To me MK took everything good about Street Fighter and Tekken and ramped up the dial to 11. At one time I believe it was THE fighting franchise; after completely reinventing the standard formula of "stand 20 feet away and spam fireballs until you win" and REVOLUTIONIZED the fighting genre as a whole. Hell it influenced gaming in the 90's as a whole. It created the ESRB and made people think differently about how games could be done in general. Without MK we wouldn't have Grand Theft Auto, God of War, COD, Doom, etc. MK made gaming more mature and fighting games "FIGHTING" games! It was ALWAYS my favorite fighting franchise because it did things differently than other series. Now it has John Cena and Megan Fox. WTF NRS?!? Bring back MORTAL KOMBAT!!!

People who did not grow up in the mid 90’s don’t have the experience of what it’s like walking into an arcade or a 7/11 grocery store and seeing an MK arcade. I grew up playing MK1, MK2, MK3, UMK3, MK Trilogy, and MK4. Seeing an MK arcade then was like seeing your crush. It demanded your respect. MK games had a serious tine to it and didn’t take a back seat to any frigging fighting games of its time. 7/11 stores would rather have an MK arcade than a Street Fighter arcade.

Not a hard concept to grasp but I'm referring to MK1 being McDonald's. Even though NRS time and time again gives us the bare minimum post injustice 2. People will still buy the next game cause it's MK similar McDonald's being bad for you yet we buy and consume it by the millions.

Ric Flair vs Johnny Cage Wooo off when?

I would say that the biggest problem here is that MK doesn’t necessarily have a legacy. I’m not talking about the popularity of the franchise, but the gameplay itself. Every Mortal Kombat game plays VASTLY DIFFERENT from each other. SF, Tekken, and even KOF are fundamentally the same game. They’re the same cake with different icing on top. MK changes every single time. The problem with MK1 is, they created a system that they don’t know how to manage. That’s why almost every patch somehow makes things worse. Idk, that’s just me.

I wish Killer Instinct would take MK's spot

Mortal Kombat didn't die with M1K, I would argue MK has been in a zombie state for years since even MK9 & MKX had it's major issues that got inflated with MK11 & M1K. the franchise started it's slow death ever since it's true creator, John Tobias, left Midway back in 2000 during the production of Special Forces. and while the writing wasn't nearly as good in the PS2 era, at least the franchise at that point was still somewhat consistent. and if MK Armageddon was treated as the true finale of the entire franchise, I would of been perfectly fine with it. now a days, I still think it's the last truly good MK game. the day MK truly died was during the release of MKvsDCU because that's where all of these problems that has been growing with the franchise truly began. it was the catalyst to the low tier writing and the poor quality character development and the constant retcons, and there's no way around it anymore. and it's not just the games that suffered from this, it was also the adaptations that came & went since 2011. and none of them has any long lasting appeal like the older films & TV shows did even as far as entertainment value is concerned. it's just as bad as Disney's Star Wars which is the closest comparison I can possibly make. and just like Disney's Star Wars, it has killed any enthusiasm that I may have had with this franchise to where I simply cannot support this franchise under these clowns due to the bad decisions and poor quality content that has been given to us. I blame Ed Boon, I blame his writing team, I blame NRS, I blame WB, and I blame the fans who supported this travesty. and at this point, I'd rather support the older MK games from 1992 to 2006 when Midway was Midway and MK was at it's peak.

The game felt odd for me, i am a very casual player but the invasions was a massive almost mobile game like grind. The core game was fun to begin with but just got bored l. It has a feeling of they were really rushed and had to prioritise certain aspects

Honestly, I want to go back to the good old days of Mortal Kombat. Where there was no such thing as buffs and nerfs for a character, dark atmosphere as to what Mortal Kombat was; dark, no microtransactions,no multiverse like story, having a krypt where you spend in game currency and making it creepy, and to me most important of all in my honest opinion, having a konquest mode, and no such thing as “Beef Set” online.

MK11 moved the franchise closer to injustice. Its no longer dark and gritty or mysterious. Its just a bunch a crap with super moves that don't fit the characters. This MK is so bad but on a technical and corporate level. But the last 2 games were horrible in their tone and what the MK universe should be.

MK1 is way better than MK11, but Tom is right about the power level being too low in MK1. Characters should be massively buffed.

