You were dumb enough to buy a fighting game on the PC when there are two perfectly functional console versions available, the only thing you deserve is a swift kick in the rear end.

"Should I buy this game on the console that's going to be supported at most tournaments, the other console that has a online weekly tournament, or on the PC, a version that nobody is going to play on and that is made by a company known for bungling everything they touch."

If the game versions were kept current on PC there would be absolutely no reason why it would matter that the console version is used at tournaments anyway.

Outside of little "in a slightly better world" problems the "Buy Your Fighting Games On Consoles" argument is classic "My friends on the couch with a couple brewskis" console tard stupidity and your a monstrous jackass if you follow it.

I'm responding to his more universal claim he made earlier anyway. Yea they hosed up with Mortal Kombat, but that's not every fighting game.

i too, get really upset about what platform someone buys a game on

Developers just spent a whole generation believing the same crap that idiot believes and it wouldn't of happened to Mortal Kombat if developers had the proper amount of respect for PC... So gently caress off.

If you don't mind getting match made against the same three people over and over again I guess the PC version of any fighting game is fine.

I get that you're upset because your lovely version of MKX is non-functional, but I'd appreciate it if you responded to my posts seriously and treated me with respect. I'm not flaming you, so don't flame me.

Just buy a PS4 it's awesome and having literally every major fighting game available on one box to bring to weeklies or meetups is tight.

No decent human on the east coast comes together to play (lives up the block from Next Level).

I think the bigger problem with MKX is that even when it works it's kinda turdy. I probably just haven't spent enough time with it though. Maybe this weekend. I'm on PS4, BTW.

My big problem with MKX in general is there's a lot of times of just waiting for the game to move on like if your fighting Ermac and he puts you in a psycho choke hold or watching a X-Ray or whatever.

You don't understand. It's not like the PC lets you use whatever controller you want. It's not like the versions are exactly the same in terms of frame data and whatever bullcrap. If you play on the PC there is 0 chance you'll ever be able to play competitively at any console based tournament.

They did an okay job with MK9. Online was hosed in that game but it was already hosed on the consoles anyway.
