NetherRealm’s offering gamers the chance to buy finishing moves in Mortal Kombat X, and a lot of people aren’t happy about it. GamesBeat rounds up some gamer opinions on the controversial microtransactions.
All playable on October 5.
Cool. Wanted to play Hell Let Loose and I always enjoy a good golf game. Mortal Kombat X should have been 11 IMO though.
HLL seems a bit of a mess on console, I hope it improves but didn't have fun with the beta.
Agreed. MKX should have been 11. I will play PGA though. Haven't played since Tiger Woods. This month feels lacking.
I know right lol!!! Mortal Kombat X is free on PS5, but I understand PS4. Heck the PS4 version should be easy to get for just $20 or even less $10 dollars on ebay or selling stuff apps.
MKX was already in PS Plus Collection. This is the second time they've double dipped. Thank god the golf game lets u hit balls into the crowd.
Two separate services isn't double dipping. People do understand that, right? Subscribing to one or the other doesn't give you benefits to the other in any way.
You don't know PS Collection is not available to PS4 only owners right? Only way they can claim this is by buying a PS5 or logging into a PS5 and claiming them.
So am pretty sure a fair few of the 100+ million PS4 owners are thankful.
Mortal Kombat X was never released in Japan so this is another one that won't be included in the lineup for Japan and will probably be swapped for some crap but I'll remain optimistic.
I'm pretty sure MK has never been on plus. In the US anyway.
Not sure what PS Now has to do with PS Plus.
Only PS5 owners get the PS plus collection which majority of playstation owners don't have
Not every one have ps+ collection
When u will stop thinking like a child
I've never liked those kinds of fighting games so mortal combat is out. Golf? I don't know why such a game even exists. the last time I played a golf game was on the Apple ][. And finally hell let loose looks like just another in the endless stream of ww2 shooters, I already have enough of those in my backlog that I will probably never play either
You know when you actually buy your games you wouldn't be so ungrateful for the free ones. Just a thought.
This month just didn't appeal to ME personally. If it's a good a good month for others, hey more power to them. And please, I'm willing to bet I've bought more Playstation games than you have. Probably shouldn't make assumptions about people without really knowing them, just a thought.
How much you willing to wager, sir? I've purchased just over 20 games this month alone. Have over 830 games in my digital library 250 on my shelf and that is only the PS4. We'll skip the PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, VITA, and PS5 just to keep it fair. Who's counting though?🤷🏾♂️
Whatever you'd like. Since the PS1 days, my collection is in the thousands, just on Playstation alone. Pissing match aside, again, you shouldn't make comments in the future where you look stupid (ex. Telling someone you don't know that they don't buy games)
Or perhaps, since you have such the healthy collection, stop whining about the charity. If they don't give it, then buy it.
Hell Let Loose looks great but it's not a casual game and a bit of a acquired taste. It's nice for people to dive in a d try it though. MKX is already on PS5 for free with the PS collection so that bad for PS5 owners and it was only two months ago everyone complained about a sports title being included as a game but yet they follow suit with another one 🤦🏻♂️
PS Plus started so well at the beginning of the year too.
I never thought I'd see a day when people complain about what they get for free. Hey, there is another great alternative to settling for free games, BUYING what you want.
How much do you think a market leader is going to be willing to cut into their own pockets? How many games do you actually purchase or do you just wait for them to hit plus?
We actually are grown enough to know that we have to pay for greatness over here. You have an option to go to MS if you'd like as well. Otherwise, add it to your library, say thank you, and move on. How old are we here?🤔
I've been subbed to PS plus since the very day it started when all we'd get is PS1 and minis on PS3. PS Plus as a service was always about the games. Now they've made it a requirement for online play you mistakingly think these games are the bonus. They're not. We pay for access to the games via the subscription. They're not free so before running your mouth and giving it the big one, please educate yourself before calling people out.
Well sir, I too have been a PS+ member since it's inception and own well over 3,000 games on PS3, 1200 of PS4, and close to every game available on PS5. I speak from a supporting standpoint and I'm strongly against people who do more talking with their mouths than their wallets.
If you've not invested into the best experience possible, then why should your opinion be acknowledged? Plus is 70 dollars a year that equates to about $6 dollars a month....what do you expect to get, a choice?🤣
The day that beggers become choosers is the day that gaming dies. How many of the new releases have you purchased? If the answer is none, be happy with what is given. When you're playing the latest, you have little concern for the hand outs. Just a thought, champ.🤣
Personally I am looking forward to Hell Let Loose. I don't think I would have dived in with a purchase for that one, but I am dead curious to play it... I am hoping it is just the kind of MP I have been hoping for since R6S went doolally.
Yeah it looks great for sure. I've watched a few people play it on PC and I'm interested to know it's transitioned to console.
Yesss!! Played HLL open beta and it was amazing. The immersiveness, the one bullet shot, you can't just go running around shooting like in CoD or Bf.
Two martial arts expert attempt to recreate some of the moves from Mortal Kombat X.
Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat XL received a minor update today that is apparently related to some interface changes as per the patch notes.
one thing I heave learnt this gen is patience, gone are the days where I buy games on release, I now wait for GOTY version scratch that the full version to be released at a much cheaper price and bug free
this is what happens when some gamers take the approach of meh they can put it in so as long as it does not affect me, even though these sort of practices should not have been so easily overlooked
Its optional and they can actually be unlocked via the Krypt in-game. Its just for those who dont want to grind out the game.
Wow, can people use the easy fatalities in online matches, too? What bull.
It's true, it's optional. However, some peeps brought up some good points earlier.
First, this opens the door for more micro-transactions. Once people get used to it, the developers are likely to introduce more "hardcore" micro-transactions. Actually, I have to admit it is pretty shady that this came to light right on release and not before. Evolve got berated long before release, but these guys kept quiet. I wouldn't put it past them if they adopted some form of perks mechanic, which allows you to buy the best/exclusive perks to use online (inflict more damage, higher resistance, etc.).
Second, and this applies to buying the Krypt from the get go, it's hard to believe micro-transactions didn't affect the amount of playtime required to unlock everything by playing the game. We see this in GTAV Online, where earning money is slow and tedious, and at every turn, whether at your local store or online, you will find their DLC cards good for fake money.
Here's the thing, if we are against micro-transactions then we should oppose this, and every other kind, as inoffensive as they may seem. Ultimately, this affects us all. Let's remember that getting everything from the get go has always been a possibility with cheat codes, so it's not like having the option to do it is a plus.
I just really don't get what the point of this is? While yes, it is totally optional, it is also completely unnecessary and what you would expect from a free to play mobile game. These guys need to seriously cool it with the DLC and microtransaction crap, treat your customers with a little respect.
