We gotta remember, during MK9 they did some communication to give assurance to fans. When Freddy got announced, that's when people got pissed and started saying stuff like "If I knew he would be the fourth character, I wouldn't have purchased the season pass." There was also a lot of issues that people had with the attire of the female characters (which I'll get back too soon). So for MKX, they did a s*** ton of communication. The adjusted all of the females' attires to be more mature and less sexual like people asked for. We got tid bits of information literally ever week except sometime in October until Dec/Jan. Gave out so much information to the point that they over promised on a lot of things that turned out to be lies (whether unintentionally or otherwise). Because of that, they had to make many changes during that time (like fixing an unfinished Tanya and fixing the PC port) and even remove some other stuff (like Season 3 of Legacy, year 2 of the comic, and the web series). So now with MK11, we're begging and questioning and wondering when the game would be revealed and got nothing until December. You have people complaining about costumes again, except for the exact opposite reasoning as MK9 due to the current climate of hating on games to push agendas and whoever-the-hell decided to say that the changes were to push an agenda rather than just stating that these changes already existed in MKX due to complaints in MK9. So now, we want any and all information and because they have to carefully decide what to say so they don't get flak it's starting to have negative repercussions on both sides. We get no information so it feels dry and slow. They give no information so they get bombarded until they do.
Welp, we'll be getting some Nightwolf info on Thursday, per Boon's Twitter.
As for waiting for DLC, if I've waited for 22 years for an original Fujin with new Fatalities, what's another few months (if the data mining is real)?
And also seriously, dude? Game has political references in their intros, one of the endings suddenly talks about getting woke, and you're telling me there is no political agenda? Ok.
I would believe that if Nightwolf & Baraka never had the exact same endings. Are the political intros using current day slogans corny? Absolutely. But using the word woke don't mean is specifically meant to be polical though. Remove the line with the word woke and it's still the same ending.
Here is hoping you won't get same treatment I got with Frost after waiting for her for 8 years. Only to get shat on.

Didn't they say that characters take around 1 month to make on one of those Kombat Kasts? While I do agree and see your explanation plausible, I am thinking that they are just trying to prolong game's life by dangling the carrot for a bit longer. They are trying to stretch out the hype. Or they are running on skeletal crew now and already putting resources in Injustice 3 development.
Either way it is still pretty bad. If people are getting this pissed at DLC release dates, it just says that game isn't keeping them interested enough to distract them from long waiting times.
Ed said that it's not their choice (likely regarding the prolonging of DLC) just recently, so it's definitely a WB thing and not a NRS thing.
"Another update:
MK11 players waiting to hear news about DLC characters. We know this timing isn't ideal and FWIW this isn't our choice. But thanks for hanging in there with us. Things are still looking good for the Nightwolf game-play trailer tomorrow. Stay tuned..."

He's also made up his mind that he hates Mortal Kombat as a brand.I get that he's a troll, but let's not act like they don't answer to anyone.
They DO have to answer to WB and if WB is having them delay stuff to match certain releases (aka Terminator in November), then it's very possible / plausible that the delays or on purpose by WB and not ideally what NRS' schedule would have been.
You've already made up your mind that he's the most evil developer on the planet and out to screw you at every angle between the PC port issues (which aren't done in-house), Frost (which I can empathize with) and various other things, though, so there's no changing your mind.
On a different note, here's the latest Nightwolf trailer......

Come on now. There's no point reasoning with someone who hates Mortal Kombat so much that he registered here for the specific purpose of spreading anti-MK propaganda because he wants every game to fail. And no, his hatred of MK isn't just limited to WB, NRS, Edward John Boon, or anything like that. He hates the Mortal Kombat brand, he hates the Mortal Kombat name, and he hates everything about Mortal Kombat.Holy shit!
I was just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that perhaps there's more going on in the background, since we don't work there and it seemed like he was being sincere about apologizing.
Wasn't there a report that came out recently that stated how NRS employees were being over-worked?
Perhaps they caught some backlash for it?
Perhaps there are other things going on that we don't know about?
I understand your frustration about the whole PC / QLOC situation and I'm not making light of it, either.
I'm just saying that the PC port isn't done in-house.
Should they have dome a better job with QA and making sure that it was as perfect as it could be prior to releasing it?
Abso-fvcking-lutely, I'm not negating that.
As for Beran, why is he specifically even being brought up when your whole tirade was about Boon being a "lying sack of shit?"
Holy shit!

Damn near every post you've made since you signed up here has called into question how much of an MK fan you really are. Last time I checked, being a fan meant being a fan of the brand, and I'm most definitely calling your brand loyalty into question.You drunk? Or just issues with memory?

I'm going to ask this. Do you want the Mortal Kombat brand to fail commercially at all? If the answer is anything other than "FVCK NO", then that means you hate the MK brand.

I'm not the one who ever threatened to boycott MK at any point. You did, and THAT is what calls your fanhood into question. A true fan does his/her part in ensuring the success of the brand unconditionally, and at all times.Yep, you're having issues with the memory.
MK3 was the very first fighting game I got to touch. Signed up here in 2013 after MK9 release. Talking nothing, but praise about it. Oh of course, I guess me stating that I wasn't a fan of MK9 female outfits, is the same as hating MK brand. Ok got it. Can't have different preferences or opinion.
MKX announcement. Fangirled here with everyone. MKX launch. Was one of the idiots that spent months defending shitty ass launch. Hanged on to the hope until December announcement, where we were told that PC can eat shit.
My deviantart page speaks for itself. Years of works and mods for MK, hell even did that cringeworthy Frost trailer. With "voice acting" and weeks of work in drawing the scenes. What the f%ck you have to show? Madafawka, you have Star Wars avatar on MK forum.
You're in no place to tell me if I am a fan or not. Literally anyone in this forum is a bigger fan, than your sorry a$$. You're the only one who thinks he can tell people, what to like or how shit must roll. I might have explosive opinions, but I would never be so f%cking ret@rted as to tell someone who is a fan or not. So do me a favor and shove your worthless judgement up your bum a$$.
