Yes. This. Very much. Even if you could have her as an alternate costume for every character, it would be hilarious.

The wait isn't what bothers me. Between Fallout 4, Battlefront, and MGS5 I'll have my hands full for quite some time.

That said, I would like to know whether or not I even want the pack to begin with. And that largely depends on who's in there. If it's Baraka, Rain, and Sindel I'll pass. But if it's something like Fujin, Li Mei, Sareena, and Cyrax well then that's awesome.

Problem is I have no idea how long I have to wait until I find out if I even want the damn pack.

Will they make an extra edition to story mode? New characters, new chapters?

It'd be just like Super SFIV.

You're insulting people, because unlike you they don't like what is going on (U MAD).

...No one owes you anything...


We don't owe NRS anything either, so when they do stupid shit it is fair to call them on it, which is exactly why people are expressing their disdain.

Face it, you're all upset because Boon didn't give you what YOU ALL wanted so now you're going to be upset and not play the game anymore...


People are upset, because they don't like what happened. You're saying you're not mad (although you seem awfully mad) so like you I'm going to tell you why and how you are feeling, because that is exactly what you are doing.

Anyway, I think the KP2 announcement of an announcement, from the Kombat Kast announcement was dumb, and I'm indifferent to the whole thing. I think if KP2 is coming out "eventually" in 2016, it doesn't even make sense to do anything other than wait for the Komplete Edition.

No shit. I don't get why people are still complaining about their marketing though. You've bought the game because something about the series is to your liking. You'll continue to throw your money at them. I am confident that at least 85% of the people complaining in this very thread will go out and buy the DLC no matter who they are.

Face it, the game has gotten you interested, and no matter how poor their marketing is, you're still going to get whatever it is they're creating. So why even bother to complain at all?

I totally forgot, expressing your opinion and making light insults get taken very seriously on this site. I forget at times I'm talking to very sensitive people here.

If being call a spoiled brat is too much, I don't even know how to finish that sentence.

Yeah, and no offense to everyone, but a lot of you are taking this way too freaking personally to where it seems like someone has just kidnapped your family. I can understand the disappointment. I'm not blind, I see both views of the issue. I however, don't care for how a lot are taking it, and I feel that they are too spoiled about it.

Still there is no getting through to you, and you're basically exhibiting the qualities of someone with a thick skull.


I can be compassionate, but when people automatically assume I'm being "mad" because I express heavily, I'll keep throwing out some harsh language. You honestly cannot tell who or what I'm like through a couple of posts that, according to YOU, seems "mad". I shouldn't have to constantly explain to people that I'm not, I think it's ridiculous how some of you are coming to that conclusion all because I'm "expressing" myself that I think most of this outrage is a tad bit ridiculous.

But you know what, keep thinking I'm mad. If you think you can't get through to me, kay. Keep judging, keep assuming, I'll just keep writing posts the way I want to and if you have a problem, I suggest you either scroll right past my posts, or don't even bother posting to me.

That's the point, the "outrage" you are claiming everyone is exhibiting about how they feel, it is literally the same annoying thing you're doing. It's in your own words "ridiculous", but carry on.

You've made a lot of good points on this site but no offense, this is the most ridiculous thing I've seen you post. Why complain? Why call them out on it if we're still gonna buy it? I'm still gonna buy it cause I'm a fanboy, that's what I do. I buy Mortal Kombat shit. But with that said, if they do something I don't like, why not call them out on it? Why not express my opinion that I think Boon's stupidly silly PR tactics are just that; stupidly silly. Why post a picture with a tagline reading "Tomorrow?" that leads people to assume we're going to get some sort of reveal considering that is what he has done on Twitter for every reveal in the past yet the very next day we get the exact same thing, only confirming what we already knew because Boon posted it 12 hours before hand? Everyone and their brother knew that that picture meant KP2 was coming, we didn't need two paragraphs confirming that. It makes no logical sense why they handled that the way they did in the first place. It's like him confirming The Pit by posting the screen grab from MK9, yet the official press release is still acting like it's a secret by referring to it as just an "additional arena" like we're all gonna be super shocked and surprised by it or something when we finally see it. It's ridiculous.

