They wouldn't. That partnership ended when they botched the original PC release.

Earth to Boon, once you desert a player base on a platform they're not going to have any interest in returning to your game

*fingers crossed*

Please don't let MKXL PC be disastrous

Please don't let MKXL PC be disastrous

If PC gets exclusive content that console doesn't I'll be pissed

my initial response would be to have Noob Saibot... but that'd ruin a really cool "im back bitches" moment for him in MK11 (especially now that the netherrealm has new rulers, plus smoke is still Enenra and would leave an awesome possibility of the return of Noob-Smoke!!)

Jade wont be it... for obviously reasons (screw u kitana's mournful)

So that leaves some obvious left overs...

The already-alluded to Story Pack:
Rain
Sindel
Baraka
Fujin (hopefully!!!!!)

That makes the most sense to me, as they do not have to come up with any new costumes and just do some MOCAP and record a "few" more intro dialogues.

I might bite my tongue on this, but Fujin was last on my list b/c i dont see them using him just yet.... now that we have dark raiden back, we can finally see Fujin take over the "responsible" role of protecting earthrealm in MK11 (which was SUPPOSED to happen after MK4 until we got MKDA's junk). It leaves open the possible long fan-awaited fude between Raiden and Fujin like a good cop vs bad cop scenario.

MKXL PC should be free considering us PC gamers already paid for our "season passes" for all DLC. If NRS/WB expects me to shell out more cash for something i technically paid for already, i'll give a big FUCK U middle finger and dip out.

oh plz...

and i'll be pissed if MKXL doesnt come out for pc - OH WAIT A MINUTE...................

Seems like a pretty odd time to go back to this particular well. Then again, it seems odd that Boon would do character polls and hint at KP3 as well. I'll be really curious to see the kind of reception MKXL PC would even get this far after initial release and given the previous MKX PC issues.

But it is coming out?

The timing is most likely due to the sheer amount of work they had to do to get the PC version up to scratch with the consoles. But yeah, literally anything Boon posts there are people crying about MKXL not being on PC. It's good that they're going out of their way to fix it but I imagine people are still going to complain when they have to pay for the extra content.

This made me giggle.

I personally think they will anyway, to compensate for the long wait. Like possibly extra skins or something else along those lines. I don't see them adding more characters.

If they want to do PC exclusives, just make them free for PC but still available for purchase on consoles.

That's right up WB'$ alley.

I could live with this, as long as I'm able to get it

No way the "PC Masterrace" should get more stuff

No. It absolutely should NOT be free.

You already received everything that comes in the season pass if you paid for it. MKXL content is entirely separate and is part of "Kombat Pack 2". There is nothing you did or did not receive that didn't also come as part of the initial release of MKX on consoles with the first Kombat Pack, except MAYBE a costume or two, I don't know. But saying the XL upgrade should be free is nonsense...if it wasn't free for console players, it shouldn't be free for PC players.

Look, I get it. PC gamers are mad. It sucks that it did not continue to get support. But seriously, shit happens. Life is a mother fucker and it's going to be full of disappointments and tragedies that are much, much worse than having to wait a few months more than console players for an upgrade to MKX. If this event was so traumatic, just wait 'til reality hits. The PC release was botched because High Voltage sucks. WB and NRS know this. They acknowledged it. They care enough about the fan base to say "You know what? That's unacceptable. They'll have to wait longer but we WILL get them MKXL." Despite the PC market historically being the least profitable for the MK series and fighting games in general, they cared enough in the first place to port it over, and now after the port failed, to find a way to repair the damage.


I love PC gaming. It's been my preferred platform for many years, but when it comes to MK i'm going console over PC in a heartbeat. I was saddened for my fellow PC Gamers but I'm glad to see NRS owning up. However, the sense of entitlement is legendary in the worst possible way. So again, no. PC Gamers had to wait a long ass time in the dark with very little in the way of answers, other than the acknowledgement that the conversion was botched. In the end, that no way entitles them to a free MKXL upgrade or exclusive content. Sorry, but alienating one part of the fan base to appease the other is not the answer and never has been, especially when the portion of the fan base that would be getting this is so marginal and niche. PC players must pay like everyone else...frankly I don't care how long they had to wait or how frustrating it was.

There's maybe ONE PC player for every 1000 console players. PC portion of the fan base is negligible yet is still getting the MKXL update. Consider it a very lucky turn of events.

When you say THE "Final Pack" news...

That hasn't been confirmed in any way, shape, or form by your buddy, right?

Just wishful thinking?

Update!

Boon just posted, "I miss the Olympics...#MKXL"

and attached this picture...


Balance patch, BOYZ!!!

Sadly no - he's been dark for a while now. Frankly I haven't really been on battle.net that much recently which is the only place I ever really see him, but he's been offline for weeks. My assumption is that any Kombat Pack or DLC that arrives within the next few months is probably the final round of DLC. MKXL, despite still being tournament heavy, is at the end of its lifecycle.

I hope there's at least a couple extra skins to go with the patch. I don't mind if we don't get any extra characters but a couple of klassic skins to accompany it would be nice.

Agreed. Some Deadly Alliance skins would be great.

I still believe KP3(in some way, shape, or form) is coming. He's slowly dropping big hints at everything he's been polling people about lately, and KP3 won out on one of them. *fingers crossed

am I the only one who feels as though this is "too little too late?"

As much as I support MK on PC... I'm not willing to buy MKXL anymore. I'm just not... I'm over this game aside from making MKX-based sprites.

Maybe. Good will is good will, though. If they want to regain the trust of the PC master race, actions speak louder than this...

So... I should expect PC versions to always be the last platform to get content... and months too late? How is that an incentive?

In the future it means they probably won't outsource the project. If they are going to release it on PC, they'll do the work in house.

I imagine this whole thing has been a learning curve for NRS, maybe even WB.
