Mortal Kombat 11

@FallofSeraphs76 yeah I did the full tutorials to unlock the Shao Khan voice before taking the game online. I did about 2/3 before I did the story mode and 1/3 after.

The costume unlocks from doing the character tutorials are predetermined skins that I don’t think you can get any other way. It’s very easy to do so people should definitely do it. Steve Brownbeck keeps saying they are some of the best skins in the game.

I’ve done Kung Lao and Raiden. But I like to do these before I pick up a character. They aren’t challenging so much as they are a walkthrough if the characters specials and a few strings.

Sadly it looks like I’m extending my trip here. So another weekend bites the dust… :tada:

Has anyone tried the AI team battles? Its pretty cool! You pick your definding team and it randomly fight other AI teams and you get rewards. Or you can pick your offensive team, pick an opponents GT and watch a best of 3 AI battle for rewards. Get 5 wins and you get a skin or somehting.
I need 1 more win to find out what the reward is, but each match win you get augment rewards too.

**** ANyone know how to attach augments? I see I have some but when I pull up the gear piece to add augments it doesnt show iny in the box? ONly shows them if I want to manage them and sell them?

Press down twice solves this. You should still be able to complete this post-patch…

Really? For the life of me I could not get it at all. Interesting. Thanks!

No worries. Did you get it?

I will try it as soon as I get home!

OK one thing that is not cool… towers of time…it can expire while you are playing it. In Injustice 2 once you started a “tower” you were able to finish it regardless if time expired…this is BS when you spend 30mins on a set and if shuts off just before the final tower…UGH

Where are you this time @BigBadAndy ?

Yeah, that’s really crappy. Hopefully that’s in the queue for things the team needs to address. Is no bueno for the game to let you essentially waste your time on a tower like that :confused: The game is already pretty grindy, so definitely don’t want the grind to be further increased by little QoL issues like that.

It doesnt cut you mid tower or anything but there are 3 towers per “Tower or time”. SO I finished the first 2 towers, on my way t getting this killer NOOB skin and boom…times up.
It replaced the tower with a D’vorah tower…whicher there was laready a D’vorah tower on the map. So 2 different D’vorah towers running at the same time.

I’m in Bangladesh. It was supposed to be a short trip (one week) but now I’m extending but I will sit in my hotel room for two holidays. I didn’t bring anything with me, but if they made your MK11 account unified between Xbox and Switch that would be an instant sale for me.

Man MK 11 switch is totally meant fro you… Id get it regardless of console sysnc. I thought about it , having to basically ddouble grind…but IMO the Switch woudl only be for rare game time and no need for all the skins and gear ect… just having something to pass the time.

It’s a good point. I play on a stick though so it’s not just a different set of unlocks it’s different controls etc. but yeah, I’m thinking about it…

Still it would be really great if they could sync the accounts.

I ended up buying mk11 from a local import store despite being put off by dev comments leading up to release. Not a huge collector but I have always preferred MK single player modes and appreciate the huge amount of content. A bit complicated for my taste to unlock stuff but I’m not really keeping track of all the different currencies I am amassing. No one in Japan can buy the game officially so I will be focusing on single player modes anyway.

As for thee gameplay, I think it’s awesome… very well done. Not a high level players so not sure how balanced things are. I liked what I saw before on dev streams but I like the game even better now after playing the game myself. Characters look beautiful as expected. Loads of details in their designs.

I’m not doing a full review of story mode until I complete it. That’s one.

Two. Why in the ■■■■ did NRS put a price tag on Frost when players can easily unlock her?

Seriously…dumber than a bag of hammers.

They did the same thing with Shinnok. And Brainiac, I think. Some people just want a short cut.

Now why on earth they don’t have a “buy out the Krypt” option like they did in X is beyond me.

Letting people pay money to unlock the Krypt would have opened them up to massive negative backlash from the online hordes about predatory microtransactions. Which, ironically, they got hit with anyway, but it likely would’ve been much worse if people had been able to draw a direct line between “these Towers are too hard/long” and “NRS just wants you to quit and pay money to unlock things”.

Conversations around MTX are incredibly volatile, and for the most part NRS seems to not want to wade too deeply into them. It probably did do them some favors here - they would’ve gotten absolutely reamed about being shady/corrupt/liars/scammers if they’d had the initial issues with the Towers and Krypt paired with a robust microtransactions system.

Hopefully the patch coming out this week will put all the grind and microtransaction talk behind us.

Good thing I focused on story mode first.

I’ve successfully obtained human skins for Kung Lao, kitana
,Bare chest Johnny, Liu Kang, workout gear Sonya, another bald Kano, bare chest Jax,
another futuristic wakanda Jacqui, and minimal costume Kollector
It’s great to get at least one color of the preferred skins- then I can ignore any other finds for leveling purposes

There’s one blue c0stume with purple hair and red sash Cetrion I must have - ready to buy it if it ever shows up in R2 store

How do you get the human skins for the revenants. Those are all I really care about. I’d rather pretend the whole revenant thing never happened.
