I still think it's because they wanted to try out a new gameplay system on next gen technology and wanted to use tried and true characters with a few 3D characters to make sure they could really hammer out good ideas for them within the new system.

Sort of like Deadly Alliance having mostly MK1/2 characters and some new ones in addition to Quan Chi.

The next game will have your Smokes, Jades, Fujins, Reikos, Haviks, Ashrah's, etc

Deadly alliance is the only MK game to introduce about 11-12 new characters with unique and cool personalities to them, Sure you had your Hsu Haos, but I personally thought some characters from that game are pretty unique. something MKX lacks, Outside of a few characters MKX is no where near unique in terms of character variety.

Sure Kotal Kahn is awesome, Sure D'vorah is great. Ferra/Torr was a great one in my book, Although I still think Noob/Smoke did it better , Erron Black who is pretty cool in my book as well.

But come on, Who else do we have? Raiden from Metal Gear Solid(That's Takeda.), Green Arrow? And not to forget Random Kickboxer chick #5931.

Oh Oh I actually almost forgot, We have a special forces girl but she is unique because of her parents.

"Okay... What does she do that's unique?"

"Well she has some of her father's moves and some of her mother's moves(Mostly looks not moves)."

"So how in the HELL is she unique?"

"I will tell you..."*Thinks deeply* "She has GUNS :D."

"You mean the thing that sets her apart is the fact that she is Stryker if he had boobs and came out of Sonya's Pandora box?"

"I guess, Bye Bye" *Runs far away*.

In DA we had Mavado, A guy who uses fucking elastic whips to kick your ass. People hated how Mavado looked. I, on the other hand thought he looked quite good, sure his design could have used some work but his early concept arts were pretty good. But still the damn guy is unique.

You have Bo' Rai Cho, A master martial artist, but he rather just beat you by farting and puking all over the place, Again unique.

Not to forget Kenshi, One of the best characters in the series introduced in MK:DA, Actually it's really not fair because Kenshi was made from the started to look like a badass and that's what he is. Blind but still able to fight and kick some ass. Again UNIQUE.

Nitara, Sure she failed as a character for some reason, but her story even though a rip-off from every other Vampire movie, still was quite, entertaining and a nice entry in the MK universe. UNIQUE.

Frost, People always just shit all over Frost because she is a "Subby Female", Not really though. If people were not soooo shallow and gave her an actual chance, they'd see that first her gameplay is different and her story is actually quite good, UNIQUE!!!!!.

We also have Drahmin, People would consider him the worst, but I personally think he is a character that could have been something, But again shallow people only saw that he has bugs flying around him and judged him based on that. Now we will never see this UNIQUE character again.

Even fucking Moloch looked... Generic as hell. But that's exactly what everybody in MKX is. They are all Moloch!

GIVE ME BACK MY 3D ERA CHARACTERS. OR FOR GOD SAKE ADD SOME UNIQUE ONES LIKE KOTAL KAHN,D'VORAH AND FERRA/TORR.

Also here come the people complaining about complaining

If you're referring to me, then truth be told, I'm starting to make my peace with the complaining. I think the level of complaining is way out of proportion, but it can't be helped, so whatever.

What I am taking issue with is that this exact same question has come up multiple times in each of the previously existing complaint threads, and OP is clearly aware of that, so I'm not sure why this warrants a whole new thread that will inevitably cover all of the same arguments from every side.

It's redundant to the point of being self-parody.

Love people that come on threads just to complain about the thread itself!!! If you don't like the topic ie: more roster complaining or more questions about 3d characters it is very simple if you don't have anything to add to the thread then don't bother. Just because some are happy with the roster doesn't mean we all are and we all have a right to complain and air our grievances on this forum if you don't like it don't come back!

Now onto my disappointment for lack of 3d characters! I can understand how NRS may be concerned about the new variation system and apparent new direction they are heading with this game being responsible for so called "safe" roster choices but then why take a chance on new characters? There is a fine line between safe and boring and I think NRS crossed that line here into boring. Even if they didn't want to bring to many 3d characters back they could have made some better trilogy character choices such as Noob, smoke, Cyrax, sektor, Shang, kabal any would have been better then the same re-treaded special forces characters we keep getting

This whole thread has nothing to add. If we're going to advocate people's right to complain, well, I'm exercising mine.

If you're still pissed about the roster, keep on piling up the hate in the Official Roster Rage Thread until it racks up like 200 pages or something. Then tweet it to NRS. That would send a real message.

But how can you really expect people to "ignore it if we don't like it" when the hate keeps getting rubbed in our faces, over and over again? There is almost no refuge on this forum for people who actually want to enjoy the game, or even just to enjoy talking about it. Talking about this game in any capacity is just too damn frustrating anymore, because even threads that weren't created to talk about the roster end up getting hijacked.

And that's not a problem the studio created. We did, as a community. That's kind of sad, isn't it?
