D'Vorah's fatality was actually disgusting. GG I loved it! So glad she's back since I felt D'vorah was one of the coolest characters from X. Also budbundy - if they mean "toned down" by covering up the women and making them less sexualized, it's because some people take issue with objectification and female characters being sexualized. Times have changed from the days of MK9 with Mileena and her flesh pit outfit or even Dead or Alive to a certain extent with DoA 6 sorta following the same path with its female characters. NRS went with a more conservative approach in how the female characters in MK11 look. That's all, really. Ok awesome! i thought they were making them weaker. Mileena is my favorite! Up the gore and down the sex.

Apprently the Krypt is a RNG riddled Lootbox nightmare. It's like Injustice 2, but far worse.

Logic tells me there won't be duplicates or stupid inventory management so I can't see it being worse (lol famous last words). Whatever, I'm still expecting to never get awesome Noob masks like how I never got the 1970s Batman shader.

If I have to grind out 600 hours just to get the best gear (That I can't use online anyway) then I'll be rather ticked off.

When I have spent £100 on a game, I want more than a story mode though. The datamined DLC isn't making me OOoooooOOOOO either.

The datamined DLC isn't making me OOoooooOOOOO either. Agreed but knowing how today's games always fare I always try to look for a positive, albeit miniscule. Guest characters are okay. I'd rather have actual characters from the series. No Reptile but I get Fujin! I could always play the game with friends or even anyone here that's commented and kept the thread alive - that could be fun

The only character on the leak that really bugs me is Joker. They're actually going to give us the worst Injustice 2 character?
Note: My opinion changes if he looks like Caesar Romero.

Story Mode finished. Spoilers ahoy! Okay, here we go. I liked Story Mode in MK11, I really did. I just felt, at times, it was hard to follow along with the story they played out. Maybe because I have only played after long work days, but it just felt too confusing at times and that is a big minus for me. That said, most of the characters are a ton of fun this time around. Jacqui, Johnny, Kano... Hell, even Kabal is pretty funny. Obvious Cassie bias aside, I felt like she was the best character in the entire lot. Waifu. Ronda Rousey as Sonya Blade on paper makes a lot of sense. But, once you hear her... Oh. Boy. She takes you out of literally every scene she is in, she has the emotional range of a brick wall, the voice doesn't match the face. Nothing about it makes any sense and it's dreadful. When past Sonya finds out Cassie 'let her die' it's supposed to be mad, emotional and upset. She sounds about as enthusiastic and passionate as I do when I explain to the McDonalds manager that they got my order wrong. If there is an Elder God, he will release a good PC mod with reworked Sonya audio. I'm just so done with the revenants and all that BS. By the end of MKX it felt really worn out, and in MK11 they truly overstay their welcome. Kronika as a villain was... Okay. I didn't hate her, didn't like her. She was just okay. And by the way she went out, it looks like hopefully she is a one and done. D'Vorah was delightfully creepy both as a character and a character model. Those creepy crawly legs made the aracnophobiac in me wanna run out of the room. I really hope she is a main stay from now on. Raiden was his usual boring self for better and for worse. The idea of a non-Elder God Raiden interests me. The ending was so much fun, Lord Liu Kang is an amazing concept and redoing history means MK12 will have more silly stuff and returning characters (There you go, Mileena fans.) I just feel that, the ending left a bit to be desired. I would have liked to see what the other characters were up to in a prehistoric timeline, if they even exist. Give me prehistoric Johnny 'acting' out some scene from Jurassic Park! Overall, 8/10. I enjoyed it, it was the perfect length but it just didn't make sense sometimes and I'll knock a few points off for that. Also, the fact that we don't get Elder God Liu Kang as a skin after finishing the story mode is ass. I guess I'll go to the Towers of Time then. Also, why no post credit scene? That would have been perfect for Johnny in Jurassic Park. Missed oppertunity. Oh well.

I just finished it myself and I'm going to have to disagree with you. I thought the story was weak. I didn't really like it at all. Like you said, the whole different timeline story was very convoluted and it left me scratching my head more times than not. I agree on your point about Cassie being the best character in the entire story; she rocked! I actually liked her in this game more than I did in MKX. A lot of characters were just....there for me. Nobody really stood out, in my opinion especially the new ones. I can't over how much Kano looks like Austin Aries. The one positive I will say is that the two guys at the end is pretty darn cool and very interested to see where they go from here. MK11's story was kinda disappointing, in my opinion.

I liked the story a lot but the ending left me, if anything, sad cause it really felt like the end of an era. The way it ended seems like it can only mean either this is Ed's last hurrah and he wanted to leave a clean slate for whoever picks up the story in the future or he potentially wants to change the entire landscape of MK and start from scratch.

If I had to rank the “modern” MK games id go... 1) MK9 2) MK11 3)MK10

I didn't really want Sonya Blade in this game but Rousey's voice acting made her entertaining.
Anyways I love this game despite its flaws and I hope the datamine leak is true and there's 18 characters coming. Still holding out hope for Smoke.

The only thing I'll hold against this game is the retcon. It seemed like after 9 and X, we were finally getting somewhere, but then Netherworld went, took all the lore they built, tossed it in a dumpster and lit that bastard on fire. Not saying the retcon is bad, but they had something going. And the fact that they've said 12 will be in no relation to 11 when the time comes...that's just disappointing. Sure, I play these games for the gorey animations and clever pre fight banter, but if I'm gonna play the story mode, I'd like some continuity. Otherwise I'll just farm the Krypt forever.

All the issues people have with MK11 and I just can't get over how Kung Lao and Sonya went from being the two I would have replaced for almost anyone to being two of my favorites to use.
