X is fundamentally a better game and what Injustice should have been. That said I felt nothing but bitter hatred for Mortal Kombat X for quite sometime. Yes I bang on too much about the DLC but I feel like I am the only one who does. Between the microtransaction fatalities there is also the auto unlock DLC for all the Krypt content and that just ruins the spirit of the whole thing and makes it harder for people defending NRS games for their single player content to me. Yes they have a lot and that just kind of ruins it at least on the side of enjoying investing time unlocking stuff. Besides that take all of usual whining about its terrible DLC practices and put them in a basket. For the record I am aware a date is set for the fixed PC version but the fact remains that the game is still a mess on PC that used to be worse with the last patch being so bad it had to be removed making it a worse version of the recent Street Fighter V malware patch. Then take the other things it does wrong like screwing over the entire PC user base who gave the game a lot of sales in a basket next to it. All of that and more and it felt like no one but the PC fans that bought it complained about the game at all. As far as bad practices I summarized it as "Street Fighter X Tekken: Part II. Since it used a lot of the same shitty practices that game did being DLC heavy and locking content(I am ware as a buyer of that game that it had FAR worse than the way MKX did it since it was fully finished while MKX's was only partially so but it was still partially playable so it counts to me).
That game was a massive failure as it should have been. It was such a mess and to many is why Namco put horrible delays on their version probably for fear to avoid association though it also may be the console changes the industry took. I believe it cost Capcom around 2 billion dollars if memory serves and reports are correct and that makes me happy even if the game being ruined by that makes me highly sad. The fact that it has never been featured in Capcom's Pro Tour despite the fact that they should still have the rights to the game and push the tour hard should show what a failure it is. Out comes Mortal Kombat X doing what most sensible people could call bad DLC and some more debating on if its worse than the former and of course that game sells insanely well because its goddamn Mortal Kombat and for all it does to actually be a good fighting game to some the others just want the causal thrill of excessive gore and others only flocking to it because its a big name. Then it got fighting game of the year awards(get fucked) like I figured it would.

Let me clarify that again if you like Mortal Kombat X I ask that you keep doing that and just have fun. That is what gaming is about after all. Just though I should give more of a reason as to why I resent the game so much.

I bought MKX on PC and have had very little issue with it after about 210 hours logged. But that's almost entirely offline as I mostly get throttled online especially at this point. I mainly play to unlock the content. My PC technically doesn't meet the min CPU spec but I can still get 50-60 frames with max textures and some other settings lowered. Plus DS4 has native support in Windows 10 so it's the best of both worlds.

Next week can't come soon enough!

Mained that game from the time it came out till Revelator hit, absolutely awesome. If you told me a couple years back that Saya would be in a fighter and that it would come to the west I'd call you insane. Sadly very few competent people played it and even fewer stayed with it, it's one of those Japan/local community only titles like arcana heart...and hey it is made by the same folks and has Aino Heart in it as well XD.


Anyone up for some games on that as well speak up, I main Saya (obviously hehe), subs are Saber Muramasa Homura and Heart.

 

[PurplePonyArcade]

Thats a reason why coming to a new platform is a good thing late or not.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

It really won't matter unless it has cross play though. at best maybe a tenth of the people will be on it, and a tenth of mostly dead is still mostly dead XD. The people who tend to play these kinds of games competently enough already own ps3s since the games tend to be exclusive on ps3 most of the time. Love Max came to the pc too some years later but it didn't affect much sadly.

Everything needs crossplay to be honest.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

Yeah, at least thy have ps3-ps4 crossplay.

 

[PurplePonyArcade]

Sony needs to give off their high horse and start letting it happens with other like Street Fighter V(one of the few things that game does right that no one has any right to complain about) and I think Rocket League has that now?
Whatever, I just know of the people willing Sony is the least cooperative and Nintendo has not even put their cards on the table yet probably due to lack of interest on ports for their current platform. Even then I want to see more because its healthy for gamers.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

It isn't sony really. The developers aren't even bringin half the games to the pc so they have no plans for cross play. Some may get brought as an afterthought years later to milk dead games that nobody who is competitive plays any more but by that point they won't go on and add cross play where it wasn't before. They have to release the game with the desire for it to have it from day 1 and when they don't even plan to release the game on pc at all in the first place most of the time but only do it to milk casuals in the laziest form possible of course they won't plan for a cross play system either.

Still waiting on a sale before i dip my toes into street fighter on pc so got nothing to add atm.

But that I seem to be the only one who likes fatalities in Mortal Kombat.
Brutalities are cool too and might be better for the flow, but there is no better way to end a fight imo then sending the opponent into an acid pool or a bed of sharp spikes. Stage fatalities ftw, followed by the more gruesome vanilla fatalities for me. I guess I'm just a gore freak (in fiction anyways).

Despite the topic suggesting this is about all fighting games, its mostly excluded discussion on games like Mortal Kombat for anime/"dasher" games.

Actually I encourage you to talk about Mortal Kombat as well, and any fighting game you please, even if its strange stuff like Shrek Super Slam or ugh...Clay Fighter. The latter apparently having a remake that should have been canned now with the company selling off all its assets.

 

[PurplePonyArcade]

If I am not mistaken, and I am often, Mortal Kombat Armageddon still has the biggest fighting game roster ever?

Would help if it wasnt mostly you and Dreiko talking indirectly (quoting isnt a bad thing, it lets people know you are talking to them) about other games.

I sincerely apologize for coming off the wrong way. I strongly encourage a tolerance in difference in taste and in game and encourage you all to talk of the fighting games you love no matter what they are and talk whatever you please here as long as its orderly and relates to fighting games. Again, many apologies.

 

[PurplePonyArcade]

Huh, the day Mortal Kombat X on PC FINALLY gets fixed just so happens to be National Vodka Day.

I had no idea this game would come back or come out in the west! Was it on PC in 2011? All I know was it was a rare case of being both Japan only and Xbox 360 only which just comes off as an oxymoron to me.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

Actually, for a couple years the 360 was trying to win over Japan by bein the otaku system of choice. Stuff like Steins Gate, Guilty Gear Overture and Gal Gun all originated on the 360 but it was region locked so the west didn't realize that situation. Eventually they stopped though and then X1 happened, so now it sounds preposterous but for a couple years it would be the expected thing funnily enough. Hell, Arcana heart 3 didn't come in the west on xbox, only on ps3, but it did come out on xbox too in Japan. isn't that just bizzare lol.

That game is one I never heared of before which is not vey common XD. As it is based on a VN it looks right up my alley too. Cheers~

We all talk about the games we play, you know. I don't expect you to talk about games you have no interest in but likewise I am gonna talk about the games I am interestead in as well. I don't see how my doing that prevents anybody from talking about other games and I can't help bein passionate about games I am passionate about. As for quoting, I tend to do that when I think the information I present isn't gonna be helpful to anybody other than the quotee.


Though I did address the systems of MK in an older post here a couple pages back. The one where I talked about the difference that having access to all the moves at all instances makes for depth. I think nobody responded to it so the discussion wafted away but that is not on me who actually analyzed its systems and offered a reasoned point. So long story short, just talk about what you find interesting, nobody is stopping you XD.

 

[PurplePonyArcade]

I just want it to be clear that people are encouraged and by all means should speak of whatever fighting game related material they want here regardless of different tastes. So what if I was not the nicest to Mortal Kombat X? I still want people to talk about it. Regardless of what games I like and don't this is not about my personal preferences, its about people talking about the joy of fighting games, titles they like, asking for help, or whatever they please as long as it relates to fighting games.
Please do that and please have fun! <3

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]
