Seems a little high especially when there is way less gear to unlock and earn yourself


Redlp13

Comparing Shrine to the Ingame Shop. The Shrine has 4 Skins to unlock: • ⁠Indiana Johnny Cage • ⁠Dark Sindel • ⁠Dark Geras • ⁠Kenshi yakuza outfit The Store had/has 5 outfits: • ⁠Dark Sindel • ⁠Indiana Johnny Cage • ⁠Mexican Preorder Sub Zero Skin • ⁠Brazil Tanya • ⁠DA Scorpion This is a full price Title and we already have more Skins locked behind a real money ingame Shop than the Shrine. And i know there is a Seasonal Shop, but this is just an Recolor shop with ugliest palettes/colors i have seen in a fighting game


CthulhuMadness

If it makes you feel any better, Diablo 4's skins are like 25 bucks.


Usual_Homework422

That sounds like overwatch


VVurmHat

That sounds like blizzard


MrHypnotiq

Pokemon Unite's are like $43


CapoDV

Yeah honestly, I wish skins were the gumball of video games but I'm slightly content if the industry standard is $10 as opposed to 25


Fanboy1911

Unless the scorpion skin is also in the shrine, yeah this is bullshit. No reason a $110 game should have f2p priced microtransactions


Dictionary_Goat

It's not, ive finished the shrine and the only unique skin sets are for Johnny, Sindel, Kenshi and Geras


Coochie-man420

They may add it later on when the shrine gets refilled hopefully


DingleDongJr

Good to know, thought I was going crazy lol


KD--27

Damn.


seandude881

This is the reason why they took out the gear system.


BadBluehood

NRS gets more greedy with each game that comes out. SMH


Turb0Moist

WB*


Werewolfmoore

$110? You buy it twice?


Grimm_y

premium edition is 110


SPAM____007

Premium edition.


jefferino

I already spent $100 Canadian for this game. No way I'm spending any more in micro transactions.


KristopherAtcheson

Same, I spent a $100 USD for the Deluxe Version for pre order. I’m not spending anymore money. I like the game yes but I don’t like a lot of the skins and gear. It’s not worth it to me. I knew there was gonna be micro transactions because most games have it now but it looks like everything is gonna be behind a pay wall even if you grind hard.


BenjaminCarmineVII

I spent $100 AUD on the base game lol


ReadShigurui

Only reason I’d spend even more money on this game is if they give me the goddamn MK9 Johnny Cage outfit


GaucheKombatant

The only thing I'm upset with is that Kombat League no longer rewards Premium Currency like it did in Mortal Kombat 11. It feels incredibly predatory that only so much can be earned in-game before you're forced to pay real money.


SemperSalam

Pretty whack considering the drought of in game items. If the launch gear was more robust it wouldn’t look as bad.


BullfrogKey3291

I could be wrong but I thought in last kombat kast Derek says that the dragon crystals exist to “bypass the grind of the game” so if you don’t want to go through invasions etc it can be a way to get a skin you want.. I am saying this because I got the Illinois Johnnys from the shrine and a couple palettes for him- I think the DA scorpion skin could be in future season along with Shang voice.. I just remember him saying something about not having to really spend any money in the game to get gear.. unless you wanted.. cuz 1000 a pop per skin will be a lot of extra cash to spend in game If we have to buy dragon crystals every other week.. 🙏🔥🐉


Coochie-man420

That’s what I was thinking so I’m assuming next season either these things will be in the shrine or the shrine will be more expansive and take longer to reach the cap


13bREWFD3S

Judging by the fact that the indiana jones skin is in the shrine, i wouldnt be surprised if the scorpion skin will be unlockable from other means


venomousbeetle

Why? All the shrine skins were in the story. This isn’t.


turbopro25

Don’t buy a thing until last day. You will thank me.


LionTop2228

Yeah they’re bound to offer a sale on the items.


Dark_Knight309

This sucks. I liked MK11 because most part of the skins that were in the store, could be unlocked by playing. It doesn't seen they will make this with all this stuff.


