    Sad:

    -No tag battle. Was really cool feature esp. in Story Mod. -Menu with combos. Pls do not put "spell+block" after each spell it really hurts and makes list unintuitive. With Tremor its really get wild. Makes me still use papper to write them to know how many I have. -Story- I dont agree with your way of humanizing heroes of the game thats originaly is all about ripping    Sad:

    -Story-

    I dont agree with your way of humanizing heroes of the game thats originaly is all about ripping each other apart. I did not came here to watch B-movie about generations issues.
    In the same time you did a lot better in MKX Comix. Idk why now this is so generic and boring.
    I know WB is a evil corp. but they still should understand that this game is not for kids, who need stories about them being "chosen" ones and savers of universe. All new not-kids character (Aron, Dvora, Cotal, Fera/Thor) are quite awesome tbh, but 4 kids are trash.
    I guess young KungLao now has competitors on the post of most annoying idiot.

    Maybe something wrong with me and I talk about charaster development in fighting game, but thats what it all about - its better to not have a personality to your fighter than to have whinny kid.
    And pls.
    Can we at least not have LOVESTORIES that just come out of nowhere (Black chick and Asian emoboy)

    Hope that next game wont be about some galactic/outerworld enemy with armies of minions (like this hell demons in MKX) and it will be more about hatered in characters, different views and poor anger. We have enough characters to not be in need of minions and space invasions.

    -Characters-
    Scorpion really misses his ripping-off-own-scalp-firebreathing. Give it back in XI.
    And when I play MK I want to play as Scorpion and as SubZero not as some old duchebags, there is really no need in humanizing them this way.
    Sonya. Most sad about her. Girl went from sexsymbol of the game to old grumpy whinny **** Her and Cassie's faces looks trashy idk why you did this to her, but this is shame.

    -Fighing itself-
    Some variations are superior to other, not all characters got well-developed var.
    A lot of characters has var. that almost same, like soomoning variations.

    Xrays are too slow and take too much time, got tired to look through them after 5 times already.
    MK2011 was better in it

    Fatalities and xrays sometimes feel like you went out of ideas. For MKXI moight be cool to have some players competition with ideas I guess,

    Cool:
    NEW MILEENA'S FACE (oh god this is really the best semi-rework evah)
    Annoying charactes like Cage and Blindguy are a lot less annoying when they are old
    Can use stuff in areas.
    Fighting itself feels fluid, wellpaced and mostly well-animated.
    Cool idea with Triborg and mostly satisfying playstyles.    … Expand

    While the downloadable content is about seven months overdue, and the patches to fix online performance even longer, Mortal Kombat X for PC is better than its even been with the release of Mortal Kombat XL.

    They took out 2 vs 2.
    Graphically beautiful.
    The variants for each character is a nice addition.
    Some mechanics improvement compared to MK9

    Character roster and character design is brilliant. Story provides more depth to mks characters. Gameplay suffers greatly from a terrible input system and spammy nature while being 50/50 heavy creating a less strategic albeit deeper gameplay loop than mk9.

    Для меня во всем слабее, чем 9 часть.
    Не знаю как в онлайне, но в плане компании точно).
    Мне нравится вселенная МК, так что да, я её оцениваю не только геймплейно (хотя геймплейно 9 тоже больше понравилась).

    More of the same. MK 9 had everything but X expands on it. If you didnt played MK 9 you can have funwith it. If you did then you will get tge same. Graphics are not the best but it works.

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    Characters designs are really bad and everyone look like each other. It has a half cooked graphic.
    Gameplay and characters are very unbalanced. Also Story is not very well.
    It's not bad but it isn't something special.

    Mortal Kombat XL offers the complete package. All the costumes, characters and stages in one deal. Graphically the game hasn't changed, but with all this content there is a whole lot to do!

    Early adopters may not even blink an eye at coming back for round 2 but for anyone just coming in they will have one of the best fighting games out there and a ton of unlockable content to look forward to.

    The package is massive and chock full of content. The netcode is pretty good, and the single player offerings are nice as well.
