How is it underhanded that they made us think everyone was going to get revived but then wasn't? It's called a plot twist. That's not false advertising, the game is not called Mortal Kombat X: Return of Liu Kang and Kung Lao. Sheesh. Actually it IS false advertising. If you're showing trailers of an alive Liu Kang, you're selling an alive Liu Kang, but you're doing it because you know a dead Liu Kang won't sell shit (because we all remeber the last time they sold a dead Liu Kang, right? *cough*Deception*cough*), then that's false advertising.

And it is not a plot twist if you sell something from outside a plot and then entire plot is different from what you sold with your publicity. A plot twist is a plot twist when the plot follows a given pattern and then it changes. Liu started the story mode dead, kept dead, and ended the story mode... yeah, dead. That's hardly a twist. It's not even a curve, it's more like a straight line.

The charcter just stays like that all the way. No development or evolution. Just a whiny bastard who yells at Jax because he is aparently furious with Raiden, but won't tell it to the Thunder God himself when he has the chance. Instead he pushes him with his revenant-bros in a circle as some kind of child-like high school bullies.

Of course this is not   " Mortal Kombat X: Return of Liu Kang and Kung Lao"  but Liu Kang was FAR from being even decently written.
