I basically burned £30 on it at release. I did the SP stuff, learned all my combos and then quickly realised online was unplayable, and it stayed that way for months until I gave up. I wish I could erase my Steam copy and get a PSN code for it as I never got to play it online which is the reason I bought it.

Hold on so it comes with everything, except for one last skin pack that is pre order only?
What a dick move
Edit: holy shit this nor the 2nd season pass isn't coming to PC? Wtf?? O_O

Oh there will be more MUAHAHAHAHAAAHAHA. This isn't even the Komplete Edition.
Yeah, WB has an history of making complete edition of their most successful games. It happened with MK IX and X is no different. The only drawback is that online activity in a NRS game drop off significantly over time despite it's relative popularity. The best time to play a Mortal Kombat game online is in the beginning months, while SF can keep an healthy player base for years and it's going to be more evident with V which has crossplay.
The good players will be there, they are the only ones that matter for anyone who cares about competing.
Well...they outsourced it to High Voltage, who did such a horrendous job they got pulled off it, the PS3/360 versions were cancelled (we were pretty sure they were doing those ports) and then another company was hired on to fix the PC version, and that's basically where it's at now.

Stoked to see more costumes which'll presumably be launching with each Kombat Pack 2 fighter. Looks like a lot of those shown are apocalypse packs (D'vorah, Erron, Takeda), but Kotal, Ferra and Kung Jin I think weren't previously announced? Same with Ermac's cartoony look.
Hoping cosplay pack is free for KP2 purchasers too in some fashion.
I would assume this means all KP2 characters will come out by March, likely on a weekly basis given the time frame, which is quicker than I expected. Could mean as early as next week (what with a Kombat cast on Sunday). Unless they all drop at once around March (bummer).

PC not getting shit confirmed...
Mortal Kombat X on PC Won’t Receive Kombat Pack 2 Content
Time to buy SV5..its the better game anyway. Also, i forgot NR is part of Warner, no wonder. this confirms my boycott on warner games.

I wish that NR would officially state this. Their silence is telling. They must feel like it's not worth supporting anymore even though it sold 500,000 on steam. I'm ready to start boycotting them. It makes me wonder if they are even going to bother porting the next MK to steam.
EDIT:
Yeah. They can go to hell!!!

Yep, it's another way of trying to get more money out of people.
Greedy, I tell you, greedy! These kind of practices should be illegal.
I can just go ahead and remove it off my wish list forever then.
They did it to themselves. They gave it to a developer incapable of doing a good job, who ended up fucking it up even worse than imagined, and now consumers are punished for the developer's mistake. Terrible business practice.

It'll be fun to go online with the influx of new players.
I wonder what's up with Warner Bros on PC? Seems like shit products with shit support. If I were you I would extend your sentiment to all WB games, not just NetherRealms.
I'm guessing that PC sales didn't justify the effort. This is some Wii U-level dismissal.
Edit: oh, 500k sold on PC? How does that compare to the console sales? That actually seems pretty good for a fighting game on a platform not known for fighting game support.

Are you fucking kidding me, ok then I ain't buying the next Mortal Kombat after putting up with this terrible port, should've learnt from MK9, but now I'm done.
WELL IN THAT CASE... WB and NRS can kindly fuck off then. Guess i'm never going to buy it...
Lmao Warner Bros and PC don't mix apparently.
Wow, new thread?
That news deserves its own thread imo.

Just made one.
Unreal.
From cancelling the last-gen versions to the horrid PC support, this has been beyond embarrassing.

Hope that Ed Boon is reading these replies.
Good luck on getting people to buy your next MK title.

We knew well before launch that NRS would not be handling the PC version or last gen ports. Not saying its right, but to everyone acting shocked about this just hasn't been paying attention. Most people familiar with NRS games made it a point in pre-release threads to inform those asking whether to buy console vs PC version that one should definitely buy console if possible.
Context clues also suggest that Kombat Pack 2 was not a part of the original plan and was more of a response to high demand. It would make sense that NRS / Warner would not have retained or contracted High Voltage for further work on the PC version after KP1.

You don't wanna be the last people to jump in on a fighter if you care about online community. The community is usually a little smaller but the people left are battle hardened players. That initial learning curve is easier when you buy in at launch because everyone is learning the game at the same time. All those people who are gonna play MKX for the first time with the XL edition are about to get demolished online.
I guess this is good news for me. I purchased the ultra rare Kollector's Edition for $180, but never got around to playing it (Witcher 3, Bloodborne, MGSV, and Batman Atkham Knight took all of my time). Now I can trade in the game for the Komplete Edition.
Good news for you? You bought the game for $180, haven't played it and will probably trade in the game for like $5 so you can rebuy the game at $60 and hopefully play it. It's good news for Netherrealms.
I never said I was an smart consumer. lol
