My college recently had a Mortal Kombat X Competition going on last weekend. Being a hardcore fan and all, I decided to go in. Now, I haven't played the game in like 8 months because the netcode wasn't working good at all for me and once I unlocked everything, beat the game with everyone, I didn't see much of a reason to play. I went in thinking I would kick ass, nah I got whooped pretty bad.

BUT, let me say this....The cinematic quality that MKX had to a group of like 20 people in the room was astounding. I was able to appreciate MKX much more than when it was first released. The dirt going on the clothes, the music, the graphics, the amount of energy going on around the room during each match was a great feeling. Mortal Kombat is definitely headed in the right direction, but its also noticeably heading toward the competitive crowd as well, there wasn't much complaints aiming at the roster during the competition like "Where's Sindel? Where's Kabal? Blah Blah Blah" People actually digged the roster...Everyone gets disappointed if their favorite isn't in for the first few weeks, but eventually people got over it, because in the end, the gameplay was what people enjoyed in the end..

This is a positive note to NRS saying that even though there's a quite a few disappointments like the small level of stages, bad netcode, and no 2 on 2 (they should fix that in MK11), there's definitely a really good, gritty, realistic, energy in the overall game and it feels good to be a MK fan again...finally ALSO: What do people think if they went to real life actors and somehow made them fit in a fantasy environment for MK11?
