Feel that contempt - that UTTER contempt. Reminder MK11 shills were saying you could get sexy equipment items for your characters, and now they've resorted to saying "WELL MK FANS ARE SECRETLY GAYS AND DON'T LIKE TITTIES"
>more mature and respectful Reminder that it's a game about punching people in the dick and doing heart signs in their wounds. It's also so mature that it spells combat with a K >You’re not going to be showing so much skin Real life fighters tend to wear very little due to the fact that clothing restricts movement, all you have to do is type in womens UFC into google for many examples and to further add to the ridiculousness of this comment their own comic depicted this

Isaiah Nguyen
>outrage marketing
Can anyone explain to me how former fans hating a game translates to sales? Because it doesn't seem intuitive.
Chase Ortiz
Literally no backbone or balls.
Wyatt Ortiz
Because they think that shitting on old fans will get them the shiny new audience they feel they so rightly deserve, the audience made up of people who hate video games and people who play them.
Thomas Collins
i get that sex is not all, and one plays mk for the gore, but this. is. RETARDED!
if LOL ESPORTS is the problem, then the custom variation system already fixed dat shit, theres no reason for them to not allow sexy costumes for personal use in homes or online, and the fact that Ed Boon is the one saying this, basically BETRAYING his original view of the series is simply unheard of!
Sebastian Anderson
MK will never be respected same with DoA no matter who hard you hide the shadows of your past will forever loom over your future
>Seething because less fanservice, tits, boobs and ways to have porn of probably the characters that deserve least porn because of their violent series
William Carter
This, may as well accept it full force and cater to the fans that actually enjoy your work instead of chasing this retarded unicorn of "well they only hate video games because they haven't played mine".

There is no thread on this on Mortal Kombat subreddit. Are they deleting them?
Gavin Edwards

Alexander Sullivan
Am I supposed to care? Flesh Pit Mileena was literal LCD garbage.
really that is not sexy, and Sonya's gym suit from Mk1 wasnt sexy either.
Mk3 was a bit more on the sexy side, but not to be fap worthy.
Nathan Jackson
Looks better than classic models.

I don't understand why people are so upset by this change. The tits NEVER looked good anyway, and if you think so, you are a FUCKING LOSER. They were always tacky. Go play fucking DoA if you're pathetic enough to need pixel titty in every facet of your life.
There are girls in my gym with more boobs and muscles than this boy
Adam Howard
>you are a FUCKING LOSER. They were always tacky. Go play fucking DoA if you're pathetic enough to need pixel titty in every facet of your life. Oh no, boobs! Womeb with big boobs dont exist and they should die!
Thomas Walker
No, no mk fan cares about it. It only DoA fans masquerading as mk fans making a piss fit over it.
All because their game is being shit on by the whole world. DoA fans prefers fetish barbie dress up gatcha to their own fighter.
Not even almost what I said. I like tits, but I'm not starved of them, because I'm not an inept fucking retard.
Brandon Ortiz
That’s why SCVI is dead right?
Wyatt Adams

Aiden Mitchell
What happened to Jacqui boobs? A lot of black women have that size though? Maybe they prefer underdeveloped bodies? Sonya's body is closer to a boy's body than to a strong woman
Logan Nguyen
Do you actually, seriously think someone is going to buy Mortal Kombat to show up heterosexuals?
Do you think those people outnumber the heterosexuals who drop the game because it's less interesting to them now?
Joseph Rivera
MK reddit is shit memes 24/7 with maybe one dead thread about gameplay. It's somehow worse than TYM.
Nathan Cox
>I don't understand why people are so upset by this change. Remember when MK used to make fun of puritans critisizing it by making Babalities in the game, instead of caving into them? Those were good times. Shirtless dudes and women fighting with heels is not realistic in the slightest so its a bullshit excuse.
Isaac Martinez
You're shouting into a riot user. The games been co-opted by the horny and lonely incel movement so all you're going to see is a circle jerk of the same counter arguments the next week or so. Reminder to filter everything Mortal Kombat and Woman

Thomas Gutierrez
I want to see the men covered up as well. They make me feel insecu-*cough* i mean it's misandrist and objectifying. Also, why are they all hunks? They should be less beefy and more skinny. It's an unrealistic standard and, again, misandrist.
The supposedly "edgy" game found boobs too problematic and covered the women in burgas, with a bullshit excuse that its somehow "realistic".

