Almost Amazing!
28 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
So like i say in the title this game is almost amazing. I'll start with the story. The story i really did love, could of been longer but they length it was was still fine, love how it continues on from MKX (as expected) but i was happily surprised to find out that it wasn't just going to be VS Kitana and Liu Kang Like how MKX ended, Was great to see the new characters, Even better to see some MK9 ones back!! Sad to see other characters gone, but all in all i really did enjoy the story, there's really nothing about it i didn't like. Gameplay: The Gameplay is great as always, like a few of the changes made, such as Offensive and Defensive metter bar, I don't know how i feel about the X-rays being changed, i mean i like that its only at the end and you can only do 1 but i feel that the fact that X-rays got split into "Fatal Blow" and "Crushing Blows" kinda takes away some of its new ages galorey that 9 and X had with its greyed out background and i though the reason why it was called and X-Ray was cause it showed more than just the outer layer of skin and yeah it still dose that but "Crushing blow?" it just doesn't seem right. I don't mind that its a slower game and tbh i didn't really notice at first till i realize i could 'run'. but that it for that gameplay, still love it. Customisation: When playing MKX i thought back to armageddon and though how amazing would it be if mk11 brought back Kreate-a-fighter, It almost did! started seeing trailers for mk11 and i couldn't help but wonder , just trying to imagine all the ways you could do it in this day 'n' age, what i got wasn't what i hoped for but still great!! the variations on mkx were the best idea to keep things fresh and the fact that you can make your own is amazing, not being able to just have every move it the roaster was a good move and the gear just make it that much better. Now i do love the idea of skins but... now hear me out on this one... alot of them i feel are kinda 'off' like for example that fact that Sub-Zero can wear Red... and Jade wearing blue i mean it is cool and what now but i just feel that all that random coloured skins could of been better, once again use sub-zero for example instead of the red skins and orange skins that could've used a skin from a previous game X,9, Decp, mk3, same with scorpion, i just feel that those skin slots could have been better used on different skins not just a pallet swap, but that's just me . On the note of customising your character i didn't think that unlocking all the gear pieces and skins etc wasn't gonna be so.. slow? for lack of a different word, but being in the krypt is great! kinda reminds me of shaolin monks lol DLC: God damn i really they dont do they same thing that did with X with all the other characters, i mean i think i saw somewhere that they were popular idk but that fact that (Alien,Predator,Jason & LeatherFace) were all in X was i mean yeah 9 had freddy and/or kratos but 4? Especially when other characters in the story were not playable such as Rain, Fujin, Sereena, Baraka and Frost, normal smoke, night wolf etc, speaking of which once again cyrax and sektor? not playable, idk if its cause the just gonna use them as dlc instead being better and put new people in that you haven't seen yet or just forget about them like mkx,but i just think actual mk character deserve to be in the roster more than others, But yeah i hope if they do to a none MK character i do hope it's only 1 or two, Lastly Character Design: I do Like a lot of the new models, but i feel a lot of there outfits were better in MKX and even some models like Kano etc, most of they faces and expressions are just amazing! but the clothing, and what not like i get MKX was a lot darker (which is one of the things i love about it) but still could of made it a bit less.. i don't know, cheery.. lol prime example (Kano,-Normal Kitana,Jax and a few more. They did the same thing with zelda twilight princess, dark seems more detailed the next up was skyward sword and it went back to looking cartoony, just seems abit like a step backwards i guess but don't get me wrong i still love it all haha,

I know it must not seem like it but all in all i really to love the new installment looking forward to see what else is to come, and just while i here just incase sees this MK 12 Would be that much more Spectacular if 1 you brought back kreate a fighter and 2 for it to have along the same size roster as armageddon, like everyone that's been in the series, i know those are 2 very big things that probably wouldn't be in the same game since, you'd wanna make sure you had a lot to customize and the added every character would just be a crazy big game but just thought to mention haha Mortal kombat has been my favourite fighter game series since god know when lol

and if some actually did read all this well damn, Thanks for your patience :)
