I don’t know if it was just me, but I was on a hot streak of getting multiple ranked matches in a row within 30 seconds of searching for an opponent. I played around 20 matches in under an hour. Perhaps NRS fixed something?
At least we have the option of creating a room to try and get there…SRK should have a enough of a playerbase that the SRK community could attempt to keep SRK regional rooms running. Have, SRKEastCoast, SRKUSCentral, SRKWestCoast rooms up all the time, most of the players less concerned with avoiding lag will probably jump into Outworld rooms, etc. We have the option to try and get players more regionally placed…not perfect, but a start.
How was the connection during match?
Pretty much still the same. It’s just that connecting with an opponent for ranked matches seems to not be taking as long.
sigh… the game is impossible to play like 80% of the time online =( the lag prohibits you from being able to do half of your combos and makes you super susceptible to frame traps. Feels like i have to play characters that are super rushy like johnny cage or frametraps galore like raiden to compete b/c of the lag. I really hope they fix this soon.
So you haven’t actually bothered to read where i’ve already said all this before, but you feel the need to behave like an arrogant twit? Ok, i’ll indulge. Baby got his bottle?
The netcode is nothing without decent servers to host the game, the server we have is crap. Matchmaking doesn’t work. Matchmaking and search options are nonexistent. The lobby system is unbelievably stupid as anyone can join. KoH needs complete redesign.
Basically everything about the online doesn’t work.
No replay facility. You can’t go to a single player mode, like Ladder, while waiting for a match (as you can in SF and BB). No tournament mode (for a game based on tournaments).
Overall completely lacking in every possible way and designed by people that have no fucking clue how to design online games and have learned NOTHING from the success of franchises like Streetfighter on the 360. People that lied to their customers beforehand as well.
On every count NRS have failed. This game’s success is motivated more by the nostalgia factor than anything else. If this were a new IP it would have been stillborn, and rightly so.
And you are creating straw men.
Online is broken. It is a major component of the game. It shoudl work as advertised or the game shouldn’t be on sale. Don’t want to play online? Your choice. Can’t play online? Not your choice. Right now the game cannot be played properly online.
How did this shit get out the door… I mean really… fuck.
No, Im going off of your constant trashing of the game.
The game deserves it. Should never have seen commerical release in this condition. There’s no excuse for it.
Give it a rest your just trolling now your going to get yourself banned, though I’m sure you don’t care since you only made your profile to flame MK right?
at least you get online play.
then again even if i could play online it wouldn’t be good cuz i’m stuck with wireless connections.
That’s right. You believe that if it helps you. I’m done justifying myself it twats that don’t listen but instead get their knickers in a twist.
I love how you justify the game being unplayable in every manner OTHER than the actual gameplay…
Dude…if you hate the game so much, why exactly are you still here? You’re doing nothing more than trolling with dumbass arguments. Give it a rest.
Becuase gameplay means nothing if you can’t play a match.
So that automatically makes the game unplayable?
Where do you live? If you live in some bumfuck place that you have to travel like 2 hours away to get any good offline comp, then I can understand.
But either way, instead of badmouthing the game constantly…how about you just put the game down?
Lol. Ok then, and you think they can’t fix the online. So why are you still here? Sell it and get lost. Problem solved.
The lag kills a lot of the online play because the unpredictable delay makes you drop combos. Since people can’t pull off combos I assume its the lag or people being scrubby they end up spamming special moves with Scorp, Raiden, Smoke which really takes away from the game when you are trying to learn and get better or even just enjoy the game.
Do you realise how ridiculous you sound? Is it beyond your comprehension that not everyone plays Mortal Kombat? Online is important to me for that reason. Calling where people live stupid things like that just makes you sound like a complete jackass. go back to school you moron, get some fucking education.
And you think they can? Want to buy some enron shares?
Selling it involves finding people willing to pay a decent price. I certainly intend to speak to the retailer and see about a refund since the game doesn’t work as advertised. If not Brink comes out friday.
