Jesus Christ, did Megan Fox call and leave all her lines as a voice mail recording? I refuse to believe a director listened to any of these one take wonders and was like "yup, got it, that's the line reading we wanted". At least Rousey knew how to emote, this is so dire.

PostNouveau posted:Only had time to play the tutorial invasion, but already very doubtful I'm going to like it nearly as much as the Towers of Time. Those were such great single player content, and this seems like it's going to have way less replayability. Going back to this, I think invasion is way better than towers of time cause theres way more variety and a goal in beating the areas buttttt if you are crazy about towers, one of the invasion mesas forever is just actually towers of times, bunch of randomized towers that change every hour/day/etc. So its still in the game, just part of invasion

It's old hat at this point but I am still lolling at the Tarkatan retcon though. "So basically, Baraka, from my POV your people are basically a literal disease." God drat, Liu Kang. God drat. EDIT: Well it's not a retcon per se. What do you call a canon in-universe retcon?

Having played through the story mode I am very much on the fence about everything to do with MK1, which is very much how I've always felt about MK since MK2.

Was watching AF0xyGrampa earlier and lol that Ashrah can throw into a combo using Scorpion as a kameo.

Watched a video of the fatalities and there are some really cracking ones but I think it hits home how tired I am of seeing "so and so has all their limbs chopped off and then their head" fatalities. So while stuff like Kenshi's fatalities and Ashrah's with the weird light chain were underwhelming, the Baraka fatality that ends with a barbeque is fantastic, same for Liu Kang's black hole and Geras' time loop. I also appreciated that some of them were call-backs like Reptile ripping your head off with his tongue or Kitana's deadly kiss and of course the kameo fatalities being all old-school was super cool. Yay gore!

The story is so freaking stupid that you kind of have to love it. When all the characters are practically winking at the camera as they say the titles of the previous MK games in all their dialogue you can’t help but laugh.

I think I will make Li Mei my Li Mein. She's got a decent projectile, good air control with lantern, all right pressure with her 12 string, a very good DP, and a few ways to hit overhead to open people up to her low combo starter. Her generic B&B from neutral gets 36% for one bar of meter, in MK11 you'd have to sell your soul for that kind of damage. Kind of stubby range but it doesn't matter for the first week of kombat when nobody's blocking. It's unfortunate that her characterization is kind of boring but what can ya do.

Yeah I really liked the story, it felt like a classic martial arts movie, which is the intention I think. I don't think it was meant to break hearts or change minds etc.

There's a lot of pre-fight banter talking about Raiden having a sister. She'll probably be a character at some point, but I wonder if she'll be a new character or another reimagined old character.

Someone in charge of fatalities in 11 must have been obsessed with eyeballs, and it got pretty old for me.

I've been loving the kameo fatalities because they're short and too the point. The classics are classic for a reason. Scorpions gang war is great too. His default unlocked fatality is too reminiscent of NRS post mk9 excesses with a bunch of unnecessary mutilation. For the kameos i think they've all been very strong. Sub, Sonya, Kano, Goro, Jax, Cyrax, and scorpion have been my favorite. (i love that they have the collapsing burned skeleton pose used in sonyas but specifically made kameo Scorps toasty fatality the exploding body one with all the extra bones!!)

Ultimate nitpick but I cant stand the beige life/EX bars. I wouldn't pay for it, but it would be cool if you could unlock the klassic UI elements from previous games. Watching some vids earlier, and I'm still a bit uneasy at all the juggling and how easy it is to get bounced, plus the involvement of kameos to further extend combos. I still think I'm gonna get the game next week. Can anyone recommend any tips or reading material for someone who hasn't played the last 2 games?

Well I completed the invasion. Eh. I’m not sure how often I’ll dip into this aspect. I kinda liked 11’s setup better. It’s a nice idea to condense all the towers and seasonal stuff and unlocks into one single mode but it ends up feeling a little too repetitive and long in the tooth. I miss having a krypt to bepop around in and I’d prefer to just be selective about what towers and unlocks I want.

The thing that annoys me the most about invasions is that most of the battles are just one round. You can’t even get into a good groove!
