Really, though, there are some great callbacks to moments in previous games if you keep your eyes peeled. Although, whoever made the decision to cast Megan Fox needs to be fired.

Not 100 % but pretty sure Anthony Starr isn't voicing Homelander in the game. Paused it on the voice credits and he isn't listed but both John Cena and J.K Simmons are.

Holy shit, she might actually be worse than rhonda.

Terrible celebrity acting aside, I'm really enjoying it so far. Really liking the feel. Only been doing the story but so far I really like how Raiden feels. Giving him more of shaolin kung fu style mixed with the lightning powers is so cool.

Also this game is beautiful. Easily the best looking fighting game ever made.

She is horrible in the story mode, like no reaction.

Actually doing her tower now to see if that is just as horrible.

Helmsphere

09-15-2023 01:55 PM

A little better. Her voice just doesn't fit.

Finished the story. Pretty good, all told. Whole thing is definitely a love letter to the ps2 era games. Final act is a lot of fun.

Only one real sore spot

SPOILER: show

Just started getting into invasion and I can tell I'm going to spend a lot of time in it. All those seasonal skins look sick.

Helmsphere

09-16-2023 12:50 PM

Yeah I spent a lot of time on Towers of time in MK11 and so far this is a improvement on it.

Also is there no dialogue between characters at the beginning of a match or is that either something that has to be unlocked or will be patched in upon actual release?

M-A-G

09-16-2023 06:27 PM

It's only in Versus matches.

Fignuts

09-16-2023 06:58 PM

Baffling decision considering how much people praised the feature was in previous games. A lot of people making a stink about it though so maybe nrs will patch it in to other modes.

M-A-G

09-16-2023 08:08 PM

I know some people have suggested just making it an optional thing you can turn on and off at your discretion.

For those interested in buying the game and want to save some cash, QVC is currently holding a special deal that drops the price of the game by $30 when using a special discount code albeit with a catch.

To take advantage of this deal, however, you’ll need to make use of a specific code at checkout.

There are actually two promo codes that you can take advantage of as of this writing. It doesn’t matter which you use — they’re both pretty decent deals, all things considered.

QVCNEW20 — This code only works if you have at least $40 total in your cart, and will take $20 off the top, so you can get one full-priced PS5 game for $49.99 (not counting shipping and necessary taxes).
NEWQVC30 — This code only works if you have a minimum of $60 total in your cart, and will take $30 off the top, so you can get a full-priced PS5 game and a full-priced Switch game for $129.98 (not counting shipping and necessary taxes).

It should be noted that both of these codes will only work for your first order with QVC, so you won’t be able to use these limited-time deals to bulk order cheap games. But, if this is just a bad time for deals — trust me, I get it — check back with Destructoid for more game deals across the internet.

Moxley would be perfect for MK. They might have to cut back the bleeding he's used to, tho.

Please no more "guests".

rez	09-20-2023 10:47 PM

Well....datamined future kharacters:

09-20-2023 10:53 PM

Well, that second one isn't much of a shocker considering the ending for Sub-Zero, and he was even name-dropped by Scorpion in the story. Not sure how they'll address the 1st, 7th, and last ones.

rez	09-21-2023 07:56 AM

Finished the main story last night. Nuts...mid end credits scene was kinda weird.

M-A-G

09-21-2023 08:08 AM

The one solace we can all take in it is that Megan Fox doesn't get any better.

rez	09-21-2023 08:45 AM

Now that Evil Dead: The Game is basically losing support and no new content...maybe Ash could make his way to MK after all.

rez	09-21-2023 08:45 AM

Hell, make him an optional voice for Nitara!

Sweet. I Just drove by that thing Sunday night. It was a floating astronaut at the time.

rez	09-22-2023 07:38 PM

I like the concept of Invasion but it's so repetitive... There should be a cruise control mode. I'm obviously going to beat the fuck out of the enemies in a couple hits.

rez	09-22-2023 07:41 PM

It's just tower campaigns (so far) with a beautiful overhead map, imo.

M-A-G

09-22-2023 07:59 PM

Has anyone here tackled online? It'd be nice to see some of y'all's exploits, a la the Street Fighter 6 thread.

Fignuts

09-22-2023 08:03 PM

Never spent much time online in mk outside of playing with friends.

rez	09-22-2023 08:37 PM

I beat the end of the storyline with Mileena

I'm not trying to suck S Tier peen and just having fun so far...sooo.. I'd say my top 3 Kharacters are:

Nitara (she doesn't talk enough to annoy me much in Invasion)
Mileena (I'm not one of those virgin Mileena stans from MK11, I swear)
Sub (Always my boi since OG MK)

Top 3 Kameos:

All of them, except Frost

I wonder if the opponents in that final run at the end of the story are different each time.

rez	09-22-2023 08:50 PM

I'll give ya $3.50 in today money in the year you figure that out

Shit. I was trying to come up with some Steiner/MK/South Park math equation but went brain dead.

If nothing else, I kind of want to know the story behind some of them. Like that Sonya/Kano hybrid; did she kill Kano and take his stuff as a trophy or did Sonya join the Black Dragon or something in that timeline?
