How dare people want to play as characters they like/and are familiar with.
This is nothing new though. We all were here for the SFIII mess, right? People like what they like. Personally, I don't get hung up on it, but I can also understand in the same swing why people would be dissapointed a fan favorite/usually a locked in character didn't show up.Because I absolutely said that people can't want to play as characters they like, right?
Of course people want to do that. But to buy a fighting game based entirely on the idea of only playing ONE character, and absolutely refusing to even try other characters when that one character isn't in the game is what I will never understand.
Stop being close minded. Branch out. Try something new if youre previous main isn't available.
You know 30 year olds are going to shell out mad cash for Spawn. Nostalgia is strong.Spawn.
In 2019.
I'm glad SF seems to have a no guest character rule.

Netherrealm Studios: "FUCK ALL NINJAS"
Ed Boon: "Yup"
No one's commented on how there's 9 listed here, but the Season Pass is 6? Something scary is going on here.
I mean it's been commented on multiple times. KP1 is 6 characters, and they have pretty much confirmed a second. We assume the extra 3 are part of the second pack.
As a Native American, I admit I have a pretty instinctive urge to play as Nightwolf and absolutely decimate Erron Black for some reason...
... Can't put my finger on why.
Is the nature of recording lines across any media. They have record the lines sometimes years in advance.I wonder if it has something to do with the Switch version not handled directly by NRS. It's also probably an unfortunate by-product of using people like Ronda Rousey as voice actors. Get her to do all her lines at once rather than get her to come back for the DLC. Right?
I mean to be fair he hasn't been in a game since MK9.

That said, I think the datamine found the subtitles of the lines not the full dialogs. So not everything might make it.
MK9 had stuff from Fujin that was never used.
I remember an interview Boon said making Kombat Pack 2 for MKX was a complete surprise because the first sold so well and it wasnt in the original plans
Then Injustice 2 straight out announced 9 characters all bundled in the same single pass.
So I'm just wondering what the reason is here to separate the characters and passes? It makes me doubt this leak is real and not dummy data
They basically confirmed a second pass in a recent interview. They are planning for it this time.
We also have datamined dialogue's from the DLC characters. It is real.
Im glad I did not get the Premium Edition then if the sole advertised season pass is the only one included while they're seemingly working on a second (smaller?) one concurrently.
Maybe they wanted the Premium Edition to be $100 and assembled it in a way to reach that price point....but Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition with 9 characters was $100 two years ago.
Premium comes with the kombat pack, which is stated as 6 characters. There was nothing wrongly adertised there. It's not a season pass that is supposed to cover all dlc.
They've also said theyre planning to support this game much longer after release than their last few games. This game is going to have more dlc characterts than injustice 2 did, and will probably have a 3rd kombat pack down the road, in the same sense that SFV has done its seasons.
Though Injustice 2 had less skins (3) and only a few shaders (2) in their pack.Im glad I did not get the Premium Edition then if the sole advertised season pass is the only one included while they're seemingly working on a second (smaller?) one concurrently.

This one has 7 skins and 7 sets of gear too, on top of the 6 characters.
Damn, that's cool
Well, the price is justified...I mean the gear isn't like Injustice it's like a kunai, a pair of glasses etc... and the 7 skins... whatever. Like Apparently Ninja Mime is one of them. That's one slot entirely wasted.
That certainly doesn't justify the pricing.
But maybe the season pass 1 actually has all 4 guests and they had to buy the licensing... That would explain it. I'd be fine with it actually. And make the second one with no guest less expensive.

Quite the mystery...As a Native American, I admit I have a pretty instinctive urge to play as Nightwolf and absolutely decimate Erron Black for some reason...

Well, the price is justified...
Characters are usually sold at $6 (x 6 =$36).
Skins are around $3 (x 7 =$21)
And lets put the 7 sets of gear for $20 (close to the skins at $2/$3 per set).
Aprox. total for the MK11 DLC: $77
Injustice 2:
9 characters at $6 = $54
3 skins at $3 each: $9
2 shaders at $4 each: $8*
Total: $71
*Though are the only universal shaders in the game.
That characters are seen as more/bigger content, there's that.
I'd be pretty mad if I bought the premium edition and it turned out that 4/6 characters were guests lol. But that's just me.You're looking at this the absolute wrong way.
It's a kombat pack nobody gave a fuck about 7 random skins like ninja mime. You wanted characters.
They just threw the skins in because they knew people would get mad at that price for 6 characters.
So even if the price technically adds up because of skins, it's still completely whack.
They also threw in the "play them one week early" to force your hand.
Nobody would pick random skins over 3 characters. You're mad. If you love a skin you buy it.
So 4 guests would at least make this legitimate because of the licensing.
You say"nobody" yet, they seem to have sales data to back their reasoning. Same reason we keep getting guests, their data from Injustice 2 probably showed a ton of people buying premier skins.You're looking at this the absolute wrong way.

That doesn't mean that I like or prefer it, but you said that pricing is not justified, when in the end they just promised $40 worth of content.
Some think is worth it, others don't.
John Cena?
I really hope they separate the KP like an MK char one, and a guest one. Like Shang, Sindel. Sheeva, Nghtwolf and I dunno Havik and Mileena or Reptile. Then do like Ash, Terminator, Spawn, Joker and like Michael Myers and Pinhead or something,
I'm still getting everyone either way I guess.The first 6 DLC are on that list.
So no matter how you look at it they are mixed.

Why are they fucking with Sindel's story? Like you can make someone more interesting without completely character assassinating them.
With Ash, Terminator, Joker, Freddy, Jason, KRatos all canon in MK universe why not just go all out and make a killer smash game?
