      I'm sorry but you were too nice, idk if you get paid by NRS or get invited to their events but my biggest problem is that it does not feel like a fully developed game but an incomplete rushed mess and I will not praise these companies for mediocrity and handing us garbage that just shows them they can make any game and people will love it which is sadly what is happening with this game.

    I thought I was done with MK1. I beat the Baraka/Cyrax thing into the ground. Got to God, but couldn't seem to get to Eldergod. I was starting to lose interest, and went to Tekken 8 as my primary videogame. Then I discovered Ashrah/Janet, started nailing a bunch of 50% combos that I discovered without the combo tutorials built into the game, and completely rediscovered a new love for MK1.

    While I find it fun to play, it does feel lacking in single player content compared to SF6 or T8. Also characters while fun, feel way to restricted.
