-Where is there going to be a bigger community?

-Not sure which system of my friends are getting on..

probably biggest community is ps4, but i think its region locked only while x1 is open and x1 is the "tournament" console or something with ESL.

Story Mode impressions:

Kung Jin apparently

Spoiler

came out of the closet

and Raiden was all like "Bitch, I know." Kung Jin just piqued my interest 1,000%.

I love how they made Cassie

Spoiler

the next true "Champion."

Endgame:

Spoiler

It's all Raiden's fault again LMAO. Liu Kang and Kitana didn't get much to do in the story but I guess they'll all be front and center come the next game.

I have to say that I applaud Netherrealm Studios for showcasing 12 fully voiced past and present female fighters. Everything felt equal, you were never in fear of thinking, "When will the girls finally get something to do?" like in other games of different genres. Even cameos from Tanya, Sindel, Li Mei, and

Spoiler

Sareena

are put to good use.

Spoiler

Frost

got one line but she's lucky to be alive lol. Job very well done!

Nice impressions!

 

[Wynnebeck]

I'm gonna be SF.

Brethren! Lol

 

[JackEtc]

Stuck in class all day, and wanted to be able to play at midnight, so despite no reviews being out yet, I said screw it and pre-ordered on the Sony webstore, so I could remotely start it downloading....but I got an error saying my PS4 doesn't have enough storage -_-

Wish you could manage/delete games off the PS4 remotely too haha

I never trust PC to have a long lasting community for fighting games. Street Fighter IV, Mortal Kombat all had smaller online community than console versions. I personally think PS4 will have the biggest community. It seems to be the system for fighters with GGXRD, BlazBlue, USF4 and SF5.

i should note "faction wars" is cross platform so whichever faction is winning is winning across all platforms

 

[ohhthegore]

Female designs are way, way better this time. No bikini stripper ninjas this time, and Sonya is actually wearing stuff over her now-normal-sized breasts. Also I think this game looks good (from screens and video), I also disliked Injustice.

I feel like I'm going to be the only person who misses the bikini stripper ninjas. Give me some DLC for it or somethin

 

[zlatko]

I had plans to do nothing tomorrow since I work from home.

Derailed.

I have a lunch meeting, a designer meeting, and a store front meeting.

; ; Why !

<_< Real talk though. Come MGS5 release date, that whole week I'll be MIA.

 

[RSTEIN]

I caved & bought it on GMG with 20% discount code... praying for PC to be good! COME ON NETCODE!!

 

[ZangBa]

I will be joining Lin Kuei, because I like snow and heard it changes the title screen. C:

 

[NegroNinja]

[RSTEIN]

I'm streaming again twitch.TV/negroninjas

[NegroNinja]

Woops my net went crazy for a sec bouta start again.

 

[Louis010]

I miss them too, I'm glad they are out of the story, but I wish they was in as alternate costumes

You have my sympy dude.

 

[A-V-B]

My face when no one wants to be Special Forces with me. ;__;

I'm going Special Forces.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

So when is the exact time it will unlock for xbox one?

 

[Lord Phol]

Here's the archive of that Conan stream: http://www.twitch.tv/teamcoco/v/4026226

It starts at 34 minutes.

Haha love this, Conan playing video games is such a winning concept!

 

[Dr. Buni]

I feel like I'm going to be the only person who misses the bikini stripper ninjas. Give me some DLC for it or somethin

I'd be okay with that if they also give us an option to block players who play using the bikini outfits in online matches. They should also give alts for the male characters, all of them should wear only underwear in their alts. If you want to do fanservice, do it right.

 

[A-V-B]

Haha love this, Conan playing video games is such a winning concept!

It's not Conan himself though

 

[Brian_FETO]

So Takeda is Omega Red? Rad

 

[thatJohann]

2:00 PM PST

Today or tomorrow?

 

[Lord Phol]

It's not Conan himself though

He's there at the end which is also the good part!

 

[Troubled Bat]

So Takeda is Omega Red? Rad

Basically. But a whole lot better.

 

[OricWindstar]

Today or tomorrow?

Today, though this is all coming from a post earlier in this thread. Should be up in about ten minutes!

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

It's not Conan himself though

He comes in later

 

[Drewfonse]

Today or tomorrow?

Waiting on an answer for this, too. Something tells me tomorrow...

 

[OmegaDL50]

There is no Shirai Ryu faction?

Who is Takeda supposed to represent?

 

[NegroNinja]

I don't think I've ever played this good before.

 

[Majestad]

There is no Shirai Ryu faction?

Who is Takeda supposed to represent?

Special Forces

 

[Troubled Bat]

There is no Shirai Ryu faction?

Who is Takeda supposed to represent?

If there was a Shirai Ryu, there would be no need for other factions. Lol

 

[Pics_nao]

Wait, really? Lmao. Dodged a bullet just now. Thanks.

 

[geomon]

I wish there was a Shirai Ryu, that way the Lin Kuei could massacre them again.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I will be joining Lin Kuei, because I like snow and heard it changes the title screen. C:

Was going to go with White Lotus, but that just sealed the deal for me. Lin Kuei it is.

Polygon review: Mortal Kombat X is one of the best fighting games in the series.

Score: 9

 

[BearPawB]

polygon 9/10 http://www.polygon.com/2015/4/13/8364929/mortal-kombat-x-review-PS4-Xbox-One
"Mortal Kombat X is friendly both to casual players who want to experience its rich suite of single-player content and knock around with some friends, but deep enough for competitive players who want to plumb its roster and variations. It's a robust, feature-rich competitive fighting game that hones what's worked for NetherRealm Studios in past games, and even shows hints of restraint and maturity amidst the gory hyper-violence. Paired with an ambitious online meta-game, Mortal Kombat X is one of the best fighting games in the series."

 

[Karak]

I will be posting mine in a bit. But it is pretty sweet with a couple problems.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Just watched a dude on twitch play about 10 online matches, and only one of them he said had input lag. There is hope!!!!

 

[Horseress]

So MKX's preload size is just 3GB....this can't be right

 

[tokilamockingbrd]

what are expecting for reviews?

 

[stn]

The snippet of IGN's review says its the best MK yet. I'm expecting 8.5+.

 

[Gunslinger]

Jwong streaming Mk right now. He is also reporting a terrible netcode.

 

[RedEther]

I'm gonna say 9.1

 

[Xevren]

He is getting pretty frustrated, unable to even get special cancels.

 

[NegroNinja]
