Well I am now considering purchasing that Krypt thing to unlock everything. I can't handle jump scares for the life of me. The wolf one and the spiders absolutely terrified me and kept me on edge the rest of the night.

So, any bets on which of the arcade ending events end up as canonical/semi-canonical going forward? I'm going with {Spoiler} - Raiden's was obvious from the story mode - Jax's/Sonya's which ends in Jax's death - Takeda/Kenshi freeing Taven to take out Daegon - Shang Tsung's revival and ripping souls from Ermac - Liu Kang taking over Netherrealm (with Kitana at his side) - Reptile finding more of his kind on Earthrealm

{Spoiler}I do have a friend of mine who wants Mileena's to be semi-canon.

So Smoke is in Takeda's Fatality. I do hope he makes DLC.

In past games, the endings would tend to be contradictory, but most of these don't seem to contradict each other, so it's possible they could ALL be canon. But if I had to guess....(tons of spoilers) {Spoiler}Kotal Kahn's ending has Raiden invading Outworld, and the Elder Gods instating a Mortal Kombat tournament with Outworld's wellbeing in the balance. I think it'd be neat if MK11 was the champions of Earth having to ally with Kahn's Outworld forces to win the tournament form Dark Raiden, Liu Kang, Kitana and the Netherrealm, with Kahn threatening a Raptor invasion of Earth led by Reptile if they don't help.
I also really dig Kung Jin/Kung Lao's endings, where Kung Lao fights off the Revenant possession through his Shaolin training and becomes a spirit of vengeance much like Scorpion.
And of course, Takeda/Kenshi had their endings hint at the Armageddon storyline taking place, which would make sense as the next one. Deadly Alliance can't happen with Quan Chi and Shang Tsung dead, and Deception can't happen as Cassie kills Shujinko in her ending, and the Kamidogu are treated differently as seen in the MKX comic.

{Spoiler}I do have a friend of mine who wants Mileena's to be semi-canon. {Spoiler}Honestly, I forgot about hers, hers very well could be, at least as an excuse to show why she's still around even though she died in story mode. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I do have a friend of mine who wants Mileena's to be semi-canon.

Yeah, that's one of the interesting things baout the arcade endings this time around. Aside from the necessary "X beats Shinnok" only a few would actually prevent others from happening. {Spoiler}That said, I still don't think we see anything from Quan Chi, Scorpion, D'Vorah, or Ferra/Torr's endings comein. I also don't think we'll see Kotal re-establishing Mortal Kombat to defend against Raiden. I also don't think we see Cassie kill Shujinko in the story mode. And obviously Jax's ending directly clashes with Erron Black's ending.

So, after taking my time with it I finished up the story mode earlier on this evening. An absolute joy to play from start to finish and i'm sad it's over. I've got some thoughts concerning the final part though, so please don't click if you've yet to play and don't want to be spoilt. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}1)Was anyone else surprised when Cassie Cage's chapter ended up being the final one? It was a very cool thing to happen as this establishes her as a very strong character and an important part of the history of the Mortal Kombat Universe, it just caught me off guard.
2)Who else found Corrupted Shinnok very easy to beat? I beat him in my 2nd attempt and that final chapter was my first time ever playing with Cassie Cage too.
To compare to the boss of the last game, I remember the first time I took on Shao Kahn in the final fight of the MK 9 story it took me an incredibly long time to finally beat him.
Maybe I just got lucky?
3)I loved the twist with Raiden during the end credits, an evil Raiden sets up many cool possibilities for the next game. With the online play i'm currently alternating between Scorpion and Takeda as Takeda seems to be the new character I've taken to the most so far. Scorpion is my go to guy if I want to give myself a good shot at getting the win as i'm pretty good with him. So far my success with Takeda has been mixed, but even in defeat i'm still able to give most opponents a very close match when using him, so he's certainly a character i'm going to stick with and try and get better at before I consider moving onto one of the other new characters.

So sad Smoke is not Playable Hopefully he makes DLC. Makes me wonder if there'll be mods that would make it possible if only as a skin. If the 3D model is there, it must be possible to extract it and rig it to another character's moves, right? Welp give it to PC Modders they are a resourceful bunch: linkMortal Kombat X Players Figure Out How To Use Unplayable CharactersI won't quote the rest of the story in the interest of spoilers. But some of the character cameos in the story mode apparently can be made playable.

I dont see the after credits as a heel turn per say. He pretty much laid the law down that if you mess with Earthrealm, we're taking you out no questions asked.

But I don't think the guest characters during story mode even had variations, so I don't see why they would.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} I kinda suspected it was coming towards the end of the mode, when I remembered Johnny speaking about when he had the green glow and being able to take Shinnok's attack to protect a loved one (Sonya). Good story mode, with a fabulous ending though!

Probably just an anti-hero turn, if anything. Which was sorta how he was in Deception as well, if I recall. Raiden was still good in the sense that he was still fighting for Earthrealm, just far more willing to kill people who f***ed up or threatened Earth.

On the Xbox One version I've noticed that I'm experiencing some minor slowdown in some fights that lasts for about 1 or 2 seconds, this is during offline play. It's not happening very often and it's not a big deal when it does, I'm just curious whether others are also experiencing this now and again?
