Despite whats in or not in - This is the best MK ever
Despite whats in or not in - This is the best MK ever
I know that I can't say it with surity until I have the disc in my PS4, but I think we can make an educated guess that MKX has the potential to be an incredible addition to the series. It feels bigger than that though.
The care NRS has taken in making the practice mode is astounding. Providing the capability to create set conditions that you might have difficulty overcoming in online play really allows each individual to get the most out of their fighting game experience. Special move & combo setup spammers can be dealt with by simply using a process of elimination approach during practice mode to discover the best answer to every problem. You can literally teach yourself to play as technically sound as you care to invest the time to do so. Add factions and the living tower to the mix and we've got the best online experience I could dream of. Wow.
I'll be the first to admit, I was awfully skeptical about variations. I felt it made the game more complicated and that characters I wanted in the game might get sacrificed for the resources to create multiple variations per fighter. But now I realize the variation system is an ingenious way to give us fans the most balanced experience possible. Some characters simply got owned by others in MK9 and variations are the solution to the balancing issue. Some fighters have variations that add a little more offensive/defensive depth, while others have a variation that gives them a whole new approach altogether. I think Kung Jin is a prime example of variations giving a fighter three very different skill sets. Wow.
The roster. Oh that GD roster. Do I want Fujin? Yes. Do I want Havik & Bo Rai Cho? Absolutely. But when I look at the returning characters, I love all of them and can't wait to experiment with everything they have to offer. Except maybe Jax and Sonya, and that's because their kids are in. But oh well; if I'm gonna be a baby over 2/25 with another 4 DLC while those 2 I don't care for are other fans' favorites...then I have control issues. The new additions to the roster are a diverse group and I'm looking forward to seeing how their personalities develop during story mode. Call me optimistic, but NRS has really worked on providing a longer lasting experience, and I'm hoping that might mean DLC support beyond the Kombat Pack. A big hopeful Wow.
I'll never forget seeing Sub-Zero rip Kano's head off in a little arcade in Arlington Heights, IL back in 1992. I was hooked. And then MKII introduced Kung Lao who split Reptile in half with his hat. Every new game has introduced new fighters that we've grown to love while walking that balance of bringing back enough of our favorites. Thank you Ed Boon & Co for creating a series that has been a part of growing up and continues to be a part of my life as a husband and parent of three kids. That's pretty cool to say that about a video game. Wow.

Don't worry bro I'm in the same boat. Gots to pay the bills before i can buy an xbox one, and i am not going to buy a watered down last gen version. No way. So it'll be videos for me until next year. But yes, mkx, even though it doesn't have my favorite character as playable, Baraka, easily looks to be the best mk ever and nrs deserves all of the glory it will receive. Thank you Ed and team!

I wholeheartedly agree.
I know I've posted my fair share of dramatics about things I wasn't pleased with (some I'm still sore about - post Trilogy), but upon stepping back and looking at everything this game is bringing to the table, I honestly think this will be the MK to topple all MKs. Keeping nostalgic favorites like MK2 out of mind, overall, this game is looking superbly epic in just about every aspect. Presentation, story, gameplay, new characters, finishers, other game modes, online experience, and more.
I mean, Erron Black's and Reptile's reveals ended up as worldwide fucking trends on Twitter. As well as the Kombat Kast itself. Has that ever even happened before? Even though I don't do Twitter, that seems like a big deal to me.
I've also noticed that they focused the majority of their articles in foreign magazines. An attempt at expanding the game's influence as far and wide as possible.
The level of depth and detail in this game is unreal. The Faction introductory videos for one, blew me away. Not to mention the hourly and daily updated Towers.
I've heard numerous people I know or have come across, who, up until this game, didn't even take notice of or care about MK. Some gamers, some not.
All in all, I seriously can't believe we're just over two weeks out! The hype is literally getting real. I know there's things a lot of people still aren't too happy about, but I honestly do hope that everyone truly enjoys this game considering all it has to offer, not to mention the tremendous amount of effort that the team has put into it.
Once again, it's motherfuckin' KOMBAT TIME ya'll.
Ready. Yer. Bones.

Yep, I agree with pretty much everything here.
Lets also not forget that online buddy practice is coming back from Injustice and they even hinted that you can sit in and mess around in practice mode while awaiting a challenge online. Awesome stuff.

The thing is, because this is the best MK ever, we want our favorite characters be a part of that. It won't be the best BECAUSE our favorite characters would be in the roster, but it's so awesome that everyone wants their favs to see how could they would be here.

I agree. A character like Reptile is pretty much already an "instant lock", but even without him I'd still be as hyped as I am now.
I have said before that I'd honestly sacrifice and exchange his primary roster spot for a DLC one if it meant giving one or two more of the post-Trilogy era characters a chance to join this fray. That's how bad I wanted to see some of them receive the right kind of revamp that they deserved.
But nonetheless, at least Shinnok looks fantastic all around, and I still can't get over Quan Chi's new design. And I'll need CPR if Fujin doesn't make the second wave of DLC though, or isn't already the unlockable. NRS knows all too well the multitude of requests for him. Excluding him at this point would be a travesty.
But back on topic here -
I'm so ready for this game! It's at that point now where April 14th will seriously be here before we know it...

I knew this was going to be the best MK ever after I saw Johnny kick Scorpion's ass.
