It really is rediculous that they replaced Tricia Helfer (Who is 10 times the actress) with Rousey, it really was just for name value and they havent even took advantage of it when they realised just how wretched her acting is. Maybe they will get Helfer back for the next game now that this little experiment with Rousey came off like a wet fart. To be fair the vast majority of the cast was recast. The only people with the same actor as before are Raiden, Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage, Kotal Kahn, D'Vorah, the announcer, and Erron Black / Shinnok.

I really like Kari Wahlgren as Kitana's voice. As for Rousey being a terrible actress, I'm not surprised given her WWE promos and previous acting experience.

Honestly the funny thing is I still probably find Ronda's non-acting less distracting than how Noob is in this game. At least with Sonya it's just someone who can't act failing to act, Noob is a normally good voice actor for some reason doing a Dr. Claw voice while every single line has enough random babbling about darkness to sound like Xehanort said it.
Really I kind of get the same feeling from Noob in this game that I did from Doctor Fate and Swamp Thing in Injustice 2 - it feels like he's a character they had absolutely no desire to use but felt obligated to throw in due to overwhelming fan demand thus they phoned in his personality and role within the story as much as they possibly could.

Frost's reinvention in this game is awesome from the voice actress to the overall design , she feels like her own proper character and not just sub with boobs.
I would almost say she might be the best female character design wise in the game...but Kitana is waifu and I cannot go against my main.

Also hate to double post, but holy shit, Rousey is terrible. yeah that's what I've found where I'm up to in the story mode (chapter 11/12. cant remember as I stopped playing at 2am this morning.) she just seems to get the mood wrong for the parts she's reading after chapter one. I dont think they'll have her back as sonya for any future games.

Rousey...yeah, doesn't really do it for me as Sonya.
But along the lines of improvement, I like MK11 Cassie better than MKX Cassie, personally.

So apparently on that emergency stream they outright said they didn't have time to actually test Towers of Time before releasing the game.
Yeah, WB seriously needs to start getting called on its shit more.

See, it’s this stuff that needs to be called out on, rather than non-canon arcade endings or the women being in more practical kombat attire.

Is there multiple endings to the story mode? Like good/bad/etc?
Also f*** the T-rex rush summon move.

Though multiple cutscenes play during the middle of the fight that can play out several different ways depending on which rounds you win or lose.

Yeah, hope all are enjoying the game, but decided to wait it out until this towers/krypt stuff works out. I think it's just complete bs when games incorporate these mobile phone tactics in regular video games. It already cost $60 for the game (or $100 for the premium). Give me everything and don't nickle and dime me for stuff.

Just checked, there is 3 endings, best ending (no losses.) So-so ending (lose once.) And you die ending where you have to try again. Not saying what happens (spoilers!) or which ending I got (but I found getting close up during the boss fight was a good tactic considering projectiles did nothing.)

Kitana's in like a skintight BDSM catsuit, too, so it's not like they're not still sexually appealing if you're into that sorta thing. They're just not comedy like Soulcalibur's Ivy or well, anything in MK9.

Maybe this is just coming from being basically asexual but I really don't know why anyone in the middle of their blood and gore thinks, "Yeah, I could stand to see some boobs while I'm at it." These tastes don't mix.

These tastes don't mix. I mean, I can see it for other fighting games that might have some blood here and there but otherwise are just fighting without any major long-term damage. But for Mortal Kombat with all the gore and disembowling and decapitations? I don't get it either. Then again, people can be into some really sick shit.

It's just in this really weird era in gaming where there's a really vocal minority of edgelords who throw up a fit when things in games become sensible and not catering to their dubious tastes.

If we are on the topic of redesigns and the woman in this game, Skarlet is SO PRETTY here. Haven't taken her for a spin yet but based on looks alone I want to make her my main. Her outfit is fantastic, compared to the utter garbage that was her MK9 design, and she's just beautiful on top of that. They knocked it out of the park on that one IMO.

Got a question: custom variations are banned in ranked, right? But what about skins? I know they're kind of the same thing in this game, so I'm not sure. The weird thing is that I played a normal match with customs turned off and I could pick my Sonya skin, but when I played with Jade it didn't work, so now I'm confused.

Think I'll wait until the Kollector's Edition with all the bugs fixed to get it.

When do they usually release the "ultimate edition" or whatever that has everything included?
