And I'm not talking about chess kombat or any other minigames.

If there's one thing that upset me a lot of MK2011 was how quickly the ladder mode ended. Over 30 characters and you fight what? 10? And then the fight ends with the handicapped Shao Kahn? And by handicapped I mean he has to have pre-programmed advantages over you that takes cheapness to the next level, rather than giving you a genuine challenge. But that's another rant for another thread...

I'd like to see Choose Your Destiny mode return. So if I want to fight the entire cast of characters I can. I'd also like to see Endurance from MK4 where you keep fighting on the same health bar, or the variation where you get a little health back here and there.

What I'd like most is something like Virtua Fighter where you fight up the ranks until your fingers bleed. With little to no one playing online, and in a desperate need of a long-lasting playing experience with the exclusion of cheap boss characters, this would have fit my current needs in MK2011. And let's be honest, there are too many quitters online that it ruins the flow.

I didn't mind challenge tower, but forcing me to play as a character I hate and/or am not good with ruins the experience.

Anyone else?

You have a point, I really would love to see more game modes especially Choose Your Destiny it's fucking amazing I loved it but too bad it was only in a few MK games and never made it to later installments because it's fast to finish a ladder with only 10 fighters including the cheap asshole shao kahn LOL.

I wouldn't mind having more modes either. After seeing everyone's results in the countdown thread in asking if they would like to see "choose your destiny" to come back, a lot said that they want to. I agree with them, I would definitely love to choose my own ladder again.

I'd like to fight more than five characters before reaching the bosses, especially if this game is ranging with a large number of characters.

It also wouldn't hurt to have a mini game in between some matches either.

Im confused.... Are you saying you wish less ppl played online? Or are you saying there are none? There is basically none for virtua fighter online.... Only hardcores rarely.... For mk however ive never have issues finding fights unless its like 3-6am. The game been out for like 3 and 1/2 years and still ive seen hundreds of ppl play mk online each day. Plus its still a healthy mix of veteran advanced players and new players. Ppl r still buying mk9. Mk online is far from dead. I mean its been better than any other fighter as far as online life span is concerned. I mean i love DOA a lot cuz doa4 is awesome but i havent bothered getting doa5 cuz mk9 still keeps me plenty busy. Its not like other "old" fighters that only get 10-20 ppl playing online daily barely staying alive online, or those that are basically dead online.... No mk9 online is still thriving. 360, ps3, and pc combined im pretty sure there is over 1000 gamers playing mk9 everyday. Ok back on topic..... I wouldnt mind more modes... Now they got a good fight engine i wouldnt mind them spending resources and time on adding gameplay variation. The choose ur destiny thing.... Sure. Thats not really a mode but i wouldnt mind. Though im fine with just a 10 man ladder like mk9..... Challenge tower was awesome so wouldnt mind seeing it back..... Im lil let down about no tag mode which is surprising to me. I dont really care for tag too much but do like it for being able.to play with my girl on same team...... I think test ur might and sight would be great inbetween ladder matches randomly. I thought the way they did those in mk9 was dumb actually but like in deadly alliance it was perfect...... Puzzle kombat and mk chess should both return. They really were great and could be made even better for now. Motor kombat sucked ass donkey shit so no on that, but id love to see pretty much all other modes from pasts mks return rather than all new ones. That includes konquest mode but i want a more of a mkda konquest mode style where you play through short story with every char in the game. It would be great for story of events not covered in the maib story mode and chance to go deeper with chars that are just grunts in story mode..... Im lil worried about mkx having multiple modes, but im fine with it either way.....

YES to Choose your Destiny, Endurance mode and Chess Kombat (revamped, of course).

As for what you said about the Challenge Tower... I suppose using characters that you haven't practised with is the real challenge, right?

Not the kind of challenge I'm looking for, like I can't use my arms because they fell off before match, or something stupid like that. I want a challenge with my main characters as I described.

I would like...

