    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).

    Patches Inbound? If so... when?

    I've heard the netkode for this game was supposed to get a tune up, but most of my matches still lag like all fucking hell. Furthermore, it takes at least 2 minutes to find a ranked match and usually more. 


    This game is really fun, but they should really fix the netkode so that xbox live monsters like me can practice for tournies. Also, NRS.... change the fucking UI so that I kan swap buttons in game, you're killing all the hype for your game in tournies because of this extremely minor issue.

    When is this happening? I know it's supposed to happen, but it's basically as annoying as no spectating in marvel and shit like that (which also needs patching....).

    This was the line that was posted on the official MK forums on April 28th:

    " Thank you for supporting Mortal Kombat! Due to the overwhelmingly positive reception to the game, Mortal Kombat has millions of online matches being initiated worldwide every day, and we have run into some unanticipated technical issues. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios are aware of the issues with the online gameplay – specifically with "King of the Hill" and Ranked 1 v. 1 matches - and we want to assure our fans that we are focused on resolving online issues ASAP. We have added a “Technical Issues” section to our forum so please be sure to let us know what issues you are having so we can address those as soon as possible. Users will begin seeing improvements in online play over the course of the next two weeks. In the meantime please note that none of this will impact the single-player or offline multiplayer experience, and we greatly appreciate your patience!"

    So hopefully pretty soon. I haven't played that much online and would like to very much without getting kicked from a match right when I start a kombo.

    I don't think there has been a full patch issued yet, but my recent online experience has been much smoother than it was the first few weeks.

    On 360, they handle all the patches and that junk server side so they don't have to go through Microsoft's painful process.

    Glad the matches are getting smoother now.  Might have to try online again soon.

    @JJOR64: And now my embarrassing brain fart grammatical errors have been persevered for all time. :)

    The online still has issues though. I can definitely feel the difference and occasionally drop combos I know I have down, but compared to week one, it's been ok. I can get into matches consistently and have not had multiple seconds of freezing like I did then.

    On the minus side to it, the competitive scene will have to have their Xbox's connected to the internet to play the latest version, which is a pain in the fucking ass.  Most people in the scene will use the PS3 version cause of this issue.  I really hope they fix that problem.

    My biggest issue is the game desynchronizing in the middle of a kombo.  I can finish maybe 2 out of every 5 matches without a desync happening.  It's really irritating.

    Whenever PSN comes back.

    They can't patch it until the version everyone plays gets back online.

    I hope it's soon, and for future reference you only replace the C with a K if C is the first letter in a word like Kat.

    Kung really isn't as good as people think, it's just a new game.

    Kung Lao can be annoying until you learn how to duck under his teleport attacks.

    I don't think Kung Lao is all that great... but then again, I'm speaking as someone who hasn't played online, so I'm not sure what's going on online, but I do watch a lot of streams and I don't see many people doing all that great with him.  I don't think I've seen many Kung Lao players on tournament streams either...

    @xhavoc86: Lao seemed like an early favorite on the competitive scene right out the gate, but his usage seems to have died a bit since.

    I always laugh when I see people complain about finding matches. 


    In Endwar it can take up to 10-20 minutes before finding a game.
