Why i HATE mortal Kombat 11 on switch LITE gamePLAY

Hello and welcome back to another Switch

Lite gaming review. So I've been playing

Mortal Kombat 11 for about a week now,

and actually I quite like the game in

general, and it's what I've been playing

most of the time. But there's still a lot

of things that I really, really dislike

about it, and that's what I'm going to

talk about in today's video. So first

of all, this is the first annoying thing.

My screen keeps getting smudges on it. I

mean, the first annoying thing is, so

after you stop playing it and then you put

your Switch into sleep mode and then you

come back to play it again,

um, you'll get disconnected from,

from the online servers and you think,

oh, I just press A and then I can

reconnect. Get back onto the online

servers. But watch,

you can't get back online unless you close

the whole game down and then restart it.

Look, I'll show you.

So it's been a few minutes, and as you can

see, it's still saying checking player

status, and it'll just do this forever.

You can wait 10 minutes, 20 minutes, half

an hour, an hour, and it'll just stay

spinning round and round and round, and it

will never connect. Sometimes you'll get

an error message saying failed to connect,

and the only way to solve this is you have

to exit, press X, close down the game,

reopen the game, and this takes ages.

Watch this. Look how long it takes from

starting the game to actually being able

to play a game.

So first we've got this black screen of

nothing, and then it

will show you the title screen,

and then it will show you about 1,000

different logos of different companies

that made the game. Watch, look at the

Why can't I skip this? What is it doing?

I don't want to read all this stupid text.

Look, all these logos start popping up,

which you can skip thankfully, and then

you finally get to the menu and

it will say updating game, and then It

should connect to the online servers.

It just takes way too long, you know.

See, that is connected. Now we're going to

look for a match. You can see I've been

doing a lot of ranked games and I am—

where's my score? 1300.

Ranked. I don't know which rank I am, it

doesn't say. I think I'm Warrior rank.

Anyway, what I was saying was it just

takes way too long when you just want to

pick up the Switch and get back into a

game. You've got to close the game down,

restart it, connect back to the server,

and then do the matchmaking process,

which actually didn't take very long this

time. Sometimes it takes a long time And

it can be 5 or 10 minutes until you can

actually get into a game.

And there's just so many loading screens.

It's just like staring at loading screen

after loading screen. Another annoying

thing is when you're choosing your

character on the character selection

screen, you can't use the touchscreen to

select your character, which would have

been a nice feature. You gotta use this

stupid— oh look, now I'm just getting

Getting disconnected from the game didn't

even start. The game is no longer

available. So yeah, that happens a lot.

Let me zoom in. So it happens a lot where

you find a match and then during the

character selection, for some reason it

just ends. I don't know if it's because

your opponent left or you got

disconnected, but then you have to do the

whole looking for opponent process all

over again. That takes forever. I just

want to jump into a quick game and it

Look, this will take— I don't know how

long it will take. It could take between 5

or 10 minutes. In some cases I've waited

over 10 minutes, still haven't got a game.

Today seems to be quite, quite fast,

not too bad today. Maybe because it's a—

is it a weekend? I forgot which day it is.

So hopefully this time, um, it won't end

randomly so I can show you the other

things I find annoying about this game.

So my favorite character so far is this

guy, Kotal Kahn. I quite enjoy him.

He's kind of like a druid, basically a

ripoff of World of Warcraft druid.

Because he has— well, he's kind of like a

ripoff of a shaman and a druid because he

has totems and he can shapeshift into a

cat-tiger thing.

The other thing I didn't notice was that

you have different sets of combos, and I

didn't know why I couldn't pull off some

combos and then sometimes I could. And

then took me ages to realize that you had

different different layouts you had to

choose from. I thought, I thought you

could just do everything all the time,

but you have to choose between 1 or 3

different combo layouts.

Would have been nice if they explained

that. So Scorpion is one of the most

irritating opponents to fight against

because he'll just rant, he'll just keep

on spamming combos like that stupid

teleport behind you sometimes. This guy

doesn't seem to be too good.

I hate that chain thing when it starts,

it's like you can't get out of it.

Now this guy doesn't seem too good, but

I've, I've found that the most annoying

players to fight against are really good

Scorpion players and really good Johnny

Cage players because they just juggle you

in the air. You can't even move because

you, you're just spending the whole game

up in the air getting juggled, and it's

just so frustrating. Also Joker, it's kind

of annoying to play against because he has

that stupid pistol move, and then you

can't get close to him because his, um,

staff attacks are really quick.

I don't know if I'll win this.

I didn't mean to do that. Also, sometimes

when I think I'm pressing the right button

for a combo, it doesn't pull off what I'm

trying to do. Come on, I'm so close to

I'm gonna win! He stepped into my god

ray. Kotal Kahn is quite fun to play.

Yeah, I guess it's using the thumbstick

giving me a problem. Sometimes I have

problems pulling off the combos properly.

I guess maybe the D-pad would be better,

but I find it uncomfortable.

I feel like I can win this.

