Well I dunno, cuz the comedians they had on were split on this. Some of them believed it is, others believed it was not and the band denied it. What is the truth. Which of the washed up comedians on I Love The 80s is correct.

Randomly selected for the chance to pre-order? :lol::lol:

In Training posted:

Im the opposite, Im kind of completely fine with gore 99% of the time but MKX was the most vile and joyless game Ive ever played.

That has less to do with the gore and more to do with the fact that MKX is just a pretty bad game.
I wasn't crazy about Injustice 1 though myself, I found it just as joyless to play.
The only thing I really remember from it is the shameless minor-key-shifted ripoff of Blue Rondo a la Turk they had in most of the cutscenes.

Now, what I assumed was that they'd get a free pre-order and that's what the sweepstakes were.

But see that little asterisk there?

quote:

"Tomorrow only, guests can stop by GameStop for a chance to pre-order one of 1000 Nintendo Switch consoles, which will be available at launch on 3/3. GameStop stores and guests will be selected at random throughout the day on Saturday. They just walk in and ask and don't have to purchase anything. Also, it's zero money down."

That's right! raditts is somehow literally correct!

I can't get into any of the NRS fighting games

There's something really unsatisfying about them and I don't know what it is

I think it's the weird lovely way combos work, where you don't time them progressively with your character's animations but instead you have to mash in all the buttons at the beginning of the combo.
That's what turns me off about them, anyway. It wasn't so bad in MK9 where you could still do decent combos just by stringing moves together like in the older games, but MKX and Injustice seemed to lean heavier on the dial-a-combo type poo poo.