Zachary Phillips
It’s there game, let them do what they want with it. Maybe they just genuinely want their female characters to look cooler.
James Wilson
And it's also expensive as fuck. $90 in Canada. Spending that much for a video game at the base level is fucked up.
Ayden Collins
Really. All men should be out-of-shape unattractive slobs in baggy T-shirts. Just apply the same standard.

Luke Myers
This, they're objectifying and that is simply wrong in this day and age. Cover those men up.
Yeeeeah, see. The difference is gamers are addicts and they need their fix. That's why DLC is so lucrative. That's why mtx make so much money. No matter what you read on forums, gamers talk a big game, but are mostly pathetic, thrill-addicted tools...mostly. Worst (or best) consumers in any market, besides actual gambling.
Michael Sanchez
>All the dudes are bare chested >Meanwhile all the girls are covered up >This is being "respectful" Why are woman such delicate flowers?
Obnoxious hypocrisy. It's a fucking trashy gore game. There never has been and never will be anything sophisticated or respectable about it. It's on the same level of entertainment as fucking 80s slasher flicks and now they're acting like titties are too juvenile for them. Absolutely retarded.
A long, long time ago, before most of you fuckers were even floating around in your fathers sacks, Ed Boon pissed of the entire country so much that they wanted to ban video games. Mortal Kombat was on the news for months because the violence was so unheard of in vidya, so gratuitous, and so plainly targeted at a younger audience. But he stuck to his guns and said fuck you, video games are supposed to be crazy and over the top, and you aren't in a position to tell us, the creators, how o make them, or what people can buy with their money. I really thought he was cool at one point, the man who stuck up for the rights of the people who made and loved video games. Now, he's a hypocritical, corporate-minded piece of shit who will do whatever his marketing team thinks will help him get the most brownie points with people who couldn't even beat arcade mode on easy. He'll gladly pander to fags and trannies, especially since one of the biggest names who will carry his games tournaments is exactly that kind of scum.
I haven't liked or played MK since deadly alliance, but it's still a sad day for fighting games when Ed fucking Boon betrays everyone who ever believed in his games and creative freedom.
This is just retarded. Like 0.01% of people play games for sex. Call of Duty, Fifa, Halo, Assassin's Creed, Mario, Zelda, Gears, ect... all of the best selling games don't involve half nude girls.
If people bought games for tits DoA and Soul Caliber wouldn't be nearly dead niche titles omly bought by pedos.
What are you, one of those Amish kids that are allowed to be in the real world for a period of time and this is your first time seeing a woman who isn't covered from head to toe?
Noah Wilson
>the fanservice game that was only on Steam for ONE DAY, wasn't advertised at all and wasn't even supposed to be downloadable in the west immediately got massively more popular than KT's attempt at a "more respectable, serious" fighting game
If I was a KT CEO I'd be (thinking) really hard about what this means.
Andrew King
Thing is, devs can still do that. What're people gonna do about it? kek. But they don't stand their ground, because gaming is a billion dollar industry now. Big money means selling out and appealing to whatever is popular. Social media compounds the issue even more.
Carter Perry
this!
FRIENDSHIPS and Babalities were made by Boon (so to speak) as a way to stick it to the government on the case of the games gore. and now you are saying that the guy who said once 'Here's your child friendly content! happy you Puritan imbeciles?' is now cowering in fear of a bunch of idiots with NO actual power in comparison to the FUCKING GOVERNMENT just because they are loud?
no, i dont buy it! NO ONE WOULD BUY IT!
Eli Miller

