Sorry but for all that's wrong with the game right now, low-res character models with movesets from the previous game aren't complete characters. That's some random NPC fights, and that's not a valid complaint IMO.
This is really the best thing to do. Lesson learned :/

How is it not a valid complaint? Because other things suck more?
Can you show me another game that locks non boss chars away as cp only in story only?
Better yet, why do you feel the need to brush it off?

The hits just keep on coming. Total contempt for their customers.
Warner Brothers DLC and pre-order practices have been about as bad as the other notable companies for a while now, so it's shame to see them continue to get worse. I know Arkham Knight already has pre order content, but I'm afraid of what other shitty practices might affect that game.
They are not complete at all, if you notice they have no variations and tanya basically uses Kitana's move set. Rain is pretty much his same self from MK9 (though I wish he was in)

Yeah I wanna use Rain. I'd bet they are going to release them in one form or another... for money.

Can you verify what the reddit poster reported? With screenshots preferably, but a yes or no will do.

I would be surprised if Tekken 7 didn't have credit microtransactions for buying accessories. It's already tedious to build credits in TTT2 outside of online battles. Harada can only keep Scamco at bay for so long.

I noticed a very large dropoff in payoffs but took it to be some kind of reduced payout due to repeated performances or lack of doing fatalities and so forth. However once I jumped into Test your Might and a couple other modes again...something seemed dramatically off. I am going through the hours of video footage to see if I can match something up.
Regardless it would not have changed the entire reviews score for me, but I would have liked to have felt it out, if it did indeed change.

That Test your Might is suspect, the other dropoff was present in MK9, I believe. Thanks for doing this.

Seriously guys, Warner are a fucking dodgy publisher and I'm not surprised to see you hem pull this shit. They'll find ways to fuck with Arkham Knight too and make it much less appealing, I'm sure.

They can get away with it because MK and DC are brands people love :/
Man, I'm so not used to this crap. I guess I'm mostly a fan of better developers / publishers, this is my first time dealing with this "AAA broken wallet-grabbing" thing.

Hmmm...this doesn't bother me that much.
I mean its crappy that WB is doing this, but I will still buy the game and unlock as much as I can, however I will not drop 20 dollars to unlock all the krypt items. Thats half the fun in these mk games.

You know, there's a chance that all this may have been a big misunderstanding.
Here's what the reddit user was doing:

Basically using story mode chapter select to go back to the final boss and beat him over and over again, earning 2500 koins each.
Maybe with patch 1.01 you get 2500 koins the first time and then less coins for doing it again.

I'm waiting for some people to actually try this and post their results.

Wasn't that the same deal in MK9?
That seems like an exploit rather than WB trying to screw us over.
And this is why people shouldn't be so quick to defend these shady MT's to begin with like in the thread yesterday. When they put these little microtransaction mechanics into games, they will design them to push the player to buy them one way or another, it might be subtle or blatant. And its a slippery sloop, whats next ?

I'm pretty sure you only got a full amount of koins during your first play through in MK9. Could this be the same thing? And if so, would everyone calm down?

Do you think that games just make themselves? It is and will always be about the money, companies need to operate and pay employees.

If it is simply as the other poster point out with it patching it so it won't give you the full amount per story mode completion then yeah I understand it a bit.
Wouldn't the patch notes say "fixed koin bug" or something in it?
Although we know that the final reward is now 1500 instead of 2500 according to some users, so they did lower it.

Nope, but this practice is shady IMO. I'm not a fan of DLC content in terms of characters, coins, weapons, etc. You should earn such things in the game themselves by completing certain objectives.
The gaming business was doing fine before such things were introduced.

Quoting myself from the last page.
I'm all for internet mobs, and if it's true, it's justified, but the internet is about to explode over what's apparently unverified information.
