Here's my opinion..

F*ck Alien. Sure the shit looks cool and all and the idea of Alien and Predator being able to rip each other apart is kind of awesome, but that shit is going to get old reallllllll quick. Wow

F*CK LEATHERFACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Bo Rai Cho! The OG in the game. He's a breath of fresh air. Can't wait to see how he plays!:D

If the Cyborg is Sektor, Cyrax AND Smoke in 3 separate variations I'm f*cking HYPED about that! F*ck yeah why not?? Anything short of that is lame. The design is CRAP though. Lazy and uninspired.

Bottom line, I'd take Authentic MK characters over guest characters ANY DAY. I wouldn't care if they said that Chuck Norris was gonna be in the game! As badass as that sounds, MK needs to be MK againsad

Spare you? Never. I'll give out whenever I feel like. Just like you can defend the trashpack whenever you feel like.


See, that's what I don't get. You're not going to waste money on something, so why bother to continue complaining about it?

I'll be happy defending a product I'm content, but I'm not going to do it constantly because then it just becomes annoying. Wouldn't constantly complaining about you being unhappy that the developers didn't cave to your needs start becoming tiresome?

That's all I meant with your panties, despite I really don't want to know how they are on you.

It's not just the awards show, even all of the official accounts are practically ignoring the fact its been officially revealed.

Either there is a giant miscommunication between the developers and their PR team or they are in crisis mode.


Hence why I've been repeating myself to just keep looking forward to tomorrow. I'm sure they have an answer or something else to bring to the table. It's why I'm not going ape shit yet, even though I doubt I will since I kinda like what they did here with their latest pack.


I have no faith they'll announce something else. Announce what is essentially a bandaid for this terrible pack. If they do..swell I'll take the bandaid (especially if its who I've been wanting for months) but still I have no faith in them doing that. And why should I? Its just stupid guest after stupid guest nowadays.

I keep complaining because it keeps being shitty. Just because I'm not putting money towards it doesn't mean I'm going to let it go.

And they can fuck off if they expect us to pay for The Pit if it comes with this.

Make no mistake I WANT to give NRS my money (I even put up with the netcode) but they're just not letting me.

Like I said, fuck what kind of fan you are. A fan is a fan. Does it really make a goddamn different how long you've been in a series for? To you guys, it seems like you either had to be playing in the 90s, or else you're a mediocre fan who's ruining everything for those who's been here since the beginning.

The reason why I'm acting like everyone should be at least happy that Netherrealm gave us something is because that's the point. They didn't have to give us anything. They could have easily flipped us fans off after them receiving death threats and harassment demanding so-and-so be in it. But they gave us stuff, whether it is what people wanted or not still. They gave all of us something. You can either be stubborn and still continue to hate it even after they show us gameplay of these four, or you could at least have an open mind and wait to see what they're like.

I'm fucking placing bets that at least a quarter of you will tune into watching Tyler and Derek showcase them and have some sort of interest. I guarantee that at least a quarter of you will turn.

So if (and a big if) there ever was to be a future story pack, does Baraka-Xenomorph rule out Baraka's inclusion from it? Because why else would do that unless they had no intention of developing Baraka but wanted to appeal to those who like his style of gameplay?


If they can have Johnny Cage, Cassie Cage, and Sonya Blade in the game, all who many stated from the beginning were all going to play alike, I'm sure they can fit in Xenomorph and Baraka if they were to make him for a future pack.

Yes, the Xenomorph takes forum of its host and pretty much becomes it along with what it carries. I'm sure we've all seen the Alien trilogy (I refuse to accept Resurrection into it). But I would assume it would play more so towards the Xenomorph rather than Baraka.

I can't see it doing his classic blade spark by raising its leg in the air.


Yeah but Johnny, Sonya and Cassie don't really play alike. Not really. Like they literally gave the Alien who already has acid blood, big ass spiky tail, little mini toothy tongue thing, facehuggers and chestburster and is all teeth and claws anyway the one defining feature Baraka has. It just seems so extra. It reads more like they're saying 'Baraka's never coming, so we stuffed some Baraka into Alien.' I dunno. I'm definitely way more in to Alien than Leatherface.

I didn't mean the "hardcore" as how long people have been playing, more of just a non guest crowd. I'm semi happy with the pack for Bo and the Tri-borg thing. I definitely don't need to be happy just because they gave us something. Why would anyone be happy for something they don't want? It's not like video games are bare market, there is always other shit to spend time on. I wanted something that made me excited to get back into MKX, not kinda excited.

You not giving them money can start showing Netherrealm that people are unhappy over those who are endlessly attacking all of the developers' Twitter accounts.

I mean, if you are 100% unsatisfied and will continue refusing to buy their products, then do what you say and don't give them money. Them not getting the sales will show that they were in the wrong. I'm sure a few of the complaints made to them got to them and made them realize that this move was a risk that wasn't well-liked. But when you actually do take action and refuse to give them money is when they start getting the fucking answer.