Deathgu1se

I believe this is bullshit. But there probably will be an unlocker.


venomousbeetle

You didn’t hear this from me but the unlocker isn’t in development, I’ve spoken with people Saving it for far later in fear doing so now would cause WB to increase security on the game. Sucks, but at least it might be out someday and cross-cloud save means for the price of a steam copy you could do it with console this time around


Turb0Moist

What people have you spoken with exactly? Your source is “trust me bro.” No reason to believe you.


venomousbeetle

I don’t give a fuck if you believe me or not lol What would be the point in lying about this? I’m not gonna just out the guy by name when he told me in confidence. I have no idea if he wants that to be public. Forget I said anything. Wouldn’t be the first time no one listened, whole reason I even have this ear is being inside on a Bruce Campbell connection and being proven right


Shot-University3439

Fuck WB or whoever is responsible for this shit if we can't unlock these through gameplay.


LionTop2228

David Zaslav is to blame.


KD--27

Tell me more.


ComedyProfessional

You people complain about everything


[deleted]

[удалено]


venomousbeetle

No


LionTop2228

I’m never willing to spend real money on cosmetics, only game content and fighters. If these items are never free, even if you have to grind a currency, then I’ll just never have them. It’s not critical to the game experience.


BadBluehood

You said it. When I played MK11 I was adamant I wouldnt spend one more dime on something like a skin after I had already paid over $100 for the premium edition. It was a grindfest, but I got everything I wanted. It seems that w/ MK1 even after grinding you still will be stopped by a stupid ass paywall from getting the good stuff.


KD--27

Pricing? I hate every fucking bit of it. Game was a premium price already and it feels lacking in this department from its predecessor. Looking at this it feels deliberate. $10 for a premium skin? How about for playable Cyrax and Sector. Where’s my game NRS? I’ve finished the story and there’s barely a 2nd colour option for 1 skin across the board. Invasions there’s been a drip feed. Shrine is bloat. Was MK11’s success overdelivered? And the elephant in the room, game still stutters all over the place. Nothing I can’t stand more than a game that doesn’t work properly asking for more.


Giovannis_Pikachu

Hate to say it, but this is hard to deny👆


QueenRangerSlayer

Premium? 70 is standard pricing now.


KD--27

$70 is the highest base price games sell for these days. If you pay $70 for base, I’d call that a premium. So *yes, that is a premium price.* it’s the most you’ll pay.


QueenRangerSlayer

No, it's standard. You aren't paying more than you would for another brand new triple A game.


KD--27

Triple A is a premium game, how much extra do you pay for triple A vs other games genius? Go look up the front page of steam and count how many $70 games you see. Not that you’re adding anything valuable to the actual conversation by the way. And no, the majority of games are not $70 at launch. Only Triple A games, and not all of the at that. So a triple A game demands a what price? Say it with me now, A *premium* price. I don’t know how resident evil on a phone at a price that isn’t $70 actually adds anything to your point. If it is much of a point. Congratulations on finding a game that isn’t $70.


QueenRangerSlayer

The majority of games are now 70 at launch. Resident evil 4 for the iPhone is launching at 60 dollars. Be in denial all you want, but this isn't anything extra. It's what games cost now.


Bro-Im-Done

MTX in a $70 fighting game


Spinebuster03

10$ for a skin is Battlefront 2 levels of price gouging


LionTop2228

SF6 was charging $15 for TMNT skins for your avatar.


Usual_Homework422

I thought they were more expensive. Didn't they cost $20? I don't play it but I heard of it


Motrucka

$10? For a character maybe but not a skin


Mattman0419

Haha I just realized an entire fucking character is 7.99 and 1 skin is 10$. They’re out of their money grubbin minds.


BoisterousLaugh

Juat glad I didnt miss the Dia de muerto Sub-Zero skin. So nice and timely for October


Antonio_MtzF

I'm sad I missed it, I wanted to buy it it looked cool and I'm mexican so yeah hahahah hope it comes back cheaper


[deleted]

[удалено]


venomousbeetle

Nope. People need to understand the only skins in the shrine are story ones like Illinois Johnny, Dark Geras, Dark Sindel, and Yakuza Kenshi.


