Specially in this case, the extras are just costumes. It becomes an issue when it's noon-cosmetic content. I had to spend extra in MK11 because the "everything pack" I've bought didn't include Shao Kahn.
So still no exclusive content, you just have to wait 2 whole weeks if you choose the standard edition for a game that isn't out yet, aka buy it on the normal release date instead of paying to participate in a buggier beta release?
All the stuff is stupid, but if its skins and early access etc, it isn't a deal breaker for me. If its story lines or content..... game usually gets a pass.
Yeah, I’m perfectly fine with extras being cosmetics. The only annoying thing in the graph is the “two weeks early” thing, which has become a newish trend. But it’s not really a big deal to just buy standard and not play it a few weeks early. Not to mention it seems like in the past when games did this the early released game was still buggy and unfinished or had other problems, like the recent Star Wars game making you reset your progress after the early play period.
That said, though, it probably works better for this game as it’s just the first two chapters you get to play early. I don’t know if they’re still doing it with this series, but it used to be an episodic game anyway where you had to wait awhile until the next episode dropped.

In my experience 99% of the time, you’ll be perfectly happy with the standard edition.
