MK1 is dead

Mortal Kombat 1 is officially dead. This is legit so embarrassing for NRS.

it only takes a special kind of people to make mortal kombat gay and lame

the civ 7 devs need to take the hint too

Wait, racebending the cyborgs didn’t bring in a new audience of players to keep this game alive?

theyve supported it for over a year and had a dlc released, i wouldve preferred a few better dlc characters but for what it is the game felt pretty fleshed out, hopefully kameos and stances will both be absent in the next game

Mortal Kombat has always been shit.
Its weird it took so long for normies to realize it

Reboot MK AGAIN

Drop the ball on the gameplay

Shit out DLC character nobody wanted

Game flops

It's crazy that all the other MK games lasted for years but this basically died. Fuck NRS

Mortal Kombat 1 was released over 30 years ago. It might be time to just let it go.

Just make a Horror/Slasher fighting game, NRS.

spoiler: mortal kombat was always fucking gay and lame
if it didn't have gore it wouldn't have lasted past the first game, literally any other fighting game series is worth your time over this garbage
literally the most popular mortal kombat related thing in the current year is fucking futa porn of Sindel, no one actually likes these shitass games

The game was supposed to receive another Kombat pack with Jade, Sonya, Kano, Cassie, Kung Jin and a guest but khaos reigns flopped so hard that WB pulled the plug on the game.

Lmao.

They just need to say fuck it and do another Armageddon where they add every character from the series into one big game.

Apologize.

It's the same thing with South Park and Grand Theft Auto. Without the controversy and taboo aura, it wouldn't have survived because it's garbage.

MK 2 is pure shaolin kino tho

I still have no idea why they didn’t add doomguy

Okay little bro, the adults are talking now

MKTemu dead already

LTG was right

he's not wrong
GTA is just

okay you can steal cars and run over pedestrians and otherwise take part in crime and...yeah that's kind of all there is to it

and south park is the sort of thing you should grow out when you're no longer the same age as cartman

It's time for some....injustice.

gee i wonder why the game flopped

I'm willing to bet anything the title genuinely confused people especially third worlders and illiterates, whom I imagine are a big part of the MK fanbase.

MK1? I bought that years ago.

we need 50 more mortal kombats

i mean, if we must have 50 CoDs, then why not mortal kombats?

MK has been dead since Midway died and they got sold to a horrible publisher that tones down the sexy and ups the Marvel

I don't know why Boon hasn't retired yet, it must be miserable watching your creation get bent over a table and raped daily

more balance adjustments and fixes

dead

man shut yo ass up

You faggots complained about this shit in 11 and X and they did well

I agree but mk2 had merit. All downhill from there.

Ed Boon should make a sequel to shaolin monks if he wants to tell more MK stories

Mkx and 11 didn’t have dogshit ugly designs like 1.

Tanya was straight up a racist stereotype in Mk 1.

Mortal Kombat 1 is officially dead

I doubt Boon cares, mortal kombat was braindead edgy shit from day 1 and nothing has changed on that front, the sex appeal got amped up as the series went on anyway, it was never the core of the series

Killer Instinct was a better MK

toes glued together

one job

Ignoring every female character that wasn't Sindel

Revisionist faggot

Should have just made that crossover fighter

It failed because my wife wasn’t in it.

is mk1 the one with all the censorship?

You mean 11?

Where do you even go with this franchise? Its been rebooted several times. You cant just do time travel again.

They could try making a good fighting game

modern audience reimagining #247 fails

well it was always shit, chud

every fucking time

Liu Kang becomes god and tries resetting the world

it's a massive flop

I'm sure a lesson was learned here. The black hole Fatality was cool though.
Bonus soul points to NRS if they joke about his universe flopping in the next game.

A new 3D fighter would be neat, or fuck it, just a 3D beat em up a la Shaolin Monks

That's because the people complaining about it in X and 11 were retarded coombrained faggots. The MK1 designs were legitimately fucking ugly, like MK9 ugly.

They’re either going to make Mk 2 or an MK 9 remake.

I don’t see them doing another reboot again.

They will probably do a full reboot and I don't mean time travel shit. I mean a 100% fully separate from the previous games reboot.

