They're way, way too late on this, but it looks like the Mortal Kombat X XL content is coming to PC.
Got KoFXIV but won't have time to pop it in until after Borecon this weekend. What's your thoughts overall after a few days with it Bork besides netcode? How are the new cast members?
Funny thing about the netcode. People have discovered that if you play Party Vs. (six players each control one character in each team), the netcode is great. I tried this last night, and sure enough, it was buttery smooth and felt pretty much like I was playing offline. There were a few tiny lag spikes here and there and the game froze once, although it responded again after a few seconds, but this insanely better than 99% of the matches I've played in the other vs. modes and in ranked.
Speculation is that SNK fucked up the synchronization functions in the other modes and this is something that they should be able to fix.
The new character additions are great with the exception of Xanadu. And I don't mean that he's a bad character, design-wise -he's totally the KOF Bore mascot- but that his moves and normals kinda suck compared to everyone else. I haven't messed with him since the 1.01 patch came out though, so maybe he's better. The 1.01 patch made everyone a bit faster, which this game needed, BTW.
There's a crap-ton of character variety in this game and I have no complaints on the roster. This is the first fighting game in a long time where I'm actually more interested in playing as most of the new characters over the returning ones, in fact.
