The guy that sells Joe those costumes must think he is into some REALLY kinky shit.
You just don't buy a Rambo costume and then a tight red ninja outfit without raising some suspicions.
He did buy a huge dildo for Saints Row 3, so anything after that can't be that embarrassing.
Mago The Snowman hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
Haha right!
Mago The Snowman I think he's in the closet
Mago The Snowman
Must be a BDSM store in Austin.
they should make it so anytime you use a "bought" fatality, it says, "Paytality"
Matthew Shannon I tip my hat to this suggestion.
Matthew Shannon couldn't agree more
Matthew Shannon I highly doubt they'd want to name & shame people who willingly buy their useless crap. Still a good idea, though.
So is MK X better then MK 9
Matthew Shannon
Bought fatalities bring in salaries.
In case anyone didn't notice, this is Angry Joe's 100th Angry Review. One man has reviewed 100 games from 2008-2009 to 2015. Congratulations Joe and keep it up cause you ain't done fucked it up like some other reviewers.
AssassinsDen4 Agreed. Congrats Joe!
AssassinsDen4 Other Joe was also a part of it, stop thinking only joe is doing this.
Zabusy01 at first, Joe was doing reviews by himself so the credits go to him first but then again, we all love OtherJoe too and he IS Awesome.
AssassinsDen4 Thats really not that hard to do... if anything there should be way more given how long hes been around doing reviews. 8 years and only 100 review? Eh. Also Other Joe definitely deserves more credit and praise. Seems like a cool guy.
Congratulations 🎊
the WORST thing they did in this game was exclude my main man BARAKA from the character roster when its obvious that he could have been in it
shang tsung would b great in this game too
yroth1 hell yeah bro
my favourite Mortal combat game was Shallon Monks on the ps2 it actually ah FULL story with open levels am i right?
+MileHighGenisis78 yeah man I remember playing that game
If they should have BARAKA then they should have OBAMA as well

Aww, how cute, it's trying to make words!
ExileTwilight It is so obvious They need each other, no one would put up with angry joe like o.joe does.
ExileTwilight I assume angry Joe pays him at least something...
***** Console master race!
DLC I would pay for?
A Mortal Kombat movie skin for Raiden, voiced by Christopher Lambert.
Shut up and take my like.
Yes!!! All the yes I have.
TheMaroonShadow Just take my credit card good sir and charge away.
He forgot that getting the samurai pack gives u shinnok with out beating the game I'm not kidding I'm on takes as chapter and i bought the pack and got him
TheMaroonShadow THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE, FINISH THE OTHER ONE!
Call me Krazy but I actually miss the 'Chess Kombat' from Mortal Kombat Deception, that was so freaking fun
+LevelUpLifting IKR, i could put my pawn against a queen and have a shot at winning lol
Ye
Deception was the best IMO. Kicking your opponent into a giant meat grinder is sorely missed nowadays.
I miss the motor kombat racing from Mk Armageddon too 😂.
The only DLC I'd pay for in this game is if Corporate Commander was actually playable.

Joe I hope you'll pay other Joe enough cause THIS BABY OUTFIT goes waaaay beyond FRIENDSHIP!
Katojana Aleksielsis looooooooooooooooool
It really does, i was expecting other Joe to say exactly that at the end of the video xD
Katojana Aleksielsis They're brothers.
Katojana Aleksielsis Yes, I'm pretty sure they split the revenue of every video they make together.
Katojana Aleksielsis you know that is more than a friendship when you make him wear a baby outfit LOL

Awesome review, couldn't agree more!
Dude I love your videos
***** on of my favorite youtubers commenting on another of my favoites videos? damn right!
Dynasty!
dynasty!!
Yet you loved the game and played the shit out of it. Also got hyped for new dlc like ninja turtles and atom. You a big hypercrite
I honestly expected like a 6/7 honestly but I'm down with an 8. It's a good game just feels like something is missing. The net code is really bad aswell and the PC launch was absolutely terrible.
MrMadakey Was the netcode bad? Becuase I tried playing online on Xenoverse and that freaking netcode is a total trash. Was planning to buy this game for the online matches on PC. I have slow internet, like 2.5mbps.-.-
So basically, consoles wins again, get rekt "pc master race."
They're using an updated mk9 net code. They should probably be jumping on a brand new net code tbh like Street fighter 5 have. However as Scubbasan said. If you're thinking of buying this game on PC for online then rethink your buy option
MrMadakey The netcode for console has been fine for me so far. This is coming from an Australian by the way, and our internet sucks.
***** there has been tolerable but I don't know whether perfect or really good. Apparently the best netcode right now though is SF5 which is why I used it as an example.
Who here after MK 11 got announced?
Me.
I am, not going to be supid and preorder this time, the game is not even out yet and they already have 2 DLC characters, paid skins. I waited so long for Sheng tsung and he is PAID dlc. This time I'll wait for the discount complete edition with all the characters
I hope MK11 story improves and fixed the mistakes from MKX's shit story.
Nirdip
Playing it right now hahahaha
I miss the tag team mode. I used to play it all the time with my bro, I want that back.
Danny Nazar MK11 :)
@@lethalfumes hopefully
Same, tag team mode Its a great mode! Playing co-op with a friend or a sibling while making your way against waves of other fighters online are some of my favorite gaming memories of all time!
Lethal Fumes nope
I'm the 150 like
"PC has been patched since" Sorry Joe, it has had some patches, but none of them did anything. There's still an abundance of performance issues, and we still can't even play online yet... So for anybody wondering, no, don't buy the PC version just yet.
#pcmasterrace huh?
Mr6wolfgang9 'Are you inferring that Developer ignorance and lazy porting detracts from PC Gaming as a whole? PC is and always will be a superior platform to consoles (fact). It's not the platforms fault developers can't port a game over.
Joel Carberry I have the game and all my frineds can play online. His problems are basically isolated at this point.
well actually MKX has worked perfectly for me since day 1 release, there is only 1 thing that dosnt work for PC and thats Online mode which sucks but i still think its worth buying even right now, im still able to do all story and ladder stuff and play with all my friends without a single problem or bug
***** I still can't play on PC. If you go to Steam most other people can't either. I was really hoping Joe would be more upset about this considering PC users who bought the game literally can't play.
