Pour one out for a real one

It's probably a good thing she's retiring on her own terms tho

    I've seen you mention this frequently but yeah thats fucked up. I like MK for the lore and characters (not so much the gameplay lol) but the gore is way too over the top and noone should have to go through that shit.

      I mention it frequently because it was fucked up. I see it as a high water mark of toxic freeze-gamer shit, and I'm still baffled that that user wasn't banned for that and is still around.

      I enjoyed it when it was campy/absurd violence instead of "realistic" and I lost all interest when the "authenticity" hypersus became the standard.

        Yeah I agree with this. My only caveat is a couple of my favorite characters (Cassie Cage, D'Vorah) come from the era of "authenticity" became the norm. And I did enjoy the story of MKX despite it being one of the "authentic violence" games. Also complete sidenote but the emphasis on guest characters in the current era of MK really puts me off. Not really related but I needed to mention it.
