The fact there are Mercies makes me think they're coming. But that sounds like a HUGE commitment, but I have no idea why they'd even bother to include them then
Oh no. OH NOOOOOOOOOO
I really hope they listen to feedback and adjust both the apparent grind as well as the bizarre server requirements for... like, everything. It'll make the Switch version almost unplayable if that's the case.
Injustice 2 has a LOT of flaws (I'm still raging over how poorly it handles RNG and loot), but at the very least it let you do 95% of the single player stuff offline without needing a server.
Hopefully it's something they can patch, because with it currently enabled it's going to be a MAJOR hassle.
Same.
Same.
He's got a new design though so he'll probably come back. I don't think they'd bother otherwise. They didn't for the other characters that show up.
You will be even more upset when you play it yourself...
He'll drop down, being impaled, right in front of you.

After verification, there are no mercies.
It's just let them fall and that's it.
OH COME ON
Was he voiced or anything? The fact they've gone to all this effort makes me think he might DLC at some point in the game's life.
Huge missed opportunity to post this gif, lol:
I don't remember... Maybe him screaming while falling and some gargling sounds as he dies? ;)
I will wait until I play around with the Towers of Time and the Krypt before I make a judgment on the supposed "grindiness" of the single player.
I mean, can he even be killed for real? He's literally a ball of souls.Hmm, I'm honestly more intrigued than depressed right now. Hopefully this isn't just Boon fucking with people but the amount of effort has me curious.

I have a feeling one of the cheat engine geniuses will find a way.
I'm so fucking upset
Ermac's dead in the Krypt with a new design
Is the only way to accumulate koins/krystals is to do the towers? Also, could you randomly stumble upon your character's gear or more kurrency in the krypt? I'm not trying to make excuses for the game's drip-feeding us content, I'm just curious as to the ways you can make things go faster (as oppose to eventually paying for them later). TTT2 had this bullshit and you had to grind online for hours just to afford a hat, lol.Problem with the whole stuff is the game is constantly throwing sticks between the players legs.
you buy an character specific tower set which consists of 4 or 5 towers for 25000 Koins. In those towers they want you to have accumulated 50 uppercuts or 50 throws, so you have to grind this out first before you can tackle the character specific towers. yay!
you do a normal tower of time, it takes a long time and you get 10.000 koins and a few consumables for the playing, it isn´t even guaranteed that you get something cosmetic. yay!
i am sitting here with a Sonya that has in total 15 Skins, 4 intros, winning poses 2 fatalities and stuff and there is no guarantee at all to unlock something specific, i see the same intro, the same winning pose and the same fatality the whole time. the game is crippled essentially because you will never see those cosmetics in a reasonable amount of time.
so that is where these crystals come into play later. they want people to buy those crystals or play this game till your beard is long and grey.
people saying this is fine are not seeing the problem, this is a full price game with additional paid DLC characters and they treat you like playing a free mobile game. it is awful and it makes no fun. they should give out those cosmetics at a steady pace...
this is just awful, if the base game was 30 bucks and it was so stingy, well would suck but would be an explanation, for a full price game this is all the disgusting shit going on with games these days rolled into one nice package.
Another Switch screenshot, this time from Johnny's second fatality. (Was this posted already?)
I'm so fucking upset

This looks imo really bad. Worse than what fighters made for last generation platforms looked liked. Building something from the ground up for weaker hardware usually looks better than significantly downgrading something made for more powerful hardware to fit it on a weaker hardware.
Can you take a screenshot of that fatality to compare directly?
From that video only the opponent gets it, not you.
The towers/augments shit sounds pretty terrible. Needlessly confusing/frustrating. Unless they change it, I think I'll just avoid this aspect of the game. Lame.
I don't have that fatality and you unfortunately can't preview them in kustomization mode as you can with much other stuff.
If MK11 works like MKX, as long as you know the inputs you can do the Fatality even if it doesn't show up under the move list.I don't have that fatality and you unfortunately can't preview them in kustomization mode as you can with much other stuff.
What if you go in tournament mode ? It should unlock both right ?
Did you watch the videos and read the descriptions sephi22 posted?I will wait until I play around with the Towers of Time and the Krypt before I make a judgment on the supposed "grindiness" of the single player.
I'm sure a lot of people will be pissed off about this and they'll be forced to make some serious adjustments to it.Unfortunately, a lot of the cool gear and skins that are selling points for the game are locked behind this.
The Krypt aint completely canon anyway with the stuff that happens there.
With that in mind it would be sick to have Motaro there as a Mount.

I don't think it works this way in MK11. Everything has to be unlocked to use it. It says it has to be found in the Krypt.
Oh yeah i agree, if its similar to WoL then thats fineIt wouldn't surprise me if Boon wanted to let zombies steal the Krypt guy's items when he was sleeping while you're offline.
I know some people hated WoL, but I had no issue with it and enjoyed my time with it. I never felt like it was designed to purposely mess with you to drive you to spend anything, and there were other ways to unlock characters if you didn't like it. It may have been bloated or boring, but it didn't fell slimy. Same with Shadow Lords mode in KI which had some of these similar power up elements, but never felt manipulative like you had to spend a cent. We'll see how this feels, but lets hope it's closer to those.
So about the Krypt stuff;
Klassic Sub Zero also falls down from the Pit, but the guy on twitter said that the game bugged out and he disappeared.

Reviewers will make a big deal about it in a few days I'm sure.
Can I second this?No. I'm still going to wait and see for myself. There are some things you can't properly judge until you get hands on with it. I'm not exactly discounting his findings, I just want to see how this supposed grind feels when I actually play it.
I will agree. I was LOVING Injustice 2 (I still do, to a degree), but the grind was made WORSE over time, not better.Eh, I dunno. I don't think they care. The rate at which you unlocked shaders in Injustice 2 was bad, and the shader multiverses than ran for only three hours popped up maybe 2-3 times per week.
When the Legendary update came out, you'd think they would finally loosen up and make these more frequent with the game support/playerbase winding down, but they actually made them less frequent.
They get no benefit of the doubt from me. Their whole system kinda turned a game I thought was awesome into one that irritated the hell out of me whenever I booted it up. I know I wasn't alone.
I'm afraid that's gonna happen here too.
