>>88737073I'll agree it was rough because no one had attempted that sort of Story Mode in a fighting game before but it was a more interesting solution than suddenly contriving a corny reason for Batman and Sub-Zero to team up and do a standard "Good guys vs bad guys" story and they even addressed during the DC side story that if it means saving the planet, Batman would team with The Joker.
>>88737276NRS and Jon Vogel admitted that was their fault in not pointing out the major lore change and Raiden's biggest fuck up in that in the original MK3, Shao Kahn gives Shang Tsung one final chance to lead his armies, ressurect Sindel and construct the soulnado.
In MK9, Shao Kahn has Quan Chi construct the Soulnado and Resurect Sindel, and kills Shang Tsung for failing the original earthrealm attack as his general after Motaro is killed. Kahn transfers all his power to Sindel who becomes a walking magic nuke and is sent on an intentional suicide mission by Kahn to erradicate the earthrealm resistance.
If you knew the MK lore. You wouldn't be pissed outside if they could have explained it better like Raiden realizing how much he fucked up with the amulet flashbacks. But for everyone else who wasn't familiar it was a fucking retarded way to kill off a lot of characters at once.
I guess that's why NRS is hiring Shawn Kittlesen now. Because he'll probably make a lot more sense than Jon Vogel ever did in both MK and Injustice.
