Since Freddy Krueger is coming out on August 9th (21 days later after Rain(Bullshit) instead of 14?), they can fix him up. Freddy is free for Xbox. Season Pass=1200ms points. Skarlet, Kenshi & Rain=1200ms points without the Season Pass. It's a Win, Win situation...I love it! Freddy Krueger > Human Smoke= FACT! grin

I, for one, dig the fact that Freddy is a character now. I've been a Nightmare on Elm St fan since I was 4 (that's disturbing in and of itself, but beside the point.) While it wasn't my favorite, I appreciate the new darker take on the character in the reboot, and feel with how dark he is, he fits in quite well with the MK Universe. That doesn't mean I don't prefer the Englund version, but I'm fine either way.

I personally think this was a smart move by NRS. It's creating publicity, talk,and controversy, and I have no doubt, that despite nay sayers, a lot of people are going to download this. With how many people hate the MK4-MKA characters, I think that Freddy Krueger will have more downloads than a lot of those other characters. I personally am among the haters of the later characters. I don't even like Quan Chi being in the game. The only character additions from those series of games I like are Kenshi, who we have, and Frost (I'll admit I only like her because the idea of a hot chick in a Sub-Zero suit is hot...It'll never happen, but if I had my way, I would have female versions of ALL the ninjas...Scorpion, Reptile, Rain, Smoke)

They did this because they KNEW it would create talk and make this game more accessable than these lesser known characters who, frankly, nobody but the hardcore gamers care about.

If I asked my 3 best friends who Ashrah, Daegon, Fujin, Hotaru, Hsu Hao, Jarek, Kai, Kira, Kobra, Lie Mei, Movado, Moloch, Nitara, Reiko, Sareena, Shujinko, or Taven are, honestly, only one of them would know, because frankly, only one played through the games including those characters, and would rather forget them.

But if you ask them, or a large scale poll for that matter, i'm willing to bet they'd all be more familiar with all of the characters in the new game (except for Skarlet, of course). Most of them are not just iconic in video games, but pop culture. And ask those same people who Freddy Krueger are, and they will ALL know. Whether he's been relevant or not in recent years, the fact is that damn near anybody knows who Freddy Krueger is.

Hey, if you like the characters from those other games, good for you. But this game is all about nostalgia. And for those who are old enough to be nostalgic about the first 3 MK games, Freddy Krueger will also be a good sell.

Why?

Because some of us like horror movies and realize that Freddy actually has a lot of potential to be a cool character in this game. I don't see why everyone 'hates' this so much...

It's actually really, really cool.

It just makes me laugh that THIS is what breaks the back of MK fans, not Kratos, not MK vs. DC, but Freddy Krueger! A horror movie icon, a brutal blood thirsty character and a household name. Why is this a bad thing? The worst that comes of this is at that NO ONE uses him. The best? It brings more people to play online and it's another character to use. Like him or not, there's going to be people who are excited.

Just think about it this way, I'm excited for Freddy, you're not. If it were the other way around for say Tanya...how would you feel if I said I wouldn't download the compatability pack so you couldn't play with said character? You'd be pissed.

Just download the pack when it comes out and see if you like him, not that hard people. No need to be stubborn. If anything, he's more fatalities and if you hate him THAT much, just keep using your crappy Kung Lao and Raiden on him and spam him to death.

Not that hard.

Regardless, I'll be kicking your asses as Rain no matter what. What's that? Oh, you're gonna get beat by a top-100 player using Freddy and Rain? Hahahahaha!

Or you can shut the fuck up and realize that no one here said " I was fine with MKvsDC but am not okay with this." . It is pretty much known here that except for a select few, everyone chooses not to acknowledge the existence of MKvsDC.

Thank you for the compliment, I do like you too, but I can't help how I feel. When I read a post that praises Freddy Krueger as DLC, I feel this deep disappointment and contempt growing inside of me. It saddens me that some people support the idea of a non-MK character being added to the series OVER one of the existing MK characters.

I need to lie down... I feel ill.

If you haven't got Skarlet, I'd recommend her. I didn't like her at first but I've warmed to her and she's pretty fun to play as.

The opinion that Freddy negates the first three has the same value as one that dislikes him but is still happy with everything else. They're two equal opinions, because opinions are just that. I get what you're saying just fine, and I'm saying that it's useless to try to argue with those people. You aren't going to change their minds and they won't change yours. But please, continue exercising futility, I'll sit here and watch because I need something to do over the next 90 minutes while I'm waiting for my girlfriend to get here.

