So it looks like MK9 tried to deviate from a timeline and that's not allowed so everything's gonna get hosed up for it.

I thought Mortal Kombat X was the most violent video game ever made, and at the time it was absolutely true, but this blows that violence out of the water and then rips its spine out with the brain still attached and then literally takes a bite into it.

Not gonna lie that part really got me going

It really showed off how incredibly good they’ve gotten at the character designs too

I guess the "leak" was half bullshit and half real since the roster leak doesn't have Skarlet/Baraka on it but was right about the VAs and names like Kronika/Geras

The email leak was real, it had those names but no roster. The leaked roster following that was fake, and just used names from the real email.

Fewer characters revealed than I hoped for but Baraka was absolutely on my list of characters I didn't expect to get back but really wanted so i'm happy.

Also that mustache guy was poo poo but Ronda Rousey is rad.

I was extremely hyped and I was not disappointed in the least, hell the graphics/presentation almost blew me away. If the gameplay is at least as good as it was in MKX (which I have no reason to doubt), I foresee myself spending yet another 1000+ hours on this game.

OK time for realtalk.

How much of this game is likely to be hosed up with WB's bullshit? Lootboxes to get gear? Microtransactions to buy Kombat Koins? Season passes that don't include all the DLC?

As hype am I am for this game I'm not forgetting who's putting it out.

You could buy the lootboxes in Injustice 2 but it was total overkill, I think everybody complained that you got too MUCH gear in that game. Season pass DLC appears to be the standard grift that everybody puts up with in fighting games these days.

did you play Injustice 2 because there were no purchasable lootboxes for gear and I doubt this will change, there was no way to get gear or anything thru cash. Literally the only thing you could buy with real monies were colors and some premier skins. Also the season pass I got for Injustice 2 included all the characters

With MKXI coming out very soon, I was kinda expecting at least close to a full roster reveal, and run down of all gameplay modes. There's still lots of time to talk about all of that stuff though.

I fully expect for this game to rotten with it. I still remember when MKX came out and they severely nerfed koin payout while at the same time putting a $20 krypt unlock dlc.

Jax is either dead by Erron Black's hand or retired again due to not even wanting to fight in MKX. Wouldn't be surprised if he sits this out due to appearing in 2 straight games (which by MK standards is now a long time)

Nope. I just remember "Easy Fatalities," costumes not included in season passes, pre-ordering for Goro, and poo poo like that. Also let's remember that they hosed up Shadow of War so bad hey had to completely rebalance the game after taking lootboxes out after people poo poo on the game so much.




Also speaking of Injustice, I just rewatched that tease, and I'm pretty sure it was Flash that ran by, which would make sense.

LOL if you don't think Ed Boon will dole the roster out, one by one, piecemeal over Twitter mixed with dumb polls and trolling in order to maximize interest until release day.

oh yeah MKX was pretty bad about this. Injustice 2 was a bit better about it and included everything off the bat. It's sad but DLC bullshit and preorder characters is now a part of every single fighting game in existence. The worst was probably SFV but it was in everything last year (SC5, BBTag's half the roster, DBFZ)
