Go back and read what was written. Basically if nrs pooped something out and put the mk label on it you would love it. Go back and play special forces and say omg that game is amazing I'm just glad another mk game came out. It's so good. That's how you guys are fools. Nrs is a gaming company that had my respect and others the most.

How are we fools for enjoying MKX. That is just an opinion because I think you are a fool for believing everything NRS says. I never fully believe in anything they say because they've always kept secrets from us. We all know this

Do u want me to list all the lies to u. There is a reason they usually give answers that don't really answer anything. It's to not come off as lies. The choices they made are poor and it's obvious they added characters like kitana to sell the game. The people who always enjoy the game are fools. There needs to be criticism for the games to get better and before u say I just want characters I like to be in kitana is one of my favorites

Nah, people are just hating.
There's fans that enjoy the game no matter and just want to enjoy a new Mortal Kombat, with whatever it involves, while praising NRS for just giving us a new MK.
Then there's fans that constantly criticize that decisions are "poor" and "lazy" and "NRS lied to us" based off of their own personal wants/way the game should be made.
I think because 99% of us are not video game developers, we (not me) expect certain things however we have no knowledge of the developing process. It's easy to look at what's released and say they could've/should've done this, when you really have no idea the process that comes with it. That's why I hate when you people say "NRS lied to us"
I completely agree OP, I think people just like to complain for a living.

No one is just hating on the game. We are judging the story and the roster that came with it which was a poor choice. Nrs did lie about several things which of course gets people more upset.

Ok guys, ive been on this forum for a long time, but I dont often post. However, what i've read here in the last day or two compels me to offer a response. So here goes.
Video games, like movies, writing and music are an art form. By its very nature, all art is subjective.
Unfortunately, to many, its not that simple where MK is confirmed. This is a franchise with over 2 decades of games and other media behind it. The passion with which many of us talk about Mortal Kombat is similar in many ways to how we talk about our favourite sports team. Its not so only a passion, it borders on obsession for some of us. This is not entirely healthy but at the same time it is understandable.
Without going into specifics, i get why many people are angry now. Your favourite characters didnt make the cut. The new characters are too similar to the old. The story didnt pan out as you wanted it to. I get it, i really do.
But please, lets try and keep some perspective here.
This is just a fucking video game!!!
I wanted Havik, I wanted Reiko, hell I even wanted to see Hotaru given another shot, but you know what, it didnt happen, it may never happen.
Buying a video game is a gamble. It may be everything you wanted, it may horribly disappoint you. Frankly, thats the risk you take.
Spoilers abound on the forum now. I know how the story plays out and i know who the final boss is. I wont say here who it is, but again, its the chance you take.
I remember being totally underwhelmed and a bit disgusted when MK Armageddon came out and blaze was the last boss. Did i whine and complain? No. Did i rant and rave about how Ed Boon and the developers lied and betrayed us? No i didnt.
They are just people, they make mistakes. For all i was let down by armageddon, theres still a lot about that game i enjoy. In time, im sure you will all find something to enjoy about MKX.
So everyone please, just take a step back, calm down and see what happens when the game actually comes out. Perhaps you could wait and pick up the game of the year edition on the cheap in 18 months time if MKX disgusts you so much.
Criticism is never a bad thing. I work as a journalist and its a big part of my job. But blindly condemning and hating on a game you haven't even played yet is just ludicrous.
Im sorry for the long post and i am ready for the inevitable flack i will get from those who disagree. But please consider what i have said here.

I never played MK:SF because I know it's not that good. I know the story from it but I never played it myself. I read what you said, im just saying we either get over it and enjoy the experience of having another MK fighting game, or we move on with our lives and find other things of interest. This isn't the only video game around and we are all human im sure NRS did the best they could've done with this game. Shit i can't wait to discover all the secrets in it

This I know but people should still tell nrs what is wrong so they can focus on that part the next time. Time management is important. With that in mind they should of put some things first before others.