This guy wasn't very good,

but he stepped into my ray. Why didn't he

die? This is the other thing I find very

annoying about this game. These animation

scenes look impressive and they're fun to

watch the first time you see it, but after

you've been playing the game for weeks,

they're just way too long, and I don't

want to see this bloody animation that

takes forever. Every time. The way

you trigger it is when your health gets

low enough, it'll say fatal blow, and then

you press the shoulder buttons at the same

time, and it will perform this really long

animation of you brutalizing

your opponent. And it takes forever, and

you're just sitting there. Some, some of

the characters have really long cutscenes

when they're just beating up the opponent,

and you're thinking I just put it down, I

checked my phone waiting for it to finish.

They're just way too long, I wish they

Uh, the other annoying thing is

fatalities. I don't see the point of them.

They look cool when you first see them,

but again, they're so long,

long-winded, takes forever to finish.

And once I've lost the match,

I don't really want to see myself getting

pulverized in this animation cutscene that

I've seen a billion times before.

So you saw just now it lagged. Lag is a

big problem in this game.

So many times I'm playing and it just lags

and it goes into like slow motion mode.

And I don't know if that's because my

internet's bad or not, but it happens way

too many times. So here we go again,

bloody animation takes

for ages, forever. Now I've seen

this cutscene maybe 100 or 200 times

by now. Oh, I wasn't actually dead.

I hate it when you play against people and

they're just constantly spamming combos

and there's nothing you can do apart from

block. You try and get

up and attack, you just get juggled again,

and it's really hard to counter. You just

stand there holding block and then they'll

just do some kind of grapple. Usually I

just quit. I I don't even bother playing

against those people. It's not fun.

I don't like it when I can't even move,

and the game should be about having fun,

not getting juggled the whole time. Also,

ranged attacks are kind of annoying. You

see this? You can just stand there

spamming the range attack, and some people

do that and it's really annoying. They'll

just stand there doing this. The worst one

is, uh, RoboCop, because he has so

many range attacks. He's got pistol and

he's got his rifle and then he's got

grenades. And then some, some players I

came across, they'll just stand here

spamming it like this. Over and over,

and all you can do is block. But every

time you get shot, you get pushed back

again, and then you try walking towards

them, blocking every time, but you just

get pushed back. And it's

just so, so frustrating and unnecessary.

I feel like there should be a cooldown on

ranged attacks so you can't just spam

them. It's supposed to be like a fighting

game, not stand on one side of the screen

Spamming ranged attacks over and over.

I usually just quit as well if people do

that. I don't have the patience to play

against idiots who don't want to play

properly. It's fine if you do like 1

or 2 ranged attacks, but some of them,

they just stand there spamming.

So I just won again. I don't know how to

do any fatalities. I don't think there's

any point. I just do a quick kick or punch

so it ends the game. I don't want to be

sitting here watching a stupid fatality

cutscene for 2 minutes or however long it

is. So I just won that game and

I got some points. Also, this takes ages

when you're just watching this screen,

watching the points add up, when really

You just want to move on to the next game.

It kind of forces you to sit there

watching nothing.

I feel like there's way too many menus and

loading screens for this game. I think

that's all I had to complain about really.

Apart from that, yeah, it's a pretty fun

game. It definitely itches

my competitive scratch. I mean, it

scratches my competitive itch. I don't

even feel like playing Rainbow Six anymore

Which is great because it means I don't

have to buy a gaming laptop for when I'm

going to Germany. Remember last time I

went to Germany, I bought that stupid

gaming laptop so I could play Rainbow Six,

and then I just sat in the Airbnb playing

Rainbow Six all day long. What was the

point? This time I'm not gonna buy a

gaming laptop because the Switch has

some pretty good games on it that I found

recently that I do enjoy. I got Resident

Evil 0 as well because I quite liked

Resident Evil 1, so I thought I'd give a

different Resident Evil a try. But I do

feel quite addicted to this game, which is

good, and I've only been playing mainly

Baraka. I got really good at Baraka, then

the game got boring, so I switched to

Kotal Kahn. The good thing is when you

start getting really good at a character

and it starts getting boring, you just

play one of the different characters and

it's like a fresh new game. So there's

like different, different ways of playing

the game depending on which character and

which— see, you can choose this variation

at the bottom, and then there's

different sets of combos specific for the

variation. So there's

different kinds of play styles, I guess,

for each character. Oh, I hate this

character as well, Noob Saibot.

He's one of the most frustrating

characters to fight against because he'll

just stand at the other end of the screen

spamming his ranged attack, and then he'll

just randomly teleport to your location,

then pick you up and spin

you up into the air. It's really difficult

fighting against a good noob Saibot.

Watch, maybe I can show you. I don't know

if this guy is any good. He'll do this

range attack where a clone— see, a clone

like that will just lunge at you, and then

he will teleport behind you like that.

And he'll keep doing those uppercuts,

which are very hard to block because

you don't really expect it.

It's very hard fighting him.

It's also hard to, um, to get

any attacks in.

I hate that move as well. You think he's

gonna stay there and then he just randomly

appears.

Yeah, I'm gonna lose this.

This guy's really good at blocking as

well. Some people you come across are

just way too good at blocking. It's like

they know what you're gonna do before you

do it. Oh, oh,

I won! I actually

won. Yeah, I have to watch this stupid

animation. It takes forever. Anyway,

that's what I had to say.
