On top of that when the time merger happens current raiden is wiped from existence, proving that kronika has the power to remove raiden from the timeline, yet the next 3+ hours of the "story" revolve around kronika convincing other villians to work with her because all of a sudden she needs their help to summon the "immense power" to remove raiden from the timeline, despite already having done so single handedly once before.
Within the first hour of the game we have a scene where kronika messes up time, moving characters throughout time to help her yet for some reason she also moves the "good" guys who will inevitably fight against her, no reason is ever given for this and it isnt even mentioned but an all powerful being with free control over time decides to bring her own worst enemies in their peak conditions to the perfect point in time to stop her. Kronika has the power over time itself, as we see she can reverse time, resurrect the dead, freely move people and even entire locations to different points in time at her whim yet for some reason she doesnt revive shinnok after raiden beheads him, nor does she bring shinnok from a point in time before his beheading to help her, she could technically do both of these and have 2 shinnoks, but instead there isnt even one playing a role in this game because reasons. The game opens with shinnok telling raiden that elder gods "cannot" be killed, yet an entire plot point is that cetrion kills the other elder gods to complete her betrayal and help kronika. The story would've been more coherent and consistent if it was written at a toddlers daycare group. Sincerely an MK & fighter fan for decades.
If Johnny Cage isn't able to get his iconic shirt off skin in the next MK game I dont know if I'll either be more mad or disappointed. NR, please stop releasing your games in broken conditions, stop pushing bad MTX into your game and quit removing costumes for female fighters as well as male if you suddenly begin doing that. Very underwhelming game with too many issues surrounding it.
So removing variation and additional customization just hurts the games replay value. Why not just have both? I mean we play to unlock new skins. Hurting continuity in game design as well as film creative direction is something I never like seeing. The removal of traditional outfits for the women fighters especially sucks as a mega fan. Real shame because I love MK but the developer is changing and becoming more hostile towards its fans. We complained about this in For Honor with its atrocious P2P connectivity. Its annoying to have matches end sporadically because of quitters.Ĭome on, NR. Just let the fighter remain in game without player control. Stop ending the match if a player leaves. This is an old one but its still annoying. Calling us non-fans, no matter if I own almost all MK games. Developer comments on criticism haven't helped either.
The male fighters got everything and more so NR is just dumbing down the game and removing variation in custome design. I really like that we play and progress unlocking new skins More customization the better.īroken grind unlocking the costumes Annoying microtransactions A skin that you unlock in game is on the store anyway -_- Really NR? Traditional attractive outfits for female characters have been removed and reworked. Usual good combat stuff Crypts have a good concept on paper.