Wyatt Williams

>Thing is, devs can still do that. What're people gonna do about it? Pirate the game out of spite.
Henry Butler
Big tits are more realistic, and easier to achieve genetically than a man over 6 feet being more cut naturally than body builders that take enhancements. let alone the 8 feet monstrosity that is Shao Khan. This is a move for identity politics, pure and simple. Maybe once he deflates the men down to natty terrirorty, stops having most of them being shirtless, and stops having Asian men being taller than 99% of every Asian man who has ever lived, we'd buy the "i-it's for realism bro!".
Brandon Young
Not even going to pirate it.
Samuel Green
Ed Boon is uncomfortable with his team but you can't say no to a tranny
Aiden Nguyen
>All the dudes are bare chested >Meanwhile all the girls are covered up >This is being "respectful" Why are woman such delicate flowers? So woman being objectified ad sexual objects is wrong but men it's fine? If a dude complains about being objectified they're a fucking faggot but with girls we have to just bend to their will and cover up woman? This is equality?
I dislike the idea of no more sexy outfits, but I do hope to never see again a character costume like this I've from Mileena, as it is an abomination, easily her worst ever, and has absolutely zero sex appeal
Nicholas Price
by Allah it is permissible to kick a women's skull from her spine if she dresses immodestly.

Isaiah Long
This is funny because you seem to believe that this whole push for being more PC is meant for outrage when its just meant to please Advertisers.
Its even funnier because you dont understand how engineered consent works and how you and the whole left have been essentially manipulated by those evil corporations you hate so much to push their opinions as your own.
Corps want everything to be as non-edgy bland grey sludge so attract more money from other corps for advertising their products. Big pharma wants to sell you those tasty, cheap to make but otherweise completely useless hormone pills and antibiotics so they have advertised this shit to you as a lifestyle, you goon.
Really though. Mortal Kombat is the worst franchise you could have picked to promote "better representation of women."
I mean, all those women are gonna be rushing to see fully clothed women getting the shit kicked out them and then violently murdered on screen. Because when I think feminism, I think violence towards women.
David Wright
>This is just retarded. Like 0.01% of people play games for sex.
No, the retard is you, because you're thinking of people who _exclusively_ buy it for sex, instead of all the people for whom it's one more thing in the pile of several things they like, which are a huge majority of people since a huge majority of people are heteros.
>but if you like other things why would you drop the game because of just one thing being removed Because literally millions of different entertainment products (not just games, but TV shows, comics, movies, music, etc.) are all competing for my money and attention at the same time and it really does not take much at all to move one of them from the "yes" pile to the "no" pile. Typically if I see one thing I dislike, I drop the thing because that's all that's needed. Just one show of weakness.
Christian Davis

Jackson Robinson
>Mature and respectful >In a game about being as disrespectful to your opponent's corpse as possible
This move isn't making the game more inclusive you nitwits, its cutting off more and more of the target audience. It used to be "edgy people who enjoyed blood sex and violence" and now its "edgy people who enjoy gratuitous violence but are strongly averse to seeing a tiddy". This means the straight edge crew. And you NEVER want to court the straight edge crew as your main demographic. They WILL curtail your creative freedom more so than you are doing to yourself now.

Man, I bought a copy of Mortal Kombat 9 through this whole debacle just because of the lunacy presented during this game development cycle. What a lousy state for the franchise to be in right now. There are few medias more stifling than the American one right now.
>clearly, we are being realistic and making them wear clothing that makes sense for a fight >*points to UFC fighters barely wearing clothing* >FUCK YOU MISOGYNISTIC WHITE MALE MONSTERS FUCK YOU

I have a feeling if it weren't for the feminist shit, less people would be mad about this. Like it only became an issue when people saw this as a big fucking deal in a culture war.

