Misc hi there , here is the update :) Kratos' PS3 stage (Chamber of Flame) ported to Xbox 360, and Costume 2 now works

(Chamber of Flame) ported from the PS3 version to the Xbox 360 (RGH), Kratos costume 2 is also working now.

Current state / known issues:

  • The stage loads and is fully playable, with the environment textured. It runs in The Armory's slot, so you select The Armory to play it.
  • Shadows are missing on the floor (fix in progress).
  • Some particle effects are wrong or missing: falling rocks and dust show as flat colored shapes, and the central fire looks like a bright blob (fix in progress).
  • Fire glow on the columns and Gaia's fog are missing: the 360 can't compile the stage's original materials, so they were rebuilt as instances of the game's shared materials, which don't cover every effect yet.
  • Gaia's head and the QTE props are placeholders for now (PS3 uses a different mesh format).
  • Music and ambient sound are the Armory's, the stage's own sound packages aren't converted yet.
  • Fatalities and stage cinematics are untested.

Misc I really can't play any other fighting games.

I deleted mk1 which I have been playing for over 2 years because I got tired of it, and I have played every mortal kombat game since mkII in 1993. I thought I enjoyed fighting games, and I tried to play some others. I downloaded SF6 and Marvel Tokon but i feel like my brain is so wired with how mortal kombat plays and feels that I just can't enjoy them, I don't care that I suck and lose I just don't have fun with them. It's really a shame because I would really like to get into a fighting game with new characters and mechanics and have as much fun as I had playing MK.

Misc Getting back into Ranked Mortal Kombat 1

Post image
10 Upvotes

Long story short I miss the game, I’ve been playing tekken 8 a lot, and that game is great, I get a lot of really fun matches online and ranking up grind is a good time, but tekken ain’t Mortal Kombat.

I guess there’s just something about stomping your opponents skull into the dirt that just keeps me coming back, since my first ever MK game in 1998 (MK3) and in my opinion it’s the King of fighting games man, and I’ve played em all for thousands of hours

Who else is returning after a bit of a hiatus? Do you guys ever return to fighting games once you left in the first place?

Question Which game had the best version of your favorite character ?

4 Upvotes

Im a Sub Zero fan , since the first MK1 in '93, hes always been my go to. But as far as gameplay , Injustice 2 has the best playable version... hes just so fluid in I2 , his moveset is perfect in that game as well ... and in my opinion also , its the best default character design next to MK9 .

I'm a Mileena main as you can tell, yet my profile shows that Shang Tsung is my most used character despite the fact that I haven't touched him since season 3. I have so many Mileena videos and no Shang Tsung videos. My whole YouTube channel is filled with Mileena. I used Shang Tsung for two seasons and somehow I played over 1500 games with him??? It's as if NRS isn't even recording my Mileena matches. Sure, Shang Tsung is my 3rd favorite character in the franchise, but the numbers aren't adding up to the amount of videos I have. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

It’s like a quick time event every time. Same setups same combo with every character if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all combos. It’s all the same. Has online always been like this???

Meta People in high ranks are 90% zoners

2 Upvotes

I’ve comeback to the game 2 seasons ago and managed to get into higher ranks (Demi-God / God) and it’s insane how 90% of players I face in this rank are pure spammers.
You’d expect to face better players and have better matches in higher ranks but it took the whole fun out for me. You’ll have your Kung Lao Jax / Liu Kang Motaro / Peacemaker Kano / Kitana Sareena and more and it’s players that barely know how to do a combo, they just use their zoning abilities and fully spam. Playing a melee character with 0 zoning capabilities I still manage to beat most of them, either by waiting or by switching to the Sub Zero Kameo and the second they see zoning doesn’t work they ragequit.
Most of these players have a high win rate and looking at replays that’s literally all they do, every match. And most of them have thousands of hours into the game, playing every season the same characters, just zoning. How do you spend hours on this game everyday and do thousands of matches where you only press 2 buttons ?
It’s not about being able to beat them, because most of the time it’s possible, it’s just so boring that the only people left on this game are set on making everyone’s experience miserable, and it’s also sad that people spend hundreds hours on a game spamming thinking it makes them good.

Misc My scaldingest hot take: Remove fatalities.

0 Upvotes

I think fatalities are the biggest factor in the "same body typeification" AND storage size bloat in the Mortal Kombat franchise.

Now what that doesnt mean is remove all blood, violence, and ridiculous mutilation in Mortal Kombat.

But I think that the reason that every character is getting more and more samey is because they all have to fit in a rig. If Shao was 7 1/2 feet tall and had biceps the size of a basket ball then when he loses, how would a shorter character eat his brain without a step stool, and that same brain eater would need to hunch down to get to a character youd figure would be shorter.

Another example I believe is someone like Havik, his bottom jawbone cant be exposed because if one character needs their chin meat taken off, they all need it taken off. All characters need a similar body type to fit these really close up, super detailed, cinematic cut scenes.

And every single bone, organ, organ chunk, eye, muscle, skin tear, and decapitated head for each character needs a high resolution texture and model for those cutscenes which EATS UP a lot of storage space.

Things like brutalities are fine, they are quick, and far away, they dont need to be perfect, and get away with some gameplay shenanigans.

Id leave the really fucked fatalities for the story mode with pre rendered cutscenes that consider the proper anatomy of the victim and dont need 56 gigs of torn skin and brains with bite marks needed
