For those complaining about this game being a re-hash

[ujustgotcaged]

REALLY?!?!
You really tried to do that? :laugh:

hahahahahahaha

Dude, you totally cut off the last part of that post, on purpose!!!


I said ""And that's unfortunately going to be the case for me.
I WILL NOT buy a PS4 with MKX just to play an updated MK9.""

I said I wouldn't buy the game to play an updated MK9.
If it turns out Kitana and Kung Lao are the only dead characters who are back, and the story sounds like it's not totally screwed up, then yes, I will be buying the game. Hell, it'll take more the Kitana and Kung Lao to keep me from this game. Nice work, trying to twist my posts around though.

Dude you said you weren't getting the game but you never in that particular post you didn't say IF NRS don't get themselves together .

Regardless you didn't say what you meant but I see your position now.


"I AM the flashing lights and special effects."

[MENTION=5107]Taj Gill[/MENTION] I think your completely misunderstanding me.

I know Kitana was revealed because of her popularity. And even tho I think Kung Lao's popularity stems from his overpowered moves in MK9, I still get why he's in the game.

What I don't get is why they would have killed them in the first place. It all goes back to "nobody dies in MK".
I really, really, really thought that was going to change this time around. And sure, you could go on to say it's my fault for thinking that way. But can you blame me? After all the talk about "wiping the slate clean" and making way for new blood and this being the next generation Mortal Kombat...I don't know, I just expected that awful rule to die with the 3D era.

Why would they convince us they were wiping the slate clean, if they weren't? I'm not even angry right now, i'm confused.
You say it would get weird if Stryker and Sindel came back, but it really looks like they might. Sindel could come back and fight with the forces of light with her daughter (Boon mentioned relatives interacting with each other). And Stryker could easily join the Special Forces with Jax.

If they were just going to bring the dead back anyway, why kill them?
And what happened to Quan Chi's "army of dead warriors?". Did they say that in the trailer just to trick us?

This sums up perfectly what I was trying to get at.
I will give "Thanks" when I can.

It is true. It was said that many characters kicked the bucket to make way for new characters. Granted, I understand that we haven't seen the entire roster yet... But the promise of new this and new that has been lost since the first character reveals (D'Vorah, Kotal, Ferra/Torr, Cassie). There hasn't been a single new character since day one... Only returning characters - Two of them having died in the previous game.

There's more than enough reason for some people to be disappointed so far.

I fall somewhere in between. The game looks great and I don't have an issue with the returning characters who deserve a spot... But I'm not fond of NRS bringing back dead characters. And we know it isn't going to stop at Kung Lao and Kitana.

 

[Viking_Poodle]

As for my opinions, I will say whatever the hell I please and when I please, and I'm not going to shut up just because I have a different opinion.
F*** you, for telling people to shut up just because they don't agree with you.

I agree with your sentiment, but we should all probably refrain from name-kalling. It's kounter productive, bro.

That's the thing though. We don't know why the characters that are revived are even being brought back to begin with. I completely understand where you're coming from. As a long time MK fan, I also wanted the dead to stay dead. But after seeing the returning characters I can't help but be excited again. Still, we don't know the motives of the returning characters or if they even appear to be who they are. So we should hold off on such harsh criticism.

Did you read my reply to you?
AGAIN, I SAID "I will not buy a ps4 with MKX just to play an updated MK9."

If they start showing new shit as opposed to old shit, I might be a little more interested.
As of right now, the roster is far to simalir to MK9's. That's my beef. If it changes drastically, and Jax and other dead MK9 characters don't make the cut, then it wouldn't look like an updated MK9, and therefore I wouldn't have a problem buying it.

I said what I meant and I stick to it. I will not buy a PS4 for an updated MK9.
And do you have to take big screenshots every time? Just quote the damn posts.

Agreed here, and I totally predict that specifically Kitana and Kung Lao are back because of something to do with Liu Kang.

[MENTION=5232]Ricochetmatt[/MENTION]

How do we concretely know that it won't stop at Kung Lao and Kitana?

 

[Kickinwing420]

Comic book spoilers.

Spoiler:

But what about Jax?
He was shown in the latest comic issue.

Jax had no connections to Liu Kang. The dude never even spoke with him.

Doesn't mean he'll be in the game. Like I said my man, if another "dead" character is revealed, then yeah I'll say enough is enough as well.

Spoiler:

And I think everyone ends up "living" again after the end of the Netherrealm War. But like
I said, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll all be in the game.

Well we already know Jax is back, at least in the comics. So it's not looking like these dead characters will remain as such. It really does seem like NRS had some serious second thoughts about MK9's death count.

At this point, I'm just going to accept it only because I love the series so much... But story-wise, they're starting to lose me.

 

[kadell]

I wonder if they will make a revenant version of one of the characters. Preferably Stryker or Kabal.

Why wouldn't they be in the game? And so what if they are? I thought you weren't suppose to pass judgement til you saw the story play out first hand?

