Mortal Kombat 11 IOTI Rip out your beating heart!

While Ash is very likely to be in KP2, the newsletter "leak" seems like hogwash to write a bait headline. Looking through the newsletters that I got in the past they used to only includ the MK trademark while the latest one includes all the trademarks for the KP1 character (like spawn, joker, terminator) plus Ash, It might be a leak, might be a leftover or it might be legal reasons since they advertised ash the first time they announced the Kombat pack 1
 
Fuck WB and NRS! He should have been part of the first Season Pass! Bruce teased this way before the game itself was published... He alone was the reason I toppled over pre-ordering the "Deluxe"-Fuck-me-in-the-ass-i'm-stupid-Edition... I fucking hate pre-order culture and was fooled...hard... I even made my peace with the fact, that his participation was a fucking hoax, yeah, got me good here... GODDAMMIT! :messenger_pouting:

I fucking hate these guest characters when the MK lore has so many awesome ones that are missing from the game but I feel I could accept Doomguy to be in it.

It would be cooler if they simply did a fighting game that featured only these kinds of characters, a horror/action movie ensemble fighting game. It's be even cooler if someone other than NRS did it.

WOW! I did not expect that.
- play felt smooth and polished.
- graphics pop out on 4K. character design and animation is excellent, the personalities are well reflected by the design.
- the writing is excellent for the material it's based on. built an interesting and entertaining fantasy world from an originally cheesy concept. it's like Keven Fieg produced it. and the scripting of the story and the the action is great. the story in SF5 and Tekken are complete trash compared to this.

after playing this Netherrealm are upgraded to one of the best studios in gaming. I thought Injustice 1&2 were cool but MK11 took it to another level.

I own it on Steam and would fucking love to play it. But it had corrupted files bugs all the time. Validated the files and even deleted the whole game. Still occurred, but now it worked. Am playing the story mode first, then see if the crypt motivates me. Am not an online mp guy in fighting games.

I think you'll get some fun out of it just for those things alone TBH. I played a ton of multiplayer when I was grinding to get the Scorpion Reptile outfit since Reptiles always been a favorite of mine. It made me realize how much I don't care for the multiplayer at all, unfortunately. So many things felt unbalanced and/or broken. It lead me to think that 11 has certainly improved since X, but man, MK9 was SOOOOOO good. I'm really hoping they go back to that speed and feel.

I was also really bummed that PC wasn't included in cross-platform, etc.

It is truly astonishing that this port is still as bad as it is. Corrupted files all the time. Game won't start or crash during cutscenes.

It's not like the game has been released just last week and like they didn't had the time.

Really enjoy the game itself. Visuals are insanely good, the character models and the lighting are top notch. The story is dumb fun and I enjoy the fighting.

It is a shame. It’s a shame both that the performance is bad and how awful the monetisation is in the series. I played every single game in the series until 9, and I even bought some of the DLC for that. I wouldn’t do it again, but I loved the game and everything they did with it. But I stayed away from 10 because I was unsure what they were going to do with it, and I’m glad I did either the overboard DLC. 11 has just proven to be worse in that regard, and the end result is that a series I grew up with is essentially dead to me. There’s no way I’d want to play a classic arcade ladder and come up against a horror movie villain, and that’s without considering that some fan favourites like Smoke were killed off.

tl;dr NRS + WB have both in their own ways killed MK for me. The only way I'd come back is if they did Shaolin Monks again and didn't fuck up the PC port or flood it with unnecessary content.

Wow.

So the story is pretty easy on medium. But then Kronika comes and just hatefucks me. Jeez she kicked my ass so hard that I thought it was scripted and that I was supposed to lose.

Tried it three times, lost badly and went to bed. Guess I have to look up how to cheese her.

Granted it was a while back, but i don't remember having much trouble with her. They must have updated her AI or something possibly in one of the many patches since i platinumed the game.

I do remember jump kicks working fairly well, and also basic 2-4 hit combos, nothing really flashy.

I pretty much won every match on the first try during the story, but then she just crushed me. Maybe my strategy and play style so far just don't work well with her.

Thanks for the tips, will try it tonight!

So does anyone have any resources for helping a beginner learn the game? Preferably the simplest and most straightforward.

I've always been a filthy casual at fighting games, and id love to get better at them.

Haha ok. So I just jumped around like an idiot and only used kicking attacks. Easy breezy, won both rounds.
My mistake was to try and fight her like a normal enemy.

Is the story DLC any good?

Also, the camera perspective and controls in the Krypt are so annoyingly bad. Feels all kinds of wrong.
