I don't think you understand how it works. If the leaks weren't happening they probably would have waited a bit to reveal them. The leaks were happening so it was reveal them now and still be able to suprise people or it turns into a situation where everyone already knows what's coming.


I promise you that's not how it works. Marketing doesn't just look at online forums and think "gee, they know what we've got. I guess we haven no choice but to reveal it!"

Think about it man. Have we seen any in-game footage of Jax, Erron Black, Shinnok or Liu Kang despite everyone knowing they're in? No we haven't.


I'm not saying all the marketing works like that. Just looking at this situation it seems like something that makes too much sense. Every single trailer they have released they have hyped up a bit or hinted at. There was nothing at all for this and it came out not long after the leaks from xbox. If they really planned on dropping that yesterday you would think they want to make Tanyas hair & stomach look better.

Neither of us can actually know unless you have some inside source at Netherrealm so it doesn't really matter.

So simply put.

No need to be hostile at someone over an opinion or comment. I especially, did nothing to you. And you don't need to be a character fan to give an opinion on a character.


All you had to do was simply say.

The leaks were going to revealed them either way so they decided to just go ahead and show them.

The ONLY thing I'm iffy about with Tanya is her face. Her design and everything is fine. But I know her face can be fixed and tweaked with ease. Look at the 50 million facelifts Cassie had before she was done. You can also ask why reveal Cassie when she wasn't even finished.


And that would had been the end of it.


some people need an outlet for their aggression i guess. But most Tanya fans aren't feeling her look either so i appreciated your post from earlier!

And if other Tanya fans like her current look, then thats good too. Its okay to have a different opinion


It's great to have different opinions! That's what makes life magical. It's just annoying when that's all you see. Ok, I think we got it, most people don't seem to dig Tanya's look so far...alright, do we really need a hundred people posting "OMGZ SHE UGLIES!" one right after the other? It's redundant.

Let's wait and see more of her before we go freaking out. I mean her fans wanted her in, they get her, and the first thing they do is bitch up a storm. I mean damn, at least celebrate a bit first. As said a billion times- Let's wait to see more of her before we jump the gun, these characters are all in different areas of development. I thought Cassie was atrocious the first several times I saw her, now she looks great.

Give it time.

Tremor made this dlc pack worth it.

..but this dlc pack pretty much guarantees more seasons of dlc characters. Because there will definitely be classic returnees.

These were all cult favorites.

I honestly wanted Fujin and Kai but Tanya is acceptable. She was a cool character. BTW LIU KANG. I didn't think he would return.

It amazes me how people piss on someone because they have an opinion that just happens to be negative. Tanya's look is indeed boring and bland. Yes it's cool she's in but her look is boring to some people. Some of you need to get your heads out of your asses.

Nobody is pissing on you for having a differing opinion, it's just annoying when everyone just keep repeating themselves. Seriously, we don't need a thousand "OMFG SHES HORRIBLE" comments.

I hope the male ninja and Kitana and mileena's classic costumes are already unlockables in the game.

Not a huge fan of the goofy themed costumes. If they give Mileena bat wings in her vampire costume I'm not going to know what to think.

This x100. I love how some people keep calling her a 'cavewoman' for absolutely no reason. Tanya doesn't care about her looks. Once you turn your back she'll shank you and steal your money.

You act as if DLC is new. Get over it. It's not like you'll get to a certain point in story and then you'll have to wait because the character for that chapter isn't out yet.


DLC is bad, but releasing UMK3, MKTrilogy, MK Gold, and other update games were awesome and totally not the same thing.


None of it is good at all. I think the major issue people take with DLC is that this stuff is planned from the beginning or before the game has even come out. DLC is fine is it's thought of/created post launch.

Devs need to keep in mind about keeping the game relevant. Look at mario kart 8, and how it took 8 months before any DLC was released for that game. But I agree dlc that is released within the first few weeks after launch is pretty shady.


