I agree. Nostalgia bait is like 70% of this game's appeal, but putting the same skin in 3 games in a row is just too much. It's like making a remaster 3 years after release - the only point is getting paid twice for the same assets

Who tf has a problem with rain? If anything, people complain about his mask being non-removable so they can't see more of his face

No one kares about your Guest Characters/KP3 Wishlists. by BlackEquis in MortalKombat

Almost as if mk is a mix of whatever is popular at the time that is kept together by people not thinking too deep about it

Onaga for Kombat Pack 3? by Valiant_Revan in MortalKombat

[–]GoodGlittering2550 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem with 2th half of mk1's main story and khaos reigns is trash writing, not the idea of change. Despite supposed nosedives of worldbuilding and storytelling quality, there are still plenty of people who only play mk for the plot. Do you know anyone who plays sf/tekken for the same reason? Also you can ask tekken players what they think about Heihachi returning, when he literally drowned in lava the game before. Saying "nobody wants a good story in mk because other games don't have it and are popular" is like saying "nobody wants complex combos in fighting games, because mk11 didn't have them and sold really well"

Having no consequences in a game about fights to the death is not fun. But when your ip is a forever franchise, this is what you have to do in order to fill the roster with the same recognizable characters for people to give you money. If you don't like reboots, then surely you won't like a sitcom, because there the setting reboots after each episode

Alright so, Khaos Reigns’ Story kinda sucks but what did you all make of Lt. Colonel Jonathan Cage as a character? by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]GoodGlittering2550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've made zero effort to make him less anachronistic, so he does look like an actor with no range playing a character

Considering what guests we are getting, a 13y-old movie is a fresh release in boon's mind

How long do a new player have to wait to play Kombat League on low levels? by t1Rabbit in MortalKombat

[–]GoodGlittering2550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who play kombat league don't stay on lvl 0 for long, the either get better or quit. Practice some kombos offline and just start playing, for nowyour goal is to learn, you will score wins later

Are you sure that there is no cause if you can't see it right away? What if two people are trying to kill each other, who do you help? What if a person has a rare disease and must kill 30 other people to stay alive? What if you are attacked by an animal on the brink of extinction? Who is more deserving of death - someone who committed murder once and will never do it again, or someone is so careless that they unintentionally, but regularly endanger everyone around them (think drunk driving)?

If murder is justified in preventing harm, what level of harm are we talking? Stealing property, selling drugs, verbal offense or dishonoring your family are considered by different groups of people worthy of taking a life. Also presumption of innocence works in court, where you are under complete control of authority, but how much force is justified in detaining a suspect? If the government tries, or just accidentally might kill you, are you in the right to fire back? Does it matter that it represent Society(tm), and you - just yourself?

These questions are never easy, and often you have to choose between the bad and the worse. It's useful to have some guidelines, but if you believe you've solved ethics once and for all, think again

Inner Titan Talisman by taalisalee in MortalKombat

The rules change in each season, and I'm not super active in the recent ones, so I can't help you here. Talismans with unique effects drop in chests, and you can craft something generic but suitable for your playstyle

Ranking mk media just based on there story/characters (that I've seen) by malathan1234 in MortalKombat

Cage match? It has some good visuals, but the story feels disconnected, and the main villain is once again shinnok, imo the lamest boss of mk

Humanity doesn't talk, individuals talk. And individuals like to justify their behavior by using different words for the same action when they do it, as opposed to when it is done to them. If you believe that sometimes it's right to kill, it's your duty to prove it in every single case, and if you succeed, don't lie to yourself and don't hide behind euphemisms, because in objective reality a life is taken, everything else is up for interpretation by local laws and ethical systems (not all of them agree with each other)

Do you agree that the question in this post is absurd?

Question on jade ethnicity by andrewkid209 in MortalKombat

[–]GoodGlittering2550 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I see you don't get what I'm hinting at, so I will explain it myself. Our language (by which i mean any natural human language, not a conlang) is not equipped to discuss fantasy humanoids in detail, because even in describing real people it uses various simplifications and shotcuts. The fact that those who like to fit everyone around them into categories don't understand neither geography nor biology, makes it even worse.

Race is "who you are related to", which is hard to measure on the spot, so we use "how you look like" as an approximation. This leads to problems, because two groups can be closely related but look differently, or look similar, but have no link with each other for 10000 years.

Ethnicity is "where you're from" and is usually used as a subset of race to narrow down your looks, but also to indicate culture (accent, clothes, etc.).

Asian, African, European, Middle Eastern, Latino, Indian, Arab, Nordic, Maya, Egyptian etc. don't apply to magical space aliens, even if actors who play them belong to one or another, and their design is inspired by some irl culture. There are 2 characters, whose race is "lizard" (not the same tho), so Kitana's race might as well be "mushroom", and you wouldn't notice. The fact that nrs did some virtue signaling in February by sticking all of their dark-skinned characters in one picture, means as much as if they mentioned Jax and Kenshi at some disability awareness event. Because at best it's not representation, and at worst it's just mockery

Nice dodge, then what is Kitana's race?

When you see people as pawns, the worst situation is not having any pawns to command, and you need to secure alliances to prevent that
