People like familiar shit. They dont want a reimagining of their favorite characters and OC Donut Steels.

Nobody liked the Kameo system, and although they patched up a large chunk of the issues, it's very clear the game was released ahead of schedule, it needed another year at least to cook.
This game has the least amount of content out of all those you listed.

Doesn't matter when the budget is fucking colossal and the DLC/MTX that are supposed to cover up those costs don't sell since MK players don't actually like fighting games.

The game was less fun to play and most of the characters ware uglier less interesting or less cool versions of past ones.
Bigest isue from the gameplay perspective was the games over reliance on long ass combos.
Most game-play boils down to like 2-3 interactions per round to win.

Of course not, because it flopped. As a result, they were looking to pull the plug as soon as possible. That wasn't the case with the other games.

This game had more celebrity cameos than MK characters.

Maybe in MKX and Injustice but it was toned down in MKXI.
But at the same time it also took resorces and skill to do long ass combos so it was mostly a high level play thing.
Any retard could learn a long ass combo in MKI and start them from a random overhead or low which meant low rank also suffered from long ass combos and this killed the games appeal for casuals.

The worst writing in all of history.
They dropped the storyline of 91011 and replaced it with a reboot nobody asked for.

The plot of mk1 is mega retarded and ONLY makes sense if liu kang is doing it all on purpose and is just pretending to act surprised by the events unfolding.

Make sub zero leader of the clan. No not the good sub zero but his twisted brother....that makes sense. Then have a 2 minute conversation with shang tsung and decided to throw everything away and become a bad guy and betray everyone. His argument wasn't even that good aside from 'go on be bad'

We then had super dyke mileena looking like a democrat going on about her dyke powers. It's like the writers forgot she wasn't a dyke but a manipulative two faced piece of shit that used people to get what she wanted. The timelines literally prove she uses anyone and everyone for self power.

Liu then decides to bring back kahn, tsung, chi all back at the same time and out of pettiness make their lives hell - which results in them turning evil. Then at the pyramid at the end where everyone is a titan version of themselves he sees GOOD versions of those characters who were good people because he didn't ruin their lives.

He then gets his sand time abilities back near the end of the game. He the fucking lord of time! Why doesn't he just reverse everything before he fucked it all up?

Not ONCE does kpop reptile ask kang to use his time powers to bring back his wife and daughter. Not ONCE does kitana ask for those powers to bring back her mother and father. Not once does blind dude go 'can you fix my sight? Coz this is kinda your fault'

The amount of retarded shit in mk1 is off the scales. Don't get me started on sheboon cyrax

MK & NRS have very little overlap with other traditional fighters, it's practically its own bubble.

It actually makes me happy to hear WB games are struggling since it gets us one step closer to DC characters getting licensed to a non-dogshit fighting game company.

It came out too soon and didnt feel like much of an upgrade compared to the last game. When MK11 was revealed, it was a massive graphical improvement from MKX and the character designs looked awesome aside from Scarlet. The story also looked super interesting when they were still baiting everyone with a Dark Raiden story of him going berserk on the other realms. Not only did MK1 not look any better graphically but all of the character designs were super bland in comparison.

The game also got concorded with its own beta, I remember everyone saying that it played just like MK11 which was slow and clunky. They really should have made another Injustice first or something else, because everyone has fatigue of Mortal Kombat and its hyper gore
