Why not Shinnock as DLC?

Re: Why not Shinnok as DLC?

I use to think they shouldn't since he's the boss to the next game but I think he should now. People who are now just getting into Mortal Kombat should know about Lord Shinnok.
 
Re: Why not Shinnok as DLC?

He is too important for the next game.

Also IMO he is boring, but that's just me.
 
Re: Why not Shinnok as DLC?

I can definitely see both sides of the argument on this one.

On the one hand, leaving him until MK10 would let them show him off in all his revamped glory story-wise and allow him to be an unplayable boss in hopes of making him feel more worthy of being the end boss for the game. It leaves them with more time and resources to expend on him.

On the other hand, releasing him as MK9 DLC would offer a nice teaser for his role in the next game, it could introduce him to the people who never saw him originally before his potentially big role in MK10, and if he was a good fighter than it could help swing favorable opinion toward him (which would be helpful after his generally unpopular end boss role in MK4).

Indeed. Stryker's not my favorite, but he's come a long way from his MK3 days. He always looked like a pedophile to me, it was creepy. Now he's pretty cool.

stryker kicks shinnoks ass


I'd rather them randomly put 2 strkyers in the game instead of shinnok
 
Re: Why not Shinnok as DLC?

Absolutely not. They need to keep him away from this game (excluding his little appearance near the end). He's probably gonna be the big bad in the next game. You don't want to ruin it by making him a DLC character. Save his wowness for a better time and place.
 
Re: Why not Shinnok as DLC?

What Matt said.

And because that would make like.. 3 albinos total in this game.

Bahahah! I can TOTALY agree with you on that one! I ABSOLUTELY HATED STRYKER in MK3,UMK3, AND Armageddon! HE WAS A USELESS BOOB! But now, hes crazy cool! And I dont think Shinnok should be in this game. Infact I have a very STRONG FEELING that he wont be in this game. It only makes SENSE to have him in the NEXT game!!!!

I still think he still boring lol, but his x-ray is by far one if not the coolest in the game :)

I also used to think that he should be held off, but i dont see why not now, if they plan to support this game for a couple of years, i say bring him on.

also to Fox17s, i know what you mean about him being boring, but so was kano imho, and look at him now lol
i think just like all the characters so far, some where not my favorites and i used to think that they sucked, but now i find myself playing as them, as nrs did a great job on making pretty much all the characters cool in this game :)
 
Re: Why not Shinnok as DLC?

I dont mind having him as dlc, i will buy him and every dlc char release (even if mokap is release)
 
Re: Why not Shinnok as DLC?

...... because, as others have mentioned, he'll probably be the MAIN baddy in MK 10.




On a side note:

Who else wants to see MK: Fire and Ice as the next NRS project?
 
Re: Why not Shinnok as DLC?

Nay, too many GoW copies.

I don't know why there would be a second game other than for the story (lol), but if that was the case then it would be a bad idea to put Shinnok on this roster. It makes it more climactic for people to be exposed to Shinnok in his brightest light, as a evil boss type villian. Putting him in as DLC would make people look past him and anticipate less for the next game.
