This is kind of a veiled criticism. But not really, as I don't mind the game's "A.I." patterns, largely because I don't actually play against it myself; rather, letting my hapless co-players beat the story mode for me as sit back and I watch, in utter hysterics! But, will the game's / NR's now trademark, insulting, cheating, trolling CPU patterns be back for MKX?
NB:
If you're unsure of what I'm referring to (which would mean you've likely never seen an NR game played versus its "A.I."), I'm referring to that predictable pattern where playing against the CPU opponents in story mode (arcade too, probably) increase in difficulty gradually over about 3~4 matches and then suddenly hit the "win button" and avail 'god mode', proceeding to wipe the floor with the player. This is then followed by letting the player win the subsequent bout, as if it were trolling them (literally: the CPU opponent has even been known to just stand there, like a training mode dummy, after pulverising the player, 'Flawlessly', only one match prior!). This happens without fail and irrespective of opponent being fought. The formula does vary, however -- sometimes it takes half-a-dozen bouts to get the broken opponent to activate or sometimes the CPU will remain unbeatable for more than a single match thereafter. But it's always there and I doubt anyone's ever beaten an NR game's story mode without continuing or availing some kind of cheat or exploit.
