SF6 clears. Sorry not sorry. Tekken 8 will clear too when it releases in early 2024.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Not a bad number. Should easily reach 5 million units sold once the Holiday season is over.

I would have bought it had it had a krypt and not gaashit.

MK as we knew it is dead and gone, that press release confirms it IMO.

Same reason why we didnt get shit for MKs 30yr anniversary either. WB hates the history of MK and only wants to focus on its current and disgusting gaas model.

Dawg lets be real it was never alive and here to begin with. Street Fighter, Tekken and Smash always had more tight and intuitive fighting mechanics, MK was clunky and odd in comparison. animations didn't help either. Y'all were in it for the gore and the story. even Dead or Alive which sold on sex appeal had great core mechanics to back the titty physics up.

The 'horseshit' here is essential to fighting games. I think it says a lot when people talk more about SF, Tekken, and Smash more competitively than they do MK. The game is just not a fun or interesting fighter in comparison to peers of the genre.

Well online competetive wise, yes i agree.

Prior to this latest dumpster fire, the MK games have had plenty of good single player content. You cant discount the huge history of the MK fanbase that love it for its single player content
