Mortal Kombat X officially announced

Overall a really good game, though there are some spammy attacks like jacqui's machine gun which can be a real pain in the ass to fight against. Seen some people use that devorah character to mental effect, literally juggle after juggle with their opponent barely getting a hit in.
 
^Loving it too, and I never considered myself a fan of fighting games. Must just have been Tekken putting me off for all these years.

Every character seems to have an insane combo which you can juggle your opponent with, seen guys get 50% damage in one combo. Too good for me though, I just get my ass handed to me online, though I havent venture back in a few days. Can easily beat the AI on medium but struggle badly with hard, such a step up in difficulty.

I'll have you a game online when its downloaded. I know no special or combo moves so will be the traditional kicks and punches until i learn a few. BB+HP best still be Scorpians harpoon
 
The quick time events in the story can be annoying, they tend to come out of nowhere but after a while you sort of know when to expect them. The story mode would actually make a decent movie if done right. :)
 
Does that mean Raidens torpedo is not back back forward either? Raiden best still be in the series.
How many characters and how many original characters are in MK X? I think ultimate MK 3 is one of my favourites just for the sheer number of characters. Having said that the original only had about 7 and that was great and where it all started. Playing it in aracades for hours when I was around 10 in the early 90s - have the likes of Kano, Johnny Cage and Sonya made another appearance?
 
From what I can remember of the old games most of the original characters moves are performed how they used to be. Classic characters are like Kano, Lui Kang, Johnny Cage, Sonya, Scorpion, Sub Zero, Jax, Reptile, Kitana and Meleena are in along with a few new ones who are mainly siblings of the classic characters.
 
Just completed it. Thought it was great. Its the first Mortal Kombat ive played since 3. Are the others any good as well?

back forward x i think for the torpedo, oddly enough his teleport is still down up, and some fatalities don't have any button presses, just directions.
 
Anyone got it working with SLI? 1 card plays it about 60fps but sometimes get drops to the 20-40fps. Enabling an SLI profile in Nvidia Inspector (SLI compatibility bits) kills it to around 20fps or even lower. Both cards end up being used by 20 or 30% whereas 1 card is 99% when not enabled.

In short, SLI is non existent I think

Edit - even with graphics turned down so im getting 60fps constant im not a fan of the game

I love Mortal Kombat but after 3 it just started getting daft. I was never a fan of the things like run, multihit combos and crazy special moves. They (IMO) were for games like killer instinct.

There's simply too much going on and too many special moves. Its like the way online FPS games went from CS and Soldier of fortune to call of duty 9 with its airships and 30 kill streaks.

On one level (dead woods?) I kept turning into a block of ice for no reason and a missing following me all over!? There's about 30 indicators on the screen near the health bars for god knows what. What happened to 2 health bars and a clock timer in the middle?

Then there's controls, gone are the days of high kick, low kick, high punch, low punch block. Now there are special stance buttons, front punch, back punch?

Long live the online community and project Mugen for Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3

Anyone else find the multiplayer laggy? just tried it for the first time and the responsiveness of the moves seems delayed. Not sure if its the people I have fought or a problem with the game itself but single player is fine.

After 3? 3 was arguably the turd that started the downturn in the series. I dunno what they were thinking with part 3 but on the whole it just introduced a whole bunch of crap that wasn't needed, the running system, the combo system. The animalities that looked like they were thought of 5 minutes before the game launched so they were just basic looking animals with a glowing outline for the most part. Even the fatalities in 3 just seemed half assed, more of a cash in than a decent game.
 
lol forgot about the animalities, damn that was awful.

shame this game is so screwed up at the moment, would quite like to try it
 
I used to like the random finishers like Animalities added a lol factor to the game.

FRIENDSHIP !!! lol