Haha agreed, every game should have a story mode, looking at you fucking Overwatch
Yeah don't even know why people like overwatch it's boring and really lacks content
heh, people play overwatch because it's fun, not because it should have a story (Although a story would be VERY interesting), overwatch is meant for gameplay, not story.
so you're saying something like world of tanks should have a story mode?
sounds like it
You know what BOT is? A BOT is a very smart A.I as smart online player if the severs shut down.
I'm really disappointed by the story, for exactly the same points you pointed, the weakest and newest characters of the universe are literally beating the crap out of every guy. It's a shame because I really loved the story mode they put in mk9, a shame really ...
Scyths1 yeh its weird playing as kotal kahn (emperor of outworld) and decking folk like kano, mileena and rain, just for kotal to get his ass kicked countless times afterwards by the new starts. The biggest fail was the MAIN BAD GUY corrupted shinnok getting his ass handed to him after 1 minute by cassie cage.
Jimmy Burt Gaming I like to think that the green aura-thing is the same power that Shao Kahn has, that this crazy hollywood guy somehow has the same power that made Shao Kahn the emperor of outworld...and then in the end of the story Cassie ends up having it too, so it's genetic, what kind of misterious past Johnny. It really adds to the story. Not that I have any basis for it though
Henrique de Carvalho i liked johnny being OP in this game, its great seeing him finally get some recognition. Its just insulting that a rookie character like cassie easily dominates some of the most powerful characters, whether it makes sense lore-wise or not.
Scyths1 DLC story add ons!!!
Scyths1 The story was not too bad... but the CONSISTENCY of the fighters was atrocious... especially at the end, when Jackie Briggs and Cassie Cage kick the ass of people who would normally wipe their asses with them.
Indeed the fact that the UberShinnok was defeated by Cassie was so lame... he's a fucking Elder God!
I woul understand if for example Raiden has done something to weaken Shinnok first, then yeah I would understand... but no... it makes no sense.
I want corporate commander to be a mk character
LordAustinKing Would have definitely been interesting to see how he played.
That completely unfair
Doesnt Warner bros own the rights to gi joe? They can technically add characters/ parodies of those characters in their game
@@morrays1996 yep 😥
korporate kommander is the true villain for MK11
I'm paying 60 dollars for a game and right out the gate you're hitting me with a whole bunch of DLC. Things that would make a 3 and half hour game a little bit more worth the purchase you charge me extra for after I pay the initial cost. Destiny was even worse. *As I'm picking up the game* they're telling me, "You can get the DLC coming out in a month at reduced price if you pay now." One, that means that content is already completed and you cut it out to charge me later; and two, gee thanks, soooo magnanimous of you to give me a discount on something that should be IN THE FUCKING GAME ALREADY! These people are scamming you. And the attitude of many seems to be it's no big deal. I will not support this absolute fuckery in any way shape or form. Thanks, I'll wait until it cost a fiver after laying in a bargain bin somewhere for a while. I will rip, torrent and download your shit Mr. Developer if you want to treat me like a complete fool and I will have no qualms about doing so.
Rudyard Pue More than of MK Dlc gives no advantage
$60? I just paid it for $99.95 and I just got it a week ago
I haven't purchased the game for the reasons I mentioned in my earlier post. I just assumed it was 60. The price being that high reinforces my original point even more so.
Rudyard Pue I remember the good ole days when developers put all this stuff in the game as unlockables for doing awesome shit. But now? "GIVE US YOUR FUCKING MONEY, YOU GAMING PEASENTS!!" I swear, about the only developers worth a damn anymore are Bethesda and ESPECIALLY Rockstar. At least RS releases everything on GTAV for FREE. Yeah, Bethesda released DLC for Skyrim, but JESUS the amount of content in Skyrim was already massive!
Jimanky (SGX) Not to mention the dlc in Skyrim was epic. I think it was worth the money especially dawn guard which was not only badass but also let your play it again from the other side for even more replay ability! I don't mind dlc, hell I love it. As long as it is A. ACTUALLY GOOD and B. Not thrown at you within a few months of release as bullshit content that should already be in the game. Also, I love bioware to They make great games and I know ME3 multiplayer had micro transactions but they didn't shove it in your face or demand you pay for stuff. plus it was actually good dlc. A fair price to play as a completely knew class and stuff!
i miss the time when games came out and thats it, no dlc, no updates, no problems, no extra payments, no preorder to get useless shit
sorry for my english
I agree. For the most part. Updates that fix bugs and glitches or add additional content are fine. Plus you're English is fine. Very minor mistakes but completely understandable.
sev sin Your English was spot on and I completely agree with your comment.
munky342 dude remember when games had like 4 or 5 developer companies and like 3 or 4 publishing companies working on them and getting them out to gamers. Back when they were fucking humble
munky342 Only reason I don't consider the bug and glitch fixes a great thing (although additional content is cool), is that back in the day, developers HAD to release the product fully working. Nowadays they crutch on the fact that they can do updates, that they release broken games, with the "promise" to fix them later, if they received enough complaints.
Crow Father That was a group of passionate Artists creating games because that is who they are as people.. Creators.. They would be creating regardless. Sadly Gaming industry is now bigger then the Music and Movie industries combined. Nearly any developer studio that could be bought up has been by investment firms.. The only games we have hope for is the Indie games with a small close knit passionate team...
This is what happens when you take artists and try to stuff them into a corporate box.
Does no one remember how broken it was to fight Shao Kahn in MK9? I do.
Roba Dope belly laser spam or hammer/javelin/shoulder dash spam, which is better? At least Shao Kahn made his spam differentiated...
Roba Dope shinok is far more easier then shao khan
Shao khan was not broken gamers just dont like challenges or should i say casual gamers dont like challenges
Roba Dope true shao khan wasn't even hard at all once u learned his pattern it was fun but shao khan have always been hard to beat since the arcade alot of people act like this is something new shinnok was a huge disappointment as a boss they hyped him up saying hes more powerful then shao khan only for him to lose to a teenage girl shao khan would have fucked cassie cage up
Roba Dope wait wait wait so someone new worked on mkx story
Game is fun but not cool with paywalls and cut content
I got the xl version so I got everything
+Trae is it worth getting it mkx is 13 bucks on psn not xl just mkx
+Lost In The World Of Drip OMGD i dont know let me check i just got it 5 minutes ago
+Lost In The World Of Drip OMGD 14 gigs
+Lost In The World Of Drip OMGD its gonna be 33.52GB in total
I wanted Raiden to finish Shinnock..
