You know, people just don't give this game a fair shake.
>>12143990It's dogshit. Watch MrGstar's playthrough of it for lulz though.
It's really not very good.As someone who liked MK back then, even we knew it was bad.
>>12143990I did. It really is that bad. The controls are slippery and the hit detection just feels off. You die more from the environment than from normal enemies and bosses. The turning mechanic was awful at the time and I didn’t get used to it until guilty gear isuka came out. It’s like if they took mortal kombat and turned it into a platformer.
This game was shit but I suffered through it anyway as a little child just so I could watch the cutscenes.
>>12143990The PS1 version is the way to play, if you're playing it. The bullshit is so obnoxious however I recommend you emulate it and save state though it. Those FMVs are golden.
>>12143990It would have saved the dreamcast
what's worse, this or Special Forces?
>>12145602SF is just boring.
>>12145639can't be any worse than T. Hawk Teaches Typing
>>12143990Shill spamming for the MK Collection, so not engage with this thread
>>12145694Everything WB and Digital Eclipse have done is basically anti-PR so it all evens out
>>12145694you just engaged tho???
>>12145602mythologies is a kusoge if you have the right kind of autism. special forces is just pointless
MK is overrated as a fighting game to begin with, MK Chronicles looks like dogshit by comparison.Fighting game sucjed until Tekken 3 thobeit
>>12143990I did, and I still liked it. I wish we had more experimental takes on MK rather than stuffing movie characters as guests into the latest outings.
>>12146403I wouldnt mind guests that fit in with the kung fu /ninja exploitation genre but shit like Terminator or Predator simply dont belong.Ninja Turtles would be fine though.
>>12143990I played it a lot as a kid and really liked some things about it, but making every level a maze and adding in a bunch of environmental deaths just got annoying. Most levels weren't too bad but like the earth level sucked for environmental deaths because you just had to guess where it was safe to go or not.
In my whole street back in the '90s, only one kid ever finished this game, and he said he played it for almost 50 hours. He said he almost had a heart attack (at 12!) trying to understand what to do at the final boss. For anyone who doesn't know, Shinnok is slowly approaching you and he has a barrier in front of him. You have to wait for his amulet to shine and trade hits with him by using your freezing blast. Then you have to turn around, run through the portal, grab Shinnok's amulet, turn around and go out through the portal. All that in less than 4 seconds.I've finished it 2 years ago, but took me too many tries to count. I didn't use save states, but it took me 2 or 3 weeks to finally get a winning run.What's really difficult for anyone used to beat-em-ups is that the normal enemies don't just eat your attacks, most of them will block the first attack if you don't bait them into doing something first. The mazelike levels don't help either.
>>12146421MK has both cyborgs and monsters in it though. In fact Kano was literally based on a scene from Terminator where his skin is torn showing the cyber eye beneath.The ones I don't think fit are the superhero characters, at least something like Predator ties into like "edgy 80s-90s nostalgia" even if not inherently martial arts, but superheroes don't fit well to me, but of course that's because of WB owning them and the Injustice connection so whatever, I just don't really care about guest characters anyway
>>12146394Anyone who types or speaks like you, should and will never be listened to for advice.
>>12146859Not retro but>Injustice 2 guest characters>Get saddled with Raiden & Sub-Zero>Next MK gets Robocop & Spawn, which are comic book characters>Next MK gets Homelander and Omniman, both comic characters.Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>12146814As a child i had a crush on Shinnok. I used to do his head popping fatality on Sonya and Tanya over and over cause it'd give me a boner.
>>12147446Same, except I would draw pictures of me and Shinnok kissing and cuddling together in one of his giant skull hands.
I have no strong opinions on Shinnok, I'm just glad he can bring us all together like this.
>>12147446>>12148628homosexuals are dysgenic
>>12149954you can't say that
>>12147049Well who the fuck were they supposed to put in, Yo Noid?
