I enjoy this game far more then I did MK9, I also think its a much better designed game.
However, it suffers from first game syndrome, there are a bunch of issues that need to be ironed out, either through patches, or in sequels.
I can understand why MK9 players and well players in general might not be as fond of it, it is a very strange game, like a weird frankenstien monster of ideas all coming together.
One thing is for sure, that at least you MK fans can appreciate, at the very least, even if you don't like the mechanics in this game, NRS sure has learned a lot about fighting games between MK9 and Injustice. MK10 will be very interesting.
On the negative side, I'm really confused why so people think this game is hype to watch though, or why it gets so many stream views, it's a lot like Tekken to me, fun to play, boring as shit to watch. NRS style zoning makes all the matches look like some looney tunes shit lol.
