Stages are amazing but...

I can't believe that some people are actually not happy with the stages. They are GORGEOUS.
Well, my OP say the opposite.
They are so good that I'll hope for DLC stages in the future so we can have more.
Even if this never came true, I'm happy because I like all we already got with the game.

I think there are simply no stages which induce a WOW factor this time. Think Soul Chamber from MK9: it is mindblowingly cool. Or Shang Tsung's Gardens. Or Shang Tsung's Throne Room. Or Shao Kahn's Throne Room. The only stage I've seen so far that looks relatively cool is that Netherrealm Laboratory.
I think all of the stages in this game WOW me more than MK9's stages, honestly.

Hi guys,
according to different streamings that we saw, we have 13 arenas in the game.
All of them are pretty amazing but, do you think that there can be a lot more?

It's not so important, gameplay seems amazing and that's what I really care the most but I personally love the stages of every NRS game and I'm a little bit sad that we have only 13 of them when we have something like 26 arenas in both MK9 and Injustice.

Do you think that they can release some "stage pack" DLC?
I could really go without a bunch of different stages as long as the gameplay and characters are/look fantastic.

Stages in MKX are absolutely gorgeous. That does not change the fact that my heart pines for Living Forest, The Pit, Cesspool, etc.

I put my quarter on the machine for a stage DLC.

Sucks that I have to, though

I wouldn't mind some dlc stages. its probably because most of the stages are meh to me. sky temple (that's the blue one with floating rocks right?) is good but the rest are pretty bland. could be that the color scheme in the game is pretty bland too, I liked the more vibrant colors in mk9 better.

You're definitely not alone. I was disappointed at the number of stages and lack there of as well

The colour scheme isn't bland. It's darker which fits the game's darker and more serious feel.
 
No, its not darker, there are plenty of lighter colors, its bland / washed out. The colors are muted. Nothing sticks out (except the Jinsen in Sky Temple).
agreed. Some stages like the kove or krossroads are washed out, and they both look awesome, I consider the kove to be my favorite stage in MKX. On the other hand, there are stages like kuatan jungle or dead woods that are both bland and boring.

I feel like they should release more stages as DLC. I'm already kind of getting sick of most of the stages in this game lol, maybe it's from seeing them repeatedly on streams or whatever but yeah. Klassic stage pack pretty please?

Thanks, I thought I was perhaps crazy b/c I think we're in the minority. My wife immediately said the same thing about the game, and also liked MK9's look better. I also agree that some of the stages are just bleh even without the color issues. But for me the color issues are present in the characters as well, Mileena's costumes are perfect examples. Her purple color just looks so worn out.

You're not crazy at all. It looks a lot blander imo is because there's a lack of color all around. The lifebars/special meter being gray as opposed to mk9 where it was green/bright orange. Colors like you said are so worn out, and there are a lot of characters with costumes that have a lot of grays/blues and it just looks so meh. It feels like to me that they need to up the saturation a little bit, for It's way too dull at the moment. I can definitely see where people are coming from when they say it helps the game feel darker, though. MK9 felt a bit too cartoony in a way, but the transition from that game to MKX is like night and day. It's far too big a change imo and I hope they find a middle ground with MK11.
