BANALITY
Do we know how well netcode is programmed?
people poo poo this, but it's the reason that i did not purchase this game today, and probably why i won't own mk9 until it's in the $29.99 or less greatest hits bin, which will probably be a while. nonetheless, this will not be fixed--don't care what anyone says. mvc3 didn't fix their online connection problem, and capcom has way more resources than NRS. yes, WB is their parent company, but i'm very let down that mk9 was released in this condition, and it's the reason that i have little faith that they will correct the online server problem.
yes, i was a hater of the NRS team and mk9, but i really do love the mortal kombat franchise and i don't like to see it presented in a less than stellar fashion. if NRS didn't know already, online is the most important feature of any competitive game that gets released; if your online is trash, then you gotta work harder. if they don't fix the online problem, which i don't believe they will, then mk9 will suffer the same fate as all of the other console games created by the mkteam.
mk9 is a beautiful game, but no one likes a butterface game.
I agree with what you said about no one likes a butterface game, and how online is the most important feature... however I disagree on what you think of NRS. I believe they will fix the situation within the week.
