Current Events > Yo, the Mortal Kombat 1 campaign was fun as fuck

(+) Yeah! (+)

Especially the last chapter

What did boogie think of it

Yeah the last chapter they absolutely had a blast with all the character names lol.

But I also agree with the criticism that the ending did felt rushed. I also do wish they stop dedicating whole chapters to one playable character. The playable character should be whatever will benefit the plot. It was kind of annoying to see the "tournament" Raiden winning all the fights.

With that said, the story mode was fantastic. I love what they did to Baraka and Reptile, they finally graduated from being jobbers to actual characters.

I think that was a semi serious way to implement this:

Mileena as well.

Unfortunately, they still have a problem with villains that aren't the main antagonist. Baraka, Reptile, and Mileena all graduated from jobber status because they all became good guys. Reiko, Havik, Nitara, Rain, etc. all end up feeling like jokes since they do nothing but lose every fight they get into. It's especially bad for Shao, since he's king of the jobbers now when he used to be one of the biggest threats in the series.

Shao got massively depowered like Shang Tsung. It's less that he's a jobber and more like he was deprived of the tools he used in the old timeline.

How were the female booties?

Maybe that's how Liu Kang wanted it.

Oh shit, yeah Mileena as well. I love the fact that almost all the characters got a good ending, not used to that in a MK game lol.

But 100% agreed, almost all the 3D MK villains all degraded to jobbers. From the post credit scene, there's a high likely chance they're going to do an Aftermath DLC type of thing and it would be a good opportunity to get rid of this character/chapter format, it would help get rid of the "jobber" problem and give a chance for all characters to have some kind of moment to shine.
