Mortal Kombat 11 Switch is live, and there are 13 DLC listings

[Jhonnykiller45]

Yeah but they specifically mention periods of time on this website, which makes it pass, rather then a pack, you know?

"6 battlepasses (covering the same period of time) Battlepasses cover about 2 months of service and have goals and cosmetics"

And also, Fortnite is arguably the most popular game of the past decade. I think they fully understand the implications behind calling it a "battle pass" or even a "kombat pass". And it makes sense that they would want to get in on this revenue, the same motivation for them having easy fatalities and source crystals. The hot shit during Injustice 2's development was loot crates, the hot shit now is battle passes.

Biggest thing here for me though is that I see no reason for ShopTo.net to have BS information on their site. They probably just posted what they were given.

Sure, sure. But then why hasn't this information been passed on to other retailers, particularly those in America (aka where the vast majority of NRS' consumer base is)? Why is it that only this website and maybe one or two others have this info?

Best case scenario:
x4, 3-characters "Kombat Packs" + Shao Kahn (...albeit, a kind of scam -- given he's an in-game unlockable) = "13"
Rationale:
They've said they would support the game past NRS's usual 6~12 abandonment threshold, and Warner$tein would not support even an illegitimate child, were they not going to profit from it... And I'm pretty sure I've heard the "x4 Kombat Packs" rumour in the past. A dozen "bonus" characters would surpass the roster count of MKX, as well as leave room for fan favs' + horror themed cameos.

Worst case scenario:
x2, 3-char. "Kombat Packs" + skins / ancillary stuff + Shao Kahn ="13"
Rationale:
Precedent + reputation.

Possible scenario:
SWiitch gets more content than console / PC does, to compensate for the "downgrade".
Rationale:
NRS have done far more questionable things...

Prediction:
x4, 3-char. "Kombat Packs" + some other (game mode?) DLC
Rational:
Tingling Spidey senses.

I don't really hate this roster at all, I just think it could be better, but I love all characters spare for maybe 3. And Sonya could be a lot better in execution. All the other characters, I like a lot, even Jax, which I thought I gonna hate a lot, but he is DAMN awesome in this game.

Nitara, I used to hate that vampy, but I had a dream about her some nights ago, which actually made her really cool, so now I wouldn't mind her at all! I'm kinda curious what they can do with her.

I like your DLC picks a lot, and all those characters (spare for Shinnok) would also be in my lists, not as first choices, but close.

If it must be only 6 MK characters that are added I would have gone with:
Shang Tsung / Havik / Kenshi or Ermac / Rain / Fujin (not because I love him so, but I'm curious, and I know what it is like to wait for characters you really love) / and Sindel

They don't do repeat DLC, so Tanya would be on there as well, but can't.

Mileena and Reptile should also be added in later Kombat Packs, but I kinda agree with others, if they skip one game, they are gonna be cooler in the next.

I keep hearing they don't repeat DLC but noone has ever provided direct evidence for this claim. I know it's been said no back to backs but not forever. Also I believe NRS will do whatever makes them $.

I agree Mileena and Reptile as well as Smoke should be added in DLC.

I understand that when you are knocking characters it's not personal but simply want your characters like most.

I also share your opinion on the roster in that I don't have my preferred characters. I'm missing my favorites but I do have some of my top 10: Noon and Sub, I also like Cassie despite her immaturity. Shang and Shao are some of my favs.

Mileena, Tanya, Tremor, Reptile and Smoke are in my top ten favorites. But despite missing so many of my favorite characters I am blown away by the Characters we have already! They have done so well with all of them aside from two. They all have clear strengths and weaknesses and huge reasons to be a character loyalist. Liu Kang, a character that I only used for fun has me seriously considering him as a Pocket, I mean look at his moveset, all of his abilities are great, not like Scorpions or other beta equippables. B2 is a Oh launcher, low starter that launches. A nunchuck stance that has a projectile absorb and 50/50 corner carry. Not to mention a mixing teleport and a fire buff that has OS. Bruce Lee baby.

Not saying his Theory is correct.

Maybe it's because they compartmentalize thier leaked info to outlets and American companies can't confirm it's legitimacy?

That's cus its not true, and just a horrible game of telephone. Boon was asked about Rain being dlc in mkX, and he said something like Rain was dlc in mk9, so its unlikely he would be dlc in mkx, as they like to do new things.

