You know, I wonder what it's like for Boon; going from doing what he loved, to basically being the only thing keeping Midway afloat, to being acquired by WB and allowed to make the MK games he wants again, rather than what the publisher needs.

He's not one of the few, but he is one of the people who have seen the industry change from people in their basements to huge megacorps.

I've not touched a Ubisoft game in ages. Splinter Cell was royally fethed by them when they stopped using Michael Ironside for the voice of Sam Fisher (that and they basically took all the fun out of it being a sneaky shoot em up). Stopped playing the Assassin's Creed at Brotherhood. Parkour assassination is fun and all but christ it gets boring.

Yes, as it's a rule that everyone should obey. I just figured there was no way I wasn't going to buy Arkham Knight/Witcher 3, so I might as well get the pre-order bonus for Batman.

I agree; when I was finally old enough to appreciate the Waiting Spy Multiplayer Game as I called it, they swapped the multiplayer part substantially.....

I really wish Mark of the Ninja had had that sort of multiplayer.....



Anyway, getting off topic. Rumor has it Liu Kang is back, and he's angry, and he's the last boss. Only a rumor, so no need for spoilers.

When the news first broke about Goro, you said I shouldn't have preordered to support this. I preordered even before Goro was announced, because I KNEW I was buying this game on release. One of three titles I'll buy on release. And you just said he same thing involving batman. Make up your damn mind, H!!

I'm always right. Even when I'm wrong I'm right because I meant to be wrong, thereby making me right by law of... umm... averages. Or something. Yeah. We'll go with that.

I enjoyed MK9, but I'll wait for the Komplete Edition on this one. Unless they bring back Friendships

Boon has been tweeting about Friendships, but it's still a crapshoot with how much of a troll the guy is. Love him, but hate him at the same time.

So far it's just Brutalities and Fatalities.

And it's been announced they're doing an iOS copy to coincide, same as injustice. It'll be a card collector as well, same release date, and in-app achievements will unlock stuff on console and vice versus. Sweet Googly-Moogly, my phone is getting decimated by awesome fighting games.

It's generous of them to constantly put that end section to most videos part where Goro comes out and the text tells you to hold off on buying the game until the complete version is available and on sale.

It's generous of people to not buy the game when it comes out, giving others a year long head start into figuring out strats/matchups/combos.

Goro is free with a pre-order, and will most likely be free to those who get a Season Pass. If you know your going to get it, there's no point in putting it off.

It will probably have Kratos and Freddy too eventually.

It would be great if they put someone in that was unexpected.

I was planning on putting off a Bone or PS4 until SW Battlefront this Christmas. Now I need one 6 months early. Son of a taint.

So...DLC is already two non-MK characters? I guess I can skip the season pass. Last year with Freddy it made sense to buy the pass as it would be the same cost as getting 3 or 4 characters. This time, I can get 2 for $10 for 4 that include two I don't want for $15. One guest is fine. Whatever. Two...starts getting annoying. Let's make Batman and Wolverine the next two DLCs!!

Introducing Tanya... and Tremor! And the Predator!



Who'da thunk Tremor would make an appearance in a mainstream MK game?

That isn't free then. It's like saying power windows are free with the $20,000 car you buy.

and will most likely be free to those who get a Season Pass.
That isn't free either.

If you know your going to get it, there's no point in putting it off.
Nah. I'm definitely going to buy the game, because I'm a massive MK fan, but I'm going to wait for the inevitable Komplete edition that has the 40 dollars of DLC thrown into the initial $60 purchase to come out first. "But people will have a head-start over you" is a non-argument because that's going to happen regardless. I'm a grown adult with a full-time job, every hyper-reflex teenager and college student is going to have three times the play-time as me within the first week after release even if I bought the game day-one.

Kinda sad there is no Kabal, but I'm ok with that since Tremor is going to be playable.

Well there are more fighters from the other DLC pack, though I wouldn't put money on it in the hope he is one of the next four.

People are thinking it's going to be

1) Reiko (Major player in the comics)
2) Fujin (Second most requested character after Tanya)
3) Spawn (Mcfarlene had slipped that it was likely he would be in an MK game)
4) Havik, Rain, Bo Rai Cho (Those three have had roles in the comic, but minor ones)

Top DLC preferences:

Rain
Reiko
Tremor (kinda want to see what the oddball ninja is all about)
Striker

Three are some of my favorites, Tremor by curiosity.

Well we have Tremor, so no point worrying about him. He's in the game. I think Rain's gonna bite it in a cutscene, so we won't get to play him.

Reiko and Fujin are the ones I want.