+manav bhalla do yall think we might get an updated cross platform version on pc? the new street fighter is gonna be cross platform, so maybe theyll fix this game on pc and try to compete.
+qujo123 I personally don't
+manav bhalla Shinnok can't be killed. He is immortal.
+manav bhalla I finnished him by crushing his balls and shooting him in the head, what a lame ass boss
That would've made more sense
100% honesty, MK9 was absolutely amazing. Don't think it will ever be topped.
+piercedmarine
IMO so far, THE BEST Mortal Kombat. The story was so freaken epic, characters looked and felt right in terms of power : D
+piercedmarine It was so unbalanced though.
+piercedmarine It had nostalgia points.
+piercedmarine Yeah mario kart 9 was great!
GameBossCenter Sad attempt at making a joke
I hate DLC the way it is now. DLC should happen as an additional opportunity to mine story or gameply elements not in the original game, or as a result of a game succeeding to the point that additional content helps keep the faithful playing. Microtransactions if not costume based and if not available on the cheap for an individual are also insulting. Bethesda does pretty good but even these add-ons were really short when you think about it. I think Dark Souls has had the most impressive thought out DLC that genuinely builds more into the world and expands the story. Its more like a Director's Cut of the game.
Super cool story, bro.
+Ryan Sizemore, so fuck Lemur Dawid's remark. I agree with your comment and appreciate it.
IccyTheOne There's no need to fuck my remark.
Fuzzy Duo Why are you so mean? Do you think I was being sarcastic in my original reply? Because I wasn't.
+Ryan Sizemore Also you should have added that the DLC must also not be content that already SHOULD have been in the game originally. Too many companies are doing this now.
Sadly many of the characters were DLC 😭
only 9 and half of them are guest characters
187 GlockShot get xl you get everything!
Trigger Happy just got the xl for 20$ Downlading now!
only 7 were not "most"...you're wrong
Jarkko Pitkanen Best MK ever. Except the crypt controlls is something out of a 1995 fps lol
Angry Joe is the only AAA game reviewer I trust!
I would compare Reviews from people like totalbiscuit or others and see if they all give the game a good review
Steve Rempel also go to worth a buy full legit
darkeagle I would ignore most of what that guy says.
Steve Rempel AJ & TotalBiscuit, I also trust Boogie's opinions but he doesn't do proper reviews for any games.
Philipp Puk Oh yeah, I like total biscuit too, but I usually watch his indie game reviews, and the content patch things.
Joe: 'Please say that the PC port isn't awful'
Ed Boon: 'OH NO NO NO IT'S AWESOME, JUST AS GOOD AS THE CONSOLE' *smiles menacingly at the camera*
Kenshi's second fatality on PC runs at least at -300 fps.
I like Kenshi, this is an issue.
Rick Phoenixxx It would've been a good port if they didn't do the streaming install thing for steam.
Austin Griffin it's beyond that though. FPS drops like mad during fatalities making most of them jitter, constant poor online connections/disconnects, some levels like the jungle run terribly. I can't really complain getting it for £15 though!
Light for a name like 'light' you are awfully dark. How mean of you, I have never cried so much after this comment. I will obey at once
mrbrainchild76
Because reasons?
Wow, paying to do fatalities? That's definitely pretty low for the franchise.
GekkanShounen They removed that option.
Microtransactions in a fighting game,facepalm
Richard Shiflett As they should. Still, it's unsettling they would try it in the first place.
GekkanShounen You never had to pay to pull off a fatality. You could always just memorize the button combos and pull it off normally, or you could use Easy Fatalities that you unlock from the Krypt. No purchase necessary.
GekkanShounen If you suck so bad you need to buy them i doubt you'll ever use them to begin with. So doesn't bother me. Not like most will anyways, since they don't affect gameplay.
Can't stop laughing when you mentioned Takeda's nice ass. LOL. XD
+Arnar Kristinsson that ass was flat and wack.
Flapjacks
+Bern Heisenberg lol
Genji's ass is the new Takeda Ass
....no
Baraka isn't in the game.....? :'(
JotaPe679 he kinda is just not playable
billy snap I know, but you know what i meant
JotaPe679 he is killed
T-Ray Jones spoilers
so is mileena, but you can still play her...
Alexander Spieß i didnt know Baraka had a strong following
NEVER Pre-order
NEVER Buy micro-transactions (unless there's no other way to support the game)
NEVER Buy games until they're properly reviews by at least three different reviewers you trust
Bloodstainer What if I only trust two reviewers? What if I do trust three+ reviewers but only two review it? WHAT THEN?!
***** Then go for Totalbiscuit, AngryJoe & Jim Sterling and stick with what they say, if neither of them reviewed the game check Reddit.
Neither should be used for when talking about two, none for more than two :X Also I was more so making a bit of humor, that seems to have gone over your head though :/ *sigh*
***** No it didn't, but for those who missed it I provided an answer.
Few people would take "? WHAT THEN?!" seriously xD
Worth A Buy is a great honest channel :P
Those micro transactions are the reason I didn't even buy the game. Also you fight against a character yet you cant play with, not even buy able? Yeah, that's what got me to NOT buy the game
You gamers are so petty and immature these days
***** About what? The fact we don't like how narrow-minded and greedy developers are?
That really has nothing to do with what this guy said michael. Gamers look for anything to bitch and complain about. Even when game developers go the extra mile to make a short story mode more interesting, they still get shit for it. Neatherrealm and rocksteady are probably the two companies that put their heart and soul into their games. But even that is not enough. Now the games can't have dlc even though they cost the sane as last gen games. I don't remember this being a problem when catwoman was pre order incentive for arkham city.
Even if developers have gotten more greedy. The gamer is the one who has is the most greedy
***** Im petty? I'm so sorry by the fact that it is 100% wrong to have a completely playable character you fight against in the story and not even have him be unlockable OR buy able just so you can buy MORE DLC down the line. I have no problem with DLC and I know why its there which is why im buying the Seasons Pass for Arkham Knight, but that is NOT right in a fighting game.
