    A tragic waste of precious table space.

    I like the barely visible case of mike's hard lemonade in the corner, revealing their terrible taste in beverages.

    What the fuck what the FUCK

    I hate everything about the way netherrealm games look

    Yeah, I don't dig the art style in MK9, as great as the game is, but it's whatever 'cause MK is big and dumb and violent.

    Their art style translated to DC was TERRRRRRRIBLE. I thought every single character in Injustice looked like butt.

    Eh, it's not a boardgame you want to play all the time but it's a classic for a reason. It's quite the fun experience, personally.

    3 hours is my absolute upper limit on board games

    less than 1 is ideal for me

    I'm always astonished by the fighting games community's hatred of how MK looks

    The last game looked fantastic

    Well

    I actually get that they don't like how it plays

    I don't agree, but I get it, its very different from the typical capcom fare

    I am basically to where I realize I don't like tag games at all, so the only things still coming out for me are SF, KI, and MK

    MK9 is a horrible competitive game, that's all.

    Bunch of fun if you don't take it seriously and just wanna play story mode and fight with ninjas.

    I thought it looked bad before I got into fighting games

    the animations look like jerky garbage to me

    MK's ultra-floaty ground bounces and air juggles have always looked awful to me:

  • ChincymcchillaChincymcchilla Registered User regular
    Yeah that's the specific word people always say

    But the animations are super smooth to me

    I wonder if people are just used to the 2d animation style in a lot of japanese fighting games or something?

    at least they have the right aesthetic for the mortal kombat name

    injustice looks ugly AND it's a real shitty representation of the DC univer-well, okay, it's a pretty good imitation of the new 52

    There is a not-insignificant portion of the FGC that thinks Mortal Kombat is a game for fucking children and you'll be laughed out of certain circles if you want to play it

    there is also a significant part of the Mortal Kombat community that acts like fucking children

    Also everyone looking like they were getting skinned alive after every battle due to the action damage gore stuff they had going on.

    There is like a pause between every animation in MK

    Also everyone bounces like they are full of bouncy balls

    Well I mean

    I don't think anyone is going to deny that at least parts of the FGC community are especially toxic

    While MK may not be a good competitive game, I enjoy it way more than any Capcom fighting game I've ever played because it is way easier to pick up and do cool shit with, and harder for someone to 100% completely steamroll everyone else if they're any good at the game

    Like every MvC game I've ever played with friends devolves into just flailing around almost immediately and our one friend who owns a fightstick just stomping everyone

    I was going to make some dig at the FGC having the developmental capability of a child but my two year old is polite and apologetic so I wouldn't want to start wantonly insulting children.
