Pay to win?

[NumeroDΣz]

I was really annoyed when I started playing MK1 on early access and wondered why would they make some Kameos locked until certain level and now I realised they just wanted to sell a few base roster kameos for money, lol. That's a new low, Jesus Christ how scummy can NRS be?

Edit: I forgot that both Ermac and Quan Chi are already in the game as well so KP1 bloated.

But you can unlock them all for free. A lot of companies have sold unlocks and apparently lazy people spend money on them because they keep doing it.

Yeah I understand that but it just goes to show how low they're willing to go to milk their player base. Some players won't get these kameos out of lazyness so they'll just pay for it but there's also people that don't have much time to play so they're basically unable to use characters that are already in the game and ready to be used just because NRS wanted a few extra bucks.

It was on mk11 as well, I believe frost was the unlockable character, if you were in hurry you could simply buy the early unlock or... just play the game.
Same goes here, kameos and havik are unlocked by simply playing, if for some reason you want to throw money out the window you can.
In the dlc page literally says: "this can be unlocked for free".

Not exactly the same thing, kameos are basically tools to give you a different gameplan/counterplay so not being able to use hurts your gameplay regardless of what character you use plus using this examples just makes them look worse.

Well, the ones you need to unlock aren't that great anyways. Seems like most people just go with Jax because they can then stunlock you into the same combo over and over again.

You are calling pay to win something that's available for everyone and takes zero effort to be obtained, most people like to unlock stuff while playing... you may find it incredible but that's how it is.
Let me spell it simple: those early unlock dlcs are there for people that have more money than common sense... just ignore them.

Kung Lao is probably one of the best Kameos and at least for General Kahn Motaro is probably the best. Sub-zero/Scorpiong are OK but have unique tools plus they're really popular so...

this guy is definitely a troll who is trying to farm steam points, don't give him any awards and don't reply

You can easily afk the entire xp grind. I did for the 5 Kameo character mastery achievement. I ended up with the 5 Kameo mastered, multiple main characters, don't remember how many, and a profile level above 100.

Well if you start playing it right now you will be in a disadvantage if you find an opponent that have unlocked these Kameos or have bought them. It makes no difference for me I have already unlocked the. It's just sad to see how low can these devs go and there's idiots that will pretend this is a good practice. UMVC3 and SFxT died because of how abusive Capcom was meanwhile braindead NRS fans will just give them money and act as this was positive somehow, LOL

Oh I see so me complaining about how scummy they are for removing content from a game you payed and potentially ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up your online experience unless you grind for levels or pay them is trolling but crying like a ♥♥♥♥♥ for fps capping on a steam review is fair? Ok kid.

I mean you can make your characters just afk grind. The game plays and you walk away. Go take a nap, watch tv, read a book, cook.

Just do Survival in Invasion, one of the easy ones. Have your character continually join it again after they're strong enough to not die. Easy. I used a turbo controller that just pressed X over and over. You should be able to use any automation tool you like to press Enter over and over if you don't have a turbo controller.

Every fighting game always has locked content which you unlock by playing the game. Go play the game instead of whining here like a little child.
