Which version of non UM 2K2 other than the arcade is good? I heard the PS2 version is pretty decent.

I love the characters and it really sucks that they're missing from Xrd but the camera just feels off now when I try to play XX and I end up getting dizzy. [heh]

The PS2 version is pretty much perfect, just be aware that there's two versions out there for it--the original and patched (Tougeki) version.

The 360 version is based off the Tougeki version and the Steam version is a port of the 360 version.

So most of MKX is fixed on the PC. still some frame issues on the bloody rain sky temple stage, and of course netcode from hell. But other than that everything seems fun so far. There is a hell of a lot of stuff to do that you don't even feel like you have to play online against others. The invasion league has been really fun so far. I'd like to see what the invasion towers of each faction are like though. That's still redded out, IDK if its that way on PS4 and Xbone too though. I think they're timed events that take place during the week like the boss fight.

That said tanya is in the game as is rain, you can edit files to play them, but they're very incomplete like they have maybe 3 or 4 moves and no xrays or other stuff. So they feel very unfinished compared to other characters.

I do wonder if you can take the edited files and play online against people with them. I'm guessing no as they wouldn't have the files edited to that.

E:
So basically if NRS manages to fix the netcode by the time ESL starts or shortly after. The game may actually have a long shelflife. I'm not holding my breath but I will pray to whatever void is out there.

MKX is the best attempt at a legitimate fighting game that NRS has made. I think that's about as tactful as I can be.

(I'm actually enjoying it for now, but as soon as the really busted poo poo shows up it'll probably suck.)

I think we're all holding our breath waiting for the overenthusiastic balance patch, but I'd imagine that's not going to show up until after Evo.

It's totally not a knock against the game itself, I just find it oddly entertaining to see people who have never played a fighting game before mix with people who have tons of fighting game experience, and that really only happens in NRS game threads.

Probably not in the immediate future. It's still quite a ways off from a US release, and honestly I haven't paid close enough attention to the details and changes because of that.

MKX looks fun as hell, NRS games are fun as hell even if they're broke as poo poo, but this is and always will be the true value of NRS games. Transcending history, and the world, a tale of scrubs and MLG spergs and all that.

Also I'm not buying a PS4 so by the time I get to play it the community will be in full swing "just drunken casuals on the same couch only" level lol

I haven't been keeping up with this thread (you're welcome), but I'm curious: what's the consensus on MKX? (Probably poo poo, right?) It looks pretty cool, but it also looks like it has that NRS jankiness we know and love.

Is it at least as good as Injustice? (Which I enjoyed quite a bit, aside from the rage quitters.)

MKX just might be the first NRS game not to die off immediately after its Evo debut. That is if something stupid, like Superman in Injustice, doesn't emerge before it, resulting in yet another boring NRS grand final and complete deflation of hype.

yeah Injustice was nice until people realized you could just use Superman/Black Adam/Aquaman over and over and completely poo poo on all the other characters. There wasn't much balance for Injustice which killed my enthusiasm for it.

kind of disappointed that KOFXIII is not on EVO and instead we get 2 loving iterations of Smash Bros. Do people just not like KOF anymore?