Parker Wood

Henry Davis
>MK11 will sale better than DoA and SC combined.
This is a disingenuous argument because while it's probably true, it's only because the reputation of the franchise will carry it. And that reputation was built by doing the exact opposite of what they're doing now. Mortal Kombat has literally never been about being "respectful" and has aggressively been opposite of that, provocative to the point that they tried to make it illegal. That reputation will take a hit when people see MK11 for what it is, and the whole franchise that comes after it will pay for it.

Justin Parker
>They want that E-Sports Advertiser money. Not with the face-ripping gore they wont. E-sports is for preteens.

But guys, men being shirtless is a male power fantasy alone. No one on Earth is attracted to the body of a man. That body type is just the default male body
Grayson Cooper
JC I'll agree with you but Jax looked fantastic, his MK11 look is way too soft and round.
Nolan Stewart
Also I like how you went for two minor games instead of something like Street Fighter, which also very much sells on sex these days. Cowardly much?
Henry Moore
Majority of MK forums agree the reasoning is fucking stupid because of the shirtless guys but otherwise they don't complain about the change.
Gavin Kelly
>This is just retarded. Like 0.01% of people play games for sex.
Imagine being so underage that you never heard of the phrase "SEX SELLS".
Why is it OK for male characters to be properly dressed for battle but women fighters must be scantily clad or else people lose their shit? Why that difference?
It matters to literally everybody who has heard of Mortal Kombat but go ahead and pretend it doesn't.
Christopher Rodriguez
Jesus I’m pretty sure gory fatalities that make the general audience go “woaaah gross” is what has made MK as a franchise grow. Fucking Yea Forums dweebs putting so much importance to digital tits and where there sleeve cutoff is. Everyone is gonna love Mk11 and you’ll just be bitter
Carter Richardson

1. They're not you retard. Half of them are shirtless and don't give me that BS that's properly dressed for men but not for women. 2. We're 99% heterosexual men in here, so obviously we care about female sexiness more than male sexiness.
Andrew Long

Kayden Anderson
Yes. That is literally the SJW argument. The exact same game magically stops being good if you have any erotic female characters in it. Erotic male characters are okay because most SJWs are closet fags.
Eli Cooper
Right, the sexuality isn't completely removed from it. Despite toning down the sexiness from the comics, the mainstream Marvel movies are making more now than they were before. Star Wars may have slave Leia, but it was a success before that and isn't really defined by that. Sex sells, but too much of it and you're out of the mainstream.
Colton Allen

Colton Turner
Why is not OK to have scantily clad sexy women in a game? Do you have a problem with sexy women? Are you sexist? Especially in a franchise that always had them.
>Why that difference? Why is it okay to be mad if there are sexy scantily clad woman in a game but not when they are removed and the Dev tells the mostly male target-audience to fuck off? Why are you okay with censorship under the guise of political correctness?
Xavier Diaz

So, if you're not consuming your weight in sexualized media you're going to turn gay and civilization will collapse?
You're still not explaining why women must be dressed scantily clad but men are OK to be properly prepared and dressed for battle.
Nathan Wright
Men are wearing loincloths for battle and little else. Realistic women in army gear fits games like Metro, it doesn't fit Mortal Kombat.
Brandon Thomas
No, its just SJWs being SJWs.
Gavin Perry
How about learning to digest a single piece of media without allowing your porn addiction and mental illness to take over?

The censors will not stop until everything fun in the world is reduced to gray sludge. The objective is not to eliminate sex, it is not to eliminate violence, it is to eliminate fun itself because fun is bad.

Meanwhile, in reality:
>“These are quote-unquote video games, and they’re forced down our throats under the guise of protected speech. It’s garbage. It’s the same as pornography.

Brody Flores
Yeah, this realism bullshit again I knew it. archive.fo/Qq6wi Are we trapped in a time loop?

Yes it fucking is. There are ZERO sexy designs left in the game. They got all removed, every fucking last one.

