Tekken 8 vs Mortal Kombat 12

Tekken vs Mortal Kombat

Let’s talk Tekken vs Mortal Kombat! It’s the ultimate showdown (mmmh maybe not!), but the real question isn’t about who comes out on top. Today I just wanna jump into the mood I got in playing these two fighting games… once again!

A bit of history of Tekken 8

Tekken ain’t just your average fighting game, man. This wonderful fightin’ game was cooked up by Namco back in ’94, hitting arcades like a ton of kicks and punches. And you know what? It didn’t stop there – they slapped it onto PlayStation the next year, and boom, the hype train went full throttle!

Critics were all over it, man. They were diggin’ the vibes, feelin’ the heat. Tekken was like a punch in the face of the gaming world – in a good way, of course. It was the OG, the one that started it all, paving the way for its badass sequel, Tekken 2, just a year later.

And get this – the brains behind this masterpiece? None other than Seiichi Ishii, the mastermind behind Virtua Fighter. He brought his A-game, man, makin’ Tekken not just similar to Virtua Fighter (the first 3D fighting game released), but cranked up the volume with detailed textures and a buttery smooth 60 frames per second. That’s right, we’re talkin’ double the frame rate for double the action, double the excitement!

Tekken 8

Ok I love Tekken but I have to recognize how many bad reviews this game had collected on Steam. Why? Based on the customer comments is mostly about micro-transactions. Despite the initial good score, customers from all around the World started calling Bandai Namco as a “scummy” or “greedy” company.

So now, I know what you’re thinkin’: microtransactions? Yeah, they’re there, but don’t let that get you down, ’cause Tekken 8 is still holdin’ onto that classic gameplay that made it a freakin’ legend. We’re talkin’ about gameplay that’s fast, furious, and just plain fun.

But here’s the best part. Tekken 8 ain’t tryin’ to reinvent the wheel. Nah, it’s stickin’ to what works, keepin’ things simple yet oh-so-effective. So whether you’re a seasoned pro or a newbie just getting started, Tekken 8 has got somethin’ for ya.

Micro-transactions: who and when?

Ok, a huge part of the gaming industry is moved to the micro-transactions. Since Bethesda Softworks in 2006 introduces this method (it is a gentle and soft way to call payments, isn’t it?). All other tech companies even outside the gaming industry decided to adopt the same method and communication. Why? Because despite some insults and complaints from players, it works.

A bit of history of Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat ain’t just your average fighting game, it’s a whole freakin’ empire, born outta the minds of Midway Games back in ’92.
Picture this: it all started with that OG Mortal Kombat arcade game, and bam, it blew up like dynamite. Next thing you know, we’re knee-deep in action-adventure games, comic books, card games, films, animated TV series – you name it, Mortal Kombat’s got it. This franchise ain’t messin’ around, man. It’s like the Godzilla of the gaming world, stompin’ through the streets and leaving its mark on pop culture forever.

And let’s talk numbers, shall we? Mortal Kombat ain’t just a game, it’s a freakin’ juggernaut. It’s the best-selling fighting game franchise worldwide, rakin’ in stacks of cash like there’s no tomorrow. We’re talkin’ one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all freakin’ time, baby!

But here’s the kicker, Mortal Kombat ain’t for the faint of heart. Nah, this game series is all about pushing the boundaries, breakin’ the rules, and kickin’ some serious butt. We’re talkin’ graphic violence that’ll make your grandma faint, and fatalities that’ll make you question your existence. It’s controversy central, man, and it’s all part of the ride.

So raise your fists, sharpen your blades, and get ready to enter the arena, ’cause Mortal Kombat ain’t just a game – it’s a freakin’ legend, and it’s here to stay!

Mortal Kombat 12 (1)

It is not a continuation of the Mortal Kombat 11 story. Mortal Kombat 12, we’re divin’ headfirst into a whole new timeline, a whole new story of ass-kicking!

We’re talkin’ about the new Kameo system in Mortal Kombat 1, and let me tell ya, it’s a game-changer. This ain’t your grandma’s fighting game, oh no, this is a whole new level of player expression, a whole new dimension of chaos and creativity.

With the Kameo system, you’re not just playin’ against the rules, you’re breakin’ ’em, shatterin’ ’em into a million pieces. We’re talkin’ about givin’ characters tools they weren’t even designed to have, man. It’s like takin’ a sledgehammer to the status quo and unleashing a whirlwind of wild combos and setups that’ll leave your opponents shakin’ in their boots.

MK 1 also introduces the story mode with many amazing cinematic footage. And believe me, that is what I have finally waiting since long time in a fighting game.

In conclusion

Ok guys, Tekken vs Mortal Kombat! No winner! This is just my personal opinion, and I dont f… care if its matter or not! I love Mortal Kombat since his first release in the early 90s. I also love Tekken since his origin, same in the early 90s. Two different fighting games, two different moods but especially different gameplay in action!

But damn… amazing fun in both cases! Amazing memories to share with other friends… and guys yes… have fun with all games and of course, with fighting games too!
