Eh, I'd give it a week or two for MP servers. Doesn't seem like anyone can get them going properly nowadays at launch.Diablo1099 said:I have heard that the game itself it pretty freaking great, but it sounds like Netherrealm have messed up the Network something terrible.

When you see a virtual character's face literally sliced off, and it just sort of slides downward like a chunk of bad ham to reveal a ridiculously-detailed rendition of what's underneath, you just can't really take it seriously.
Maybe it's similar to MK9, but done better?chozo_hybrid said:"The story mode in MKX is like nothing I've ever seen before, essentially offering up an extended cut-scene-based cinematic experience interspersed with the player taking control for periodic fight scenes."
It's weird how you say the story mode is like nothing you've ever seen before (unless you never played the previous game or Injustice I guess), when the previous MK game did the same thing, or am I missing something? Seems to me like it's more of a return to what the previous game did, but perhaps better I would assume by this statement.
Also, I hope the final boss isn't complete bullshit like it was in the previous game.
I have a lot of trouble believing that being the general case across the board. Injustice itself was an improvement over MK9 as far as netcode goes. I just can't see it possible that somehow the netcode got worse.Diablo1099 said:I have heard that the game itself it pretty freaking great, but it sounds like Netherrealm have messed up the Network something terrible.

To be honest... Probably isn't Netherrealm's fault. It's Valve that didn't got their shit together with the Stream download.Metalrocks said:i still wait until its fixed. keep reading on steam forum that the game always crashes as soon as they want to play. they call it even a "main menu simulator". so much for being a good port as promised by the devs.

Or how it was nothing innovative when MK did it. Seriously, it seems to me like all they did was rip off the vastly superior story mode of Blazblue. Then again we also have some people acting like the alternate versions of the roster is something new...when in fact we've been doing that since Street Fighter Alpha and King of Fighter 98.chozo_hybrid said:"The story mode in MKX is like nothing I've ever seen before, essentially offering up an extended cut-scene-based cinematic experience interspersed with the player taking control for periodic fight scenes."

others think so too. im curious if the retail version is like that as well. since the game isnt really small on size, and my connection isnt really fast, i go for the disc version.Diablo2000 said:To be honest...

From what I heard the retail version downright refuse to install until a certain hour where the game would be officially released.Metalrocks said:others think so too. im curious if the retail version is like that as well. since the game isnt really small on size, and my connection isnt really fast, i go for the disc version.Diablo2000 said:To be honest...

Shao Kahn was bullshit.. until the point where you realised how the AI operates and figured out that you can just jump over and behind him when he starts an attack and then just perform whatever combo you're most comfortable with. Or even just uppercut him to death.Mortis Nuncius said:Maybe it's similar to MK9, but done better?chozo_hybrid said:"The story mode in MKX is like nothing I've ever seen before, essentially offering up an extended cut-scene-based cinematic experience interspersed with the player taking control for periodic fight scenes."

And I agree, Shao Kahn was complete bull. I actually had to walk away from the game for months because it was so frustrating.
Picked it up again a few months ago and finally beat it. But never again.
Wasn't Blazblue's story mode basically just sprites with their lips moving, dialoguing back and forth? I'm not sure if that's really comparable to 2+ hours of fully rendered cutscenes.Aiddon said:Or how it was nothing innovative when MK did it.
