I'm sure we'll see a character reveal (or multiple) but a show like Gamescomm be a good time to reveal a new mode too. Maybe see what Invasion is all about.

We don’t know anything about this game. Nothing about game modes, customization, single-player content, online features….NOTHING. Game is out in less than a month, and NOTHING! But they make sure to plug their paid DLC every trailer

"WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! BABY NEEDS HIS BOTTLE OR HE'S GONNA SHIT HIMSELF!"

"WAAAAAAAHHHH!! WHY CAN'T THE CORPORATION CATER TO MY SPECIFIC NEEDS? WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Oi, mate. Does the wee wittle baby need to take a nap? Does the wee wittle baby need 'is snackies? Poor wee wittle baby.

Imagine siding with a multi-million dollar corporation over a person asking for more info

The whole promo cycles is much shorter then what you see in other games and literally every trailer was great so far. We will get the info's he is asking for before release so that he can decide if he wants to preorder or not.

Hopefully new "trailer" reveal instead of the word "character" means this one is based around the game or modes or online or something. At this point I'd much rather see that than "here's Shao Khan and Sindel".

It is pretty dogshit that we have no info on a major mode 1 month away from release. The only info we have gotten is from leaks. I forgot that Street Fighter 6 kept World Tour hidden until near release….

Hopefully the Gamescom trailer gives us a peek at it.

I think it's more like, what are people here even going to do based on that info? It's not like at this point people on TYM are just waiting with bated breath for more info to finalize whether they're gonna buy the game. They are. We all are. In less than a month we're all gonna be more familiar with all the modes than our own living rooms.

So let's just be real about it. We're all impatient and excited, and knowing that there are people in the world that know all the details and we don't is agonizing. This isn't about morals or what corporations are responsible for doing, it's that the flesh is weak and we need that MK in our veins now.

I think it's reasonable to expect more info on modes at this point.

What will the krypt be like? Are we gonna get a challenge tower or an equivalent extra no brainer mode? The awful towers of time again? How is ranked going to work? What's the monetization gonna be like?

I know you like to fuck with people and I'm usually down for it, and maybe I'm getting baited but I hope you're not serious.

It doesn't make you a whiny piss baby to want to know more info about a game coming out in a month, and a corporation wouldn't be catering to specific needs in any way by elaborating on core features. What that really would be is catering to a general consumer's standard expectations. I'm sure they will before launch, but it would be nice to know pretty soon. I hope the game does surprise us at launch, but with extra content or a secret character, not by us figuring out basic modes. Speculating on the roster is fun, but not so much with "God I hope ranked doesn't suck". We naturally already know all about shit we can spend extra money on before the game even drops, let's see what we will actually get at launch in terms of features and modes.

I'm excited as fuck for MK1 even if I'm a little disappointed with the way they're advertising it. I've liked every trailer they've put out, but we have got little in terms of actual character breakdowns. Obviously we've seen a good bit on Sub, Kitana, Kenshi, and Liu. The Scorpion, Cage, Smoke, Li Mei, Ashrah, Geras stuff we have seen was super exciting. There's been only a few kombat kasts and they're good, but why haven't we seen more? MK11 did like 7 of them before launch if I remember correctly. I have no issues with the quality of what they've shown, I just want to see the other stuff.

Answer me these two questions:

Did you pre-order the game?

If no further info was given before release, would you cancel your pre-order?

No, as hard as it’s been. Had I already pre ordered, I wouldn’t cancel though. Bummed I’ll miss out on the beta but oh well. My issues aren’t that their marketing is ineffective, but it’s frustrating. It feels like they know this fan base would support the game even if it were shit, so they take it for granted that we are gonna buy it. Luckily the game looks excellent, but I’m frustrated we have so much to see still this close to launch.
