Every time I play the game, I see more and more things in which I think they could have been made better, for exemple more arena's and characters they could have put in. But things like limb damage.
And when I see the Krypt, there so much crap in in, like the comiccrap and "making of" styles and a lot of pics of creaters of the game...
So I think they could have spend the time better to make more moves, characters and stuff like that.

It's supposed to be like a grab bag. You never know what you're going to get. You could get something cool like a character, something decent like art, something weak like a logo or nothing at all. That's the whole point.

I think it's cool. It took me a long time to get all of them and the concept stuff is great. I especially like seeing old stuff like backgrounds from MK3.


At Fight Night they said they never expected people to take it so seriously and expect 676 Koffins full of great stuff.

I love the Krypt. The reason why some people didnt like it at all, was for a BIG TERRIBLE mistake....THEY GAVE AS A LIST WITH ALL THE KOFFINS, WHAT TO UNLOCK AND WHAT TO FIND!

Im sure some (1 or 2) havent even looked at it, but others (like me) couldent help it. If its back for Mk6, I WISH they dont give as anything telling as what to find in every single koffin.

Even if Midway doesn't leak the list, gamers themselves wiould post a list within days. Now, a good idea would be to make the crypt random. That way, coffin AB may unlock a character for one person, and something completely different for someone else.

It really shouldn't be too hard to do. All they would have to do is have a list of all the items and keep track of the ones obtained already. Then every time you open a coffin, it picks randomly from the remaining items on the list.

However, personally, I don't like the crypt concept. I like the old fashioned way of MK where things are hidden all over the place. You want to be able to use a new character? Make it so that you have to beat the computer using only one attack button (like getting jade in MKII). Maybe another character is unlocked by getting a double flawless and performing a fatality against a certain character on a certain board.

That's what the MK series USED to be about. And that's what all the people complaining wanted. Let's hope Midway reads these posts and gives us that for MK6.

They said they didn't include all that stuff in MKDA because they had to build it all from scratch and ran out of time. I was optimistic about MK6 because I figured now that the base was built, they would be able to use this existing code to improve upon and add to.

Unfortunately, news so far has said that MK6 is AGAIN being built from scratch, which I can't understand. So, I assume, we may be in for another disappointing "we ran out of time" list of secrets.

Just like to share, way before Midway leaked the List of whats in the krypt, I setup a Krypt database that people submitted content of what was in the krypt for each koffin. Within 3 days after it was up, the krypt was full, mostly accurate, but a lot of BS too. But within a week of the game being released everything was accurate in my krypt database. I believe one week after US release entire krypt was exposed on my sight, and then gamewinners got the list...etc..etc...(I am just gloating, because I am happy that the database was used by so many... www.cydvicious.com/mkda_krypt)

To stay on topic, even once I knew what everything was in the krypt, I still enjoyed unlocking every koffin. I enjoy all the content. Even though I knew what was in a koffin...i.e. "Cooking with scorpion" it was still exciting to unlock it, and actually view it. A true krypt spoiler would show picture of what was in each koffin.

I agree, with the "lost" suprise factor because of the list they gave us. But even when they didn't it's quiet easy to see which is an arena or "hidden" character. The tombs who are the most expensive.

That what I call crap...
