Ladder dlc, multiple towers like in mk3 for 10-15-20 fights before the boss, you know.Chairhome said:
Netcode fix should be a priority right now.

I haven't been interested in Mortal Kombat since the SNES days but all of a sudden after watching a video on YouTube and now coming here I want it. I'll probably fiddle around with Portal 2 a bit longer before picking it up but the mood just hit. I want this game.

I just tweeted Ed Boon that we need a Versus CPU mode. Make it happen Ed, you're the man!

Yeah I'd like the Ladder mode to be expanded.. give the option for...
Ladder layout: MK1 (6 fights, 3 endurances, sub boss, boss), MK2, MK3, UMK3
Ladder opponents: MK1, MK2, MK3, UMK3, ALL
I'd also like to see some Story DLC. It'd be neat for there to be a tag/ko-op Story mode. And also give some options for story mode. Continue, Chapter Select, Cutscene Theatre, Options. Its a little too simplified right now.
Yeah, I kind of don't see the point to it. Unless it was something like 50 challenges for $5, I don't think it would add anything meaningful to the content.Sinatar said:
The only Story mode DLC I might want to see is the same story, just from the villains perspective. Let the follow up be in the next game.
I haven't even completed one fifth of the challenge tower. I'm stuck as Cyrax at a challenge where every attack I make drains 2% of my attack power. I get two thirds off of Liu Kang's health and after that my attacks only do 1% damage. Any tips?
I have every characters alt and I also have unlocked 100% of the krypt and
. I have completed the ladder with over 50% of the roster.

I'm most surprised this wasn't already included given how cutscene heavy the game is.infinityBCRT said:
You can always skip that challenge and come back to it later, right?Atruvius said:

Dont get the hate for the challenge tower. I love the challenges it throws at me. Reminds me of the Soul Calibur 1 (or was it 2?) story mode where you go around a map defeating enemies with certain objectives. I am enjoying it 
But it doesnt necessarily need DLC if there is something else instead that needs to be fixed.
If they have nothing to do, why not add a few more challenges? But I agree there is a bit of other stuff they could do first.

I thought this said that only special attacks drain your power? I remember passing this using all uppercuts and jumpkicks.Atruvius said:

I'm trying to get the grappler achievement (perform every character's fwd and bck throws) and the perform all X-Rays, and Perform a fatality for each fighter achievements as well.
I swear to god I've done all of them for ever character, but none of the achievements unlock yet. Does anyone know if they can only be achieved while doing them in a real match, or does doing them in training count?

They should have used that Reptile concept art as the default. It makes no sense that we time travel back to the MK 1-3 era but 90% of the people dont look anything like they did back then.
Oh well still an awsome game though.

I don't think training counts for that. Likely has to be in one of the game modes (includes challenge tower).Criminal Upper said:

why the hell does this game not have custom soudtracks? I have all the music from the past games and movies and I wanted to make an awesome fighting soundtrack from them
Messi said:
Who was the fighter with the red wrap around his eyes and was blind? Or am I completely off track here to think that was a MK fighter?
I can picture him in my head and he looks bad ass, but the name escapes me as my MK knowledge of characters is strictly up to MK3.

WHAT THE FUCK?ohhthegore said:
Even the demo had custom soundtrack option. They seriously removed that?
That sucks ass.
I dunno, I'm just not really feeling this game. It looks great, I've certainly had a lot of fun messing around in training mode and appreciating all the work that went into the animations. I like messing around and figuring out some neat 30-40% combos that I'd never actually be able to do in a match.
But when it comes to actually playing... I dunno. Most notably, I can't believe the reliance on dial-a-combos. Because memorizing a list of special moves for 25+ characters isn't enough already, now you have to memorize a list of dial-a-combos for each character. It just makes it arbitrarily harder to switch between characters. And beyond that, even if every character had the same dial-a-combos, I just don't like the mechanic of tapping in the buttons real quick then watching the combo happen, as opposed to pressing the buttons as they hit.
I also feel like there are way too many teleport attacks and other "attack enemy wherever he is on the screen INSTANTLY" attacks, and they're often way too fast to react to. But then, I have shitty reflexes, so that may just be me.
Still, the game's a lot of fun to watch. I look forward to seeing some high level play.

Training does not count.
Not sure if the challenge tower counts, but story mode does for grappler and x-ray.
KevinCow: Not a fan of UMK3?
Someone should make Boon aware of WorstGiefEVER's video:

Do you have the same issues with SF games? Because while they don't really have dial-a-combos, most characters have their own combos because they have different normals and links.KevinCow said:
zlatko said:Fuck yeah! I'll be paying for him.
Any news on why Cyber Sub Zero is the only character in the current cast without an alternate costume ?
Might be because he already is alternate? Unlike the other Cyborgs he already has a human form, though that makes me wonder why they didn't use it. Just color it white or something.

All the people who are buying these codes from eBay for $50+ are going to be pissed when they become $5 DLC. :lolMessi said:

I'm getting all DLC day one. I've just always been a big MK fan so I'll get whatever they offer.
I'd prefer to see new stages, new alternates for existing characters, new characters altogether and more challenge tower missions as long as they're unique.

thats why Im selling mine right now haha
I'm stuck on the challenge against Noob Saibot now and I'm Rayden. He's all roided up with buffs. It seems like everytime I attack he's blocking or he somehow pushes a button and is able to go into a combo. I'm going to take a break, this tower gets frustrating and not in the fun kind of way.

Yes. You can even buy out the last challenge from what I've read in one of these MK threads.
