if you cant realize that i know why they would put guests in the game and yet dont like it then idk what to tell you. not gonna praise nrs, ( yes a company owned by wb the distinction is irrelevant so who cares) on a decision i dont like just because they'll earn a quick buck with guests over a character from the DC universe in ther DC game and want dc fans actually want like some cuck lul.
also sorry buddy this time around i think people are sick of guests and its showing from this site, reddit, to youtube etc. and ur def a fanboy trust me nobody who isnt wouldnt go to bat this hard coming wih the "hey come on its warner bros, not nrs u guise pls understand their feelings " whiteknighting lul
Oh you do know, but at the end you don't realize that the reason that you do know comes of the another reason that I know that exist in addition to that reason, and you know that too, but you think that it is irralvent. And yes the ownership is VERY relevant, if it wasn't like that, then not only we wouldn't have IJ1 or IJ2 (probably), but both MK9 and MKX would've been very different. All of the decisions regarding the DLC, including the guest characters, are coming from WB, NRS most likely have only very little power regarding that. It is WB's decesion, yet you, like pretty everyone else, continue with this stupid notion that just because Ed Boon is at NRS, that means that NRS are calling the final shots because Ed Boon is the creator of MK.
Let me give you a reality check: Ed Boon indeed created MK along with John Tobias, but neither of them owned MK back in the 90's, Midway did, and when Midway got bankrupt, WB bought the rights to MK, and they hired Ed Boon because they knew that only Ed Boon can make MK games the way they should be. So are WB do use their influence to add some cash-ins like guest characters? Yes they do, and it's their final decisions to decided which guest characters to put and how many. Even if Ed Boon or NRS themselves want to put a guest character on their own accord, they can't put it there without permission from WB. And even with all of WB's influence, at least they were smart enough to let Ed Boon to work on the new MK games and not be like what Konami eventually did with Kojima and the Metal Gear series (and no I'm not a Metal Gear fan at all, I never played any Metal Gear game, I'm just using it as an example), and without WB, all of the pot bonuses for tournies that you and the competitive players care about so much, won't be available for tournies.
And trust me, people already complained about guest characters for a long time yet they come up to like them. Leatherface turned out to be very fun to play (hell I like now out of all the guest characters), Jason is also pretty fun to use, and A LOT of people have requested Predator and Alien. And now Raiden and Hellboy, Raiden was expected and had enough requests, and Hellboy is a really nice addition to the roster. Not everyone is gonna like it, but embarrassing? Laughing my fucking ass off!
And no, I'm not a fanboy of NRS if I'm giving you obvious facts that would more likely protect another company instead of NRS and that is WB and I'n not a fanboy of them either. Please learn to differ between them before you're gonna say anything.
NRS: "Returning characters cant be DLC because we dont like to make people pay extra for a character theyve already played"
Also NRS: "That'll be 5 bucks a pop for these MKX characters"
At least Manta and Hellboy are hype
Ed Boon meant for returning characters that were already DLC in the past, like if Kenshi was a DLC character in MK9, he wouldn't be a DLC character again but he can be core roster character. Sub-Zero and Raiden never were DLC characters so they can use them, but they aren't gonna add characters like Zod or Lobo who were already DLC characters.