Alberto Trujillo Then enjoy no longer playing any games cause bad news...all the companies are switching to this model, or you could just stop complaining and just not buy the DLC or whatever as your not required to
BLAME IT ON THE WB
Kyle Broflovski Eyyyy gaming sins reference.

Having a story is cool. QuickTime Events were never, EVER cool though.

Morgan_Fucking_Freeman They were pretty cool in GOW.
Morgan_Fucking_Freeman *cough* God of War *cough*
Morgan_Fucking_Freeman Except they were fucking amazing in GOW and an integral part of the Shenmue games.
Flyguy 535 i love shyguy
We live in strange times when a fighting game gets points taken off for not having a detailed and long storyline ...
Amen.
SuperAuthenticGaming ya 4 hours in MKX compared to 7 in MK9, Jeez I really wonder why did that not surpassed the expectations.
SuperAuthenticGaming Yeah, we just want beat random people up for no reason! Your username contradicts yourself.
Hmm some pointless kids who have nothing better to do then play the same game with the same characters over and over to satisfy your childish minds, all games need a good story line that is what draws people to the game not the same fighters and arenas for 10 games in a row.
Amen
CASHALITY!!! I died :)
marabaggbast can't spell steal without EA, and can't spell steam without EA either
marabaggbastrest in pepperonies
marabaggbast i want the Corporate Commander DLC!
xbb1024 that cost about 59.99 USD, of course dont forget the extension pack and patches
13:30 Hahaha... OtherJoe does the Bird-Box challenge??? ROFL....😂😂😂😂😂
Mortal Kombat 11 they did it AGAIN pre-order and you get Shao Kahn , and Shao Kahn is already in the fucking game
Bird box challenge was pretty much inspired by Kenshi
Micro transactions and DLC are absolutely killing gaming. These gaming companies are so focused on wringing our wallets for every dollar that they can and in the process they forget to provide us with a complete product in the first place. What is the point of spending 60 dollars for a game if you're going to end up spending another 40 for what was already included on the disk. This shit is disgusting and I'm ready for this fucking trend to die. Corporate greed makes me sick, and it's ruining one of my favorite art forms.
DLC isnt bad but when it removes origional game pieces and puts it behind a paywall , then it becomes bad. But extra content after the game is released for some extra goodiness (its a word now) im a o k with that
sorry for the bad english
Daron P The only bad DLC for MKX was the Goro thing, all else is made after the fact.
And Shao Khan is not in this game so this game sucks
No more ripping people in half and ending the fight soaked in blood, shame
Those cameo characters that you actually fight have the exact same moveset in MK9 anyway. I doubt they'd get released as DLC.
Echo Sierra plus if you look at them, they all have just mixed movesets of other characters for the most part.
Echo Sierra yeah it's a pretty stupid point of him. They'd need to create 2 other variations plus brutalities.
Ed Boon has began teasing a story character pack, and before the first Kombat Pack was announced he said he wanted yo give us a chance yo vote on which NPC's become playable. Although the fact you play against them in story mode doesn't matter whatsoever, some NPC's and cameo characters will become playable in the future.
No one notices that Rain's water bubble in X allows him to move while you're trapped in it while in 9 you have to wait until it pops for him to be able to move. I mean, it's not a big change, but it IS different from 9.
Manuel Aponte I certainly wouldn't be averse to Kabal making a comeback. He is my favourite in MK9. I also saw a graph that shows each fighter from best to worst, with Kabal being the best.
I hope we get Character Customization again...someday...
Not a chance, unfortunately.
+Lemur Dawid how do you know
Ha2002 alsehail In this day and age it would take too much work to implement it.
Lemur Dawid The original was only made like five years ago.
poiuytrewq11422 9 years ago. You cannot compare making a game for PS2/XBOX to making a game on PS4/XBOX ONE.
I still think Mortal Kombat 9 is better. Bigger roster, better story, and I hate the re done character designs in MK X.
+Sanjid Khan Armageddon can ;)
+bob saget Cept Armageddon was an utterly terrible game.
+ThatNiggaGoku haha nice one
MKX has better fightning mechanics, though.
MKX has better fightning mechanics, though.
he makes a good point with the story. instead of fully explaining how some fighters were resurrected and returned to their mortal forms and why some were left in the netherrealm or perhaps just giving ore of the story to characters that we already love, they forced us to experience their story through the lense of a bunch of strangers we're supposed to care about because they remind us of their much more interesting parents, that btw is the most annoying thing about the new special forces squad, they're only copies of much more beloved characters, and also why were they sf that's just so boring!
Amiri Copeland yeah the story is mainly what I was on about
How is the game's speed? I found MK9 too slow for my taste. MKX looks faster, but looks can be deceiving.
allotheabove123 slower than mk9 mainly because the lack of dash cancel and the delay between dash out times. MKX is still a great fighting game in terms of balance.
Lithus17 What are you even referring to. MK is too slow for me. I much prefer 2D sprite based fighters like Persona 4 Arena and KoF13. Those games are fast as shit, which is why I like them so much.
MK has always felt sluggish by comparison.
llBboySmilesll Are you feeling alright? MKX is WAY faster paced than MK9.
It's still a bit stiff, but the moves are faster, smoother now with 60fps.. But it's not fast like killer instinct or street fighter, but it's much better than mk9. Very smooth but the style is why it feels slower, it's about button combos and stances etc. so it's mk9 with more moves, fluid, and faster than
Sat ten versions
Mark smith Are you forgetting sprint?
It just had too much DLCs for a fighting game.
I feel like in the Outworld Civil War, they could've had Mileena AT LEAST kill ONE of Kotal's followers, what did Reptile or Ferra/Torr even do? Also, it should've showed Mileena win at least one battle with D'vorah or Kotal just to even out the odds and make you question who will actually prevail. She's basically half Kitana, half Baraka. She should be one of the strongest characters in the entire franchise! Hell, we could have even had a chapter about her! I'm not even a die hard fan of Mileena. In MK9 I began to like her and in MKX she was AMAZING!
i love Baraka but he gets his ass kicked by everyone. I don't think he's won a single canonical fight. Being half Tarkatan is more of a detriment to Mileena than anything else.
