I have an idea. How about having MK9 skins on DC characters as DLC. Harley Quinn dressed like Skarlet or Catwoman dressed as Mileena?

My number of posts have no bearing on the fact he's right.
What's stupid is you and the other pathetic fanboys attacking anyone who says things you don't like, calling them trolls and trying to get their comments removed.
It's that kind of mentality which allows NRS to keep churning out sub-standard games and which embarrasses us as a community.
The mods should be issuing bans and warnings to you and certain others in this thread.

I don't think the thread should be removed. Its just the dude's opinion. I see him as a troll because he is whining about stupid shit like color palletes and stiff animation. Blowing it way out of proportion. Though I do agree with him on some points of the dlc argument, the rest for the most part is purely flaming. As someone already pointed out, all he does is bash. Not that he shouldn't be able to, but don't expect people to take your shit seriously when you're a dick 53 out of 54 posts

Fair enough.
But I don't like people who automatically attack anyone as a troll and try to get their posts removed just because they don't agree with what they say. Not talking about you there.

Because the OP was him bashing Injustice, hating it and saying that it's a rip off of MK9.
People keep feeding the troll, though, and thus the thread stays alive. :|

"Casual consumers" are by very definition dopes... easily exploitable dopes. You don't 'convince' such people- you euthanase them. (...after you rip them off, of course)
Not that would be funny! Then there'd be no doubt of how copy pasta el dante the game is. :top:
The truth stings, indeed. Just stop your ears and stand in line at the midnight launch in your spiffing Batty Man get-up, lemming. No one's forcing you to read these posts.
If the skins are so throw-away and meaningless, why even have the DC "skins" at all? Why waste the money on the licensing costs? Why not just call this MK9.5? I mean, the differences between the games in question is negligible and skins are, as you imply, irrelevant... right? And, of course, who cares how a game looks in motion. Might as well be a slideshow as long as it has the fan service...

Another point: the design of the supers: What's gone wrong here?
Just caught some Doomsday-Marvel match-up and the former character's super consists of him smashing the opponent throught the ground. Despite this, this super, too, ends up in space!
Have Netherregion been making cut-backs in the ideas department or something...??

You aren't convincing anybody that this is MK9 with DC characters. We already know it is, the damned team itself said it in an interview.
Some of the Supers are lame, I will give you that. Doomsday's is not one of them. Space or not, him smashing them through the earth and back is hilarious. The animation is perfectly fine to me. Why so much animosity towards NRS? I will be honest, I think they make terrible decisions sometimes: the blatant character favoritism with some characters getting special costumes and fatalities, the horrid horrid music of 9 and the Capcom-like dlc bullshit. But your hate seems personal.
Where did Ed Boon touch you?

I guess they all subscribe to the Capcom like bullshit too...
That's just the way it is with games these days. They all have pre-order incentives. So take your beef up with someone else, not NRS.
Now if you want "Capcom like bullshit", they could lock characters on the disk, then announce a month before the game, that the characters will be available via DLC a week after release, at $5 a pop. THAT's Capcom bullshit. Some alternate skins that mean absolutely nothing other than simple aesthetics, that's what every game does. They already give us at least 1 extra alternate attire per person anyways. Capcom? No, you have to pay $2 per costume, and the characters only come with 1, the same 1 they have always worn. THAT's Capcom bullshit. Or how about offering a bare bones game(MvC3), only to come out with an enhanced version with 10 more characters, and the modes that SHOULD have been included from the start, 8 months later, and STILL leave out the 2 characters locked on the disk that they charged as DLC. THAT's Capcom bullshit.
Having a few outfits taken out to offer as incentive for pre-order...that's par for the course of the gaming industry. That's nothing compared to just how much NRS packs into their game.
As for this thread...
What the hell drives someone to want to waste their time on a forum board of a franchise they don't even like, just to mock the fans, the games, and the company that makes them? Some people actually think they'll look back on life, in their final moments, and think "man, I WISH I spent more time ing about things I didn't like to those that enjoyed them".

