Preordered for 559 DKK.
It's out September 19th, in a week.
I fell for their stupid scam and ordered the Deluxe Edition to get it a few days early - also with 6 additional characters. ALso, a Jean-Claude Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage, which is key. This version was 739 DKK.
I got the game early, like last time. I picked it up on my way home from work, and installed it. It starts with screen reader enabled, which is hilariously bad speech synthesis. I enjoyed navigating the menus a bit with it turned on.
I found fatality inputs for Scorpion and Sub-Zero in weird Reddit leak threads.
I discovered Smoke's second fatality by randomly trying out combinations: DFB triangle (any)
I found another one: Johnny Cage: FDB circle (any).
I learned that I can do a fatality with the Kameo character! Amazing!
I'm finding more 2nd Fatalities on the internet.
Malu and I played through Story Mode, which was extremely entertaining, especially the crazy ending.
Baraka is fun and easy to play with.
I should have picked Sareena, they are 'sisters'.
General Shao is Shao Khan.
This guy looks like a rejected member of The Road Warriors, but plays more like a UFC fighter. He has the most brutal fatalities, I was almost shocked!
Rain is interesting, he can do teleport combos. I love Frost's fatality - you get to see the opponent's head on a frozen skeleton.
I thought I saw a squirrel on the title screen the other day, but it hasn't shown up again. Now I wonder if I was delirious? Was the squirrel ever there?
I started playing Invasion mode. I didn't really like it at first, because it takes place on a map where you slowly move between nodes in 30 FPS. But then you get into fights, and it's fun again.
We finished the Story Mode chapter 15 again with Kitana.
Squirrel! I saw it earlier, and wanted to show it to Malu, but then it didn't show up! But now I caught it on the Elgato!
Tanya is super fun to play with, very flexible moveset.
I can't figure out how to play Geras. He's slow and has very confusing moves.
Mileena has a very powerful moveset, lots of projectiles and teleports.
Erik and I played some matches, lots of fun.
I need 102 GB of space to install the newest update!!!
John Cena fits into the MK universe perfectly.
Quan Chi is very fun, with his flying skulls and summoning skeletons from the ground to give uppercuts.
I played through 3 DLC FIGHTER TRIAL towers where I could try Sektor, Cyrax, and Noob Saibot without buying their DLC. Sektor and Noob Saibot were amazing to play, and the robots are both in human form and both female!