Because those were butthurt weebs mad it wasn't anime, MK1's are actually offensively ugly, stereotyped even I'm surprised they never got backlash because it's borderline racist caricature tier

Mk1 did so bad that people confuse it with the previous installment

Darn

They never even needed to do time travel in the first place, just stop killing so many characters in the story mode just to bring them back in some bullsshit way

mk1 died within the first month. more people have been playing mk11 ever since then except for when dlc characters came out. sad!

wonder if the next game will have hot chicks in it

Truthfully, I should have dropped earlier when MK9 made Raiden a retard and most of the cast got killed. I didn't even buy MK11 when Kitana was no longer white.

no, that game is where the downfall started

How did they even bring them back in MKX after everyone dies in MK9? It's been a while since i played it and can't remember. The comic ended up not being the canon story right?

shit game

nobody complained about the girls in MKX
MKX Mileena was perfection

Quan Chi bought them back as revenants iirc

The guys that died in 9 were turned into revenants by Quan Chi, Raiden does some mystic magicbabble to make some of them normal again

Probably their most spectator friendly game, high level had some cool moments but yeah game was trash.
And they fucked up the lore too.

Their new audience expect hype guest characters. Omni Man and Homelander generated buzz but the rest were literal whos that pleased no one

Story doesn't mean anything, they can reboot it a trillion times and it won't matter.

It's been a dead whale since X
11 was just the whale finally exploding
Don't regret the monkey's paw wish on Fujin at all

You could just chill on the whole fighting game thing and remake some of the old classics like Shaolin monks

Good MK1 fucking sucks

NRS hasn't made a good fighting game in well over a decade who cares.

MK11 designs are rancid puke, it was a point of no return

theyve supported it for over a year and had a dlc released

I mean, that's admirable, sure HOWEVER: Every other fighting game gets like 2-3 years MINIMUM of support. Shit, Guilty Gear Strive is on what... season 6? And that's about 4 years old?

mkx has brown and muddy designs that completely threw me off, extremely shiny reflections on clay-sculpted models that just made no sense at all

Just make a new game with every single MK character so far and make it be a good fighting game

fighting games are gay

NOOOOO I CAN'T BUY MORE PIECEMEAL DLC FOR THIS GAME AHHHHH

fighting paypigs are the scum of the earth, only second to gacha slaves

Every shooter ever made, from Quake to COD is just

okay you can shoot at things and walk...yeah that's kind of all there is to it

Trannoid Futanari Kombat 9 was shit, that Mileena was shit.
And even fucking Armageddon was a better game.
You fags only shill that garbage game out of sheer contrarianism when old Anon Babble was mocking the ugloid femoids of that game when WWE, Dead or Alive at that same period as Soul Calibur had better looking woman.
Also MK1 Mileena looking Rae Lil Black >>>>>>>>>>>>>> MKX >>>>>>>> Klassic >>>>>>>>>>>>> abism >>>>>>> MK9 female cast

You're just outing yourself as someone who doesn't play fighting games beyond a casual button-mashing level. The MK devs have never consciously made a good and well designed fighting game. They lucked into MK2 being decent, many of the good parts of that game were not intentional.

who fucking cares about MK in 2025

fighting games

You mean the dead genre that struggles to survive? Sure buddy

This franchise had so much potential. All they had to do was copy Street Fighter and make it more violent but they couldn't even do that. When your dev team is made up of genetic dead ends whp get offended by everything then you end up with flops.

You are just a footsie SF3fag anal that people played other games

The only way forward is if God lui kang gets killed and his era ends. Make geras the new time titan have him fuck off and clear all separate timelines, solidify it back to basics in a soft reboot and move fucking forward with onaga or another titan character.

see a beautiful naked woman

think of trannies

I never liked DoA because all the girls look like plastic dolls

any mk1 design ranking anywhere above pure shit

lol

knows some eceleb fuckwad by name

double lol

They are scared of going back to the days of MK3/Trilogy when the game was at its peak.

Some of us don't play videogames as a popularity content. With that said, fighting games are far from dead. An uncountable amount of random slop will still get dozens of unique players per day. The community is very split but it definitely isn't "dead." Compared to AFPS games which suffer from a split community but 1/100th the overall playerbase and 1/1000th the games.

any podcast ever these days

a bunch of fat dysgenic retards who barely play videogames being loud and obnoxious while they share their dogshit opinions on why something they didn't give a shit about until it become popular is LE HECKIN EPIC WHOLESOME but we sure are glad we toned down all those oof yikes cringe elements from the grungy old games!

So very tired

calling mk9 mileena a "woman" as all of the mk9 cast

Shitting on Dead or Alive

Calling a retired porn actress a E-Celeb

Shartrannies are retarded and i thank the shitshow for opening everyone's eyes for these fags shitting these threads

The problem is that they don't care to make a good game. The animations are still horrendous especially for a AAA fighting game. They just don't bother to improve it.

i dread to think how they'll butcher their next game

Why do you like trannies so much anyway?

