I've never seen MK11 on sale, what does it go for? I don't play many new PC games lately, but I bought DiRT Rally 2.0 for $30, its a 2019 game. The base price is $59.99 but I've always seen it on sale. MK11 with the problems it has isn't worth $60. It's sad when 15+ year old games have more players than a game that's like 4-5 months old. With the problems I've read about, I probably wouldn't even pay $30 for it.
I've seen it on sale on Steam about two or three times now; usually around 15% to 20% off as I recall. The Kombat Pack was on sale once for 50% off. The regular, non sale price for the base game is $79.99 Canadian, which is the standard cost for a current generation console title.
Interestingly, I don't play many new PC games myself either, or any new game as modern game design just doesn't speak to me. I mostly play older stuff, from as old as '98, but more commonly from the 2011 to 2013 time frame. The
Mortal Kombat franchise is the only one that I buy and play new at launch now.
Having said that, and having purchased
Mortal Kombat 11 at launch on PC, while some of its problems have been frustrating, none of them have been game breaking. I'm not saying that as an excuse for the issues, and some have had them far more severe than I, I'm saying I've seen far, far worse. This is still night and day over
Mortal Kombat X.
The fighting game genre does seem to have reoccurring issues on PC as a whole though, I can't say why. I know the
Street Fighter franchise has had performance problems, I've heard
Tekken has as well. I'm actually really interested in
Killer Instinct: Definitive Edition now, but apparently lots of people are having issue where not all the characters are unlocking! Can you imagine that? Buying the game only to find three of the characters you own are locked, or worse, some of reported
all but the rotational free character are locked! That makes the issues
Mortal Kombat 11 is having seem like nothing to me.
Most people having those issues seem to be trying the game via Game Pass, though some who have indeed purchased have stated some characters locked.
