They really need to tone down the motion blur. It looks nice when done right (Latest patch for Killer Instinct added it and it looks swanky) but it's overkill as hell here and the visuals look super nice without it. Hope it's a trailer thing.

Game is fucking awesome and plays great. It already wiped the floor with 9 back in Alpha.

Also, NetherRealm are goddamn wizards with UE.

Also I love how dark toned the trailer music is so far, I hope it's all in game. Trailer in the OP had a beautiful guitar tone that sounded like impending doom.

Mortal Kombat X is to receive a new DLC pack in June that introduces Predator as a playable character, VideoGamer.com has learned.

According to our source, the DLC pack will include the sci-fi villain and Colonel Al Dillon, the CIA agent killed in the original movie. Carl Weathers, the actor who played Dillon, has allegedly offered his likeness for use in the game, too.

I'm pretty stoked. I shouldn't be. But the urge not to pre-order this thing is like the gaming version of the Temptation of Christ. The struggle is real, brehs.

Also they showed part of Chapter 1 on the stream last night.

So my youngest brother, who's back in Saudi, got this game 2 days ago. Man I forgot how early you can get games back there.

Anyway, he's an MK stan but also the only person I know who's played every MK release and completed them 100%. He's also an overall fighting game nerd. He'll definitely say it's awesome, that's a given. But the two things he told me about it that were interesting was that it's the most balanced of the past MK's that he played, and that it's faster gameplay wise. Both sound pretty good to me.
Hearing that it's faster makes me one happy dude

Also use Suspend/Resume on either console if you are doing story mode. There's a nasty bug where it just skips to the next fight if you quit story mode and resume later.

Releasing optional "DLC" unlock keys to unlock easy fatalities or unlock all of the game content is fine with me.  (I like the latter since I just want to play multiplayer and not sit there unlocking krap, although it's a ridiculous $19.99)

But releasing a patch that purposefully nerfs how much in-game currency you receive, making the unlocking process take much, much longer is not cool.

Also to note, do not buy this on PC!  The game is currently in a broken state and will not install properly for some users, making some content/characters/modes inaccessible.  People are also reporting shitty netcode and performance, which I would chalk up to High Voltage doing another sloppy port from.  They didn't do the best job on MK9 and Injustice PC either.   :-\

I need to try her again.  Did not really like her when I messed around in practice mode briefly.  So far I'm liking Ferra/Torr and Cassie Cage out of the new characters.   Online play has been working pretty well for me; most matches I tried had good connections.  Had several rage quitters-- sending a picture of the Quitality win screen shut one hate mailer right up.

Cassie is a lot of fun and it seems like she's the closest to Stryker we're gonna get so that's okay with me.

I'm liking Assassin Kitana a lot though when I looked online for some tips it seems everyone prefers her fan focused variation.

Why does picking Chapter 2 in the story timeline force me to rewatch the end of Chapter 1? Then hitting skip takes you past the Chapter 2 title card into the middle of a cutscene in Chapter 2. I think Injustice did this shit too.

Having to struggle through chapter 2 with Kotal Kahn was annoying as fuck. I don't understand him at all. Seems to have a bunch of moves that do nothing.

I'm liking Assassin Kitana a lot though when I looked online for some tips it seems everyone prefers her fan focused variation.

Used her a bunch, too.  I like that rush n' stab move (totally stolen and reworked from MK9 Mileena) -works great in combos- but I think the butt-bounce move the regular version has may be more effective.

I got rage quits when I used Kitana (from fan throws) and also a rage quit when I tried Jaqui and did machine gun fire.  Reminds me of Deathstrike in Injustice.   :lol

Kotal seems to be one of the hardest to "get" so far. Definitely a set up and meter burn kind of character. You need to be launching and grabbing ppl a lot as far as i can tell. Meaty damage if you can connect though.

Yeah her fans are ridiculous.  :lol I do like the butt bounce move, especially cause there's a ground and air version of it now.

If you want to be a noob-killer™, just pick Kitana and zone with fans or Mileena's default style and zone with sais.  Kitana can do fans on the ground and in the air and Mileena can do sais high/low in the ground and in the air.  Idiots who block will be chipped to death and the slightly smarter ones who realize they can duck Kitana's fans (without blocking) will quickly realize that time is running out.  Idiots who also try to jump constantly will find themselves getting shot out of the air.  The latter is what led to the first Quitality I got.   :lol

Cassie Cage is my favorite so far as well even though I can't seem to get the hang of any of her brutalities. Haven't been able to pull one yet.
Brutalities have been a pain for me to do in general (and I can pull off fatalities with ease)

I haven't really decided who I want to main as yet, though I did do a tower with Goro with his Dragon Fangs variation and I had fun using him last night

Ran into someone online who...just let me beat him 11 times in a row. I lost one game. I beat him 3-4 times in a row just using bullshit Sub Zero shenanigans (ice klone style & I've never used him before). I felt kinda bad around the third one.

Also, D'Vorrah Venomous style is nasty. All you really to do is be cautios and just go for normals. That shit will add up over time. If you do manage to land something nasty watch them panic and figure out where all their health went iff a 6 hit combo.

Story mode will give you a shitload first time through. I levelled up Black Dragon to 25 just through that. After that, it's dry pickings. Faction War will give you a bit more.

Faction kills need you at far fatality distance as well.

I've been using a hrap4 for this game ever since it came out, and my performances were not the best. I actually switched to the regular ps4 controller and it felt like a revelation. Either my stick is just defective or it just sucks. I kept messing up with it, i couldnt do combos well at all, I was starting to think that I was getting too old for this shit, but damn.

Playing with the ps4 controller feels like a dream after that.

You don't have to be good, period, to destroy the idiots online.  For example, yesterday I had a typical match against a brain-dead clod who picked Johnny Cage and whose strategy was to jump forward.  That's pretty much it.  He started off the match by coughing loudly then "singing" "I SMOKE THE WEED I SMOKE THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEED EVERY DAY" and then got super-pissed off when all I did was throw fans at him with Kitana and stop his jumps.  "YOU FUCKIN' CHEATER!!!  YOU FUCKIN CHEATER IMMA KILL YOU!!!!!" he screamed, as I sat there laughing my ass off and getting a flawless victory.

And that is the general population of MKX online.  MK9 was the same.  I think the general violence/gore hook of MK still draws players in who have no idea in general how to play fighting games.

Tanya seems pretty fuckin' awesome.  I haven't played this game in at least a month and got online and encountered one of many recent Mileena spammers.  Almost beat the guy with her.  Had a close fight with a Jacqui spammer.  Beat a pretty good Ermac player.  This character seems like she was made to be an "anti-spammer" and has the right tools to shut a lot of the krap you encounter online down.  Her styles also seem much more varied than the other characters.  I prefer the pyromancer style since she gets two ground and two air fireballs.  The character also has a Cammy spiral arrow style move and Chun's axe kick.  May have finally found my main or alt to Fera/Torr.
