Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

Why the JK? If Midway hadn’t gone tits up they would have been able to do the DLC and patches they had planned. Game was awesome and had a shit ton of untapped potential. imo.

My guess is another reboot with almost entirely new characters ala SFIII. Kitana and Lui likely being the only returning characters.

I’ve never played Monks. I just know it’s considered a GOAT beat em up. So whether it’s a sequel or a full HD remake/remaster I’m happy.

They should finally give us SF vs MK but i have no fuckin clue how that’d even work lmao

I feel like thats something that needs to happen tho along with Tekken x Virtua Fighter, for historical reasons

anyone still playing Dead Cells? im trying to beat 4 boss cell mode to unlock 5 cell and fight the collector. anyone done that already?

Of course a launch trailer for a Kojima games is almost 10 minutes. Why wouldn’t it be.

Edit: that whole trailer was groan inducing and constant eye rolling for me.

I’ll definitely just watch the movie version on YouTube. Maybe pick it up when it’s a bargain bin game

Randomly started thinking about top-10 worst games of 2019…fucking hell, we still have all of November and December left, and yet the list can already pretty much be filled out

  • Crackdown 3

  • Jump Force
  • Left Alive
  • Elder Scrolls Blades
  • Contra: Rogue Corps
  • Mario Kart Tour
  • Ghost Recon: Breakpoint
  • WWE 2k20

I feel like a Jump Force should be removed from the list due to the inclusion of the Goat of Goats Seto Kaiba. :triumph:

I was so looking forward to Sinking City & Left Alive. I mean WTF happened? I was so hurt

Also. Avengers is finally looking better and better.

I was looking forward to those games too. I was hoping for Left Alive to fill my Metal Gear fix.

Sinking City was basically heavily underbudgeted. The setting, some ideas etc, are fine, it’s just…overall mediocre

Even if there was a super hype surprise (Shaolin Monks 2 PLEASE), MK ain’t done as far as the current story line. They’ll find some way to reset everything. It might even take the whole next game for them to do it, but they’ll do it.

They already reset everything. MK11 is literally a cannonicle reboot of the entire universe.

Probably should have said revert. Whether it’s somehow taking back everything they just did, or doing the same stuff in MK Universe 2.0 for… reasons, I wouldn’t count on MK to be too different next time. Basically, they’re making it seem like they’re going to go all SFIII on MK, where most of the characters were new. I just doubt that’s going to happen.

Just have to wait and see. Mk ain’t afraid of doing some crazy shit. Franchise turned almost it’s entire protagonist cast into villains after all.

I honestly thought the original MG team was developing it, i was super hype til I saw it was a glitchy mess. It had everything it needed to succeed and still sucked

Next MK could just be a modern day MK Trilogy, dream match sort of deal, a celebration of the series just like Smash on Switch.

Just throw every character in with a non-canon story. Classic music & stages from across the franchise, it’ll print money

Blizzard keeps fucking up, lmao
