What's wrong with him being a Pre Order character?

Aren't you all Pre Ordering anyway? You literally aren't paying any more for him, you just spend 5 dollars early to guarantee a copy for yourself. Your reward for doing so is Goro. That's how Pre Orders work.
I'm so against marketing (which is what pre ordering is... ie: buy from me and you get this) that I'd rather pay double to a mom and pop store to get the game early and not get to play as Goro until he is released. That is worth it to me.

I need to see footage of Goro before I get excited. Most playable bosses are OP as hell, but as far as we know he isn't a boss in MKX story. Bring on the footage!

Play Monster Hunter!
Hate stuff like this.
If this was any other game, I would probably buy it used and never touch the DLC.

However, I do want to support NRS, and I do want to play as Goro.

Still better then midway.

I'm happy and then I'm not happy.

I really don't want them to go with Pre-ordered DLC characters. Because pre-ordering bonus might differ from place to place. Since it's MK I must have every character(or else I feel like something is missing), so I'll be forced to find/buy a bundle that contain all the bonus DLC characters. :(

To those that just don't get the whole pre-order complaints here this out, many days before the days of DLC something like this would be locked away secretly for the players to unlock. All I'm saying is Pre-Order bonus BS makes many a gamer feel like they aren't even getting to buy the full game and I shouldn't have to feel that in order to have the full game I must be committed prior to its release. I agree yes I'm already in the crowd that will be buying this game, but its just something I refuse to support. Today I only pre-order a game which I know damn right I will be buying and if that game turns out to be a pile of shit prior to me picking it up I won't even bother with it. A:CM taught me a hug fucking lesson in pre-ordering shit.
 
Are you joking? The only character bans are platform bans because you literally have no access to him. In this case, you know how to get Goro, you have full access to Goro, and you not having Goro doesn't change the fact that you can play against anyone else who does have him.
And tournament organizers are going to know to have how many copies of MK X pre-ordered in advance and the code working on the consoles they have there?

The problem isn't knowing how to get it- it's theres basically a deadline after which it can't be acquired, which causes problems for a game that needs to be consistent in a tournament setting. Pre-order codes only work on a console to console basis.

Like Ketchup stated, you're still paying the same price the game. When it comes to Pre-ordered bonuses. The real problem is when the Pre-orders differ depending on where you buy it.

Like if you pre-order from Amazon it will give you Goro, but Walmart will give such and such.

When it comes to stuff like pre-ordered DLC outfits, collectables, art book, etc.. I don't really care things like that. I just hope they don't do that with characters.
 
Are you guys really that broke you can't put down $5 on preordering?

What's with the pointless whining, it's not even like it's console specific.

You're gonna have to pay money regardless for the full game....might as well deduct $5 and get a cool character.
The Struggle is Realistic

That is the one that truly angered me about IGAU, I pre-ordered off Amazon and got none of the exclusive pre-order stuff and wound up having to pay extra for all those new costumes. That's where it starts getting even more ridiculous, again I shouldn't have to deal with that BS as a consumer, just look at Dark Souls 2 and how well it sold and the damn game was released completed, hell even though they now have a DLC pack for it, it was at least not even announced prior to the game's release. Before someone on even mentions this though, yes I know about the pre-order code for the extra weapons at the start of the game, but even if you didn't have that code, you still had the content in the game available, you just had to get it the old fashioned way and play the damn game.

If I'm not mistaken Game Stop had come out a while back saying they are trying to work with Devs to produce exclusive content only available to Game Stop customers which is another BS slap in the face.

That was unexpected.

I'm assuming Goro won't take up a roster slot if he is preorder only?

Either way, balanced Goro could be cool I guess.

Can you imagine a double-fisted Earth Shake move?! JUST THINK ABOUT IT. :O

To clarify: He does an Earth Shake-esque move with one fist and then IMMEDIATELY does a second one right after it with his other fist. Have fun blocking that. And THEN, when you MB it, he does it 4x!
Overhead to low to overhead to low with 2 frames between them. Next generation ES right there.
