/v/ - JACK FROST DIED FOR THIS

MKX is having a revival since people are expecting some sort of announcement for MK11 within the next few days.

Modern MK (and injustice by extension) is a bit of an acquired taste, but if you were to get it then make sure you get MKXL since that's the complete/GOTY edition with the extra characters.

If nothing else, you can always do Alien Vs Predator matches in the game.

MKX never really took off because netherelm kept releasing balance patches all the time, there is also only a few characters that are competitive.

>i don't know if there are still players active

People seem to be flocking back to it since Injustice 2's balance is a fucking joke and the game was going for super cheap on black friday.

>i also saw that it is filled with DLC shit

If you're going to buy the game get the MKXL edition it comes with all the DLC in it.

First: never buy. Always pirate.

Second: NRS is a company composed of leftists. Avoid anything made by them.

Third: SC 4 is one of the worst games in the franchise.

Fourth: Go look for better games. Especially older ones, since even the current japanese titles (always superior to the western games) are declining in quality.

>MK11

Mhm maybe I should wait for a while, I'm not in a hurry.

Even thought of getting smash brothers but no way im getting a console for a single game.

What do you mean by acquired taste?

Also does the game have any play modes besides multiplayer and the story mode?

>>15827396

I guess most games can't be balanced to be fair for everyone but i'll manage.

>>15827441

I'll check the price but won't go over 30€

>>15827512

I usually don't buy but i gifted my brother my pc since he needed one and I'm left with the ps4 he gifted me for my 21s birthday back then.

And I'm not really looking into buying another pc since there's nothing to play anyway.

How's Sc 3 didn't they remake it with an online mode?

And what other older fighting games are there that feature pvp?

Gotta go back to work other recommendations are welcome.

There was some sort of leak where one of the versions on sale was for the unnanounced new gen Xbox. So, don't bother waiting.

Fighting games announcement, specially Netherrealm ones, are made almost a year before release, so they can announce character by character and build hype in slow pace before the game is actually launched.

And if they keep going in the direction they're in, the game will become even more animu bullshito, with giant combos and all the gameplay gimmicks of the previous MK and Injustice tittles added, so, you should play then to get to know the basics before jumping in.

Here's hoping Boon will purge the shitty teen brigade of kombatants in the next game.

>since i never played a MK game

And you're going to start with a shitty, slow, modern one with non-traditional controls and non-MK characters? Just so you can play online with randoms? Don't be a nigger. At least play one of the originals (1, 2, 3, UMK3, or Trilogy) and find someone to play with. Netplay exists.

MK9 is better than 10 in all respects but as someone that grew up on MK I have to say stay the fuck away from all modern releases. The balance is pure fucking dog shit. Only 3-4 fighters are actually competitive in each game and the networking is attrocious with input delay out the ass for good measure. If you just plan to have some couch pvp fun then it's mediocre fun but if you wish to actually play online you're going to have a bad time.

>>158281879

Mhmm sounds like a lot of stay the fuck away to me. I could've understood OP chars that every cunt takes since I'm used to besting those players anyway. Connection delay, however, is a major no go for me.

>>15828131

I played the one with 3d controls but i don't think that one counts?

Fighting games in general are meant to be played with others and i don't have anyone to play these with.

Does MK:X have anything else besides multiplayer and story mode?

>>15828335

>but they turned the rest of the game politically correct

You are talking about the game with overly detailed finishing moves gore, where you can take away the intestines of somebody trough it's mouth with magic.

If you are talking about how both the Johnny Cage and Jax daughters sucks as characters, or about the gay archer that is a homo just on the devs head canon but there is no hint on the game itself, or how they suck to make female faces and only manage to make then pretty in the third revision when the game is almost launching, then you are confusing inconpetence with political stuff.

>>15828431

>confusing inconpetence with political stuff.

You saw the new outfits and their attempts at making mileena more human like? You are a pure nigger if you can't see how they try to turn this shit into an sjw game.

seeing as we're on topic and i never see this in the fightan threads

how do you deal with raiden's stunlock

i swear to christ, the moment i stop blocking i'm already down

>>15827557

Acquired taste is pretty much that, MK is a particular kind of 2d fighter with dial-a-combo systems, janky animations and other things that may turn off a player used to other titles in the genre.

From memory, the game has the story mode, arcade mode (with endings), standard multiplayer lobbies and a fair amount of challenge towers with randomised effects.

The truth is the best fighters are probably all available on Fightcade anyhow, and at least that has a small but dedicated community.

>You are talking about the game with overly detailed finishing moves gore, where you can take away the intestines of somebody trough it's mouth with magic.

SJWs and Hipsters don't actually care about gore. I'm pretty convinced the only people who care are soccer moms.

>playing american soyim games

HAHAHAHAHAHAH
