I have been put off greatly, by the fact that this isn't going to fit into MK canon. I had accepted that it wouldn't fit into DC canon because it's so rich and so many things could be affected. But it would be so easy just to fit it into the MK story, especially with this whole thing being started by a huge magical event, and MKA finishing with a HUGE MAGICAL EVENT. It's like, you'll play through the storyline and everything, awesome things will happen, and it won't be worth anything because it never happened. Why bother even playing? In fact, why bother going to all the trouble of coming up with a story in the first place? The 'alternate universe' thing is bollocks too, it's not gonna be 'Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe', it'll be 'A Universe that kinda looks like MK with similar people but isn't really MK vs. DC Universe'. I don't see a valid reason why it should be non-canon, it just seems like they're covering their backs for all the douches who still won't accept this game could be awesome. I'd join the masses saying that they won't buy this game, but I'd be lying, I'll still buy it. But this whole non-canon thing has upset me greatly, as playing it will just be a huge waste of time.

What could we have possibly missed on noob.com!?

Certain major events could be alluded to and it could help to develop each character for later on without specifically name-dropping a DC character in a later game. In fact, I don't think they'd be ALLOWED to name-drop due to copyrights and whatnot. I wanted this to be MK Canon. But if you notice, the guys in the MKast were sort of vague about it. They said it does take into account the backstory and character of all the MK guys. All they really said was it doesn't "fit in" any place in the MK Canon, like it isn't between game X and game Y.
