Thanks for Watching, Dawgz! I Hope you Enjoy this fun little Response Video. In no way is it meant to offend Gaming Sins, the people behind it, or the fans who watch it. It's just a Fun opposition made for Comedic purposes. So, please enjoy!
While I did debunk around 90% of these sins, I also agree with a few and give credit where credit is due.
You know. .I really do believe that you should make this a series if you get the time. Good job. This video alone made me want to read more into the lore of MK. Plus, it's funny to see someone go in for once.
chris succee lol, no, it's all in good fun.
I must say that I agree with you 100% :3
+Vocallife06 u seriously have never explored the lore? It is awesome definitely go check it out
(just a bit of constructive criticism) you should've sinned the sin
Remember when DLC didn't exist, and you actually had to UNLOCK characters? Man I miss that...
You still have to unlock Shinnok in this game...so there's that XD
TrueUnderDawgGaming XD True, but I'm mostly referring to the way Deadly Alliance and Deception did it. You'd start out with say, half the characters unlocked, and the other half locked. You'd have to earn the characters somehow whether you bought them from the Krypt, or found them in Konquest mode. I dunno, I just miss when it was like that. It extended the lifespan of the game imo.
Mortal Kombat X is still a blast to play, but I still prefer Deadly Alliance and Deception overall. I just found them more enjoyable.
I get what you mean. The reason characters aren't locked anymore is because of competitive tournaments and Esports. Characters that have to be unlocked are typically banned at the start of a game's release because not everyone has access to them day 1. This is the same reason DLC characters are banned for the first week (or 2 weeks) that they are out. Players don't have enough time to learn the match-up. That's why (sadly) the days of unlockable characters is gone. Thankfully, we still have costumes to unlock (as well as fatalities and brutalities).
TrueUnderDawgGaming Ah, okay. Well that makes sense. Yeah, that's true. Good thing we still have the alternate costumes to unlock at least. As long as the game is good, I guess that's all that matters in the end.
Kind of another topic altogether, but who do you think will be the villain in MK11 and why? I've seen a lot of peoples' speculations, but I'm curious as to what you think.
Yeah. I like having less content in my favorite games too
"Kano's only super power is being Australian."
Dude, that's the only superpower he NEEDS to be the strongest MK character ever.
PeachyKeenKid As an Aussie I can agree
@@Baraka_II Aussie Aussie Aussie
Well Sonya has the power of Murica, so she should be stronger than him.
@@basilofgoodwishes4138 nah nah, Jax has the power of Murica. Sonya's got that badass girl power

