DO NOT BUY MORTAL KOMBAT 1 - Very Disappointing...

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

recently I've been playing the brand new

Mortal Kombat 1, and as an avid fan of

Mortal Kombat and fighting games in

general, I knew I just had to play this

game. Unfortunately, so far it's been kind

of bland, boring, and uninspired. So a few

years ago when I was in Germany and I had

a lot of free time, I spent a lot of my

days playing Mortal Kombat 11 on my Switch

and then later on my gaming PC. But after

playing Mortal Kombat 1 for quite a while,

I don't really see why you would choose

this Mortal Kombat over Mortal Kombat 11.

I feel like Mortal Kombat 11 is superior

in almost every single way, and compared

to Mortal Kombat 11 and even other

fighting games such as Street Fighter 6,

this rendition of Mortal Kombat just feels

kind of lacking in luster. So if you've

ever played any Mortal Kombat game before,

then you'll be very used to this game.

This is a very familiar feeling Mortal

Kombat. It's got all of the characters you

know and love like Scorpion, Sub-Zero,

Baraka, Raiden. The character roster is

basically everything and everyone that

you're used to and that you're expecting,

with a few new characters. For the tag

team feature. The tag team feature of the

game is what the game is boasting as its

brand new feature, but after using the tag

team function for a bit, I find it kind of

boring and meaningless and just like a

gimmick. Basically, you choose a second

character who's gonna be your tag team

member, and you can do like tag team

special moves when you fill your bar up

and then you press the triggers together.

Then your tag team member comes in and

does a special attack of their own. I'm

not really that interested in the tag team

functionality. I'm not really interested

in the tag team thing. I think it's kind

of lame. I'd rather just be on my own and

defeating my enemy by myself using my own

powers and my own skill. So the character

design in this game seems to be, for some

reason, much worse than the character

design in Mortal Kombat 11. For example,

Raiden in Mortal Kombat 11 looks really

cool, like this glowing lightning god,

but in Mortal Kombat 1, he just looks like

a normal guy wearing a Vietnamese straw

conical hat. And I don't like the attack

animations. As you can see, all this

orange whooshing. My favorite character is

Baraka. He was really cool in Mortal

Kombat 11, and his attacks are really cool

as well. And some of my favorite attacks

from Mortal Kombat 11, like when he shoots

out the bones from his back, he kind of

like crouches down and shoots out all

these bones. You don't have those attacks

in this game. He has like a new list of

attacks which are okay, but they're not as

good as the ones from Mortal Kombat 11.

And also the attack animations with all

this orange swishing is really weird and

very arcade-looking. I didn't really know

that Mortal Kombat is like an arcade-style

fighter in terms of visuals. That's more

of a Street Fighter thing. I was more into

the idea of Mortal Kombat being this

realistic, gritty-looking fighter, and the

orange swooshing and effects just kind of

ruin that kind of realistic immersion.

The gameplay didn't really feel very

smooth either, and I was kind of

disappointed with the performance of the

game considering I'm running this game on

an RTX 3060 with 16GB of RAM on a 10th

generation Intel Core i7 processor. So

this game should be able to run pretty

smoothly on this system with good

graphics, but I had to put the graphics

down to low to be able to get about 40

FPS, which is kind of disappointing in

terms of optimization and performance

capabilities. If you were hoping for a

brand new reboot of Mortal Kombat and

you're hoping for something fresh and new,

I think you're going to be sorely

disappointed with Mortal Kombat 1 because

it barely does anything differently or

even new compared to Mortal Kombat 11. I

played it for a good solid few hours and

there was just nothing in this game that I

felt like it did better than Mortal Kombat

11 or did new, or if it was anything fresh

or new. I feel like I might as well just

be playing Mortal Kombat 11. The special

moves and the finishing moves and the

fatalities and the brutalities are quite

fun to watch for the first time, but after

seeing them for dozens of times or

hundreds of times, it does start to get a

bit annoying having to be forced to watch

them. And again, they're not really as

impressive as it was when you first

watched them on Mortal Kombat 11. And I

guess if you've been playing a lot of

Mortal Kombat 11 like I have, then you

don't really feel that shocked or amazed

at these brutalities and fatalities

because it's basically just the same

thing, you know, like x-ray vision of the

skeleton and inside the body as bones are

cracking and blades are penetrating. And

it's just not really that amazing like it

was when Mortal Kombat 11 first came out.

So I'll tell you a story why Mortal Kombat

11 has such a deep meaning for me. It was

back in 2020, I met this girl from the

Netherlands and I fell in love, but then

she dumped me because of, you know,

personal things I don't want to get into

right now. And I went to Germany to go on

like a soul searching adventure, or, you

know, soul-searching quest to find myself.

And I found myself in this Airbnb in

Berlin, just kind of miserable, alone,

praying every night that she would message

me again. And I didn't know what to do,

so I just— because I brought my Switch

along with me and Mortal Kombat 11, I used

to sit there for hours and hours and hours

all evening, very late into the night, in

Berlin, in that Airbnb, just playing

Mortal Kombat. And I got pretty damn good

as Baraka. I got to a very high rank and

And I was pretty proficient. I memorized

all of the special attacks and I could

destroy nearly everyone. And the music—

every time I hear the music from Mortal

Kombat 11, it makes me feel this funny

way. Long story short, I ended up getting

back together with the Dutch girl, and she

did message me again whilst I was in

Germany, and we met up again and we dated

for like another 6 months before she then

dumped me again because I guess she didn't

really enjoy being with me. And for that

And for that reason, it's kind of tainted

my memory of Mortal Kombat. And whenever I

see or think or hear about Mortal Kombat,

it just kind of reminds me of those

painful memories. I remember those days of

just roasting 2 massive chickens in the

oven of the Airbnb, messing around with

the owner's clothing, and, you know, just

getting up to no good in the Airbnb,

which is what probably eventually led to

my eventual banning from Airbnb. And I

just had these massive 2 roast— I just

chowed down on these 2 massive roast

chickens to try and drown my misery. And

it was nice, you know, I had these roast

chickens, I was playing Mortal Kombat 11

on my Switch in this random guy's Airbnb.

So for those reasons, I don't really feel

like I can recommend Mortal Kombat 1

because it's kind of boring and rubbish

and it's basically just the same as Mortal

Kombat 11, but it looks worse and it plays

worse and the animations look stupid. And

what's with all this orange flashing? It

looks so dumb. Why did they make this game

look even worse than the previous version

of the game? I have no idea. And the game

doesn't even run very well and it doesn't

even look very good. And it looks like a

more bland version. Even the designs of

the characters, they just look like boring

versions of the Mortal Kombat 11 designs

of the characters. For example, Scorpion

and Sub-Zero look really cool in Mortal

Kombat 11, but in Mortal Kombat 1, they

just look less cool. And they've got like

the same moves. Sub-Zero just slides

around on his ice and freezes people.

Scorpion shoots out that little rope with

the dagger attached on the end and pulls

you towards him. It's just the same stuff

over and over again. I'd rather just not

have to pay money for this game and just

go back to play Mortal Kombat 11. If I

really wanted to play a fighting game, I

probably wouldn't even play Mortal Kombat,

I'd probably just play Street Fighter. So

I would have to give this game a 6.2 out

of 10. I can't really recommend it for

those reasons. I am out.

Oh shit.

Oh, that's what he does. Oh no

way.

Finish him. Oh,

I have to try this shit again.

He's cracked.

0-5, gentlemen.

We'll get it down.
