Is it worth starting to play this again?

[ArmageddonUMK]

I kinda missed out on this game due to various reasons but I've been back in the FGC thanks to injustice. But I just decided to play mk again for shits and giggles and found myself having a blast. However with the community seemingly dying out I'm wondering if its worth investing any serious time improving at this game. Thoughts?

 

[Cossner]

Depends. If you only play online, no. If you play offline, yes.

 

[Ratchet-Fabulous]

Same as what Cossner said.

I actually bought it on the PS Store not too long ago and it's just not worth it, especially how the online is.

 

[Espio]

If you think the game is fun to play then sure.

 

[CURBOLICOUS]

Its so worth it. Its gonna be at VXG next year so why not keep it rolling and win big bucks next year.

 

[ArmageddonUMK]

Ill be playing both on and offline. probably slightly more online due to convenience. I think I can handle both games pretty well, especially since I'm already getting a little burned out on injustice (I know it's been 4 months but it gets grating sometimes).

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Yes! MK9 is great and we still play it all the time in SoCal.

 

[True Grave]

I still play all the time, but mostly due to it being my favorite all time video game, next to Halo 3.

If you're having fun then buy it. I'm not sure if people still use ranked match but at least on the PS3 there are enough people in rooms that it isn't hard to find matches.

ArmageddonUMK Long time, no see

That sig is godlike. O-H!

 

[ArmageddonUMK]

I-O!

Yeah i think I'll start playing again. Only issue today was that I only played one person who presented an actual challenge on Xbox live. But that should be remedied by playing offline locally.

 

[ForeverKing]

Yes

Mortal Kombat is the best fighting game out right now

 

[Son ov Timett]

One of only a few games worth playing tbh.

 

[NHDR]

Is there even a small scene on XBL? I'm thinking to get it for 360.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Not dealing with the online again, so no.

 

[Sutter Pain]

how is the PC online? I might pick it up if it is a dramatic improvement over console.

 

[Insuperable]

I generally don't really like questions like this. If you actually like a game, you wouldn't be questioning if it's worth playing. It'll also keep your fundamentals in shape for future fighting games (if this is your only fighting game at the moment)

Not sure why I can't edit my last post, but i'll say this much, it's still fun to me, but as far as traveling to tournaments, it's not worth it anymore thanks to huge balance gaps.

 

[TaffyMeat]

Thread title makes it sound like you only play the latest game releases. Why not play MK1?

 

[chessmaster]

Online is trash but there are still people on xbl. Offline is where you will get the best experience though.

 

[ArmageddonUMK]

To be clear the title was questioning the amount of tournament life left in this game. I still play umk3 to this day

 

[Minh Giang]

MK games are always worth playing for MK fans.

 

[ArmageddonUMK]

Agreed once again, i only ask because Im already invested in Injustice and wanted to see how much competitve life was left in MK9. As others have pointed out, since it's fun of course I will keep playing and I encourage others to do so as well. I worded the thread title quite poorly unfortunately, but even without this thread my decision to keep playing wouldnt have changed

 

[zaf]

Yes

Mortal Kombat is the best fighting game out right now

If you play a top 20 character then the balance gaps aren't that big..

Especially if you're good.
