• What’s their next game it was obvious this was a flop but the nrs stans refused to listen. Zaslav was talking out his ass as usual don’t be surprised they might end up closing nrs.

• Is Injustice 3 happening? Def Jam?

• I’m glad. The characters from the first dlc season were lacklustre. The second season and story were even more so. I’d go so far to say I’d describe it as boring. Yet more guest characters nobody asked for with so few characters selected from the overflowing collection of MK characters. At how little the second season and story sold, it would seem they missed the mark. Far too expensive and nothing that anyone asked for. The base game, for it’s amazing graphics, was still quite underwhelming when compared to it’s previous iteration. The first dlc was less impressive and season 2 even more so. Happy for a new game that isn’t MK from this stuidio as I feel character selection is off and the developers have not topped their previous MK and lost their way a little.

• Game is ass.. locked Jax into a side role position..
  Mortal kombat tag team is garbage

• Will they fire Ed Boon and current NRS leadership now? This shit show was his idea it wasn’t WB it was him.

• Mk1 wasn’t as solid as 11, for sure, but NRS isn’t going anywhere. Idiots claimed Rocksteady would close to, but they’ve survived their massive fail, and this is vastly better than that debacle. Cringe lord internet dwellers just have a childish need to cry havoc and say doom.

• Oh no your favorite character wasn’t in the game.. so game bad.. grow up baby

• NRS is done after this.

• So Injustice 3?

• Rocksteady hasn’t made a game since Suicide Squad and they more than likely won’t make a game this generation there’s still the chance they close right now they’ve been moved to a supplement role for Hogwarts. Netherrealm will more than likely follow and they’ve been moved to those roles once before. This is it for them. Monolith isn’t going to hit it with Wonder Woman and WB really has nothing else. The only reason they keep the game division is because they think a buyer will want it.

• This games problem was the upset fans who wanted Injustice, the fans who wanted the PS2 era finally, the multiverse, kameos, the weird reboot, the designs looking like ass, bad story, it was all over the place. Fans wanted the 3D era even if they did a reboot they could have made Kai the main guy but didn’t also removing Hanzo was a horrible choice. The MK stand just won’t realize it though they throw tantrums if you say anything just look at BruskPoet or even Dynasty complete insane people.

• The issue here was the lack of content , lack of engagement, as well the price of the dlc. The newest season is just season 1 again there isn’t much to do.

• Please let this mean Def Jam is finally happening Ed Boom promised it

• Mortal Kombat sucks the story ended with 11 and 11 wasn’t even the best but it was better than this. I disagree that going back to 11’s formula would fix the series. Tekken is next they have an ass game too and Street Fighter shouldn’t be surprised when their DLC is low.

• I am one of the many that didn’t even bother to get Kombat Pack 2.. I don’t even play the game anymore I think it’s probably the worst MK I have ever played. Hopefully the next game is MK Vs. KI. It would be great to have something different like that come our way and give the regular games a break. They obviously are out of touch with the fan base and kinda delusional if they think MK1 was a hit.

• The shills are here. You people didn’t just ruin MK you ruined gaming and entertainment by kissing corporate ass! Maximilian Dood when it comes to fighting games you keep pretending everything is amazing these games are flopping SF6, Tekken8, and MK they’re not in some golden age and Guilty Gear and the niche games are the same the DLC is flopping hard these games are donkey doo doo

• Ed Boon is getting fired be prepared Netherrealm is getting shut down they have way too much chaos at that company no pun intended lawsuits from employees are probably going to be filed. Harada is probably next at Bandai Namco unless he turns Tekken 8 around and announces a big guest character like Yujiro Hanma from Baki or Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen.

• Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance and Deception just need remakes that’s all remake them in Unreal 5 with the girls titties out no censorship give us sexy women and of course keep Konquest mode. Li Mei was turned into someone’s aunty in this game, Ashura looks like Devorah, Nitara was ruined I mean they got Megan Fox’s likeness and still fumbled that how do you fumble that?! Then Reiko was just wasted in this game the only person who should be allowed to write for him now is John Tobias. The disrespect to Hanzo is crazy here and no Onaga?

• Netherrealm needs to make a Wildstorm fighting game hire Christos Gage, Joe Casey, Robbie Morrison, and Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett to write it.

• I could see NRS getting closed and Rocksteady after the failures at WBD they need to make cuts unless what Greg Miller said was true that Zaslav wants to cancel the WW game that could change what closes.

• It’s because they’re too expensive! Just lower the price

• Shut up it’s clear the NRS shills are here like Brusk bro get a job or leave the US

• What do you think would happen when you put a price tag of a full game on DLC that’s not even worth it!?… just complete garbage this whole Mortal Kombat one is. Woke = Broke. People are sick of not getting full games anymore.

