this game seems like the level of bad that would make you just forget about it and move the fuck on with your life

but unfortunately it stars everyone's favourite gimmick bad cosplay vague martial artist so people think they need to remember

Uh...

Edit: How could ANYBODY beat this game without spending hours and hours restarting it and memorizing the platform layout? There's no indication of where platforms are at any point.

I looks good for a PS1 game, the FMVs look good in a korny Mortal Kombat way, and the platforming isn't as hard as it looks. I'm just saying I probably have the patience to beat it.

I had somebody trying to argue with me at work today that MK Mythologies was a great game. I wish this stream started three hours ago.

The first game is a clumsy but ~*EDGY*~ alternative to the "safe" genre leader
The second game is where it "got really good"
They released half of the third game and people complained so they released a super version later (but the characters look weird now)

Nobody wants to talk about the early 3D era because it's a pile of garbage and spinoffs

The PS2/GC/XB era is filled with mostly mediocre games that fans will nostalgically claim are "guilty pleasures"

After some missteps, they started to "get it right" again in the 360/PS3 era by "going back to the roots" later on, though only true superfans pretend that it's now an amazing series again


The whole thing is a mismash of confusing and overly serious lore, a million palette swap characters, and an inherently 90s TUDE that makes you wonder if it was ever good to begin with

just finished Metal Gear Scanlon 3, aside from the bonus episode. I saw you trying not to cry at the ending, Dan. And I
know that feel

you're reaching for this one, I'm sorry

(mainly because "mediocre" is far too nice for the PS2 era Sonic games)

Actually he mentioned on Danswers this week whilst he likes the ending very much, it was an excited tick he was experiencing at the time.

...Yeah, you're right. MK managed to stay on the straight and narrow after it got okay again, it hasn't had a Boom moment to send it all crashing back down.

actually yeah, to be honest this too

like as much as I don't really like anything Netherealm does, they at least have self-awareness and consistency

fucking Lost World
