If that's your answer to @ZeZe, then you are simply retarded. Not only that you ignore others you also don't seem to understand how same price tag is different across the globe when it comes value.

Obviously you couldn't see the sarcasm in that post. Oh I'm so sorry that you can't see the troll in that post, at least I had the decency to not call people idiots and retards, which we shouldn't be bringing into this convo.

I see no problem supporting NRS. DLC is only bad if the price is truly outrageous or the company is scummy.

LBSH, if minimum wage is $16.00 an hour...then you have no right to complain about prices.

Higher minimum wage + higher prices = exactly the same cost relative to everyone else

So really we have the same right to complain as everyone else, but its like the right to free speech, if you exercise it too much you look like an asshole.

Why are so many gamers strapped. Time to work some overtime or just get a job. The cheaper DLC is, Netherrealm makes less money and could affect future dlc or games. They have corporate goals and future business decisions ride on how much they make.

GGA Max · Mar 20, 2015

DLC prices should be based on income on a per-person basis. Plain and simple.

VFELLHN · Mar 20, 2015

I dont care. I love so much this game. I love so much what ed boon and team do about this game. Actually mk worth the money more than any other game outhere. So if you truly love the game you buy dlc anyways. From my side i cant control it. HAHAHA

ColdBoreMK23 · Mar 20, 2015

I knew there would be a post complaining about the price of DLC. It happens with every game and my response is the same no matter what game or forum: don't like itdont buy it.

There are people complaint about the Handsome collection for Borderlands which comes with two full games and every single piece of DLC for it for $60, proves you can't please eberyone.

Your post reeks of irony. You sound like a foolish child to accept this atrocious price for the 'complete' game that they already had before release. NRS and Ed Boon are crooks.

Uh, you do realize that these characters aren't finished yet right? They aren't on disk, they aren't taking away any content, they are just optional characters and skins to buy, essentially separately, there will be 5 skin packs, and 4 characters in the kombat pack, one skin pack for launch, and one coming with each dlc character, if you want to buy all of them anyways, it is better to get the kombat pack since each skin pack would likely be $5 each, so overall if you get everything separately that would be $45 so essentially the kombat pack saves $15. If you dont want every character in it, buy which ever character you want separately

ColdBoreMK23 · Mar 20, 2015

Also, if you wanted to save money you could have gotten the digital version with the kombat pass for $81 a couple weeks ago. Essentially saving $10 off the price if you're a Ps4 player.

HomeLee1121 · Mar 20, 2015

Let's be really serious here......only like 5% of the actual consumer that will buy dlc will actually stick with it. Its like the whole zatanna dlc.....only 3 people used her when so many people cried and wanted her in. If you just buy the skins and not the characters, it won't be expensive. Then again....if you think 30$ is a lot......I think you have more important things to worry about than NRS selling dlc

Australia prices always big, but income earned is also bigger. Min wage in Aus is 16.87 an hour, here in Ontario is about 11 bones, somewhere like Arizona its 8 dollars an hour.

The cost of living here is also one of the most expensive in the world.
Especially in Sydney.

Vote with your wallet and don't buy it. It's not like you need to buy the DLC to learn the match ups when you can get match up experience at locals, online and what not (contrary to people insisting you need to buy them to learn match ups). I got by just fine without buying Freddy and I found buying all the DLC for Injustice a waste cause I only labbed with Martian in a deep, relevant way and learned the match ups by playing them so that's what I'll be doing for MKX.

If history shows us anything, it's best to wait for the Ultimate/Komplete edition to save a good deal of money so you can get all the content in one shot. I personally don't want any guests on mine so if I buy anything, it would just be skin packs for Sonya and Goro (if they even get skins, that remains to be seen) and the two MK characters at most.

Most of the costumes will probably be for characters you're not going to main, alt or even use so in that respect, why bother beyond pure novelty? I only bought skin packs in Injustice that included Hawkgirl and Raven/Cyborg, nothing that didn't have them.

Good. That means bodying you with Jason will be easy. :DOGE

Also on topic: Time or money. Pick one.

I couldnt care less, I got the 180$ collector edition I get my code to download all this DLCs

If you buy skin packs, you are a money-wasting fool, full stop.

If you're like me and think that all the extra skins are worth $0, then you're completely correct in saying that $30 is way too much to be paying for a season pass.

Can't.... can't stop laughing.....

My issue with the DLC is that they're bundling the skin packs in order to 1) bump the price and 2) artificially boost sales of shit that people don't want. If you buy skin packs, you are a money-wasting fool, full stop. Season passes used to be about saving money for loyalty, but they're now about shoving as much extra shit into a box as possible in order to give you the perception of a good deal while simply milking more money from you.

If you're like me and think that all the extra skins are worth $0, then you're completely correct in saying that $30 is way too much to be paying for a season pass.

Just quoting this in case it was missed. Couldn't have said it better.

BLACKRENEGADE · Mar 20, 2015

You can donate plasma easy twice a week to pay for it. Win-Win Situation!

Montanx · Mar 20, 2015

It was 20 bucks with the psn deal. I think ill live.

SaltShaker · Mar 20, 2015

Speaking about skins, I just can't understand buying one. Maybe some of you don't know any better?

Coming from a Tekken background, where I've always been able to play the game and unlock unique customizable clothes for my characters outfit for free, I can't understand how anyone can buy skins.

You're so gullible. They're ALL finished characters before the game is released; they just release them as DLC to get more profit. Holy shit this site is full of children xD

True, I kinda feel like paywall-content takes part of the game hostage from me. But sometimes, I just can't sit and let my game be non-definitive. Not that I buy skins on the regular, these CS:GO players...

$30US & $45 AU for 4 characters which probably could or should have been on disc.

$45 AU. The game is advertised as $99.95 by leading retailers.

So I can pay 100+45 = 145 for the complete roster. Cool.

Don't buy it then bruh.

At least the DLC isn't on the disk already.

I'm pretty sure Tyler just said on stream yesterday that he can't show Jason because he is not finished.
