So I've seen a lot of complaints in various forums from here to reddit and the steam discussions(don't go there) about a few topics and I don't fully understand the problems a lot of people have.
1: Female Designs
The females in this game are in my opinion the best looking they have ever been. Kitana actually looks like a fighter and not a stripper. Sheeva looks like a badass warrior queen instead of a stripper and I really hope she is in Kombat Pack 1 but I have avoided spoilers for it as best I can. The designs here are vast improvements to how these characters looked in MK9 and earlier. They feel like they actually have personality that is expressed by how they look on top of how they act. Again this is a matter of opinion but I just don't get why all the hate. Also I don't hate strippers or anything I just don't like that design for a fighter. Maybe Mileena is ok since it reflects insecurities she could have with her face so it is used to draw attention away.
2: The Story WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
3: The $6440 Thing
So someone did the math and if you bought all the outfits and whatnot from the time store it would cost $6440. I can understand that as it would be simple math but there are a few big problems. Only 5 items appear, they change only every 24 hours, and some items will not appear there. Taking those into account makes the $6440 thing seem more like click-bait as the time it would take far exceeds the cost. With that in mind I don't fully get why people use it to argue when it's honestly a moot point in that sense.
So those are the things I don't fully understand. I get that the first is opinion and I don't fault anyone for having a preference. Perhaps someone can help me fully get why these are so used as the big points of hate.

2: The Story WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
So the biggest thing I've seen in hate with the story is Kitana taking out Shao and Jacqui beating Cetrion. For Kitana I would like to think it is because it wasn't just her. Shao had been fighting Kotal when she entered and finished the fight plus she probably had a surge of rage due to his comments about her and her mother and father. I think her beating him is both believable and how it should have gone down. As for Jacqui she was wearing a magical maguffin that gave her the power needed. She was on par because she had the power of the soul well behind her. Shinnok was an elder god too and was taken out by a human who had bloodline powers so this isn't that big of a stretch.