Or every time he starts a sentence with “Alright”
i was going to say that, thanks
The funniest part of the Blue Steel Sub Zero thing is that they eventually made all of those costumes free
Ikr I reinstalled mkx yesterday cause I wanted to play triborg and alien again and I saw the gold scorpion skin was free LMAOOO
50% of the comments: Why is this guy defending micro-transactions?
The other 50%: Scorpions is sooo powerful, you underestimate him
That's an understatement bud.
The other 50% : look at these comments bro
Sergio Torres you’re actually right about both statements.
The other 50% THE POWER OF AUSTRALA COMPELS YOU
These replies are 200%
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Jax died from a "mortal wound" and stryker died by a punch.
Yet in mkx people can get stabbed through the lungs, have their skull caved in (usually in a QTE), and shrug that shit off. Poor guys shoulda waited until the TF2 medigun was put into comercial use ig lol
Half those guys shouldn’t have died from those wounds
No Stryker died by a Stryke(r)
A punch from a super charged sindal I agree that it was stupid but it wasn't some punch
Pepsi i mean sindel prolly crushed her fist into his face and broke his skull plus Stryker is an average cop while i do agree with jax he shouldn’t have died from a mortal wound
When he was critiquing GamingSins dlc part of the video, I felt like most of his points were just saying you need a lot people to make a skin, and how this price is fair, it takes a lot of work to make a functional character, etc. Though while true, it's still crazy that you only get 4 characters for half the price of the game.
Edit: I know this comment is really late, but I just saw this video
Basically it's a character for 7 dollars, which is really not a bad deal. Taking into account the effort that goes into and the people that have to work on just a single character 7 dollars is a perfectly good deal, it's just that a game (Which requires even more work in the end) is an even better deal. But just because one (the game) is a better deal than the other one (the DLC character) doesn't mean the lesser deal is a "bad" deal. There can be two independently good things
A really good deal is what if the characters had come all in the game.
Db raging blast 2 bring twice the characters of FighterZ. And RG2 didnt died without money for food.
This microtransactions is basicly bullshit
@@danieldmw I like how u explained that but I'm still upset about it
@@danieldmw no, 30$ for 4% of the game isn't a good deal dude, since that's HALF. THE. PRICE. Of the game if you bought it day one.
If you bought both kombat packs that would be 120$ DOWN. THE. DRAIN.
To add to this late comment even later, if he thinks those characters were not already fully ready to go when the game released he's crazy. It's not some spur of the moment decision to add a character pack to a game.
Says "you shouldn't be able to just buy all things in 1 month"
Literally an option to buy all items for 20 dollars
Yep😆😆
He said you shouldn't be able to UNLOCK everything in 1 month because it makes the game last longer for the player
If you want to buy it that's your decision
Actually.. Scorpion is strong as hell in the original timeline he became the elder gods champion
That timeline is not canon. That was the whole point of the reboot
TrueUnderDawgGaming true I'm super happy you made this video you have some fantastic points I think the only reason scorpion is kinda weak at this point is that nether realm haven't completely finished what they have wanted to do with scorpion and sub zero
I really want rain as a playable character in Mk 11
Along with fujin
And subzero is just an ice ninja soo.. Your Point?
There should be a sin for Rain NOT being in Kombat Pack 2.
Ares God Of War you say it like he was playable
Aqua Man he was, if you play story mode he is functional and everything, same for baraka
*Ya* *Like* *Jazz* functional they maybe Baraka only has his blades what else is there towords his other variations
Rain could possibly have other variations but to make it work would be difficult
LilAsianBoiアジアン honestly yeah your right but for some reason the mobile reason got it great, they have mortal Kombat 9 baraka but I understand about rain making different types with different moves
*Ya* *Like* *Jazz* That's unfair
When Cassie says “well that’s good then” she was being SARCASTIC
The reason why Johnny Cage didn't shadow kick Scorpion is because if he did it Scorpion could just teleport away so a command grab would be harder to escape from
Actually, being rapidly heated and cooled at the same time can definitely fuck you up. One side is burned, the other is frostbiten
Which means he’s being burned, twice
Yea they definitely would not cancel each other out. You would be in serious pain
But it’s funny doe
I was wondering if he'd get vicious steam burn. Subzero freezing the water particles in the air then Skorpion boiling them.
This is what happens if you're caught in outer space. Froze and burnt at the same time.
Not a nice way to go. And you don't last very long.

As much as I disagree with Gaming Sins on some of these, he actually isn't wrong about questioning why the soldiers are acting as if all this supernatural stuff is new because within the second half of the story in MK9, Shao Khan does try invading Earthrealm with military trying to fend off Shao Khan's army.
Farhan Kapadia c
Farhan Kapadia good point. But there r more demon like then tarkatin
Jakob Sprague tarkatans are actually half demon half human
I think I'd still be pretty shocked about that shit even after two years of dealing with it.

