Mortal Kombat X

i can't wait for this game to come out i've been playing mortal kombat since i was a little kid
 
I will probably pick it up but it will just be a reminder of how much I miss playing fighting games at arcades with actual groups of people. There was something special about being in a dark and smoky arcade, huddled around a mortal kombat machine with 25 other people, all trying to beat whomever was kicking everyone’s ass that day.

There were times in Chinatown where someone would have the machine for HOURS, beating every single person that went up against them. At the real underground spots they would almost always be playing for quarters, if you lost you had to give the winner a quarter to pay for their game. Some of those kids were insane players, especially when it came to King Of Fighters or Street fighter.
 
Meh, IMO the series fell apart after UMK3. To this day that's still one my top 3 games of all time. I still like Mortal Kombat, I'll still buy MK10, and I play MK9 every once in a while, but what the fuck! MK is so slow now :\. The run button made for a significantly better paced fighting game IMO, way better then the lame ass leap feature. Fingers crossed that they bring that shit back... but I still think they'll never make a game better than UMK3.
 
Already got this pre-ordered for the ps4. Comes out next Tuesday.
Been stuck on Borderlands lately but I have a feeling Mortal Kombat will take me away from that for awhile.
Hoping so anyways.. last game I pre ordered was the new Battlefield and I was sorely disappointed with that purchase.
 
really diggin it so far. best thing is the variations, 3 different choices per character. i have been using ferra/torr lackey variation. gettin my ass kicked online, won like 2 out of 10 matches =) had to remap buttons on my joystick and starting to get the feel for it. looking forward to learning the ins n' outs, completing story mode and what not. most important tho is i found online with a yellow bar connection to be perfectly fine lag wise, in fact i just had a match that felt "decent" with a grey bar. hopefully when more people pick it up at stores tomorrow and its not 2am i can get some green bar connections! woo
