Isn't two months after release a little soon to be making these kinds of assumptions either way? And if the character releases for KP1 are slow, could that possibly be because each character is practically three characters in one, and requires more work in graphics and sound design and motion capture and voice acting than the DLC characters of any other game to date? (And all this for the same price per character as in previous games?)

Maybe if more people were inclined to watch the credits at the end of the game just once instead of skipping over them, we might collectively have a little more respect for the whole project and the hundreds of actual living people who devoted thousands of hours of their lives to creating it, and maybe have a little less entitled bitching over problems that don't even exist yet.

Boon's Twitter shows that they are at least entertaining the idea of a KP2. So there's that. But if they would rather devote their resources to making the next game even bigger and rest on their laurels on MKX, that's their prerogative and they bloody well deserve it.


The white knight, fanboy dick riding of this post is enough to make us all chafe for weeks just by reading it. Stahp. You love NRS and don't love things that don't love NRS, we get it. Unfortunately people are allowed to speculate on a second KP even if that means expressing their doubts. Try not to take it personal, nobody at NRS would.

You act like they did it out of the goodness of their heart.

They did it because it's their job and to make money.

I'm alright of they don't do a KP2. If and only if we get at least two more characters.

But if we end up with a KP2, for the love of the Elder Gods, hold the guest characters.

God forbid you can't love what you do AND the profit you get from it. I simply said "Its a business"- that doesn't mean they have cold hearts and nothing but dollar signs on their minds. But a business is a business.

Who cares if we don't get a second kombat pack. As long as they throw in baraka and fujin then that would be just fine.

I'm not sure when, how, or why the title of "white knight" became an insult. But in any case I would rather be one of those, than the sort of person who devotes so much passion and energy to... trashing things that they like? Or whatever bullshit is always happening here. Perhaps consider that when I along with some of the most reasonable people on the boards decide to speak on the developers' defense, maybe it's not we who are the problem.

Again, I believe it is necessary to point out that the problem that the OP is complaining about does not factually exist, but is being treated as if it were some matter of great urgency. Seriously, this is the most intensive DLC package they've offered to date, but ALL HOPE IS LOST!! because they're releasing content slower than you'd like? Please, somebody tell me that I'm not the only one who thinks this is ridiculous.

Laughable, the moment you acknowledged you feel the need to defend NRS, as to protect the feelings of a business, every chance of having a productive discussion was lost, not everything that isn't praise is "trashing", and sorry to burst your bubble but "artistic types" are the minority, clearly missing the fact there a hundred of jobs outside designing, everyone else (probably with them included) do it for the money, because it's profitable business, and there's nothing wrong about it,

I agree with the guy above, id rather be a fanboy/dWhite Knight than a constantly complaining prick that's never happy or satisfied with anything.

Nothing wrong with criticism or saying you don't like certain things but there really are some people that seem like they literally only have negative things to say all of the time lol

There's no way it's not happening. We need Sareena as a playable character after all.
I'm pretty sure the deciding factors of doing one will be only two things: 1. That it's technically possible to do and 2. That the first pack makes money.


Its a business so money will always be the main goal. Much like with movies, if it makes money there will be a sequel. I've read a few times that they've made the game big enough to accomadate dlc. I'm just hoping that dlc will be fighters and not 356 scorpion skins.


I would suggest if you really want a KP2 you go show them you want it by supporting kp1 with the only thing they really care about, money

I wouldn't mind not having a 2nd Pack if Boon stopped with all the lying [there's trolling and there's just flat out lying] and the pack gave us characters we wanted not 2 MK characters and 2 guest characters that weren't needed.

I agree with you on the guest characters. To me, they were a waste of time and resources that could have been used on real MK characters. I honestly hope, we NEVER see any guest characters again.

On the topic of the Kombat Pack 2, Batman Arkham Knight KILLED MKX's online population on the PS4. I was playing yesterday, only the Black Dragon room was full, with around 93 people in it. The rest of the four faction's rooms were pretty much empty.

Even in this lame new timeline, Sareena could have easily been in the game, Yet again, she is glossed over. At the same time, I am glad current writers haven't ruined her character yet, much like most of the other things in MK at this point. If there is a Kombat Pack 2, I honestly hope it is 100% MK related.

I am glad, I didn't spend $29 on the Kombat Pack. Most of the bonus skins are lame. The horror pack wasn't my taste. The classic Sonya and the incorrectly labeled MK1 Liu Kang skins interest me. I didn't care for Jason or Predator. Jason was only popular to use, only for like two weeks. After that, now I rarely see him online. Tanya fits right in. Tremor is going to be great.