My problem with the QTEs in MKX's story isn't that you can't fail them it's that failing them yields no consequences and therefore is utterly pointless. I'm not even saying you should die if you fail them but imagine this scenario, IF you fail a QTE during the next fight your character loses a small amount of health for each QTE failed and your opponent lost a small amount of health for each QTE passed. This would make the QTEs actually feel like they meant something instead of just sitting and watching the scene play out waiting for the fight to start since you know the QTEs don't really matter. I dunno maybe that's just me but I feel like if a game is going to have QTEs they should at LEAST make a difference.
Like injustice
So your problem is..that you can't fail them
@@gaysiegelord
It’s the fact that the game doesn’t punish you for failing them
Injustice style.
@@gaysiegelord he clearly said the problem is they don't make any difference at all. And the guy in this video seems to think that gamers are retarded and they won't pay attention to cut scenes unless you put quick time events in them. This is just not true. There's tons of games with incredibly long cutscenes that are even longer than movies like final fantasy and people watch that shit. And the developers themselves didn't think those QuickTime events were so good because they removed them in the next game. The closest thing they have to that in MK 11 is just choosing which person you want to use to fight at the end of the cutscene. Make the cutscene itself good and this will hold weight, quick time events is bullshit to polish a turd. There's just no way a cutscene could be great and then people would be like man I wish this had quick time events in it. Just make good cutscenes and leave it at that.
Never have I thought I’d be watching a guy sin a game and then a guy sin the guy sinning the game
The goro one is actually 100% unjustified. He was completely playable at launch so no extra work had to happen in order for him to be available for people. The costumes and added dlc later on had to cost money in order to justify the work someone put into it but since goro was already there it isn't okay to charge someone extra for him. MK11 had the same issue with Shao Kahn, it's a finished character so why take him out of the game? That is the most shameless and greedy thing done in MK X and 11 in my opinion.
With Shao Kahn you don't even get him with the ultimate edition, you have to buy him separate. Pissed me off. I'm not sure about Goro because I preordered it but I'm guessing it was the same for him.
That’s just life. People have to get paid. Otherwise, you get a situation like what we had lately. You’re not required to buy anything you don’t want. And eventually most times they do a sell after a long time. Making them even cheaper. So I don’t see the argument here. Seems like it’s just simply a matter of patiences. What’s wrong with rewarding loyal fans I don’t get it.
79 likes holy crap.
Justified you + 1 sins
ahem its 5 bucks for what was a preorder bonus if you want to complain about goro then complain about New Vegas' courier stash DLC which is the PRE-ORDER BONUSES put into to DLC (for roughly gasp 5 bucks) it's literally the exact same fucking thing now the digital version of new vegas (due to it's age) is 10 bucks for all DLC
This is a pet peeve of mine, so I will say regarding the "read the comic" defense. A rule of thumb in storytelling: the story should be able to stand on its own in the medium it's in. So if I have to read a book for the plot of a movie to make sense, the movie fails in its job of telling a story. This game fails in storytelling because I shouldn't have to read the comic to know how Mileena got the amulet, which is a plot point in the game.
True, his counter proposals are cheap.
YES
This is the exact thing that destiny did and got flak for it
Fucking thank you. I hate that shit if I have to read so and so to understand so and so to me it's just lazy. I shouldn't have to spend more money to understand a story I spent lots of money to get.
Agreed. I have one friend who is annoying af about devouring all of the media in the correct order. One moment he's enjoying a movie, but when he finds out it is a sequel he gets all whiny

He's never heard of the Jinsei because this is the first time it's mentioned. It hasn't ever been brought up prior to Mortal Kombat X. Literally no other games have ever mentioned the term "Jinsei."

Would you rather it be the 90's where we get like 20 different street fighter 2 or an ultimate version of mk3 that you can't upgrade from the vanilla? There is bad DLC I'm not arguing that bilit theres also great DLC that can enhance a games life by years. But you enjoy being a dinosaur and buying a whole new game just for an upgrade.

Skullbones 98 uh.. it takes next to nothing to make a video. Especially when next to none of the footage is his, so he doesn’t even need to record or have recording equipment. A microphone + editing software (which he already has) is no large cost. The amount of midrolls times the amount of views means he probably made a couple of grand off this video, and it’s one of two parts. Bullshit is it making ends meet. He is just greedy.

Actually, Mortal Kombat X was the first time the Jinsei was ever a thing.
Well, QTE’s actually meant something. On the first try of the fight after the QTE you got less health for each failed part of QTE. I think it’s awesome.
That’s only in Injustice tho

The DLC is subsidizing the game. The gsme itself should cost more but everyone bitches if the price goes above 60 so they have to recoup in DLC.

Scorpion was a ninja from one of the most powerful clans of all time and lost to Sub-Zero. He was able to hold off against Sub-Zero for some time with no powers, and then got Hellfire powers, and you act like he has no skill or powers
Josh Bennett Hanzo Hashi before he was killed to become a Hellspawn eventually was just a normal ninja is what that one RUclipsr was trying to point out.
Bi Han defeated him twice. Killed him as Hanzo, defeated him again as Scorpion. Scorpion managed to kill Bi Han on his third try.

