A brutality can be combed into, so at the end of that I would assume.

Hmmm.. guess I need to practice this.

 

[The Jackdog]

Ive had an xbox one since launch and I have heard of people doing it for major releases. Just never looked into how to actually make it happen. If anyone has any luck please send some info my way

Its pretty simple. I actually always just did it on xbox.com. At the bottom where it says United States, you switch it to where the game is available. Enter new billing information (i live in tianamen square and the captial of new zealand evidently) and charge your card. The exchange rate is about perfect, so itll say like 320 HK dollars and your card is charged 63something US dollars.

However, i do not really recommend it unless youve done it before, only because like i said earlier, i had some issues this last time, so idk if it still works or not. Id wait to see if someone does it often still does it.

Faction kills are unique to each faction.
Think there are 5 or so per faction.

A question I have myself is.... when do you use a brutality?

When it seems to be when the opponent has low enough health that their brutality attack will kill them. DUring the SOnya Blade showcase they did one of her brutalities without comboing into it.

...good for you? I had it crash on me a few times in the past couple days, including one time where I put my game on pause for ~10 minutes to take care of something away from my computer only to come back and see the game had crashed despite literally nothing happening. So I'm not going to trust High Voltage until I'm proven otherwise.

...Bad for you? Perhaps it could be something with your PC? I am not putting HVS on a pedestal but if your crashing that much there may be other reasons for it. Did you have that issue with Injustice also?

I'll have a go at practice mode tonight and set the hp of my opponent at 10%.
Let's see if I can just do a brutality input then without a combo first.

Varies from kharacter to kharacter, if I have read korrectly one of my boy Kung Lao's is simply his grab. So hit L1 when they have a slither of HP.

There are others

 

[Altairre]

it did have the option to enable it to be more familiar.

I think you're mixing something up here or I'm misuderstanding you. Injustice didn't have the option to enable a block button because that would get rid of crossups and give you an unfair advantage. It's also the reason I dislike the block button, it just removes so many options.

Doesn't the billing information have to match your card? Anyways, I may wait like you said to see if anyone successfully has done this for the game. Thanks!

On the move list it lets you know the requirements for each one, like for Johnnys first one you need to land 4 nut punches in one match, and end the final round with one, Mileena has a similar one with the ball roll, I think some are type specific too

 

[Smooth Operator]

Do we know if the game is up on Steam somewhere in the world ?

For real? Didn't even notice this then!

Oh well, just 2 more hours before I'm home again, going to order take-away diner and play till bedtime. My inner child wants it!

the billing info, not the billing address.

So mine would be like
card number
cardholdername
address of weird thing in china that sounded funny
made up phone number

and itd go through.

Just saying this again for anything who is perusing this thread and sees these posts:i do not think this works anymore.

Do I really have to stop by Best Buy today and pre-order the game just to get Goro?

Unless you want to pay extra for him later yes.

You're making it sound like my problems are isolated, but if you look online you'll see there are a lot of problems people have had with the PC version of MK9. I'm not alone in this. And my PC is a year-old desktop with a GTX 760 and a Core i5, so it's not like it should have any problems with this game. And, in fact, the game actually runs super well for me performance wise. But that doesn't excuse the other technical problems for me.

I only played like a half hour of Injustice PC during the free weekend, so I can't vouch for that version.

 

[infinityBCRT]

I think the original Mortal Kombat (reboot) took about 4 to 7 hours to complete depending on how good you were. There were a heap of road blocks though, including some pretty unreasonable / unfair boss battles and some ridiculous tag battles.

I agree that Ed Boon's promise of the final boss being a surprise ultimately amounted to nothing ._.

I enjoyed the road blocks in MK9 though. It forced me to learn the characters. In contrast, in Injustice I basically just button mashed my way through that story mode very quickly. I think the only fight I lost was the final one, a couple of times. It felt like 3-4 hours. MK9 took me a good 7-8 hours (easily over an hour on the last boss).

Hoping this one is more like MK9 than Injustice.

I think the first batch of games has a sticker on the box with ''Goro code inside''...

Without pre-order I picked the game up on Saturday, WITH code.

 

[Moff]

I didnt find anything in the OT, but since so few people talk about actually playing the game, is that not allowed, yet?

 

[Emouse]

Yeah you get all the info on the finishers screen, obviously you'll have to unlock more in the krypt to get the info on those but at least you start with #1, I've not got a clue how faction finishers work though

 

[Manu]

The copy of the game I have came with the code inside. This is the PS4 version btw.

Yeah, mine too, but it wasn't available yet when I tried yesterday.

I just redeemed mine. Thanks

No you don't.

I asked this earlier and Goro DLC codes are inside the box, you can just pick it up from BB Tuesday. That's exactly what I'm doing.

 

[The Albatross]

I wish that I knew how to play fighting games and really got them. It's a genre that passed me by shortly after the 16-bit era.

 

[B1gg_Randall]

I wanna play this game so bad right now.

You and me both.

Brotherhood of Shadows faction kills are super easy.

The first two are R2 left left or R2 right right, from far away.

MK is noob friendly. You can do cool shit without being good at fighting games.

Still no unlock times for consoles? Steam looks to be 1est tomorrow

Eh, I found those roadblock fights annoying. There are other single player modes for fighting the cheap AI. Just give me a little taste of the fighting without the crazy difficulty spikes you have to counter-cheese the AI to beat. That's not fun. I don't need that holding up story progress.

 

[Stranger In The Alps]

You and me both.

Same here. Nothing else can hold my interest right now.

 

[oneida]

I saw your avatar before your name and really wanted your name to be stranger in the alps
great reference

I bought the physical special edition, I'm a sucker for steel tins. So Tuesday morning for me ;_;

Same here. Nothing else can hold my interest right now.

Truth.

Been that way for me for quite some time, sure I dip into DOA5 for a few miniutes here and there but boy do I not give a fuck. Spending most of my time watching others play MK on Twitch.

Sad.

lol...

Does this game look any better than the last MK game?

Oh okay, I think one of the SF ones had the same input, when do you do them, at the time you'd normally do a fatality?

 

[The Jackdog]

Bummer, was hoping for an ori and the blind forrest 8pm situation.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

Does anyone know if you need to sync the ps4 phone app to your ps4 to use the app to buy this on the store and have the ps4 automatically download it?

Or will just logging into your psn on the app be fine?

 

[Nyx]

Yes indeed, when you would do a normal fatality.

Absolutely.

60fps 1080p fighting. You think?

 

[Circinae]

I'm quite impressed you enjoy and are able to play games at all, considering you're a large seafaring bird.

 

[The Jackdog]

so king of the hill is kind of like a tournament mode for small groups right?

Anything similar for local multiplayer? Like a pass and play kinda thing?

 

[Emouse]

Yes indeed, when you would do a normal fatality.

Okay thanks! good to know

 

[vg260]

Well, I'm basing that off PSN. I didn't think Xbox would be different.

 

[Azzawon]

I've preordered my Kollector's Edition from Amazon UK. Obviously it's due to arrive tomorrow, but it still hasn't been dispatched and the time now is nearly 4pm BST. Anyone else here in the same boat?

 

[The Lamonster]

1) Are there going to be klassic ninja outfits too like in the last game? Didn't see it in the OP.

2) When is the review embargo up?

 

[Kurtofan]

When can I redeem Goro?

 

[Circinae]

Anyone else here in the same boat?

I'm not, but they'll probably process it through the night and do it by courier. I've noticed they've been doing that a lot more over the past few months, rather than use Royal Mail.

 

[Marvel]

When can I redeem Goro?

Try now, others here have.

If it doesn't work, tomorrow for sure.
