Nice. I'm just starting to get my bearings; it's really overwhelming but having fun so far. I'm going to hit the game hard after EVO and will be down for some games for sure. What character(s) do you play?
My main is Aganos who quickly became my favorite big body of all time but I also have a very average to below average Arbiter and Gargos I learned for fun
What were some of the major differences? I did not play regularly back when it was still a DH game, all I heard was season 1 characters had some busted stuff such as Sadira infinites and Jago just dominating in every category
You heard right. DH version was fun, but fundamentally broken. The manual system, unbreakable combos, safe counter breakers etc.
There are still scenarios that allow manuals though were you just able to do them way more? Also safe counter breakers lol, no thanks
none, but the support and interface of Steam are way better , so, Steam version all the way !
Is there still a free demo or trial version on the Microsoft Store? And I assume development for the game is done and no more content is being added; thus the "bring it back" hashtag?
agreed .... tried to enjoy KI, but, it's too much combo focused, very exagerated on hits numbers, ultra combos on sceen, etc, so, it's too much fast paced .... instead of heavy neutral/footsie game as others fighting games, as Tekken, SF, MK etc .... so , this kills any hype for this excessive gameplay mechanics that KI so much valorize , and the game becomes dull boring to follow up at competitive level, indeed ...
I believe so , that there is still a free to play demo indeed , to download , at MS Store, yeah .... and the bring back, is more about because the game , somehow, was abandoned by Evo and other major tourneys, since is almost as an "niche" fighting game franchise, that , despite being high quality on gameplay and network, is not a direct concorrent to great series as Tekken and Street Fighter, so, is not seens as profitable enough for people to dedicate years to follow on it
Hmmm... it also uses rollback netcode, does it not? I also recall it being at Majors for years, considering it launched in 2013 with the Xbox One.
But if they "fix it" it will no longer be Killer Instinct, though.
yep, it uses .... people gave compliments to the netcode, saying was one of the best at time
Windows Store version can cross-play with Xbox players.
I think there is a free version that has rotating characters that you can play/try free and purchase separately if you want them permanently. The whole game is on sale a lot; think I got it for $15 or something. Looks like it's $9.99 for the Definitive Edition on the Microsoft Store right now :O
Nope, not last I read. I'm only recently getting involved in these things but looks like cross-play is a Microsoft perk. And you don't need Xbox Live for the PC version like you do for the console version, so no worries there either if that's a consideration to get it on Steam over the Windows Store.
