50% off so soon is a bit....

[RustyRed]

A AAA game going 50% off that's barely out more than 3 months doesn't speak well for a game's health and lifespan.

Hola amigos ¿cómo están?

Not having a demo like SF6 and Tekken 8 was pretty idiotic.
Hell, even those would've been smart having a free version with only the arcade vs CPU mode.

When a game goes on sale at 50% so fast it usually means its underprefoming.
Chances are they want more people to buy it so they can hope people buy the
Kombat Pack because of the Hype crossover characters.

They are going to get swamped by Tekken 8 when it gets released.

The demo being available pretty much anytime is a smart move just like SF6 did and you can tell the demo is really polished. The game is yet to be out but if its anything like the demo MK1 is going to get Qwn chi'd into discount world fast.

I have like 40 Euro in my PS5 wallet and it's like 44.99 right now on PS5 and I still can't justify spending the extra fiver on it lol.

Almost everything I've heard is bad to mid about this game and the player pop seems low already. I don't know. Some aspects look good to me, like the graphics are great, the story seems good and long...but the extra characters costing 4-8 Euro's a piece? And for core characters of the series like Quan Shi and Shang Sung? Kind of a rip off puts me off and makes me want to stick with SF6(which is also kind of toxic in micro's but still)

I remember getting MK11 after KP2 came out for like $20-$25.......I must have got 2000 hrs out of that game till MK1 got released.

Isn't this an Indie game?

[HangInThere_png]

I know. Why the ♥♥♥♥ did I pay so much for this game?

[Shoah Kahn]

The only thing "triple A" about MK1 is its absurdly overpriced price point. That, and thinking the game can compete during a holiday season when the likes of SF6 as 50%+ off, and Tekken 8 is month away, is as delusional as thinking that MK1 is not the worst MK since MkvDCU.

FOMO; hype; misplaced hope; ignorance; lack of due diligence; P. T. Barnum.

Nope; it was very smart marketing. Had people played the crap show that is MK1 before buying it, the sales numbers would be ~50% less than whatever they were.

[KripTed]

Well it is Christmas. Big sales usually happen around this time. I told everyone it would.

[Funpire]

It's not worth it at 50%. The game is good, but shallow af and everything is in the cash shop. Just save your money. MK is dead.

You might be right, as I did not play it, since there was no demo.
But I have no way of knowing either way.