+Mister Christmas I think that Baraka should have won at least 1 battle. To me, being half Tarkatan would increase your strength and half Edenian would increase your intelligence and agility
+Morbid he suffers from classic bad guy syndrome. He's supposed to be an extremely brutal and ferocious fighter and the strongest of the Tarkatans but the only times we ever see him he's getting his teeth kicked in. He's basically a jobber. But the main thing holding Mileena back (lore wise) is that she's unfocused, undisciplined, and unstable. She's probably stronger than Kitana but she's not sane enough to use that strength effectively.
+Mister Christmas Yeah, good point. I've never looked at it like that. It's such a shame that Baraka gets abused so much though, he deserves better
I felt the same exact way playing thru story mode...was legit pissed that Mileena got taken out so quickly and without a second thought, like she was unnamed fodder honestly. I may be a bit bias I suppose, as Mileena is my favorite female and one of my top 3 overall fav characters since she was introduced, but still, they didn't do her or any of Shao Kahn's remnants justice, at ALL. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for change and loved MKX like all the others, but Kotal Kahn is, to me, a cheap, poor man's Shao Kahn. Had Shao still behind around in full force, he'd have, with Mileena by his side, casually curb stomped Kotal while finishing with his infamous "YOU SUCK!" line haha.

Gaming With Gleez Classic Ermac is in, though.
True that lol
+Gaming With Gleez fffff
Goro is seriously the only thing a logical person would complain about.

Your fucking stupid
+chase brady *you're
Thisname Isnotfake SRSLY
Uh, different styles for characters isn't really an innovation, a lot of fighting games already do it, Guilty Gear XX AC, Melty Blood AACC, Phantom Breaker Extra and even SSB4, to name a few
Karl Schweinfurth It's not even innovative for the series itself. Armageddon did it too, but a lot of people seem to forget.
Oliver Munck HUSH, don't speak of that here...seriously though that was all IN fight that you changed styles. So if you chose Scorpion it was picking the two styles and weapon at the same time. In this you are picking before the fight, so they are effectively separate.
Oliver Munck actually the diferent martial arts thing started in deadly alliance
Except this is completely diferent than that, as the old styles onlqy changed a few combos around, not changing how the characters actually worked, same goes for those other mentioned games
None of those style changes actually fullya altered how a character plays
As the mk x variations do
Storm Revolution
Oliver Munck
yea but armageddon sucked
Please, don't ever mention Johnny's epic fail in that god awful movie. Never again. That doesn't count.
Johnny vs Motaro does.
Shala Until he died.
Shala Raiden didn't help in the original timeline he died and he already knew Shadow Kick he sucks. No he really wasn't keeping up. We aren't talking about his GayHalo because he can't just use that in every fight XD.
SmittyWerben YeagermenJenson ok i just found out
but even though he died he straight up came back
BECAUSE HE'S JOHNNY CAGE!
lol
Shala
Agreed. I didn't need to be reminded of his death. Johnny was one of my favorite MK Characters! 😭 MKA " Done fucked it up " 😡😭
Joe your mortal kombat outfit looks like its meant to be used in the bedroom ..

I could wear them as pajamas if they were made of a different clothing material.
"You and your friends show much promise, Cassandra Cage. But until you function as one, you will fall short"- Sub-Zero
Now imagine how cool it would have been if the fights were more than just one-on-one and you could use TAG TEAM FINISHERS! If the good guys could actually work together then at least make sense when they cut through the bad guys roster like cheese. Hell D'Vorah had to save Cassandra from Tanya in Chapter 6, and you expect me to believe Cassandra could beat Corrupted Shinok at the end of the game? Bullshit.
Only 1% of people played it tho it wasn't played by enough people
8iG Z3k3 What are you talking about?
Thats MKX for you, every character that is not playable turns suddenly into a jobber
Like Quan Chi
brainflash1 exactly, Tanya was pounding the crap outta cassie for fun lol seems weird that she could take shinnok but no Tanya.
Joe, Tanya, Sindel, Baraka and Rain all don't have their "full movesets". Rather, 3 of them just have the mk9 movesets and if you look at anyone who made it from 9 to X, all of their attacks have been completely changed, been removed, and have been completely reanimated. Sindel, Baraka and Rain don't even have variations.
Tanya has virtually no original moves, but rather, placeholders stolen from Kitana and Mileena while she's still being worked on.
Just an FYI because a lot of people on the outside looking in would probably appreciate the information that these characters are not done and are not ready to be playable.
I wonder what is The next fighting game to come out after MK X
But why did they redesigned rain if hes not gonna be playable thats stupid to me
Berkay Shady He could be a future DLC, but the thing is, boon wanted some surprises in the story. And honestly, it worked. Not only have I seen passionate fighting game fanatics mark out on these sudden fights and cameos, my first time playing through story with a friend had me and them go crazy at catching these familiar faces and fighting them was even more of a shocker.
It was fun and pleased an unpredictability itch plaguing fighting games. At least to me and others.
PAYTALITY!!!
Am I the only one who fucking hates the Krypt now? I don't want jumpscares in my fucking fighting game...
jumpscares were in mortal kombat 9's krypt too...
Terrell Yarbrough
And that doesn't change what I said. I don't like the Krypt cuz of jumpscares. lol
+ljaquos I am sure you are the one!
That's what I think MKX jumpscares are worst though because even though you don't know when the MK9 jumpscares are gonna happen, it's spiders in MKX
Jacob Salas
Yep. Fuck spiders.
Wow, I guess we learned that Joe doesn't know too much about MK's cannon story...
For example: Quan Chi is a summoner, he has little to know physical skill, just magic abilities. While the Cage family powers is far more than just that dumbass kick. Sonya probably gained power from Cage after some "warm embraces." Hell Takeda was trained by Scorpion and the douche bag archer is a cousin of Kung Lao I wonder how they could ever be so powerful...
Flourikum what did Sonya do now? Derp. His daughter had that power (passed down). Sonya never displayed that power in the game.
Canon and what not, the Johnny Cage green-goo power is a retarded gimmicky addition just to conveniently make up for the arbitrary shit that was Johnny Cage.
Whether this was done in MKX or the comics or the canon lore makes no difference, it is still convenient and gimmicky and ultimately crappy.
