Mortal Kombat 11 rumours

Xenon said:
Jason is much as a fighter as anyone on the MK roster. He swings swords and punches people in the face. That's what fighters do.
Warriors do killing for a living. It's their profession. Mass murder is their job description, and Jason is up for that job. :lol:

Alien, or specifically Xenomorph, is a bio-weapon, not a "fighter/warrior". Courtesy of Scott.

What else is there to type? Mortal Kombat is about punching people in the face and performing a fatality, ALL of the guest characters demonstrated to do this well. Doesn't really matter, because whether you like it or not, the Guests WILL stay.

He does that in MKX because NRS made him into a fighter, but he's not normally a fighter prior to being in MK.
That's the point that you're skipping over.
I'm not debating that NRS can't make horror guests into the atmosphere of MK, but rather from their origin (to me) some of them don't feel as they would belong in that atmosphere of fighters / warriors / hunters like how Alien, Predator and Kratos feel like they are more in line with that same atmosphere.

Alien fits into the "hunter" category, as does Predator in the hunter / warrior category.
They are skilled hunters and warriors who go up against people with guns and are fighting against people who are trying to stop them.

Yes, Mortal Kombat is about fighting characters, but certain characters don't fell (to me) as if they really fit with the atmosphere of fighters / warriors / hunters.
Again, despite what NRS does with an MK guest character, a serial killer / murderer =/= a fighter / warrior.
Yes, guests will likely stay in MK games (I agree with you 100%), but I don't see what that has to do with the discussion at hand.
The discussion ins't whether or not guests will continue to be in MK games, but rather how the classification of some guests sets them apart from other guest characters.
Guests are the top selling DLC in MK games, but that's not the point of what we were discussing.
Please stay on topic.
 
The video game has evolved, and that's sad?

And if someone buys MK for Guest characters that's bad too? Man, talk about picking on minorities. :lol:

That doesn't mean they belong. That's just why they are in the games.

You know what "guest" means, right?

Yes, do you know what "belongs" means? Considering the last free schooling you've received, I wouldn't go into this territory if I were you...

Alien's a bio-weapon. Take your own advice and stop skipping points.

You have mercenaries, killers, wannabe martial artists, movie stars, shao lin monks, four fcking armed half-dragon half-humans, military, zombies, elementals, cyborgs, robots, magicians, aliens, reptiles...And yet deranged psychos, mass murderers don't fit, simply because they're guests? I don't follow this logic.

Guest Characters are in the game because of greed, easy money and to lure in more people.

Not necessarily, yes and yes. People love Guest characters, Ed Boon made it clear. The video game has moved on, see any game after MK9...Guests are here to stay. I think you should just chill and stop being so guestphobic!

I didn't skip anything.
I answered your point by saying

Despite what Alien was created as, they are hunters / warriors fighting against people with guns, and thus at war with them.

Mercenaries, wannabe martial artists, movie stars, shao lin monks, four armed half-dragon half-humans, military, zombies, elementals, cyborgs, robots, magicians, aliens, reptiles that originated in MK or are created for MK always fall under the categories I mentioned.
To me, mass murderers / psychos / killers with no previous fighting skill don't fit because they feel like they being put 1 for 1 reason only: Fatalities.
Leatherface, Freddy and Jason aren't being put into MK games because of their ability to "fight," but rather because they're horror icons and people want gore.
Guests that are more in-line with the fighting atmosphere of MK (IMO) are those like Ash (from Evil Dead) or Spawn, as those characters are always fighting off against other forces of evil or just in battles, in general.
(I just used those 2 as examples, from requests that I can remember people making.)

Again, to me, some guests seem to be more in-line with the fighting atmosphere of the MK universe.
I'll agree to disagree with you on this though, as Leatherface, Jason and Freddy will always feel out of place, to me.

Since you like semantics...
Schooling means you'd teach me something new I didn't know, which wasn't the case.

Guest means that they are welcomed into the house, but are expected to leave after the visit is over, as this is not their home.

Belong means that this is their home, the place where they belong to. Which already excludes the guest characters.

Come on, Xenon... you can do better than that. Or maybe you can't...

Yes, of course Ed Boon said that, he's getting rich over the backs of simple people that want simple slasher icons in an unrelated game.

I don't mind a few guests, as long as they are all optional buys, and not wasting the roster in the vanilla game.

How is that a bad thing??? He's rich because MK is healthy. You should be happy that MK is what it is now, and not the dumpster it was 10 years ago.

If you don't mind guests then there's nothing to argue about. They will be there. Either DLC or main roster.

Looks like solid fighting to me. :lol: But hey, they're only being put for fatalities...And not because people want to beat the shit outta others by using characters that they like, in an MK setting...You keep telling yourself that. :)
Click to expand...

People have also wanted other non-horror guests in MK games, but Boon and company won't put them in because the people who created characters don't want them to be killed off and maimed in a game that has fatalities, so YES, the fact that those guests can be killed off without the creators giving 2 turds does mean a lot.
Hell, they even had to animate Kratos differently in MK9 when Fatalities were done on him, because Sony Santa Monica didn't want their precious creation defiled in such ways.

Again, those horror characters weren't originally created as fighters, warriors or hunters, and if you're going to use that cross-over movie as your example of "fighters," then you'd better be ready to back-peddle on your argument of Alien (aka the Xenomorph) not being a "fighter" with the whole AvP cross-over, as well.
Because if that's a fighter, to you, then my point still stands that Alien and Predator are fighters / warriors.

Spelling has something to do with the country a person is born, not with a game and opinion. If you can't read past my simple spelling mistakes, you are a retard. But I get the feeling you are just a simple troll that likes to show his muscles.

Maybe you shouldn't be telling people what they can or cannot do, as if you have the moral high ground.
 
theincubuslord said:
You're just proving my point.
The guest characters weren't created for Mortal Kombat. Hence why they are guests.

Thanks Xenon.

I proved my point that you don't know what the word "belong" means. "Belong" doesn't mean "guests", or whatever perverted definition of the word you have.

Guests belong in MK, whether you like it or not.

Yes. Yes. Still doesn't mean that they're being put "just for fatalities". No. AvP isn't cannon. No. Next.
