I found my 360 controller unusable. There's a guide to enable the PS3 controller to function just like a 360 pad (plug and play), but I can't find it. Hopefully someone else can track it down.

WARNING: unorganized, unpunctuated impressions inc
* played about 5-7 hours yesterday (lost track) and beat the story mode on "Easy"
* had to lower the difficulty to "Beginner" for the last fight
* died many times even on Easy
* wireless 360 pad
* look at the inside of your index finger, you see the first line that goes across? the part that presses RT on the controller. that part of my finger is super sore and red color, just from one day of playing
* i'd say like half of my offense, half the damage i did, was just the uppercut
* it was very frustrating when skills don't work and you keep trying and trying and they don't register. maybe it's the 360 pad but most likely i'm just terrible. i'd like to finally play a fighting game where this shit just works. i remember the first time i was scorpion yesterday, looked up his move list for the spear, and i must have tried it like 10 times before it finally registered. i was pressing exactly what it asked. these games are not for baddies such as myself
* the amount of content in the game is unreal, loving it
* tried one online match last night after beating the story and the guy got flawless victory the first round and i hit him 2 or 3 times the second round
* overall the story mode was well-made and meaty, especially for a fighting game which aren't known for having narratives. but i must say some of the fights were just frustrating, they weren't fun. a lot of the time i wasn't having fun, especially the last third of the game. the fights with noob saibot with his teleport slam thing felt like work, i just wanted it to be over, if it wasn't the middle of the night i'd have been raging out loud. the longer i played the faster i wanted the story mode to end. i couldn't believe how many times that raiden's artifact
* graphics were pretty poor, lots of low-res texturing and low-poly models. cut scenes were especially bad. of course i expected this since all the assets were created for 7-year old hardware
* overall, well worth the $22 and change i paid for it. i'd have paid full price $29.99 too. excellent port at a good price, despite being a couple years late. i hope Injustice gets a port

Xbox controller is terrible for this.
I installed motioninjoy to use the ps3 controller, felt much better though.
I uninstalled the motioninjoy drivers, but what a nightmare they are to get rid off, they kept installing again over the top of the 360 wireless controller, just a warning.

I started using the stick too. Sometimes I even switched in the middle of matches, multiple times. I guess it depends on the move.
Kano is great with the stick.
I will look for it. Thank you.
I don't want to go OT up in this, but motionjoy on my laptop- when I tried to use my DS3 via bluetooth last year, fucked up my BT drivers(BT was not found on system level) and I couldn't get it to work. I may be the only one tho.
I must train harder!

nobody gets this or something similar? Am I pressing right trigger too hard or are my fingers just not used to fighting games (haven't played one since SF4 PC years ago)

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
Bought it. Played it for a little bit (50 percent done with story mode). The humor is as sharp as it was hyped up to be. The whole thing is tastefully macabre. Cutscene compression is ass. Aside from the ninjas, I think a lot of the models are ugly. Overall, I'm having fun.
I hope MK10 is something completely different and maybe a bit more sophisticated in terms of gameplay and design (though I guess that would be too polarizing).
Got this too. I didn't realize it was connected. Me stupid.

Does anyone else get this visual C++ crash constantly? Really sucks that the online portion is pretty broken.

I have never installed motioninjoy drivers because I have heard its impossible to get the drivers off. Can you please post the steps you took to remove them and get the 360 pad working?
Also just to verify once you install motioninjoy you can't use your 360 controller until they are gone right?
I've always been able to use my Xbox and PS3 controller at the same time with Motioninjoy.

Just wondering for people who are having issues with their 360 controllers-- are you using default drivers or custom drivers? I imagine this game was only tested using the default drivers.
Once you install the motioninjoy drivers is there anything else you need to do to get the controller to work in MK?

Love the game, but I just cannot get used the blocking using a button. It is ingrained in me to block by pressing back and I am finding it pretty hard to not do that (so many defeats caused by holding back expecting to block 
). Other than the known (by players - not sure by devs) online issues (and the graveyards horrid performance compared to other levels), its a bloody good game.

