Open Letter to NRS regarding KP2

I understand the pain a lot of people are feeling right now about this. Like, I really feel ya, and I can see why this feels like such a slap from NRS.

HOWEVER, with that being said, I personally am actually kind of excited to see how Leatherface plays. Mainly because he was the last person I was expecting them to bring in. If anything, I was expecting an ass-pull with Michael Myers being in instead. (Though looking back at it now, it was kind of dumb to assume that, since I have no idea what they could possibly do with Michael that they don't already have with Jason in this game)

What really bothers me, however, is that out of all the 3D Era kharacters they could have chosen to revamp, it had to be BO RAI JOKE- Err, I mean Cho! :?

Funny coming from the guy that likes Stryker.

Hey, if I'm not gonna be the local Stryker stan around these parts, who else will? Besides, at least Stryker doesn't finish off his opponents by farting on them.

Although, I have been told in my personal life that I'm a very funny guy, and that I have some serious potential to become a big-time comedian. So you might actually be onto something, Toaster.
 
Stryker doesn't get enough love. I think he's awesome. <3
I do like Bo'Rai Cho too, though like many others, I hope his presentation will be a bit more mature this time around.

None of the guest characters appeal to me though. Leatherface the least so out of all of them.

No one. I'd take Mokap and Meat over Stryker any day.

At least killing people by farting on them isn't generic.

Meat and Mokap? Seriously? That's a bit harsh, don't ya think?

And I'll admit his Stun Gun fatality in MK3 sucks ass. BUT...

His MK3 Explosives fatality >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bo Rai Cho's fatalities in Deception.

Also, in my post from way earlier, I said "out of all the 3D Era kharacters" Last time I checked, Stryker is a Trilogy guy. So I don't know why you're taking the chance to bash Stryker when I was only discussing the 3D crew.

I mean, gee Toaster. To think you and I coulda been homies from another jabroni, too.

It's common practise to diss a user's fave character when disagreeing with them, in hopes of hitting them on a personal level, like "Well, yeah, but, your fave character sucks! HAH, take that!". That way, they can hit you without actually dissing you directly, and thus not breaking any of the forum rules. A very immature tactic many likes to use.

I've had it done to me so many times, but I just find it funny that people think that shit works. XD

1) So? Since when does having powers determine whether someone is good or not? I always thought Stryker was kool for the very reason that he has no superpowers, and still can kick ass.

2) No, it wasn't generic. It fits his character perfectly, and is one of the most deliciously satisfying fatalities in MK3 IMO. But I guess we can always agree to disagree.
 
Question to peeps against the guests, is it solely because they're guests?
Hypothetically, if Predator, Xeno and Jason were NRS created characters would you be alright with them?

Cause I gotta say, ignoring the sheer baddassery of the Predator and the Xenomorph simply because of where they're from is some stupid shit. But if you legit don't like them or their designs at all, then that's a different story.
 
cool letter but none of it really matters since the game is lacking so much in so many areas in terms of vs options, stages, stage fatalities, story, character models/designs and appearence, etc its like we got sold half a game theres just way too much that needs done to make the game up to the standard it should be that simply adding more characters wont cut it.

they should just crack on with the next game but this time hire better artists, designers and animators and offer more fuller content rather than sell us half a game then charging us extra later on for characters like triborg that should of clearly been a shoe in from the start. its damn ridiculous

people are getting tired of devs using dlc as a crutch to finish a game they couldnt get finished for release then having the nerve to charge extra for it. i bet triborg was a main character they just didnt have time to finish for deadline due to balance issues he was afterall an idea created 10years ago in mk armageddon {sectors ending] so its not like they came up with the idea last minute after the games release.

cant really blame nrs though most likley WB demanding impossible deadlines hense the lack luster content in mkx slowly getting added to bit by bit later on via dlc crutch and the consumers dont even bat an eyelid and just throw their money at the evil doing corperation like "gee thanks for half a game id like to pay double for the rest whenever your done"

its crazy times people
crazy

Don't like them because of your 'stupid shit' reason. The title is Mortal Kombat. That's what I wanted, was hoping that it would do 'what it said on the tin'. Being those characters is old hat to me. I can play as them in 3 different avp titles to get my fix.
 
