How do you feel about MKX?

[GLoRToR]

As the thread title says: what do you think about mkx?

I'm severely dissatisfied with it on many levels.

 

[Cossner]

Its a great game but the shitty netcode has caused the online community and most of TYM posters to be way behind the curve.

 

[WakeUp DP]

^ plus weak AA options, weak defense tools and safe 50/50s!

 

[Mikemetroid]

When I play MKX I often say to myself

"So close... yet... so far..."

 

[WidowPuppy]

I really like it, it's a great game. [Goes into MKX Online] I fucking hate this game with a passion.

 

[Redux]

there should be an option for both. My feelings about the game greatly depend on how an online session goes.

 

[Scott The Scot]

Fix bugs = Great game.
Currently. Not too happy with it however I can't help but play it so it's doing something correctly.

 

[Rickyraws]

It's an awesome game but I can't say I'm not disappointed. To put one's expectations high with regards to an online experience with a developer that hasn't exactly delivered can be seen as the fault of the consumer. Fair enough.

To experience a next gen console title with an online latency offering worse than a previous gen predecessor though? Can't help but feel like a bait and switch.


And I know a thing or two about how that feels...

 

[Jaku2011]

I'm still playing it. Usually that means I like it.

 

[MrSunshine]

Game in general is a 8/10

Game online is a 0/10

 

[kivatt]

I like the game personally. Online isn't really bad for me, but for some I do know that it is a national tragedy.
I do wish Anti Air were better or jump in have less priority, as well as Block Breaker having some use, and some characters have their shittier variations buffed.

Fix option selects

Fix the LSoD problem
Fix some Character hit box issues and we have a really good game

I play on a wired connection and maybe 80% of all of my games are fine, so online doesn't piss me off as much as the number of gimmicks, mixups, and weak anti-airs.

 

[Afk Skinny]

Last time I played was when Tremor was released, I want to like the game, but I find it hard to. Online improvements can definitely bring me back though, or adding a certain character, but mostly Online

 

[THTB]

It's got its issues. What game doesn't, though?

I'm fine with it, just want to see characters given improvements on their variations. Gameplay-wise, that's the worst part, IMO. The next worst would be online being so bad. There's no reason for it anymore. Good online is a necessity for multiplayer titles.

Oh yeah, i'd like to second the variations thing. I am against variations now primarily because they make it harder to balance the game and many end up being useless.

 

[themagiccan2]

I have no opinion and i just like what everyone else likes. DONT LOOK AT ME

 

[IrishMantis]

I swear there is one of these threads at least a month now

But Online it ain't the best

But in general you can win matches by using fundamentals the game is a fast pace with a lot of 50/50s but I think people are overrating the 50/50 focus, yeah there it gonna be times you lose to guessing wrong but it's no where near only based on luck.

The game has a lot of fundamentals learns your chars move that stop people running in for free

 

[TheIrishFGCguy]

There are a lot of needless issues that they refuse to fix which irks me, and I'm not just talking about online play. Can you imagine how much better this game would be with a simple change to the anti-air attacks/jumping normals? Being able to punish people for poorly spaced/idiotic jump ins would be a dream come true for most of us. *sigh*
I would also appreciate it greatly if they would try and re-work many of the game's hitboxes to assure many normal and special moves function logically, but I doubt they will bother.

I do love the game though, silly design choices aside. Online pisses me off so much because it's a terrible excuse for a fighting game but when I'm playing offline I really start to have fun. I feel like MKX is so close to being a really damn great fighting game, it just needs some fine-tuning. However, given the two options in the poll and taking into consideration that the online is an embarrassment to our genre, I'm picking the second option.

"So close... yet... so far..."

Sums it up right here 100%. It's right there to being great, but it just, isn't, for a number of reasons.

 

[ErMac333]

Very satisfied! It is true the game might not be ALL that I expected, but still a very great quality product overall. The design, the concept, the direction on many kharacters, variation systems, new kharacters, all really satisfying for me. The only sad part about kontent (just my humble and personal opinion) is that the revenants (Kitana, Liu Kang and Kung Lao) could've been exchanged for more risky additions, and also the lack of stages in number, also lacks a few klassic stages which are always great to see redesigned.

I don't play online, so I have nothing to complain on this front, although I played a few matches and it was horrible, button inputs working after more than a second later, so I can see why people are mad at this.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

I love it but the shitty online is a real problem.

I also really miss the tag ladder.

 

[HeroesNZ]

Everything is great apart from the actual fighting and the online.

The fighting is okay but with the run mechanic, the pressure system, the lack of anti-airs, the lack of character archetypes and the fact that everyone gets boring to play really quickly has made it pretty stale recently. The only thing that can save this game for me is a fun DLC character since online improvements are never going to happen.

There's also way less things to find in this game, general tech-wise and MU-wise. The time it takes to learn a MU is a lot shorter than I'm used to because characters are way more straight-forward and character specific tech usually consists of being able to use a certain blockstring against Quan Chi.

As slips said you need to find that magic 4 and not letting people run for free

 

[XxTheGoblinX]

One of the best games I played. just give me more dlc