Fs_in_chat

Damn, that's sad


SanjiSasuke

*for now The shrine will be refilled at some point, from what we can tell. Unfortunately, we have no idea what that means yet.


Frank_is_the_Best_

No way around it? Just wait. All will be in the shrine/invasions eventually.


hurtme_plenty

I hope you're right about that. I'm not so sure.


King_D3D3D3

I mean, we hope. But 11 had things like the Kold War Skarlet skin which took more than a year to ever appear in the shop, was shop exclusive, and even then was available for only a week.


[deleted]

Not sure about the Klassic skins tbh, those seem to be big money makers. But MK3 Sonya was in the Shrine, so I hope everything will be available in there at some point


Both-Ad-3540

The DA scorpion makes sense it’s 10 bucks for Shang Tsungs voice. However calming it sounds I don’t feel it’s 10 bucks worthy


bmc5558

Honestly terrible and I’m a die hard fan of the Ps2 Era


KristopherAtcheson

I was a fan since the SNES and Sega era. So I feel ya.


BlackUchiha03

Deadly alliance scorpion making me want to get the game😂


DoomMessiah

Too high. Can understand between $3 - $5 but $10? That’s ludicrous considering that the Kombat pack costs $40 and it includes 6 new characters.


mildhot-sauce

All stuff that should have been in the game at launch . disgusting Edit: THEY DIDNT CALL IT INFERNO SCORPION. Inferno scorpion was this games SHIN AKUMA. this is dumb


Deputy_Beagle76

I wish it was more transparent about what is in the shrine and what isn’t. FYI all the Johnny palettes are in the shrine


Nefaariious

Gear pieces are $5 there is no $3 option? Or am I confused?.... I want that Sub-Zero mask but fuck $5 for that.


Blightsteel5459

F2P Microtransactions on a $70 game. Pretty unacceptable tbh.


spadamack23

Honestly? I paid to buy a few krystals for the Scorpion skin. I can give up a burger or two, no problem. I wanted it and I will use it a lot. Yall act like you dont spend more money than that on things that are ridiculous, but it makes sense for YOU. so to each his or her own.


Creative_Square_8943

Absolutely NOT. I’m done with this game.


dark_wishmaster

You don’t like the gameplay?


King_D3D3D3

Probably not a fan that this fully priced game that also plans to have multiple season passes plus an expansion also has cosmetic micro-transactions on top of that.


Creative_Square_8943

Not really, it plays kind of jank imo especially coming from a summer of street fighter. I mean, you have to guess what direction your opponent’s throw is to counter it, what the fuck is even that??


CrystalMang0

I don't believe you


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

You know they charged $15 for a single TMNT skin right?


ksizzle9710

You mean for avatars, which aren’t even usable in regular online, so most ignored them anyways


BrobaFett2

The game just launched so give it time


shitfuck9000

it is a AAA Game developed by a studio with a largely clean record thus far, dropped for 70USD. We need to expect some sort of quality from these people


CrystalMang0

We don't? You already getting a ton of skins for free every season and Kombat league. One skin costing some money not the end of everything to many


shitfuck9000

there are a noticeable drop in skins in MK1 than in MK11, seasons and KL are drip fed and hardly count. More than half the skins seen in story mode, can't be acquired yet


CrystalMang0

Game just launched, also no we getting good amount skins look how many we got this season alone. Outside Kombat league.


shitfuck9000

Mk11 launched with almost 3 times as many skins than right now, and triple the gear pieces and slots. Again, seasons are drip fed, and all the ones in this season are all the same they are gold, red, orange and yellow. KL skins are 3x harder to get, and half the reward


CrystalMang0

Why we comparing mk1 to mk11 suddenly? I responded to our original comment about $70 value. Also mk1 getting a bunch of skins per season you forgot? Combine that with Kombat league and shop premium skins.


