So when all said and done, we'd have 10 more MK fighters added to the roster + Jason & Predator and counting Quan Chi, Kenshi, Shinnok, Tanya, and the four other DLC "3D Era" returnees we'd have a total of 8 characters representing that era! It's perfect.



8 3D era characters is nowhere near perfect. 15 are deserving, at least!


Considering the fact that we were on the verge of just having Kenshi and Quan Chi to represent that era(yet again)- you better get down on your knees and kiss the ground NRS walks on if we even got 6 3D era characters.


Kiss the ground? sad

I'd rather just....not buy the game if I don't like the story or characters.

Is anyone else thinking the Kombat pack has two guests because Freddy sold the best for MK9? That is really the only fact I know about how MK9 DLC sold, so it could've flopped or did really well. From that standpoint Guests look like the real money makers, and I don't believe they will make an entire dlc for just mk characters.

I think Goro will count as one of the characters released outside of the kombat pack as they did with injustice. After the full pack comes out and they put Goro up for sale I expect to see maybe one more separately released character giving us 6 dlc characters.

What we need to understand is that there comes a point where by creating so much content for a game, that it becomes "too big" for it's own good. As fans we want as many characters, stages, and skins as possible, but when does too much become a bad thing? I think we will get one more DLC character pack, and I'm perfectly fine with this.

As a user stated above, I don't want MKX to become an Armaggedon type game. Don't steer away from the scope of the project; quality over quantity every time. The series doesn't end here. MKX will have a sequel, so there's no real reason to try to include as many characters in MKX where they can get the spotlight in the next game. NRS won't want to give everything away in this game. There's no need to.

Just give one more Pack with 4 MK characters(no guests) and I can deal.

Exactly. I just don't see that happening. It may not be as many as I'm hoping, but at least 4 more MK fighters becoming DLC is more than possible and likely. Especially since TWO spots are being occupied by guests. Seriously, if this would've been it I'm sure they would have opted for ONE guest instead of two.

You can't tell me they're money hungry enough to put Predator and Jason both up as DLC and not money hungry enough to release at least a second Kombat pack. Come on.


You keep bringing up the money angle. I don't think NRS does this because they are "money hungry". They do it because they are a fan-service oriented studio, and they like to shock, surprise, and do things that set them apart from their competition. The money influx is just icing.

Nevertheless, if you want to label them as "money hungry", then that is all the more reason for them to move onto Injustice 2 after the first Kombat Pack. They will make more $$$ from a full fledged sequel to their other lucrative franchise than creating 3 MKX Kombat Packs.


Exactly! I dont see them as "money hungry evil studio" .


What the fuck? Where you people getting "money hungry evil studio" from? Because you're certainly not getting it from me. If I thought they were a money hungry "evil" studio, don't you think I would be hating the idea of more DLC than actually wanting it? Logic doesn't work on MKO, I should know that by now.

I simply was using the term "money hungry" as just a way of saying they're a business. Businesses make money. There's nothing "evil" in that.

Actually read the entirety of my posts and not just a few sentences before skipping off and replying.


LOL the same goes for you, I never said you said that, thats why I put that betwen "". And if you read my entire comment as well I also agreed that they are a Business company with other obligtions and that there is nothing bad with it.

I'm down for 2-4 more MK-only character DLC. Agree with the OP. Also would love to see a ton of skins. If they keep making them I'll keep buying.

At the very end of the day, there's nothing for people to be pissed about.

This is the most content-filled, quality MK game ever. 25 fighters plus 4 DLC plus the expansive story and accompanying single-player content plus the overhauled online component plus fatalities, brutalities, faction kills and quitalities.

If one can't find a single character and mode to satisfy them during the MKX era, then that's their problem. NRS has done an IMMACULATE job with MKX.

We've been in heat for this game for many years. We finally got it. Go enjoy it.

Both. If a game has so much going on that it loses focus on what the game is all about, it becomes to cluttered with things and the quality of the game may be hurt. The team needs to be aligned with the scope of the project and I think NRS did just that.

If post-release you release so much content, you risk overwhelming your consumers with so much content they don't know what to choose from. If a consumer buys a DLC pack that they spend $10-20 for, and another one comes out ranging the same price in a span of a few months, it is unlikely that same consumer wants to spend another $10-20 for it.

Gotcha. Thinking about this in terms of what NRS has done, I think we disagree. I do understand your point though.

I don't quite think you understood the point I was making. NRS could make the absolute best Mortal Kombat game ever made, which X so far seems to be shaping up to be

And some wanker will STILL find something to bitch about, if only for the sake of bitching. That's life. I say, let 'em hate.

For fucks sakes, by money hungry I'm meaning they're a BUISNESS. I'm not meaning it in a nasty or disrespectful way, but they're a business- you can't get around that. Of course they do this for fan service, which exactly ties back into why they should at least knock out a second Kombat pack. The game needs to be supported and kept alive and adding new characters is definitely something that would do that. The insane amount of cash they would get from it is a fucking plus. As I said above, insuiating that NRS can't multi-task in creating Injustice 2 AND supply a few DLC packs for MKX is idiotic. And stop hyper bowling- I said 2 or 3 character packs. That's hardly 485665556599.

All I'm saying is- If they have the resources, fan demand, and time- why not try and provide as much DLC as possible? Neathrealm Studios is a huge company, they've come along way since being under Midway, they can definitely provide more than just four DLC characters- two of which are guests.

There's nothing "negative" in what I'm saying. Either way, if NRS is going to release 15 Kombat Packs or just this one- It's all mute anyway considering they most likely already got everything planned and set in stone either way. Still doesn't mean we can't discuss our hopes.

I remember reading a thread here regarding post Kombat Pack DLC. It was about a user(from here) who tweeted an MKX producer(didn't say who) who did hint at the possibility of DLC outside the Pack. Anyone got the link to it? Can't find it. Didn't confirm anything though,it was a mere hint(and it could very well mean nothing)
If there's a 2nd Pack,i'm really hoping there are no guests and that they focus on MK1-3(well,2-3 given that Tsung is the only one from MK1 not to return) maybe an extra post Trilogy era character(Fujin,for example) and the rest being all from MK2-3. Hoping at least two of these characters are ninjas(maybe Noob and Cyber Smoke,but I doubt it)
as jimmykricket said,we have to play the waiting game.
BTW,anyone knows the date when they announced the two final DLC characters from Injustice?(MMH and Zatanna)
