yep, unplayable online.
just played some matches with my buddy who i play KI with all the time and it's like he is in the same room as me. mkx was terrible. you cuold tell immediately in the character select screen. it was laggy as shit selecting characters.
such a let down, i'll give it more of a chance as i have more free time, but i'll probably get rid of it while it's still worth something.
You still won't buy this game for $10
The link worked fine on my S5
Exactly and I don't understand the attitude. This has been the norm for almost 10 years now going way back to the 360, where dlc was released pretty commonly. If someone wants the game they will buy the game because extra dlc doesn't make the game. People who complain about it endlessly likely weren't going to buy it anyway and just want to rant online. I see it all the time.
Yeah I know what you mean. If you do get that app going I'd be interested in using it myself. Be easier than trying to look up a website or flip through a hundred pages I print out.
I just beat the story mode and thought it was well done but enjoyed MK 9's story more. This seemed a little like Mortal Kombat: The Next Generation with the large focus on the character's children. Also, the main villain was rather blah. I did do a good job of introducing the characters and the worlds though. Perhaps next time they should make it less linear and allow you to select different characters to play the chapters. Or create an alternate story where you play as the villains.
I haven't really picked a character to get good out so I've avoided online play so far but from what I have played I've enjoyed and it is the best Mortal Kombat game to date.
i actually have put 0 time into MKXjust been busy with the kid and spending some free time working on that app. i really don't know if i will either since online play isn't viable. i don't want to dig into something that i can't compete against others in. i couldnt care less about single player and story mode and all that stuff. i just want to play another real life person and have a competitive match.
with input lag, there are things that work online that simply aren't viable offline. that is just a fact of the matter. things aren't as reactible online as they are offline, you can't hit confirm because of the input delay, etc. there are multiple things that just make it "different".
there is a reason that guy did a bunch of random teleports - because online, you can't really react block most of them. you have to block in anticipation of it, which is retarded.
and to me that "difference" makes the game not fun.
if you can have fun with it, go for it. but to me, it's not fun at all (what i have played so far, which is 2 online matches) and it's pretty much unacceptable to me. what i find unacceptable others find "good enough" or "playable" and hell, some people think it feels no different than offline. those people, it's clear they have never played any GGPO game or KI.
I play the game online with 3 friends, 2 are local the other lives in Wisconsin and I'm in ohio. Sometimes I notice the input delay but most of the time I dont.
I have a blast playing online, was worth the buy for me
A little combo I've been practicing for Kenshi. Can't do it 100% but it's pretty decent when it works. 10 hit, 35% dmg, 1 bar of meter
