The Official MKXL Complain/Rant Thread

[Rude]

If you don't like the game, you should play something else you do like.

Damn! Wtf do you do to be able to play 9 hrs straight! In between my dog family work and girlfriend I get like 3 to 4 hours 3 times a week tops.

I'm off on weekends

 

[chackalacka]

In a nutshell, the game lacks Variety. In MK9, we had so many different playstyles, which made each match different. Kitana = zoning. Kabal = Pressure. Johnny Cage = Chip Pressure. Mileena = Zoning/Pressure,, Sub = Keep away. Scorpion = Vortex.

In MKX, its all Pressure, Vortex and 50/50s.

Any competitive activity is only as fun as the competition you have available. I used to be a competitive pool player, these days if my opponent can't run the table or there's no money on the line I'm bored.

If you don't like the game, you should play something else you do like.

Go back and read the OP. "I really like MKX".

Just not as fun as MK9, i dont feel the rush it did while playing good opponents. Maybe is because even though I can play rush down char I tend to play very defensive and this game is all about offense with very weak defensive tools.

 

[call ME damo]

Same feeling here.

I could play MK9 all night after work, every day of the week and then all day on the weekends. With MKX, I'm like... play 2 hours... ok, bored. Then I go play ESO or some other random game.

I think it's multiple factors:

1. The cast selection... it's leaving out amazing characters like Shang Tsung, Smoke, Noob, and the Cyborgs.

2. The overall safeness of the game (something I alluded to in another thread). Oh, you want to throw out this really risky move for an insane combo/reset? Just do an option select or a specific move in conjunction with it and now you're safe. So even if you're wrong on your read (aka you thing they will block low and they don't), you don't get blown up for it. Nothing more annoying than blocking correctly and getting nothing for it.

3. Instant offense. The game is nothing but pressure, pressure, pressure. In your face action all the time. Not a huge fan of that type of stuff. Been zoning with kitana lately and I'm having a little more fun.

Better than Injustice, but doesn't hold a candle to MK9, imo.

HEAR HEAR

The reason why I come to TYM is to read the opinion of online randoms on how MKX is nothing but flowchart 50/50s.

Never change randos, never change.

lol just because you go to tournaments doesn't make you a high level player. Never seem you make it to any top8 at any major. Online random? Try getting your stick to work first then we talk lol...

[WakeUp DP]

Just picked up bone shaper shinnok 2 days ago! He is legit! I main ermac, and secondary mileena! I never get bored. Even with long sets! Switch up between ranked and player matches. Have a mic on and communicate with ppl! The game isn't boring! I've have only owned MK9, Injustice, and now MKX! I love these games by NRS! Practice a couple hours one days... then get online the next couple. Breaks are sometimes needed haha.

Been thinking about picking up Shinnok actually...

Im pretty sure he did make a few top 8s at east coast majors with reptile late in the mk9 era if I recall correctly

We are talking about MKX here. Our complaints about MKX weren't the same as the ones for MK9.

He came here to call us random online scrubs when he cant even get his fucking stick to work properly.

most online warriors are better then offline just there isint a big following of them AKA FOXY GRANPA

 

[HeroesNZ]

It's not just you. The game is okay but TBH I'm only playing it because it's still alive. If MK9 or Injustice were still alive I'd hardly touch MKX.

For starters, it feels like there are way less things to find tech-wise and due to there only being one dominant playstyle, MUs are so much quicker and easier to learn - which isn't a good thing. Instead of saying "Okay so I zone in this MU and turtle in this MU", it's just "Okay so I rushdown".

 

[TackyHaddock]

I was fully addicted to MK9 and am fully addicted to MKX currently. There has been a real continuity there . . . a continuity of addiction.

 

[WakeUp DP]

It does, which is why I haven't played as much since getting all of my achievements. I used to play like 3 hours a day minimum to get them because I'm a trophy whore. I've also started picking up new characters to keep things fresh. Feel free to stop by the Cassie forums to learn some things and chat with us .

I'm having a hard time landing her bnbs, she is gonna be a challenge but def worth it, she seems fun .

Don't get me wrong, MKX and KI3 are the only fighters I play at the moment and will be playing them for a very long time... But MKX isn't MK9... Doesn't feel as fun and addicting.

Will keep trying Cassie and Predator should help get me more hype about this game.

Right now I cant wait to play SFV! M.Bison and Chun Li fun!

 

[call ME damo]

No

yes skillfull chris foxy xcarmaxa all superb players

 

[Wemfs]

I was talking to my boy @RM AtK! about this. Back when mk9 was out, I was a deadbeat. I'd go to work thinking about mk9, come home and promise to do dishes then suddenly it was 3am and I'd go to bed with nasty old chicken sitting in the sink and shit, just to wake up and do the same thing the next day. Weekends? Forget it. I was on MK9 at 8am and would play all day long. Talk shit in koths, baby limbo free with jade, etc.

MKX? I lab for a while, get on and play some games, then I'm like man I'm bored I should go do some dishes. Then I do dishes and hang out with my wife and kid for a bit, change diapers, troll on Twitch and TYM for a minute then I go to bed by 11pm. What is happening to me? Am I getting older and more responsible? No fucking way; it's just that there's only so much leveling up you can do in this game by yourself.

In MK9 I would lab for hours upon hours and play online for sooooo long. On vita, I could take like 3 hour shits while playing mk9 ranked lmfao. Sadly, those days are over.

Is Ed Boon making this game boring af on purpose to make me into a better man? I mean, my relationship with wife and family has never been better, but there's just a part of me that feels empty when I'm not wasting my life away playing a game that I love, ya feel me? Like sure, remembering to text my mom happy birthday is cool and all, but it's nothing compared to zoning the fuck outta someone with instant air fans with Kitana then teabagging the fuck outta them before babying them. *Sigh*, those were the days...

Now I want to play MK9 on pc again.

NO, YOU DIDN'T!!!!!!

You said MOST online players were better than offline players. That is definitely not true. Foxy is an exception and he is also an offline tournament player so...

 

[RM_Gamer]

Yea this game caters rush down. It's all about getting in ur face to do a 50/50 or chip. If zoning were relevant it would be better, along with consistent AA

 

[BlackViper415]

I couldn't play any game for five hour stretches on a regular basis, never mind nine. I played Red Dead Redemption and Arkham City for eight hours once when they first came out, but there's no way I could have played those every day. Maybe take a break from fighting games? I know when I used to play guitar obsessively, it helped to take a couple breaks every now and then. I'd lose a little chops, but I'd come back fresh and inspired.

 

[Airvidal]

Keep in mind I usually play long sets. 5-9hours straight.

If you feel that MKX lacks strong defensive tools, then you should fight @usedcarsalesmang
If you're getting bored then you're not stepping up your game enough. Unless you really almost never lose, then I'd understand. But if that's the case you'd be winning EVO in two weeks.
