I can't really tell if Boon is trolling on the possible existence of Ash or there's a NDA contract from the multiple Evil Dead companies on him to not say anything. The trailer used two shots from Evil Dead 2, even.

I hate guest characters the normies all play for a week and leave again it’s purely for them and I hate it.

I just want to see Havik again. It’s been like 14 years since he’s been in a game.

I’m happy rain is in. Actually I’m quite lucky almost all my mains are in 11 Kano, Baraka, Nightwolf, and now Rain. All that remains in Stryker but knowing modern NRS that won’t happen.

I dunno, gotta be honest I was surprised Rambo made it in after critics threw a shitfit over how "racist" the last movie was.

Also apparently this is not even the final kombat pack. 6 more fighters are coming reportedly and boon did say this will be the longest supported MK.

Why are the worst fighters the ones that are supported the longest? This and SFV fucking suck.

At least Dragonball Fighterz has the excuse of selling a ton.

Speaking as a long time MK fan. 11 really felt like Boon is just done with the franchise all the interviews leading up to the release you could tell Boon just wasnt really into it anymore. The timeline getting reset after they pushed 9 as a big reset to the timeline was a big slap in the face. Honestly it feels like he either wants to make other genres of games OR they just want the DC money for injustice.

PURPLE RAIN

A movie skin pack has been announced. Johnny, Sonya, and Raiden all get their movie appearances and they even get their movie actors to play them.

I wouldn't pay money for it ($5.99 feels like too much for new skins and voice actors) but it is neat to see Christopher Lambert playing Raiden again.

If I were Boon, I'd use whatever clout I had left at Warner/Netherrealm to sell off the franchise to some other company to keep EA, Activision, Sony, or UbiSoft from getting a hold of it and then wash my hands of the entire franchise

Heck, if I were in Boon's position, I'd sell off the franchise but also have a clause that would allow smaller developers or hobbyists to make 2D MK games with MUGEN or a similar program and officially sell them on Steam in exchange for a cut of the profits going to the IP holders, provided they abide by a set of guidelines and include a disclaimer

If it weren't for Capcom possibly going woke, I'd sell it to them and make the fabled Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat game a reality.

With how faggy this MK game was and how pathetic the make the storymodes now I think the MK series is pretty much dead now. They just keep fucking up the characters by making them less interesting than CNN. The retarded SJW shit they put in MK11 and the fact they dont have any interesting direction to take it anymore. Newer characters suck, writing sucks, and they keep fucking rebooting it.

Unpopular opinion, but I actually like Mortal Kombat: Armageddon completely unironically despite the fact it hasn't aged well at all.

I think most of the shade Armageddon gets is in retrospect because back in 2006-2007, I remember a lot of the people I knew online and IRL who were into MK actually liked Armageddon when it first came out and the only complaint was the generic fatalities. Anecdotal, I know, but I feel like MK Armageddon and the PS2 era of MK in general gets a lot of undue hate these days.

I'm curious how much of that is due to the shitshow that was Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and Midway's death throes in general that more or less synced with the wider malaise of the Great Recession in the late 2000's.

Like, when you replay Armageddon for the PS2, there's a lot of good concepts that I think should have returned for later games like the admittedly limited Kreate-A-Kombatant mode and I remember at the time that Armageddon was meant to be this "Grand Finale" where the series was going to finally come to a true and definitive end and so the sky was the limit with the massive roster and experimental things like the custom characters and chain fatalities.

Even as late as 2011, they held the pretense of Armageddon being the series finale by having MK9 serve as a reboot that used Armageddon's premise to set up said reboot. Then everything went to shit with MKX and especially MK11.
