I mean do you count ermac's age from the moment he was created or from how old their souls are?

Ermac is a collection of old souls currently residing in an artificial body,

So do we add all their ages together and then divide by the number of souls?

This is an outrage against Luminara!

I mean, while I'm happy Kira and Kobra are involved... it feels hollow because they don't appear, have any lines, or...

...oh yikes so that's why Ghostface can do those cannonball moves.

Well at least it would've been cooler if they played some role beyond being functions, but oh well.

Allegedly Khaos Reigns is undeperforming and WB might have cancelled any future DLC plans for MK 1

Thankfully, all of the wrong lessons will be learned from this.

Still, I liked this alternative universe. It would be a shame if they rebooted things again. They really tried to do too much in one game and maybe should have paced things out into 2 or 3.

Who could've foreseen seeing Havik shouting anarchy for 2 hours while doing boring crap wasn't a crowd pleaser.

Not to mention doubling down on Bi-Han's Adaptational Villainy, something that had already been proven to be divisive at best.

Keep in mind Khaos Reigns includes the dlc packs so I guess Peacemaker, Omni-Man, and Homelander didn't bring in the sales they wanted.

Which not really undeserved the guest stars in these games have gotten out of control.

I dunno, with how heavily they got advertised NRS would have to be stupid to just cancel Conan and Robert Patrick. Which means its still heavily likely nonetheless. I can think of so many reasons why Khaos Reigns went to shit and pretty much ended MK 12's life cycle.

Plus side is though, certain programs might get off the ground now.

Am I surprised

Not Really

Khaos Reigns was really lackluster as a story expansion

and from What i hear The tried and true Guest character factor isn't really working out in MK 1's favor either

"sorry Ed We just don't care about the characters you thought would have been cool 20 years ago"

That and it feels like half of em are Missed the boat picks

And I can't imagine it was cheap to get the licenses for those either, or even to pay the likes of John Cena, JK Simmons and potentially Robert Patrick to reprise their roles. Let alone Megan Fox. Ed Boon wanted his celebrities so bad and look how it turned out.

Does this mean MK itself is once again teeting on the edge? What is this, the third time now? Imagine if they remastered Deadly Alliance and THAT ended up saving the series again.

It doesn't help that the DLC packs are so overpriced. Khaos Reigns costs $50 and that's just absurd. For a campaign that's over in a couple hours and six characters, who haven't even all released, it's just not worth it.

To be clear, t-1000 and Conan are coming out, they arent cancelled

It's anything after that.

Yeah. Khaos Reigns costs far too much for what's an anemic load of rubbish. Characters that feel half baked, yet more guests nobody asked for and is turning MK into a flatout joke and a story mode that can barely even be called "short." Titan Havik was utterly wasted. All that build up and he's so generic its painful. Right after Shang Tsung entertained us, too.

It didn't help that the first DLC was pretty much Characters in the Base game we didn't have time to finish ' Quan Chi/ Ermac' and Takeda

Hell there was proof enough that Ermac and Quan were gonna be base roster. i'm gonna say greed played a part in that.

Basically at this point is Triple a gaming needs a crash to knock some sense into the Business

of course the problem with that is most of the big wigs don't really care about the product they just want a $$$ generator

The problem with "The industry needs a crash" is the big wigs like Zaslav arent the ones who are gonna suffer from it. It's the devs working paycheck to paycheck, contract to contract who will find themselves with no employment.