@@WontSmith yah because getting killed by a ninja with ice powers is fair to a just a good ninja
a few counters that I have so here's some of them.
counter 1 : The whole goro thing is agreeable with me, See in fighting games (and in competitive players) You need the whole roster, even if you don't plan on playing them, you WILL have to fight them to know what's safe and unsafe because you are at some point going to get hit by their moves. Locking one behind a pre-order pay wall with no way to unlock them in game, is a poor move. This also goes for weapons in shooters and power boosters in MMORPGs that are F2P. It brakes or at least harms the balancing of the game even if it's short term. (also look at sfxTk)
counter 2 : Yeah no, this kind of undermines what you said about 3d rendering being something that should be funded, because one, the skins are free and two playing a side game to unlock something in the main game isn't a bad idea however when it's for a whole new system, then that's dumb.
I love kingdom hearts, I played everyone of them but the cell phone games and even I asked myself "why did I have to buy a ps2, game boy advance, Nintendo DS, 3ds, cellphone (for a game that can't be played) then if I wanted to play the games that hit the game boy advance, Nintendo ds and 3ds I have to buy kingdom hearts 1.5 and 2.5 disks for ps3 or the 1.5 + 2.5 Remake, remake disk for the ps4 along with 2.8 because it has a cannon game kingdom heart brith by sleep 0.5 fragment passage witch leads into kingdom hearts 3 along with the game Dream Drop Distance witch didn't come out on the 2.5 nor the 1.5+2.5 disks."
and the crazy thing is all of that was to follow the plot of kingdom hearts, and we still getting another game, so yeah having the skins unlockable on mkx would have been better.
Counter 3 : Faction war was unneeded, also it didn't add much, could have spent that on other things to develop
Counter 4 : Raiden could have just picked them up.
Counter 5 : the books shouldn't be needed to follow the story of the games, the books should enhance the game's story. not be a requirement.
I totally agree with Counter 5 that is what ruined The Matrix for me the fact that not only did you have to watch the movies but you had to play the games, read the comics, and watch the short animations to even understand the story so I find it incredibly stupid that you have to read a comic to understand a story in a game that flings around in the timeline
%100 agree
That's not even adding that Dominic Cianciolo, the story director of the series and has been around since Midway did MK vs DC, tweeted in 2020 that the comics are NOT canon, so what's supposed to fill in the blanks between MK9 and MKX isn't there anymore.
0:31 "It's just a friendly opposition that was made for comedic purposes. That also being said, I'm about to debunk this shit hard."
As GCN once said: "The inconsistency levels are beyond astronomical"
i respectfully disagree with your counter arguments up to 8:14. if they are selling (29?) characters and 12 stages a storymode, online capabilities, tower modes etc for 60$, why on earth should 4 characters ALONE be half the price of an entire finished AAA game? at most if you ignored all other aspects of the game besides the character count then each character accounts for roughly more than 2 dollars each (60$/29characters). So 4 characters should be more than 8 dollars at least. I would be fine rounding high and paying 10$. i think 10$ is fair based on that math, but i will even say since its so long after launch that i would say 15$ is fair. But once you get into 20$ and up territory it makes no sense mathematically. Why should 8% of characters (the 4dlc) cost 50% of the entire games cost which doesnt even begin to include the cost of stages, the animation of additional cut scenes for the story mode etc. It just doesnt add up to be a fair percentage of the cost of content percentage to total game cost.
if you read this, and if you did make it through that wall of text know that i still enjoy your content and that i think mk is frikken awesome.

