I’m so disappointed with the monitization in mk1. The game is great I did buy at launch because i was hyped for story mode, and 11 had so much single player content. 1 not so much. I do not mind season passes if they are going to support the game, however a season pass plus paid fatalities and cosmetics is ridiculous and the current state of the game is so lacking.
Probably my only gaming regret of the year so far was thinking this game would live up to the last 3.
I loved MK11 and still have it on my PS5, years later. That rarely happens. But I hate the multiplayer. Primarily because I suck. The single player I can at least try and can say “input reading” when I get my ass kicked. But online? Just ends up being disrespectful douchebags. Kick my ass, fine, but do you have to be so fuckin toxic about it?
Knowing there’s a huge drop in single player content just simply means I’m not getting the game. At least not without a drastic sale. Considering Liu Kang is now a God (FUCK him, the aggravating little twat) I was already kinda meh on it. Knowing that I’d be shoved towards the ‘community’? Love you Ed Boone but you can fuck off now.
Because too many online companies have their value predicated on continued growth and so once they saturate their niche they try to continue to grow and doom themselves in the process outside of a select few that had already become too big to fail.
Because shareholders and valuations. If you don’t expand expand grow expand grow grow, people immediately see this as the company collapsing this very moment. It’s impossible to just “exist”. Be stable. Be reliable. Nope, massive growth every year no matter the cost or you’re obviously doomed.
But yeah it’s a good fighting game as it is. Just wish they’d leave it alone instead of trying to squeeze money from it until well past when it’s a dry piece of rock.
I hate it when they give something the suffix “one” when there have been multiple previous versions. This is like the 13th game in the main series, but some asshole was like “Let’s call it Mortal Kombat 1!”, same goes for “Xbox One”.
When it started out as “One” suffix to signal that it’s a hub sort-of-thing it made sense but then they took it and ran with it. I wonder how many sales XBox missed because of their dumb naming schemes. I honestly still don’t know which xbox is the newest one.

Is that a press release for a trailer? Are you going to release a trailer for the trailer next? Just fucking tell us the release date and shut up until then. It’s not like you need to introduce the GTA brand to anyone.
I swear this game is going to flop because of the massive expectations people are going to have. I may be wrong and also never got the appeal of those games, so take my opinion with a grain of salt
The massive hype and popularity means everyone and their mother will buy it day 1 even if it ends up being trash. They don’t need to keep you happy, just to buy the game
I hate that you’re right. Because that’s what gaming is boiled down to today. How to maximize day 1 profit, no need for down the line customer enjoyment
I wouldn’t be so sad about it. That’s just what happens with AAA games. I cite Cyberpunk (which honestly great in CDPR for how much post-launch work they’ve put in, but we gotta admit it was launched when it was as a means to pull in profit fast), every modern Fifa or CoD or Madden. Diablo 4 has been the king of this crime.
On the other hand you have amazing games being pushed out by indie devs, or smaller franchises within those big publishers. Hell, doesn’t even need to be either of those, Nintendo still puts out mega-hyped high quality games like Super Mario Wonder or BoTW/TotK.
