MKX DLC - Is it enough? (DLC/Costume Spoilers)

I'm personally very satisfied with the Kombat Pack the way it is. If there was no more DLC to be released (besides maybe some skins for other characters) I would be happy. IMO this is far better than the way MK9 or Injustice had the DLC released. NRS makes improvements this time around and still people are busting their chops the whole way. smh
 
Stryker, Cyrax, Smoke, Rain, & Kabal are all assists, so they're very unlikely. I know people are hopeful that this doesn't mean anything, but it clearly does as only unplayable characters are assists.

That leaves Noob, who hasn't made an appearance in any form in the game yet and with Sub-Zero confirmed to be Kuai Liang, he stands a decent chance, even with Johnny stealing his niche in his one variation. Sektor, who has yet to make an appearance in any form. With boon hinting that a cyborg makes an appearance, that cyborg could be Sektor. However, the supposed leak bios suggest he will not make it to MK X. Reiko, a popular character, thanks largely due to the comic. I have my doubts, simply because the comic needs a primary antagonist and that appears to be Reiko, who will likely die. Havik, appears to be pulling the strings in the comic and is a popular character, however, I can see them holding on to him until both the Orderrealm and Chaosrealm are properly introduced. Bo' Rai' Cho makes an appearance in the web series, will likely be mentioned in the story mode, and is a reasonably popular character and one of the few memorable characters from the 3d era. My bet is on him. Also, if there is a 2nd DLC pack, there is absolutely no way Fujin is not being included. He's not an assist, he's in the game as a NPC, with a re-design and he is possibly the most requested post MK 3 character. The final character, sadly for me, as I dislike this character, is Frost. There is a reason Frost survived the death match, only to be taken by the Special Forces. I know people dislike the idea of a Sub-Zero clone, but it's not hard to give her an original moveset/unique use of her powers with some imagination (Ice mirrors, snow diamonds, ice shuriken, ice walls, snow gliding, ice slides, etc.). Plus, the idea of a female Sub-Zero is a good sell for casual fans.

My guess:

DLC Pack #2:

Spawn
Fujin
Bo' Rai' Cho
Frost

The best thing about the pack is that all DLC characters are non-MK9 ones. That was very unexpected from me. They did have the balls to bring Tanya and Tremor over any MK9 character. I hope for sure that they include Fujin and Reiko in the future. MK9 characters can sit this game out and return next game IMO (I wouldn't have minded to play Rain though).
 
No way,wayyy too many good kharacters left out. They'd be foolish not to put out more packs especially with all klassic kharacters in each pack n no more guest. Think about how many were left out n alot already have models in story

Sektor
Cyrax
Noob
Shang Tsung
Baraka
Sindel
Reiko
Fujin
Havik
Bo Rai Cho
Kabal
Stryker
Li Mei
Frost
Smoke

Because every single character needs to be in every single game, apparently. Some people will never be happy. :bunny:
 
Thanks for the heads-up.

Can't comment is certainly better than 'no' -- but obviously it will come down to how well the stuff in the Kombat Pack sells.
It's all but guaranteed that it will sell, especially with Jason and Predator and a brand new MK "ninja".

I never said that. Just saying theres way too many good kharacters left out that they should definitely put out a 2nd kombat pack n besides,why not keep pumping out dlc if the dlc sell really well. U give the fans what they want n make money from it plus they should have more kharacters anyway to balance out the factions. U can't have brotherhood of shadows n not have Noob lol

Okay, I guess I misinterpreted your post. My bad.
 
I'm not sure if enough time will be put in another Kombat Pack if they end their DLC in August. It seems like August, they might start working on Injustice 2 or a brand new title. We are not going to get MK11 until 2019. This forum is going to die off again after 2015 and get more traffic again in 2018. It's like a life cycle for MK forums when it comes to new games these days.

I don't think they'll do Injustice 2. If they do I will seriously kick a baby.

Injustice was a success and they've expressed interest in doing a sequel. DC's got a lot of films coming out in the next few years, so there's opportunity for cross-marketing as well. It's a very smart business decision for NRS and WB. Get ready to kick a baby.

I don't really care for Injustice, but I would rather they work on a sequel to that next. MK feels more like an event if it comes out every 4-5 years. It's more exciting that way. If MK games came out every 2 years, it wouldn't be long before the series became stagnant again, like in the 3D era. More years between entries = more years to think up new ideas and innovate. I wouldn't have it any other way.
 
2017 is the 25th anniversary of MK. I doubt NRS will do a MK game in 2017 but WB games may do something for the 25th anniversary. Either give us another MK collection on the PS4 and Xbox One or WB games will hire a third party company to make a spin off game to keep fans busy until MK11 comes out.

Actually the 25th anniversary is why I think NRS will make a game. It would be weird if they didn't. At least just a rerelease or something.
