Holy jeebus the netcode is awful.
Almost every match has input delay and sound lags behind the animation during fatalities. Yikes. And these are people with full green connection.

So far I've seen a lot of praise in this thread for Ermac and Noob, thinking I'll focus on those two and Smoke until Rain comes (please be first DLC). What makes them good? their combos? specials? speed? I plan on doing Story mode first so hopefully it makes me play as everyone and then I can come to a more concrete dicision. Would you guys say you can skip training if you jump right into story mode? If there's an achievement for completing training, I'd have to do it 
Just picked up my copy during lunch Grabbed the new official silver transformable controller too, looks real nice. Lame that it costs more than a freakin game though! Better be good! At least it comes with a charge and play. Can't wait to try it out on MK tonight!

i had a hard time getting into matches last night. I was hoping it was just overloaded (or that not many people were online at that point.)
The juggle potential in this game seems pretty awesome. If I may judge from 2 hours of play time last night, I think they nailed it. There's some dumb stuff, but it feels like its easily the deepest MK yet. On the fighting game scale, it's probably deeper than DOA, but nothing higher than that. Still, it's fun as fuck.

Thanks for the heads up on spoilers but do people really get spoiled on this stuff? Unlocking fatalities and concept arts are hardly spoilers IMO. Maybe some people just like to be surprised by what's unlocked?
Meh, I'm an economist

Eh I don't believe in "spoilers" without context personally, but I know some people love to click tags/links and bitch about them.

Hmm, I thought there was a mandatory install (PS3 version here) but when I put in the game it just downloaded the patch with no install. Weird.
Been playing story mode, pretty awesome so far - definitely captures what I like most about MK.

I cancelled my pre-order because IGN said the art style was stuck in 1992.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that as a justification for a poor score from a professional outlet.Gary Whitta said:

That's would be a plus in my opinion. MKII has my favorite art style in the series.The Lamonster said:

Just played a bunch of ranked matches (XBL). Seems to be a lot of input delay. Most of matches felt like playing underwater as well.
Will play more obviously so I can get a larger slice of matches, but seems not to be the best so far (not better than SSF4.
And oh too, Cage's counter X-Ray counters throws as well? I can't tell if it was lag, or it actually countered a throw. Seems dumb design on that, haha.

Considering the game is a reboot of a title that first game out in 1992 the art style seems totally appropriate to me, what a ridiculous thing to criticize.The Lamonster said:

I don't think you know what depth is, you're confusing it with a totally different concept. Probably perception, which most inexperienced people do when they start getting pretentious with what little they understand. MK could easily have the most depth out of any fighter or the least and you wouldn't understand what that means.

Wow. Total doucher post. At least explain to him why you think he is misguided.
And I'm loving Cyrax right not. Fun juggle combos for 40%.
Add to that the 6.0 in Presentation, because you can't skip cutscenes in the story mode.notworksafe said:
The hell with King of the Hill mode with has chibi-avatars and a full screen to watch entire matches (on top of that online was not touched at all, only a mention that there's some lag..and nothing else about modes, etc.), the animated menus, the pressing start to play classic music in the arenas, visible damage, the notifications in online-lobbies about who's winning..yeah, all those aspects in the presentation mean nothing because you can't skip cutscenes in the story mode.

Not being able to skip cutscenes sucks though. Not enough to warrant a decrease in score, but it sucks. I started in Story Mode and had to continue adjusting my controls... which I had to do from the main menu. Go back to Story Mode... cutscene... repeat.
Pretty lame but not a serious problem.