DCF - HazardReborn Oh, you mean the power that Johnny's had forever and that got hyped up super-hard in Johnny's arcade ending in MK9?
That turning out to be as strong as it was implied to be is super-gimmicky?
Flourikum Even if that were the case, it doesn't make for a good or interesting storyline. Setting up the villain as this all powerful god only for Cassie to almost effortlessly kick his ass makes him feel like, well, a bitch.
Brad Montague "almost effortlessly"
Not sure what game you were watching, but that didn't appear effortless to me. In fact, that version of Shinnok's moveset is quite broken, so Cassie is basically implied to have won by outfighting him, not by raw power.
One thing I loved about this game was the chance to finally use finishers on that bitch, Goro
Yea
spikeharusame You could do finshers on Goro in MK9
***** No, no you really couldn't
Hey now goro is awesome
***** Oh my God, Quitalities are the funniest shit to see. It's satisfying as hell to see one from someone who thinks all hope is lost and just gets the fuck out.
I didn't care so much about the story since I didn't play it so much in MK9. But I absolutely love the fighting mechanics in this game. They feel amazingly solid and fluent.
It took you 6 hours to beat MK9's story mode? How horrible are you at fighting games? It took me over just over 4 hours to beat the last one and I'm not great at fighting games either (though not that horrible).
Sektor and Cyrax are both dead (Sub-zero says this), Smoke is still a revenant, Sonya is antagonistic towards Johnny Cage because she kept choosing her job over her family (Johnny says this), also considering they want to expand the characters and rosters I don't think they need to flesh out characters that were fleshed out in the previous game (especially when they're mind-controlled through the whole thing).
The reason Sindel is a lot weaker is because she used to have Shang Tsung's soul and Shao Kahn powering her, now she doesn't.
The Outworld civil war ended quickly because Milleena wasn't well liked amongst what little followers she did have (and they were very little). I doubt there was one that was genuine as everyone who followed her that has dialogue was just in it for personal gain.
Quan-chi is much weaker than at first because he was using Shinnok as a power source, when Shinnok is sealed away he's far weaker (again, the characters say this).
The Elder Gods never do shit, that's pretty consistent throughout the series, it also shows what great integrity you have Joe when you remove a conversation they have with Erron Black, and only edit the start and ends of the conversation together to make it look like it didn't happen.
I guess Joe didn't see the fucking beginning of the game when they expand on Johnny's ability (and mention it after the fact several times).
lich109 He totally said 6 hours, kappa
lich109 THANK YOU!
I wish the entire internet can be like you.
Thanks to you, I don't have to write that. :D
lich109 Thank you so much for explaining this to that idiot. I hate when people complain about micro transactions, either you buy it or you don't. What's the big deal? They're for people who actually want it. Like it just really annoys me when people waste time and complain about it. Like that Joe idiot. Story mode was fun and it felt just right when it comes to time. We don't really need to see too, too many old faces, leave some for the next game lol. And I like spending extra money for a game that I love and want to keep supporting so they can make a new one. Or keep improving on the current one. I feel like people don't understand all the problems people have. This game is simply amazing.
Lol where do they get all these suits they use to make the video?
Hugo Joubert Halloween store XD
Hugo Joubert online
Hugo Joubert they meet a guy who makes them in a van down by a river
Hugo Joubert Thats an odd fetish you have there.
***** It's really not though.
I guess I'll wait a Komplete edition like they did with mk9 with all the stuff included
bartoman2 That's what I did, got it dirt cheap from amazon, if mk x comes out on ps3, i'll do that again
Hopefully they DO make one.
GameRazor247 yeah, I hope, otherwise I'll keep playing MK9 Komplete xD I ain't gonna buy this cash-grab..."press X to give us more money", cmon...
GameRazor247 They made one for both MK9 and for Injustice. They're not stupid. A Komplete Edition is a good way to get more buys out of an older release.
CrualBirab - Me too.
Perfect Review, Thanks Joe!
Yep!
TotalMK Except he said that $5 Goro doesn't have an alternate costume. But he has a Kintaro one
King Kula kintaro is supposed to be a completely separate character I thought
Is Goro already in the disk?? Well, that remembers me something... *COFF COFF Destiny! COFF COFF*
Alessandro Parri you mean *cough*
yeah that's quite the same i'm italian man so sorry
yes
I can speak man. And sorry if I haven't the Whole day to write all the games in which DLCs are locked off. I thought one would be enough to understand what I meant. Evidently it isn't enough for you.
you mean koff coz this is mortal kombat
many people shit on EA and ubisoft for being the worst and greediest of companies but Warner Bros gaming division embraces the worst aspects of gaming. 1st there was the broken mess that was batman ark origins that they refused to patch and now this bullshit with mkx. Also batman has a 40$ season pass and shadow of mordor had some unethical review policies when first released.
IJustLostweight they all need money bro
DasVicks64 lol they are already fucking rich bro....
lParoXismel so we think
DasVicks64 if fucking pewdiepie networth is 12millions.....they are making billions
lParoXismel Pewdiepie isn't rich LMAO, do you even know how game companies or youtubers work!?
Now I kinda want a character who can do a "Cashality".
If you skip all the cutscenes, use your 3 match skips and can fight really well, the story is 50 minutes.
+Damian Wayne If u skip the cutscenes, there is no story....
I love Damian Wayne
Lol, true
+Damian Wayne 50 MINUTES??!!!!! *Slow Motion
Good ol' Angry Joe in slow motion
Kenshi is actually one of my favourite characters.
Yeah. Mine too.
He's like the MK version of Daredevil.
Paradox Acres Don't forget about Snake Eyes too. :(
Santouryu3 Yeah, I guess he's kinda like Snake Eyes, too. Snake Eyes doesn't have telekinetic abilities, though.
Hello. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Kenshi fans unite
Hello. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) unfortunate he got stuck in traffic
For anyone who is interested, music at the end is Orbital - Halcyon On and On
Maria Ferguson I always forget the name. Literally the most 90's song ever made.
Maria Ferguson that song brings back wonderful childhood memories. :]
i bought the soundtrack to the movie back when it first came out. i was like 11 or 12 years old or some such shit.... i would put that shit in my portable CD player and put on some headphones and do kung fu in my yard, feeling like a fuckin badass, up until the point where the CD would skip from all my flailing about and then i'd get pissed off that my track just got interrupted. ahhhh good old nostalgia....
