That game from its looks better not be sixty dollars.

What are you babbling about? The game looks great.

Look at dem particles!

Well I _was_ considering on holding off on buying an Xbox One or PS4...



Fans wanted Killer Instinct......now apparently its not needed.

right.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

This is a Jago Combo. Second of all, that is not Jago. It has nothing to do with it being an MS game, but rather that i was just underwhelmed. I still have both KI games from the SNES and the N64. DOA has better graphics and art direction. KI set standards in graphics and gameplay for fighters, this game just looks, meh.

Well I'm overwhelmed and instead of whining... I look forward to actually playing it.

Go play your old carts, I look forward to something new.

Seems like I've had to do that with a lot of old Rare titles that have been remade. Hopefully things get better in the coming years. In another post I suggested MS should've contacted Neatherealm studios, whom used to be Midway because they helped make KI in the first place.

You haven't even played the damn game yet you are already crapping on everything about it.

I don't care if you aren't happy with Rare games under MS.

You whine about how that isn't Jago. But you want MS to contact Neatherealm Studio? They butchered the MK characters, story, and character models are hideous in the latest MK game.

All you ever do is piss and moan and this forum is full of people like you. This is really getting old.

Doesn't look very good IMO. But then again I don't really care for fighting games all to much, except Dead or Alive.

Dude....I grew up with Killer Instinct and have very, very fond memories of this franchise. Very underrated and a cult classic for its time. It set standards fighting games aren't even matching today and was for the most hardcore of hardcore arcade fighters. Some could say its difficulty exceeded the MK franchise and put it on notice. Since I was a child I used to study 80+ hit ultra combos which was something I never cared to do in MK. Even watching the game it had a study factor that helped with timing. I shouldn't have to be writing this, but Killer Instinct was one of those games that I am very serious about since I am a fighting fan. If there was anything good I got out of this its that MS finally gained an incentive to fix the D-Pad on their controller. If you like the game buy it, why should I be an intrusion upon your life. This is a forum, so act like its a forum. You bash my opinions, but does it kill my spirit? No, because you cannot change my opinion. If my opinion sucks to you, then leave it be where it is. 

 

P.S.

MS better push back this game and take their sweet time with it because this is one of those games based on design that demands TLC. Its not one of those franchises you take lightly and just slap together. The true fans will notice a flaw...and call it out.
