If it were, it'd be happening. Doesn't seem like it is though.

I feel like MKX team is all over the place in terms of focus. The odds of this game being balanced seem completely arbitrary, they just wanted to throw as much in there as possible. I see how some people appreciate this "no restraint" mentality, but...I don't think the game will be better for it. There's something to appreciate how other fighting games keep the violence pretty stylish and fun, while still looking brutal (where applicable), where here it's just sloppy and gross.

I admit Brutalities are cool. That was a smart way to escalate the tone of the matches, they look concise and stylish (generally), and it keeps with Mortal Kombat's long running themes.

The Fatalities I've seen are disgusting though. I don't know why the game get a free pass on that, depicting some seriously deranged shit, most of which involves very intimately mutilating an already dead body. That's what psychopaths, and generally the worst people in human history, do. Even the development crew seems really uncomfortable showing them off.

Pussy.

I just got my Goro code. Are asshats buying codes on eBay for dumb money this time?

Learn to fun better.

I have a copy of and am playing Mortal Kombat X. It's a new era for me baby!

I pre-ordered mine from greenmangaming. They haven't distributed the keys yet. People over there are going ballistic. Amazing.

Mine's on the UPS truck somewhere but the driver can't find it. He'll be back!

The Steam version has been all fucked up. Instead of a preload, they did this new streaming thing which didn't work at all. The game unlocked at midnight, but it was only the main menu. None of the the other content went up. I'm still missing 2 parts (of 29).

Lol modern gaming. I'm waiting to get my PS4 version and then have a 10 gig day 1 update.
