    Mortal Kombat

    Game » consists of 26 releases. Released Apr 19, 2011

    One of the goriest fighting game franchises returns to its roots, introducing a new story that re-tells the events of the first three Mortal Kombat games (with a unique twist).

    Anyone else taking a break?

            I've decided to take a week or two off from Mortal Kombat. It seems the longer the game has been out the netcode just gets worse and worse.Most game aren't your typical chop chop frame rate lag, but a very noticeable button/input lag. Along with that it seems that everyone other person you play is either Kung-Lao, Raiden, or even Quan-Chi. People have found out that at least Kung-Lao is stupidly good and you can mash out 15% combos everytime. I know there is a netcode patch in the works now, but I don't see anything about a character patch on the horizon. I'm really loving MK, but these online infractions are really bringing down the games quality.

    people need to learn what netcode is, I don't want to sound like a jerk but way to many people throw that word around and have no idea what it is.

    I've been mainly playing by myself in the Challenge Tower and Test Your Luck and having fun just doing that. Everyone online is waaaaay too good.

    I've gotten lag on the 360 version but I played the Ps3 last night and I got no lag at all.


     I played like.... 3 different people over the course of like 10 or so matches.    So, no I guess... I love the online and I'll continue to play.

    FUCK  this game. Seriously, in the state that it's in now just fuck it.  I'm on the verge of snapping the disc in half because of its unplayable online.  5 minutes to find a match only for it to lag so badly that you can't even counter all the spammers because your block doesn't register in time.  Joining a lobby and trying to find someone to play only to get "Unavailable"  "Declined"  "Game session no longer available"  I spent an hour playing tonight and only got to fight 10 matches.  Everyone plays easy mode Kung Lao, spams the same move over and over again, or just sits and blocks the whole match not moving except to uppercut you if you try and get close.  I'm just beyond frustrated with this game, which is a shame because this is the first fighting game I've EVER played online, and I was really enjoying it at first but the fighting game community is cheap as fuck, and the online is broken and terrible.  

    Sorry for the mini-rant.

    I feel lucky because lag has not been that bad of an issue for me, i DC once which kind of pissed me off because i was 6/10 from completing the koth 10 win trophy...and now people might think im a rage quitter...finding matches/rooms can take a while...and i wished you could cancel and try another if it takes too long, but other than that...

    Unfortunately I have to take a break now since my free trial is nearly over lol

    I kinda took a break but I intend to go back to it and beat some friends with Kabal :) I just bought Demon's Souls so that's probably going to take up my time.

    I am playing local matches only, I am done with single player and I haven't bothered with online since like the first week. When it is fixed I will play online and throw down some time in the lab but I can beat all my friends so there is no real incentive to play as it stands.

    An enforced break, yes. What with not being able to redeem my kombat pass and all.
