I’m a little disappointed that “Tears of the Kingdom” didn’t contain any kind of shout-out to “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity” since that game featured Sidon, Yunobo, Teba and Riju (and Patricia) going back in time to save the Champions and defeat Calamity Ganon earlier, especially since it’s implied that much like “Avengers: Endgame”, the “Fallen Kingdom” timeline from “Breath of the Wild” would remain untouched and they merely created an alternate universe where practically everyone survived so Mipha would still remain dead after Sidon was sent back.

COD HQ sounds great until you realize that only MW2 2022 and games released after it will be included in the shared interface launcher.

Perfect opportunity for a streamlined MCC scenario for the new COD timeline series and they’ve already conked it up.

I feel like Warzone might’ve had a role in that outcome but I do hope that I’m proven wrong in the future…

The final phase of the final boss of “Enchanted Portals” is inspiring me to reboot my drawing ability and make my future drawings look more animesque.

He’s seen some shit, that’s for sure.

The former is what I heard but the latter is her 11 ending.

When a little shit needs to listen here.

Love the avatar by the way. When Reptile notices your bulge.

@Dustcan
I thought the (admittedly small) lore we got fir her in MK9 was that she was a being made out of the blood of fallen assassins/warriors?

Then somewhere between 9 and 11 her backstory got retconned to her being a human orphan who knew blood magic

@Dustcan
Not to my knowledge,

Yeah she was born a meatbag but ain’t she now a blood golem?

@Dustcan
No she isn’t, she’s a random orphan Shao taught blood magic to to make a sort of hybrid kitana/mileena assassin shang tsung sorcerer but with a built in timer as it’s implied blood magic is eventually fatal despite it’s incredible power,

10/12 symbols collected. I should be able to finish Dark Fall: The Journal tomorrow.

Skarlet is to blood what Ermac is to souls.

With a mix of being a bloodbender.

@Lord WyrmSpawN
IIRC Skarlet doesn’t even need to drink blood. All she needs is someone’s blood to make contact with her body/skin and she’s already absorbing it.

So, do they drink blood in an unharmful way, or is it all talk?

@icicle wicicle 1517
There were also costumes based off of DC (the one that made Cassie and Baraka look like Harley and Killer Croc respectively) and the OG MK movies. And like I said, DLC characters like Millena and Sindel were a lot closer to X in terms of design sensibilities than 11 was.

@Thanotos Omega
Yeah, I get that, but I feel like the unlockable costumes she got better conveyed that idea. Specifically, this one:

@Penguin Dragneel
Skarlet was just fixing a flaw in the original, she’s not a ninja she’s a sorceress who acts as an assassin, it makes a ton of sense to give her an outfit that brings that out better,

@Meanlucario
The DLC costumes Penguin was referring to were the “klassic” costumes the female characters wore back during the first 3 games of the series (back when all the female ninjas just wore leotards and high heel boots), and the klassic costumes have always been DLC for the NRS era games for the characters, not “cut content”

Also Sonya’s klassic outfit was base game in MK 11

@Penguin Dragneel
Sounds like they cut out the costumes to sell them than.

I don’t mind the occasional zombie enemy that uses a gun:

It’s kinda like the reverse of a human enemy using only melee in what’s mostly a gun fight:

@Meanlucario
Paid.

Weird thing about Dark Fall: The Journal; You need to create a folder to store your saves. I don’t know if it’s an old game thing or what.

@Penguin Dragneel
Were they free or paid DLC? If it’s the latter, than it sounds like they wanted an excuse to sell the “good” skins as DLC. And you say that like people aren’t way too horny for nuns.

@DoubleX
I feel like MK11 went a little too far on the opposite direction.

In contrast to 9, where every female was dressed like a stripper for some weird reason, everyone in base 11 dressed like they were in a poorly edited 4Kids/Saban dub. It wasn’t too bad for characters like Sonya or Katana, since their outfits actually suited the characters far more than the ones they’ve had in the past, but then you get to Skarlet, who’s dressed like a red nun for some odd reason.

I appreciate that they wanted to go with outfits that weren’t just there to make male gamers go hog-wild over the female characters, but they already achieved that balance with X, and they did it to a different extreme with 11. They did later release DLC characters and costumes that went with the MKX approach of designing the outfit based on the characters personality, so that’s fine enough.

@icicle wicicle 1517
The problem is the budget.

I’m pretty sure WB is still in charge of the budget for the game too.

@Dustcan
I mean NRS has had celebrities voice act in their games before (Injustice had Stephen Amile as a skin for Green Arrow, Carl Weathers voiced Jax for the Predator skin pack dlc, Robert England was Scarecrow in Injustice 2, and mk 11 had a whole bunch of celebrity voices), and they were received pretty well by the fanbase (apart from Ronda Rousey as Sonya in 11 and Megan Fox as Nitara, they seem to be the exception)

But yeah I don’t think a whole game with celebrities voicing the whole case would be possible even with how big the series is
