Can Shinnok turn into demon form at will or is there some kind of special circumstance he needs to go through?

It happens normally in arcade mode. You beat regular Shinnok. A cut scene plays where he points his amulet at the Jinsei and absorbs the power and in a flash of energy, he emerges as Corrupted Shinnok. it's a single round fight.
 
corrupted shinnoks fatality is immense !!! I like that even if he dont finish you he still does via throwing head off cliff.
 
summons the pillar from the pit then throws your body against it impaling it on the spikes he then pulls your body down the pillar leaving the head attached to the spike and splitting the body in 2, he then invites his demon friends to devour on your corpse
 
he grabs them and squeezes them super hard, there head explodes and some of there insides come out, he then throws them on the floor, shit fatality, the fatality is called ' be mine '
 
I m extremely disappointed with story mode right now. Here are my reasons:

1)Death of many iconic characters that brought some variety to the roster. Now if the dead characters don't come back, we re full of white lotus and Special Forces characters. Just a huge Fyck u from NRS to the hardcore fans.

2)No bad guys left!!!! Quan chi,Shinnok,Shang Tsung,Mileena,Sindel,Noob saibot, and Shao Khan are all dead(Sorry if I forgot anyone). Who the hell is supposed to be the next bad? Now he has to face the forces of earthrealm and netherrealm all together.

3)NPC fights. I truly hate that. Many people wanted many of the Npcs to be playable. I get that they re in the story mode, but fighting them is really annoying. It's like NRS did that to just say:"ha! in your face, your favorite character is not playable"

4)Cassie beating Shinnok! I really like Cassie as a character,but give her some time to develop properly. She is a teenager and she beats an elder god with millions of Kombat experience. Let her fail and grow out of her failures so I can actually bond with the character. You also make your bad guy look pretty stupid. Shinnok lost because of a shadow mystical power which was randomly given to a teenager at the worst possible time for him. Da Fyck? are we suppose to believe that?(Same thing happened years ago with her father)

5)When you introduce new characters in a story is really important for the audience to sympathize with them. Having a character fail and struggle is one of the best ways to make the audience care because we face problems and failure in our real lives. The new generation characters are just generic(IMO) cause there is nothing interesting about them (IMO)
 
Wow, from what I can see the story mode is fairly weak. Some of the deaths, the voice acting, cut scenes and "new" fatalities were simply atrocious.

I'm not a fan of Story Modes in fighting games generally, I didn't even play the MK2011 Story before MKX was announced. But after E3 I was so hyped for X that I wanted to know how they retconned the story and what to expect next. And it was fun. Then I played IGAU Story, it was fun too. So I became more and more interested what MKX has in store for us.

And now, I am a bit disappointed too. The Boss will be a fun, surprise returning kharacter - that was our mantra for months. Shinnok is not really a surprise but I would be fine with it - unless he's beaten in the very first Chapter. Wait, what? You whoop the Final Boss' ass at the beginning and he's a surprise returning kharacter?! There was Mileena, we have a twisted Liu Kang, apparently very underused in the story and two shady, scheming baddie in the comic, Reiko and Havik and we have to fight Shinnok twice?

I haven't seen the whole Story Mode yet and now I don't want to see any more of that and I hope that there will be twists and turns that make it a worthy experience but overall it's underwhelming. We don't even have an interesting, new sub-boss kharacter.

I defended NRS all along but with the much newness they were talking about, a new original story, we have a re-used Boss kharacter, 8 new faces, but Kung Jin is MK Arrow (with a Nightwing Staff variation), Torr is MK Bane, Erron Black is MK Deathstroke, Jacquie is a female Cyborg and Cassie is naturally her parents' child. At least Takeda is a mixture of Catwoman and Lobo so he has a more unique gameplay but only Kotal and D'Vorah stand out as truly new additions.

I have to admit that I expected better. But since I'm in for the figting, and I like the overall roster cuz all my favs in with kool variations, I try to be as open minded as I can and not judge the game as a whole before playing it.
 
The first chapter was very cinematic with lengthy cutscenes and the other chapters Ive seen just dont have that cinematic and awesome feel that Johnnys first chapter has.

Agreed. My complaints are relative to the story mode and not the gameplay