I legit don't like them, the movies or characters never interested me one bit.

At first, the logic of Leatherface in MK is off but can't care too much because the fact Leatherface IN MK is awesome too me. He's just a normal Texan, cannible, mentally handicap, inbred with no powers other than being raised to kill. But then again, it IS MK where sense just doesn't need to make sense in order to have fun stories.

I don't mean to sound like a broken recorded, but I can't get over the irony that, other than Kratos, all the guests are characters I've obsessed with at some point in my career as a nerd.
 
"But then again, it IS MK where sense just doesn't need to make sense in order to have fun stories."

And that's probably the best thing for Mortal Kombat. I love that there's hardly any sense in this series, I love that there's hardly any logic in this series. I mean look at Freddy, a character no one would ever thought would fit in the game and they did by just throwing some random nonsense to make him fit.
 
Hmm, happy to see my blog got posted here. Unhappy to see the conversation hit a bump at one point and yet again devolved into a senseless back-and-forth between the divided fan-bases. Thankfully, that seems to have ceased but just thought I'd pop in and say my two cents....

Just for clarity, this blog was never about complaining for the sake of complaining although I did write it as a means to enact a therapeutic way of channeling my disappointment. It's purely a means of drawing attention to one of the games major flaws, imo. Like how the netcode is a major flaw, or some see the variation system as unfulfilled and incomplete due to a certain handful of characters not feeling as inspired as others, my major problem is their run of DLC.

For the record, this blog was not one of those "Wah, I'm mad because I didn't get what I want" responses. I've campaigned for Bo' Rai Cho vocally since MKX's announcement and now I got him; however, that doesn't change the fact I still think this DLC pack is a sack of crap. Generally speaking, I have no problem with guests... with that being said however, I do think there should be a clear limit as to how many get into a certain game which brings me to my original argument in the blog that the main focus of their post-launch content should be in the form of Mortal Kombat characters, not split down the middle with guests. When half of your DLC is from other franchises, no longer do I see it as fan service. Now it just reeks of blatant cash grabbing / product advertising and it's disgusting, especially in light of what other rival franchises are doing at this current time by bringing in those long demanded characters.

If you like the guests then I'm happy you got what you wanted out of the DLC, however I for one will be cherry-picking what I purchase and as an MK fan, I'm slightly disheartened that I have to do so. The weird thing is that NRS already had the perfect KP formula before and refuse to revisit it. MK9 was hands down the best way to go about it as you satisfy every angle of the fanbase as a whole; you satisfy those who want new characters, you satisfy those who want a returning Trilogy figure, you satisfy those who want a returning 3D era figure and you satisfy those who want a guest for shits and giggles.

The biggest offender though by far is the simple fact NRS ignored perhaps the two most vocal request camps since MKX's announcement. That in and of itself is mind-boggling and that is perhaps the catalyst for this reaction. The fact that little joke about unlocking Fujin made it into the game proves they know that demand is there, yet still refuse to act on it. That, along with the netcode still being crap, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt in my mind that NRS simply does not listen.

My pre and post feelings about the Reveal for Kombat Pack 2 are the same as my pre and post feelings about Dragon Ball GT. I'll leave that much up to your own interpretations.

The only reason I'm not as surprised is because when I stated how the story of MKX was gonna be dry, illogical, and full of inconsistencies because of the Kitana and Kung Lao Reveals, I was proven to be 100% correct. Same when I said they weren't gonna stick to their word and make more new Characters than any other MK game (unless the over abundance of Guests are suppose to fill the other 4 missing characters, in which they still aren't technically new characters since they exist in other properties). That was also proven 100% true. Each time people kept saying "wait until you see gameplay" or "wait until the full game/character comes out" and what I say seems to never fail.

But, it's the fault of everyone else who asked for a second kombat pack. That teaches the lesson of never ask the Devs to pull a cash grab move then get mad when they pull a cash grab move that you don't like. Y'all should've stopped requesting extra DLC after the first pack ended. No reason to complain now, just either buy it or don't. I know I'm only buying Bo Rai Cho and Triborg, but it's up to my brother's own expenses as far as to whether or not he'll be buying the other guests. Jason was the only acceptable one in my opinion (I just didn't like playing with predator at all, lol).