Get fucked you thirsty ass retards. There is a smorgasbord of pornographic material on the internet for free at your fingertips right now, you should make use of it instead of trying to make everything sexualized.
It's so tiresome to be talking about a game and have an army of thirsty dipshits start fap baiting. If you need the characters to be dressed like strippers to enjoy a game you need therapy. Not everything has to be underpinned by libidinal bullshit.

THIS. The media are fucking hypocrites, they don't care if they are hypocrites so long as they have something to complain about. If you are bothered by nudity in games, but are ok with fucking Mortal Kombat fatalities and massive gore then you are a fucking hypocrite that only complains about what goes against your agenda.
Blake Davis
>men are OK to be properly prepared and dressed for battle
None of the men in the game are properly dressed for battle you fucking idiot, they are ALL sexualized. Being shirtless is sexualized. You fucking retard.
Bentley Hill
Both sides of the political spectrum have a beef with sex appeal. But only one political side (the far Left) has completely dominated the video game industry, among many other industries. What we need is more centrism.
Grayson Powell
It's for that massive untapped female gamer and white knight market that this game is going to get.
The only thing I catch from your post was "vidya is 99% heterosexual men so women must be sexy or we riot".
Jayden Murphy
>Why is it OK for male characters to be properly dressed for battle first of all the aren´t in this game, second of all female fighters are already pants on fire retarded so might as well go the extra mile and make them sexy if you already throw out all sense of realism, third of all even if they were dressed probably that doesn´t explain why they all have to be ugly and have the same small breast size
Landon Torres
Be honest, Yea Forums. Are you truly mad they're pandering to retarded SJWs who don't play games or are you mad you don't have something to fap to in a game?
Killing is means to an end in these games. Sexiness is extra. They're there for different reasons.
John Morris
I mean that’s just a flat out lie from preorders alone but okay man you do you. You don’t have to play the video game :)

Excuse me, retard, but the people complaining here aren't trying to "Make MK sexualized". Because MK always was. They don't want a change, instead, they want no change.
Elijah Robinson
Outrage marketing is attempting to piss of your fans so Nu-journalists splatter your name everywhere. Name spouted every two minutes translates to sales. GTA was one of the first games to successfully do this.
Isaac Robinson
i actually like the MkX designs .... suggestive enough and cool looking at the same time ... why didnt they expand more on kitana's MkX design ?it would have been great to see this with better models

Matthew Morgan
Fatalities do not impact the match itself, they happen only after the match is over. Time to get rid of those problematic killings. Gameplay is the only thing that matters, right?
Aaron Powell
>or are you mad you don't have something to fap to in a game? Has anyone over the age of 9 ever actually fapped to anything in a Mortal Kombat game? Like not SFM porn made with modified assets, but actual in game shit?
Cause I highly doubt it. And I'm sure everyone knows this, which is why the whole "You just want to fap" argument makes me feel like this is an "Outrage marketing campaign" and everyone saying it is a paid shill.

That is actually what's happening and if you don't see it all around you you're just not looking.
If I were to ascribe a motive to it, it's probably just spite. Men having fun with women not being in the center of it makes women upset, so they try to tear the whole setup down, consciously or not.

No I only find tits and skin attractive. If I see a women in a form fitting elegant night dress I spit in her face and ask what’s the point and demand she remove her clothes so I can determine if she is breeding worthy because that’s how sexual attraction works.

No the dipshits complaining here are mad they can't fap to a video game. They see a conscious design decision that was clearly made early in development as SJW pandering for the most puerile reasons, and it's fucking pathetic. You can ask any actual fan of the games what their favorite aspects of it are, and none of them are going to say "THE SEXY OUTFITS" you fucking sperg.
If NRS had said something along the lines of "Oh we just decided to do something different with the outfits." none of this indignation would be present, and the only people angry about it are thirsty smooth brained animeposters on this board.

meanwhile in UFC the women fight in underwear. the men also fight in underwear.
If the internet is to be believed, it became a problem when hideous SJW whales with blue hair and other insecure females got mad and started bitching girls in games are too sexy.
it's like the devs behind the latest MK themselves are making up this controversy because violence no longer can be used as a selling point for their games
next MK they'll add rape as a feature ("rapeality!") and then remove it before release claiming "those pesky SJW said we couldn't do it and being the feminists we are we decided to listen to them!"
seriously fuck this dev
fuck off with your fake controversy nobody ever played MK for tits

you are right: NOBODY played MK for the sex.

