Every US version of MKX should have every female character in a red white and blue bikini while they hold a Budweiser in one hand and grill the boys a steak with the other. AMERICA.

I'm guessing it hasn't, which is why you have this weird sense of entitlement that leads you to act like you're the only one who should get what they want.

Oh, this again. *Yawn*

Seriously, if it bothers you that much then your best bet is to not play the game or avoid characters and alts you have a problem with. These characters are owned by NRS so NRS should be able to portray them however they please.

Kotal is dressed way more "slutty" than possibly any MK female ever. Shao Kahn was no slouch either. C'mon bruh.

Why are you bothered by something so trivial?

It's just a costume in a video game and, contrary to popular belief, it will not effect anything in the real world.

I hated Kitana's MK9 costumes and Jade's knockers should've had "Goodyear" tattooed across them, but to even consider them as being pornographic is real-l-l-ly stretching it.

Give it a rest.

As many of you may know, I'm not to keen on the MK females dressing like strippers.

It makes it difficult for me to take them seriously and detracts from the overall presentation of the game IMO.

Kitana's primary is clearly pointing in the right direction but some design changes from concept to game are obvious such as the bottom back half of her attire being see through and exposing her full naked butt...that wasn't in the concept art.

Recently I aired my grievances in a respectful tone to a prominent NRS employee on Twitter hoping he would hear me out and for the team to take the story into design consideration.

He told me that the decisions to cover up certain characters up was due to the tone of the story mode, but he told me that I should stay away from some of the alternate outfits for characters like Kitana."confused


So I'm guessing one costume will be practical while others are pornographic? I guess that's what NRS has in mind. I'm not shocked, but I am disappointed.

They want to portray the females characters as strong and empowered but they also insist on them having stripper appropriate attire in their wardrobe for teen boys to beat it to.
You realize you're just arguing about the costume of a FICTIONAL character, right?

There are many other ways to help support women's rights than trolling in a video game forum.

If we're gonna start with the whole they dress like strippers thing...You know who dresses like a stripper? Leon Kennedy, Albert Wesker, Dante from the original DMC, and every dude in a COD game. Anyone who has been to a male strip club knows that they dress like strippers just as much as any of the girls. Kotal Kahn's "outfit" totally looks like something a male stripper would wear. (Not that there is anything wrong with strippers.)

I know it's not the best comparason but my point is that strippers are strippers and video game characters are video game characters. I get the complaints to a point, but story and character wise the women are treated with respect, so the costumes don't bother me that much.

As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about.

This is actually a good idea- Have one "take me serious" primary and one or two "stripper" alts so that everybody is pleased. Why are you complaining? just avoid some of the alts if you don't like them. Oh, and don't forget the DLC skins! The ladies are bound to have some revealing outfits in those as well.

Even when the outfits are more modest than before, some people still have complaints! I don't see why this is such a big deal

I neglected to add that he also told me that one of a certain female's alts will have her in "the most revealing outfit she's ever been in." and I assume it was Kitana he was referring to because she was central to my complaints.

Tell me again about MKX and modesty, please.

Compared to the crap they gave us last game, MKX's outfits seem modest by comparison.

Our definitions of "pornographic" apparently differ. I don't know, it's what it is...if you cannot come to terms with skin, perhaps you're playing the wrong game. Or choose the alt. costume...perhaps place tape over your television to hide the offensive parts? Play blinfolded?? That's all I got.

gtfo with that modesty crap lol. What does "modesty" have to do with how "empowered" someone is? Sindel rektified the whole cast wearing... whatever you would call that lol, and she could have done the same thing in a Burqa if she wanted to. You don't have to be "modest" to deserve respect. For MK characters, it's a "kick your ass and look good doing it" kind of thing. In the other thread like this one, someone said something like the female characters know they're sexy and show off their bodies with their outfits, and they'll still beat you in a fight. I think it shows the confidence they have in themselves.
