Only on ch3 of the story cuz it's late and I wasn't gonna spend a billion gamer bucks to play a few days early.

Prestoff 09/19/23 2:10:16 AM #2:	If there is one thing NRS knows how to do well, it's the cinematics. I'm also happy to say the gameplay is a whole lot of fun. Dial a combo thing is going to get some getting used to after playing SF6 a lot, but the amount of sauce I could find with the Kameos system is off the rails. This is one of the few games I'm actually having fun labbing --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:976164931] in Mortal Kom...

Smashingpmkns 09/19/23 3:03:31 AM #3:	The gameplay is really fun and it feels a lot better than 11. I do miss the interactive environments tho. I will say that SF6 really knocked it out of the park for a sequel in that series and MK1 feels like a bit of a step back in many ways for NR. MK11 had so much unlockable shit and a bunch of QOL improvements from MK10. In MK1 you can't even pin a combo. Hell, player 2 can't even select a stage. Some really weird shit is missing like hidden character select and player 2's move list doesn't contain any fatality inputs smh. I hope they do a major update soon cuz the game is fun as hell but it needs a lot of QOL stuff added. --- http://i.imgur.com/x04tPRZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/t7T392I.jpg <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:976165310] in Mortal Kom...

Prestoff 09/19/23 11:36:27 AM #4:	I'll be fully honest, I didn't even notice a lot of the QOL issues because I really only play this game online, but I did notice that you couldn't pin combos which is incredibly stupid. It's most likely an oversight that can easily get patched, but it's also kind of hard to write it off as an "oversight" with how huge NRS is. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:976170934] in Mortal Kom...

Smashingpmkns 09/19/23 2:08:16 PM #5:	Yeah there's a lot of stuff that it seems like they missed or didn't care to put in. Shame because this might be the best gameplay in the series since 9. I'm going through the tutorials while working and "up block" is a neat new mechanic. Very simple but effective.

I was hoping for something you could activate at any time without breaking the flow of combat but instead you can only use them when you're not already being combo'd, and your character just... stops moving when you call one. <cite>TMOG posted [p:976173980] in Mortal Kom...

TMOG 09/19/23 2:12:05 PM #7:	Also disappointed that Switch owners have to wait "a couple weeks" for Invasions content, considering that the desire to grind out Invasions without being tethered to my TV or computer is what prompted me to go for the Switch version in the first place. Really hoping that NRS decides to be fair and either give Switch owners extra time to play this season, or at the very least a bump in their seasonal currency to help get the gear that they may not have time to earn via gameplay now. <cite>TMOG posted [p:976174009] in Mortal Kom...

I thought it was great except for the last chapter which was kind of weak and the final battle was also pretty easy. I've been playing Invasions now to try and get the ~~Hanzo skin~~ but I'm only on the second mesa so far.

Prestoff 09/19/23 5:55:05 PM #18:	Reptile and Baraka got the best end of the stick from this reboot, where instead of unimportant jobbers, they become actual characters with great cool moments as well. The ones that got the worst end of the stick are the 3D MK characters like Nitara, Havik, Darius, and especially Reiko...who became the new jobbers. ~~Though Titan Havik looks to be pretty interesting, it screams DLC story which I honestly won't mind buying.~~ I seriously hope we get Harumi as a DLC character in the future, we need more female fighters! And I'm with everyone that the worst part about the story mode was the final chapter (other than Megan Fox). The NRS team had a lot of fun with the ~~fusion characters~~ but by then you knew exactly how everything was going to end. I also have get used to the fact that almost everyone in the arcade ending gets good endings, but that's because this is Liu Kang's universe so it makes sense why lol. TMOG posted...

I've been thinking of it like the PS5 is the arcade version and the Switch is the SNES/Genesis versions.

It doesn't help that your character moves so slow as well. I honestly preferred the Krypt in the previous MK games.

Jupiter 09/21/23 11:26:52 AM #50:	Yea, the concept behind invasion is cool, but the execution sucks. And the fact that you can't move the camera much is stupid. I guess they don't want to make it easier to see things, but without a map, it just makes the stupidly slow traversal even more annoying. You should at the very least be able to change directions before you land on a node in case you accidentally go the wrong direction.
