Ditto. I just picked up the last game for $5 on Steam and, although I really wanna play MKX, MK9 will keep me entertained until the new one has a special edition that goes on sale.

Thing is since they advertise that, I'm hoping hey can't refuse to price match Target's deal which is identical in wording except it says "Save $20 on the Season Pass with purchase" and the Best Buy ad says "Save $5 on the Season Pass with purchase". Not saying they have to honor Target's deal, but it's harder to say their Price Matching policy doesn't apply, especially in this case since I have to go to the store to pick up my already-purchased preorder on Tuesday and I probably won't have to deal with their "You're paying less for the game with GCU" arguement

I think I'm going to wait as well. I only made it an hour or so in the 360 version of the last game and got busy playing other things. I think now if the perfect time to revisit it.

After watching footage of the story mode online, it's a missed opportunity that they did not create a movie mode (with new action sequences created to replace the gameplay moments) that would unlock after you beat story mode. This is the Mortal Kombat movie that I would watch over and over.
Of course, I'll definitely play the heck out of it over and over as well. However, this is definitely the MK movie I always wanted.

I think I'm up to Chapter 6 and I'm really, really liking it so far.

The Soul Calibur and Street Fighter franchises would benefit from such an approach to the game story.

This thing is gonna be a micro transaction factory. There's like a dozen finished characters not on the roster that are in the story mode alone.

Re: Mortal Kombat X
I suck at these games too. The good thing is you can pause it at any time and it shows you all your characters moves and required button presses. Needless to say, I pause it alot.

Apparently with this one, you can purchase tokens for "Easy" Fatalities...

Yeah, small or large bags (5 for $1/ 30 for $5), yes it's phenomenally stupid but it's not like that's in any way hindering your enjoyment of the game or making progress harder if you don't "pay to win".
If you're upset about micro-transactions for cosmetic things in a new fighting game, you clearly haven't been paying attention

For the life of me, I can't figure out what button pauses it to show the moves. I'm using a PS4. Help an old man out?

Re: Mortal Kombat X
Think this game is a lot of fun so far. Story mode is just as good as last time and kudos to Netherealms for upping the anti with MK9, MKX and Injustice. I really miss being able to unlock stuff in The Krypt though. That was my favorite part of MK5 and up. Guess it's expendable now that most hidden characters and new costumes are DLC and not on the disk.

This article leads me to believe that the DLC is just locked on the physical disc.... Which I think sucks.

Re: Mortal Kombat X
Nope. In fact, quite opposite. When I don't know the moves, all I end up doing is punching and kicking which is weak and boring. When you pause it (just push Options on PS4), it shows you every possible move your character can do (kombos, special moves, fatalities, brutalities, etc, etc). Those are much more satisfying and fun to watch when you pull them off. Plus they do WAY more damage than just a punch and kick. It's ridiculous how many moves there are, there's no way I'd be able to memorize them all.
And just to clarify, I'm not pausing it after every move. Usually just once or twice per round so I can get an idea of what buttons/directions I should be focusing on (a lot of the combinations are the same across all the characters i.e down, left, X is a pretty standard move), but sometimes they tweak it so you need to push O instead of X when you switch to a different character.
I've only been playing story mode so far, and as it progresses your constantly playing as different characters. You almost have to pause it to see what each new character can do.

Re: Mortal Kombat X
So how is the game overall? I mean, does it get boring after a while? Is it strictly for fight game junkies? lastly, are the button combos insanely long?
Why I ask:
I love Mortal Kombat, I really do but fight games in general as well as racing games, always seem to be lacking something extra and usually when they do try adding more (in this case, the story) it's usually just lazily done - although that doesn't sound like the case here as people seem to really like that part of it.
If nobody wants to answer my questions cool - but thought I'd just ask.

Re: Mortal Kombat X
I can't see any Mortal Kombat fan being disappointed with this one.
I LOVE it so far, but haven't played it enough to answer your concern about it getting boring after a while and I haven't even touched the story mode yet.
The graphics (especially the backgrounds) are particularly impressive.
It is such a great time to be a gamer.