So like I said, if you're that unhappy with their move, then don't bother getting their products anymore. Let them know you're pissed. And I am not being sarcastic with this if you think I am.

people bitch no matter what if their happy or not

people can have opinions, look you are bitching that people are bitching.

everyone can be upset, get super mad or the opposite, people wanted certain things they didnt get it pissed them off, i get NRS can't please everyone

but fans or superfans like the games for the most part cause of their favorite character is there hell i'll be honest if Kitana was not revealed i would have wanted for the game to go on sale i have 4 other brothers so i grow up playing this game and liking Kitana

when i play the game i play other people i don't mind them, but Kitana is what got me to buy the game at launch

so if people are upset about the characters they choose they have a right

yes you can choose to not buy or buy the ones you like, but getting mad cause people get mad it just annoying forums were made to let people put out their opinions on what they like and don't like

but seriously i never saw people on ed's tweet, forums or youtube be all PUT LEATHERFACE HE IS SO COOL

i saw more NOOB, RAIN, FUJIN, FREDDY, FROST, SAREENA, SINDEL, SPAWN to name a few

we are fans if we weren't fans of these games/movies/comics they would not continue making them. we give them the money that makes them rich, movies wouldn't be number 1 at the box office if people did not go see them.

people need characters/people they like to enjoy the game, etc etc yes you can enjoy other characters when you try them out but your fav character in a game is for a reason

And honestly no. I've said some shit yeah, but I still can't give a full opinion on the pack because I haven't seen gameplay or what the other content actually is. All you've seen from me was reactions and initial thoughts.


Thank you. FINALLY someone says something worth pointing out. YOU and everyone else hasn't seen anything with these characters. First impressions are all it takes with a bunch of Mortal Kombat fans. How anyone can instantly judge base on no gameplay is beyond me.

We're all guilty, I mean I already said I'm getting it without looking at what these four can do. But again, the same goes into those who refuses to get this. I gaurentee you that half of these folks who are raging at their screens are going to log on when Netherrealm does their casts in the future to showcase what these four are capable of doing as actual playable characters. Will what they do change their minds? To some, mostly yeah. Others, they might still be stubborn to not let things have a chance to impress.

At least you stated that you haven't seen other stuff and actual gameplay footage unlike everyone else who immediately jumped on the hate bandwagon. So kudos to you. I like people who actually sounds like they're gonna at least give it a chance. (Unless you're lying but you seem like a nice guy not to)


Here's why I'm unhappy. I'll give you the root of my problem with this.

The core fans are being completely tossed aside in favor of pleasing the casual audience by bringing in more guest characters.

You can say a fan is a fan but let me say there is most definitely a distinction. He people who wanted more guests are people who probably haven't the game in months. The people who wanted MK characters are probably people who continued to play for a lot longer. It's like we don't matter because we're in the minority despite staying with these guys and their awful netcode for a lot longer than the guys who played for a month and quit.

Unfortunately you're talking to a crowd of people that don't get it and that's a problem. Some people don't get that Netherealm doesn't need to cater 100% of their moves to their audience no matter how loud they speak. It's their game. Just like with every other video game company out there. In the end, it's their product. They're in control of what they do with it. They can cater to the fans as much as they want and hear what they have to say. But in the end, it's their stuff, not ours. We only give them money to keep shelving out their products. We're the ones responsible in telling them what we liked and didn't like and it's then their turn to produce from our comments. The moment they see a down in sales is the moment the fans take action and show them they're unsatisfied. But if the sales keeps going into the millions, then obviously they're doing something right. With all this talk about "hardcore fans" I'm sure if every single goddamn hardcore fan were to not buy the next Mortal Kombat game, you'd have an unsuccessful seller.

Netherrealm doesn't have to do squiddly squat to their fans. They took a risk, something most companies do. Sometimes risks go well, other times not so much. You can't say they're not allowed to do their own moves. That, we the fans are the only ones allowed to make their decisions. Because if so, that's horrible. Oh-so fucking horrible.

Kitana147 Wrote:

Okay? I bought Mortal Kombat because it's Mortal Kombat. I really don't have a favorite character in the series. I like playing as all of them. Some people don't really care who's in it. Others, like yourself, do. I don't have a problem with that. I know there are people out there who refuses to buy something if their favorite isn't in. I don't have a problem with that. If you don't like something and you are completely unsatisfied, then don't get it. Unlike a lot of people, I don't give a damn what you do in the end.

All I'd like for people to do, is at least have an open mind for once. Not that many people actually do that, but it would be a nice change for once.

Sweetie, I am not mad. Me replying to a bunch of people who are obviously upset at this reveal and replying to them again and again isn't making me mad. It's called "having a conversation."

The problem with "we are fans" is that you have people literally labeling who's a casual and who is hardcore. To me, I find that fucking ridiculous because a fan is a fan. I don't give a damn if you have been playing since the original, or just started out when Mortal Kombat 9 came out. You are a fan if you enjoy what you played and want to continue getting the series when more games come out.

You're saying that there's people that want more guests but I'm also reading from other users here that no one said they wanted Leatherface. So I don't think there's been a lot of people saying they want more guest characters. I'm sure Alien was what many were trying to refer because that was just one big rumor from the beginning. But they included a character that not a single person uttered so how did that come into play if people were begging for guests? That's the part that doesn't make sense.

I wanted the DLC though. I wanted to give them my money so I could continue supporting them. I wanted to be excited for MK again. But then they release 3 characters I just have no interest in. Even if their gameplay is stellar, I can't see myself spending money on something I just don't want.

You wanna know why we got Leatherface? Because of those people on twitter saying "More horror characters pls" and NRS knowing that guest characters sell better than MK characters. People just love the idea of non MK characters doing a Fatality. Cool for them, bad for anyone who wanted more MK characters.

Soooo if they had used a different guest character, this Ash fella, it would be different? A different guest character could have made people happier if I'm reading this correctly? (I'm probably not but.)

I'm confused here. Would Ash from Evil Dead change many minds here that are truly upset at this? Because he's a guest, and most of the complaints I see are "why more guests?"

Unless this is just more so of a "your" thing and not the majority here. Then pardon this post.