Personally i don't lose my shit, i just skip the game(and go DoA/SoC/SF5) in the sense that it's not aimed at me which is all good no issues. If you want to know why i have a double standard, it's because you have to suspend your disbelief when you see women beating the shit out of men two times their size. That suspension of disbelief is so fucking huge you can fit bikinis and boob-plate in there for the simple reasons that i don't crave cocks in my mouth and ass.
Hyper violence is the aesthetic people know MK for, MKX toned down the sex appeal similar to 11 and still sold crazy well for a fighting game (5 million copies in 6 months). If it was time for MK “to pay for it”, it would’ve been in 2015 and it clearly didn’t

That would be unironically based and if this was 1997 it might actually happen and people wouldn't freak out too much (they'd freak out a little bit as is appropriate, but not as much as they now freak out about a game having a fit girl in a swimsuit).
Henry Cooper
Why do female athletes wear such tight, form fitting clothes? Surely they can do their physical activities without showing so much skin.

You say that but someone responded saying “that’s sorta exactly what’s going on” so sure they might not technically be a celibate. Actually no people on Yea Forums mad about mk characters not being slutty are def celibate, maybe just not involuntary.

>Thinking about cock when you get excited in a public room.
I think women are fine, but I have a straight gamer friend who brags about sexual exploits who says he finds overly sexual designs insulting to his intelligence. It's like a marketer trying to play mind games on you; even if you like the product, the fact that they think you need something to make the peepee the hard to buy it reduces you to a stupid animal. And yes, we're all animals.
Andrew Ross
'more real'
in a world where ninjas, dragons, gods and demons. where mystical experiments can make women who manipulate blood or create vessels to countlesss souls.
where a movie star can have superpowers or shaolin monks can master magic or people can travel to different dimensions.
no matter how you slice it, theres NOTHING REALISTIC about MK. kitana, Mileena, Jade, Tanya and Skarlet are not human, they come from another world, a world that should not be bound by the logic on our world, and OUR world on mk's context is just as weird.
that is just an excuse to justify something stupid, plain and simple.
>mature and respectful >in a game where you rip the spine out of your enemy at least its still 1v1 and doesn't use the mediocre 3v3 format
Brody Thompson
The worst part is that this will only affect the NEXT game they make saleswise so they won't even realize how stupid they are.
Cooper Smith
But the game is still about people ripping their spines out and cutting others in half? If you are on board of MK for the violence, why do you care how women are dressed? They are still gonna get their spines ripped out and get cut in half.
Oliver Hughes

Nah but men without shirts can appear as more than just shirtless stripper. Where as with the outfits the girls used to have, it’s hard to see anything but slutty stripper. Not to mention when they did dress like that they always did more slutty thing like running their hands along their hips and shit. You ain’t gonna see Johnny Liu or Jax sensually rub their hand down their abs, while yes they are shirtless they aren’t “sexualized” where the girl ninjas before just felt like a fuck doll that also fights

Hunter Rogers
Really, the realism argument is obvious horseshit and needs to be thrown out of the window until they at least remove all X-ray moves from the game. Nothing is less realistic than somebody having his spine and skull shattered and jumping immediately back in the fight as if that's a scratch.

