I played MK9 for the first time yesterday and it took me 9 hours to complete. Hour of that was probably ShaoKhan though.
MK9 story gmhas about 6 hours worth of content providing you can beat all the fights first time around.
I played it recently and I've finished the story about 6 or 7 times
No way in hell it is 8 hours, lol. At most, and that's with losing a lot to the last boss, it was like 5 hours.

Pretty sure there is no pre-load on Steam.

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 just hope there's nothing like the bullshit Shao Kahn fights in this game's story mode. Would prefer if there was nothing like the Goro and Kintaro fights either.
Outside of the Liu Kang v Shao Kahn fight, which bosses were unreasonable?

Is there a Chapter List anywhere and does it mention who is playable?
I might be remembering this wrong but wasn't there a Goro or Kintaro battle that was pretty fucking hard? But I admit I was mainly referring to the Shao Kahn battle.

Hey for the iPhone app, has anyone had trouble connecting in the last 2 days? Keeps telling me it can't get my online profile and I have to go offline.
Goro and Kintaro had such long recovery after their powerful moves that I never found them to be a problem, not even the tag team fight where you have to take on both at once as Cyber Sub-Zero.

Injustice was much shorter than MK9, too. But both Injustice and MKX have less filler and less dumb difficulty spikes.

Just wanted to know. This MK still uses the block button right?
How long to beat is usually pretty accurate, people must suck!

Hell, just beating Shao Khan on the Ladder at Medium difficulty was a painful experience. As long as MK:X doesn't have any bullshit of that magnitude in it's Story, I'll be satisfied.

Yep. Injustice didn't have a dedicated block button but it's back in MKX.
Yep.

yes, but it's also the run button.
it did have the option to enable it to be more familiar.

Just played 9 over the weekend it is way longer than that. 6-8 hours at least.

Again, does anyone know if can you preload the game on Steam?
5 hours sounds accurate.
You can't. People have been complaining about it in this thread.

The games have definitely gotten shorter, Mk9 was around 6-7 hours and Injustice was more like 5. I don't mind a shorter game if they have trimmed out some of the throwaway fights.
Unless things have changed in the past few hours it doesn't seem like there is a steam preload.

Bummer.
I am not saying MKX isn't shorter, I am saying there is no way MK9 was 8 hours long.
Really really hoping the PC port is better this time around. I was playing MK9 PC last night and it still randomly crashes from time to time despite getting a bunch of patches. I almost bit the bullet on the BundleStars deal but decided I wanted to see if High Voltage actually learned their lesson first.
and you have people in this thread, who completed the game as recently as this week (including me) telling you it took them exactly that long

For some people it definetly could, but that has more to do with the difficulty spikes than actual content. The cutscences were only about ~2 hours and every chapter had about 4-5 fights (except the last one which had less). There were 16 chapters so that would be ~64 fights. If every fight takes you 2 minutes to beat that's 128 minutes of gameplay. Which should make the whole story mode about 4-5 hours long. If you are stuck on both Shao Kahn fights for an hour each than you're suddenly up to 7 hours.

I recently (last week) put almost 20 hours in MK9 again. Not one crash or issue. Matter of fact I never had it crash on me since launch. Didn't have any issues with Injustice either.

¯\_(ツ
It didn't take nearly as long for me, what can I say?
To be fair, some people took 8-10 hours on The Order 1886. Dunno how that was possible, even on hard.
Mine still goes down now and again. The biggest complaint with the PC version was making the netcode even worse though. then obviously HVS's track record with everything they touch.

I am in the US. Wondering if I can buy the game on Hong Kong store and play on my xbox one?
...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.

Tried this last week with dark souls 2. Used to do it all the time. When i did it this time the purchase didnt complete and i had trouble signing in for like 20 mins. Tried the new zealand store though.
Idk if it works anymore.
I think the only issue I ever had was with Injustice, and that was if you set the shadows all the way to max it made the game play in slow motion. Turning that down one notch fixed it, and everything played perfect.
Never had a crash in either.
I also never played multi, so I can't comment on how shit the netcode was for me.

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

So let me get this straight
Each character has
2 Fatalities
5 Brutalities
But on top of that there are Faction Kills? Are these similar to fatalities? Are they unique to each character? Or are they unique to each faction? So a faction kill for the White Lotus Sonya Blade would be different to a faction kill for the Black Dragon Sonya Blade?

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

could never
They are Fatalities yes, different to each Faction.
And yes a Black Dragon FK is different to a WL FK. I believe within each Faction there are multiple ones you can use.
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?
