Yeah, yeah, we get it, you're happy. I don't hate MKX- I think it's the best game in the series actually, but I'm not fond of the character choices they have made from the default roster to the actual DLC. And just because you're 100% happy and thrilled with everything and could care less about the "shitty characters" that didn't make it into this game doesn't mean other people doesn't have a right to be. We all have our favorites and the ones we wanted to see and you sitting there with the audacity to say things like "Do we really need more of character x OR character Z anyway? How are we not sick of them yet?!" is pretty idiotic when the default is chock full of characters that we SHOULD be sick of. For example, I'm not sick of Sindel because she's only appeared in three main installments (MK3, MKD, MK9) all considerable years apart, but I'm sick of Jax appearing in every game doing nothing but chasing after Sonya and having zero to little character development, or Kano appearing and playing no vital role in anything or Reptile simply being a minion in every damn game- that's what I'm sick of. So let's not go there with that.

As far as shitty characters, Ferra/Torr isn't any better than the likes of Meat, Kobra and others imo.

The inclusion of our old favourites is what makes MK what it is and people are not asking for terrible or tired characters. Just some morons who think Mokap & Meat are actually characters. 90% are asking for story mode appearances, NPCs, characters with great potential in Fujin, Havik, Sindel, Li Mei, Baraka etc. Nothing wrong with that at all.

In general I agree we need to get over this idea that previous games had great characters though and move on. To me that means letting go of the trilogy era and story, especially after MK9, so that's why I dislike so many MK1-3 characters making it. It's time for Fujin to take over from Raiden, for Shao Kahn to be a thing of the past with Kotal Kahn taking over, the old Cage, Sonya, Jax, Liu Kang, Kano, Kung Lao to die. Especially now that they are older.

Liu Kang as a god, without the grey hair is something I will always accept since he will remain one of my top 5 ever, but I could live without him. Forrest Fox would've been a worthy successor actually, but NRS missed the boat on that one. Still with all that said, the special characters who are unique like Baraka, the cyborgs, Goro, Shang Tsung (original sorcerer), Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, Nightwolf, Kabal & Kano (original asian looking) should always be highly represented.

There's also always characters with potential and with the story moving into to MK4 era, NRS just missed so many opportunities to breathe new life in some great MK4 characters. Shinnok was a let down story wise and playable character, Fujin was not given his due, Quan Chi story wise and Kai. The next game will move on to the DA / Deception era or maybe even divert completely so that's why people are anxious about letting go as well. This might be the last game for another 10 years to include these characters.

I don't know that you're the ONLY one left but it's true a lot of people do see flaws in this game frankly because it IS flawed. It's far from perfect. However, I do honestly believe now with the netcode being worked on, they are heading in the right direction for the future of this games life-cycle and their future releases.

With that said though, this game did get a lot right in my eyes like with the idea of the variation system, the interactive arenas, the return of the run button, Brutalities, a lot of the new characters introduced, the redesign on a lot of the returning characters (Bo', Shinnok, Fujin, Kenshi, Frost, Sareena, Li Mei and especially Goro in particular all look amazing in their updated models), the arenas themselves are beautiful to look at, the partnering with the mobile game (which my girlfriend to this day STILL plays at least once a day and is a huge fan of), the tower system, ect ect. Those are all great in my book for what its worth.

I am the stalwart of MK X. I literally enjoyed everything if this game, excluding the terrible netcode and the awful kombat pack 2.

The first is solved,the latter could be worked around with a kombat pack 3

Well, I mean, you can enjoy a flawed game. I do. lol I thought the story was crap but I won't lie, I had an incredible amount of fun experiencing it for the first few times, seeing those cameos pop in and out and dissecting the route they decided to take the story.

And I still have fun offline with this game regularly. So there's that.

I agree for the most part, but the thing with the 3D characters is that a lot of them do have potential, and a lot of people don't want them to return the same way they were in the older games. I don't think people realize how much better NRS designs their characters this day and age, they would definitely be able to pull off bringing back a lot of the disliked characters from the 3D era. Most people aren't asking for Mokap, Meat, Kobra, etc but sort of realistic choices like Havik, Reiko, Sareena, etc and we've already seen them at least acknowledged in the game and comic. Although they have included cameos for characters like Li Mei and Fujin, they have yet to be playable once again which does worry me but there is always hope for next game, or a couple of characters after KP2.

But yeah, you're definitely not alone, I do love the game and I tend to focus on the negatives rather than the positives which is something I try not to do but ends up happening anyway. With Bo's inclusion in KP2 I have been getting more hype for the game and am DEFINITELY excited for the future with the beta, if NRS manages to pull this off, I believe this will be the greatest MK game to date and honestly, I am excited for the future. I sort of see MKX as the MK:DA of this era. A lot of changes, some for the better and some for the worse, but a stepping stone for the franchise. They're trying new things, and not sticking to the same formula like MK9, and that's great imo. We'll be able to see the franchise branch out in new directions and I am excited for that.

You are not the last one left. No one is going to make a topic about great MKX is because it is pointless. Is it far easier for the detractors to make a topic and post about what they do not like about the game. When it comes to the majority of customers who bought MKX, it has very high approval ratings.