Mario Kart 8. Boosh! hit the nail on the head. If freaking Mario Kart/ Nintendo don't pull this (the ones who have a struggling console) nobody has an excuse. CD Projekt Red is another one who took a stand against it. They went on about how bad it is and are releasing all their DLC for free. That and A LOT of indie devs. I LOVE MK, we all do but I'm gonna wait out for the complete edition. You're not supporting future NRS games by buying DLC, you're supporting more B.S.

Not to hate on Nintendo, but that's likely one of the reasons they're failing so terribly in terms of money and as a console....because they do things against the grain that are confirmed to make tons of money for companies. Does it make them cool in the eyes of their fans? Yes, of course. Is it a smart business move? Not at fucking all.

You people need to remember this; they are not here for our benefit, they are not looking out for our best interests, they are a company looking to make money. DLC makes money. That is that.

I'm not interested in Jason at all,but I'm still really happy for the people that practically lost their shit at his announcement.

As for Predator, it's safe to say that a vast majority of us prefer one or zero guests, and while I'm not a huge fan of the character, I'm practically drooling at thought of what his move set variations could be.

Not a huge Tanya fan, but again, really psyched for all the fans that wanted her in, and don't worry... I'm sure she'll be awesome by the time she comes out. I like that they put a post-trilogy character in and I'll definitely try her out.

I really love that they put Tremor in. I'm sure the petition had a little to do with it, but I get the feeling they just wanted another lore-type character, regardless of his origins.

I think he looks cool and as Minion said, if they can make people love Stryker, why not Tremor?

Let's face it, Ermac was a glitch, Noob Saibot was a play on the creators names, Rain was a Prince reference, etc. Are we really going to look that harshly on Tremor just because he came from a crappy game?

As for the whole "classic" debate and what constitutes a classic character... Please. It's a marketing term. Hell, Xbox had Intersteller listed as "a sci-fi classic" and that movie's slightly less than Trilogy aged.

Maybe it's time you rethink the word. I don't think it's just trilogy characters anymore.

As for characters like Fujin, Reiko, Li Mei, Bo Rai Cho, etc... I hope they make a second batch of DLC, but the whole idea that some characters are more deserving than others? Nah, I don't buy that.. It's all subjective.

I really want Sareena in the game and I think she could be VERY story relevant, but I don't see that as her being more deserving in general. I think that just means that I like her more than many others and can more easily justify her being in the game, partially because of it.

There's no fact-based, predetermined hierarchy of character value and even if there was, a case can always be made for a vast majority of characters.

Either way, I'd really like to see them. But I'm still really happy that NRS got bold with their choices and didn't just put in the MK characters that might sell the most. Who knows, maybe guests allowed them to be more bold in the first place?



Someone with a brain on MKO? Say it ain't so.

All this Tanya/Tremor hate is mad filthy.

They're making a AAA game funded by WB. They're not going to bed hungry. Then again, I'm not bothered by DLC itself. I'm bothered by guest characters. Carry on.

While this is true, look to WB's other massive hit franchise; Arkham. 2 Pre-Order exclusives, always has DLC, now does Story Packs. They seem to like their games to follow that model so people might as well just get used to it. NRS's past 2 packs were smashing successes. They're not going to stop all of a sudden.

If they do another Kombat Pack, realistically, I see it being;
1) Trilogy Male
2) 3D Female
3) 3D Male
4) Goro (for those who didn't Pre-Order - because it's practically inevitable)

If it's just 2 more characters like Injustice, then;
1) Trilogy Male
2) 3D Female

No, we don't need to wait that long for Goro. He won't be in any Kombat Pack and he'll still be available for separate purchase in the store for those who don't pre-order. Shaun Himmerick said as much on Twitter.

Also, I'm gonna legit facepalm if Frost or Sareena make it in over Fujin because of arbitrary diversity. Fuck the female character quota.
