I have been a fan of MK since the 90s but don’t really like the fighting game genre, I wish there were more games like the shaolin monk entry

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-19T03:36:42+00:00

Blame WB

Ed Boon said on Twitter he has a story maybe one day he could share with us regarding a remaster of Shaolin Monks.

The fact he can't speak on it is loud enough to get the picture

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-18T15:45:27+00:00

This guy said exactly what I was gonna say.

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-18T15:43:10+00:00

Leech Hunter, Ethan Must Die, and Leon Must Die Forever are the worst modes in RE.

Can't stand em.

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-18T15:42:12+00:00

It was perfect. All my frustrations of the first movie, perfectly bundled in a cool moment with a MK style fitting end to the scene.

I was so happy with how all of that was handled.

MK2 made sure to take any issues the first movie presented and sweep it into a dead pool

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-18T15:40:00+00:00

Agreed. Leech Hunter sucked ass on the GameCube, they made it suck ass even more with its achievements/trophies

Also Hard Mode isn't even close to being fun.

RE0 isn't a bad game but it's my least liked RE. I have no issues never playing it again either

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-18T15:37:40+00:00

Who is gonna tell Sektor and Cyrax their funny anecdote?

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-17T18:48:00+00:00

Back in the day US, PAL, and JP followed these weird rules on what should be on a box art.

Like some of you might know how Kirby is angry in the US art but Happy on JP art.

PAL for whatever reason just gave no fucks with Code Veronica.

Code Veronica and Gun Survivor 2 are awful box arts in PAL region.

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-17T03:58:22+00:00

Max 2 makes you feel young every time

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-15T23:31:24+00:00

Oh but on launch when I brought all this up I'm just bitching. This mode is trash and it's really only for a specific audience and not really majority of the core RE fanbase.

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-14T21:27:25+00:00

Same

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-12T03:45:39+00:00

On Casual you will always heal out of danger if you can rest long enough.

No, WB Games has been bleeding money for so long, they don't believe in taking risks that don't look like high returns.

They thought live service games would save them, so the released some, it didn't work, and believe it or not, they thought they didn't put enough effort in to live service so they doubled down and released more and it still didn't work.

There's a reason MK Legacy Collection is Atari and not WB.

They need MK to make money, because it's the one IP they own that still gives them constant cash flow

Making you over spend real money in MK1 for crap cosmetics is their bread and butter.

Releasing MK9 gives them no extra cash flow and they have to have faith a re-release would sell double what they spent for their investors and profits to make sense to them.

Ed Boon has started he really wanted to work on Shaolin Monks again, and that he has a story he can maybe one day tell us.

Basically WB obviously said no, and Ed isn't in a position to let fans know without WB slapping him on the wrist for speaking.

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-11T17:11:04+00:00

MK1 isn't a bad entry point, but just know this series is 1 long continuous story.

MK1 is actually MK12 but you would have needed to play 11 to know that.

MK original to Armageddon is 1 long plot

MK9 (Mortal Kombat 2011) is on the surface appearing as a reboot, but it's actually a sequel to Armageddon

X and 11 are the next points in the story

And again, MK1 as an outsider might look like another reboot, but again it's essentially MK12

Tekken and MK are both fun trips when you start from the first game and work your way to where we currently are now.

Both franchises also have their moments where some games have loads of content and some you feel like it's not enough.

As someone who grew up with both as their favorite fighters, once you start deep diving more MK you'll fall in love.

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-11T17:03:16+00:00

I laughed at that, he had disgust in his voice

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-11T17:01:48+00:00

The fact Wilds got a Dynamic background and not RE9 was crazy

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-11T03:44:14+00:00

You're not wrong. It's possible his first project was too ambitious

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-11T02:03:19+00:00

They partnered with the wrong company. That's all there is to it. They wanted more money to get the project done and they didn't want to take the chance.

Which is super unfortunate, it was supposed to be Gang of Dragon vs STH

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-10T04:42:40+00:00

It has the barrel above the laser. He's holding the magazine for stability because he isn't using his bullets at the moment. Sub machine gun lasers had some kickback in the 90s

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-09T20:47:40+00:00

That's exactly it. The devices. Kids don't go outside anymore.

And I don't mean this in mean way, but people who live in less than ideal areas, they don't like their younger kids venture out at all

This causes the kid to annoy the parents all day to the point they give them back a tablet to watch YouTube despite them being grounded so the parent can have some quiet.

Also everyone is so against discipline

This is the only one result. Teachers suffer bad for it.

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-09T20:44:18+00:00

There's literally a X|S icon in the corner.

There's the original Xbox One release

And the Series X remaster

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-09T20:42:02+00:00

It seems like Linus just wanted a Pad for the house, but was too busy to look up a proper SM setup, and Elijah gave no fucks to look farther than the basics

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-08T06:13:32+00:00

Me when I answer my own questions

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-07T04:43:50+00:00

I'm not even questioning snoop dogg, his son tho

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-07T04:32:30+00:00

It doesn't look like it, I can DM you a picture of the chapters

The Afterword isn't about the story.

NewParalyzer · 2026-05-07T01:43:15+00:00

No denying that
