Does no KP2 means no GGPO aswell?..

yeah that would be my question.. GGPO and balance changes at least - i mean if they are ntdoing those , theres like no reason to continue playing the pc version for semi to serious players .

$ well wasted ona version of th3e game that just seem to about to take off with phase two of its life

 

[MadPropz101]

There is no excuse for this.

If consoles got BETA, then what are we? Pre-alpha?

GREAT -.-

Naw man didn't you hear? PC is the new Wii-U

I knew this was going to happen, I was telling all my steam buddies that we were gonna get royally screwed. Sure enough....
This is such a huge disappointment.I know the PC NRS scene is very small so it doesn't look like a profitable investment for NRS.
Even with PC MKX sales only accounting for 1% of overall sales theres still hundreds of thousands who purchased it for PC.

I've been playing NRS PC titles since MKKE came out. This is such a huge blow and completely wrong in my eyes. I've never felt
so let down before in my gaming history. Tons of my Steam buddies are beyond pissed and disappointed. NRS doesn't care if we have
to fork out hundreds for a console and repurchase of the game, Dirty money grabbing tactics. I blame HVS for doing such a poor job on
NRS ports as part of the reason we are getting left behind besides the low sales numbers on PC.

I'm salty about their decision of not supporting PC version anymore.

But this is BS. PC version of the game at current time is top tier. Also thinking GGPO which has a proven track record gonna fail is dumb. It's great already and its in beta stage still. We're all (PC users) disappointed but no point in making shit up.

Well, they fucked up releasing a game on Steam.
They can most likely make GGPO not work, too.

i'm so salty.... that, i don't even wanna come here anymore... i come here usually to remind people that, the netcode is shite, Kenshi sucks, and Quan Chi needs buffs... and now, when they are finally fixing it everything... i'm not gonna be part of it.... fucking hell...

if anyone has plans to buy SFV.... feel free to add me on Steam...

 

[FinalBoss_FGC]

NRS must be the PC MASTER RACIST.


I'll see myself out...

 

[Diego de Souza Costa]

ohhh... one last thing, before i forget.... why the fuck, is this game is still up in the Steam store ???? full priced by the way, with all the DLCs available.... this is ridiculous...

 

[RVB]

Guys I know a lot of us are wondering if PC is going to get the rollback netcode and balance updates and the logical answer would be... NO.
Making KP2 available on PC would be doable for little resources if you think about it but the new netcode is a whole different story and that's where the corporate asshats drew the line and said "hey let's forget about PC like we did with the Wii U"

That's obvious, why would they bother with GGPO when they dont even want to bother with adding new characters to already ported game, which is probably like a day work or so for anybody to do.

What the hell LMFAO

For the time being we can only warn ppl by pointing out that future of MKX PC as it is now is that of being abandoned and lacking content via reviews. But yeah, Steam should have do something about it. The least they can do is to inform in red fat letters on store page that this product is announced to be lacking content consoles can already pre-order. Like, for real, this is some serious stuff.

 

[Groove Heaven]

I'm not a PC gamer at all and never have been. I bought a PS4 almost entirely for MKX and SFV. I have no vested interest in NRS continuing to support MKX on PC and I still 100% agree that this is horseshit.

PC players still shelled out at least ~$90 a piece for the game, KP1, and whatever costumes they bought. It's unfair and inexcusable to tell them they "should have seen it coming" or "NRS has to do what will make them the most $" or whatever other stupid shit I'm seeing some people say. From what I hear, it's functioned poorly on PC from day 1 and clearly NRS or whoever they had cover the PC port did a poor job, and now they pull their continued support from the platform altogether, forcing people who were already their patrons to spend over $400 to continue to play their game.

Sorry you guys got shafted like this :/

 

[KeyserSoze]

If I were a PC player, I would be innordinately furious. Not having access to an ultimate edition is one thing, but not being given a chance to purchase half of the DLC characters is simply outrageous.

