Kotal and Erron are the only good new characters in my opinion, so if the rest of them simply didn't return for future games, I wouldn't bat an eye. I understand that they want to do something new and fresh, I just don't think that means you have to get rid of all the classic characters who defined MK and made the series what it is. I decided awhile ago that MKX will likely be my last MK game, since I just don't care for where they're taking the series.

Sorry to hear this decision, but definitely understandable. Is kind of why I'm hoping MK11 manages to renew interest in the lore and stuff, for those who were off-put by MKX.

I agree also on the general topic of this thread, which was part of why I never got into Soul Calibur V, for instance. If they ever pull that with MK (mostly no veteran characters whatsoever), I'd probably be done with the series, but would like to think NRS is smart enough to know how much fans/support they'd lose if they went that far.

And I guess before I'm asked the question, @ Godzilla: I'm not against change, so much as I am being alienated by taking out who or what got me into a series in the first place.
