Unfortunately I don't have 200 dollars to tie up, or I would do this.

Refunds can be a pain in the ass some times! I suppose if you do it with cash it'd be much better. Maybe I'll be more financially sound by the time this game comes out.


Gahhhhh! But I don't wanna drive so far to get Sub-Zero, but he's my favorite! Fuuuuuuuuuck. The amount of gas I'd eat up makes it not worth it...

*sigh* I really hope reptile's and scorpion's DLC becomes available soon after the release, I hate not having a complete game, especially when the content is good.



I don't think this game will ever be complete....

I believe Batman Arkham Asylum for PS3 had exclusive content where you could play as the Joker.
That never came to 360.

OK, so after reading the e-mail containing the details of the various editions, I'd like to say the following:

1- I will be upgrading to the Kollector's Edition and will be hitting the Amazon and/or eBay markets to try to get a fight stick separately. I'd rather have the Scorpion/Sub-Zero figurines and the art book, as I don't trust my skills with an arcade stick.

2- Furthermore, why make what's in each edition mutually exclusive apart from the free DLC? Oh, that's right, they want us to buy both the KE and the TE. More tease, more dollars. Any decision to make multiple special editions with varying content (and by that I mean that one edition has A, the other has B, not one has A and the other has A and B, which is what companies who actually... never mind, I'm not going to say it) is another red flag thrown in my face that this is a money grab. I'm certain that there are people on this site who will buy both the KE and the TE. I won't be one of them. At least Bungie has gotten it right with Halo 2, 3, and Reach.

3- Great, I pre-ordered at GameStop months ago. I'm stuck with Scorpion. I've been asking for a return to the human outfit for Reptile for YEARS, and now I'm locked into getting Scorpion because I didn't order at Amazon. Not that I dislike Scorpion or anything, but come on, really? RAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGE.

4- Kratos isn't DLC. Sonofabitch.

5- At least #3 means I'll have the Toasty in my game. Actually, this has to mean that the Spine Rip we saw was the Best Buy exclusive, I mean what else could be Sub-Zero's "original" fatality? Sub will have another fatality that we haven't seen yet, that has to be true. As for Reptile, I hope his "original" is the Invisible Slice, but I highly doubt it.


You aren't locked in. You can cancel your preorder and they'll refund your money. I've done that before at gamestop. I actually preordered a game I didn't want just for the (credit bonus). Then I canceled it and kept the extra money lol :D


Not sure where you're from, but GameStops around my parts don't let you cancel pre-orders, much less move money around between different pre-orders without giving you a hard time. The two GameStops that I frequent are full of pricks, but I go there because they're convenient.

ughm I would have to look it up because I could have sworn I eventually saw it on the xbox dlc but like a year after it came out around when the GOTY edition came out. I am not exactly sure about that one though

Heres my complaint

Exclusive skins only to retailers? WTF

I can accept figures and box art and other misc crap as retailer excusives. But Classic Reptile, Scorpion and Sub-Zero skins should be avaliable to all editions furious

Other companies aren't, though, it's really just Capcom. Bungie has always knocked their special editions out of the park by giving fans awesome value for the money and by not having to pick between things. Treyarch did the same with Black Ops. At least we got the same content with MKA regardless of where we bought the special edition from, all that was different was the artwork on the case. If I'm missing a glaring example here, please enlighten me, but I don't see why game companies that have engaged in this type of thing can't just suck it up and make the bonus material and pricing fan-friendly.


Ain't just Capcom. That whole Juggernaught scandal was ridiculous with MUA 2. If I remember correctly, EA restricted an entire mode of play with Army of Two:40th Day for a month to players who didn't pre-order.

It doesn't really matter how many there are, though. It's bullshit.

I'm all for pre-order bonuses, as long as they're memorabilia. But when it's significant in-game content. That's just incredibly fucked up. It just goes to show you how much this industry is willing to sell out.

I understand that companies need money to survive, but lets be fucking serious here. Before this generation, there was no in-game pre-orders restricted content. Companies would be just fine without it.

We're just gonna keep bending over, and they're just gonna keep looking for new ways to siphon our wallets and creating prerequisites for things we've had unconditionally in the past.

I remember not getting a solid date for MKDs release here until about 2 weeks before it came out. That sucked donkey balls.


I highly doubt that the Tournament Edition will be £70, you know how it goes over here! :P I remember the Tekken 6 Arcade Stick edition costing over £100 brand new in GAME?

Brutal Legend has one. It's just a skin for the character's guitar that makes Tenacious D related sound clips play.

But as a huge Tenacious D fan, and a guy who didn't even know there was a preorder bonus and just waited and bought the game when it came out, my disappointment will apparently be eternal.

Wow. Great news and disappointing at the same time.

Scorpion's Toasty Fatality confirmed not to be in the game (unless you pay for it).
Scorpion's quick horrible fatality is here to stay.

Avatar Awards are obviously not gonna make it in the 360 version. :(

I'm not saying you're wrong, but which description are you talking about? Only one i've seen is on the press release and all it says is "portable", which I don't equate to wireless as a wired controller is still portable.

Would be really odd if they do go wireless especially when noting "Tournament Edition", as almost all tournament players tend to prefer a wired controller to play.

Fine print on back of MK box

* Does not come with any costumes, fatalities, moves, or plot for Scorpion, Sub Zero, and Reptile unless pre-ordered.
* Does not feature any characters or content beyond the PAX build, in order to make ample dev resources available for Kratos' development.
* [PS3 Only] - Every third match the game auto selects Kratos for both players. * Every time DLC is introduced it is auto-downloaded and charged to your credit card on file or siphoned from your nearby surroundings via MK (Money Kollector) VAC technology.

Seriously you guys. 20 minutes ago this game was a tribute to the greatest MK ever. Two TOTALLY FREE opportunities later, NRS has betrayed the law. WTF is wrong with fandom?

Dude, that's not the Euro sign. That's a pound sign, as in British money, £? It's different to the Euro... To be honest, you Americans/Canadians are lucky, you get videogames at a cheaper price compared to our exchange rates and currency values.

...

It's because for all the talk about this being a fan service tribute to the first three games via retelling, we now have nothing like it. We have Kratos, we have exclusives and options and DLC that is anti-fan, pro-bankroll, and fatalities that we have to pay for. You tell me what's wrong with this picture. I'm not going to walk away from this game in a huff, but as a lifelong fan of this series, each new "update" being made to what we know of this game makes it increasingly more difficult for me to keep a straight face when I tell my friends that this game is going to kick ass and that they should all buy it too.

I apologize, sir, that my opinion differs from yours, because clearly that's your problem.

People have been criticizing this game since it was announced and oversimplification makes for a crappy argument.
