Yeah that is definitely how WBIE rolls. Shadow of Mordor as an example is TERRIBLE on PS3/360. Besides the tehcnical downgrades you mention, the entire nemesis system is gone. Uuuhh....

The list of opponents in story that you can't play are, Tanya, Rain, Baraka, and Sindel. Its really kind of frustrating that they included them like that and especially with Tanya being DLC.
Also the microtransactions are killing me. 20 bucks unlocks the entire Krypt for you. 4.99 gets you 30 "easy" fatalities. They advertised the easy fatalities as a way for people who don't want to do the button kombo to do fatalities too. They did not advertise it as a way for them to make cheap extra money off people. Really shady in my book.
I have to say that while the game is fantastic I do not like these nickel and dime policies.
Also guys if you wanna play some MKX you can add me on Xbox One and PS4.
Xbox - DOD MAYHEM PS4 - DOD_MAYHEM

Well I picked up it today but didn't get around to playing it too much unfortunately as I had to tidy up a bunch for guests tomorrow. That and the big patch! Still, blasted through a regular arcade tower as Johnny Cage and the first chapter of story mode. Seems great! Like them including the background stuff from Injustice.

Depends on who did them, I guess. Titanfall on 360 was delayed by about a month, and it turned out to be rather impressive.

Seeing as the legacy-gen versions are pushed back to June, I guess we can assume they'll be frame-gimped, unplayable garbage, and NRS/WB is just waiting until enough people have forgotten those versions are supposed to exist, and slip them out under the radar? Well, one can also hope they're taking some more time to try and optimize those version. Obviously something will have to be sacrificed (most obviously 30 FPS rather than the 60 on the newer consoles)

I just watched a playthrough of the storymode on Youtube. After MK9 had killed off 2/3 of its cast, this one almost felt PG13 by comparison. Well, unless you count the actual violence, not just the good characters killed. Also Kotal Khan was severely underused. I'd expected him to pop up more often. At least Scorpion finally got a cool makeover, both personality and design-wise.

Wait...you actually have an option to pay five bucks for a limited number of easy fatalities? Something that should just be free?
Bloody Hell, what's next? Probably an option to pay money to have the game play itself "Is Mortal Kombat too hard? Well just play 10 bucks and you can watch the game play itself to the end, achievements included! Now you really did 'beat' the game".
Te sad thing is, if they did that, there are probably people stupid enough to actually buy it, instead of just going on to twitch and watching that kind of thing for free >.<;

A damn scummy thing to do but.

Yeah it seems fine, plus you can unlock several easy fatalities by just playing through the game's content a lot anyway.

Well I finished up the story mode after work today. It's shorter than the one in MK9 which is a shame and leaves a few characters with question marks over their fates. Still - it was an enjoyable enough experience and now it's time to play around with the characters more in the standard single player towers Going to be nice finally getting to try out the brutalities and fatalities

Some of the brutalities I can't imagine would ever happen in an online or verus match.
Must hit first Must be over 50% health must do a triple front flip while holding Thors hammer and hit the opponent with speical move but only the 4th hit of the move can hit and then you must pray to Cthulu for strength.

Yeah some of the brutalities are tough to perform - it's strange, for some characters you just have to get the final hit in with a certain combo or enhanced move - possibly with holding a direction or button. Then you get some people where you need to use a prefixed amount of moves, have a certain amount of health and indeed as you said mayhem - hope the alignment of the stars are right - Jax I am looking at you