MK9 had disk locked content. Scorpion and Sub Zero's MK1 costumes are in the challenge tower and Sub Zero's spine rip fatality was shown in the Jax reveal trailer.
Therefor its easy to assume that the pre order incentives for Injustice will be on disc too. This includes the Red Son missions. Missions that are on your disc that you will have to pay for separately (I'm assuming). So yes, this affects more than just your character's fashion sense

Yeah, I know what was on disc in MK9, and I didn't have a problem with it. Same with Injustice. These are very minor non-important things. When you are getting 2 costumes per person, and some with a 3rd. As well as 240 missions...I just don't see how this is considered "Capcom bullshit". All those games I listed above, those were in-game items/skins/missions etc. as well. It is nothing new, nor is it unique to NRS. It's standard gaming practice these days. What Capcom did with the characters on disc, then selling them as DLC, plus all the alternates that they went on to sell for $2 a piece only giving eachc haracter in the game only 1...that's the kind of stuff I relate as Capcom BS.
This pre-order stuff is par for the course. NRS packs their game full of content, and takes out potential 3rd/4th skins for a few characters, as well as a fatality/set of missions, to get people to pre-order. So as long as you pre-order, you get most of the content. Absolutely no harm in pre-ordering. If I go pre-order from Gamestop, i'll have those 3 skins and 20 missions. Regardless, it'll all go up as DLC a couple of months later. For a whopping $5(8 outfits and 3 fatalities for MK9).
The difference?
Capcom took stuff out JUST to sell as DLC. Not as a pre-order bonus, but with the intent to charge fans, nickel and diming them for a second attire. Capcom gives you a bare bones game, and then expects you to pay for the content. NRS does what every company does, and creates some extra attires, and makes them pre-order bonuses. Yet, they still give you plenty of content to make the game feel well worth the $60. They aren't skimping out on content to get you to pay for it.
To me, it's totally different. One is excusable, one is not. One is something that is done by every big name game these days and has been for the past few years, the other is a shady business tactic that had well known fan backlash.
You are definitely entitled to feel how you feel. It's your choice. I just don't subscribe to the NRS hate that goes on at a lot of the MK forums I go to. They are treated as if they ignore the fans, manipulate the fans, deceive the fans, don't know how to market their game, Ed Boon is an asshole, don't care about the FGC etc. etc. etc.
So don't take it as anything personal against you. You know we're cool. I just feel the need to stand up for them, because I just don't see all the negativity that fans throw at them just because things don't always go just exactly how they want them to go. NRS is a business. They still need to do what's neccessary and keep up with the times. If every game has these pre-order bonuses, for the past 5-6 years...it obviously works in some fashion that helps them. As long as they put out a great product that's worth the money, and show effort to please the fans, I don't see why people need to hate on them or throw them under the bus for things.

Yeah I gotcha, nothing wrong with that.
I was speaking generally about some of the things I see over multiple forums. I just think there's far too much negativity in general. But that's just my personality, I tend to focus on the positives and don't pay much attention to the negatives. Not worth the time or effort to me. In most cases...lol
And I guess I agree with most of their decisions. Enough to where I can't really think of a thing off hand that I really disagreed with. heh

I... I don't know what to say...
Get back to me on that after you've seen the exact same canned cut-scene super 1000 times.
He touched my scrub. Now it's aroused.
If that's how you feel then you're a consumer sap first and a gamer second.
No stripped content can be justified and the only acceptable DLC is the stuff developed outside of a title's development phase proper and content that is made at the behest of the gaming community.
Nickel and diming costumes and modes is even worse than if they simple gave people two 'karate men' and a texture-less training arena for full RRP and then drip fed them content. This is because at least then gamers would revolt. The Machiavellian way they fleece dim gamers is dastardly and akin to robbing an intellectually disabled person of their welfare. It's shameless.
Moreover, just because 'everyone' is screwing gamers sans lube nowadays doesn't make it okay in this instance. That's a retarded philosophy and amounts to anarchy- 'if they're raping and pillaging, I can to'.

I agree with you whole-heartedly in the first and 2nd paragraph.
The bolded stuff is where I disagree.
NRS did this too with Rain.
I'm pretty sure that NRS decided early on to take Rain out of the main MK9 roster, with the intent to make money off of him.
Why the hell else would they take a character that belonged to that era off of the roster?
As soon as I got the game, I was like "Cool, every MK1 thru UMK3 character is ba... Hey, where the f*** is Rain???"
That's some Capcom bullshit right there.
Not to mention 3 other DLC characters that no one gave a shit about or voted for.