Okay let me say this for you, if you want to pay less buy the characters separate there is your solution
1. At the very least, if you couldn't die by failing the QTEs, you could've at least gotten a loss of health just like they did in Injustice. It only makes sense.
2. Raiden clearly possessed the power to heal wounds with his powers when he heals Jax after Sonya frees him. At the very least, his powers could've saved Liu Kang and Kitana before they died. Just making note of some stuff.
Sidar Erdem At the very least it would've put him in a more stable condition to where he could survive.
Sidar Erdem Again, I state, it would get him in a more stable condition. He'd still be very much under the threat of death, but his wounds would be less fatal.
+Sidar Erdem I have to ask. Do you have facts to back up your statement? Or are you just blowing smoke out of your ass?
Sidar Erdem Firstly, the phrase is 2 and 2. Secondly, I mean facts from the developers. Not just stuff from your word. That's very much irrelevant. You can find something from the developers that put limits on how much Raiden can heal, and you have won this argument. If you have no facts, then my analysis on what happen could be just as true as yours.
Sidar Erdem Prove it then. Back up your statement with a source.
"I don't understand this argument that pre-orders ruin games..."
Well let me break it down for you also as someone who has been to college for animation and game design with texturing, modeling, rigging, animating, programming, and so on. When you pre-order a game, you are telling the developer that you will be paying for the game, even if they haven't completed it yet. The more people that pre-order, the less pressure there is on the developer to completely polish their games. If you want to know why there's a decline in gaming quality since the late 90's/early 2000's, it's because pre-orders have stunted the development process. When your game was judged on its gameplay alone, it needed to stand up on its quality. If, however, they've already put out a good game and have hooked players into the franchise, they no longer need to innovate or improve. In fact, it discourages change and advancement because the developer will focus on giving you what you're paying for, which is essentially the sketchy promis that their next game will at least be as good as their last game. All the developer has to do is take what already has and disguise it as something new and anything else is essentially a bonus for the market. Mass Effect 3 is widely regarded as the worst of the Mass Effect series because they didn't take a single risk and gave us Mass Effect 2 with with some fancy new QoL changes. The story is bland, the ending was generic, the gameplay was the same, etc. For example, let's say you like a company that has put out 2 of your favorite puzzles. When they tell you they're coming out with a 3rd and you tell them you WILL pay for it, they honestly don't have to do anything. All they have to do is stamp a new picture on the puzzle and ship it out. They don't need to add pieces or make the pieces more challenging to fit together, or they can even "forget" to add in a few pieces and as long as you don't ask for a refund, they come out ahead. If you DIDN'T tell them you would automatically be paying for it, first and foremost they would be forced not to "forget" pieces because the reviews will hurt sales. They might try different piece arrangements or making multiple pictures with one puzzle because the reviews will show that this puzzle isn't the same puzzle with just a different picture stamped on it and it's worth buying.
Sure, games are acceptable now, but we will never know what we truly could have gotten if pre-orders weren't a thing. Now you may be saying that it's an unfair pressure to put on developers, but thats the name of the game when it comes to innovating art. You can't just pump out the same stuff and expect people to drool over it each and every time. MKx and MK 11 had mediocre stories that were half told on other media. Why? Because they had enough pre-orders to say "we probably don't need to include the whole story. People have already payed for it and if they want to understand it 100%, they can buy the comic we will also produce and make money off of."
Pre-order puts the power of the market in thr developers hands instead of that of the buyer. You are willingly handing over your market power for small, trivial bonuses that anyone else can get later or through other markets. ESPECIALLY now a days when physical copies do not limit sales and we have digital downloads. It may sound stupid to you, but you are literally ruining it and lowering the overall quality of games for everyone else because you need your little bonuses and trinkets. I plead with anyone who thinks pre-ordering is a sound market practice to cease. Your selfishness is ruining the the free market of video games. It's is not how a consumer controlled market is supposed to work and it doesn't work. All we have now that we will be receiving a quality product is the word of the developer and those have been regularly either inflated or downright false. If they didn't already have preliminary numbers on the amount of people they can count on to purchase their product, they would put out the best game they could because it sales rely on other people saying the game is worth purchasing instead of them already having a guaranteed list of people they can count on to purchase it, regardless of quality.
I love how he spoke Liu Kang becoming protector of Earthrealm into existence.
DID HE JUST SAY SCORPION IS WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No he sed that Scorpions only power is fire
All he does is kill people and then a new evil rises and he’s like “Well, shit.” Kills 1st Sub-Zero, 1st Sub-Zero’s soul is corrupted into Noob Saibot, kills Quan Chi, Shinnok comes out of Amulet and nearly kills all of Earthrealm.
Keknov When in the fuck did I say he was a weak character, bud. All I said was he kills people and then a new evil rises
for Earthrealm and he regrets it.
Keknov And basically that’s like saying Scorpion could beat Skarlet, which I’m pretty sure he could do.
Also what? Reiko on blood Magic wasn’t killed by Scorpion, he was basically killed by Havik. Reiko started to kill Kotal Khan’s and Mileena’s armies and then he tried to kill Havik but Havik’s divine plan made Reiko get killed and “It’s tearing me apart!” And then Reiko was used to get Shinnok’s amulet. Where do you think Scorpion killed him? Are you talking about Hsu Hao???

