The netcode is terrible on every NetherRealm game, regardless of platform. MK9, Injustice, MKX all have terrible netcode that doesn't handle latency very well. It's not like it's PC only netcode that sucks and PS4/XB1 have lagless amazeballs online.
As for the save issue, it sucks, but it's something that's mostly easily recovered on PC, especially with a mainstream game like MKX.

Some impressions for that bundle game, Left in the Dark: No One on Board:
Let's start with the length this time: As I write this, I'm actually leaving the game on for the third card because I finished it in 2.5 hours. Maybe I got spoiled by other hidden object games, but now that feels too short. (The fact that I have to idle a game where I got every achievement in order to get the cards backs me up on that.)
Anyway, the story is you play "Madam Detective" - yup. That's your name. They even call you that in the newspapers. (I can see a Showtime series like that. Madam Detective: Detective by day, brothel owner by night. But wait a bit, this game took place during the night. Maybe she runs a brothel for DAYTIME hookers? How pedestrian!) You're called to investigate a ship that was found without its cargo or crew. (But naturally you'll find some crew.) Along the way you run into a girl's ghost who more or less tells you to solve HER murder. So off you go to another island, leaving the dead bodies of the crew you found where they are - because fuck them, right? It's not like you were paid to look into their dea...oh. Oh yeah you were. Oh well! - and you look for clues to this other murder.
The hidden object scenes - I'd call them too easy but for the fact some of them contain a bullshit item that either looks nothing like what it says, or could be anything (no way in hell is that a "pin!" And the "glass shard?" Don't even get me started.)
The puzzles were pretty easy. Don't expect to strain your brain too hard doing them.
The voice acting was worse than usual. I mean, Kristin Price seems to be the voice of all these nameless female detectives, so to some degree you can't even question her anymore, but even her voice direction was bad. At one point the floor gives way under you and you fall into a trap. She gives a scream that sounds more like she sat on a bench she didn't realize was wet. The antagonist's scream was laugh out loud hilarious as he accentuated the "g" in "Aaaarrrrrrr-Gh!" And even the sound QUALITY was off. (Once again, I'm not a sound expert or audiophile, so when I notice changes in the - whatever you call it, balance? equalization? just the general timbre or whatever - then you KNOW you done fucked up.
The verdict: Um...it's got cards? And I'm still waiting...honestly I'd actually give this one a pass if I were you.

I blame the lack of sex education in this country. If people just used proper birth control, we wouldn't have script kiddies.

I just didn't get around to it (and only got it recently) but DISHONORED is great! It's has such a strong art style and is so mechanically polished, so far. I love being able to mount walls and tables with a button press and no fear of making a sound.

It may take a while though. I'm literally swimming in requests right now ;_;

One of the ID@xbox games I'm pretty interested in, hoping for their best.

Chances MGSPP gonna be region-locked on nuveem?
I just can't support this. It's way, way too close. Go buy Advance Wars - it's on the Wii U.

The last two metal gears weren't but who knows
I ain't got no Wii U, sir. I own Advance Advance Wars on my DS, but I want to play it on PC. (I know emulators exist, but I want a genuine clone).
It's like $58 at Brazil anyway.
C&D from Nintendo in 3...2...1...
That makes no sense.
hella subtle
Ashen cross post from an XBO thread.
Steaming it day 1. Only because it reminds me of Uedas games ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.
Actually, The Last Guardian is my most anticipated game of 2016 because it's Ueda work.
It's not going to be much cheaper than Steam brazilian price, and that one is 58$...
my bet is itll drop near release and that price is placeholder for resellers
basically same thing that happened with MKX

It's almost too close though man.
You know how much I want a new AW but this might be taken down or something.

If Oceanhorn can come out and nothing happens to it then I don't see how this game would be affected at all. It isn't as if Nintendo invented the turn based strategy game.

Wasn't/Isn't GZ way cheaper on Nuuvem compared to virtually everywhere else, bar the "free with purchase of MGSV" now on Steam?
I wouldn't bet on it at all. Because there's no reason to put a price that high in fear of resellers on the Steam page itself, and every single Brazilian buyer would refund his purchase before the release...
With MKX the Steam page price was alright, I believe.
what im refering to with MKX was on Steam as well
Fallout 4 is also 250 reais right now (ie 82 US dollars)
no game released like that. can't be right
or, it can, and then they suck, but it hasnt really happened

hmm looks kinda good
It has the same base price as the Brazilian Steam Store. Which is my point here.
Ayy add me on steam
You know, I've gone back to play the old ones and they just haven't held up for me. I think I got so hooked because it was my 30-minutes-before-bed game.
