My timing is way off when stringing combos. I'll be in the lab for a few months before I even attempt to compete. For me the X1 controller is either crap or I'm doing it wrong. Jumping across is a task and this full on sprint when trying to dash block is frustrating. Like others said graphics are great but I did get some lag/freeze up when doing certain combo strings, maybe due to it still downloading while I was playing. I'm gonna try that fight pad out but I'm a little on the fence with it missing a mic connection.

Yeah, the sprinting across the screen when I'm trying to dash block is frustrating me as well. It's gonna take me some time to get used to that mechanic, but it'll come around. I much preferred dashing to the sprinting stuff, but I'll adjust. Not gonna let that mechanic bog me down. I do wonder what the rationale and thought process was regarding the change in movement though.
 
Seriously, if you guys want to play easy mode to grab koins and unlock stuff, play as Goro. You can just spam punch walk, backhand blade attack, fireball and teleport stomp ad nauseum. Yes, it's cheap, but it is effective. :p
 
Worried first thoughts. Optimization doesn't seems to be that impressive on PC, since the game feels choppy even on lowest settings. Hoping that fully downloaded game + patch etc. would fix the performance issues..
 
- better visuals
- better menus and UI
- easier (too easy?) combos
- stamina meter implementation suspect
- super meter implementation might be a problem (re. easier combos)
- characters kinda 'mute' during bouts (they don't say much)
- "variations" gimmicky, as one of the three is usually the best / most befitting the character
- Goro being so combo centric (20+ hits are easier to pull of than in UMvC) and dealing so little damage is odd
- there's a glitch in the character select screen under the "?" box -- Shao Kahn's name is misspelt and some generic-looking Aztec doofus is in his place... sure it will be patched though :top:
 
The game is great, they just need to batch the wake up attacks and some few bugs. I faced a glitch in the Krypt where you must pull the levers to open a gate in the spiders lair, at first I was able to pull the levers but the gate didn't open because I have to pull the levers in some kind of sequence, when I knew the sequence I went back to the levers but I couldn't pull them, the notification the tells you to press X to pull doesn't show up, anyone faced this problem?
 
I absolutely love the game over all. It feels really good to play, kombos are smooth and hit boxes feel natural. I like all of the new characters except for Kung Jin. Story mode was a huge improvement from MK9 but still has it's issues. Disappointed that Kung Lao, Kitana and Liu Kang are still revenants at the end of story mode. Faction wars are great. New Krypt is fun. Still have to check out the living towers.

Overall, this game is just excellent.
 
They need to put a cap on how many people can join each faction. EVERYONE is Lin Kuei. There is pretty much no chance of any other faction winning at this point.
 
Well, it's awesome.
Collected my pre-order copy from Gamestop, got home, popped it in, 30 minutes patch and then I've been playing since without any sort of problem at all. It looks beautiful, and plays smooth, went through Story Mode with no problems, been hitting Klassik Tower, unlocking stuff in the Krypt and otherwise just had a blast with this game.

Can't wait for Tanya to be released. ^^
 
STILL waiting for my Import Edition to arrive :( I'm sort of salty about not getting a standard edition at midnight right now lol everyone's having a great time and I'm just sitting here waiting

I'm joining the Lin Kuei as soon as I open my UPS package. I made that decision 2 weeks ago anyway.

I went with the lin kuei just for the menus and background but anyways the game is fun but far from perfect. Out of 10 so far id give it a solid 7.5. Glad they changed the mechanics and ganeplay from mk9 because it will take me a while to get good again and used to and thus will make me play the game much longer. Mastering many characters will be very difficult. Also the graphics are very solid and vibrant but not groundbreaking. Also for some reason i cant pull of certain moves and i got a lot of input lag but i may just need to get better. The story so far is ok nothing to knock your socks off. The cutscenes are better than actually fighting tbh and i like fightable npcs they make fighting them more fun. More to be added once i spend more time with the game. But overall a very good experience so far.