>defending Microtransactions
Yeah I'm already done
Naqam Angelo not all microtransactions are bad idiot... clearly you’ve just jumped on the bandwagon.
@@resogamer5917 True, not all of them are bad. However, MKX has bad ones (Locking Goro behind a pay wall) and it's a bad trend for companies to outright deny content already on a game by locking it behind a pay wall. Which the guys tries to defend in the video. So, yeah. Not a good look to defend bad business practices
HK I agree with that as most of the hate for microtransactions is shit like paying for things you should be able to unlock like in BattleFront how you would spend money on gear for characters that would take hours to grind for. I see no problem however for cosmetics, doesn’t change anything of the game and gives no players an edge. It’s simply a choice to spend money on something you think looks cool, that is if it’s a fair price *cough anthem*
@@resogamer5917 While you have an argument that I agree with on cosmetics (Being a TF2 fan), it is not really applying to MKX.
MKX has the audacity to not only offer a season pass but it also exempt skins from that pass to try and pry money from you. That's greedy and a bad practice which shouldn't be defended.
HK ik, i was simply using it as an example of why micro transactions aren’t always bad.
Kano,s only super power is being Australian. lols for days. so funny.
That's not true ! He also carries........................a knife ! ( Dun Dun Dun !).
Anonymous anybody can do that have you seen jason,GHOSTFACE, and jigsaw they all use different knifes but it's still knifes
I was joking.
Brian McLain he's more of an Australian cyborg, but the person making this video is completely right about Kano.
You defending DLC & microtransactions is a sin. Ding, ding, dinggggggg
Especially locked disc content.. Ridiculous Right?
Have you even took your time to listen why he defends it?
+Lemur Dawid I don't think that he did. He doesn't understand the development pipe-line and just wants his game content for free. And if there's any optional micro-transactions that don't harm the game in any way, then he still considers it a sin. Even though it just helps the game without hurting it.
TrueUnderDawgGaming Yeah, agreed.
I'm sick of people hating on microtransactions just because they are microtransactions.
Lemur Dawid Microtransactions are shit no matter what if they are in full priced games.
Sub zero literally shattered 2 people’s heads in the helicopter so he does have that power
I think the problem with the 5 dollar easy fatality packs is that the full game (physics, graphics, story, voice acting, distribution, marketing, etc.) costs 60 dollars... having the full game be valued by the publishers at an amount equal to 12 packs is a hard pill to swallow.
You do know that GCN to make a point SIN THE GAME IF THE DETAILS OF THE STORY ARE IN A COMIC OR BOOK OUTSIDE OF THE GAME
@RINGER What are you, twelve? Chill out dude. A guy disagrees with the video and you call him a mother fucker?
"When has Scorpion done anything impressive?" Let's see, he fought a superpowered Sub Zero with a Kamidogou which is literally one piece of the One Being (stronger than the Elder Gods) and won, then proceeded to nearly kill a superpowered Raiden (who's literally stronger than more than half of the cast) who also had the dreaded Kamidogou, also killed Havik, killed Quan Chi (most powerful sorcerer in the Netherrealm) oh and he became the Elder God's champion, I'd say he's pretty impressive...
When did he defeat Raiden????? And he only killed quan chi cuz he was tied up and weak. But of course you could use the argument from deadly alliance that Quan chi was running away from him from the netherrealm

