I absolutely love Treyarch. They saved me the 80 bucks I needed to buy this game for me and my friend.

Justin und Kimmi suchtens also muss ja was dran sein wie an Anna

my job search is on a hold right now

I do not want to shine with my playtime here, I only want to provide credibility for the fact that I am a rather experienced MK player and, in fact, not a Noob Saibot
I have a total of around 500 hours on this game, previously played on PS5 and now PC. Also, I have over 5000 hours on MK11 on PS4/5 as we speak. As someone who has been playing the game at launch and now again after the Khaos Reigns DLC, I fundamentally disagree with the general opinion of most diehard Mortal Kombat fans about this game being worse than 11 or X, even though I felt the same way at launch, so let me take a deep dive into: 1. The controversial woke genderswap DEI Cyrax and Sektor situation + the controversial story ending (no spoilers) 2. Netherrealms supposed greed (spoiler: its WB, their publisher) and the kameo feature 4. the current state of the game (for both online and solo players)

Oh boy, lets start with the most controversial one: Cyrax and Sektor (previously being badass ninja robots) are now females in nanosuits, one is of african origin and one is chinese. Let me be straight forward: They could have just added in their previous variants and we would have all been okay with that nonetheless woke af move, but they did NOT deliver, they made it even WORSE!! by adding in their previous variants for the KAMEO VARIANTS OF CYRAX AND SEKTOR I AM NOT JOKING! However, here is the real problem, which is our perspective of everything: would we, as a 12 year old boy who just started this game. really have cared about stuff like that at all? Nope, we would have had an amazing time. Of course its woke and trust me I am annoyed too, but anyone not familiar with this movement or simply from a generation below us simply does not see things the same way we do, and we have to accept that I guess. I feel like this game and MK11 suffer the fate of Star Wars Episode 3. (for those who do not know what I mean, that movie was seemingly hated by most and presumably worse than 4,5 or 6, when in reality, all of the children absolutely loved Episode 3 more than anything else, they were just too young to express themselves. About 8-10 years after the release the movie (and the actor of Anakin) were finally given the praise and love they deserved.

About the ending: It was an absolute pleasure to see the story end up being a huge nod to all the oldschool fans, and I absolutely loved it. Please do not listen to others and have your own opinion is all I want to say here.

2. I do not intend to sugarcoat anything here: this game was being sold as a HUGE cashgrab over the years, waiting for the DLC characters and gatekeeping so many skins to have them added into the ingame store later on - horrible to say the least. But now in 2025 with the definitive edition out, this game is finally komplete enough to be enjoyable. The tutorial of this game is hands down the best tutorial of any fighting game ever made, so even though the learning curve is still crazy (especially playing ranked), the devs REALLY cooked with this one. My friends (who have never touched a fighting game before) joined me after kompleting the tutorial and now we are beating each other in King of the Hill matches every evening (KotH is a gamemode in which the player who wins keeps on fighting other kombatants, essentially being the "King" of the lobby.), and while they are having the time of their lives hitting their first kombos (the kameos help new players a lot which is not a bad thing in my opinion as a tryhard will instantly kick your sh** in as soon as you do unsafe stuff anyway lol), I am having the time of my life learning new characters and making my friends rage. For MK beginners: This will be the most rage inducing game you will ever play, and you will love it after getting ur first wins.

EDIT: I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING FOR 10 HOURS TO GET BEAT THE FCK UP BY A GUY NAMED "uWuBoy2009" IT LEAVES STAINS ON UR MENTAL HEALTH

The kameo feature, which has been absolutely HATED by most of us at launch (including me) is now really fun to play around with and negate some of your main characters weaknesses. Yes, it should have been either a tag team game or just a normal MK, hell, there is so much wasted potential in the franchise as a whole and the kameos are proof of that: why give us "kameos" instead of fully playable characters? Now, nobody cares about how ur kameo looks because you rarely even see it and even if you do, you would have to be concentrating on the enemy and not their kameo. To come to an end: The kameos are additional attack inputs for your main you can use to start,extend (or drop) combos, or play mind games with your enemy, nothing else. You could go online without ever using them and kick ass just because you know your character.

4. the current state of the game: As of 09/19/2025, Cyrax, Havik, Noob Saibot and Ermac are undoubtedly the top 4 characters in the game, which obviously does not mean you are a noob for playing them (try hitting a kombo on Noob even ONCE) or that you will instalose against them. In this game, knowledge beats anything, and while you may think during your journey that the enemies are using OP or unblockable stuff on you, it is in fact a huge skill issue and you just need to learn how to outplay all the characters. If you are a kasual player, MK11 was definitely a lot easier than this game, but nonetheless you have an (now fun, back in the days annoying af) invasion mode, and towers of time in which you can unlock over 322 skins as we speak and get your reps with your main in.

For online players: As a Noob, prepare to get wrapped up like a burrito and
EMBRACE KHAOS! embrace the rage you will feel while playing this game online. You will catch up with the people. Give it time, give it practive and dedication and you will be hooked to Mortal Kombat for the rest of your life.


Buy the definitive edition for about 20-30$ on the internet

NOTHING beats a lag2holiday and right now YOU can save up to 50 frames per person!

still a good game though and I have an RTX 5070 so im good lol

!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ON PC !!!!!
NO ONLINE MODE (YOU CANT EVEN FIGHT YOUR FRIENDS WITHOUT REMOTE PLAY WHICH PLAYS LIKE ABSOLUTE DOGSH##!!!!)
The devs have abandoned this game for good, I have 2 platinum trophies on different accounts on this game on PS4 and PS5 and you should ABSOLUTELY play it, but NOT ON PC !!! Consoles still work fine but do not waste your money on a singleplayer version of this game WTF Netherrealm!!!!