Fatality Theatre Mode
Choose Your Destiny
Triple Tag Mode?

Challenge tower was so...cheesy and we don't need it in MKX. Another thing, the test your might, sight, and which ever the other two were, it was bogus that we had to unlock them within the challenge tower. Don't need those either.

MKX also doesn't really need any mini games. Keep it straight up with 1 player, 2 player, Triple Tag, Fatality Theatre, online mode , and that's it.

It was a generalization based on how easily the DLC option is thrown around, like everything is possible with it. A whole new mode added with DLC, seriously? game programming doesn't work like that, where they think stuff up and then decide to add it after release, now that's an stupid assumption.

But adding game modes post-release isn't a stupid assumption.

You do realize Capcom is literally adding a brand new game mode to Ultra SF4 as we speak, right?

MK has such a variety of options with DLC. There could be story chapters we didn't see, new game modes and all the usual jazz.

No, I'm not speaking to the mentality on this shit. I'm not here to argue logistics or consumer rights vs creative responsibilities/morals/business structure.

The more MK we get after waiting through Injustice, the better. I truly believe this will be extremely polished and refined as a game. I would love to see some new directions explored as far as NRS DLC.

I'd definitely like more game modes especially ones that enhance the single player experience as I STILL don't play online a lot even having XBL now.

In Injustice they finally added the vs CPU feature so you can have plenty of battles without having to go through a small arcade ladder and with Injustice they even upped the ante by adding the different kinds of battles i.e. heroes only, villains only etc etc. I'd like to see more of that. Just women, or something to that effect. They shouldn't lose that feature.

A survival mode would be nice. I like Killer Instinct's survival mode a lot. Maybe Team Battle but that might be too Namco lol.

In general any game modes that have me fighting and playing the game without having to sit through annoying gimmicks (no arms, no head, etc.) is a welcome addition.

Also maybe Choose Your Destiny should be it's own mode. Nowadays people playing arcade are usually trying to unlock something in the game. Outfits or the character endings. 10 fights or so is enough for that so it doesn't become a chore so Choose Your Destiny can be it's own thingy.

I agree. I really liked the 1v1 vs CPU feature in Injustice, it's way easier to just play against one character instead of having to go through the ladder every single time like on MK9.

I agree there could be some more modes, but I hope most of the time is spent on the main game. Challenge tower was boring as hell imo, I enjoyed the final boss fight but that's about it. I also liked the little ones like Raiden vs Shang/Quan or Cyber Reptile because those are all in good fun. The ones that pissed me off the most were the dodge the missle shit and where you were handicapped by having your head blown off or whatever.

Oh and I would definitely love for Choose your destiny to come back this time, and actually make it fucking hard for the Master tower. Goro/Shao Kahn were such a joke.

No, see, instead of white knighting, you should concentrate on your reading skills, the point that was being made, the one you're clearly missing, is not that is impossible is just that they can't add some things after the original build. First, Capcom is another company and second, those changes are already in the code to leave the possibility for a expansion through DLC.

People can think that whatever they want can be added "later" through DLC, but that's just delusional.

Fatality theatre n for us to be able to do all finishing moves even stage fatalities

Survivor mode-go through as many kharacters as we can in one life bar and after every round you gain a little bit of health

Choose ur destiny with one tower having all kharacters in it

Tournament like in umk3 up to 16 players

Another challenge tower but not as big n much harder challenges with a much better reward instead of a stupid costume lol

Bring back test your luck,that was fun

Puzzle n chess kombat were fun as hell n would add alot of replay value to this game

Why not just put all the chapters in the story mode in the fucking first place? DLC=the devil.furiousfuriousfurious

As for everyone else: just simmer down, will you?

I have to agree with the recurring point: Choose your destiny is LONG overdue and should be a staple by now. It should have been in MKA (60+ characters and a tiny ladder? Still it got endurance mode but only for Wii), and it definitely should have been in MK9.