The reason why revenants can be reverted in their revenant body was simple in my opinion.
Imagine the form is what corrupts the soul and as a character dies the soul becomes trapped in this new form in my eyes all you need to do is purify the form and the soul can take charge of its own body once more.
Almost like taking a sim card out and putting it in a new phone i think the revenants are merely shells holding the soul and thus the power of the character which also explains why the revenant is weaker due to the corrupted body however if its possible to house the soul in a new evil body then its possible to do the opposite and rid the carrier of the corruption.
I think i explained this okay apologies if i didn’t
Thank you for understanding the work it takes to draft, model and rig these alternate costumes. People have a misconception of how long it takes and how much labor it takes to create.
I still shouldn’t be paying HALF THE PRICE OF THE FULL GAME for an extra 7% of the game. Not only that but ain’t no way you can convince me that I should be paying that much extra for established MK characters. Maybe for guest characters but even then, $30?! They made waaaaaay more money than it took to build the game. They aren’t hurting that much that I have to pay $120 to fully experience a $60 game.

Is it just me or does it sound like Trueunderdawg is defending a lot of WB/Netherrealms shitting DLC and micro-transaction practices?
I think he is and when he said that Tanya is not fully functional there not playable well he was wrong. It is just Rain who will never be a playable especially since Mortal Kombat XL is voming out which has all th dlc
Deadpoolrockz6 Well Tanya is funcionable. It’s the story mode Tanya because it dosent have a variation. Also they are different people because one is white and one is black. So the Tanya in story mode isn’t functionable. And when he made the video Tanya was already available he knew what he was talking about. Next time see the full video

First couple of minutes of the video was this man bitching about the prices and dlcs, what do you want him to say.

If money grabbing companies give you better games then battlefront 2 is a perfect game

I immensely agree with this.
Best part of this comment is that battlefront 2 is actually a really good game now lmao
Boss Flyer and we had to wait almost a YEAR for the game to be good
Battlefront two is actually really good now look up some videos on why it’s good
Man WB must love people like you.
+Twilight Angel I doubt they would like me at all. Since I call them "Greedy" & "Money grabbing companies". I do support micro-transactions, but only if they're optional and don't effect the gameplay or its competitive nature. Plus, DLC that's made after the game comes out should never be free. I also agree that Pre-Order bonuses are a good thing. Since I do work in the gaming industry and the employees get paid more if a game is bought day 1 (since they receive a percentage of the game's overall sales). You can't buy a game on sale and then complain that you didn't get the Pre-Order bonuses. If you want MK11 to be good, then micro-transactions, DLC, and Pre-Order bonuses must exist. That's just logic in and of itself.
All that being said, I support NetherRealm and not Warner Bros. NetherRealm supported my channel and advertised my Beginner's Guides for Injustice on their website. Without them, I wouldn't be what I am today. The best part is that I never even asked them to do it. NetherRealm is just awesome like that. They know that MK came from nothing, and so they support potential ideas and free-thinking.
TrueUnderDawgGaming Isn't there an option for not to have them? Cause you like bringing that word "option up alot.WB doesn't care for the gamers or anyone who buys there games.Yes i know it's a business they shouldn't care for us,but we pay for their bills. We make them afloat. Without us they would be dead. and you call us spoiled? Why? Cause we want more for our buck? Cause we want everything in the game for 60 dollars? Alot of people this game at full price and shouldn't they at least get their money's worth! And not those seasons passes which is just there to screw everyone? Which the publishers care more than the entire game? It's nonsense
You say you hate microtransactions,but you defend them? Yes i know the ones you defended are optional. But does it make them right? No. This is a full fledged fighting game,not a free to play mobile game. You're one of those people who just accepted these practices and you shouldn't.
I'm not telling you to don't buy the next game or something like that. All i'm saying accepting practices like this is not helping you or me. Why? Cause they will get worse.It's great NeatherRealms supports you. But you shouldn't be defending these practices optional or not.
Twilight Angel With all due respect, nothing that you said makes any sense. You say that we deserve everything on the disk, but you DO get everything on the disk. Goro is a pre-order bonus and those don't cost extra. It's just $5 in advance. These pre-orders also help the companies gauge how many games to ship on day 1. Micro-transactions are not good if they are needed (like in mobile games where you have to buy them in order to enjoy the game). In MKX, none of the micro-transactions are needed to play the game. I've never bought a single one.
As for Season Passes, your logic there is also wrong. Season Passes SAVE you money. They cost less than if you bought everything separately. That's a fact. Micro-transactions aren't going away. If they do, then they would just be replaced by monthly payments. I really don't think you understand how any of this stuff works.
TrueUnderDawgGaming Rain and Barakka is on disc. Can you play as them? Hell no!.Will they be available for DLC in the future? All those other characters that were featured in the story mode. Will they be available as DLC? You bet your ass they will. Oh wait it's optional cause saying that makes it right according to you.
Season passes saves you money? 30 dollars for characters that could be sold for less is saving you money? Fuck outta here. And i didn't make sense? What i said made perfect sense. Why? I said what people have been saying for a while about these practices. They're screwing you! Optional or not. It's stupid and they just want to take every cent from people not you(cause you're smart right?)the people who are too lazy to play the damn game.Shouldn't the devs or publishers encourage people to play the game they bought or practice at least?Nah optional right? You're so bias it's blinded you like a damn fool.
You hate these practices but you defend them. Oh wait optional right? In the end you defended a publisher that could care less about you or the gamers. Cause were spoiled right? Asking for more for our buck? Or more from publishers or devs with there games? Like i said before WB love people like you. Have fun with WB and the optional practices. The practices that are screwing you like a damn idiot.
Twilight Angel You really need to watch the video again. None of the characters like Baraka and Rain are playable. No variations, no fatalities or brutalities, no intro out outro animations, imported MK9 animations, and so on. Even Tanya has a different character model and used mostly Kitana animations in the story mode. You need to start researching how this stuff works. Because your anger is completely misinformed.
The sad fact is this, and please listen, mobile games are KILLING the console industry. This is because they are using micro-transactions and "Pay to Win" formulas. If you keep acting this spoiled and getting angry over optional micro-transactions, then kiss your console games goodbye. But don't say that I didn't warn you.