Unlike a lot of companies, the good folks at NRS chat with us and generally, for the most part, listen to what we have to say about a lot of things so if we disagree with the way they went about things, why not call them out? Or are we supposed to just sit back and be okay with whatever they throw at us? There are a number of things that have happened in this franchise purely due to fans being vocal so asking why we wouldn't vocally express our disappointment is silly. Clearly they listen. Now with that said, there's a right way to do it and a wrong way. In the most part are people being childish about it? Yeah, absolutely. Trolling Boon on Twitter and calling him names and shit is just stupid and immature. However, there's nothing wrong with expressing your concerns or disappointment here because at the end of the day, I'm just venting. I'm not personally insulting them. lol

I'm not asking for all the characters to be revealed now. I'm not asking to know everything in the pack. I don't care because I know I'm gonna buy it regardless. What I'm angry and disappointed with is the fact he rubbed it in everyone's faces despite it being anywhere from 4-6 months away when they could've easily waited to reveal it. There was absolutely no need because let's face it, everyone knew deep down more DLC was coming. If they didn't, they weren't fully using their head or thinking logically. Yes, it was the best selling game of the year so far despite how shitty they handled reveals, imo. Whether it was just The Pit, whether it was two more characters like Injustice with The Pit tacked on, or a KP2, everybody and their brother knew we were getting something so a confirmation at this point and time wasn't necessary.

I support Mortal Kombat. I'm not gonna say I support NRS cause I've never bought nor touched Injustice because, despite me liking DC characters and being a Batman fanboy as well, using those characters in a fighting game as opposed to the Arkham games and being "immersed" as Batman just is not appealing to me. However, with that said, considering how much money I've shoveled into this franchise, if they do something I don't like or that I think was stupid, I'm gonna call them out on it. Not because I'm entitled but because i have the common sense to look at this from an outsiders point of view and say "Hmmmm, well that was a stupid decision" instead of just grasping at the scraps whenever they're thrown at us.

With that said, I think I've said all I can say about this topic so I'm gonna move on. I've vented enough that I'm pretty much over it but I still think it was a stupid decision on their part to announce an announcement in the same way Boon would tease an official reveal. Whether he meant to or not, he led a lot of people on and that's where the anger comes from.

Your assumptions are invalid because i still have yet to buy the kombat pack. The game got boring after a month and the fighting system is trash mk9 was so much better. Some people are only interested if their fav is in the pack. I want to know now so if fujin is not in i can sell the game off while its still worth something. He would be the only reason my mkx would no longer collect dust. Everyone isnt still playing this game much better games have relesead and will release soon that this game will be an afterthought.

Except, did I say that EVERYONE in this thread will go out to buy a Kombat Pack? No, I did not. I said that "85% of the people who are complaining in this thread will go out and buy it no matter who's in the pack." That means the 15% of others in this thread won't. Clearly, that means you. If you don't believe me, re-read my post, I didn't edit a single thing.

I feel like you either didn't get my point, or read what you wanted to read to make this argument. I know not every single person is going to go out and immediately buy it, but I know some will. I'm not going to say who they are, because I don't know any of you people nor would I like to know you on a personal basis. I just know despite people are angry about this "poor widdle thing" Boon did, people are still going to buy it. Now, those who are quoting me, do I think they are going to as well? How the fuck should I know?

I wouldnt say 85% if you are referring to the pack itself. I'll say 85% will buy some sort of dlc from the pack. But right you or i don't know someone here could buy the pack and lie and say they didnt for the sake of trolling.

My choices fro left to right:

1. Enemra -- technically Smoke but he is no longer Smoke now is he? In story mode he called himself Enemra. My other choice was Noob Saibot. Clearly it is a male ninja that has those upper arm bands.

2. Frost -- clearly #2 is a female. The slanting shoulder of the female figure give away the gender. In story mode or even the MK universe only Frost has that spikey hair.

3. Baraka -- the top of the head and armor on the shoulders told me this is Baraka. He always had that extra rounded top of the head. He also wore that armor in story mode.

4. (Tough one) I'm ging with Li Mei -- sillhouette is small and shaped correctly for a woman. The hair and short sleeves also says it could be her; she looked like that in story mode. My other choices here are Rain, Shujinko or Bo'Rai Cho

There would be a huge outrage is there was no female. That's why I still think that's it's ashrah if the silhouettes are real, her robe/kimono thing would be that shape

I'm not sure why so many people believe Baraka is one of them. I know the first character seems to be bald-headed, but the arm bands are not anything he wore at all in the story and they've mostly recycled costumes at this point (like Tanya without minor tweaks).

The only person who matches those upper arm bands and the gauntlet type is Fujin from story mode, and the "bald" head type is his hair being slicked back. The style in MKX had his ponytail very low so it wouldn't appear from an up-front view. Bo' Rai Cho's is pretty spot-on too. I don't believe any of these characters are Baraka.
