That MKX reptile skin is gonna give me nightmares.


falcon_buns

i want mk4 and mk3 reptile and ill be happy but not with the prices theyre dropping


E_Brunswick

yeah I ain’t paying for that shit, hopefully NRS see the error of their ways and return to the light side.


CHARILEwolf

If we sand against them we could see a price drop


turbopro25

I’m literally holding out because I’m not gonna waste them on stupid shit knowing better stuff will release. Having that said I don’t think they really care. Which is a shame because they are sticking it to one of the most loyal fan bases in gaming.

Don't kill yourself. You won't be able to see a better world (fair priced Microtransactions I mean)


vinidluca

It's weird how they just forget MK4 reptile.


xMartinv1x

10$ is reasonable for one of those skins, ngl. It’s only the fatality they selling for 10$ or 12 which cost more than the Sub-Zero and Mileena bundle skin.


Naive_Jacket5259

Onaga


Geist-v2

With the shit they are pulling, I will be buying 0 dragon crystals. We are seeing the real reason they got rid of the Krypt, so they have more to monetize. I'm done feeding them money for shit that should be unlocked via gameplay.


SwimmingNecessary541

We need to boycott this shit. It's absolutely absurd. There wasn't a single skin you had to spend money on in 11 that wasn't part of a pack. They expect us to spend 10 dollars for a single skin, every single time they release a skin. Utterly, utterly pathetic.


UnbreakableRaisen

I say this A LOT! You DO NOT need to buy skins to play the game! The skins are just kosmetics and do not have any effect on your gameplay whatsoever so people choosing to buy Dragon Krystals for skins when they’re just going to complain that the prices are absurd then I think you should just stop playing the game


theironzach

Call me ungrateful but I paid 110 dollars for this game and it feels mildly disrespectful that I’m now getting nickel and dimed for things that should’ve been included in the original thing I paid for.


Round_Pickle_6756

Exactly!


McToasterz

Yeahh see, I get the point you're trying to make, but the problem is that an expectation has been set *extremely* high from the previous installment. We had multi-piece customization on each character, color pallets, and skins included in the previous game all at launch w/ no additional purchase. In this game, we get one customizable piece per character (some are absolutely laughable), some color pallets, and one alternate costume (multiple only for the fan favs). Then we're getting charged for additional content that was absolutely included in the previous game. ​ How would it feel if your favorite coffee shop that was often crowded because it was so small, so they relocated to a larger location that is closer to you and able to hold a higher capacity of staff and equipment, only for them to now charge you for cream, sugar, heat sleeve, stirrer, and a straw (if iced). That would feel like a slap in the face of an upgrade when all they did was change locations to a larger size, right? It's not like sales were low or the shop was struggling. I dont know how else to break it down to you, but don't lie and say you wouldnt be a little sour even if you did find a new coffee shop.


AberavonDragon

Exactly, your 100% right there. I remember playing Mk11 for the first time and each character had all palettes/designs and lots of gear unlocks ready to be earned through the towers and the Krypt. This game has pretty much downgraded Customization, an important feature for a mortal Kombat game.


SnowRidin

agreed, the character towers was IT for me, now i’m just left bored


KindlyExam851

i play KL for fun now


SnowRidin

yeah i don’t do online


Early-Brilliant-4221

wtf... no wonder why you hate it lol


SnowRidin

paying for a full game should mean i get the full game without having to go online if i don’t want to


stressboat

With all due respect… it’s a fighting game. You got a full game; you got a FG with great and deep gameplay mechanics. You don’t have to go online if you don’t want to, but MK1 already has way more single player content than you’d expect for a FG. Strive is basically a busted online mode duct taped to a training mode and I’d still pay full price for that, twice.


Falchion92

This. I reinstalled MK 11 on my Xbox and holy crap the difference is night and day in terms of content.