$30 for only 4 new characters is fair? Yeah, it's totally fair compared to the amount of characters you get for paying $60 for the game itself, which is over 25 different characters new and old. I don't know about you but at the most they should be $20, and at the least a fair price would be around $12 or so. To me, saying $30 is fair for characters is like saying paying $60 for base game is worth only 8 characters
Ima just be real witchu dawg, that's not how money works
Lmao did you not learn anything in economics, There is no such thing as a free lunch, everything comes at a cost therefore the prices are fair you punani
They had go get the rights to the character then make a move list the hire people to actually make the characters designs so it really isn't that bad plus they are outside the game and they had to include them later
Loki PCMR no they don’t they already had the rights that’s why they are in the game
The DLC is subsidizing the base game. It's this way with all games. If they were to charge proportional prices, the vanilla games themselves would be $70-80. But gamers bitch and moan each new gen as the games take more and more to make but don't raise the price above $59.99! This is what you get.

With regards to the comic book explinations, while I'm sure they do answer the questions, one large rule of writing is that...
You should never require external content/story to understand the main story. In requiring to look out of the main story to understand it, the writing has failed. This rule does not apply to sequels or prequels.
Now, I actually havn't played MK X or now the full story, just the snippets from the sins video. So, for all I know, these questions could be inconsequential, if it is, my point is invalid.
Sidar Erdem
Yes, but they are in different mediums. MKX is a sequal to MK9, the comics count as external material.
The writing fails if you require external matrial to understand the main story. In Avatar, we do not need that comic to understand the story, it's side material that fleshes out the story.Sidar Erdem
Sidar Erdem
That does not make any sense.
Sidar Erdem
External sources aren't bad, but they should never be neccicary to understand the story. This is for writing in general.
Ad what the hell are you talking about with anime? Firstly, your personal opinion on the anime genre in general is irrelevant in regards to my point on an attribute of bad writing. Secondly, anime using this a few times means nothing.
The game gives us a general idea of what happened. But the comics go into more detail. It's not required to read them but it's there if you want to know more
