I'm not really keeping like a score or anything, but judging from what I've experienced, I'm leaning heavily towards MK11 being the lesser of all evils in the entire NRS era. But that still leaves the question on where Mortal Kombat 2023 falls. Do you really wanna know?? I don't think you do!!

Mortal Kombat 2023 is Dominic's failed experiment, and it is the absolute worst thing ever created by humans and AI alike! EVERYTHING seen and heard, and even played with, is all run by lifeless machines both organic and metal! The trailer was even more deceiving than Damashi and Shang Tsung combined! The plot in both MK 2023 and Khaos Reigns is just as stale and more irritating than watching paint dry while being strapped to a cot!! In fact it's almost predictable with perception since the asinine test was enraging and worthless, jumping to the conclusion the Lin Kuei's the root of all evil since Conquest!! No matter since Bi-Han became treacherous as Frost and churned to Noob Saibot again as expected!! There's been no respect to the characters whatsoever, not even with their goddamn power levels, especially concerning Geras against the umbrakinetic abomination!! Hell, they even ripped off Khaos Reigns' climax with Lollipop Chainsaw!! And death doesn't seem to be allowed, with Liu's integrity as weak as he was sparing Shang in DC and 9, just as the Great Kung Lao did!! I HATE THE NEVER SAY DIE RULE!!
"I hate this machine!!" Lev, Armageddon
And it doesn't stop there because they abused the fuck out of DEI making the kickass cyborgs deplorable as women!! Even Iron Man and Smoke can do a better job!! Sindel is just as mentally deranged as in the other games, and Tarkat was just a retarded ripoff of COVID, whereas they're supposed to be demon/Outworlder hybrids! If I wiped myself during my period with my MK Khronology printouts and mailed it to Netherrealm Studios, they definitely get greenlit faster than even with Teen Titans GO!!
Liu could've just erased his adversaries from existence, including this AI-infested abomination!! Hell, in the climax, he was reduced to demigod status as he was struck by the Hourglass during the mentally retarded Marvel multiverse, making me think he'd die soon and the whole Matrix simulation can just crumble like using the Hourglass without Kronika's crown! I was thinking like, What is going on with Liu Kang here?? Like that's how desperate I was to end this madness; to wish for a fucking system crash like the Season 3 finale in ReBoot or the Moon crashing in Majora, or even the destruction in FFXIV!!
I'll give it this much, some of the Kombatants were actually decent, such as Geras, Syzoth, Baraka, and even Ashrah despite the toned-down sex appeal. And the kiss while brief was just the only emotional incident in this shitfest. Everyone ELSE are just balls of constipated shit! I just wish I could give a shit wtf was going on like I always do, even taking Defenders of the Realm, Annihilation and MK11 seriously! And even THEY are more tolerant than with anything being made in MK's 2nd dark ages since 1997! Good thing John Tobias wasn't involved and his absence shows! And what the fuck happened with Liu Kang's voice?? Where's the badassery he had since his ascension in MK11???
quote Liu Kang's introduction
The same thing that happened to Ilia, I guess.
compare human Ilia to V'Ger probe
New era... More like new error!! MK 2023 is the Sonic 06 of the entire franchise! It's one of the main culprits aside from Dismal Disney causing the devastating writer and actor strikes!! It's the baby food that's been stuck in a person's stomach over 15 fucking years! Pffp, I went there. I won't give any of the actors credit since it's all done by robots anyway!!
Its gameplay is stiff as cancer legs; its graphics and voices are glaring and emotionless as the characters in Sonic's darkest hour! It should be in the Hall of Shame along with 06, Superman 64, and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde! It's the microtransaction motherfuck that just feeds the retarded bums taken off the streets and developing it!! I had more fun creating my Khronology's tedious Konquests! I'd rather edit a large portion of the Fan Fiction wiki such as Pokemon and their Trainers! I'd rather watch Liutana make love at the Dawn of Time!
I'd rather have Woker Bros self-destruct and sell out Mortal Kombat and Looney Tunes before facing corporate destruction like 4Kids! I'd rather watch Sonic 06 from start to finish! This is a phony, deceitful bundle topped with Saberspark's toxic semen! I'd rather dismiss at as a trippy nightmare like from the ending of the Devi's Advocate! And reiterate Lord Liu Kang as he should be with the REAL MK12 TRAINING THE GREAT KUNG LAO! Their fans are just as mentally deranged and psychotic as the Gen-wunners in Pokemon's Red and Blue Era! I'd rather see the world end for reals! I'd rather have it be ruled by Revenants! This accursed retardation is the prime example how college snobs have no heart and are just picked up FROM THE STREETS! Probably all Demoncrats too!! I'd rather have them and their blind, greedy Patreon pussies be thrown into mental asylums and have their heads to be shown IN ROWS OF PIKES!!