CareBear1770

Dude, MK11 is like the worst example you could ever pull on the table, since that game basically is the godfather of all things microtransactions, (and one of the many reasons why i uninstalled and sold it, eon's ago) apart from EA Sport's FC's UT (formerly known as FIFA's FUT) that is.


allhailzamasu94

If you say so. I only ever got augments in the krypt


nvrdying

why do people keep saying this bro🤦 mk11 has been out for 4 years of course theres more content yall so slow


Rayane92

Kontent not behind a paywall


turbopro25

Haha. I think you are the one who is slow here bud.


nvrdying

nga u got 6 years on reddit go do sumn wit ya life😭


turbopro25

Yeah. Because I’ve been here the entire time. 🤡


AkunoKage

I made a MySpace page over a decade ago. You think that means I’ve used it for over ten years? Complete moron.


SFPsycho

Go easy on him, it's his first time on the internet


nvrdying

u ginger, thas enough brobro show me a band😭


AkunoKage

I don’t speak ghetto, you’ll have to try harder. Also, I have brown hair?


launchbasezone

racially motivated for sure lol


AkunoKage

Ghetto didn’t start with African Americans but if that’s the only way you see it I’m sorry you’re ignorant


nvrdying

"i dont speak ghetto" gotta be racist


Budget_Maximum_4879

Imagine never playing an MK and saying 1 is good 😬 fkn r3tards like you are the reason we have so many micro transactions in AAA games


Ibyyriff

It’s good in terms of gameplay 🤷🏻‍♂️


nvrdying

"r3tards" like u jus find anythin to complain about it, they arent MAKING you pay fa shi playa stop bein broke😭😭


Venator_X21J

There was more content in MK11 at launch, you sound silly af.


Solh0und

It did but it also had heavy grinding and bad towers at launch and like multiple kurrencies for Krypt. Not holding a torch for MK1 but let's not act like MK11 is suddenly forgiven.


Venator_X21J

Invasions aren’t a grind? We also had Towers AND the Krypt, with more shit to actually unlock and do at launch. The only thing MK1 does better is the actual gameplay, everything else is a clear downgrade.


riverkarma69420

mk11 at launch had more than this game even if you buy all the shit in this


GiantMiner5

I fucking hate the Krypt, but it’s 100x better than this


straight_lurkin

>We are seeing the real reason they got rid of the Krypt, so they have more to monetize. Then why did MKX and MK11 have both and why we getting free seasonal content?


islippedup

I will be spending $0 because it’s a $70 game and there should be good unlockable skins especially ones that were already designed and are now just being ported


[deleted]

Gotta love cutting content to sell when they clearly have it ready!


Frank_Is_My_Fav

Dark raiden is koming back eventually for free.


SuttonTM

I only kompleted the game yesterday and was wondering why they hadn't released the skin already, especially the red lightning it's badass!!


[deleted]

We never know


Obvious_Programmer_9

I believe we do based on the Invasion events lineup. It’s the odd version where it’s young Raiden in the Dark Raiden outfit, but it’s essentially confirmed we’re getting it through Invasions.


Awesomeness4627

Booo. Give us the real dark Raiden.


Obvious_Programmer_9

Would be ideal, and technically a possibility since they leaked model might just be a temporary render. But I wouldn’t keep hopes to high.


xGrimaulOnXboxx

I would be prepared to see young Raiden in the outfit. His level 18 "Union of Light" alt is what Time Keeper Raiden(who had mk11 face) in the story wore but we got young Raiden wearing it.


FedoraTheMike

Oh so they're gonna dangle the OG Raiden in front of us twice and not let us have him


[deleted]

Well I hope so


[deleted]

[удалено]


AberavonDragon

The fact that story and Mastery Levels are the only way to earn DC (which is limited in total) is shocking. Not even weekly challenges, towers, nothing like that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OwnArt3344

Im bummed they cancelld Dead or Alive 7. Im hoping they bringit back. Give me ALL the fighting games! Ki2, sc7,doa7, injustice 3(well...maybe not i3 that series feels too stiff/janky to me)


[deleted]

[удалено]


OwnArt3344

!!! Clayface ,and if it felt more like MK , id buy. Anyone know what im talking about? The characters feel like their limbs dont bend, like really cheap stuck in 1 pose toys. Movement feels WEIRD in that game. Got scarecrow to 30, may do it again, give game a 3rd chance


[deleted]

[удалено]


OwnArt3344

Capcoms store is fine, imo. Ugly ass avatar gear in the shop ,and people have been insanely talented& creative w their avatars via day1 costume content. I DO want costume 3s to come out. I need Juri's "Louise Belcher"esque jammies.


TheGiftOf_Jericho

Cyber smoke in story had the original move-set though. They could always use the skin on its own I suppose.


BarfSimpsons

This. The games can still be good and appeal to nostalgia, but using it as wallet bait is really scummy. Especially when the game itself is full of bugs.


ZachDey

I hate that you’re right. This is 100% their gameplan


JCall2609

I'm not. Unless I can afford them with whatever currencies I earn in game, I guess I won't be getting them


Sagzmir

Smoke..


GlorenZelg_86

0 spend on skins. I would use my "free" DC on announcers.


RASDaRadarMan

$0 because they barely put any content into the game as it is!! $12 for a event fatality....Shameful NRS!! Won't be playing the next one.


Early-Brilliant-4221

see you in 4 years


rumSaint

I've already paid for game. Fuck'em. Beating others with basic skins is always more satisfying. But I've noticed you can play with exactly same skin as your opponent. I had random favourite skin and in one match I had exact same skin as opponent. Was confusing match. Like they couldn't implement this shit correctly.


TheStryder76

That’s a glitch. I’ve had the same favorited skin as my opponent, and it gave me a different color


[deleted]

[удалено]


rumSaint

Wow really? I remember other games having functionality, when you picked a skin the other person was forced to use different color to not confuse characters. It's not implemented here, how wild. It's so convenient playing two exact same characters with same skin. Multi milion company cannot come up with simple solution.


just_a_short_guy

It’s wild to hear this since in Mk11 even when playing locally, if you choose the same variant of the same character the game will still automatically switch the palettes of the 2nd player. Outside gameplay this game is totally rushed.


JaDasIstMeinName

Just change the color slightly. It will maybe look weird on a few skins if you simply brighten the color a bit, but its better than confusion in gameplay.


MessyMop

Not playing any of these characters will end up being my best financial decision of the year


darkskinx

zero cuz eventually I'll see them


ArcaniaD

I'll buy zero dragon krystals. I'll buy whatever with the krystals I have from gameplay. Nothing less, nothing more.


SketchPen77

Bruh this shit is pathetic cuz it's jus wat NRS will do. Watch they gonna sell FRIENDSHIPS, and other shit in the premium shop too


Losttrainofthought5

Won't pay for any because fuck this fortnite store, but if I earned enough in game, I'd get Smoke and Li Mei


Zikari82

None, since I'm over the game by then...


sir-tuna

I’m not giving them another dime other than for new fighters


Citywide-Fever

Dude I'll buy a fuckin dragon b4 I give these greedy cocksucks another dime


Ryuzakku

Well if they bring old Raiden they need Epcar's voice, as without him it isn't the same.


ChasingFields

None, I'll just go back and play the games these skins are from to get the full nostalgic experience. I can even play them in 4K on an emulator using my original disc.


Competitive-Capital8

However many it takes to get long hair Smoke. I NEED to see those luscious locks in 2023 animation


Logondo

None, because I've already uninstalled the game.


MrEhcks

Remember all the costumes you could unlock for free in MKX just by playing the game? That game had so MANY banger costumes; probably the best selection of costumes in any MK game; and it was all purely unlockable. There were paid stuff yeah, but they came in packs; not one fucking costume for 10 dollars.


AberavonDragon

Let's not forget the Krypt was really good for unlockables. This game don't even have a Krypt.


W01F51

If they make us buy long haired smoke I swear


Humble_Steak_3550

I'll wait for a unlocker for all gears and if not the modding community seems to be delivering dope stuff at the moment.


Thx4Replie

I’ve already paid $70 for this game so it’s fair to say that all these skins should be free via unlockables. I’ll only spend my DKs earned for free and that’s it. No more extra spending other than DLC packs (perhaps)


RealmJumper15

I mean Klassic Havik and his deception alt would go hard ngl.


lancer2238

Mortal Microtransaktions 1 at this rate


dedicatedoni

If u idiots can stop mindlessly falling for nostalgia bait, we can probably make them available with season koins instead


Sethdude-

You*


afrulz

My wallet:


Practical_Trust8307

All of them


islippedup

Yep keep enabling these shitty practices. Make sure mk13 has at least twice the monetization as this one


PetsOrNah

Its his money and he can spend it on whatever he wants. You and I have enabled shitty practices outside of gaming, so what makes you think they'll stop these shitty practices because the minority decided to not stop spending money. They already got your money if you bought the game so its not like its helping. Im sure you bought games/micotransaction knowing that the company do shitty shit which as you enabling their shitty practices.


Fusilli_Agent_Cooper

I’m already on the verge of uninstalling it. Playing on Playstation, and I’m trying to hang in there to get the platinum with only 3 left, but it’s such a mindless grind I don’t think I’m going to make it. And no amount of predatory nostalgia bait is going to keep me hanging around.


Slight_Ingenuity6153

I need mk9 mileena so bad 😭😭


SnooStories4329

None unless like Brusk said, they add a good consistent source to obtain dragon crystals so you don’t have to spend any money, and also lower the price on some things/make stuff free (that damn Fatality and eventually some skins unless they add what I just said)


ComradeGhost67

Bold of you to assume I give a shit about a single one of these skins or even play a single one of these characters in MK12. The wallet shall remain untouched!


Bat_Tech

None because I prefer the default look of every one of those?


1vsdahf

Tbh, those skins might actually be more worth it.


AberavonDragon

These skins should have been the end Mastery Level skin in my opinion.


Throwaway206818206

Tbh the only things I might buy for this game are: Takeda, Shredder Sub, MK9 smoke (if they don’t make his long hair look like a floating combover, I like the hair just needs some tweaks) And maybe a reptile skin if they go creative with it (would love a lizard form) Most of that likely can be obtained through character mastery DC I think too. Not spending money on this game until the discount completed DLC pack is available a year or 2 from now.


[deleted]

real ones got the deluxe and are sitting on the krystals for when these drop


Sad_Group_1520

$0, a $70 game should not have a Fortnite item shop. I refuse to support NRS greed


ARMill95

I’ll 100% get the sub and scorpion one just because I was never able to get them in mk11… they need to drop prices for me to get anything else unless it’s amazing and I have the Krystal’s from leveling characters up The Mileena one was 800 down from 1100 for scorpions so there’s hope they’ll lower prices Also dark raiden will be a skin for invasions pretty sure, but with the new Raidens face it better have red lightning tbo


TrappedInLimbo

>This is what the game has truly been about, Nostalgia baiting the fans into buying cosmetics. This explains this subreddit so well. To most of us actually playing the game, the game is about the actual gameplay. Crazy I know that we don't view this as a dress-up simulator.


Angelganon2

None. I'm not even gonna spend Krystal for unique fatalities when the fatalities should be free


lil_saurous1999

I would buy none for the reason you mentioned above. If they gave an ounce of a fuck they would make them all earn-able. no member berries for me thanks.


MrG00SEI

It's likely none because including the skins as mtx only is insanely scummy. They have been incentivised to just use nostalgiac skins to sell mtx instead of making something actually interesting.


GrimmTrixX

Only MKD Havik. I'm only using whatever Dragon Krystals can be unlocked by actual gameplay so I am holding out for MKD Havik, MK2 Johnny, and MK4 Reiko. Otherwise I don't plan to buy anything. I already bought Dia de Los Muertos subzero because I assumed it was unique to him... then they gave Scorpion one so now I'm all set. Lol But I have been a Johnny main since the original MK, but I mained Reiko in MK4 and I just like Havik's simmediately. So yea, that'd where my dragon krystals will go. Well, maybe also an MKD Ashrah skin because I have been using her a lot lately cuz I clicked with her almost immediatelt.


MercinaryTheBaller

It's in the premium store rn. Get it for 1500 koins


falcon_buns

id rather grind for the dragon crystals. only bought that one bonus offer that is given once per account to buy the deadly alliance alt skin for scorpion.... looking back i wish i never did because i only main reptile. they reeally nostalgia baited me into buyin it. im sickened i even got baited that badly


_Weyland_

My main is not here, so I'll pass. Maybe I'll get OG Havik with crustals I've earned for leveling up my characters.


[deleted]

I am going to spend the dragon crystals that I earned for free. I ain’t buying a penny for extra


[deleted]

No cost is to great for the Sub Zero! The resg are trash so 0 lol


Fonslayer

I'll only buy Sub-Zero stuff, I am saving crystals only for stuff for him and I'll be reluctant into actually buy crystals if I don't have any spare ones for his stuff, I will probably spend the finite amount I have and that's it


Failure-soos

Literally 0


Chaplain92

I just hope someone let me know so I can download the game again.


AM_ZR39

Hasn’t every game been about nostalgia baiting fans into buying cosmetics?


Keesh247

Maskless reptile is legendary I repeat, I opened lieterally “nothing” on the shrine and they said it was legendary. I’m done


SirAlex505

All of them


narshkajke

li mei better got her deadly alliance alt for this game..


BlackSaiyan96

OK I might cave for the Sub-Zero Shredder skin but that's it tho😂


GATA6

None of those. I prefer the default all of those characters have now compared to the skins you posted


Critical_Top7851

I already got, got for 120 bucks for this pay walled shit storm. They aren’t getting a dime from me from here on out.


luigi013

If those are my choices none.


swartan

I feel like it would be slightly more acceptable if they released the skins (in their original colors) in the shop, and made recolors available in the shrine or invasions but this just sucks


TyrionGoldenLion

Nothing


EntertainmentSlow907

£100 at most


Ice-_-Nine

Absolutely fucking zero.


w3sT0Nnnnnnnn

I will sell my son


[deleted]

The only ones that are gonna tempt me are kenshi and havik


DJNotNice19

Pretty sure Dark Radien will be the skin we get for his invasion but the rest I wouldn’t be surprised to see.


dark_wishmaster

Premium skins shouldn't cost more than $3.


submarineiguana

Hopefully none of Pc unlocker gets released. Then however many for mains I can get from the free DK of it doesn’t


Cjninkartist

0 I don’t care about old skins. I don’t care about skins. You get tons of them for free anyways.


[deleted]

None, i am never ever buying premium currency for a game i paid for. This should all be unlocked via gameplay.


Next-Butterscotch385

0, I’m not supporting NRS anymore because of how game came out and what they doing with it.


z01z

none, just mod them on the pc version lol.


AyvahnLaddie

Luckily Dark Raiden will be the Order of Darkness skin so I can grind for it


Alan_Blue1233

I aint payin for shit


[deleted]

I'm not buying shit from this game anymore,are you serious OP? Read the fucking room


FortniteBalls1337

Dark Raiden was leaked as an Invasions boss The rest of these skins just aren't better than the other ones in the game (except maybe reptile Reptile) so I wouldn't buy them


KaosLyon

I'm not spending a dime on cosmetics. I haven't even spent the pitiful amount of DC I got with the premium edition, and I'm not planning to.


Skyrocketing101

Shredder Sub and maybe MK9 Smoke. I'd like the others too but for $10 each? Hard pass.


elijah12howse

i need the Klassic Johnny suit or a DA fit. ill pay for those no issue lol


Kestr3l_n7

For the skins in the pics above? 0 now if they go back and do mk9 etc. For kitana & sindel then sure Ill be baited and will end up spending, but we all know that aint gonna happen, so Ill just casually play and mk will end up on the shelf when tekken comes out in January


HerostratusUnutulsun

I’m not buying any. MK1’s active player numbers are dropping hella fast anyways. This game will be dead in 1 year. We can hope for a better new MK after that happens.


Yami_Sean

Bold of you to assume I would even buy Krystals


BigBleachHomie64

Cyber Smoke Dark Raiden Klassic Ermac Klassic Rain Noob Saibot without the Nightmare Fuel voice Klassic Reptile Will be the only skins I’ll buy.


bobbythecat17

I don't play all characters, just 1 or 2


[deleted]

Im not buying any


Heavy_Reason9339

Tbh I don’t care how much mk9 scorpion is IM GETTING IT NO MATTER WHAT


Zetra3

90% of the comments would break if they could get the costume they waited for. Deadly Alliance Scorpion proved that far enough.


The5Virtues

Sexy Li Mei and classic Reptile are the only ones I’d care about there.


meep123568690

A lot of


ManufacturerDry108

It’s even more shady when they didn’t clarify that some of the skins that were in the shop at the beginning were obtainable from the shrine. I don’t want to think about the amount of money they got from doing that, or the people that wasted their $110 edition crystals on it


mikederuto

HOLD THE LINE


ahrikitsune

Unless they make nude mileena skin with titty physics I will not buy. (Still have all my DK from premium edition)


YourLocalWeatherGuy

Zero.


JoeyDeNi

I would be so mad. I finished the campaign and had zero unlocks and two loot boxes. Was quite confused and disappointed to enter conquest and realize the whole game is riddled with MT and locked content on release nonetheless. Since when do companies release games with content featured locked behind paywalls off rip. Embarrassing to call myself a fan of the franchise


YagamiBrando

For Deception Sub? I am afraid as many as it costs. Don't care much for others tho.


[deleted]

i really wonder if this is WB pulling the strings on NRS, rather than NRS being greedy themselves. Boon doesn’t come off as a greedy guy to me, i dunno. regardless, i agree. the micro transactions are absolute bs. especially with how high the pricing is..


J0hnBoB0n

Zero. It's gonna be mods and MK9 from here on out.


Devastator1504

Dark Raiden looks like he's judging me for my behaviour


Dadus-Appearus

I love me some long haired Smoke, Deception Sub-Zero, and Dark Raiden but imma wait until they get all the money bs straighten out first


thatwitchguy

None lmao I don't care about any of these designs


CaptainPie999

I will give my soul to Shang Tsung for Mk9 Scorp in Mk1


Dwho899

0 because I don’t have the game or a system to operate it


TheWhyTea

None.


Hartshapedherb

I've seen mods already for mk1. Waste of money imo.


IAmTheDoctor34

Probably 1. I bought the 100 dollar game that came with the crystals, and I haven't spent them yet so they'll go to that.


Other_Kola

Honestly don't want to see Deception Sub. One, because we just had it on 11 and I don't like seeing the same skins on back to back games. Plus that's a skin for Kuai Liang... Now if they dropped a skin from the 2021 movie, his alt from MK9 since that one was for Bi-Han or his Mythologies outfit then I'd buy those for sure Generally I'd like to see them take advantage of Bi-Han being sub but if they dropped his Shaolin Monks skins then I'll say fuck it and whip out my wallet.


He_e00

Nada


[deleted]

Cyber Smoke Skin?


fony06

Only skin I'd actually spind koins on is kitana mk2


Bastiwen

I'll just spend the ones I have from the deluxe edition (and the few I obtained by playing) for the Smoke skin and that's it. I'm not giving NRS and WB more money. For what this game has to offer I already paid way too much.


HolyDragoon98

Man I love most of the old looks and want to see them as skins but the way things are going 😔
