Mortal Kombat XL

Beta for the fixed PC version+XL content.

I just wanna give a moment to say "thank you NRS", even if it's a bit late.

Still going to wait and see if it's worth picking up beforehand. They screwed up MK 9 on PC pretty badly, too. .... Ooooor I could pay attention to the free beta and try it for myself worry free.

High Voltage already screwed up MKX PC, by the way. This is hopefully the fix for it. Can people stop hiring High Voltage for PC ports, BTW?

Did they do 9's? I don't know what the heck that keybinding nonsense was but having to swap between what was effectively two different control schemes when navigating menus or even just pausing the game was ridiculous.

Well yeah they did Injustice too, which people took as a sign they were getting better, but nope...

A bunch of gifs from the balance patch. New moves etc.

Kombat Kast on Monday.

Is this patch's release/delay(?) the reason there's no new ESL Mortal Kombat X season yet?

Dang, I miss that show already...

This patch is looking real solid on the Kombat Kast.

Edit: Huge patch notes.

Some clarification on the Revenants; do they have free will now or is their behavior still influenced by Quan Chi's spell?

A mix of both apparently

Jax when he talks to Katana, Says he hated being a revenant but Katana reveled in it

Random question: Has Mileena's roll always been a mid*? Even in previous games?

* By mid I mean 2-d fighter mid. Meaning you can high or low block it.

If her tower ending is anything to go by, she may not like it as much as she claims. Jax also seemed to like being a revenant when he was one too.

Thanks for the reply.

So when are the following getting a guest appearance in an MK game?

Kain (Legacy of Kain)

Corvo Attano (Dishonored)

Judge Dredd (2000 AD)

Kaine = Never. Admittedly, I'd love it if he somehow did. I miss that series.

Corvo = Fairly likely, I suppose.

Dredd = I doubt it.

...they've stuck to horror movie monsters and characters who are brutal as f'ck.

And characters with sound clips and the ability to emote pain.

I think Corvo is the most likely to appear.

I'd love to see Kenshiro make an appearance too if that's possible.

Well there's also Isaac Clarke (Dead Space).

And Geralt (The Witcher).

And, just for kicks, throw in either a Power Ranger or Kevin Mc Allister.

I mean, who would pass up an opportunity to see our beloved icons of children's entertainment brutally murdered?

Karl the Butcher Shitter plz

Or see a cyborg, hulking juggernaut, or literal god get murdered by something as innocuous as a paint can on a string?

So what would you guys like to see happen in the next game?

For me:

Jade returning to help free Kitana and some explanation on what happened to Jade.

Kung Lao's tower ending becoming canon.

Frost joining Cassie's team.

Fujin being the de-facto divine helper of the good guys (and playable) now that Raiden's gone crazy pissed.

Do we even know for sure that Raiden's gone evil? I mean, all he did was threaten Kitana and Lui Kang and we don't know how canon, Raiden, Bo, Quan Chi and Kotal's tower endings are. I mean, maybe he just decided to change his wardrobe a little

Well not "evil" persay. More ruthless, sure.
