Society changes to accept violence but to reject skimpy clothing? Sorry but that sounds fucking stupid.
They are completely different things though.
Not really sure why anyone would bat for the old designs, they're ugly as fuck.
Having better costume designs isn't "dialing back" anything. How is having costumes that actually pertain to the different characters' designs and personalities and abilities somehow making the game... worse? If you compared the old male and female designs, it was clear that the guys' costumes just had even a little bit more thought in them. All the women legitimately just looked more or less the same, save for some different colors and different patches of skin getting covered. Personally, while it was fundamentally over-sexualization, I think the issue lies much more squarely in the fact that it's just downright lazy. The old designs just aren't even interesting after a certain point. Blatant partial nudity might've been cool and funny to kids and dudebros in the 90's, but as time goes on I personally don't see the appeal. A lot of the shit is (rightfully so) frowned upon as society changes. It's a lot like how slapstick comedy was probably really awesome in the 1930's and 40's, and maybe when you were a kid; nowadays cartoons have evolved to have super deep lore and increasingly competent writing as has become standard.
As for violence, it clearly still has a place in the market, especially with how Mortal Kombat has been expanding upon the different fun ways to really incorporate it further into the gameplay, giving you more opportunities to see that kind of spectacle throughout fights.
Yeah.

They basically kept using the same damn leotard design from 1 to 9, only changing how much skins was exposed. It wasn't until 10 that they actually added a significant amount of new detail, as well as adding more alternate costumes thane ever before and fixing the fucking awful proportions that plagued the last few games.
By dialled back I meant how they compared to the rest of the game, the skimpy outfits matched how ridiculous everything else was, the game are still are ridiculous but they changed female outfits.
They literally don't and is this the hill you wanna die on?
Christ, don't be so overly dramatic, it's just my opinion on the matter.
It's a dumb opinion and we're just telling you so.
You should know better than use "it's just my opinion" as a defense.
I don't watch his videos anymore because he is black.
Granted playing a bit of devil's advocado here the MK9 variation outfits of Kitana and Mileena were ok for the most part thought that's given how the latter is a perverted clone. Sonya blade has zero reason to look like a cop seen in pornos when freaking Stryker looks normal.
I totally get it though, it's just MK9 did fan-service horribly wrong on top of wonky faces that only Mileena can pull off. MK11 from what I can see still does sexy, but sexy in a way that's still creative and not just "LOOK HOW MUCH SKIN WE'RE SHOWING! WE'RE SO MATURE PUTTING A PRINCESS IN A STRIPPER OUTFIT THAT FANS OF SLAVE LEIA WILL LOVE!"
Fucking hell that gave me a good laugh.
