Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
Is there a chance of they releasing a complete edition of this game for the PS4? I'm thinking about gettin it to play with my brother, but I want all the characters.

Poor and lack of communication for months. Botched KP2 announcement (they never showed it at the Game Awards, supposedly because of the leak) I think people overestimate the netcode being the main issue. Mortal Kombat has never been as online dependant as other fighting games, as it's really a more casual experience (with the story and offline modes being a draw for many)
It makes me sad because I like MKX better than MK9 in terms of aesthetic and gameplay. They just piecemeal too much information. By the time actually get info, you've stopped caring.
Trailer is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyP_kWd7QYw
Everyone looks amazing, but fuck Leatherface. Also the Pit II is the new stage apparently

So, having watched the trailer,
Pros:
-Triborg and Bo' look sweet. Triborg especially so. They did a terrific job with each variation and it feels more like three separate characters than a single one.
Cons:
Pretty much everything else. Leatherface and Alien are still a waste and won't see a single use from me. Skin packs I've already bought instead of new skins? Come on.

Super excited for these! Will get me playing again for sure.

Was asking my brother earlier why we didn't play MK X anymore.. it just faded away, he couldn't pinpoint an exact reason either. Maybe the game just isn't built for longevity, I don't know.
I remember Boon saying that all the new characters will get DLC skins. Maybe Goro and the two previously released skin packs are just a bonus for KP2 buyers.

Yea, I don't really understand how they're calling it "getting it free when you purchase" if you have to buy the pack to gain access to it. Unless this KP is priced significantly lower, you're paying for costumes you probably already have.
Or maybe if we get more new costumes than the Apocalypse pack.

Fuuuuck. I want this pack so badly.
Tri-Borg (Smoke), Xenomorph, and Leatherface are too good.

yeah not super excited for that new kombat pack. But I do want that cyber smoke
Yeah like someone hinted at above- netkode might have been way exaggerated, It actually helps casual player like myself survive. I don't want to be at the receiving end of some long string of combos like I see the pros do at those tournaments. I always thought the netcode was fine
But just gradually lost interest cause I'm casual. I'm more interested in the story
I was on ps4. PS4 players were much happier then PC players by far

Boon just tweeted: "So much more GOOD news on the horizon for Mortal Kombat X GAME beyond Kombat Pack 2. Stay tuned and PEACE OUT."
Any idea what GOOD GAME PEACE OUT might refer to?

GGPO (short for Good Game Peace Out) is middleware designed to help create a near-lagless online experience for various emulated arcade games and fighting games. The program was created by Tony Cannon, co-founder of fighting game community site Shoryuken and the popular Evolution Championship Series.

Better netcode coming?
If he's referring to GGPO I'm going to lose my fucking shit...like literally all my complaints with this game are it's atrocious netcode and if they improve it...oh my fucking god I'm going to be SO HAPPY!

Oh man, THAT'S EVEN BETTER!
Thats probably way too good to be true.
But on the other hand, the community manager tweeted.
So if its not, I'm going to be personally offended they tricked me.
I want to believe only because trolling like that and NOT fixing the netcode would be the dumbest thing imaginable they could do to troll. You don't want to piss off your fan base like that with new content coming out you want them to buy.

There is no way they'd be dim enough to give people that kind of a hint about something so widely demanded and then introduce something else instead. Sounds like a lock to me!

HOLY SHIT!!!
Indeed, these are the kinds of things that cannot be walked back in the FGC.
Add KP2, Drop the region lock, add GGPO, PROFIT
This is awesome, but WAY TOO LATE for us PC players
The game is close to being dead online
Some people on TYM are saying that it wouldn't be possible on PC, don't know why.
I've put over 250 hours into MKX on PC, I refuse to buy a console for it! I really hope this comes to PC.
...GGPO would literally solve the one thing that keeps me from wanting to buy MKX. I got scars from both times i bought MK9 + injustice.
Unbelievable

"@Linky97_ @noobde If you look at the first letter of every word written in caps you'll get ''GGPO''. EB: Hmm... Interesting theory.

I wish they would stop playing with my emotions and just announce it..

I'm pleased that it's more solidified now.
