Go ahead and close this thread too, because apparently you can't say anything negative about this game... But look at how inconvenient this is:

Since you can't bring game copies over to friends homes with Xbox one you now run into the problem of having to make your friend buy your character on their system if you want to go hang out and play in a casual setting. I'm not even talking tournament stuff right now.

This game is only going to work in an online setting. It literally is League of Legends the fighting game.

Who on Tym is interested in getting involved and spending money on a product like this? Honest question.
I don't know, but I've been talking mad shit about the game. And I love KI. MS fucked up KI pretty much.

Get over here!
This game would have gotten a lot of sales if it was multiplat, and they just sold the game at a retail price with all characters. KI isn't alive, it was alive for the few moments when they showed the trailer, but since Xbox One is gonna flop, then this game won't get to live at all. So sad.
Yes... if it was on Ps4 I would buy it to try it. I mean it is free... I already know Sabrewulf is the only character I liked... I guess Orchid too. So it would technically be a $10 game for me. :D

The game is following a model similar to the popular moba game, League of Legends where you pay for individual characters. Regardless you can vs everyone with paying $0.

I've always thought the franchise was of poor quality. This, along with being an Xbox exclusive and developed by a studio with a lackluster track record and no history of fighting game all adds up to KI3 being simply a fan service game at best.

The question at hand now is how much will each character cost? Will the game total more than $60 if you want every character?

Merged threads.

I guess everyone will have Jago as their character to fall back on. I wonder whether the game will have the roster of KI or of KI and KI2 combined. Still going to buy a PS4 though, despite nostalgia from the 1990s. I will enjoy watching streams of that game, though.

Who said I'm not calm? Don't be so butt hurt juggs. It's just killer instinct.

Exhibit A: "LOLOLOL wow"

This is clearly a violation of the law of "LOL". The law states that when more than one "LOL" is used in succession, for example "LOLOL", the violator is either 1.) Genuinely amused in which one "LOL" would not suffice; or 2.) Using the 'LOL's' in attempt at mockery. I find the defendant guilty in the 2nd offense, and here by charge you to repeated dildo slappings to the face for 1 full hour.

DISMISSED!

It has just been announced that Killer Instinct is a day one download-only title for Xbox One. The only downside to this is that you can only play as Jago for free. All other characters have to be paid for.
Wow. Just wow.

It's one thing to pay for DLC characters in something like Injustice because they are just a few extra fighters, the rest of the fighters are already in the game from the word go. But to have a game where only one cast member is there and most of the cast is DLC?

What the actual fuck?