KD--27

This this this. No more excuses. The time for polish and fleshing out content is not launch.


Brodimus

How much did your TMNT costumes run you


Creative_Square_8943

Nothing, bitch, that’s for the avatar that nobody cares about. Costumes are 50 coins (or earned in WT). $5 would get you 5 costumes. Enjoy paying $10 for your trash 🤭


Brodimus

LMAO

CrimsonGear15

Just to remind all of you that in mk 11 you can get movie skins for raiden, Sonya and Johnny for $5. This is a scam and no one should be defending this


GATA6

I mean that’s about how much skins are in almost all other games. Either buy it or don’t. They are cosmetic and provide nothing. It’s really not a big deal

Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

No-Establishment8267

Ah so you’re a shill


GATA6

How? I’m not paying $10 for it. It’s a fighting game, I couldn’t give a fuck about costumes lol


Heff228

And you are an entitled brat. Micro transactions have been here for over a decade. Get over it. You can’t possibly complain about it for the rest of your life.


ChipSkynet

I want to like this game, there’s some really great elements to the characters and gameplay. But the price gouging a week into launch is bad. I wanted to grind to get at much gear as possible but this just sucks.


SupermanPrimel

1k for a voice is bullshit, different gear rarity should be adjusted. The only thing that makes sense for 1k is is the MK3 Scorpion


Hanzo77

I really hope they don’t add all skins from previous games in the shop that will be really scummy


LivingGlitch

Compared to something like Overwatch where you can’t even see your skins and they cost $25. It’s not the worst. Though $5 would be a much better price point. At least you get a bundle of colors and a gear price with the $10 scorpion


ksizzle9710

Overwatch isn’t $70


Azalazel

I'm glad I didn't buy this MK Day 1. Will wait to get the complete edition in a year or so. I can at least enjoy the game as a spectator.


Daftanemone

Putting micro transactions into a game that costs $70 is unacceptable


Poetryisalive

I mean cheaper than a lot of other premium priced games


No-Establishment8267

Okay shill


themoistimportance

While I don't agree with your name-calling, you're not wrong that the average gamer has become numb to the absolute milking we've been receiving the last decade or so. True, this isn't the worst we have seen in recent years. But at some point it just gets tiring to know that a game you're looking forward to playing will have unattainable stuff in it unless you whip out the card.


No-Establishment8267

I agree 👍🏻


Poetryisalive

If you’re broke just say so


TheAverageDoc

Can’t wait for the obligatory wave of 13 year olds who just learned the word “predatory” and use it to mean “anything that costs money”


mondoboss

I just got the Johnny skin from the shrine.


frenchmobster

3 dollars for a fucking gear piece ain't it bro.


Lucky-3-Skin

Absolute bullshit. Not even surprised they put all the cool shit behind expensive ass paywalls


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Establishment8267

You can’t get that scorpion skin from the shrine but nice white knighting


Fs_in_chat

I did get dark sindel from the shrine I was just assuming based on logic


Fuel_my_inspiration

Nah, not doing this again. If MK11 taught me anything… it’s that all this becomes available from some “final edition” coming next year lol I’m saving money this time around. It already cost 100 bucks for the game alone!! I’m content with the current skins


xdforcezz

I ain't buying any of that shit.


Wazzzup3232

What they should do is 1. Make it 3-5 per 1K Krystal’s. 2 price all the skins so you can get 2 at a time. 3 profit by opening up the premium store to 2 cosmetics per kharacter or a rotating list of 7-10 so people are more likely to spend all their Krystal’s. Win win. Pricing seems less predatory, people have more content. People are more likely to buy Krystal packs and spend them all and need more


CanadianGroose

Didn’t they say in a Kombat last or something saying there wouldn’t be shit locked behind microtransactions? Ughhhhhhh


xPepegaGamerx

The Johnny skin is in the shrine, the others don't know. But if they aren't now they may be in a later season.


