this game needs better unlockables

I disagree. The story has been absolute shit since the release of Shaolin Monks, and MK9 is no exception. In fact, MK9 completely ruined the original story.

You don't need unlockable characters to make a game replayable. It's just a cop out; make a good game and it's replayable enough. I, for one, know that it wasn't the unlockables that kept me coming back to MK9. It was the game itself It's not that I want everything handed on a platter, in fact, I want the game to be harder... It's that I just don't want to waste time playing modes I don't care about like Arcade mode or Test your might to unlock characters that I want to play. Playing against the CPU is agonisingly boring.
 
Everyone plays the game for their own reason. For one person to say "it'll screw up the competitive scene" if there's many unlockables is just as equivalent for a single player, completion seeking player to say "screw the competitive scene, we want more focus on our single player experience". There's no cop out for the latter for wanting replayability with unlockables, that's just how they play the game, they want objectives to complete, similarly how competitive players play to want to be the best. This is what makes MK more unique out of all the fighters because it caters effectively to both audiences.

This is why I propose they should give the player the option to make a one time permanent decision once you start the game for the first time. You either choose A. Competitive Experience, or B. Story Experience. Once chosen, you can't go back unless you delete save game data, so that way, you're compelled to stick to that one experience.
 
Unlockables usually don't ruin the competitive scene, but can can be an annoyance for players who don't want to waste time unlocking the content. Unlockables are at best are short term goals, they don't nessarily encourage staying for the long haul once everything is unlocked.

Competitively, the only noteworthy games in the series are UMK3 and MK9. The former was more or less an accident, the latter because the MK team finally got their shit together.

I really loved the krypt in MK9 in terms of presentation. Only problem was the huge lack of kontent. They should let you unlock characters and stages again like they did in Deception.
 
Unlockables seem to be a thing of the past. It's all about DLC these days. :shot:

MK9's unlockables were atrocious. So disappointing.
 
Unlockables should be something characters can use.

I.E- Unlocking a krypt and you get a new faceplate for Kano, that you can change out or a different set of knives for him to use.

Unlockable characters don't work for tournaments.

Then give the precious tournament players an unlock code. I don't like unlockable characters because of replay value, i like it because its fun. MK Deception was some of the most fun i've had unlocking characters
 
Unlock able should be...

- More fun videos such as "Cooking with Scorpion" but all characters in the main roster should have a video of his/her own. Girls pole dancing would be AWESOME!!!

- Alternate Costumes

- Some characters such as playable boss characters and hopefully the characters that died in MK9 especially Jade.
