I think the main difference is actually that MK9 is a Mortal Kombat game. It wasn't a new IP -- Mortal Kombat has had a loyal following for 20 years. When people see "MK" and hear "Sub Zero and Scorpion" they put their wallets on the table, before they even view the gameplay. That + good reviews = a surefire winner.
Like every fanboy, I believe I should be hired to write the story of the second game...
Will BUY! haha Just don't kill off almost the whole cast at the end like MK9
jk
...I promise nothing...Will BUY! haha Just don't kill off almost the whole cast at the end like MK9
Hey I love the game to but your in fucking denial about the netcode. That or you haven't had any offline sessions. Even Sabin said this and he's a stickler for online play.
you obviously haven't played offline or your use to that input delay.
Why are these dudes in denial about that noticeable ass input delay?
"Yosemite?!"
No those fighting games youve mentioned with the exceptions of DOA, smash, and MKA have better netcodes. Like i said i love this game dont get me wrong but to sit here saying you have the same or better experiences as games like SF4, TTT2 and SCV is being in denial. Your stating the obvious with online games not playing like offline and if that was the case tournaments could be held offline which most arent.
First of all isnt MKA a last generation game and didnt most smash players have to play on a wireless connection? The reason i didnt bring up MKA is because its not fair to compare a last gen game and smash well i had good experiences as long as it was with friends that lived close by. Random smash matches were terrible though and to be honest i dont even think nintendo shouldve have given smash online play with how bad it turned out.
it just so happens most players use wifi these days but not all. I dont for example.
...Wonder Woman hates pancakes.
I actually purchased the wired adapter from the Nintendo store but online against randoms always was unplayable online.I was merely using the "no matter how good online is it wont be the same as offline" as an example ')
obviously it's stating the obvious, my point was not saying you per-se but those who think "mk9 ad injustce have the worst netcode ever.. are wrong at the end of the day, as you said there are better and worse,injustices and mks are alright,personally i think the netplay is better on xbox then psn from my personal experience but thats another story. and smash while its a great game, actually they do sell a wired adapter to hook up your wii so you dont have to use a wifi. Thewire hooks up via ethernet into the adaptor and that into the back of the wii....i had one
Although i will admit the ds plays nice for wifi.
I think some of those games are debatable at times vs. mk and injustice, like sf and skullgirls, kof played alright when i rented it....bb i never played so cant judge but heard its good/better then most fighters in terms of online play, yet non of them will play as good as offline at the end of the day but that's a risk you take with online i suppose. FTR though i don't think NRS nor Capcom or anyone for that matter should use excuses for lack of improvement despite what area it's in be it dlc add ons on one game vs. 10 different versions of the same game or netcode...
But yeah, in terms of the overall game, sales, story, replay value etc i really think other fighters should take a page out of nrs's book with it. as far as online play i hope they all improve greatly in the future. cheers
