Kombat Pack is $15. I'll happily pay that, Rain and Mileena have been much missed and also Rambo exists.

Good to see they're doing the free next-gen upgrades

Finally: Schwarzenegger vs Stallone. I appreciate there’s finally a game Stallone can get revenge for “Stop or my Mom will shoot”.

They're for sure going to recycle a bunch of Predator's moves for Rambo, right?

So will it be Johnny or Cassie that somehow references Rocky against Rambo?

Well, there's the exploding bow and arrows and huge bowie knife to give to Rambo.
Might as well give him some Muay Thai stuff from III.

I mean, I'm happy Rain is included and Mileena's a cool addition, not sure I'd play as her much, but cool. Rambo is just lame here. There were so many options and I'm sure most companies would've worked with NRS, but they, again, pick a character who's basically "guy with gun". Rambo is just there as a name for casuals to go and buy it. I really dislike how the MK community keeps crapping on guest fighters and the fans that get excited by them

Rambo should be a lot of fun to play, can't wait honestly. Super excited for Rain and Mileena! Looking forward to this!
So who's the next 80s movie charater that's going to be next. Mr. Miyagi?

Rambo is just there as a name for casuals to go and buy it. I really dislike how the MK community keeps crapping on guest fighters and the fans that get excited by them I'm going to assume you weren't referring to me specifically when you say "crapping on guest fighters and the fans that get excited by them" as I believe I've said I like guest fighters (and if I didn't say that, well, I do) and nothing in my quoted post said anything about the fans who like them. My issue with Rambo is the same issue I have with all of the guest fighters in MK 11; they're boring. Terminator has guns, Robocop has guns, Spawn has guns, even f***ing Joker has a gun. Do they fit the characters? Sure, they do. It's not that NRS isn't being faithful to the source by having guns on all of them, but it doesn't make them interesting or make me want to buy them. Visually, they're all top-notch. Terminator has one kind of lame fatality and, well, both of Spawn's fatalities are lame, but it's just boring to play as, which is kind of a deal breaker in a fighting game. MKX had literally no guests with guns unless you count Predator's plasma-caster and they were all great. Hell, I think I played as Alien the most of anyone in either KP so it isn't at all an issue of having them for me. Just not feeling any of the ones in MK 11.

Got mixed feelings on this overall. Rain looks fantastic and looks like they're doing some interesting stuff with his lore and powers, and giving him a unique weapon to boot that hasn't really been done in MK before.
Meanwhile, Milleena looks like a marked step back from MKX, where she got her own look to remove her from Baraka and make her seem more like a hybrid of Edenian and Tarkatan (as well as having a face model that actually worked for dialogue rather than the silliness of flapping teeth back and forth), and a badass look in general with her Kahnum outfits, half regal, half practical leather armour. Now it's back to generic silks and facewise just how she looked in the 90s. I really hope her other skins will be a bit better.
Also, we have another boring 80s action movie guy with guns who'll slur his way through generic cookie cutter lines that are just kind of there and don't fit the lore at all, with a few cheeky references to his movies. Really wish Ash had worked out, he would have fit in perfectly both banter wise and lore wise with how often he goes through portals and fights evil, and had far much more potential variety for gameplay.

Any idea what Rambo's friendship could be?

For the people who do, great, but yeah, if they just completely stopped doing them I wouldn't mind a bit.

See, I would have had Stallone and Schwarzenegger be in as Rocky Balboa and Conan the Barbarian, instead.
Does Liue Kang have the eye of the tiger, or could Shao Kahn grasp the riddle of steel?

Me either, I had no desire whatsoever to play as Leatherhead in X when someone like Kabal or Smoke could've been playable

And yes, it is Stallone voicing Rambo I was gonna say, that's either Sly himself or the got a much better impersonater than they did for Terminator.

Weird that they were able to get the original actors for Robocop and Rambo to reprise for the game, but not Arnie for the Terminator.
