The robots kick rear end, as does the terminator. I want them all

That said I found triborg's design to be a little underwhelming. Sektor, Cyrax and Cyber Sub looked great in MK9.

I hope Shao Kahn has a variation where all you do is point and insult the other player which causes damage over time.

And a command laugh.

That would unironically be pretty great

Steam achievements might have leaked that Erron Black is returning.

There's a bunch of achievements for performing 2 fatalities with different kharacters, and one of them is abbreviated ERR.

That's Errmac, Ermac's multiple souls thing has finally started to confuse him

Playing against MK9 kabal most characters are gonna feel slow and bad lol. Stryker wasn't amazing but he had some cool pressure stuff with his gun dash cancels

DLC Inc posted:

yeah I hope MK11 lasts for a longer time given how the dev cycle for this was a bit longer than usual. I don't want another Injustice at all; IJ2 was a good game but I'm more into seeing the improvements they made in that (grafix, gear modification, custom loadouts, single player kontent) carry into a Mortal Kombat. Ideal situation would be much longer support for MK11 and doing something else on the side.

You know better

Low tier play in MK9 was pretty fun imo but it was a pretty steep climb trying to win consistently with Cyber Sub/Stryker. I ended up switching to Sonya but I never felt completely toothless before then (my local friend who mained Jade sure did though.)

It's not the same engine or general gameplay as the GC/PS2/Xbox games. That said MK isn't terribly difficult to get into, I wouldn't worry much.

Old kharacters you're familiar with will have a couple of iconic moves that you will remember but in general the playstyles have all shifted a bit.

In terms of story you are... one timeline reset and 2 sequels removed so a lot changed.

They've been called mutants since MK2. I don't remember if they walked that back in the 3D games now that they have an actual species name.



Original timeline tarkatans were supposed to be some gross fusion race made by Shao Khan or Shang Tsung. New timeline does not contradict this that I know of but I may have missed something

plot: it really felt like they just didn't want to work with the reboot continuity any more but also wanted to let liu kang get a win for once in over 20 years. i found the ending disappointing mostly because it felt like nothing really mattered leading up that moment (obviously untrue, just a gut feeling). you've got all these character arcs playing out (or being half finished) and ultimately they aren't gonna be resolved because that timeline just isn't real any more.

it's not a bad ending or anything, just really deflating as some dork who pays too much attention to a murder game plot.
