Mortal Kombat 1 Adds Another DLC Kameo Fighter Next Week

I would just be happy if the thing ran well.

Seriously? Why he has two surnames? Where is his first name?

I didn't even bother to check out Tremor (or subsequently Quan Chi) before deleting the game off my Xbox. It's fun to play but it's just so hollow and soulless of an experience, especially with how first thing every time you turn it on the game immediately starts shoving random crap in your face that costs $10 a pop, and combined with how bloated its file size is I eventually just decided I was better off spending the hard drive space on pretty much anything else.

I only really bought the deluxe edition at launch because I had enough credit sitting to pay off half of it upfront, but even then I pretty much entirely regret it and think I'd have been better off waiting to get it a year or two down the line if they ever actually, like, finish the game. Though given how phoned-in and half-done Quan Chi and Omni-Man are compared to the base game characters doesn't seem like they're ever going to.

I really dislike the fact that extra characters through DLC is a common practice now.

The way Kameo was spelled, it got me excited to see how the character Kameo from Kameo: Elements of Power would be implemented and then got disappointed.

@NinjaNicky Pretty much every fighter does this and fighters before DLC were forcing you to buy "super" and "ultimate" editions to get the extra characters, wanted Scorpion in MK3 well you had to buy Ultimate MK3.

@Rozetta But Street Fighter 2 having endless versions was fine?

@DennisReynolds aw that takes me back to the days of regretting which version of street fighter 2 I had because it didn't have the bosses playable or the new challengers etc.

I might jump back in once Peacemaker releases, but Invasions mode is a grind, and you basically just unlock a color swap of an existing skin for each fighter, with the better costumes seemingly being locked behind micro transactions and DLC fighters receiving no new content.

@DennisReynolds home console ports yeah, they definitely milked it, but it was a little more complicated in early 90s with arcades. Some of Capcom saw the first sf2 as complete, ready to focus on console ports/new games since sf2 was at the end of the traditional life cycle. Nin nin and Goddard pushed for more tweaks and iterations because of the arcade/tourney scene, they didn't think the game was truly complete and thus sold a crap ton more of refined iterations. Def uncommon but I think they get a slide with the arcade context and that those games rule

Kameo: Elements Of Power is finally getting some love?!?

Ohhhhhhhh wait..... Ooops

@DennisReynolds

But Street Fighter 2 having endless versions was fine?

Of course not. Each SF2 (and SSF2) were closed versions. You can very well fight everyone on those games.

Heck, even Smash is in this trend.
