Yeah i'd like a stick if the game's good and there's a lot of competition. Whats the decent ones? They expensive ?

High end sticks go for around £100+.

Might go down and see if I can get a second hand one.

I used to enjoy a beat em up back in the mega drive days but now it just seems the same with little advancement just more buttons to mash.

I presume I'm just getting old, I just expect a bit more from a game now..

I'll understand if it's the core gameplay altogether that you didn't enjoy, but curious question, did you play story mode a little bit? For a fighting game I thought it was quite good and I found the challenge tower gives some interesting things to do while fighting.

Had a quick go of the story with the actor, It just felt to me like it was a story hacked onto a two match fighting game. Tbh if it was a fiver on xbl then it would be quite good but anymore its just the same as evrything before it to me.. I'm sure it will be loved by some, it's just not my type of game anymore...

SF is a button masher, MK is not. Thats what I've found from playing these two games.

Kintaro is a bit cheap. Currently on Stryker's chapter.

Anyone getting to play this online? (360)

I cant find a ranked match for love nor money, and the only match I have had is getting into a room and got asked to play once.

Not very good considering this game has only been out for a few days...

Kintaro, goro and Shao Khan are all cheap, probably classic shang tsung too.

I got a couple matches in, feels a bit buttery and thick due to latency just now, hopefully they can get it sorted with an update. I don't know.

I beat him being cheap. Shoot, jumping punch, uppercut, step back, repeat.

Hey guys

Really enjoying it this afternoon

glad i sent the mrs out. Got it for about 21.99 after trading MGS4 and wolfenstein.

Can anyone recommend me a stick? For ps3. Can see myself getting into console beatemups providing online is alright, and has enough competition

Cheers guys

Keep an eye out. They are always attainable for 60-70 if you look around.

Went to my local game store which is a good 30 minute walk from my house. All they had was the tekken stick which was £100. I said "good day to you sir" and stormed out of there. They wont be seeing me back there again.
