Ah, modern Mortal Kombat games. I don't know how Ed Boon . managed to get all the resources to make these look so damn good even if the gameplay animation in MKX can be janky as hell but it really shows.

That's why something that would otherwise be super boring can be somewhat impressive. Let's be real: Cassie does nothing impressive here. She shoots someone in the legs and then the head. That's it. There's no backflipping and kicking a sword into someone, no giant laser convergence, just pew pew pew.

The level of polish is insane, though. The shots feel painful. The real stuff that makes this unique, of course, happens after the deathblow, and it's disrespect in a quintessential millennial fashion. That said, it does feel... blas? I think it takes too long and takes away from the snappiness of the actual gunshots, and it doesn't have the dramatic tension (by design) to pull it off the way they want.