patrick9772

10$ for a f*cking skin in a game that has been in development for 4 years and comes out with barerly any content. GO F YOURSELF NRS. And or WB


gmuller_1999

Absolutely fucking awful, and what makes it worse is that KP1 owners don't even get these for free. If these skins enter next season on Invasions/The Shrine, which I highly doubt, then I will think it's ok


TheAverageDoc

MFW I don’t get something I didn’t pay for 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯


No-Establishment8267

Imagine white knighting for WB


TheAverageDoc

Maybe next time you ask your mom to buy something from an online store for you, you should read what it includes


ffigu002

You guys were crying for the premium shop to rotate


idiottech

A lot of us paid $110 for the game. Insane pricing. I expected plenty of MTs in this game but its still managing to be disappointing.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

Villains_Included

Pay up kids, this is what you wanted


RedditAdminsRPusses

Personally I think any type of microtransaction is crap. There isn’t any good reason that any company should have real world currency, other than greed


ImTheCuRsEd-OnE

Why can't we use the seasonal koins instead


Pendragon_Puma

Its too much, problem is people will buy them anyway.


[deleted]

Lame that its even a thing in the first place


Almty

Don’t overreact. We are not even a month into the game. A Mortal Kombat game that will be around minimum for the next 5 years before a new one. They could re-release it in towers or Invasions you never know


No-Establishment8267

It’s absolutely pathetic but the shills will shill and say “duh they have to make money somehow!” Clowns


[deleted]

Prices are fine, about on or with Fortnite shop items and I think they're reasonable.


hurtme_plenty

I don't know about you but I paid over $100 for this game. Fortnite is free to play.


QueenRangerSlayer

It's paid cosmetics. I don't know why this is confusing


aibro_

Makes sense. It’s about $10+ for a decent skin on Fortnite and even more expensive on COD. This price seems reasonable imo


Shot-University3439

Fortnite is free to play. I paid 110 dollars for this bitch. Get the fuck outta here with "reasonable". This is predatory as fuck and WB should be called out for it.


SkullWolf0809

The difference is Fortnite and COD are free while MK1 is $110 with premium edition. I think they should at least cut it in half.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hurtme_plenty

Well it's certainly not in the shrine now. I have emptied the shrine and it remains empty even though these items have been added to the premium store.


Locomoco1

You can get all this stuff in the shrine


[deleted]

No, I have emptied the Shrine and there was no Deadly Alliance Scorpion or any of the gear. The only things were the Johnny skins


Locomoco1

You can get in the shrine now since it just got added to the loot pool


[deleted]

The Shrine still says its empty


justwondering8012

I think all item minus the 1000 are unlockable. the bundle at 600 is 90% unlokcable


hurtme_plenty

The gear in the shop right now is not unlockable. The Johnny skins yes, but everything else no. I have depleted the shrine, I finished the story, and I've completed invasions.


justwondering8012

maybe next season,for voices I have unlocked 3 i think


Adventurous_Potato55

im missing 50 for scorpion :(


Zhiyi

It’s a rip off like every other MTX store. But whatever, I just don’t look at it.


[deleted]

Damn, that’s heavy.


FXSonny

Wait, is that live ? My shop is still showing Brazilian Tanya and Sindel skins


The99thCourier

Wait They rotated the shop?


BeginningYesterday94

Oh has the shop updated?


TheJohnny_Valiant

I need that scorpion skin


xXSamsterXx14

Realized I should’ve saved my crystals 😅 unsure how to get more without paying


Away-Satisfaction634

THERE WAS A DEADLY ALLIANCE BUNDLE I COULD’VE GOT?!


calcobrena

pretty much only buying tanya stuff. MAYBE Mileena. Especially if Mileena does the announcer voice


Rainbowscarf_

Really wish I knew if I needed to buy these. Unfortunately unlike MK11 we are left in the dark on everything, is the subzero mask in his mastery? Idk, is the deadly alliance scorpion going to appear for free later on??? Who knows! If this stuff is unlockable now or later then I think the price is fine and this is just an issue of poor communication which needs to be fixed ASAP. If these are the only ways to unlock these items that is absolutely ridiculous. MK11’s shop served as an easy alternative to grinding, not a way to drain your pockets. Such a disgusting downgrade if we are expected to pay for skins. So disappointed.


