Mortal Kombat 11 - Making One Fatal Mistake | Push Square

Those yearning for the gore-soaked days of old will find plenty to love, and newcomers will be enthralled by its excellent story and deep fighting system.

Glad they talked about the ridiculous grinding for good items in the krypt. I’ve been playing the game for 4 days now and it’s ridiculous, people are going to be mad.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

This is why I'm confused about the 9's and 10's. Seems to me those reviews are either downplaying or ignoring that huge problem.

[GameStallion]

That’s why I always give love to TheSixthAxis They’ve been calling out that manipulative garbage for awhile. https://www.thesixthaxis.co...

[Edito]

They aren't playing the game simple as that.

I think NetherRealm wants people to play the heck out of the game to keep the online community booming. If you don't actually like the actual gameplay then yes, it will feel like a chore and won't be fun but if the gameplay is fun then you'll have no problem unlocking anything because it will just come naturally.
I think we've been spoiled by the dopamine rush of game design that give you unlocks every 5 minutes to keep you engaged. Back in the day we used to play games with no unlocks, we just played Mario over and over because it was fun.

Yup, the grind is real & it’s messed up.
Everything is geared towards making you purchase in-game currency or konsumables...not good.

Not sure how it is in this version but I remember previous crypts being grindy as hell as well. Is it that much worse?

[CobraKai]

I was sure the mistake was casting the lamest woman on the planet Rhonda Rousey as Sonya Blade.

[kayoss]

Deadpool would make a great addition to this game.

[Kashima]

Fighting games tanking microtransactions this gen, i wonder what will happen in next gen

[GameStallion]

Can’t believe they were actually greedy enough to implement a loot-grind system in MK.

[optimus]

why? it was like that for the previous mortal kombat as well as both injustice games. why do people act like the game is unplayable because they have loot boxes and such? i don't get it. nothing within the game prevents you from playing and finishing it, it's mostly cosmetic so why bitch about it? 🙄

[NapalmSanctuary]

Neither Injustice or MKX had a loot grind. And there is nothing unreasonable about making complaints when a game completely undermines one of its better secondary aspects.

[optimus]

@napalm,...yes, they did. in fact both injustice games had loot boxes that were awarded to you by grinding through matches in the various towers. basically grinding fir it unless you were dumb enough to pay real noney for it....same for the unlocking of krypts in mortal kombat x...different way of doing it but the principle remains the same.

[Father__Merrin]

Doubt this is a 7 at all. Comes with so much playability and content will last you a long time

[NapalmSanctuary]

Its the way they gate the content that hurts its score. The playability is definitely there, but there's no good excuse for adding F2P mechanics to a P2P game.

[william_cade]

Let the grind begin.

I'm only playing the story and online. Not touching anything with the towers or crypt unless it's fixed.
