MKX has microtransactions for easy fatalaties

So they're basically selling Easy Mode as DLC?

Okay, I need to know from people who have this game, how is it?
I had a blast playing Mk9 so how does this compare? Is the online any good?

I know there are couple of youtube reviews out there but I've read reviews that say it's not that great.

I own a PS4.

This has to be the silliest DLC controversy yet. Someone wants to pay money to easily trigger an animation that has absolutely no effect on gameplay? Fine by me. It's not like the fatalities are all that hard, and even if they were, they don't have any gameplay effect beyond a cosmetic one.

You could argue that it's not in keeping with the legacy of Mortal Kombat. You'd be right, but honestly...who cares?

There are plenty of shady DLC practices out there that are worth grabbing your pitchforks and going after developers. This one...well, this one isn't one of those. This is just a stupid DLC idea that no one with any sense is going to buy. It can be safely ignored.

I completely agree. This is completely straightforward. There's no deception going on, you get exactly what's on the label. It's completely optional, there are no in-game benefits for doing so or penalties for not doing so. It is labeled as a finite supply of tokens.

Getting upset because someone bought something you think is stupid and useless is bizarre and confusing to me. Nobody is being tricked here. There are no problems here unless you actually make up stupid hypothetical future problems.

but they have horrendous DLC plans by witholding characters to be released soon after the game is and this just adds another straw to that annoyance. I know MK has always traded on style and content over solid gameplay especially before 9 and X but this while innofensive on its own could set a worrying trend if very successful as it stands tho I dont care about this im more annoyed by the `optional` characters being witheld.

Yeah, for having very obvious disc-locked characters that are (or clearly will be) DLC, all the buzz seems to be on the easy fatality cosmetic frippery. There's what? 5 or 6 guys who have full movesets that you fight in story mode that are locked out.
