there are no cyberninjas in MKX, there are no seidans in MKX, no onis,....


Tremor petitioneers. I have to give it to you, you have accomplished the unusual. Now say goodnight to Tremor because it is almost guaranteed that you will not see him again, and even if the possibility comes up, there will be enough of us who will rend that attempt null and void.

Explain why should I give a rat's ass about MK if they continue shitting on everything post Trilogy - basically the only part of MK that had some legitimate merit? Boon and co. you dun goofed.






I gotta admit. I'm riding a very fine line between optimistic and salty. Trying hard not to sway too far to either side, but its just sad to see the mkda/mkd characters fall by the wayside.


I'm walking that same tight rope.

I'm just gonna continue to stay optimistic. We got our Skarlet of the game in Tremor, we got another 3D character, let's see what else they have in their bag of tricks before all is said and done and the curtain falls on MKX. To be honest, I was completely expecting this Kombat Pack to be the 2 guests we got and 2 MK9 returnee's so they already surprised the fuck out of me.

There's nothing to shit on. "Post-trilogy" doesn't exist yet because it hasn't happened yet. MKX is your new "post-trilogy" era. Let it unfold before you accuse NRS of taking a shit.


Not including "Post Trilogy" characters in the retelling of "Post Trilogy" events is shitting on "Post Trilogy" as we know it.

Isn't Tanya post trilogy? Is Tremor not basically post trilogy too? I know he liked to hang out with Jarek.

This, like FO REAL. I get that its a retelling and a different story, but c'mon. Even one more day one roster spot to a post MK 3 character would do wonders in the diversity of this roster.

To be fair, we have not seen how many of those left out are going to be NPCs.

Still, I would choose Hsu Hao over Tremor or any Trilogy character anytime.

Tanya looks like she's ready for some serious trolling and witchkrafting, in my opinion. Tanya is not playing.

She even kut her long hair to make a new potion!

I hope Tanya has a magik or sorcery variation, something like that! smile

Why are some people pissed about Tremor? I don't even care much for him, but literally go fuck yourself for wanting another MK9 character instead of something new.

If you want to play as Cyrax or Smoke, Baraka or Kabal, go play MK9, or one of the many other games they've been in already. They don't need to be in every fucking game. We've got enough of that going around (*cough* Liu, Jax, Kitana *cough*).


Seriously! FUCK Liu Kang. They knew he was worthless back in MK:DA and killed him off but some whining bitches who never gave half a fuck about the story complained and they put him back but he has not served any useful purpose in the story for a long time. It made sense to have him in MK9 because it was a reboot but by the end, he had proven himself to be a pathetic chump who went insane over shit he should have been mentally and emotionally prepared for, and Raiden had to put his bitch ass down. Reminding us all again that NRS is well aware that he is useless. He is a douchebag who barely has a personality. Just a bland generic ripoff of Bruce Lee. They need to leave him dead so a more interesting character has a slot!


He should've been prepared for a apocalyptic scenario were half his friends died and his mentor and god Raiden tried to sell his friends souls to the devil and then stopped him from trying to save his home and people and told to just let him the guy whos killing everyone win ?


Yeah pretty much, He had trained his whole life to fight in the Mortal Kombat Tournament. A tournament with a history of violent death. With the fate of the world at stake, someone trained to win this tournament would have to be prepared to stay strong and focused in the face of violence, bloodshed and death. Liu Kang completely failed at that and his emotional and mental instability would have caused Armageddon if Raiden hadn't stopped him. (Let's not forget the blatant disrespect for a freaking GOD) Meanwhile two people who had been far less prepared for such violence, Sonya who may have had some experience, and Johnny who would have had none whatsoever managed to hold it together to the end and later helped Raiden save the world yet again. And just for fun, let's throw in how the only times Liu showed any personality, he was acting like a jealous girlfriend over Johnny ("What do you see in him?") Or a smug douche trying to score a date with Kitana.

He was obviously written to be a lousy and somewhat unlikable character that they fully intended to kill off at the end. What I can't fathom is that they knew years ago that his status as the default champion of MK had gotten stale and killed him off, only to bring him back to serve no real purpose in the story, then to reboot the series and kill him off again. Why bring him back again? There are so many other characters with more compelling stories that could emerge as heroes to save the world. Why keep following that same stale "Liu Kang is always the champion" cycle? Making him a villain might be a good angle, but there's at best a 50/50 chance of them doing that this time, but more likely they won't. SO again, WHY?? The only way bringing him back is useful is so him and Kitana could have a kid, and even the kid would be more interesting.


Very solid points here

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!!!!!!!!!! Cannot... process...

*jumps up and down, spins around like a dervish, collapses, then regains equilibrium and makes burbling sounds for about 5 minutes. - No lie this was my actual reaction.

Tanya's IN!!!


