Why are you going to bring console war nonsense into a multiplatform thread? you are a mod you know better than that lol.
I really like how Raiden plays in this game, and he's probably one of the most likeable characters in an MK story mode ever.
So it is console war nonsense in the Starfield topic..
I would actually say it's funny that studios like MS and WB know which sites to make wait for the review code.
But anyways I'm holding off from getting this. I'll pretty much only play the campaign mode so will wait for it to go on sale or the inevitable ultimate Edition next year.
Seems a fair few of the combos are bugged as well.
I'm loving this game. I'm figuring out combos. So far I haven't had any trouble with combos not working. It looks beautiful and the story is great. Reptile is awesome.
This game isn't going to take weeks to play to review fairly, they didn't hold review codes back from Eurogamer while giving one to DF lol. You can review this with just a day or two of playing AND the release date isn't until next week, the only people who are playing it now are people who paid for the deluxe editions. You guys need to stop with the false equivalence stuff man.
As far as bugs I haven't had any combos not working but I have seen some framerate issues in the story mode from time to time but they hardly happen and are resolve quickly. The beta had a few bugs in it like the lights turning off in Cage's mansion lol so they were probably pushing it to get it out on time which is odd since they only announced it a couple of months ago. I'm sure WB wanted this out as soon as possible considering their financial situation.
The story is great. You could beat it in a day if you had the time.
I'm warming up to invasion mode. It's a good thing it's only one round for each fight in it. I get why each mesa is just one stage, because it reflects the location, but not sure why you fight the same 4 or 5 people.

You know EG and DF are actually separate companies right? DF even moaned about EG moaning about it. They just have an agreement to post DF stuff on EG as it gives both extra attention. Though now days I would say it favors EG more than DF.
It's like Giantbomb/Gamespot under the same company and at one point just across the other room from one another, but can't give each other codes.
Yes I do know they are different and that doesn't matter, they should have gotten them at the same time. Why would a clown like Colton Eastwood get one but not Eurogamer? lol Many people think DF treats MS favorably, they get a lot of access to MS and Richard clearly enjoys that. I haven't seen any other site posting videos of the people who run it posing for a photo with Spencer and his crew like the DF guys did. I'm sure all of the companies do things like this though and it's better to just admit it and move on than constantly try to defend everything they do.
Regardless though this isn't the thread for this conversation.
I wish they would bring back a bunch of Horror Guest characters as Kameos lol
Or at least 3D Freddy
Yeah they would be better suited. Or at least just use it for the less liked ones. Having Sonya as a Kameo is very poor.
Again, simply ask why several publishers know which sites to delay review copies for(even games that review well)?

Finally got it installed and played it this morning. Some animation sequences like Fatal Blows jitter a bit on frames, but I know my laptop is getting old. I have GeForce GTX 1060. Most of the game play is fine.
I have been a Raiden main since like '92 lol. It blows my mind to see how cool his powers look in this.
Still figuring out the gameplay and updated moves / combos. I didn't do the whole tutorial; just being impatient. I did Novice Tower on Very Easy CPU not to mess around.
Really looking forward to the Story Mode.

I finished the story mode today, loved it! Mortal Kombat always has a great balance of drama and humor and this one is no exception.
Some sites are obviously going to be favorable, something with xbox in the title for example, the enthusiast influencer types like Eastwood and that group of clowns all got it too. Sites that didn't get them seemed to be the ones that are willing to give lower scores.
At the end of the day I really don't care and I didn't bring it up lol but I do think it's silly to pretend that MS or any other publisher isn't going to try to manipulate metacritic on bigger releases, especially ones that could be all over the map.
It's easier to predict if a story based game is going to hit well with people than a game like Starfield which can give each person a very different experience based on how they played it. I said it in the starfield thread some playthroughs I really enjoy my time with it and others it feels like a chore. Running around a planet with one landing zone for an hour scanning things before I got to finally saw some action isn't a great experience and if the majority of my playthrough was like that I could see giving it a lowish score.