Big Boss
dude! i know, i would do the same. i remember trying to do flips and shit, jumping off the couches, trying to run up walls haha. so tight.
Thank you
Did u even notice that there wasn't any mortal Kombat (tournament) in the story
Wiw
Did you play mk9 story
+Trae no. But I know that has mortal Kombat in it. This though!
Yeah that was part of he Mortal Kombat Story that was repeated multiple times, it wouldn't hurt to focus on something new than just the Tournament
AJ even said that the story was less focused on the tournament haha so you didn't play mk9 OR listen to a thing in this video
Lol how many characters does Steve Blum voice in this game? I'm counting three already.
tachikoma747 Sub zero bo rai cho and
tachikoma747 Everyone knows Steve Blum voices everyone in everything!
tachikoma747 spike is in the game ? lol
cameron vitton reptile
Roger Smith is in the game?
I agree on the "good" characters being stupidly OP. Sonya and Johnny should never be able to beat Skorpion and Sub-Zero.
***** He may be Superhuman like Skorpion and Sub-Zero but he wasn't trained since he was a child for combat like they were.
Sonya Blade was the strongest character in the first Mortal Kombat.
+Robin Vancuren lol what? bullshit
+Yang Chen Makes sense I suppose. Probably something the lore writers never thought of though.
yeah one character in a fighting game should never be able to beat another. great balance
Umm.. Joe... Mk9 had a 4 hour story as well.
dontdisthafet42 I was thinking the same thing! He must have really really sucked at fighting games when MK9 came out
Joe said in his MK9 review that it took him 9 hours. Took me roughly the same time as well.
dontdisthafet42 that Shao Kahn tho
***** true...
FOOUUR HOOUURS?!
I miss Test Your Sight
I miss all mini games on this game
Sorry for a late replay but I miss motor kombat, test your sight, test your strike chess kombat Fujin Baraka sindel and more fighters kinda like mk armageon
i miss the boobs.
+Genaro Siles RIGHT BRO! A&B CUP BITCHES SMH..
I'm so glad the big boobs are gone. That is what I really didn't like about MK9. Well, that and lag.
What happened to the micro in micro-transaction? Goro costs nearly 10% of the cost of the full game; thats not micro in the slightest.
HammerOfDan No one said goro was micro. The easy fatalities are micro
Jimmy Burt Gaming They both cost 5 bucks.
Pink Boomer goro is a permanent purchase, the easy fatalities have limited uses before you need to buy more
Jimmy Burt Gaming Whatever or not it's permanent doesn't matter if it's a microtransaction or not. Microtransaction was meant to be small DLCs you purchase for around 0.1-5 dollars. They can be useable dlc that have limited uses or permanent DLC.
HammerOfDan It is compared to a lot of games with microtransactions that can go up to and beyond £80.
I want that blue steel Subzero but I don't play sSub at all so there's no point of me getting it. Bought MKX Premium on PC for a more than reasonable price despite the critique and bugs it was a game I was waiting for. I do agree the micro transactions and on disc dlc is bullshit.
***** It stands for Downloadable Content but yes ever single game has it so people need to calm down that you need to buy Goro if they didn't pre-order it
Alessandro Umbrello No, there's a fine line between good and bad DLC. Charging $5 for one character that's on the disk already because you didn't want to buy the game before it came out is ridiculous. The $20 krypt unlocks and $5 easy fatalities are stupid, but they don't affect anything. The one worrying thing though is what Joe claimed about them making Koins more scarce to incentivize that $20 unlock.
SylxTV the worst disc dlc ive experienced was NFS wanted (the updated version not the amazing old one)
Just imagine if Most Wanted 2005 would be made today (BMW M3 is paid dlc and you only have access to 8 cars)
im pretty sure i ran into more paid dlc cars than anything within the first "boss" race and even when i got to that i was like fuck this game...
What's the song in the end of the review, before the blooper reel?

Dumbass, he said he knows who she is
Noobs bitch
I don't really see the problem with there being easy fatalities. To my knowledge, they don't actually affect anything in the game.
Exactly lol
DCoreB But the announcer should have said "EASY FATALITY!".. Then it would have been worthwhile..
DCoreB The problem is that if enough fanboys and new players, who are too lazy to do fatalities the normal way(which isn't even that hard), buy these easy fatality microtransactions, then WB will do it again in the next game. In fact, easy fatalities shouldn't be there, I'm tired of certain mechanics & features being added in fighters, solely for the purpose of catering to new players, like those easy fatalities, and the loser's energy bar going up quicker jut because he's getting his ass kicked.
IAmTheMikko
It *will* affect our gameplay experience in other games in the future. If WB gets away with it, other companies will do the same. Next thing you know, we'll have to pay to use X-Rays & Fatalities.
If you use easily fatalities, odds are you will struggle to meet the requirement to use them. Lol
The only problem about mk is that it's get boring after a while
only noobs get bored at fighting games
thepaystation thats the problem with games peroid most of them get boring after awhile.
Ben Wilson I still play tekken 5 & street fighter alpha 3 & MK: Deception. Not bored yet
thepaystation I play Battletoads for NES and that game is still hard as fuck, and very fun to play! These new games on "next generation" systems are way too easy. Halo series i know for a fact are very hard playing it the right way or suitable difficulties for your pick. you new gamers (not all) have no game, cheat when you cant succeed and Suck like always.
thepaystation Maybe for you. I still have a blast with it.
🎉🎊🎉🎊CONGRATS JOE ON YOUR 100TH ANGRY REVIEW, YOU'RE THE BEST🎊🎉🎊🎉
21:00
Joe passing from his pretend-Ermac laugh to genuine laugh never gets old.
I'll wait a few years for a complete edition at $5. I'm in no rush to play the MK games. I preferred Soul Caliber 2 mostly.
Broke nigga shit
Mr6wolfgang9 Saving money is being broke now.
Wait 3-4 years to save 30 dollars... Bruh
MyNameIsLeroyJenkins Not on pc just wait 6 or 7 months and it will be $5.
Good idea, buy a game after the freshness and hype is gone.
