When do they usually release the "ultimate edition" or whatever that has everything included? It was about a year after the original release of the last game when they released the upgraded version with all the DLC, so... at least a year, depending on the DLC cycles.

There was a Kombat Kast and here's a summary of various issues and plans:
That being said, this feels like they are taking the right steps and addresses some concerns fans had (The chest rewards were randomize, what was being sold in the store, ladders difficulty, etc.)

I think the whole thing with microtransactions was a little overblown. MKX had similar complaints when the only things it offered were easy fatalities, fight skips, and an "unlock all" for the Krypt. Are these completely optional things really worth getting upset over?
Now, those 250,000 koin chests and... everything to do with Towers of Time? Yeah, those were problems.

This take surprises me, because gamers have historically been known for being level-headed and reasonable when it comes to expressing their enthusiasm for their hobby, including when they level criticisms. /s

Just watched the story mode today, and phew it's a lot to take in. Unless you watch CW's The Flash, you probably will go cross-eyed at all the time jumping bs! Still fun, despite the vast recastings of certain characters. Ronda Rousey as Sonya Blade STILL = CRINGE! Very sad no Ashly Burch as Cassie Cage, as I think she really captured her smart-ass attitude in MK X.

Are these completely optional things really worth getting upset over? In this particular case I'm gonna say... Yeah. Yes. The whole customization thing is a major selling point of the game and to get... basically anything at all out of it you basically need to either 1), grind for hours upon hours upon hours to get the money to hopefully eventually find shit in the Krypt and to get consumables for the Tower of Time, or 2), give them a bunch of money. For that matter I'm calling bullshit on the pay to unlock the Krypt thing in X too. They made the thing as deliberately obtuse as possible, including dedicating a large chunk of it to luck with the well, to try to frustrate you into dropping an absolutely ludicrous price on it all. I don't think it was game-ruiningly bad there by any stretch of the imagination, most of the skins weren't unlocked through it and it was mostly just concept art and other things that don't matter, but it was pretty clearly designed around trying to frustrate people into giving them money instead of actually being a functional store interface. Granted it beats the, "Most of the content is literally impossible to unlock without spending decades playing the game or dropping an astronomical amount of money," approach Injustice 2 did.

I also wanted to mention how nice it was to see Kitana looking like an actual human being and not a some kind of weird blow up doll in this game.

Lol, 'not designed to drive people to microtransactions'...
Bought the game yesterday. Had a 20 quid Argos voucher so happy days. Spent most of my time running around the Krypt. Too many currencies.

I know one gives a crap, but if Lizuka is right about the three Kombat Packs, and if it is 6 characters per pack, this would be my ideal line-up: Pack 1: 1. Ferra/Torr 2. Kung Jin 3. Reptile 4. Shang Tsung 5. Sheeva 6. Takeda Pack 2: 1. Fujin 2. Goro or Kintaro 3. Mileena 4. Shinnok 5. Sindel 6. Smoke Pack 3: 1. Bo' Rai Cho 2. Ermac 3. Kano's son from his MKX ending or Tremor 4. Kenshi 5. Nightwolf 6. Tanya I mean.....I think it would be good.

So, I got the premium edition on launch day as a download, and while it says I'll get the upcoming DLC, it's not giving me Shao Kahn. Are they that strict about it being pre-order only and I have to pay $5.99 for him, or do I unlock him somewhere in story mode?

Nightwolf 6. Tanya I mean.....I think it would be good. Ruling out the characters that have already leaked and Shang Tsung being announced... {Spoiler}Nightwolf, Sindel, Fujin, Sheeva, Joker, Terminator, Ash, and Spawn. Also maybe Havik, they patched out his support. For the other nine I'd go with... Chameleon Ferra / Torr Havik Kintaro Mileena Rain Shinnok Takeda Tanya

Maybe they will make the Krypt guy a character, too.

Reminds me, I got quite a kick out of the fact one of the parts of the Shaolin Monks tower references, "Are you okay?" I recommend doing the Shaolin Monks tower by the way, you get some nice rewards from it and it's piss-easy.

I remember one of the games including a joke about the cryptic Reiko ending, saying he just likes to sit in Shao Khan's chair if he's not around.

That was Deception, then Armageddon expanded it to giving Reiko a pants version of Kahn's gear and a special move where he summoned an energy version of the helmet.

Between Bo Rai Cho and Nightwolf, which kinda-sorta plot important character in the franchise is more consistently uninteresting to you guys?

At least Bo Rai Cho has some actual connections to the plot and to some other characters, Nightwolf's just this random guy the heroes who actually matter somehow know.
