Are some of these comments from fighting game fans or MK exclusive fighting game fans? Some of the critiques that are directed toward MK1 could be applied to most fighting games on the market. Every fighting game has pricey character DLC, and if you can wait for a month you can get it usually on sale. Character DLC keeps people coming back to the game and is just a part of all fighting games period. Tekken, SF, Soul calibur, GG strive, King of fighters, heck even super smash bros has character dlc. The monetization of skins is ridiculous though.
MK1 gameplay is leaps and bounds better than MK11. I think the negativity surrounding MK1 gameplay is around kameos and percieved difficulty using them but if you spent more than 20 minutes in practice mode you would realize its not that hard and that the kameo system creates super interesting gameplay.
And the people complaining about single player content, fair enough if you didn't like the story but there is a lot of content to churn through if you want. The references to SF6 world tour mode is a bit laughable, the only interesting part of the mode is the cutscenes and the rest of it is incredibly boring, BUT the gameplay and online is amazing! Fighting games are meant to be played online and once casual MK fans realize this they will enjoy and appreciate the gameplay a lot more.
@nessisonett Its pretty insane though that Daedelic was trusted with such a massive IP so I think having semi high/normal expectations is reasonable given the huge pre-existing fan base. HOWEVER, there were so many reports in the past couple of years of Gollum being a complete dumpster fire so I will say I don't get why people are surprised that it flopped so hard. And hey to be fair to dice, that Shrek game was awesome lol. That was back in the days when video game adaptions of movies were actually pretty good.
I held off buying Cyberpunk in the black Friday PS store sale for this exact reason. Looking forward to buying this complete edition on sale in the future with all of the content. I have a large backlog to work through right now anyways so I don't mind waiting.
Horrid selection… I thought after the poor selection last month they would at least make up for it with 1 well reviewed game. At this point I would prefer solid indies (cup head, deaths door, hades) over these C tier online/sim/sports games that they have been offering lately.
This is why people need to stop buying games day 1. Big publishers, especially EA, listen to one thing, money. We as consumers need to stop putting blind faith in games and do our own research so that we are spending our money on a quality product and not getting burned. I watched multiple review videos about the BF2042 beta test which pointed out some serious flaws so I didn’t buy it. In today’s time with game journalists, youtubers, metacritic, etc… releasing deep dive reviews and review scores on the first day of release, if not before, there’s so many options to inform your purchase, I don’t think there’s much of an excuse now.
I wonder if the studio will continue with god of war after the norse saga or do something entirely different. I'm not sure what other mythology Kratos would fit in organically without coming off as Assasin's Creed-ish. If Kratos returned to greek/roman mythology with the new style of gameplay that would be AWESOME.
I don't really understand all the fuss. Sure it's disappointing for playstation fans but it has always been like this to a certain degree. If you want to play smash bros you need to buy a nintendo switch, Halo - xbox, God of war, horizon - playstation. I have had to buy an xbox to play xbox games sell it and then buy playstation to play playstation games. Theres always a way to make it work even on a tight budget. I would be happy that a company like xbox bought bethesda instead of google or amazon. Xbox offers budget series s and constant game pass deals. It probably would cost the exact same to buy a series S and load up on gamepass then buying each big bethesda game individually.

Re: God of War's Norse Story Won't Be a Trilogy Because the Games Take Too Long to Make
Maybe they could just do a reboot of the greek mythology ark.
Re: God of War's Norse Story Won't Be a Trilogy Because the Games Take Too Long to Make
@RenanKJ I would love it if they figured out a way to go back to greek mythology