Am I the only one who didn't give a shit that there were non-playable cameo fights in the story mode? I found it somehow refreshing and just a fun spectacle to behold.
Also, I'm not surprised Quan Chi is a little bitch in actual fights. He's a sorceror first. Also, about the Elder Gods: they're shitters. They don't know shit about how to handle anything.
***** Those non-playable cameo characters will just end up being sold as DLC later on. They're clearly Disk Locked Content, their character models are already there, and characters like Rain & Baraka, have their special moves. So you *should* give shit, because if you paid $60 for the game, then WB will try to get more money out of you and others, charging for these other characters, so you'd be paying $20 extra for content that's already on the disk.
TheGameKeeper94 Nope. Most of NPC's are just a copy paste from MK9.. So, NOPE
TheGameKeeper94 Honestly, I wouldn't WANT them as DLC, dude. I'm content with them simply being cameos. If they do become, like, $20 DLC, that's a problem.
***** They clearly *will* become DLC, there's no other reason why NeatherRealms bothered to make their character models, new ones btw, and characters like Baraka & Rain, already have their special moves.
Too bad, DLC everywhere, DLC DLC DLC DLC!!! Stealing money from our pockets!
30 seconds in and I can already tell i'm gonna like this one
Patterrz Hi Patterrz love the mini mo's
Crazy that this game and review are 5 years old. I still remember being hyped as hell for its release
Still be the best fighting game to date.
'Hi costume store? Yeah i need a red ninja costume, a spy suit, and some adult size diapers... hello?'
Bet your shopping history is a fun one to look through without context
Those "pointless cameos" made a lot of fans excited 😂
Yenard for nothing when they found out those characters are not coming back
It made me really mad. I wanted to PLAY as those guys.
I just miss noob and night wolf although I thought story and gameplay was great
Story had flaws gameplay was great but story pissed me off
I miss Nightwolf too. Though I play as Ferra/Torr mostly. I am sick of people just playing Scorpion and Sub Zero though.
And I want Rain back.
Rain is at least in the story and likely to be DLC and don't bitch about DLC.
Le Narf Dragon johnny is basically noob now.
Hikaru The Mega Lanturn Actually, we should all bitch about DLC as much as possible. If we don't they'll continue buttfucking us with DLC and exclusives.
Dear past AJ and OJ it gets so much worse
Signed: the future of gaming in 2019
mortal Kombat 11 sucks
What Mortal Kombat X needs...
1. Tag Team Kombat.
2. A story which actually explains what happened after MK9. E.g... Cyber Sub-Zero
3. CPU vs CPU
4. A balanced online match making system that doesn't put noobs vs pros.
5. A Krypt that isn't intentionally terrible to entice people to pay $20 to get rid of it.
6. No characters held hostage by pre-order rubbish.
7. Replace the lame skins like Mummy Ermac with cool skins
8. The old MK classic games should be unlockable. (NOT DLC)
9. Characters functional in the story should be playable. Rain, Baraka and Tanya.
For you trophy/achievement guys. Nothing that requires 200 hours of mindless grinding.
Kenshi's my favorite character and I still found the lost in the street bit funny.
Zoj63 Same here as well, and what angered me was the fact that he had no chapter in the story line while the others did, despite the fact that he had a good voice actor playing him.
You know what would have been awesome to the story. Maybe if they had where you can choose which side to fight on Raiden, Shinnok, or Kotal. That way you have different endings and more characters get some much needed spotlight.
Yeah I would've loved that
On a unrelated note the new fire emblem lets you choose which side you want to fight for if you're interested in it
menacingwarlock89 On an unrelated note the new fire emblem will split the story in two discs so that you'll have to buy it twice to have the full experience.
On an unrelated note in only packs da llamas
I love how you closed your rant with the classic MK1 movie ending song. That song brings back memories, I feel some type of way when I think of that song. Maybe I just feel like I'm 10 years old again watching the first movie all over again.
I agree with the majority of your points in this review, other than the bit about wanting more characters instead of variations. If NetherRealm pumped out more and more characters, we'd end up buried in a sea of half-assed creations like the motion suit guy from MK: Deadly Alliance, or Meat from MK: Armageddon again. Quality over quantity is probably what NetherRealm is going for in terms of characters.
Xaventer Laventos
Exactly. If there's one thing Armageddon showed is that there's a difference between having a good roster and shoving damn near every character you've ever made in a game.
I think games like Armageddon spoiled some people because now their expectations for roster size in fighting games these days are just unbelievable and unrealistic.
Mokap is awesome
*****
Of course not.
Xaventer Laventos Joe most likely means returning characters, not new ones. There are many fan favorites that got excluded.
*****
That's true. But anyone who's actually informed on how fighting games work would know that not everyone from the last game would return. Sequels have cuts all the time. Especially all the characters have new models. It sucks, but once the roster gets to having around at least 25 characters, it's virtually unavoidable.
I mentioned the toro thing in Jeremy jahn's review, everyone was over their heels trying to justify it. Doesn't matter even if he is a bad fighter, or even IF it wasn't on the disk, development time and money was spent on him before launch, it's gameplay content, he should be available. Same with ME3 prothean, same with street fighters and their bs.
You do realize when a game goes gold(usually two months before the game is out) that the game is finished. Sealed and ship to stores. For the next two months until release you just want them to sit there? Goro was made after the game went gold.
Source?
SuperCasperman according to all of the internet (ign, escapist, gamefaqs etc just google), goro was announced over 7 months before release, in other words in october, and mkX went gold some time in mid march. your argument is invalid.
JollyManProductions Announced doesn't mean completed.
TotalMetalJacket but there's gameplay footage of him before the game was gold, which means he was definitely made before the game's completion
Chapters seem missing because Netherealm is releasing story DLC -.-
No they arent. Ed Boon is just doing his usual twitter trolls.
Lil Wang Nice wang you have there ;)
AeonsOfBlight You realize that there's a comic for Mortal Kombat X that shows the events that happened between MK9 and MKX right? That's why the story mode in MKX is short.
That's actually really unlikely
How?
And then it just got worst from here
Strangely, the characters like Sindel or Frost aren't even DLC.
Oh and you know, to play an MK game with more than 60 characters, you can play Armaggedon.