You're not the only one who still likes the game, but you have to admit, as with all things, it's very much easier to criticise and deconstruct the negatives than the positives. I recently did just that, so i'll have a bash at the positives soon, however that will be hard for me to do without the actual full game.

I also still love the game. IMO it only lacks Fujin, Robots (not the case anymore :) ), Reiko and decent netcode.

The problem is, I play on PC, and fate of PC MKX is not clear yet :/

Every single day I play MKX on PC. Recently, I tried experimenting with characters and variations that I neglected from the start. My latest discovery was Blood God Kotal Kahn, also - Ronin Takeda.

Imagine my disappointment, if they decide not to release KP2 on PC, just when the game became stable and really enjoyable.

+1

I love MKX. Sure I'm not into the new story 100% but it's a fighting game,and that's where the game delivers. I also don't care for guest characters but Freddy in MK2011 was cool and,so far Jason and predetermined played good. I'm a MK fan for life, I may not like everything g they do but I still play the game. For the next step I really don't want anymore retread. While this didn't repeat MK4 it was the equivalent. So no repeating DA-A.

Plus at the end of the day all of us nitpick and are overly critical out of love anyway, so...

I like MKX, it's tied to MK9 for my favorite. I used to say MKD was my favorite, but after playing it again...oh my god..it's gameplay has aged about as good as rotten milk, it takes away a LOT from those games...so regardless of who's favorite is in MKX or not, its got its gameplay to make up for that amongst other things. I hope to see Mortal Kombat surpass Tekken one of these days in terms of a dynamic fighting system, but that might mean transitioning to 3d, and....I want that and all, so NRS could atone for the mistakes made in MKDA-MKA, but...yeah *cough*noonewantsit*cough*

This pretty much sums up how I feel about Mortal Kombat X. It helps too that WB bought the franchise, gave the MK creators time and money to make good products and aren't forced to do the same game every 2 years like what Midway did. I like how there are cameos from 2D and 3D era characters in both the game and comic that might not make it like Jarek, Daegon, Tasia, Kintaro, etc.. in the comics and Li Mei and Sareena in MK X. It shows they haven't forgotten about all the characters.

Hell, the Mortal Kombat X comic got me into reading DC Comics again.

I admit I was pissed off about Kombat Pack 2, but after the trailer for it I bought the game after selling it a few weeks before. The netcode improvement is good news though.

It's good to see Mortal Kombat up in the tournament scene for games again. MK X is a "passing down the torch" game and I like the next generation of kombatants. Sure, Story Mode had flaws, but still it surprised me as I was expecting the game to go through the 4-Deception era.

Still, it's good to see Mortal Kombat back in action.

well if there is another MK they will make us wait like 6 years

but next game.....

kung lao, jax, jacquie, kitana, liu kang, cage, sonya, cassie, all need to fuck off for good.

MKX newcomers are crap and boring! Cassie defeating Corrupted Shinnok is fucking stupid! The 3D era characters are better!

Kitana, Mileena, Kano, Johnny, Sonya, Jax, Reptile, Ermac, Liu Kang, Kung Lao and Goro are shitty characters and need to sit it out in the next game. I'm extremely tired of playing the same characters again over and over in any MK game.

We need Chameleon, Khameleon, Fujin, Reiko, Kai, Meat, Jarek, Hsu Hao, Drahmin, Moloch, Frost, Li Mei, Nitara, Mavado, Blaze, Mokap, Ashrah, Dairou, Kira, Darrius, Hotaru, Kobra, Shujinko, Havik, Onaga, Sareena, Taven and Daegon!

i agree, but reptile, kano an mileena can stay

meat, pfftt, you serious?

Meat is a beast :D I kicked a lot of ass with him in MKA.

Ferra/Torr Worst new character!

id take ferra any day over that worthless sack of shit jacquie and the faggot kung jin


duuhhh lets put a ghey guy in da gamez just coz ghey is kewllllllll yay for SJW

Sigh......this is why we can't have nice things.

Seriously, take that bigotry attitude elsewhere.

Seriously though, IMO Jacqui and Jin are worst MK chars since hsu hao and kobra.

There is nothing likable about Kung Jin:
-he is a thief
-he has no manners, acts like an asshole (i hate his attitude and intro talks)
-risks interrealm war for a bread thief
-does not listen to Cassie`s orders in Lin Kuei temple, and after being caught he talks reproachfully to her
-among all players with super powers, firearms and sorcerers...
-...he has BOW AND STICK, AND IS ONE OF MOST POWERFUL CHARS


Jacqui:
-awful design (seriously could not be worse)
-attitude and language of "strong independent black american woman" stereotype which i personally don`t like
-full auto bf4 x.x
-boring fatalities
-clone of Jax gameplay-wise (seriously? What is the point of her when Jax is still playable?)


That is my overall problem with the "kids" - I thought they were cool until I saw that the parents are still playable... The only exception is Takeda, he has abilities of Scorpion subtly mixed with his own, and I`d prefer Cassie over permanently PMS`ed Sonya.

Delete this pls, sent doubly because of connection problems, dammit -.-
