But MK9 NEEDED to do more for the series, because as much as I hate to admit it, Mortal Kombat really started to wither away with the PS2 generation.

It made playing it for the first time so much better as you didn't know what to expect from characters like Shang Tsung or Sheeva who were not officially shown to the public let alone revealed. I also think it was more wise of NRS to have not spoiled the entire roster like they did with MKX using the Kombat Kasts.

#MORTAL KOMBAT 9 VS X SERIES#
I think MK9 in general did more for the series than MKX did. Story mode even surprised me.for retelling the events from MK1-UMK3 in one game they sure pulled it off nicely. All 33 characters were fleshed out nicely including unpopular ones like Stryker and Sheeva. It marked the first time seeing gory fatalities in HD, as well as introducing x-rays which did wonders for the gameplay. Still, like you, very satisfied with what they brought to the table.Ĭan't wait to see what they come up for the next game!ĬODE_umb87 Wrote:MK9 did the series a great favor by returning to it's 2D roots, which many people seem to forget. Yes, we wanted this character and that character, I personally was really hoping to see the return of classic fatalities. Very well stated! There have been so many MK's now that we come to the point where we're always going to be missing something, no matter how much they try to cram in there to satisfy everybody. And then with got amazing guest characters and DLC. I can't get over how hyped NRS got us with one character trailer at a time. I played every single character and variation and not a single one was disappointing.Īlso for comparison, the first MK I purchased was MK9 and I tried getting into it and learning it but it didn't grasp me like MKX did. Yes it didn't add everyone we all wanted but it didn't need to. I further enjoyed the stage interactions and maps presents as well, though I wish there was more.īut something crucially notable is the roster. I was more satisfied with the fluent and versatile game play presented. I was more invested and interested in the story, even if all characters didn't get fantastic treatment. Can't wait to see what they come up for the next game! Still, like you, very satisfied with what they brought to the table. Looking forward to it Very well stated!

ESPECIALLY WTH THE HYPE!!! I can't get over how hyped NRS got us with one character trailer at a time.
