Huh, I guess the previous one did well enough for them to make a sequel. I'm surprised by this. I thought it was a waste of time, but whatever.

Fell pretty much the same. I tried watching the last one and I feel there's more story in the games which to me is a bit surprising. Ultimately got numbed by all the action and turned it off.

MK9 got praise as a key example of how to bring story to the forefront in a fighting game, and 10-12 continued that. MK series has already been rich with lore, but starting with 9 they figured out how to use that lore to present a decent story. I'm not good at fighting games so I play the MK story modes as far as I can before the difficulty stops me, and then I just go on YT and watch the rest of the story. Watching videos of the MK9, 10 and 11 story modes has proven to be a far better movie than any of the MK movies or other media.
