Anybody else try this game out yet? I'm in love with it. Very awesome game. I am maining sub-zero and looking to attend tournaments for this game in the future.

The new fatalaties are so brutal! I love the x-ray moves as well, and the 3 bar meter system works very well.

This game feels a million times better than injustice, and I like that chip is not too high in this game so zoning is easy enough to get around and if you block a few fireballs you're not going to lose like 8% health like in injustice.

I want to try it. I don't have a Xbox One or PS4, only a PC though. I'll wait until the PC version is all ironed out, plus I don't have the cash to spend right now anyway.

I have to admit MKX looks a lot more interesting than its predecessors. I haven't played a MK since like MK3.

If you liked MK3, you will love this game. It has many of the same mechanics, plus much much much more. Sub Zero has his ice clones back!

The coolest thing is that each character has 3 different "styles" For example, Sub Zero can have either a) Ice clones b) Ice weapons or c) ice shield. And you have to choose your style before the round begins. This will make the matchup metagame very deep in this game!

I know, I've been watching the videos. Sadly, all I have is my Wii U (it's not sad really, just sad as far as MK goes). I always was a Scorpion fan. Did they ever release any predator vids? I can't recall ever watching one.

I know they aren't out, but I had hoped to see some teaser gameplay or something. Yeah, I think you can expect the fatalities for them to be particularly gruesome.

There's going to be a ps3 version? Ok I'll just hold off for that as well. I can get enough practice in at weeklies / tournaments in friendlies to keep up until I get my own copy. Fortunately one of my best buddies has a ps4 and a copy so I can practice there too.

I'm thinking I'll wait until I get a PS4 for this one instead of getting the PS3 version. Something about the loading time at startup with MK9 on PS3 makes me think the PS3 version of MKX might have a bunch of slowdown or something like that. It probably won't, but I just think waiting until I get a PS4 might be the better idea in the long run anyway.

Just got the game the other day, and so far, so good. Input windows for combos is a lot smaller in this game though, as opposed to MK9. And I cannot get used to the fact that there is a block button.
