LOLIf you look at it one way, you kind of got Meat.
On the contraire, I believe fans have no respect for MK if they quit the game because of a simple guest character. That's ridiculous and quite childish if you ask me. Kind of like "boohoo they didn't give me a crappy post-umk3 char so I quit". I believe they want to keep Fujin and Shinnok for a future game. Shinnok is obviously part of a sequel since you see him at the end of the story line. Fujin is post-Raiden and MK9 is based on the Raiden storyline so obviously it would be premature to put him in this game. I find Freddy fits the MK universe a lot better than any other guest they could have added. And for xbox players, don't download the compatibility pack if you like, but don't cry like a baby when some dude beats the shit out of your top-tier character in a tourney with Freddy because you didn't learn the matchup. (That is, if they allow him of course.)Might sell the game and start using a shooter. I love mk, but they have no respect for the true fans by making the compatibility pack mandatory.

Freddy made me enjoy gory things as a child when I was forced to watch his movies by my babysitting uncles (don't worry, I didn't grow up into a maniac or anything). It was a gateway to the first Mortal Kombat games for me which i started playing just a few years later. For those of us who grew up with the first Mortal Kombat games, chances are we grew up with Freddy Krueger too (both were pretty popular in the mid 90's). I bet most haters are just too young to have lived that era. I'm sure Ed Boon was greatly inspired by Freddy Krueger too when he got into the video game industry (it would explain all the gore), which is why he decided to make a MK character out of him. Now that he's associated with WB, it gave him the possibility to do it so he did. And for those of you comparing him to Bugs Bunny... I mean come on, for real? That's worse than comparing Liu Kang to the Karate Kid or the Mega Babies.
I bought a PS3 only to play MK9. Because it reminded me of the good ol' days. The good ol' days when we wrote moves on pieces of paper and exchanged em at school because we didn't have Internet. The good ol' days when we talked about Freddy movies because it got us so damn scared of going to sleep even tho it was ridiculous. I grew up with all this shit, so I gladly welcome Freddy Krueger to the MK universe. Not as a MK character, but as a decent, respectable GUEST.
I believe you guys asked to.make the patchs mandatory. There is another thread on the forum crying about how "well i know y they can't on the 360.but that they aren't mandatory for the ps3 is bs" or something along those linesMight sell the game and start using a shooter. I love mk, but they have no respect for the true fans by making the compatibility pack mandatory.
Expectations were too high for this to be respectable. Scarlet.. Kenshi.. Rain.. it was getting better and better. That's probably the reason many people are so upset is the huge let down (me included). I respect everyone's opinion, but if you have your hopes up for a character better than rain.. and you get a skinny 80's villain who knows nothing about hand to hand kombat, what do you expect?Not as a MK character, but as a decent, respectable GUEST.
Lol, they didn't do it for anyone BUT Freddy. It IS a little hypocritical on my part, but much more on NRS.I believe you guys asked to.make the patchs mandatory.