I am trying to love this game, but sadly this game hates its players and does not value their spent time due to EOMM :(

To be honest I know it's a skill issue but I see the whole community coping hard with EOMM so why not do the same?

The downvotes this game has are solely based off of one thing: expectations. This review will explain what this game is and isn't so you know how to approach this masterpiece of a game without expecting (i wouldn't say "too much", because that'd imply there are flaws this game has that make it less enjoyable) a full-on loot-shooter Borderlands the way we are used to. I will include a quick explanation on Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) in this review too, so you know 100% what to expect from this game.

To clarify: This game is indeed a Borderlands game with Borderlands gameplay and the looting we all love. It's just a different approach to the genre. Claiming that this game is not worth playing because (some of) it's mechanics are different to those of the main series makes as much sense as hating on Pokemon Go due to it not being the same game Nintendo has been releasing over and over again over the decades. You just can't please gamers it seems - we strive for new games with new mechanical hooks that were made with love by the devs, yet we cry out loud because now we have to press more buttons to win, or walk right instead of left because that's not the game we used to love!!!

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a Borderlands D&D session. For those who are not familiar with the tabletop game or the genre in general - there is a "game master" that doesn't actively play with the others but creates the narrative and story needed for others to thoroughly immerse themselves and ultimately enjoy the game. The game master of this game is, who would have thought, Tiny Tina. The game starts with you and a few others (presumably vault hunters, correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't beaten the game yet) sitting at a table together with Tina as the GM, playing a match of D&D which is basically the game. The maps, the many different (needless to say, absolutely HILARIOUS) stories that evolve throughout the game, the looting and shooting - It's the Borderlands fun we all signed up for, fresh out of Tina's head straight into the ever evolving game we're playing, and it will have your (implying you're playing alone which you absolutely shouldn't) sides in orbit from laughing your a off.

Tiny Tina is not called Borderlands for a reason, yet the people downvoting expected this game to be a Borderlands sequel. This game doesn't play like you'd typically expect a Borderlands game to be played, not because anything is WORSE than the main games: It's just different. You have the overworld, which you can think of as in Pokemon where you have random encounters that either start a fight (which will tp you to a map in which you have enemies spawn and you kill them Borderlands style) or you can punch them quickly to skip the fight and still get xp. You have spells you can cast, many new (incredibly FUN!) classes you can merge together (max 2 classes) later on, and much more that makes this game an absolute banger.

Do you expect a very fun Borderlands experience that doesn't take itself too serious to have some fun with your mates? Absolutely buy this game. You can grab this game including all DLC for less than 10 Euros and have the (in my opinion) funniest Borderlands experience there is right now. This game made me laugh harder than the telltale game, which is absolutely crazy.

Do you enjoy Borderlands and are hyped for BL4 so you want some more Borderlands fun in your life? Then buy this game and have a great time.

DON'T BUY if you expect a Borderlands game with the same narrative style as the previous games. This game is not called Borderlands for a reason. I'm having an awesome time with my friends and I can't wait to play more of this beautiful and absolutely hilarious game.

This is not a review. We review games that are new to the market or being reworked so us fellow consumers know whether a game is good or not without having to spend our hard earned money on a cashgrab. THIS GAME, this whole franchise - designed to rip you off, every single year, because YOU are the problem. This is a detriment to the fact that you know you are being ripped off yet you do not care. You buy more microtransactions. You buy the battle pass. You watch your favourite franchise being consumed by greed and your favourite game turn into Fortnite with all these skins, yet you do not get it. You do not understand that with your braindead ongoing support of this huge scam that calls itself "Call of Duty" you are actively contributing to the downfall of the video game industry because Activision STILL gets green numbers after all these years, they are STILL successful after basically ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the playerbase completely, they are not even trying to cater to us anymore.

SBMM? No way in hell they will ever ever change that, as braindead consumers keep buying their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ rainbow skins and they get more and more $$$ because after the mtx purchase has been made it has been confirmed that you will be put in easier lobbies for a while. This is not even a secret anymore, yet you still support it.

Omnimovement? Omnipain. People sliding around like maniacs has nothing to do with a skill issue. I never go below a 2kd in CoD games and I still despise this new movement system with everything I have because the speed of this "new feature" (LOL!) endulges macros, script kiddies, and hackers, which lead us to the next topic -

The hacking in Call of Duty games. This game basically does not have anticheat. At this point there is absolutely no point in playing ranked or even normal gamemodes simply because you will get a hacker in 70% of ur lobbies and Activision will never fix this issue. Why would they invest the money anyway if you buy their game every single year and purchase their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ battle pass?


As mentioned, this is NOT a review, as the quality of "Call of Duty" games without a doubt started going downhill with the release of Ghosts and we all know that, this is a hate letter to the consumers that actively contribute to the downfall of this industry.

How can this franchise even be a thing anymore? The arguments to "let people have fun playing the game", "whether you like it or not", "its their choice", etc... do not synergize with me. I literally do not give a ♥♥♥♥ about braindead gamers like the CoD community and their feelings anymore, you are raping the gaming industry, whether you like it or not.

i goon to panam everyday