Does anybody know if there is a discord to play MKX or MK9? Trying to find a community who still plays those games and have some fun.

I don't enjoy the kameos, that is one of the biggest reasons I don't play MK1.

I think it's a mistake to outright say you're done talking about MK 1, even if it's hot garbage. You'll probably want to go back into it at some point....even if it's hot garbage 😂

I knew this game would die quick as soon as i saw it was just MK11 with choosable challenge tower assists. Shit is brutal, use to love this IP

Good on you for moving to things that will make you happy! ❤ I feel your pain and dissatisfaction with Mk1. I know you will find better things in the future!

Thank you for your contribution to the community Tom. You had some of the most hype moments during MK9, I still go back and watch those matches. Always loved seeing you on commentary, some of the best talent the scene had to offer. Wish you got to commentate ever since NRS started their Pro Series. Thanks again for everything

it definitely killed my interest in the franchise. bought the ultimate, haven't picked it up since Ermac released.

I'll definitely miss the, "poke, poke, poke, your turn, my turn" but the show must stop at some point. I look forward to the new content, best of luck and stay strong.

Because mkx everyone was broken lmao and combo potential was light years ahead of current MK games

I’m a diehard Streetfighter nerd and I always thought MK relied on cheesy specials, endless near unblockable combos and the Finishers were always more exciting than playing the actual game. That being said, I bought MK X because of the hype and wanted to try it, it was actually a FANTASTIC game and completely worth my money. Just the Krypt section of the game would have been worth my money. I loved it. So then I bought MK 11 hoping for an even better version of MK X, and it was definitely NOT that. So I won’t even bother with MK 1. Ironically, I would even bet money that I have MK X to thank for SF 6 being as good as it is, because when SF 5 dropped it was bare bones and no gameplay features, then MK X dropped and blew it completely out of the water with features. I bet Capcom got their heads out of their asses after seeing how great MK X was.

Please don't stop pointing out how garbage modern MK is, you are the only voice of reason in the sea of access shills. You NEED to continue making videos ❤❤❤

Tom been watching you since the start of MKX and I learned about fundamentals from you whenever I had a question I always went to your videos. It’s sad that something we both loved has been such a disappointment the past years. Maybe we are just getting older but regardless whatever you post I’ll be here to support. Thank you for always being honest in the community no matter how people perceive you. Part of the reason why I enjoyed your videos is because I knew you weren’t in it for money or anything you just had genuine love for the game and it’s sad when we see the thing we love become something we despise

MK1 had a lot to prove after 11 and it dropped the ball so damn hard. I was actually interested in an assist based MK too but it's just variations again. Except the characters somehow got more watered.

Crazy that we haven't even exchanged our thoughts on this topic yet and everything you're saying is in my video lool. Should be encoded in like an hour or so. KZread is kicking my a** today with its speed.

Consistency. Every mk is so different from the previous. SF and Tekken are extremely consistent in comparison. Sales numbers are attributed to fatality member berries period end of story it has nothing to do with excitement for it as a skilled based fighting game. It’s THE casual game with the most name recognition.

Love your passion Tom. Would love to see you put your time into Tekken, but I will watch anything that you are this impassioned about for sure.

@@Shakebackshordyy when Midway was purchased by WB, WB over time slowly stripped away creativity within NetherRealm and forced more DEI bullshit down their throats. The games are boring and bland just to keep everything safe and check boxes. I still play MKX BTW.

Dogshit kameo system, lack of content, no krypt or konquest mode, bare bones customization, and watered down characters that are totally reliant on kameos, which again is dogshit. What the hell was NRS thinking with this game? At this point I just hope WB crumbles and is forced to sell the franchise. And whoever buys it should do a clean house.

GARBAGE!!! was I the only one who laughed every time he said GARBAGE. Ha ha, nothing but love for you, Tom. Keep making videos

The only reason outside of personal friends I even got interested in being halfway good at MK was you. It sucks to hear you so disillusioned about something you love so passionately, but I agree with you: if it ain’t fun, no reason to push it. Imma stick around though. Wanna see where you go next.

people need to start waiting a couple months before they buy a game to look at more gameplay and reviews to see if its actually worth it. also nrs did a 50% discount a couple months after release.................seeing them charging $10 for a fatality and for skins ruined this game for me. also same boring combo routes
