Anyone Else Disappointed With the Story Mode?

If Jax was going to be brought back then they should have brought back Kung Lao. I get why Liu Kang and Kitana was kept dead to have them to be the big bad of the next game.
 
I understand that this forum is a month old but the thing about MK9 nostalgia(I've only played MK: trilogy,MK:DA , MK9, and MKX so I don't have nostalgia lenses on.) .I personally feel as if MK9's story infinitely better than what MX's story was mainly cause MK9's story felt like a tragedy with majority the earth realm warriors basically being killed within the games story. Forcing Raiden to having no choice but to resort to going as far as to ask the very enemies that put them in that very situation for help which in my opinion showed the lengths he would go to in order to protect earth realm even though he did some stuff I didn't agree with. Now onto my feelings on MKX's was that I didn't like how the next generation character got most of the spot-light in the story also not too mention they all were beating characters that were out of their league one minute but getting thier butt handed to them by characters like Ferra/Torr. Also I honestly wasn't a big fan of most of the next gen fighters to begin with like I really disliked the idea of Takeda and the fact he was basically a scorpion clone, I understand that he was trained by Scorpion cause Kenshi wanted to protect him but I'm also thinking your father is a blind swordsman you could of been a samurai and then also Jacquie character just felt like a let down cause instead of killing Ermac and getting revenge for her dad she just beats him up and be done with.
 
I am very disappointed with the way the story turned out. Yes I agree; MK9 was not a masterpiece but overall the story was much better in both depth and length-wise. I felt as though MKX's story felt very lackluster at least to me. This is probably because after playing through MK9's story mode, I had high expectations and you can't blame the one's who had the same expectations as I. NRS has knocked it out of the park twice with the stories in MK9 and Injustice. Sure it's arguable whether or not Injustice had a good story, but I think it was decent enough. MKX had a lot to live up to, the one thing I truly enjoyed in MKX's story mode was the voice acting and cinematics.

I personally wouldn't like if NRS added an expansion DLC to the story mode because I'll feel like at that point they purposely stripped parts away from the story mode in order to charge us more money, but I love me some MK, so I'll definitely purchase it.
 
Tbh, MKX story mode had great ideas but too much was cramped in too short a story mode. That way MK9 felt pretty rushed too but there were more chapters so things were spread out better. MKX is still a fun story but the best ideas weren't used to their maximum potential, IMO
 
I didn't like the story in MKX at all.......I found it tedious and trying to be too sentimental, while MK9 took itself a little less seriously and knew it was an action game