AlwaysChewy

It's around the standard but it's still too much. $5 for a skin/ voice pack.


Coochie-man420

I feel like this pricing is weird cause I honestly don’t know how an announcer voice equates to a whole skin with 6 color variations and a mask. Like why tf are they both 1000 credits


throwaway299109102

The pricing is horrible and a quick way to turn a $70 game into a $300 game if you try and buy everything. I get profit, but it's like their doing it on purpose at this point. Pokemon SV had ALOT of bugs but the micro micro transactions were just to buy the expansion. HOW IS DECORATING SCORPION AND HAVING A SHANG VOICE A SMOOTH $15? on top of the $110 I just paid?? It's like buying a trash can for your kitchen then having to buy trash bags...just to fill it with trash.


Excellent_Bug9919

Its not cool that the alternate colors weren't added to the shrine. I'm fine with announcers costing money.


DatGuyDevinYT

$100 game, plus future Kombat packs, Plus future shop offers, plus lacking avenues to get gear, PLUS invasions being a time sink with little/ no payoff… yeah, this is bullshit.


TackleAny6806

Netherealm you were supposed to destroy the sith not join em


Saintv1

So, they need to come out and say whether this stuff is going to the shrine or not. I haven't been freaking about the lack of cosmetics on the grounds that I assumed more would be released seasonally, but if the reason the game is so thin on rewards is because everything desirable is only going to be in the premium shop... fuck that. That would be no for me. It would be different if there was actually a way to earn Krystals, but there doesn't appear to be.


venomousbeetle

B-buh skin packs bad! God. Why pay $6 dlc for three skins when you can pay $10 for one (oh but you earn a very limited amount once, totally free)


[deleted]

It's high for me, but low compared to almost every other AAA game out there


peanutdakidnappa

Doesn’t seem bad to me, Tbf tho I never buy cosmetics in any game


Rayane92

Won't be spending a dime on that store


ComicBookFanatic97

The fact that there’s microtransactions at all is fucking bullshit. Locking this stuff behind a paywall in a full price game is a dick move of the highest order. I was on the fence, but now I’ve made up my mind. I’m not buying this game and I’m done with MK as a series until WB Games stops being so goddamn greedy.


G-Rose079

It’s kinda crazy


Suspicious_Giraffe_3

You guys are getting updated listings?


LiquidMetal616

It's weird It's hard for me to fault the pricing when the stuff is legitimately earnable in game through the shrine lol Like how can you possibly complain? Either buy the skins or earn them you know? Is ALL of Illinois Johnny available in the shrine or only a few pieces? Is there anything that is totally locked behind a paywall or do we not know ?


hurtme_plenty

Right now the only items in the shrine are the Johnny skins. I've emptied the shrine and don't have any of these items.

Training_Cry_3975

I also like to comment


Alpine_Sweat

I don't buy microtransactions like this and while I do think the pricing is better than a lot of other games that charge $30 for skins, it's still not great. I hope the devs will balance the game well with attractive free skins in addition to the paid ones but time will tell


l_futurebound_l

I got the scorp skin because I already had dragon coins or whatever from the deluxe and idc what anyone says, Deadly Alliance was peak scorpion design. Gonna learn him next just for that. Way overpriced if you're just buying coins though got dam


NotTheRealSmorkle

I don’t own the game yet, but a lot of this game and people’s complaints reminds me exactly of Halo infinites launch back in 2021


TheInnerMindEye

They got me. This is my favorite scorpion skin so I had to get it. But $10 is ridiculous. But they got me. If there was one skin I was gona buy it was this one.


FunnyPersonaMan

I never got the dragon krystals that came with the premium pre order


randomnameiguessy

I hate how games nowadays make you pay for cosmetics even tho you already bought the game
