Snaggletooth Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Just looked at the Original linked article and was a bit concerned to start with, I have taken probably a slightly lopsided personal ban on games that feature recurrent spending / loot drops, or titles made by Activision / Ubi / EA. I know these arent the only big bads out there, but they seem to be among the worst offenders, Going back to MK11 though I dont know if I would have ordered at launch if had known of this, but that being said, I'm an anti social offline gamer, I'm likely to play the story and some couch play here and there so as long as Characters are not locked hopefully I will be happy with whatever little unlocks naturally and possibly DLC characters (price dependant) I do think there should be more of an obligation on devs parts to show what (purchased content on disc is locked, and the odds to get it) I remember people complaining about having to play early Tekken game arcade modes 10 / 11 times to unlock all characters, seems positively laughable now.

Hendo Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I'm sure the situation is not a popular one at Netherealm - I'd be surprised if this was their idea, given WB's history with this kind of thing recently. I was gonna buy it on digital the other day, but I think I'll wait now to see what the reviews and early adopting guinea pigs make of it. I might just boot up MK XL again.

OCH Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I haven't really played a modern fighting game properly since my PS3 died, so most of this is completely over my head. Yet I remember a friend of mine, confessed Star Wars geek, bought Yoda (after a long wait) for Soul Calibur 4 on PS3, for £4.99 I think it was. It is hard to say if they (the SW guys) were all built at the same time as the base game roster, then cut out and locked behind console exclusive pay walls? As to me, the Star Wars people never felt like a natural inclusion, so much as a SW game pitch by Namco. Albeit, Yoda certainly played like he was in a different game entirely.

AndyKurosaki Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The grind seems unnecessary,but then Injustice 2 had a similar problem so it’s hardly surprising. I look forward to renting it for the campaign,Netherrealm are always good at those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 My copy got posted on 18th but still not arrived ?. Gutted! Have to wait 14 days before I can do anything about it too. Mega annoying. After all this news about the grinding issue I may get a refund instead of another copy it if it doesn’t arrive now though and buy it when it’s significantly cheaper and/or fixed.

After hearing nothing from ShopTo, I decided to do some checking... they are giving a release date of May 10th? That can't be right... EDIT: Yup, suddenly the Switch release date of MK 11 has shifted to roughly three weeks later. With zero explanation... Wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The grind won’t be fixed. The article I read said you could skip it, but by paying for micro transaction currency. So that tells you right there they won’t do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Fucksake, I hate in game transactions. Ruining so many of the games I like Guess I’ll just see if my copy arrives or not. That’s made my mind up if it doesn’t arrive though, I’ll get a refund instead. Thats strange regarding th Switch release too, wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 because its hilarious? In all seriousness, its not like there's been talk of it being in trouble, but then I don't think we've seen footage of it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 It sounds like they marred a good game to get some more bucks. It's stupid. WB won't be satisfied until they've fucked every single one of their properties with nonsense like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 It’s a damn shame. Made even more insane by just how grindy and random it actually is. They could end up eventually sorting it out,like when they took the micro transactions out of Shadow Of War. But that shit shouldn’t be in the game as it is. Only reason i’ll play MK11 is for the campaign. The Towers,and Krypt can just fuck right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I wonder why it's been delayed on Switch when it's already available digitally on the eShop. The physical version requires up to a 20GB download because they have used a smaller cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
