Why ain't we had a female Guest?

[BecomingDeath13]

lolwut? WB has plenty of femme icons that could step in here. Sarah Connor and Harley being two obvious examples, but honestly if you don't think Xena the fucking warrior princess and Buffy the Vampire slayer are influential pop culture icons that are worthy of a guest slot, then to put it generously, you need to widen your scope.

With all of the uncertainty until just recently about WB and NRS. The push for another MK instead of Inj. We may not be seeing any WB guests this go around because of all of that going on behind the scenes. It's probably easier at this point just to get licensing for characters instead of risk putting in WB assets just to have had NRS get sold off mid development.

Xena would be easy, they could likely recycle some move assets from Wonder Woman.

 

[Yoaks]

What is this guest from exactly?

Typically they're from like, y'know, a big movie or show...

I haven't been on here in years really, but this post kinda reminds of that chrome dude who kept making posts trying to get his "liquid metal" OC into the games.

The Golden Era of TYM

Give me back shield loops as chakram loops and I'm lead conductor of the Xena train

 

[Marlow]

Grendel’s Mother would be cheap to get the rights to, but good luck trying to get that Jolie skin.

 

[BanTheTesters]

Mega Fox? How is that a guest? She is just some horrible actress that looks like a plastic surgery disaster?

Xena, Buffy, Becky, We should have got Ripley when we had Alien and Predator in MKx....



like?

I actually think if it was her “Jennifer’s Body” character it would fit mk…



underrated film btw..

 

[BanTheTesters]

We shouldn’t have any guests at all.

Keep it all MK,

 

[John Grizzly]

I see some people asking for Ripley from Aliens.

I'd prefer Rhea Ripley instead.

 

[Jynks]

Opra with assists form The View.

Keep it all MK, plenty of characters in the MK Universe that can’t make the cut just to make room for nonsense guests characters.
Bring back Hotaru, Havik, Drahmin, Ashrah, Li Mei, Tanya instead.

yeah.. lets just remove on of the most profitable aspects of the entire franchise, which nearly guarantees more games in the future. The guest DLC outsell everything but miles. It is time people stopped bitching about it.. it is ingrained into MK as much as gore is and will never go away. Boon has said that MK9 was "saved" by guests characters. As in NRS was saved.

YES

Not a fan of guests at all, and I know Pinhead's name has been thrown around a lot previously, but what about specifically Jamie Clayton's new female version of Pinhead? She was without a doubt the best thing in the new movie and stole every scene she was in.

This way you've got a female guest, still technically a horror icon (just a new rendition) with a long legacy, really contemporary, the movie did quite well, there's no conflict of interest in using the character in a violent setting etc, and in my opinion looked really fresh and amazing (no disrespect to Doug Bradley, the man's a legend, but those endless later sequels did the character no favours).

Almost nobody knows who those characters are. Good luck convincing someone to pay money for that.

Alien was technically a female.

Do you know how the licensing law works.

in order to use, The terminator, Freddy to name a few that have been used. The legal owners of those characters have to agree and have to make money (Not all of it goes to NRS)

I don’t like guests characters, I’m an MK fan and it’s sad to see characters that have been MIA game after game. My .02 cents

OGs do and at this stage of my life those are the ones who really matter to me.

It will never happen because the industry changed but that’s my opinion on guests characters

get fucked.. if they put in Pinhead and it is this version from that travesty of a fucking insult to Hellraiser I will riot!

yeah... here is another mid blowing fact for you... water is wet!

You can hate guests as much as you like by NRS themselves and this has been confirmed by reporters via stockholder meetings, THE most profitable aspect of MK is the guests DLC. Boon has even said that the guests in MK9 are the SOLE reason the studio didn't fold.

So you’re overreacting to my initial post LOL take it easy kid, freedom of speech. If you like it good if not go fuck yourself simple as that.

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Excuse me but I would love Xena as a guest, who cares if it's 2023 lmao

freedom of seach lol.. what are you talking about?

I'm not saying they are good or bad.. I HATE guest characters.. all I am saying is that they are integral to the franchise even existing at all and are not ever going to go anywhere. That is not an "opinion" it is a fact of how the finances of the game works.

 

[Mk9kevin]

Here are my personal pics if we ever do get a female guest:

Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Need I say more?

A game I really enjoyed playing was Lollipop Chainsaw! She’s hot af and who knows, maybe they could recycle some Leatherface moves?

And I know this is a wild one, but I feel like the TX was so under appreciated! Growing up I was scared but amazed and I can see her retain some of The Terminator’s moves.

I never use the word hate lol and The water is not wet btw.

 

[Afumba]

Yep, NRS should do it, we have some females icons characters, that could be awesome to have in the game, as Xena, Buffy, Harley Quinn, Sarah Connor, Ripley, Red Sonja, Catwoman, Cheetah, Bloodrayne, Selene, Mystique, Elektra, Black Widow

Is up to them to make it happen !

Please no superheroes. I make an exception for Harley, but superheroes should stay away from MK otherwise.

Wednesday would be funny. Its not a WB ip but why not...

 

[Jynks]

I never use the word hate lol

are you like a narcissist or something.. i said "I" hate them... I never even mentioned you.
