Well I am a bit bummed there isn't going to be a KP3. I am really happy Cyrax has his nets and that we finally have a stage fatality with the Pit Stage coming back.

All I can say is all those skins better be available outside of XL.

And the netcode as well. Or I'll be plenty pissed. Gotta be honest, if that's the case and there is stuff exclusive to XL that the rest of us are getting fucked out of, I'm not buying KP2.... any of it. Even though I want Bo' and Triborg, I refuse to support that sort of behavior. They can fuck right off.

I refuse to believe NRS would do that. I know they have done some things that not everybody is ok with, but would they really sink to the point of getting the people who have already bought the game to sign up for and test the new online/netcode and then make it so we can't even use it unless we buy the full game (MKXL) again? I just don't think so. I might riot lol

IF that were the case, it would be another reason why I kind of hope that they are going to introduce a digital upgrade to MKXL for the people who already have bought the base game lol

The skins you're seeing (bar the Jacqui & Cassie Cosplay ones) will all be from KP2, so yes, you will be able to buy them either in separate packs or as part of KP2.

The netcode will be free for everyone. There is no way they will have GGPO in the XL game and what we have now in the base game - that would involve running two sets of MP infrastructure simultaneously, which is insane. Once the beta is finished, they'll migrate to the new servers.

MK XL is just a komplete edition of MK... aside from those Cosplay skins (which will probably go on sale eventually anyway) it won't contain anything we don't already have, or won't be able to buy soon.

That new picture of Jacqui and Kassie in their cosplay outfits is super epic LOL.

Jacqui kind of looks like Tanya and Kassie looks like Frost. This is adorable and amazing.
Scorpion and Sub-Zero are jealous of Kassandra Cage and Jacqueline.

I kannot wait to buy a kopy of the extreme XTRA-LARGE EDITION of MKX!! grin
"XL" is a very good name for the new version of MKX.

This game is too flawless.

And my favorite kharakter Tanya remains the true elusive god of pyromancy and akrobatiks.

March will be an epik month because of new oversized supersized MKX.

For now, I will enjoy the "Life Is Strange" game with some camomile tea, that game is super strange and epik.
I wonder if Ed Boon's gonna play that. In the words of Maxine Caulfield "Woowswers".

Good!! Isn't this announcement pretty stupid timing though since KP2 hasn't even been released yet? It totally shuts the door on KP3, but 90% sure that would've been a disaster anyway. Baraka, Rain, Nightwolf, Kabal, Sareena, Li Mei and even Fujin had no chance.

Actually surprised there's nothing extra to this edition. What's the incentive to buy it?? You can get the characters you want separately and I guess only hardcore fans will buy this anyway.

I am confused. You do not need PS Plus to access costumes, just the onine multiplayer.

The new "net code" is mostly all server side. It's how the input data is received and processed throught their servers. I'm pretty sure they can implement their GGPO code without even needing a patch(or at least not a big one).

Here's a good explanation of how GGPO works according to a Skullgirls developer.

I have online and I have not got Johnny Hotshot either because it is an absolute pain to get. I have never seen anyone with it either. Yep, to unlock those costumes you needed online.

But these new costumes do not have any requirements. I would not be susprised if they were sold seperately in skin packs as DLC.

New Kotal and Erron skin look good. I wonder though, is KP2 getting any more skins or are those exclusive for MKXL?

I'm wondering that too. The preorder Cosplay skins is irking me the most. They better be obtainable. I mean Kold War Scorpion was released at a later date after being a preorder exclusive, so I hope the same thing happens here.

I'm hoping Erron's new costume isn't as terrible as his primary and alt. I don't think it possibly can be but I've been surprised before. Glad to see that there is new content beyond the Brazil and Kold War pack though. I'm sure people will find a way to complain about that as well though.

Take a Mydol/Pamprin and think about your complaint..... Do you really think that the Netcode would only change for certain players that pay $60 thus making it to where only player with it can fight each other. Then only people that don't buy the XL Edition could only play each other.

You seem to be crying about something that has ZERO chance of being a reality

It will be an update for everybody. Just like the Pit. I usually like what you post but come on!grin

Those skins are a reward for being somewhat decent at the game. There are always Johnny Cage boosting rooms if you want to cheat.

Best advice I can give is to get better at the game and earn those three skins.

Then a lot of people are not decent at the game.

Trust me, I am good enough at the game to platinum it. I just could not be bothered to get the Johnny Cage skin. I have got the other two.

Or else they lose a lifetime customer and I start buying everything of theirs cheap and second-hand so they don't see a penny. I don't give money to companies with bad habits, it's the reason I stopped buying Ubisoft games.

A "better netcode" was one of their major selling points before the game came out, going out of their way to mention it as often as they could, something we now know they blatantly and unabashedly lied about. Because of that, every single one of us (and I don't normally throw this word around) DESERVE this updated netcode free of charge for being stuck with a broken, lag-filled and often times unplayable for me online function for almost a solid year.

Though thankfully, according to some here, it sounds like they'd pretty much have to give it to everyone so that makes me feel better. But if it comes down to it, I have no problem not giving NRS my money. I've still to this day never purchased MKvDC in any capacity and because of that saltiness never purchased Injustice either. All of this is just me being hesitant. NRS may have made the right step with improving the netcode but they've still done a lot of shady things so I'm deciding to remain skeptical until I see something that can't be disputed. But as I said, this is all 'What-If.' Thankfully, they seem to be moving toward better decisions and I'm happy for that. But after the clusterfuck that was a lot of their decisions last year, I'm just still so very hesitant.

Yeah just find a person or two and boost with them for the skins. The one that requires 10 ranked wins you'll just have to grind out. Though if you are worried about facing only good players you can wait until a KP2 character drops and try on that day, people like to take them into ranked on day 1 and if you pick your main you'll probably win.

I'm just disappointed at the silly cheap route for Cassie and Jacqui skins instead of putting the effort for real skins. And Jacqui gets a yellow ninja suit but fuck Tanya though?
