How fast can one unlock this? I'm sorry if it offends series purists but this is actually a game changer for me lol

You need special tokens for easy fatalities. One easy fatality uses 1 token and I only had 5 tokens after 8 hours of play.

But the regular inputs for fatalities are easy enough this time around!

No steam preload = very unhappy me come game day.

High Voltage Software are probably still optimising the netcode as we speak to make sure it hits their personal high standards.

Spoiler

Yeah, I couldn't say that with a straight face

When is this embargo shizz? I actually want to hear if HVS have done the unthinkable and made a good port so I can buy this while its still at double figures at some point.

 

[The Demon Headmaster]

Has anyone in EU been able to preload it on PS4?

 

[Marvel]

Shoutouts to Steam only unlocking MKX tomorrow at 6pm UK time.

That's terrible.

 

[kitschbeam]

Can't wait

 

[RedEther]

are you a competitive player?

There is a difference between casual decent and competitive decent. Casuals said marvel 3/injustice netcode was decent as well.

I'd say semi-competitive I play online and don't go to tournaments because I'm cheap.

UMVC3/Injustice netcode is shit tier imo. Best netcode is KI and SC5.

 

[Hasney]

That's terrible.

It's pretty common. Everyone will probably unlock at the same time worldwide.

Ah, if I was a PC gamer that shit would drive me insane.

 

[Methos#1975]

If they had it up for preload, this wouldn't be a issue. They really dropped the ball hard here.

 

[K.Sabot]

Shit's like 40 gigs too, even when its released the majority will be waiting for hours to play.

 

[publicpwnerer]

$99 AUD for digital, or $69 AUD physical.

Man, decisions decisions.

 

[dreamfall]

Beautiful OT!

 

[Lord Phol]

Sweet! I'm super hyped for this! No idea who I'm going to mess around with first, they all look great, might just start off with Story Mode to get a good feel of the cast.

 

[NEO0MJ]

That's terrible.

Yeah. Last few PC games I bought at launch allowed me to preload so this sucks. And the game size is huge so I won't be able to play it until the next day.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I guess the lack of preload plus the 6pm unlock means that I won't be playing this tomorrow.

 

[bodeiseifer]

Has anyone in EU been able to preload it on PS4?

no, i thought all ps4 games were predownloadable, which sucks for me as I have rubbish slow Internet

 

[Gherid__lacksGPS]

Hope there's at least some dedicated pc players.....

Sorry to hear that

 

[Rizsparky]

That's terrible.

Yeah, annoying as hell. People have been playing the game since saturday morning.

 

[Spy]

I'm usually against guest characters but with the inclusion of Jason and Predator, I can't help but hope for Alien along with the return of Freddy Krueger.

 

[Methos#1975]

I am hoping to be, all comes down to the netcode

You can also tag moves to show up on the screen while you're fighting so you don't have to memorise the button combos for fatalities or stop to look in the menus.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I'm still waiting for Ash (Evil Dead) to join up. But I'm expecting Spawn to pop up in the 2nd DLC pack, if it happens (Most likely.)

I feel Boon wouldn't pass up on such an offer from Todd McFarlane.

 

[Nyx]

Ah I always pause now to check the move, thanks for this!

Come on really,what a nice feature.

 

[Nestunt]

when does the review embargo lift?

 

[Noisepurge]

Has anyone in EU been able to preload it on PS4?

yeah, but i did buy the USA version of the game

 

[DrBo42]

Hope there's at least some dedicated pc players.....

Not sure about that one. Wasn't the PC port done by a different studio? High Voltage or some sort?

 

[A-V-B]

super psyched

let's go PC!

 

[MMaRsu]

Ehh I want to pick this game up but not being able to play anyone from the US or Asia sucks fucking bigtime.

Seeing as most of my PS4 homies are international.

It really does suck not being able to play with our friend Karupt because of this tbh. Most of my buds are EU though, which is lucky I guess.

Hoping for this lock to be patched out...

I've playing MK9 on PC for the last few days, theres still quite a few people playing. Though its a needle in a haystack trying to find a player with a stable connection.

I miss your old avatar already.

Should do a match online, if I win, you take your old avatar again! ;-)

 

[DryvBy]

I just cancelled my Import edition on Amazon and went with the original. It broke my childhood heart.

Anyway, I'm ready as I'll ever be!

I'm down for that lol.

You are talkin' of the Shao Kahn one right and not my old Dog in a suit one?

 

[Hasney]

when does the review embargo lift?

I keep trying to find out, but googling doesn't bring anything. Official forums are hilarious, "Who cares what people who are paid to review games think?" Well, uh, the PC version is made by High Voltage so you bet your ass I'm waiting for a review before putting any money anywhere near it.

Ehh I want to pick this game up but not being able to play anyone from the US or Asia sucks fucking bigtime.

Fuck, I forgot about that.

Does anyone know if it's done by region you're in, account region or by the region of the game? PES handles it with the latter and it's a pain in the arse.

Got burned many times from pre-ordering. Never from Netherrealm, but still, made it a rule of mine

it's the same as MK9 and Injustice were. But i don't know, haven't played either much online. My money would be on region youre actually located by IP.

 

[Marvel]

Dispatched!

Dog in a suit!

Just looked up the MK9 situation and on console at least, it's based on the region of the disc/download.

 

[Marvel]

Dog in a suit!

Ohhhh, I kinda miss it myself. Here's what we'll do, I'll change it now BUT I shall still fight you to the death come release day ;]

I'll send you a FR now.

Which platform are you getting, friend?

It depends on the region of the game I think.

Not gonna happen, Injustice worked the same way. Its their horrible netcode shit or whatever

Damn... was really looking forward to playing some people.

 

[Septic360]

Anyone tried going online with this? What's the netcode like?

 

[Hasney]

The netcode is pretty decent imo I played 26 ranked matches last night and only one laggy match.

Console though, so if you're on PC, wait.

 

[Moaradin]

I hope anyone buying the PC version knows that they are getting into. MK9 and Injustice had some of the most garbage PC ports I've seen in recent years.

 

[Rizsparky]

I just dont understand why there isnt a preload option for the steam version. Its a massive download which will be a real bummer for those without fast download speeds.
