Yeah I'd be inclined to agree with you on this one aye mate.
I mean I can see why some people would be a bit (or a lot) disappointed in the DC decision, even I am. But the way some people have been going on about it in the forums...it's like they just announced everyone has to now pay 80% tax our of their wages, put petrol up $10 a litre or forfit their first child. It's a lil obsessive
Don't get me wrong, I've been a member on this site for yeaaarrrrs and am a BIG Mortal Kombat fan. So I ain't trying to diss anyone out their but yeah, just some peoples reactions have been quite extreme.
I will say this though...one thing that really did annoy me, which is probably, from what I can see to be the only flat out lie (or maybe misleading staement) is that he said only a couple of old characters would remain, and said that there would be mostly new characters which I was quite looking forward to. I know we are 'sort of' getting new characters, but I think that was a bit misleading for him to say that. Everything else tho, darker - yep, grittier - hard to tell but yep, new fighting mechanics - yep, something unexpected - ..a big fat controversial yep!@
At the end of the day it's going to be a new Mortal Kombat game, I'm excited about it and I'm sure it's gonna be awesome, even if it may not be what we were wanting/expecting or in some cases, needing.
My 2 cents
Ciao peeps