DLC


Wow I could not be more conflicted, and that makes me mad at NRS for giving in to the DLC consumerism culture. I'm so mad I'm listening to Slipknot & I just ate a whole packet of Jaffa cakes.

As far as Tanya's look, well her face is terrible but she's definitely not finished. I'm totally digging the outfit. She should definitely get an alt with her long plait too.

I for one am super happy they're giving Tremor a proper shot at full realisation. I've always been pro-Tremor (but no more or less than any other character).

Love Jason's inclusion and machete.

Don't really care for Pred as I already mentioned, but seeing him “appear” in the vid makes me think they really know what to do with him.

I really wish all the haters would FUCK OFF at least most of you have the CHANCE to try out these characters/skins etc. Stop acting like spoilt brats and be happy that NRS made characters that are now being revised and revisited rather than shunned into obscurity forever. I only wish I (as a consumer and fan) was privvy to more of their artistic integrity. My game is now delayed until June, except it still won't have all content. WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT? I was so hoping this wouldn't go down the injustice route.

ProfesserAhnka Wrote:NRS are no longer newbies when it comes to DLC, it sells extremely well, so why not just pump as many characters out as DLC as you can?

Because it's unethical? I know this wasn't the angle you were going for but i'm mega pissed off and I almost tripped over a hobo earlier.

That's it. The last straw. I'm out. After today, no more me on MKO. I think I'm better off without the stress. I have so many reasons, most of which i've already gone into, but i'll find a way to make it all clear should anyone be interested.

I think they all look awful to tell you the truth. Like someone else said though, hopefully this is just a rough cut and basically leaks forcing NRS's hand in unveiling them sooner than planned. Just overall the models look really under detailed and last gen to me. Nowhere near on par with the in game full roster models at all.

I'm also pretty disappointed that there is no Kabal or Spawn. Would have easily been my favorite characters. here is hoping we get more than just the 4 dlc characters like we did with injustice.

Good Points!!!

Are they going to release all 4 characters at the same time or spread them out?? I hope we do not have to wait for Tremor for multiple months?? I also wonder if they will include these 4 characters in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions as a sympathy plug. Then once the PS3 and 360 version and all 4 DLC have been release make an announcement for individual DLC characters 1 every couple months until they start making MK11. At that time I bet we get 2 more DLC characters tops!!! Hopefully Noob & Havik or Reiko!!!tonguesleep

Holy, I'm actually seeing people on here that don't worship NRS's every decision?... and I thought I was alone this whole time. Seriously you guys have Stockholm syndrome if you think paying close to 100 bucks for a video game is reasonable. inb4 "but... but...It's the industry" / "You're supporting NRS" No it's not and no you are not.

See you guys when the actual game drops next year.

Shits getting out of control isn't it? In my head I can't help but compare any DLC to Skyrim's in terms of evaluating if it is worth it or not.

You act as if DLC is new. Get over it. It's not like you'll get to a certain point in story and then you'll have to wait because the character for that chapter isn't out yet.

DLC for games is the status quo. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial and delirious.

As far as that is concerned, this is obviously a business move. It's pretty much a given we are going to get a handful more characters after the Kombat Pack is completed. They wanted to for MK9 but didn't happen, it did happen with Injustice, it'll happen again with MKX. How many is up for debate whether just 2 or maybe 3 or as an extreme, low probability 4. What is blatantly obvious, to me anyway, was the two riskiest characters in terms of sales were packaged together with the two guests to ensure they sell decently.

Mark my words and quote me if you must; the final handful of characters sold separately will be the ones they know for a fact will sell well separately; i.e. characters like Noob, Cyrax, Smoke, Fujin, Shang Tsung, Frost, ect.

None of it is good at all. I think the major issue people take with DLC is that this stuff is planned from the beginning or before the game has even come out. DLC is fine is it's thought of/created post launch.

Devs need to keep in mind about keeping the game relevant. Look at mario kart 8, and how it took 8 months before any DLC was released for that game. But I agree dlc that is released within the first few weeks after launch is pretty shady.

LOL @ idiots who say, that Tremor in the game because of petition.
For all this children I must say: roster of the game decided long before it goes into production, so there is no way, they decide to add character several months before release of the game. Midway days are over.

As for the reveal: roster of this game is a trainwreck. But amounts of salt it creates is infinitely amusing.

Liu and Jax are 100% in the game and the final character who needs to be confimred is Erron (sort of).

I am pretty sure there won't be cyborgs, because of Predator, who most likely will use a lot of their specials (though its justified in his case, since cyborgs have been based of Predator). I liked that Rain and Baraka fans have been BTFO'd, at least for now.

Tanky will look better in the final game. Tremor...I don't care abut him much, but it'll be fun, if second KP include Tasia, Jarek and No-Face. Then MKO will collapse under salt and shit of braindead zealots or never satissfied pathetic creeps, as well, as pretty much all other MK fansites.

That is all I have to say about that matter.
