hows the game?

[Raiden - In Flames 🎵]

i bought MK11 standard edition at first i wasn't sure if i liked the game but it grew on me as i started to figure out how the buttons are mapped for all the characters.

and then i played 2 hours of the story which has been really fun so far.
so i have decided to buy MK1 at a later date, maybe closer to christmas because i do not think that fighting games are worth buying at 70 to 94.99 euros.(this translates to 845 SEK and 1100+ sek) which is too much for me. not that i can't afford it... but you know. O_O

back on topic though how's the game, the story, the characters, how different is the fighting in this game compared to 11, game modes etc.

and while writing this i saw someone make a topic about easy fatality tokens being purchasable with real money, i think this is extremely bad for a premium game, easy fatalities should be there for people who suck at inputting "one-shot combos"(means you have one chance per victory to perform one) and they are probably farmable in-game but having a token system for easy fatalities just rubs me the wrong way.

i do hope that it changes one day either with this game or in future games.
if the had a free-to-play model with online play, limited rotating characters and limited access to game modes i'd understand.

It’s ♥♥♥♥ all the cutscenes stutter and the fatalities brutality’s menus etc are all in 30fps.

The game is amazing. Story is great, can't stop playing. Matches smooth 60 fps, no stuttering. 30 fps in menus and during fatal blows but it doesn't bother me.

Upgrade your PC

Gameplay is smooth for me but man, those xray cutscenes at 30 really slow the match. It's very noticeable. It's not even a smooth 30fps. It's jittery af. Not laggy but it's just not right. Haven't started the story yet. I capped my max frame rate to 60 and set the power management to maximum in nvidia control panel. On a desktop but saw that fix for the stutters. About to try the story. Hopefully it's at least a smooth 30fps.

It's fun and the gameplay feels better than 11. I don't know if it's worth 90 bucks because it's a typical, non optimized PC release that needs some patches. I had 2 freezes and the frame rate could use some work.

thanks for the input, waiting seems like the correct way just so the game can get a bit cheaper and become more stable!

The story is very fun so far! I'm loving it.

isn't it possible to mod the 30 FPS scenes to 60?
i haven't looked up any past mods for previous games but it seems like an easy fix!
maybe look into the games files(i forgot which type of file)
open it up with notepad++ and change values, perhaps?
works for some games.

oh that's great, i'm having a blast in MK11's storyline atm, not a huge of fan of "time magic"
but seeing how MK1 turned out it was probably the right call for 11's storyline so they could setup a "reset".

It feels absolutely awful to me, when it isn't crashing. Waste of money for me.

might want to explain yourself buddy.
because right now you are just shouting angrily at the wall.

From what I can tell if you're playing local/online casually its fine if you intend to play competitively its pretty bad. So I guess depends on what you're looking for.

Every single time I have tried to play online so far, the game has crashed. Not a disconnection, a straight up crash. I am thrilled the game isn't doing that for some of you, but it's clearly got issues.

There are straight up significantly less features and game modes than MK 11.

I dislike the cameo system but I already knew that before launching it.

I am one of the people getting weird cutscene stutters, though at least the gameplay (when it doesn't crash) is smooth.

This doesn't feel ready for prime time. Another $100+ early access beta test.

Fixed my video stutter through NVIDIA control panel, no problems, the games playing great. The cameo system will take a bit of getting used to, but i'm having a lot of fun with learning these mechanics. Enjoying the game and story so far.

Depends on what you expect. If you want a good single player experience and usually likes MK games I think you'll enjoy it. As for multiplayer I don't know yet.