And again, why is it not okay to have 3 dead characters? 2 is alright with you, but 3?! Hell No! Then it's time to start complaining.

I already told you it's because of who those characters are, and because of possible story implications (Boss Liu Kang) that I'm willing to give a pass to them FOR NOW.

If they were brought back for no reason at the end of it all, then yeah, waste of character spots. I can't really think of any possible potential plot line for the rest of the dead characters to come back.

You didn't say what you meant but I see your position now ..you can have the last word but I'm moving on.
/


Anyway do you all notice that people who main kunglao ,jax and smoke aren't complaining about characters returning..

Basiccly let's call it for what it is ..

People didn't have favorites in mk9 so they want to see brand new characters or post mk3 characters so they can have a character they are good with.

It goes deeper than"well boon said more new guys."

You (IN GENERAL)want to see someone else you might be good with cause you probably weren't good with anyone else in the previous mk


"I AM the flashing lights and special effects."

 

[asears08]

So what are the odds that they move forward with Liu Kang being a god now as canon?

Its just about the only way I can see a reason for Kitana and Kung Lao being back. If they add more characters that are dead....Ehhhhh, I will be done trying to understand.

 

[Kickinwing420]

But wouldn't it make more sense for Liu Kang's friends to stay dead?

I mean, that's what made him so pissed off at Raiden in the first place. He got all his friends and allies killed.
If they come back like nothing happened, what does Liu Kang have to be so pissed about?

Because he gave him some nasty scars?

[MENTION=18074]Kickinwing420[/MENTION]

Ill even say it again.

You couldn't be more wrong

What if Liu Kang becomes corrupted in his death/injuries? Similar to Darth Vader like I posted in the page before.

Its just about the only way I can see a reason for Kitana and Kung Lao being back. If they add more characters that are dead....Ehhhhh, I will be done trying to understand.

I'm already out of thanks for the day, but I would've thanked this post if I could.

 

[asears08]

The only way I can make sense of it is, if liu kang is a god now, he brings Kitana back because he is thinking with is ethereal wang.
He would bring Kung Lao back in as a warrior to aid him in taking down Raiden.

Im just spitballing here.

 

[Subz 711]

Why are people saying there's too many returning MK9 characters? Hmmm, let's see

Scorpion
Sub-Zero
Raiden
Quan
Kano
Kitana
Kung Lao

That's only 7 I'm counting so far???

I imagine a final row will be added to the select screen which will open up 12 more slots. 4 while the remaining 8 will most likely be blotted out for DLC. So, if we have 28 characters on the main roster. That would be 7 returning MK9 characters out of 28. Yeah, they're just flooding us with them....

Also, let's not say well Sonya, Johnny, and Liu are practically confirmed because no they are not. I could see Liu being playable, but Boon teases people all the time. I DO NOT expect Johnny and Sonya to be playable. DO NOT.

With that being said, let's get to what the real problem is. A LOT of you were fine with Johnny and Sonya possibly being playable with CASSIE also on the roster. Even though injustice and even MK9 show that certain characters can feel REPETITIVE if they are on the same roster. So, Kitana and Kung Lao now may make it over Johnny and Sonya now which honest to god is refreshing IMO.

What it comes down to is certain people are salty because their expected returning characters are not going to be the ACTUAL returning characters. Trust me, when I seen Kitana revealed yesterday I said well there goes Jade's hopes. Am I crying about it though? Nope. Some of you need to hold your gripes until we have over half the roster filled with MK9 spots. Because right now 7 out of a possible 28-30 main roster is not that bad AT ALL.

Agreed 100%.
Story-wise, this is starting to sound terrible.

I already told you it's because of who those characters are, and because of possible story implications (Boss Liu Kang) that I'm willing to give a pass to them.

If Liu Kang is alive MKX, the only reason that he won't stay dead is because he's "1 of the big 4 for MK games," and they'll give him some cop-out story of how Raiden completely healed him and he wasn't really dead, or he was dead but now he's back because _______________.
Otherwise, Liu should stay dead.
The only other 2 unannounced MK1 characters that have HUGE story implications in MKX (IMO) are Johnny and Sonya, and I've accepted those 2 getting a pass because of that, much like Quan Chi and Raiden also get a pass.

That is an immensely stupid assumption. I was quite good with a few characters during MK9. I loved all of the characters (as most all of us did). Why we are upset is because if feels as though they are throwing away all of what happened in mk9. Not only that, as many others have said : we were promised new characters and all they have shown is not only old characters -- but old dead characters. Have you not been reading the responses in this thread? It's like you simply skipped over everyone else's opinion to drop your baseless, ridiculous thoughts.

That's actually not a bad idea. Seems like the theme of mkx is to beat the shit out of Raiden for messing up the events of MK9 so badly. I honestly think you're on to something here. Maybe he is resurrected and joins Quan Chi and asks for him to revive Kung Lao and Kitana as his enforcers. He wouldn't have to hard of a time persuading them either seeing as how Raiden got them all killed in the first place haha