I hold the latter view. I'd rather they not have picked him and I'm upset that WB is again after all yo moniez, but whatever. I'm still loving Rain and Skarlet just fine and it proves that they had Freddy planned all along, because if they were going to use a MK character for the 4th slot, then what's the point of doing the season pass at all? Milk your original ideas for all they're worth... I'll gladly buy them.

Everyone should be able to come in, say their piece, and get out without feeling like someone pissed in their cereal for having an opinion that they don't agree with. But this is the internet, where everyone has to be a tough guy. *sigh*


I'm not trying to change anybody's opinion, but I feel like I'm still allowed to comment on there's, or is that not allowed for fear of hurting their feelings?

You got 3 MK characters, fan favorites for 2 of them, plus 6 free costumes and all of a sudden you aren't satisfied?

Okay, I can understand your opinion, and you're free to speak your mind, but I'm also free in saying:


Was that necessary? I state my opinion and you answer with "fuck you?" For what? Are you a big Freddy fan? Did I anger you by saying that I thought he hasn't been relevant for 10 years?

Or do I sound like an ungrateful MK fan? Becuase if that's the case, I've been an MK fan since the first game was in arcades, I played them all in the arcades as their revisions came out. It's my all time favorite series, always has been and always will be.

I was very satisfied with the first three characters, just as I was satisfied with virtually everything else about this game. It's really been my dream MK game, to tell you the truth.

I wasn't one of the people on here complaining because the DLC characters didn't speak or that Kitana was dressed like a hooker etc, yet I hate this choice for DLC and what, I'm not allowed to be disatisfied? I need to be told off for that?

Maybe I sound ungrateful, so let me clarify: I want my money back for the DLC character that I've already purchased but don't want. That's all. Everything else with this game is top notch and I couldn't be happier with it, though if I wasn't, if something bothered me, I'd like to think that I could come on to this message board and vent, just as MANY others have done, without someone like you coming along and cussing me out.



It's really on nobody's head but your own. But you're acting like the NRS team just bent you over a station wagon in a dark parking lot and raped you of all of your hard earned money, which they clearly didn't. But you act like this is some kind of terrible injustice. You're losing perspective on what you paid for, which was 3 confirmed MK characters, several classic new skins (despite those being free, something they could've charged. Hell Capcom has no problem with that) and a mystery 4th character.

You aren't happy with Freddy, fine. I get it. I told you your stance on not being happy with him is understandable, even if I still think it's retarded. But you're making it sound like the development team just screwed you out of 15 bucks, or that you didn't get your money's worth.

I'm not calling you an ungrateful MK fan, I'm calling you an ungrateful customer and yes, that gif was necessary in this case.


Alright, I'll put a stop to this now, since you're CLEARLY misreading me here.

I know it's on my head. I even said that I was the one that was dumb enough to buy the season pass before finding out who the 4th character was. I never said otherwise.

So no, I don't feel like I was raped or bent over or screwed out of my money or any other melodramatic image you can conjure up for what basically amounts to me being unhappy with ONE thing (just one!!) that they've done with this game.

I am VERY satisfied with this game. I don't know why I have to keep emphasizing that fact just so I can say one negative thing about it.

Maybe you're right a little though, about me being an ungrateful customer. I'll give you that, actually. I had a kneejerk reaction to the news and I came off somewhat badly. I put my money down, so I made my bed.

But ya know what? This is a message board full of passionate fans for this series, and we all complain a little from time to time. I'm sure you've said something, at some point about this series that wasn't completely positive. People shouldn't be told to fuck off just because they have an opinion or even if they come off badly in stating that opinion. On that, you were wrong.


Dude, I'm not telling you to fuck off because you have an opinion. I'm saying fuck you for being an ungrateful customer, because like you said, this is just ONE thing they might've done wrong out of all the things they did right, but it somehow leaves this giant sour taste in your mouth.

To be clear, I'm not complaining about you not liking the decision for them to include Freddy in the game.


So you're not complaining about me disliking the decision to put Freddy in the game? Cool, because really, that's all I was doing: Complaining. Just as most people are doing on there. They're venting. They're saying things in anger and alot of it sounds childish, just like what I said about wanting my money back.

I don't actually want my money back. The other DLC has been awesome. I'm just pissed that the 4th character is Freddy, and for the money I paid, it would've been nice to have another MK character instead of him. That's all. Really.

I don't expect you to read my mind and know that I was just blowing off steam, but given the fact that the news was so fresh and a lot of people were saying a lot of angry things, maybe try and cut people (not just me) some slack next time, okay?

As I said earlier, this is a great business move. The brand name of Freddy will get horror movie fanatics that love their icons and their gore interested in the game and probably move a few more copies.

But not big on playing as a pedophile child-killer.
