DLC Thought

I was thinking that it would be cool if they added new chapters to the story. We can mostly agree Rain is going to be the first DLC character, but instead of just being able to play as him, they made him his own chapter, it wouldn't be in the original story obviously, but you could still choose to play that individual chapter whenever you wanted and it would be canon.

Yeah like every character gots its own ending, I'm all for that.

...Nah. It'd glorify him to some extent, then people would cry and nag about why ____ didn't get a DLC chapter and yada yada.

i'm not talking about just rain, but for every DLC character rain, reiko, fujin, kenshi whatever, they all get a DLc chapter so evryones happy. All the original characters would already have their part in the story from the beginning, so they wouldn't get a dlc chapter

I'm honestly all for the idea. I've mentioned it in several posts, but the tend to wither down to nothing. My proposition is this.

Instead of creating a brand new game in two years, ever year release a "Mortal Kombat Expansion Pack". Make it available as DLC or a hard copy for those who still want the disk.

The expansion pack or disk would have extra story chapters, characters that went with those chapters, new fatalities and costumes for old and new characters.

Release something like this every year for $20 - $30. It would give the MK fans something to have every year--a new update. Meanwhile, WB would still be getting a comparable amount of money per expansion. Instead of $60 every 2.5 years, the $20 - $30 every year.

It would be great for MK fans who buy MK9, because then you don't have to pay $60+ for a new game that has only some changes. Besides that, we know they aren't going to completely throw out the game engine and start new every time, so why should we pay for the same game with updated features?

It would also be good because somebody couldn't just jump into the middle of the story 3 expansions down the road without playing through all previous stories.

Maybe it's just me, but I see this solution as a win win from all sides.

I would absolutely love this! It would be great to see some elaboration on some of the characters' stories. Rain is a great example.

im just hoping for new characters. but id love to see Tanya and rain.

Good idea mate.

That would be awesome. They could be like "lost chapters" from story mode.

I totally go for this. It would satisfy my MK urges as far as the story would go lol

Yeah it is a good idea for the DLC to be more than just a character only but story too and challenges even would be nice touches and more bang for your buck and incentive to buy but how do you have a lost chapter fighting people that are already dead?

Correct me if I am wrong but are fatalities alowed in story mode or only at certain momments in the story mode?

Absolutely, it'd only make sense to bring story with the character as opposed to just another playable character. I'm all for this.

Good idea. It would be able to fit them into the story instead of having them drop from the sky, and **BOOM** new char.
