@@killervader I have a really hard time choosing a favorite, and I know this will be a super unpopular take, but my top three (in no particular order) are MK1, MK Trilogy, and MK Armageddon. My bottom two are definitely MKvsDC and MK4. The rest are great too, but that'd be my answer.
Just completed the MK1 story.....IMHO, it was absolutely AMAZING!!! I LOVED IT!! Great Job NRS!!!!! It just keeps getting better!!! As a Raiden main since the original MK1, you guys did great with him in this one!
Had 4 days off of work and did nothing but play this game the whole 4 days. Beat both the story and the whole invasions mode. Great game. Excited to see what else they give us next season.
This game surpassed even my highest expectations! It's absolutely PERFECT. Story, gameplay, characters, stages, roster, EVERYTHING WAS DONE PERFECTLY. This game has the BEST Mortal Kombat story of all time! Mortal Kombat 1 has officially become my favorite fighting game ever. 1000000/10, can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us next.
the online has some connection issues, invasion mode is kinda dull, theres a little less customisation than in mk11 and the gameplay has a couple small kinks that are effectively bugs. its extremely good, but its not perfect.
Been playing MK since 1992 until now and here I am 39 years old have seen how this game grown. I’m loving this new timeline and brought back some of the ones from the 3D era.
@@thompsontroy083 indeed, people are divided about the end chapter of the story but I thought it was wild and just what I'd expect from MK😅. The mishmash characters were a call back to Armageddon and how u could create a fighter. The thing I like about it is you'll always get different wacky mix-up characters every playthrough.
@@DonYoGi8331 that ending did take me back to the Armageddon days when everyone was going at it trying to get up the pyramid lol. That game was fun with all the characters and I use to create some crazy looking characters 😆
I'm really loving the New Era! The characters have been done soo much justice, story-wise and design-wise! The stages look amazing as well! NRS outdid themselves with this game!
Everything is gorgeous thanks to all for giving us this absolute masterpiece ! Netherealm studio , Edboon and Warner Bros did a fantastic job thanks for listening to your fan ❤ ITS HAS BEGUN
Seeing such a great game with SF6 and now such a great game with MK1 I can only hope my favourite T8 will deliver too, us FGC are eating GOOD in this span of a year lads!
Thank you for everything NRS. I’m sure I speak for a good amount of people when I say this game has brought so much excitement and joy to me, again thank you for everything.
It so refereshing to see Liu Kang is finally the poster boy of MK. It a long overdue. He finally get the respect he deserve. John Tobias will be proud 💪
This is the most beautiful a major fighting game has looked. Netherrealm has really been pushing Mortal Kombat toward a more human, grounded tone, which really clashes with the extreme kitschy, over-the-top goriness because MK has to be MK. They're definitely aware of the friction, it's almost like two different studios are working on the game.
The fact that MK is still living up until this generation. This gives me chills. I first played MK as a child in an arcade where you insert token lol makes me feel so old now. Idk if I die, I think MK will still thrive. Long live to Mortal Kombat 👊
Such a fire intro and that ost for it is so beautiful yet kinda moody and dark, fucking legendary!! I need an extended version of that ps5 menu music!! ✌🏾👑🔥💯
Story mode is great, but lots of people are unhappy with how little kontent is in the game compared to MK11. Especially in comparison to Street Fighter 6.
I hope Liu Kang reign’s for many years in this new era. The original timeline ended with Armageddon and Shao Khan winning, The rebooted timeline ended with Liu Kang defeating Shang Tsung and gaining control over the hour glass and restarting to the very beginning, I look forward to seeing how this third timeline turns out and the next games that are yet to be announced in the upcoming years.
Shao kahn didn't win Armageddon it was another dude who become an demi god I don't remember his name just magically for reboot sake somehow Raiden and shao kahn got in the top of the tower in mk 9
Love history mode, that ending proposing more new lore from the liu kang timeline with mileena khan, the lin kuei and shiray riu differences leaded by bi-han and kua liang and the new past history from baraka and reptile to fight for good. Very well from the boxing bags
My parents played MK2 on sega mega drive. I was a 6 years old when grab the controller for my dad 😂 My childhood hero liu kang, i play all mk games. I really crying when see him dead in deadly alliance. And now my hero is a God makes me cry. Time flies too fast. #RESPECTMK AND #THANKYOU

Warner Bros and Nether Realm Studios are complete cheats. The premium edition of this game on PC costs $110 and it runs like shit on PC no matter how powerful your rig is. Of course in the future they will come up with a patch and fix it, but on launch and up until now, this game stutters like hell on PC. Every time you perform a fatality, fatal blow or there's a cutscene, the game switches to 30fps automatically. These gaming companies have become absolutely shameless and I will definitely pirate their products in the future for sure. If you guys can't deliver a product and charge a premium price for it, then you deserve to be mocked. I'm surprised these companies haven't been sued for putting out unfinished products.

How much do you want to bet that everyone in this new universe will just revert back to their old ways and storylines? It would be so refreshing if this “new” timeline stayed original.

Goddamn Lord Liu Kang, aint that the truth 🚬
Damn right
Honestly the switch from it consistently being Raiden as demigod/defender of earthrealm is refreshing. Not to mention Liu Kang really suits the role
They also keep their personalities
Can someone explain to me
Will Raiden gain his powers as a god?