Watch the top hat video later about how they fumbled badly with the trilogy remasters.

All they had to do was copy Street Fighter and make it more violent but they couldn't even do that

MK is bigger than SF

I'm not from the sharty, nobody is shitting up the thread, Mileena in MK9 is hot as fuck and I'm genuinely sorry if you can't enjoy that and I don't hate DoA, I just never really got the appeal when the girls look so artificial.

watching real life porn

eww, don't breathe on me

That happened with Yakuza. Most of these faggots have never touched the older games but atill claim to be the foremost authority on them. I don't know how it got popular with these people considering the content in those games.

I am not f-f-f-from sharty

Every single time

Anon, do you really think they actually PLAY the games?

Game isn’t getting a sequel btw. They are going to find a way to return to the MK9-11 storyline/universe due to the flop lol

revisioning already?
i liked 11 kitana, and X wasn't ugly
Sweet Baby Inc's Mortal Kombat was abhorrent. Design wise, story wise and systemwise.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

Not for the right reasons. It's popular with normans who only care about the fatalities. No fighting game player takes it seriously. MK is a joke.

Lol of course they don't. Even the ones that do just rush through them so they can claim the "I've played it!" card.

It was inevitable when the most stalwart of MK porn artists stopped drawing MK past X.
And it turns out that MK3/MKT/UMK3 was the peak

Madame Bo was the only good thing to come out of this dogshit, and she barely had a part in the story and didn’t even get a full fighter. Fuck MK1.

He must win!

Why do you browse the sharty?

Only retards take videogames seriously

I only bought it for robocop

last mk game was mk9

I bought it cause it was bundled with Injustice for like 10 bucks

You are retarded kys

Insightful

this

That would be MK10
That is when it went from cheesy kung fu movie to aping marvel

I will never forgive them for shitting on Hanzo Hasashi and giving her name and powers to Kuai.

Fuck Boon.

RIP Double Helix

NRS better get their shit together for their next game or else WB will shut them down.

They could just make mk9 over and over again and people would gobble it up

How? Is Lui Kang or Raiden going to reboot the universe again?

studio can only make one type of game

still manages to fumble the bag several times

MK and Injustass both must be really profitable, to an insane level even. A good publisher would've given them the boot earlier

They will most likely remake Mk 9 and go from there.

They seriously need to cut out the time travel and multiverse shit.

I remember being disappointed that Injustice 2 only had Superdouche and Wonder Cunt instead of good guy Superman and Wonder Woman.

Mk1 apparently sold 5 million and its considered a flop cause MK11 sold 15 million

Raiden isn't even a god anymore, just some guy

There's a reason when people are talking about the economics of the fighting game market you basically always had to asterisk it with "excluding Smash and Mortal Kombat" because those games sold so insanely well they're statistical outliers to what stuff like Street Fighter or Tekken normally sell, much less something from say, SNK or a Guilty Gear title or something.

Rebooted again.

The blame is on MK11, what were they thinking?

How is it embarrassing? Didnt they add a whole story expansion and 2 seasons of characters? That's essentially the same as MK11. What else do yall want from one game?

I dunno what it is. I felt like they didnt let enough time pass before MK1 came out after 11. I wasnt even tired of 11 yet and they already annoucing another game that kinda looked the same

WB wants their games to constantly have billions of people playing their games 24/7 and constantly buying in-game stuff.

These are the same people that openly said they want to make more games like Suicide Squad Kill the JL over Hogwarts Legacy despite the latter making more money.

WB is becoming EA levels of cheapness and obsessed with becoming more rich than Fortnite and CoD

racebending

Ah yes female is my favorite race. Black and Asian are my favorite genders.

Rumors are that they wanted to do Injustice 3, but couldn't.

Based. "Fighting game" series in which the best game by far is beatemup spin off lmao.

Just make a fucking Shaolin Monks 2, cowards

My friends gifted it to me for my birthday the year it came out and I'm still mad at them. Yeah i'm a big MK fan but that game was utter dogsiht. Dogshit gameplay including bad animations and dumb cameo mechanic, woke ugly character models, no fucking crypt, no proper tower mode and the story was mediocre at best but was probably the best thing out of the game, which is saying something.

Shaolin Monks is too heccin problematic for modern NRS
