heh, "horror game of it's own", I thought Ravenholm was disliked? As for "horror games in a single level within a normal game"; I'd nominate the first 3 Thief entries for these... that was genuinely creepy scary.. Half Life 1 did the silent protagonist really well.. and it felt like an adventure.. because you really were just a nobody who pushed himself to his very human limits to survive.. it did the story telling through level design really well!
Dunno if I care about how well it holds up today, I'll leave it as a pleasant memory.

Idk if it was disliked or not as I didn't care about the community since I didn't like the game, but that's what the review said iirc. One of my favorite horror sections in a non-horror game was haunted mansion in VtM:B and those fever dream sections in Max Payne 1 and 2 (not sure if these ones count though). I probably should check out Half-Life 1 lol.

How so, Peek-a-(((jew)))? Mortal Kombat is no Street Dumpsterfire, but its not much better these days. Yeah it's turning into Mortal Cuckbat. Mortal Kombat 9 was probably the last one with no wokeness influence, though it's very minimal in MKX. Then MK11 it's gotten more apparent though it's usually not quite as horrible as some games and I'm not bothering with the new "Mortal Kombat 1" They woke-ified Jade of course. While she was definitely at least tanned in her original appearance in MK2, they made her black with a breast reduction and more clothes, though her face is still pretty. The worst offense is they took Frost who was pretty good looking despite the limited polygon count with huge swaying knockers in Deadly Alliance and Armageddon, and turned her into a gender studies major with a double mastectomy looking like King Joffrey. At least they gave Skarlet a really beautiful face, so they're probably making her ugly in "Mortal Kombat 1" if she's in it. What really sucks it's completely obvious that Warner Bros. is completely calling the shots telling NRS to do this shit and what they can't do. While I previously overlooked the double mastectomy part due to Frost being turned into a robot, now I get some impression of sinister grooming kind of like EA putting an upper body with double mastectomy scars in some character creation of The Sims. Just from seeing some video of "Mortal Kombat 1" with its different multiverse of Mortal Kombat characters from other dimensions, I saw there's a female Joan Cage (Don't know her name so I'm just calling her Joan) but at least it's a comedic character, and I think saw a black female Raiden which actually seems like a South Park Panderverse episode style joke. A more interesting one, was some original Mortal Kombat style Sonya but evil with a cybernetic eye in a partially metal skull like Kano. Still not interesting enough for me to give Warner Bros. any more money, and seems a rather brief part of the story. Don't know if those versions of Cage and Sonya are playable. Then some other things just screwing over the players: They said they were going to support MK11 for five years, but dropped it like a rock at two years, canceling another DLC in the works with more characters and an expanded Krypt. Ed Boon, one of the original creators of MK and seemingly the current head of the series and NRS, obviously wanted to do a Shaolin Monks remaster next and Warner Bros. said no. MKX was updated just to advertise shit in MK11. And they introduced a sound bug where the game is silent and you have to go in its steam settings and disable Steam Overlay to get sound back, and they left this shitty bug unfixed ever since. MK11 had an 80GB update just for shit in its in-game store and they did post release censorship such as removing Johnny Cage giving an "OK" sign and him saying Fuck while Rambo still says Fuck much more often. I haven't played it in three years, so maybe they censored more since. I wonder if Cassie still says "Fuck you" in the story mode. Somewhere midway between release and abandonment an update screwed up shadows in the PC version in some visual settings and I don't think they ever fixed it. Then it's noticeable that they slowed down MK11 compared to MKX to appeal to more casual players. And it's retarded how you can do a long overly drawn out Fatal Blow sequence just by being low on life, so you see and have to wait through the same repeated sequences almost every freaking round. So just screw Warner Bros. NRS might get some of money again when they regrow their balls.

I stopped caring about Red Faction after Red Faction 2.

lol (current day)Frost x Joffrey likeness is truly something to behold. More reasons to finish her with a good poison in my books. But let's be fair here Gokuma; we do have other, better looking skins/gear to hotten that icy gal up. As long as the devs don't severely restrain the customization for pandering points I'm more than fine with whatever design choices they have in store.
While the amount of jewishness I've got from the gene pool prevents me from buying the third 1st MK for the time being, I do think that Alabama-man simulators in general (oldschool and modern alike) have the high ground on being particularly immune to any touch of wokeness. 'cause at the end of the day: you'll still bound to hurt, maim or terminate your opponent regardless of their made-up gender or fashion. And it's not like the narrative/storyline in this genre matters as much as in some post-apocalyptic vidja ridden with vegan zombies.
Boon knows what cards to play in order to sell his stuff - he never goes full-retard. In the recent-past all females had to look like something straight outta Kontra's twerking gifs. We still have that more-or-less but now with a flavour of college-campus Wakanda Forever nonsense. I don't mind tho. Eddy's already gone the lazy route with multiverse shenanigans a long time ago. The reboots galore full-throttle. All that matters to me is for his team to deliver a decent punch-out passtime to stop me from starting barfights on wednesdays (and MK11 succeeded on that front).
To end; appeasing casuls with undemanding mechanics sucks, I do agree. Such's pretty much a given nowadays even tho there's always gonna be a fair deal of intricacies to distinguish that sort from the hobos pros.

I'm pretty sure Jade was always black since MK2

They freaking delisted MK9 (Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition) from Steam (which Jade and Sheeva are somewhat light-skinned in, at least some costumes). If you already have it, you can still play it, but no one can buy it anymore. Main theories include rights to Freddy Krueger expiring with supposedly Warner Bros losing them to Wes Craven Estate, or that the game is blasphemy to the modern church of wokeness with all the scantily clad women with female faces and large boobs with jiggling physics. They all got reductions in MKX. Maybe it's the combination of these reasons. MK9 is the only game with Cyber Sub-Zero so says goodbye to that. I definitely should disable automatic updates in case they make ever an update to remove Freddy or some character costumes, or otherwise screw it up. There is a way to revert to earlier versions from a Steam repository, but I'd rather not have to go through the trouble figuring it out for this game. Seems a lot of MK fans are hating on the new "Mortal Kombat 1" as woke trash, however it is faster paced than MK11, more like MKX. I still have no interest in it.
