On July 4th, I made my first post and art post, in which I thought was normal, about Nightwolf standing at ease in a black backround with a moon that had the style if the U.S.A flag.

The idea of the post was to give light to Native Americans being the true representatives of America and a portrait for a better future for Americans. I'm Trinidadian and it's slightly the same political atmosphere as in the North, so normally I would think, draw or post anything that's positive about mine and other countries.

I can totally understand how it came out very politically blind to some, and I'm not saying they are wrong for thinking bad either. To be fair, it was on my part for not having to more to the synopsis of my post.

All the best to everyone.

I've always felt the next Mortal Kombat game has a great opportunity to shift the focus to a different era of the lore.

I'd love to see Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, Quan Chi, and Shinnok take a back seat. They can absolutely remain playable (even as DLC if needed), but I'd rather they not be the central villains of the story again.

Instead, I'd love the story to fully explore Edenia's royal family and mythology, with characters like Daegon, Delia, and especially Onaga finally getting the spotlight they deserve.

The main heroes could be a new generation of protagonists:

• Kenshi
• Taven
• Shujinko
• Li Mei
• Khameleon

Meanwhile, Rain, Tanya, Chameleon, and a few new Edenian characters could serve as the primary supporting antagonists.

The classic pillars of the franchise: Liu Kang, Raiden, Kung Lao, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kitana, Jade, Sindel, Sonya, Johnny Cage, Jax, and Reptile, would still play major roles, but they wouldn't necessarily have to be the central protagonists this time.

For bosses, I'd love something similar to the structure of the original trilogy

• Blaze as the sub-boss (like Goro)
• Daegon as the secondary boss (like Shang Tsung)
• Onaga as the final boss (like Shao Kahn)
• Delia, another mystery/twist evil character controlling the story

I think this would finally refresh the series while still respecting its legacy and give a lot of underused characters a chance to become fan favorites.

Hello everyone,

​I’m facing a really frustrating situation as a gamer, and I wanted to ask the community for some advice or legal workarounds.

​I live in Ukraine, and as some of you might know, Mortal Kombat 11 is completely region-locked here due to some local legal/symbolism issues. You literally cannot buy it in our regional Steam store—the purchase button just isn't there.

​The thing is, Mortal Kombat is my absolute favorite gaming franchise. I’ve spent so many hours playing the older titles, watching combo guides, and following the story. I am incredibly excited about the story mode in MK11, and I've always dreamed of playing as the iconic guest characters like the Terminator, Joker, Rambo, and Shao Kahn. It makes me really sad that I can't experience all of this just because of where I live.

​I want to clarify that I absolutely do not want to pirate the game—I want to support the developers and play it legally on Steam. However, being a student, I don't have the budget for anything expensive, so switching my entire Steam region or buying from sketchy, overpriced resellers isn't really an option for me.

​I know that the Ultimate Edition (which includes all these amazing DLC characters) often goes on big sales for just a few dollars on global retail sites. Does anyone know a safe, legal way for someone in Ukraine to get and activate a Global Steam Key for MK11 Ultimate? Or is there any other workaround that I might have missed?

​Thank you so much for your help and advice, and I hope you all have a great day!

When you revisit Mortal Kombat 9—the game that revived the most acclaimed franchise and revolutionized console fighting games—you notice certain flaws, or you spot simple solutions that could have prevented massive issues.

That said, the point I want to address today is this: since Raiden claimed to have visions of the past (the original timeline) during *MK9*, why didn't he simply tell Scorpion—after defeating Nightwolf—that it was Quan Chi who murdered the Shirai Ryu and his family?

After all, while he tried to avert the tragedy by promising that sparing Sub-Zero would lead the Elder Gods to resurrect the Shirai Ryu, wouldn't it have been easier to just tell him that the true killer—the one responsible for his own death as well as that of his family and clan—was the very same sorcerer who brought him back to life as a specter from the Netherrealm?

Well, I made a post a while ago about how my laptop couldn't run MK XL due to its specs, but after watching a few videos and reading reviews, I think I might be able to play it? Although maybe at 30 fps at most.

However, of course, I'd like to know just how demanding this game really is in terms of optimization.

I meet the RAM and processor requirements, but not the graphics card requirements. Would that cause any problems?

(Intel i5-5300U, 8 GB RAM, and Intel Graphics HD 5500)

I'm sorry if the post sounds dumb.
