Let me first say that I have bought a PS4 specifically to play this game, I am extremely excited for it. That being said, there are some decisions NRS has made that I've found jaw droppingly stupid. Bear in mind, this is entirely subjective. Here are my top 10 dumbest cals they've made:

10. Putting a bunch of goobs in charge of streams.
9. Making Jacqui Briggs a kick boxing expert and then not having kick boxing as a variation.
8. Making Tanya not only white, but also Dora the Explorer.
7. Focusing on a story of an outworld civil war and then not having factions for either side of said civil war.
6. Shinnok's skeleton hands variation.
5. Johnny Cage's new face and voice.
4. Making all four new heroes related to old heroes.
3. Killing a bunch of characters in MK9 and then unkilling them in MKX.
2. Using variations to rip off moves from non-appearing characters.
1. Quick Time Events (as I've said, Resident Evil 6 permanently ruined QTEs for me).

Anyone else agree/ disagree or have their own list?

Am I the only person that didn't think Resident Evil 6 was that bad? (Yes I have been playing since R1 back in the day) Sure it wasn't like R1-3, and I wish they would go back to more survival horror oriented gameplay, but IMO Resident Evil 6 was not a bad game, it just wasn't a great Resident Evil game lol

My only complaint would be the fightable NPCs, I'm honestly shocked at how many people are supportive of it.

It just feels like a giant middle finger to the fans of those characters.

The Tanya thing really bothers me. I think her MKD look was perfect and they shouldve used that as an inspriration for this one (obviously it can't be the same). The skin bothers me the most, at least Jade was still slightly dark. Tanya just looks sunburnt.

So you'd rather not see the character at all for another 4-5 years?

Johnny Cage's new voice actor is awesome, and he looks way better now than in mk9(but not as good as the 3D era)

Quick time events look fun, and gunna be fun failing them on purpose to see what funny things happen.

i don't really mind the new 4 to be related, makes sense story wise.

everything else i agree with, especially Jaqcui not having a kickboxer variation (i mean she was an olympic champion) and Shinnoks skeleton forearms and hands(looks stupid)

Too true.

LOL. yass.

YES.

its unfortunate.

Seriously tho.

2. Using variations to rip off moves from non-appearing characters.


Not shocked here, especially by the characters that are doing this. (cough kitana cough)


For me, I would just add:

1. Not including any mk4-deception characters, tho highly requested
2. Including all five of the 'parent' characters playble, despite having newer generation offspring
3. Focusing on Reiko and Havik in the comic, and not at all in the story
4. Not including any brotherhood of shadow characters, other than quan chi.
5. Marketing the game as the 'new generation' and 'most new characters' but including 2/3 of the roster from mk9

Agree with all your calls but must add;


leaving out Noob Saibot in a game featuring the netherrealm war and the brotherhood of shadow!!!!! Noob Saibot is the brotherhood of shadow what a lousy call giving his moves to cage and quan chi!!!!

The salt is strong in this thread...

My only complaint is the lack of MK4-MKD characters.

My own list, in no particular order...

10. Slightly not a big enough roster. Giving us fightable big name NPCs and those like Fujin that we can't play, yet people REALLY want to be playing them. Slap in the face.
9. DLC characters having no alts...again(as far as we know)
8. Tanya, while still looking amazing and I'm most excited for, too light skinned & less demonic
7. Too many new & extremely uninspired family members all in one game that share many similarities to other characters. Same characters over and over again.
6. Lack of a diverse roster of Kombatants. Havik? Ashrah? Frost? Yes please!
5. Multiple guest characters(whether I like them or not, I'd still rather MK characters in a, well, MORTAL KOMBAT GAME!
4. Only 13 stages/arenas. This is the freaking NEXT GENERATION of consoles.
3. Lack of secret character unlockables. I guess they just want money for all of them through DLC instead.
2. ?
1. ?

That's all I got actually for now. Still really excited, but those would be on my list.

I think, with all honest, that NRS is going to end up coping a lot of backlash about the choices in this game...

Dead according to story mode.
I agree with the entire 10 points but one thing to keep in mind is the more the roster expands and the more new characters that are added the more it means that people's favorites will be left out each game some people are always going to be angry _______ isn't in the game.


The 4 legacy characters was massive overkill though 1 (Cassie ) would have been more then enough and it's compounded by all there parents being in as well, the special forces centric focus takes away from the mk feel as well that mkda and mkd did soo well.

1. Bringing back several dead characters from MK9 and not give more than half of them a story chapter.
2. Bringing back several dead characters from MK9 and not using them fully
3. Having 12 Chapters in Story Mode but saying since E3 that there would be an equal amount to MK9.
4. Bringing back three MK4-MKA characters, two of which were in MK9.
5. Putting Casual/Tourney players wishes ahead of die-hard players
6. Quickly killing of characters they can't be bothered to use and put their signature moves into completely different character's variations.
7. Thinking Special Forces is everybody's favourite faction.
8. Saying the big-bad would be a surprise returnee, show them off on stream and then have him locked in the final release version of the game.
9. Make fan-favourites NPCs with great new designs and then not let us play as them.
10. Trying to still make Raiden a 'fan-favorit even though 90% of the fantim hate his stale ass.

These are also things I dislike about MKX and NRS.
