To start off,this isn't meant to be a negative thread about MKX.
This is meant to give a more neutral view about MKX.
Yeah,there are threads like this,but I wanted to make one that was more organized,per say.
IMO:

Top 5 things I like
-Extreme amount of content,for both offline and online(Towers,Factions,just the sheer amount of finishers is outstanding)
-The Krypt(from what i've seen of it) looks vastly improved compared to MK9(the puzzles,different sections to unlock,for example)
-New characters,while there are some that are a bit weak(Ferra/Torr,for example) are considerably better,in general,than the duds from the 3D era.
-Gameplay is considerably improved over MK9,it feels familiar,but fresh at the same time. The variations in particular are really well done,giving characters different tools to work with,and making matchups far more complex.
-The presentation(not just Story mode,which has some amazing cutscenes because of that) is,as expected,a step up from MK9. Voice Acting deserves a mention here,and the sound design(a bit hit or miss with the music however) is very well done(the gory SFX for example)

Top 5 things I dislike
-Returning roster being a little dissappointing,namely,no cyborgs,Tanya's not on the main roster,no Fujin,lackluster final boss(mind you,I like Shinnok,but the way they played it up was horrible),also mostly safe,without trying to add some risky characters to it's roster.
-Bizarre story decisions(namely,Sektor's death,which could have been handled better by making him an npc fight,but bizarrely not doing so,understandbly,for the casuals they probably have no clue who Sektor is,but still,they could have done something)
-Outright lies regarding the role of some characters(Kung Lao,Kitana and Liu Kang being freed when that wasn't the case at all) as well as some odd roster decisions thanks to that(Ferra/Torr,for instance,Rain not being in when he has an actual role in the Story,even if a small one) They should have told us the truth from the get-go.
-Some of the music is still a bit generic and dull(one of the main menu songs,for example)
-Kombat Pack should have been cheaper and only included 1 guest character,not 2(this feels like NRS has no faith in their own characters)

So,post below what are the top 5 things you like and dislike about MKX.

Love:

1. Brutalities

3. Jensei Stage (need to learn how to spell that)

2. No Pit Stage
3. No Cyrax

There's honestly nothing else I could possibly dislike about what I've seen so far

And I created a petition to keep tremor out of MKX so that was not me that liked him.

if he had instead been the secret fight,and thus,a normally unplayable NPC,would you still have hated him?

Likes:

- Presentation - it's the best MK has EVER looked.
- Creativity in the characters movesets, much improved over MK9
- A lot more content, brutalities, fatalities, the krypt, factions, etc
- Training mode improvements - Seriously, good shit NRS.
- Soundtrack - From what I've heard so far, it sounds a LOT better than MK9.

Dislikes:

- Story mode stage transitions
- Characters underutilized in story
- Lack of consistency between the comics and game
- 2 guest characters as DLC
- No Fujin

These are just my opinions from what I've seen, i'm going to wait to comment on gameplay until I've actually played it lol.

same.

Regarding the roster:
People should've seen it coming. We knew the ammount of day 1 characters ever since E3. They've never added slots to the roster that weren't dlc. I expected a lot worse actually since they said half of the roster would be new characters. Thank GOD/ALLAH/BUDA/SANTA CLAUS/ARCEUS or whoever imaginary friend you want to pray that, that didn't happen.

There would ALWAYS be old favorites out.

Yeah I would've prefered to have Fujin, Reiko, Rain, Sektor and Smoke on day one.

But I have the say, that out of everyone in the current roster, only one I don't care much for is Jax. And that is simply aesthetically since he actually looks to have some cool combos.

Out of the new character I don't care much for Jacqui. Not a fan of her moveset though I like her personality. Also not a fan of D'Vorah. She's Tanya on a bug body. Down right to her color palette.

Other than that we're getting a better game all around than what we had with MK9.

I like the story mode. Better choreographed fights and simply a better story. I'm soooo sad you people didn't get to see your favorites on it or play as them. Boo hooo hooooo.

One thing I REALLY dislike... and this in every damn game, is that we're getting guest characters. One is already bad enough. Two is awful. Especially when there's so many omissions in the roster.

Oh yeh I'll always have a special hating part in my soul for him, only because it makes all the twitter badgering and petition advertising people think harassing developers online will work.

think?

They know it'll work.

Make a petition for Khrome or whatever random ninja people want now. Get it to over 10k signatures and spam Ed's twitter. Show that there is support and the character will get in.

Love:

Almost all of the updated character looks (Most especially Sonya's, Kitana's, Mileena's, Jax's, Quan Chi's and Sub-Zero's)

Sonya's Covert Ops Variation. I think this is how Sonya was always meant to be played.

Character Variations in General. I am extremely happy they decided to do this! IMO it adds so much depth to the fighters. It also let's you play your favorite character strategically. One variation doesn't seem effective, you have two more to try out. No more having to change to a different fighter to get by a difficult opponent. This was definitely the smartest move NRS made for this game. I'm just sayin'.

Takeda. Easily the coolest new character introduced. IMO, of course.

Blanche

The Cove Stage. I simply love everything about this stage.

GORO!!

Hate:

Kitana, Liu and Kung Lao remaining zombies. I just don't understand this... at all. Why? If Jax could be saved and fully restored, why not these three? Surely Raiden owes them that much at the very least. Granted I haven't seen the story mode yet, so there may be a reason for it... but still... why?

Jade being fully dead and gone. Again.. why? If all these others are still around in one form or another... why was she taken completely out of the picture? As I recall, she was one of the souls under Quan's power. It's not like she was an unpoplular character. Again, I haven't seen the story mode yet, so maybe it's explained.

And, sorry, but... Jason and Predator? Really? I mean guests are cool and all, but I'd much rather have seen the return of a couple more MK characters instead. But that's just me... I know there are others who are happy with this and that's fine too. To each there own.

I know I had a few more likes than 5.. but I shortened my hate list to even out.

I hate most of the roster, I hate the lack of stage fatalities, I hate how the DLC/pre-orders (Goro) are more interesting than the main roster. I hate the whole "family" thing. That's cool for one group of characters (I was fine with Cassie) but to create a whole story around them is just not very interesting. It's basically MK1/2 characters all over again passed off as an excuse for "new characters" and a "new generation".

I like Kotal Kahn, Ferra/Torr, the stages, the Brutalities, how there is no Shao Kahn for once, the amount of different costumes, and some of the fatalities are okay.

2. Not enough 3D era characters.
That is it for me.
