The story is not what I expected at all.It's just more of the same with a little more disregard for past continuity.
MK9's story was a tribute to the original trilogy, they didn't even know if there was gonna be a sequel.
MKX just sets the tone for sequels to come.It ends with a bigger cliffhanger than MK9 did.
We've just got Dark Raiden 2.0, Liu Kang and Kitana Lords of The Netherealm, and the retirement of old fan favorites.The end was when it got really interesting, but that's exactly the problem, it ended too soon.The story wasn't bad, it had to be told for the sake of the next sequels.
Now we shall wait until 2019, hoping the next story delivers something mind-blowing, instead of being just "average".