Also.
Didn't see it posted here so just in case people don't know.
You can force Ambient Occlusion via NVidia inspector using the Gears or Wars, Mirrors Edge and Warmonger flags (I find Warmonger to be the best), simply set the AO flag to Warmonger, the AO setting to HQ and the AO usage to enabled and you can have some nice AO (if you like that sort of thing).
Little comparison.
AO off.
AO on (Warmonger)

Worked for me, thanks man! Now I can run this pretty well as opposed to barely 60 at 720p with everything off. Still wish they'd patch this shit port, can't believe I had to do all that just to get a product working that I paid for.
Though really, 10 people online makes me wish I never bought this.

Okay, I'm fairly comfortable with most PC settings, but AO always confused me. What is it, exactly?
Releasing game after 2 years while its being sold for $15 new on console is not helping either.
Waiting for the eventual blame on piracy.
that is just sad
Steam says that just under 4k people are playing. May be try ranked matches and other modes instead of lobbies??

I have absolutely no problems with the 360 controller on most if not all modern games that support it. Hate to sound like a broken record and bring this up again, but the only time I've ever encountered issues with the 360 controller is when using a custom driver which doesn't account for the deadzone properly among other things. Haven't tried it out yet on MK9 but I definitely want to now after seeing more than a few complaints about this.
infinityBCRT
Member
Yeah good point. I don't know why people are trying lobbies-- those are like a hold over from the PS2 era and only was useful for MK9 because matchmaking was broken for a solid month or two when the game launched on consoles.
Oh no, don't think that this game didn't sell well because of the lack of people in lobbies. I think we've already established that it having a concurrent peak of 5,200 players means that it probably sold well enough to justify the port despite it being so damn late.
Matchmaking doesn't let you choose your opponent, and anything under 4 bars in this is laggy as shit. That's a pretty damn good reason why lobbies > matchmaking IMO

Ambient Occlusion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_occlusion
Ambient occlusion is a method to approximate how bright light should be shining on any specific part of a surface, based on the light and it's environment. This is used to add realism.
The best way to see what it does is to take my 2 pictures and switch between them (best putting them in 2 tabs and going back and forth).

Look around the grass areas and the bumps on the trees etc, it adds more shadowing to places that should look darker.
Looking good. I've just RadeonPro'd it in after your first post about it with no perf drop.
ed: Btw...is the audio 5.1? And when everything regarding volume is on max it is still pretty low for anyone else?

Damn, just remembered that most PC gamers are still used to lobby select instead of matchmaking . One way or another, seems like most people are using matchmaking with this game.

Max volume in this game is low as fuck and I'm using Stereo speakers.

It is the 360 dpad. I exclusively used a gamepad for fighting games right up until the 360's dpad completely ruined everything. What a piece of garbage. Now I have to use an arcade stick.
I don't get the comment about the graphics though. The PC port looks even better than the bullshots they released a few years ago. The lighting is excellent and the IQ is flawless.

On consoles and Vita it was hit or miss just like it is here, I guess they just had a bigger population so I was finding more 4 bars. I honestly don't think they changed a thing about the netcode from the console version in this port.
To people complaining about your inputs not working when you're using a 360 pad... this is clearly a user error. Get a better controller because that thing is worthless for all fighting games.
Posterity?
Quick and dirty 360 controller mod that helps stiffen up the d-pad and makes for more precise inputs. It's the first thing I do when I get a new controller.
Materials required:
• philips screwdriver (for the wired controller)
• cereal box

Yeah, It's the best story mode I've ever played in the genre. Most fighters don't even put a fraction of the amount for their story/campaign modes.

For some reason this game does not like my wired 360 pad at all. I have a shitty D-pad, so I'm trying to use the analog stick but it's twitchy as hell.

4 dots and above otherwise it's the worst F N online experience ever, even SF4 was playable at 3 stars, I am happy I paid $22.50, I probably won't get into this like i did with SF4, I thought 360 D-pad with SF4 was horrible but this game makes the experience i had with SF4 look awesome, so many dead zone with the 360 D-Pad, I do stuff and nothing...
This is the worst launch trailer I've ever seen.

lol it's just the commercial from two years ago. I think it's awesome.
It is literally the worst thing ever.

360 controller is really, really bad for this game for some reason.
I actually have greater success pulling off combos in SSFIVAE on my 360 pad as compared to this game.
The game is really twitchy with it for some reason. Inputs aren't being handled properly. Before you ask, yes I'm running the game at a locked 60 FPS. No framedrops.
Also the apparent lack/smallish deadzone is really maddening as well.

I'm surprised they haven't come out yet to be honest.
Some of those models are already skimpy enough as they are.