 

[Jeremy KO]

Was considering getting a PS4 to actually play with the MK community instead of the random brazilians on the PC version, and if I wanna stay competitive and continue to travel for this game, looks like I actually gotta get a PS4 and MKXL. Oh well! At least I'll have something to bring to majors.

I'm pretty fucking mad at their decision, but I don't want to abandon the community and all the friends I have made just because they DID make that decision.

 

[Sutter Pain]

Will never support NRS again regardless of it is directly their fault or not this is just beyond words. I purchased every game and dlc NRS has made to date only to get this sort of treatment. Honestly I am so pissed I can not even continue to finish this hate post.

In no way will I waste money on a console for MKX, fuck off NRS\WB.

Koei Tecmo does the same thing for all their games. DOA5LR on PC is not the definitive version. And all their other games are trash.

I will say this again, but I was a PC user when this game launched. It definitely was broken, with a memory leak, inconsistent FPS and many other bugs that folks experienced, but the only issue I ever really had (aside from online) was during a patch that had just been released. If you went into training mode, the game would freeze after 20-30 min forcing you to quit and restart.

While that has all been fixed, I decided to put the PC port on the back burner for a few reasons. The player base was always rather small; finding a match was hit or miss on most days; KOTH was a rare treat; rooms / lobbies were non-existent except for Europe / Brasil; I had many issues with games always giving the dreaded "lost connection - attempting to reconnect" error, or an immediate "this game session is no longer available" with friends that I normally had a decent connection with, and support was always last for us in terms of patches / balance changes. In the end I had enough and decided to buy a PS4 for a better experience (and upcoming game releases) given the fact that I only paid $20 for the full game including KP1 when it was released.

I would say the blame is both HVS and WB/ NRS. NRS knew exactly what they were getting themselves into by hiring a team who has a very bad track record, and it showed by the horrible first day launch; patches that fixed one thing but broke another; saved game data being lost or corrupt, and many other issues that plagued users for months on end. Because of this, sales and reviews are not where they should be, so of course in the eyes of WB/ NRS, there's no reason to finish giving out KP2 / MK XL and better netcode for something they see as a failure when they set themselves up for it the day HVS was hired.

If NRS had simply hired QLOC from the start instead of bringing them in months later to fix the mess that HVS conjured up, I honestly believe the future for the PC port would be brighter.

I do not agree with their decision, as any honest developer would fix or better improve upon something that is still broken instead of leaving it to rot and die out, but because the PC port now has no developer, it's merely a forgotten mess.

I hate seeing the current state the PC port is in and wish it was better with the upcoming netcode and character releases and a bigger player base, but the sad truth is that many companies (not all) focus solely on consoles because they know that's where a huge part of their business / profits come from. I can only hope that the PC port will be updated to match that of consoles seeing as how it's always been last, but I just don't see it happening.

 

[Jaku2011]

So basically don't buy Nrs/WB games on PC ever MKX and Arkham make that pretty clear now.

 

[buyacushun]

@RVB or anyone who might know. Why did CIS region use PC for ESL??? Just something I figured out I didn't know why.

Any clue if Xbox or PS4 could be used instead?

Yeah, it's THEIR decision for actually putting the game on PC so just finish it and give us all DLC and patches needed.

Seriously, shut the hell up with this "you shouldn't buy fighters on pc" bullshit. It may be a "niche market" but it sure as hell has been supported by other companies. Look at USF4. This shitty attitude of "nrs can fuck me in the ass and I'm ok with it because business" is complete shit and the reason why they think they can just walk all over the pc community.

We spent just as much money as everyone else on the game and deserve to get the same support. If you don't hold companies accountable they will not go out of their way to satisfy you. Nothing about this is ok! Or ever will be! And people need to stop blaming the victim and pretending like this shit will continue to fly!

If they don't continue to support the game on pc me and tons of others will never touch another NRS game again! I'm perfectly fine playing SF5 when it comes out. A game actually with equal support on its pc version. Amazing right?

That's nice you spent money on a port by a company with a bad track record.
Said it pre release and now I will say it for it's death. You will get no sympathy from me.
Never touch a game from NRS again? Welp Good Game Peace Out