Wtf is a battle pass? Is that something you need to buy in order to work towards content or is it just a shortcut and you can just grind to get all the shit within it over time?

 

[Kiss the Missile]

Paying extra money for the privilege to grind for rewards.
I hate what video games have turned into.

 

[LesMore]

Warner$tein would not support even an illegitimate child, were they not going to profit from it

Warner Bros which is run by Warnermedia which is owned by AT&T is run by a man named John Stankey who attended a Jesuit university.... So take your anti semitism back to /v/ could ya now...

Yep.

Shameful play by NRS. Not shocked. But disappointed.

We don't even know if this is actually in the game or not.

Sad some people still don't understand optional microtransactions, NRS already said those concerned about MT's where they force you cough Capcom cough* not to worry, he said this to Angry joe of all people, the number one guy who bitches left and right about MT's. As for DLC, if people want the game to last, pay a few bucks for more characters to add longevity and stop being so cheap.

I agree definitely. If i pay for something and know exactly what I'm getting then I'm perfectly fine with that. Especially if it is just a cosmetic feature or something. I know MMOs have been under fire for stuff where you buy stuff for a "chance" to get something. I would much rather pay 30 dollars for a sparkly rainbow outfit for johnny cage or kitana and know i'm getting it rather than paying for a special box with random items and a chance at getting it. Maybe people want to pay for easy fatalities or whatever. I mean it's their money. If you really want something you want it. I love MK and I want it. and I want it Day 1. I would still buy and play a balanced online HD version of MKT but more with graphics of the arcade UMK3. I think that ship has sailed and probably will not happen but you never know. way back on xbox 360, their version of UMK3 was pretty darn great. even better than the eventual version that had all combined. At least I thought so. It was actually the reason i bought an xbox 360 way back when.

Poor AngryJoe, he must be believing the opposite then. I remember when they promised him MKX's PC port was going to be as good as the consoles lol

Do you have to bring this up every single opportunity you can? HOly shit! I'm suprised you didn't use the gif this time.
Did you end up buying MKX PC on launch and that scarred you for life?

Sorry if I triggered you.

Yes to your question. I have PTSD now!

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

I'm not triggered, just surprised and slightly annoyed.
But at least that's explained! Did you never revisit MKX PC? There're many reports it's, well, "as good as the consoles" now.

Yes, I came back around February 2018 I think. Now it's playable, but I'll never forget that hellish launch week lmao

I'm not worried about the money at all. It's the reputation I'm concerned with. I'd rather the game not get bombarded with negative articles and vibes.

 

[HeavyNorse]

High Voltage is out, QLoc is in and they made a damn good Injustice 2 PC port, and they are going to do the MK11 port as well.
The MKX PC port is no longer relevant and using it as any sort of argument of future PC ports of NRS titles is kinda pointless.

Edit: I think the site had a hiccup, only half of my post came through. XD

 

[thesacrifist]

6 Kharacters
6 Battle Passes
1 Shao Kahn

Easy math

 

[Hostile_18]

6 Kharacters
6 Battle Passes
1 Shao Kahn

Easy math

Where does Krypt unlock, easy fatalitys etc fit into that?

Also why would battle passes need 6 different entries even if they were in game?

Lastly whats the advantage of putting up future dlc this early on? It's not like it's a store requirement, and for most games future post launch support is decided/announced after the base game has been out a while.

 

[Lisbeth]

I have a question, do you guys think leotards are coming back? They have to, right? They are classic skins. At least as dlcs.
That interview with the NRS employee I assume he was talking about 3D/MK9 stravaganza and not the old classic outfits right, since this is not a bikini? Because that would be a real fricking shame, I can't handle more disappointments

 

[Kiss the Missile]

All they show are a little leg, I'd imagine they're coming back.
Who knows tho, NRS seem to be on a mission to cover the females as much as possible. Hella bitchmade imo, but oh well.

 

[BecomingDeath13]

I hope not.

Syndel, Stryker, Smoke, Cyrax/Sektor, would be way better choices and way more popular characters that people will actually play.

Hey fuck you. Fujin > Sindel

 

[cavemold]

The premium game package come with 6 dlc and 7 skins and 7 slots for your gear . That’s where the listings are coming from
