If it's from a DC property like V for Vendetta, then no problem. Other than that, screw that.
The fact that people are mad that a character they did't want or like is in the game instead of a different character that they probably wouldn't want or like.
If they didn't have a 4th DLC character at all you still would have lost interest, and saying an optional addition is somehow a deciding factor is kind of absurd. Not only did you not have to buy Freddy, you could also leave a game with a Freddy player in it at any time, even in the select screen.
I bought all 4 DLC characters and I ended up not maining any of them because after the initial hyper over them being new died down I realized the characters that I have the most fun with are already in the starting cast.
I only used Freddy a handful of times and I don't even like the character to be honest but I still think the whole elitist argument is ridiculous.
You weren't forced to buy the pass you could have waited and you got EXACTLY what was advertised 4 dlc characters at a discount it was NEVER said the characters would only be from MK.
Welcome to the world of the Season Pass. A lot of people--dare I say "most"--were locked into Freddy because of that. Shit was bought and paid for whether you wanted it or not. You could try to pretend that Freddy was your freebie for the price of three, but we all know damn well that Skarlet was the freebie, because judging by the 75% negative reaction to his inclusion, if people knew ahead of time Freddy was in, a huge portion of them never would've bought the pass to begin with.
Why would they have? People had a reasonable--a really fucking reasonable--expectation that there would be all MK characters and not some random nonsense. Forgetting the fact that on top of all the fuckery that went into Freddy's inclusion, it wasn't even the cool Freddy.
The whole thing was a catastrofuck of a botched coat-hanger abortion with the way it was handled. All secret squirrel-like. Everyone thought we were getting an MK character that deserved to be in the MK reboot rather than WB's hamfisted plug at a sequel that wouldn't make it past the "hey, should this movie have a sequel?" question.
If they want to do a guest character, fucking fine. See if I give up a single damn, shit or fuck about it. But do it as a separate DLC advertised FOR EXACTLY WHAT IT IS, rather than secretly locking your customer base into it for 15 dollars. A colossal dick move in any language.
honestly if injustice gets an mk guest ill be over the moon , we got shafted by warner bros i dont see y the same wont happen this time around -- all that said freddy is a fun character to use and to play againstThat would be the "reasonable expectation" part. Considering it was a franchise reboot and not Soulcalibur.
NRS knows exactly what they did.
He could be cool to play, and it would be a way for DC to bring more attention to the "Before Watchmen" comics. Then again, I heard most of them sucked.I really wouldn't mind Rorschach as a guest character, but that's about it. Boon really needs to deliver on those vague underground characters.
