Is Ed Boon sure he's doing the right thing?

Alternate costumes were fine, IMO, especially Dark Raiden, Ermac, Bi-Han, Deception Scorpion, non-Doc Brown Smoke, Human Cyrax and Human Sektor.

My only real complaint in the costume department was that klassic costumes for non-"ninja" characters would have been nice to see.

Agreed with these

..but Deception Scorpion? How is that the Deception design?

The Jesus part literally made me burst out laughing at work. Thanks for allowing me to let my office know that I'm not JUST working at my desk.

and no, if you take the wrong impression that Boon is Jesus then you are wrong :D

also Tobias said that:
MK characters and their costumes fell in simple archetypes / color schemes
and that made them memorable
also that storyline was not overdeveloped because he wanted that players associate themselves with characters and use imagination to fill the gaps
and that storymode in style of MK9 defeats that
because is shown like a movie and there is little left to imagination
and you will not see people arguing how Scorpion would act if he met Sub-Zero etc
because we are given one definite version of the Booniverse xD
 
Dude, just stop. I don't even think you know what you are talking about anymore.

The games aren't going to be like Mk1-UMK3, they haven't been since MK4. We had a story set in motion. We had Armageddon happen and Raiden rebooted the course of events. Changing even the smallest thing in the past will royally f*** up the present. In doing so, it allows NRS more creative freedom to do what they want with MKX. You don't like it? Why don't you go boot up your SNES and play MK2 while we play MKX?

If the characters were built the way you wanted them, we wouldn't even have a story to reboot. Each character needs more than just a physical appearance and a slew of martial arts moves. They need a drive and a will to fight. You can't explain why these 7 people showed up and started fighting without a story.

my posts above are sounding like as a bad publicity for you, seem you do not want that exists negative criticzes.
again we are "discussing if ed boon is going to make right yes or not the things". Only i have said that boon has broken the things and my post more above show that him is not going working well for that mk means. I wish a sequel offcourse but i don ´t agree under ed boon style that is wrong and very stupid.

A reboot is bad idea always, you should read that i have said, about plotholes and errors on history, also you have said "We had Armageddon happen and Raiden rebooted the course of events. Changing even the smallest thing in the past will royally f*** up the present."

well i tell to you: is that there are things changed that Raiden's actions did not change
1-infant mind Mileena as example,
2-how Kabal became a cop?
common logic is that Raiden's actions couldn't change anything BEFORE MK1, but in MK9, they apparently did?

well its can be to continue

the rise of taj? anyway is an example, but you need read books :D yeyeyeyyeyeye jesus is booon :P

Taj is my first name, The Rise of Taj is a National Lampoon movie, specifically in the Van Wilder series, and stars one of my favourite actors, Kal Penn, as Taj. That's how I got "The Rise Of Taj".

But what books do I need to read to tell me that Jesus is Boon?

Holy shit.
I just read a post from you that not only was readable, but it also made sense and I agreed with.
My whole system of beliefs is crumbling.

lol, was joke about mention the rise taj, i wanna mean that maybe is a rise of laught on your office, look seriously, there is many historic document explaining a debats that jesus is remembered for his appearance. if this not agreed with you is fine, but in other examples Tobias has said the same concept but offcourse without mentions to jesus lol i don´t wish that this starts to laught at office now :D.

Infant mind Mileena? She was a test tube baby to be molded by Shao Kahn's will. The same went for her in MK2.

Kabal being a cop? The original storyline never said he didn't join the police forces after he left the Black Dragon.

And Raiden's actions didn't show up in the original MK1 because the outcome of Armageddon was never explained until MK9. And for the sake of a reboot, Raiden sent a message to himself. And its an alternate time period now, with new characters and stuff happening that wasn't expected. Like Sindel and Cyber Sub-Zero.

We hear a LOT about what you don't like, and I think you think that we don't get it. But we do. It's not that we don't understand you, it's that we don't agree. You sort of shove your opinion on us in these lengthy retorts, as if you're trying to change our minds, and it just causes this weird domino effect of retaliation. We get what you liked about the old MK's, and you're entitled to your opinion. We're not dumb or bad for having an opinion of our own though.

I have two questions for you, sir: 1) Do you actually want a Mortal Kombat sequel? 2) If you're so unsatisfied with MKX, then what would YOU do differently? And be specific. I don't wanna know what you WOULDN'T do. You talk about the things you don't like a LOT. I'd rather hear what you WOULD do to move the game forward. Get creative.

ah yes? neither raiden have a an amulet in mk armageddon for sends messages to the past. Also check at mk9 intro in mk armageddon chars wears mk9 costumes, only onaga is intact
about milenna is a fact that rayden did a plothole with her :D him can make that kang wear other outfit or the that the shang tsung ´s island have other architecture, but not avoid the born of milenna XD, wow that genious is voguel (sarcasm). I repeat to you, a reboot always is a bad idea.
