Looking forward to MKX, but Story Mode hype is dead

posted04/06/2015 01:47 AM (UTC)byswerzyI gather a large majority of people know what happens in story mode. If you don't, then I'd leave if you don't want to know spoilers.
So, MKX's Story Mode has only 12 Chapters compared to MK9's 16. This in itself is extremely disappointing, but the final nail in the koffin is the fact that more than half the roster won't be getting a chapter of their own, including several of the resurrected characters. I just recently saw the ending and it's very 'meh' and the mid-credits scene is also 'meh'. Shinnok is the big-bad and is also the unlockables character. Again, a lack-luster attempt ar trying to be 'creative'.
These faults have 100% killed my hype for Story Mode, but I'm still incredibly excited to play the game and find all the other secrets. I was wondering if anyone else felt the same way so that I know I'm not the only one de-hyped

I think its a disgrace myself so lazy, next gen consoles, you would think there would be a bigger story, and as for the unlockable character? Absolutely criminal.. And the final chapter being Cassie is scandalous..

How, exactly? It's been clear she was the protagonist since the story trailer....
They wanted a new generation of fighters... made them... inevitably that new generation would feature the next 'champion' of sorts... Cassie was the first of that generation and has been the most promoted.... She's the daughter of two loved characters, and has obviously had a lot of effort put into her...
Where's the scandal exactly? Is it because you don't like her?

I think I'll hold off until Tanya, Or A Second Pack with Baraka (who got a shit deal in this game but can be rectified by playing as him one last time) and Dead Man Talking Havik.
Or if Reptile has a couple more alts that includes those concepts that were shown.
......So I think I'll just wait until Tanya.

Please explain to me what gives Cassie the right to be the hero of the game and why she would even posses such power to defeat shinnok? Please enlighten me.

Better than the others. I just hope this gives Cassie enough credibility to fully replace Johnny and Sonya.

The right to be a hero?
Dude... it's a fictional story. The writers get to pick whoever they please to be the hero and 'possess such power'. Nobody gets the 'right' to be a hero - they just decide who they want to be the protagonist.
If Cassie isn't your cup of tea, good on you. I never cared for Liu Kang but still like the story, both old and new. I'm sure you'll survive the utter scandal of Cassie being the final victor.
I told everyone this game would suck dick, everyone called me negative...its rubbish
from the shit house fatalities, to the fucking horrible roster, to the unimaginative shit house storymode...
MSG TO ED BOON!
IF YOU SPENT HALF AS MUCH TIME ON MORTAL KOMBAT X AS YOU DID SCORPION, YOU MAY ACTUALLY MAKE A GOOD GAME!

Same. I think the story and the game in general is transitional. They definitely eased us into it with the roster but like MK2011 the set up for the next game is huge and promising. Better than the others. I just hope this gives Cassie enough credibility to fully replace Johnny and Sonya.
I haven't seen the entirety of story mode but I loved everything I did see. We can't expect every single character to get a chapter when all they consist of is four fights and hardly any deaths. I think they did a great job with the story, personally.

A fictional story? No shit I didn't say it wasn't, alls I'm saying is that they have picked the wrong character to conclude the story on. Your clearly a sonya/Cassie fanboy so i guess your happy with how it's all panned out

I've only seen the first 2 chapters of MKX and in my opinion i thought it was pretty incredible. I really like what I've seen so far. Not sure why there's so much butthurt in these forums the past couple of days.

I'm not being a dick when I say this, but what is exactly the set up? I honestly don't know where MK11 is going and I'd love to know what the mid-credits scene means for future MK games. If I knew where they were going I might appreciate story mode a lot more.

I hate to use the phrase 'butt-hurt' but it's one of the few times I find it appropriate...
If all you wanted to say was 'I wish someone else was the protagonist'... you wouldn't have said 'right to be the hero'.... 'Right' implies something far more than just 'I don't want her to be the protagonist', and it's very odd to read. Again, they're fictional characters, none of them have the 'right' to anything.
And as a Sonya fanboy you'll find I"m not happy with how a lot of things have turned out, but I"m not fussed that Cassie is the protagonist, nor that I'll ahve to play as plenty of characters I don't like to do story mode. I'll survive

Man you seriously need to shut the hell up.everyone gets that you don't like the game even though you never played it.but understand that nothing changes because the biggest whiner on a forum say such derogatory things about a video game,most of which is just an absurd opinion.everyone else will enjoy the game while you and the league of excessive whiners continue bitching and crying on this forum and other social media outlets.if you are a grown man/woman ranting this bad over a video game then God help you.we know you're going to buy the game anyway so whatever.
im actually not....i have no intention of spending money on a game i find no interest in...
i wont touch half the roster, and the roster is the replayablity.
i wont touch jax, kitana, lk,kl,cassie, jacquie, sonya, cage, ermac... its just a huge cluster fuck...
im a massive fan of the franchise, hence why im so salty, they fucked up what could have been the best mk ever...

AN ONLINE FORUM does not even represent the community or Mortal Kombat fans as a whole. Just because half of this forum or another doesn't like the game doesn't mean the MAJORITY of fans who don't post on forums like it. The game is already gold so no, THAT TELLS YOU SOMETHING.

All those sites you mentioned together won't even be 1% of the people who will buy the game, and these people sure love Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Kung Lao, Kitana and Jax.
And get ready because they will all return in the next game.
