Video Game General 6.4: New Halo? What else?

As someone who only cares about MK in a narrative capacity (till they stop fuckin around make Shaolin Monks 2) and having liked MKX story enough this has me pleased. Will pop some corn and check it out today.

Shaolin Monks isnā€™t canon though.

Yet Sub-Zero mythologies is.

What a strange world we live in. :thinking:

Dunt currrr!!!

But yea what a world, Sub Zero gets respect while Shaolin Monks the best MK game of all time Kanya gets treated like a red head step child.

The world is unfair.

It should non canon. Shaolin Monks wiped itā€™s ass with the established continuity of the first two games despite all the fanservice it packed into it.

Wow, MK11 has timed unlocks for characters. I hating this shit already.

Timed unlocks that is regretful. Oh well I am waiting for the eventual price drop, as I feel I will want the DLC and last year was my never again moment when it comes to buying fighting games full priced and then seeing a quarter of the potential roster behind a pay wall.

Thats the world we live in now.

Sucks

Pretty much why I donā€™t buy NRS games first dayā€¦I usually wait until the inevitable Komplete edition goes bargain bin.

:woman_shrugging:t3: Never played it.

Missed out.

I think it came out during a time where literally the only things Iā€™d play were fighters and JRPGā€™s while ignoring everything else

The time I had to wait wasnā€™t long but this is straight up mobile game fuckary. I waiting for a prompt to tell to watch an ad video to speed things up.

Shaolin Monks was so much fun. You could do the most bonkers combos, secrets everywhere, tons of iconic MK stages turned into legit levels, Scorpion and Sub Zero fully unlockable and the cherry on top that turned it into one of the eliteā€¦co-op. Its so cool doing a combo, sending them to your friend where he continues the combo, he sends an back to you and you fatality their ass.

Every MK fighter is fucking trash in the presence of Shaolin Monks.

People who defended Dey Wan DLC, On Disk Fuckery, and Games Asshole Service, have zero grounds on which to get on all four and bitch.

MY fury, is righteous.

Lel at caring about MK, in any capacity, 'doe.

After renting that godawful MK mythologies Sub Zero back in 1997, I was hesitant to play any spin off games.

Strange that that SM came out the same time as the worst games in the main series.

All I have to say is

Summary

MK11ā€™s story confirms Kronika has been resetting the timeline repeatedly. Shaolin Monks could have taken place in one of those time lines.

The best one?

Watching MK11s story and itā€™s super weird how it looks like almost everyone got ā€œrecast.ā€ Johnny looks like the same guy but both Sonya and Cassie look like totally different people. Its weird.

Present day Johnny looks younger in MK11 than he did in MKX imo.

@StuartHayden Donā€™t get mad at man. Iā€™m just telling you what MK11ā€™s story said. Send your complains to Ed Boon. Oh and if you see an angry monkey run. @Evil_Canadian doesnā€™t take insults to Boon kindly.

Side note: Here is what I was actually about to post. Switch/PS4 Graphics/Frame Rate comparison. They game is a solid 60fps for gameplay and 30fps for cutscene like PS4/XB1 versions.

This is the first post about the game that retroactively makes me feel bad for missing out on this game.
