MULTIPLAYER
In the dozens of matches of Mortal Kombat X that I've played online (via a wi-fi connection), I've experienced a wide variety of technical performance. Some early matches felt a bit sluggish, while others had a handful of full-second delays in action as the networking code caught up. But recently, the game's online performance has seemed solid; I've experienced a few fights that felt almost indistinguishable from offline fights. We'll be keeping an eye on the game's online performance at launch.
An online component of the game we haven't spent much time with is Faction Wars, the persistent meta-game. With Faction Wars, players can join one of five groups, and simply by playing the game both in single-player and online multiplayer, contribute to that group's global standing. Virtually everything a player does in Mortal Kombat X contributes to their faction in some way, adding experience points to the overall pool. Players will be rewarded faction-specific rewards if their chosen group is at the top of the global weekly ranking, but we haven't experienced those rewards ourselves or seen what material benefit they'll have. It also remains to be seen if the Lin Kuei (Sub-Zero's group) will ever not be the game's dominant faction, as it's currently the faction most players seem to have aligned themselves with.
Hmmmm... It could be that it's improved after the early patches. It could also be that Wifi connection :PQuote:

Yeah pretty terrible launch. From what I can see, they're using some new streaming method to download the game while you play, and it appears to be completely broken. This very well might be Steam's fault though, but who knows. Guess it's just as well I haven't gotten my keys yet.Quote:

HAHA! Exactly! I've never launched the game until it's fully downloaded. I think the problem here is that the new updates are being performed in-game so there isn't anyway around it.Quote:

So you had what looked like a model car racing around the track, with no textures. I think [MENTION=9789]DieGrootHammer[/MENTION] had the same problem, was worth a laugh at least :PQuote:

Let's hope that works. I'm almost finished downloading and also need to copy the installation for friend waiting. I have a feeling it will still try to download everythingQuote:

Was load shed last night as well as this morning, literally the only thing i managed (after all night install before downloading those packs) was to go into a 2 player lobby and either play as scorpion or sub zeroQuote:

So another night of no playing it seems...
At least i can practice my wombo combos xD
Actually fuck it, gna download it at work... Will still be quicker than waiting to get home tonight and then bam loadsheeting again
I'm right there with you buddy. Owing to the size, I simply can't install it. I feel so stupid for opting for a retail copy, I may as well have gone for the GMG special where you could get the game and Kombat pack for $61. Ag well, you live and you learn. If I am lucky I'll be playing by the weekend. Assuming there will be power to do so...Quote:

This game is so awesome! Iv started the story component which is surprisingly good! Im only on chapter 4 so not to far in, but what i have played has been really well put together!
The fighting styles have changed quite a bit, you can see they pushing the combos hard. A few players styles have become totally different, Johnny Cage is very slow and almost like a "tank" if I can use that term... Subzero and Scorpion are AMAZING as always... The X-ray moves are also fantastic, but they get VERY repetitive... I wish there was some variation in the x rays... The new characters are all very well designed, Kotal Kahn is similar to Johnny Cage in the sense that he is slow and Big... Mileena is insanely quick!
Iv done the 2 gig update on my PS4 and downloaded the pre order stuff, the characters are really small, like 1 meg each... Will get some more time in tonight, but this load shedding is a bitch...
[MENTION=13244]Tom[/MENTION] sweet dude! Really want a new fighting game, Injustice is getting repetitive and boring.
Will keep an eye out for cheap deals on the game next month :) or if someone is selling 2nd hand on gumtree :D
It's been good so far. Managed to play 1 fairly good online fight with what I believe was an international player in Ranked mode. I nearly beat him though, but to be honest I haven't really practised with any characters :DQuote:

As for the story mode, haven't started it yet, too busy with work, but everything else, graphics, gore, x-rays, fatalities, pure awesomeness and in my opinion, hands down the best looking version as well.
[MENTION=187]_Kaboose_[/MENTION] when is your little toornament?
