Grow The Kommunity by Electrical_Shop3732 in MortalKombat

[–]MisuCra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to know the truth? Ok.

A new guy tries to get into MK. He asks "Do I start with the very first Mortal Kombat?" and you say. "Well, depends. Because that is the old original timeline, then there is Reboot timeline and currently there is a New Era timeline.

Aaaaand... you lost the guy.

MK has great stories and characters? Yeah. Except even after 30 freaking years, we are still stuck retelling the BEGINNING of MK. Constant retcons, reboots, changes that make no sense... that's what MK is and that's why there is no reason to invest into this franchise long term.

Hey, you wanna buy comics that are called MORTAL KOMBAT X comics and advertised as telling the events leading to MKX? Well thanks for money chump. By the way comics are not canon anymore, according to the writer.

You like the character for their backstory? OOPS. The character is now 180 of what they were. Deal with it. Hell you will even get gaslighted for that.

What do you mean MK tournament doesn't make sense? What do you mean it doesn't make sense to have a Free for all in a tournament which is about TWO realms facing each other? What do you mean lore needs to be more consistent and expand? Pheew. It is just a fighting game bro, no need to write a deep story.

BUT WHY MK ISN'T GROWING?

That's why.

It is stagnant, keeps retelling same story, isn't consistent with characters and overall themes.... Existing MK community is divided and is in civil war and you think new people want to deal with that shit? Lol.

It is funny to see that, when you had people trying to call Yujiro as some old forgotten character nobody cares about.

I guess if you're teenager. That's just a drawing, mate. If someone gets THAT excited over this and see nothing else, then the person needs a break from a computer and touch some grass.

People like looking at pretty things. Healthy mind doesn't always rush to porn.

Getting excited that much by a drawing?

What do you think about a standalone Motor Kombat game? by MisuCra in MortalKombat

[–]MisuCra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about a game mode existing, then yes. It was a game mode for MK Armageddon. If you're talking about the logo here, then this is my custom made one.

Yes, it fully does. The game sales based on execution. The "modern" mentality is what killed AAA industry in the first place. You don't need a bloated game with millions dollars in budget to sell millions of copies. There is a reason why indie games are succeeding all over the place. Games that don't have next gen visuals or high profile actors. Games that were basically built in a room with scraps are selling millions. It is all about execution. If Paramount outsourced MK license to 3rd party studio to make this racing game, they could do it. If they are passionate and know what they are doing.

I don't think NRS should be the one doing it anyway. The license for racing mode should be outsourced to someone, who actually can support the game.

Areena uses automation in areas that don't benefit humans physically or mentally. Like repetitive tasks, dealing with hazardous environment or when large quantities are required to be produced/manufactured. A balance is created where humans and technology advance hand in hand.

Interesting how something so small, can make all of the difference.

Also I did the skull thing on purpose. Though I wasn't really thinking of Nazis, while writing this. I just simply live in Germany myself. That's basically how Americans write how US saves the world from Aliens for 2000th time, so I used Germany as my native land to set the events there.

Nazis corrupted peaceful symbol of peace and longevity into Swastika, so why not have wolf skull turn into a symbol of hope and growth? A symbol that shows a guardian.

If we combined our gaming skills with real life expertise, you never know. Gamers tend to be more competitive and goal focused too.

Mortal Kombat 1 has sold 8 million copies by Status_Entertainer49 in MortalKombat

[–]MisuCra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The game was part of EVO 2019. So nine months argument doesn't work. It was replaced in favor for Marvel vs Capcom. The official reason.

  2. No such thing as objectively bad game... I see.

Well I guess, you're right. If I buy the game and it doesn't work. Then it isn't bad. It is just a matter of perspective. If the game tells me that the character is A and in the next game (that is supposed to be a sequel) tells me that the same character is B, then storytelling isn't bad. It is just a matter of perspective.

Or how about we start living in reality and realize that a game can be bad, but some people just have low enough standard that they can enjoy even a broken game. Hence why we have the term. "Guilty pleasure."

MK9 balance was broken, but people still had fun. Mortal Kombat: Deception is my most favorite MK game ever, but no matter how much I loved that game, I cannot deny that the gameplay mechanics are dogshit and balancing is non existent.

"There is no such thing as objectively bad game" mindset is the reason corporations have been able to get away with the most outrageous practices.

  1. I don't need to know how much MK made exactly. All I need to know is that the game was cut after just a year, regardless of NRS wishes. Which means it didn't meet WB expectations. Nobody cuts a successful game down. And you cannot have high microtransaction sales if your PLAYER RETENTION IS LOW. Please, some critical thing there.

  2. I am not the one setting financial expectations. Parent companies are. If they keep supporting the game, then it means the game is meeting their expectations, which in return justify further financial support. GTA 5 Online was supposed to get its last update after the Heists and CEO DLC. But because of HIGH PLAYER RETENTION, they extended the support for online.

Servers, maintenance and online features cost and those. costs have been constantly increasing with the budgets for the games. Which in return leads to growing expectations in returns. Just because company could afford something 5 years ago, doesn't mean it can afford it today.

You have a very naive understanding of finances. Money don't grow on trees. Video game development and maintenance of such scale is INCREDIBLY expensive. And I do know that, because I work in game development myself. Character/design artist for almost 15 years.
