Game Rant: Give Me A Reason To Care About Mortal Kombat X

A new Mortal Kombat should at least be a little exciting, but the new teaser trailer making the rounds is anything but.

author you're a moron. This game is amazing looking, finally they gave Scorpion a cool look instead of that awful samurai looking crap, now he looks insane.
the graphics and fighting looks amazing, and the internal view looks awesome as opposed to it looking terrible in past games.
I for one have loved every MK game since the very first and they have, unlike Street Fighter, improved every aspect by leaps and bounds with every new iteration. The SP story of the last MK for instance was great and gave the game a good 20 hours of depth that you won't find in ANY other fighter around.
So quit your complaining for page view and get ready for new ninjas :)

Genki3614d ago

So you've loved every MK game and you have the nerve to call the author a moron? How can your words be given any credence when you admit to a lack of impartiality? I'm sorry, but you can't expect everyone to be as much of a sycophant as you are. Different strokes for different folks.

Gaming1013614d ago

The author IS a moron, but not because of the reasons yellowgerbil outlined. He's a moron because he was expecting the entire game, the story, all the characters, the setting, the new moves, all to be outlined and explained in the very first teaser video. I mean hello, no one does that. It's called a teaser for a reason - to get the fanbase excited who already love the franchise. If the author is complaining that the tiny teaser trailer didn't outline the entire game to "Give him something to be excited about that wasn't in all the previous MK games" then he should wait till that information is made available later on instead of being a snarky little entitled whiner.

"I for one have loved every MK game since the very first and they have, unlike Street Fighter, improved every aspect by leaps and bounds with every new iteration."
Give me one aspect of the street fighter gameplay that wasn't tweaked or improved recently with each new release . You can't.

"The SP story of the last MK for instance was great and gave the game a good 20 hours of depth that you won't find in ANY other fighter around. "
yeah yeah , you guys play a fighting game for it's story ... and the rest of the world for the fun the gameplay provides or his competitive aspect online or at tournaments..
Just because the last MK was above average this time doesn't mean everyone should forgot the years and the years of bad games

Baka-akaB3614d ago

Are you sure you about your outburst ? It's indeed too early to whine about the game , but it's obvious and confirmed the video had no gameplay footage .

Mystogan3614d ago

The trailer was not gameplay it was CG

Timesplitter143614d ago (Edited 3614d ago )

First of all, that trailer was CG. We don't know what the game looks like.

Second of all, did you seriously just praise MK for its story?

Third of all, why on earth does shit like this article get approved? One person is not interested in one specific game and that's news? I wouldn't even put stuff like this on a personal blog, because there is literally no point to this article. Why do you need a reason? Why do you expect people to give you a reason? If you don't care about a game just keep not caring about it. Jesus. Remember to downvote the story and the website.

Onenyte3614d ago

"Second of all, did you seriously just praise MK for its story? "

In comparison to every fighting game on the market right now ?

It has the best story by a long shot......

Baka-akaB3614d ago (Edited 3614d ago )

It was good for a fighting game , but it's hardly the sole fighting game that had a good story or tentative at it . There are stuff like the whole blazblue franchise .

You guys just forget it because it's "animuuuu" and present it like a visual novel , instead of a "cg movie"

MeLoveRamen3614d ago

yellowgerbil, how can you tell this game looks amazing? Have you seen gameplay yet, because i hate to break it to you but that trailer is nothing but CGI, it has gameplay elements in it like environment weapons and fatalities but the trailer will look nothing like the actual game. Especially considering it is cross gen game and its running on Unreal Engine 3 instead of 4 don't get your hopes up on this game being a next gen looker

Then maybe the game isn't aimed at you, the fans seems to love it and that is all that matters. It is ok to not like a game that others love you know.

yankolo3614d ago

One reason?????
Its mortal kombat punk...

Cool. Wanted to play Hell Let Loose and I always enjoy a good golf game. Mortal Kombat X should have been 11 IMO though.

NoFanBoy939d ago

HLL seems a bit of a mess on console, I hope it improves but didn't have fun with the beta.

EvertonFC939d ago

Same was looking fwd to the beta but it was not a great experience

1nsomniac939d ago

Yea HLL is great on PC but is really hard to enjoy currently on console.

NeoGamer232939d ago

Ya, I really wanted to play PGA 2K21 but didn't want to pay the price.

Eonjay939d ago

Agreed. MKX should have been 11. I will play PGA though. Haven't played since Tiger Woods. This month feels lacking.

Ashunderfire86939d ago

I know right lol!!! Mortal Kombat X is free on PS5, but I understand PS4. Heck the PS4 version should be easy to get for just $20 or even less $10 dollars on ebay or selling stuff apps.

Profchaos939d ago

You can play it right now open beta is live and free

MKX was already in PS Plus Collection. This is the second time they've double dipped. Thank god the golf game lets u hit balls into the crowd.

BrainSyphoned939d ago

At least twice this year they have double dipped into PS Now games as well.

Christopher939d ago

Two separate services isn't double dipping. People do understand that, right? Subscribing to one or the other doesn't give you benefits to the other in any way.

jznrpg939d ago

Fine with me I don’t sub to PS now

ocelot07939d ago

You don't know PS Collection is not available to PS4 only owners right? Only way they can claim this is by buying a PS5 or logging into a PS5 and claiming them.

So am pretty sure a fair few of the 100+ million PS4 owners are thankful.