• Good now make a new game. Are they releasing this gen or not? Better not be cross gen

• >DLC almost the same price as the base game
  >Story was a nothing burger
  >OC characters are two near identical robots and Noob
  >Guests are not interesting
  >No new singleplayer content
  >Live Service model/Over priced shop
  >Multiverse/Time Travel
  >Major character changes/retcons

  Yeah, no shit no one liked it…
  >Lacking modes
  >Grind

• No one wanted this game the copium is crazy for hope of more
  MK. These people defending it hate WB but they still support WB? Get a life you people are pathetic complaining then feining for more garbage MK. Get help 👏

• Everyone told you this game would flop but no one wanted to listen now all you idiot shills are shocked? MK is dead and it’s your fault you were stupid the FGC better not be surprised when Tekken and Street Fighter have the same dilemma. Maximilian Dood better not gaslight everyone warned them but were called names now the damage comes in the form of cancellations and shutdowns/layoffs.

• Good. I prefer ordered this trash for $130 and it was suppose to include all the dlc. It was for the 1st pack and not the 2nd. This game is dogshit anyway

• Tekken;s next to get the death scythe these games were managed so bad

• Too many micro transactions. It’s sucks, that yet again too many unfinished games are being made. And money grabs. Bring back 90s games, when we had complete games.

• Microsoft hire John Tobias to bring back Tao Feng because Mortal Kombat sucks and will always suck under Netherrealm.

• I think this is it for NRS remember WB said they wanted to license out games

• I feel this secures Hunter X Hunter Nen Impact for EVO now I think this game is officially gone because no one cared.

• Nether Realm Studios is not going anywhere, and anyone who thinks they are, is absolutely dumb and do not understand business at all.

• I feel like I’m on the island of enjoying MK1 gameplay more than mk11 reading these comments 😂

  I’m one of those Die Hard lifelong fans. I’ve been waiting for Havik for over a decade. The way they did his move set was very tame. That story DLC based on him being in control? He could have been any other character…. there was no chaos in that story at all. You never even got to see a multi-realm chaotic battle. Hugged disappointment. Would have sold a lot better if it was awesome and got reviewed that way. they couldn’t have missed an opportunity and harder.

  Also… The grind in this game. Season 1 of invasions was very enjoyable to me. Then they nerfed all the power-ups and every season just gets worse to the point where I stop caring about other leveling up any characters anymore after about season 4. The amount of time you would have to sink in this game to level up every character just to get their second fatality unlocked… Smells like WB games thinks the amount of time players are spending on a game makes it successful.

  I think the most important part about all of this, WB Games is a Parasite that needs to go bankrupt.

• Ed Boon teased a new Def Jam now it’s finally time to own up to it finally make a new Def Jam not Mortal Kombat as you can see no one wants that trash.

• Time for Def Jam

• Hold Ed Boon to it demand they make Def Jam because it helps with diversity and it’s not going to hurt people’s mental space like Mortal Kombat is. If they make another Mortal Kombat call them racist.

• The same leaker now says that there are multiple reasons the low sales were one reason but there were more for the cancellation numerous he said. I assume the employees not wanting to see gore could be a big one since they need therapy and probably don’t want to continue Mortal Kombat honestly the franchise might just need to go if that’s 1 of the reasons. But it’s been too long since Injustice 2 so a new fighting game with DC characters would be better with no evil Superman crap get Kyle Higgins, Chip Zdarsky, Dan Abnett, Scott Snyder, or Phillip Kennedy Johnson to write it with the heroes fighting villains not evil versions of themselves.

• People seem to not understand Tekken and Japanese AAA games are cheaper to make than American ones due to things like labor laws and unions which require much higher pay for less work also actors are paid much higher in the west then factor in guest characters for this Mortal Kombat game the royalties have to be crazy then additional to guests not owned by WB and the likenesses and voices for celebrities don’t come cheap either all that resulted in this game being a colossal failure for WB. Forgot to factor in the marketing and advertising and the influencers they paid and the e-sports tournaments they run.

• Now sonicfox is joining the idiots and throwing a tantrum over mk. All these shills are why mk sucks same with nrs. Ed is Dan Clancy and nrs is his twitch to hang out with these weirdos and have them praise him.

• They should just remake Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon while they’re at it Psi Ops and Freaky Flyers too and a new Primal Rage.

• Ed Boon teased Def Jam for a while bring that back instead of another MK people want Def Jam and are burned out on MK. There’s nostalgia for Tao Feng just have Tobias bring that back.

• No Ed Boon has fled to Blue Sky the guy can’t run a studio but has time for posting and trolling on a platform for his politics that he doesn’t believe since he doesn’t run a safe workplace environment.

• Buy Hunter X Hunter Nen Impact me Bleach Rebirth Of Souls instead of trash
