I laughed at a comment stating that fighting game fans love mk12/mk1.
Haahahahha! That's fucking rich.
Who are these fighting game players you speak of?
True and older Mk fans hate this game with a burning passion more than they hate the old mk annihilation movie (and thats saying a lot because that movie sucks) and special forces game alike.
Non mk fighting game fans sure may lioe the game for like....a few months and then get bored. I've seen it,heard it from the grapevine that on average most players dont stay for more then a few min at a tike because it's ridiculously frustrating to get online and boring after a while because there's nothing actually exciting about it anymore.
So.....what are these mysterious players and numbers people keep getting? Why are people lying to save this game?
It sucks. It's been sucking because they knew that they fucked up their whole franchise and series for a quick $$$
I feel they knew after mkX that it was going down the shitter. Nrs and wb spent so much money on a nothing game(suicide squad,that apparently nobody wanted btw) to make an even more nothing game(mk12/mk1,which also nobody wanted,they wanted a remastered game either shaolin monks or mk9 was the most requested)
Like nrs got the money,wb got plenty the money at the time. But nope wasted on poor decisions and poor business practices.
Now they are preying on people's stupidity,short attention spans and the people who have money to throw at this bloated paperweight of a game.
People are either going back to old games. Or jumping ship to other fighting games because of these things.
This is facts and actual reality. Not make believe numbers ceos wanna tell you,or wannabe bootlickers of companies that could care less if their fans hate them so as long as they have their money.
Even bad press is good press to them.
This is the sign of a greedy corp and a capitalist mentality that ONLY money talks.
So yeah...mk12/mk1 is shit but not for the reasons people think. Superficial personal reasons dont really play much of a factor why i fucking hate that game with every fiber of my being.
I absolutely hate it's fans. Specifically the fans of that game in particular. None of the other mk games have made me feel that way. Even when i had problems with mk11,which i did. But seeing how nrs handled mk12/mk1? Yeah,I'll take mk11s problems over that anyday.
Just only mk12/mk1 to me is a hot peice of trash. As well as it's "fans". But again due to the greed and gross business practices behind it. And whenever you actually point out to others about it. Suddenly they have sand in their ears and or can't read or heard. That whole "nahnahnah,cant hear you" type thing.
It's not even about the arguably shitty story anymore. No. Mk12/mk1 is hot Garbage because it singlehandedly convinced it's players it's ok to buy an incomplete game so as long as it's pretty enough and not much work is put into the game to have people keep buying the same game over and over and over just title it differently and suddenly people have amnesia. And only minor bugs and "fixes" suddenly people think this saves the game. No this fixes problems in the coding that should have already been there. You're basically paying for a shitty made game made by lazy people. More likely lazy higher ups but some game devs are lazy too. But some are just underpaid,so i give them some grace. But mr.boon should know better bu now due to the midway days. Mk had it's fair share of crap,im no stranger there. I was there in real time kiddos.
But....now.....they have no excuse but themselves to blame at this point.
Does this mean i will stop playing mk or loving it? Hell no! Does this mean i will be smarter about my purchases from this series and company? Yes. Because out of all the games ever released,movies,tv,etc. Mk12/mk1 is the only game i lothe and the only time i would say truly mortal kombat took a big fat stinky L. Loss. Take it,learn from it.
But apparently they dont want to.
Even the shittiest,most horrible thing to come from mk doesn't compare to how much that game sucks.
Kontent will be up later today,something cute and festive. Possibly Christmas/new years (both lunar and annular)/holidays hcs.