Knushwood Butt939d ago

Mortal Kombat X was never released in Japan so this is another one that won't be included in the lineup for Japan and will probably be swapped for some crap but I'll remain optimistic.

Silly gameAr939d ago

I'm pretty sure MK has never been on plus. In the US anyway.

Not sure what PS Now has to do with PS Plus.

Profchaos939d ago

Lee carvello: may I suggest a putter
You have chosen driver.

CorndogBurglar939d ago

You win for your Simpsons reference.

BLow939d ago

And like clockwork, you always have some complaining. Happy Gaming

Ozzy2407939d ago

Only PS5 owners get the PS plus collection which majority of playstation owners don't have

TheExecutioner939d ago (Edited 939d ago )

Not every one have ps+ collection

When u will stop thinking like a child

Knushwood Butt938d ago

Update

Japan gets Castlevania Requiem instead of MKX

Not crap then!

kneon939d ago

3 games I won't play even when they are free

lipton101934d ago

Really? They’re all legit good games

kneon934d ago

I've never liked those kinds of fighting games so mortal combat is out. Golf? I don't know why such a game even exists. the last time I played a golf game was on the Apple ][. And finally hell let loose looks like just another in the endless stream of ww2 shooters, I already have enough of those in my backlog that I will probably never play either

SurgicalMenace939d ago

You know when you actually buy your games you wouldn't be so ungrateful for the free ones. Just a thought.

LiViNgLeGaCY939d ago

This month just didn't appeal to ME personally. If it's a good a good month for others, hey more power to them. And please, I'm willing to bet I've bought more Playstation games than you have. Probably shouldn't make assumptions about people without really knowing them, just a thought.

SurgicalMenace938d ago

How much you willing to wager, sir? I've purchased just over 20 games this month alone. Have over 830 games in my digital library 250 on my shelf and that is only the PS4. We'll skip the PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, VITA, and PS5 just to keep it fair. Who's counting though?🤷🏾‍♂️

938d ago
LiViNgLeGaCY937d ago

Whatever you'd like. Since the PS1 days, my collection is in the thousands, just on Playstation alone. Pissing match aside, again, you shouldn't make comments in the future where you look stupid (ex. Telling someone you don't know that they don't buy games)

SurgicalMenace937d ago

Or perhaps, since you have such the healthy collection, stop whining about the charity. If they don't give it, then buy it.

Pocahontas933d ago

WhT do you do for a living to afford 20 games in one month

RedDevils939d ago

Shit games this month. Mortal Kombat X is already on PS+ Collection what the point of have it again. Throwing some indie and would be more happy.

Ozzy2407939d ago

Because the PS+Collection is only for PS5 owners which majority of playstation owners don't have

KyRo939d ago (Edited 939d ago )

Hell Let Loose looks great but it's not a casual game and a bit of a acquired taste. It's nice for people to dive in a d try it though. MKX is already on PS5 for free with the PS collection so that bad for PS5 owners and it was only two months ago everyone complained about a sports title being included as a game but yet they follow suit with another one 🤦🏻‍♂️

PS Plus started so well at the beginning of the year too.

SurgicalMenace939d ago

I never thought I'd see a day when people complain about what they get for free. Hey, there is another great alternative to settling for free games, BUYING what you want.

How much do you think a market leader is going to be willing to cut into their own pockets? How many games do you actually purchase or do you just wait for them to hit plus?

We actually are grown enough to know that we have to pay for greatness over here. You have an option to go to MS if you'd like as well. Otherwise, add it to your library, say thank you, and move on. How old are we here?🤔

KyRo939d ago (Edited 939d ago )

I've been subbed to PS plus since the very day it started when all we'd get is PS1 and minis on PS3. PS Plus as a service was always about the games. Now they've made it a requirement for online play you mistakingly think these games are the bonus. They're not. We pay for access to the games via the subscription. They're not free so before running your mouth and giving it the big one, please educate yourself before calling people out.

SurgicalMenace939d ago (Edited 939d ago )

Well sir, I too have been a PS+ member since it's inception and own well over 3,000 games on PS3, 1200 of PS4, and close to every game available on PS5. I speak from a supporting standpoint and I'm strongly against people who do more talking with their mouths than their wallets.

If you've not invested into the best experience possible, then why should your opinion be acknowledged? Plus is 70 dollars a year that equates to about $6 dollars a month....what do you expect to get, a choice?🤣

The day that beggers become choosers is the day that gaming dies. How many of the new releases have you purchased? If the answer is none, be happy with what is given. When you're playing the latest, you have little concern for the hand outs. Just a thought, champ.🤣

Kurt Russell939d ago

Personally I am looking forward to Hell Let Loose. I don't think I would have dived in with a purchase for that one, but I am dead curious to play it... I am hoping it is just the kind of MP I have been hoping for since R6S went doolally.

KyRo939d ago

Yeah it looks great for sure. I've watched a few people play it on PC and I'm interested to know it's transitioned to console.

outsider1624939d ago

Yesss!! Played HLL open beta and it was amazing. The immersiveness, the one bullet shot, you can't just go running around shooting like in CoD or Bf.

NoFanBoy939d ago

The beta has a low framerate, lag, loads of pop in textures, flickering shadows etc. It felt horrible to control and aim. If they could improve it then there potential.

Majin-vegeta939d ago

Thry are aware.They made a post yesterday

FPS_D3TH939d ago

It’s not really optimized too well on pc yet either. Lots of flickering
