Mortal Kombat Demo impressions thread

I have totally the oppisite opinion of PS+, it's a fantastic deal and I would recommend any PS3 owner to get it, I've got my money back several times over.
Well I purchased it the other day and all they had on was fucking Sonic 1 and a bunch of random ps mini games I never heard of - completely underwhelming
 
Lothars said:
He's wrong though, games that are downloaded on PSN + can be played on another account on the same system.

This is true. Just the other night the wife was playing Sonic and I have the main account.

Oh snap! Now I am seriously thinking about a US Plus account...

No, I have to stay strong. It's just a week before I can get it for free.

Yeah that's a negative of PS+ because they have content that basically revolves, I am sure you will be able to get a good selection of games before your subscription is done.

Does the US PSN still have Stacking for free? I figured it was a case of the UK getting the shaft as usual
 
Yeah, I share my PSN account with only one person and he has access to all the PS+ stuff.

Can't wait for this demo. PS Nation said the MK demo was the most popular display at GDC by far.

Yep, but it comes down later today when the new update goes live, so you better hurry.

Dont fret, you got the 3 month or 12 + 3 months?

The stuff changes monthly if you are in EU, and every 2 weeks in US, but 2 weeks new stuff is added in that month, but the earlier month stuff is taken away

It wouldn't be fair that you get have a huge free (rental, yeah yeah, I know) back catalog of all PSN+ stuff now, and get the extra stuff coming, that is why you purchase early

If you bought PSN+ last month, you got Stacking $15, free, if 3 months = $19.99 the next 3 months would have only cost you $4 to rent the stuff released for the following months

Basically. ;p
It's 3:50PM here and I've waited till 10PM many Tuesdays for a few updates.
Sometimes at 5PM, sometimes at 7PM..there's no actual time for the updates...sadly.

Is like the updates go up live, whenever they feel like. Don't know if it's because of the whole regions-thing. :p
 
One fatality...or one fatality listed in the moves list? They've let the public do two of Scorpion and Mileena's before.
 
OK, I know this is the demo impressions thread and everything, but since it's the hot MK thread at the time being and the demo isn't even out yet, I'm going to ask you guys a question.

I think I'm going to bail on the Tournament Edition because I hate American style joysticks. I like the Japanese style ones, like the one I had on my GGXX stick.

I'm wondering what my options are besides having one custom made. I don't want to go through all of that.

I hear about the madcatz versions with changeable faces and shit, but I can't find anything about them online. All I see are SFIV and MVC3 madcatz sticks with nothing about the faces being changeable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do it, it's probably the best thing I've ever done. It opened up a whole world of PSN games that I never would have played otherwise.

It's actually pretty funny how vehemently people seem to respond to PS+. I've had it since June and haven't found myself regretting it yet. People come up with some of the craziest shit to attack it though.

The only thing that has made me angry so far is the damned European users complaining that the NA users were receiving too much content which led to the US updates getting cut dramatically and tons of free shit being given to the whiners.

I hope Grace Chen actually decides to be kind and updates the store a little early today. Please? :P

Fuck! Portal 2 is the same day as MK! :(
Mortal Kombat is priority to me, but darn..I wanted Portal 2 day one with the whole PS3/Steam/Vale/Cloud/Unlock PC version...deal.

EDIT:
Though checking on "my release schedule" I have nothing set to get in May, so I'll get Portal 2 in May. :)

do you always get portal 2 on pc with the ps3 version by buying it new? or is it like a preorder bonus type of thing?

I already ordered my TE stick pack.
 
I love the fact that when Johnny Cage does a combo that encorporates an EX Special Move, he just shouts, "JOHNNNY CAAAGE!"

Shouting your own name as a special move is awesome.

Yeah, always. It seems by linking your PS3 game to Steam/Valve; you unlock your choice of PC or MAC version. Well, I hope they don't change it. :p

Thanks a lot, but where's the actual body to go with it? And is there a body I can purchase with the Japanese style lollipop stick?

You'll need the MadCatz Tourament Edition to use that. It'll have the lollipop stick that you want.
 
"Thanks a lot, but where's the actual body to go with it? And is there a body I can purchase with the Japanese style lollipop stick?"


The "body" is the Mad Catz TE itself. You replace the faceplate on it with that and swap over the buttons/stick, etc. that come with the TE.
 
Any chance they'll put this one up on the HK marketplace for free like they did with Killzone 3? *crosses fingers*
 
_dementia said:
Are you going to get that MK button config add-on?
The faceplate? I want to!
But neither the TE edition of MK nor the faceplate seem to be available in Europe. At least until launch time.

I preorderd the mortal kombat TE stick. I can swap out that plate and make it a street righter one right?

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.
 
"I preorderd the mortal kombat TE stick. I can swap out that plate and make it a street righter one right?"


No. The stick that comes with the Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition is made by a different company and it looks like the "top panel" is part of the case as a whole.

ahhhh crap, i thought it was a madcatz made stick. I wonder if i should cancel it.....

Just buy the games!? 3DS really isn't worth it at that price.

Or is it?

Honestly though, too many good games in such a short timespan. One of the times it sucks to be a fan of multiple genres.

The stick is made by PDP (formerly Pelican) and contains arcade-quality Suzo Happ parts much like the MC fightsticks.
This is an "American" style stick for an American style game. Bat tops and concave buttons ahoy.

No dummy account to share this time around? xD

PSN+ caps I think @5 users max, just like your account?

I don't think anyone want to give out PSN+ info for demo

Or create a dummy account for PSN+, defeats the purpose

Maybe you get lucky with one of the other stores weirdly having it up, ie India or Hong Kong

i guess i cant cancel the order anyways since its being processed. Ill just go for it and see. Hopefully the game holds up and lives up to the hype, and hopefully the stick works just fine for it.

Happ parts aren't that great though. iL is where its at if you like American style parts.
 
Not made by me, but been using it in anticipation:
