Just getting into it now. Amazing! I'm playing it tonight on the PS4 if anyone wants to join.


Huge update to play online though, takes a bit of time.

I love this series and was really looking forward to this, but I have so many games to go through already that I couldn't justify buying it right away and I'm kind of glad I waited. I didn't preorder, so I wouldn't have gotten Goro for free. I loathe DLC, so I'd probably miss out on the 4 extra characters and costumes. To get all of the "significant" content, I'd need to pay nearly $100. That's awful. I honestly don't mind the easy fatality and krypt unlocking DLC because that's just shortcuts to stuff you can accomplish without needing to pay, but there's way too much involved to have to buy to get full value.


Also, the big patch you downloaded? It did a number of things, but the biggest one (in my eyes) was reduce the number of koins you get for certain actions (like beating a boss went from 2500 to 200 koins), which makes unlocking the krypt take a lot longer. Some people think it was made easy for reviewers to unlock content and see what the game had to offer, but then forces consumers to work harder or be incentivized to buy the $20 krypt DLC that unlocks everything.


So yeah, I'm going to wait until there's a game of the year edition for $40 or less that has all of the DLC already included. Which is sad because I really do love MK.

I agree with you. DLC is BS...but that is the video game world we live in currently. If I waited a year or so my friends will have pretty much moved on. I enjoy playing MK with them. Some quick observations about MKX-The characters are huge, the backgrounds are jaw dropping, and the gameplay is tight. I just beat the Tower on medium difficulty, and unlocked Kano's Klassic outfit.

Definitely getting the ultimate collection of overpriced DLC when the whole package is available for $20. Cya in 90 days.
It's MK, it will probably be 16 months(or more) before it is released as such.

I imagine either by the holidays or next spring we will see a complete edition. The last game came out in April 2011 and the Komplete Edition came out in February 2012.

Anyone have this yet, I have been having a blast playing with my friends(MK nuts), and we would love to have more people to play with.

Our matches are always private, and we don't play in the wilds of the online community, which we tried. And promptly got discouraged.


Klassic Skins pack is awesome