Only Kotal and Woolay were in X. X was their game for fresh faces. I liked some of them but it was obvious they were just there to job in the story. Quan Chi died in story though so that’s why it’s hard to say he’ll be coming back. But this game’s gimmick is just bringing people back just because

No, retard. You could maybe make the argument that people get off to the swimsuit DoA games, but people who "Get off to DoA" get off to SFM porn using the DoA assets. Same with MK. Which none of the new outfits will prevent, and the better faces will in fact help.
Anyone who keeps bringing up the "You just want to fap" argument is certified retarded and really needs to kill themselves.
Ryder Butler
ok smartass prove me wrong
Christian Lewis
It's sad that fighting games are so fucking niche genre that every game has like peak of 10k players at max and then it dries out in the first month the online experience is always trash and soon enough you'll be fighting the same 50 people online until next game rolls out it's only the enthusiasts who keep playing and rest of the normie trash feel like it's too overwhelming to learn the game and after they've mashed 12 hours of the game, they never touch it again
Then there's shit like Fortnite that gathers millions upon millions of people because it's accessible to the most braindead of individuals and somehow manages to keep these cretings playing even when they die 20 games in a row without getting a single kill themselves, being content with just looting cool shit in the beginning while eventually dying a shitty death
It's not fucking fair, I wish fighting games were the top dogs with hundreds of millions of people around the globe playing them

>Our design is just getting more mature and respectful. This sentiment right here is the antithesis of Mortal Kombat. I personally could go either way with having cheesecake in most games, but MK's appeal was always the tongue-in-cheek indulgence in gratuitous violence and sex appeal and this shift in design represents a potentially huge change in the overall tone and feel of the series as a whole. This is what's troubling fans, more so than the lack of skimpy outfits.

I can kill a girl and eat her brain in this game and NRS thinks that that's somehow more adult, mature, and respectful to women than seeing them in a their original MK outfit or bikinis. Just take the females out the game because being in a game where you can brutalize women is the most disrespectful you can get.
Back when I was a kid Mortal Kombat was the definitive "fuck mom, fuck school, fuck society" game. That you skipped those leftist indoctrination centers to blow your lunch money on.
And now it has been reduced to this? "Haha be a mature adult #respectwomen gaming is an inclusive space :)." Surreal stuff.
>Our design is just getting more mature and respectful. Really? The fucking Joke and Gore: The fighting game is suddenly saying that they are being "mature" byt not including bikinis? If they want to be realistic, some of the characters should be walking naked, since having clothes have zero advantage at the level of fighting they are in.

Nicholas Williams
My only issue is the Edenians since it fit their whole Utopia thing. Putting them in more conservative clothing changed their whole cultural aesthetic. If Rain shows up in his MKX look, which I actually liked for this same reason, in gonna be booty blasted.
Most other characters were dressed in Halloween costumes and it looked silly. I'm fine with the overall shift in tone on a large scale, it's just where it conflicts with lore that I get annoyed.
Edenians look so fucking generic, like superhero type costumes. Outworld its a fantasy realm tyhé Conan and this is what they came up with.

>No Bikini Items or Costumes WHAT THE FUCK I've been waiting for bikini bo rai cho for all my life. Fuck this shitty game and fuck those shitty femi-monsters.
Austin Rogers
>Can anyone explain to me how former fans hating a game translates to sales? The same former fans said MKX was going to sell like shit for not being as sexy as MK9 and MKX was the best selling MK game to date
Ayden White
>Can anyone explain to me how former fans hating a game translates to sales? From what i've seen, pissing on old fans of game translates to huge success. Couple of good examples would be WoW and skyrim.
Connor Fisher
Don't forget BOTW
Eli Rogers
This. I don't get it why ripping spines is okay, but showing tits is not.
Robert Hughes
Oh, i probably should've added what i think is the reasoning. When you piss of old fans, they are extremely likely to talk about it everywhere out of frustration. Just like we are doing here now. This is like free marketing that reaches a lot further than some ads.
Juan Price
Good camouflage, Snake.
Brayden Butler
Lol, no one complaining actually plays Mortal Kombat. All the complainers are larpers from DoA. Ya know the fighting game whose player base prefers their barbie dress gacha game over the fighter. Literal pedos.
MK fans come for fighting and violence not pixel tits. These same spergs said MKX would bomb. MKX is the best selling fighter of all time.
Even its biggest competitor SFV couldn't match in 2 years what X sold in 3 months.
>gets impaled 40 times during a fight = ok >wearing a bikini = whoa this is dangerous
SELECTIVE REALISM
John Lee
News fash discord trannies, even when men get married and have sex daily, they still masturbate on the side and enjoy looking at revealing outfits in things like video games. Stop pushing the false dichotomy.
>MKX is the best selling fighter of all time. Not with 5m copies, no. Still extremely strong sales though.
Logan Perry
>make a WW2 game with female soldiers >"Who cares if it's realistic! Fucking nazi gamers! It's a game ffs!" >make a fighting game where every girl wears a burka >"It's all about realism!"
Samuel Ross
Ive played MK for decades and I think the covering up is stupid. You cant just say "oh everyone who disagrees with me doesnt even play it!" Lol.
Tyler Ortiz
>You’re not going to wear a bikini to a fight. Um like real fight like mma or boxing?
Jose Sanders
I don't think that was implied. What's that have to do with vidya?
Liam White
It's almost like different works within the same medium can be thematically different.
Charles Jenkins
Because it's not about realism to these retards. Its about controlling the content of the game.
Samuel Green
To be perfectly fair, the hypocrisy also applies to the other side.
>Progressive game comes out >SJWs buy it to spite the evil white male gamers >Game sells
>Anti SJW game comes out >it always sells like shit
Jaxson Collins
>to be fair, Reddit. >the hypocrisy applies to the other side No, it doesnt
Colton Bell
It's because SJWs infest only the most popular brands. So even if the game is filled to the brim with left-wing politics, shitty decisions, and atrocious designs - it will still sell well because of normies who just buy what they know and what was marketed enough.
Jason Anderson
>MKX is the best selling fighter of all time. Hahahahaha, at 5 million, it has like half the sales of SFIV.
>Man sees someone more attractive than him "He worked hard to be like that, I wish I was him" >Woman sees someone more attractive than her "Fuck her, I hope she dies"
Nathan Parker

Dylan Taylor

Isaac Anderson
>KC >Anti-SJW
Staying true to history is now being anti-sjw?
Henry Sanders
Western game devs dislike you. They're not being forced to censor or add political shit, they legitimately believe the things they slag in their games. Its a hope that they'll get a new audience of enlightened, super kind and accepting people. Even though the enlightened, super kind and accepting people have a history of trying to kill people and driving artists and other creators to suicide.
So retarded blue hair whales want historically set games to have no form of authenticity and for complete fantasy/fiction games to be pulled down by realism? Sounds stupid tbqhf. The truth is they just want their politics to infect everything, and just use a checklist of fake excuses every time.
Actually, yes, because sjws are pro revisionism, anti sjws are against it. Any game that refuses to put identity politics into itself is anti sjw too.
Josiah Bennett
Fuck this game and fuck NRS For the first time in this series since DA i wont be buying this crap Take your censorship politics and shove it where the sun dont shine
The thing I don't understand is why can't we have a middle ground? MK9 looks fucking dumb, only a 12yo find those trannies attractive, and the costumes were terrible. MKX fixed that, the suits are beautiful, well designed with a lot of creativity. Now, on MK11 character look like background NPCs, Jade looks TERRIBLE, she looks like an Outworld merchant NPC
>Reddit Not really >No, it doesnt It applies to literally the exact examples you mentioned >Yea Forums is fine with unrealistic bikini armor >gets butthurt about unrealistic female soldiers
Tyler Edwards
Does ed Boon still think it's the 90s where utter kontemp for your fanbase sells units?
Samuel Morales
women are cocksleeves, that's why
Dominic Gray
