Mortal Kombat X (PC)

This was one game which I was waiting eagerly to get my hands on. Once I got it finally to my horror you had download the entire 35 GB of game in 29 parts adds to that a recently released patch of 15.8 GB. Since this is India & not US where there is allowance of much liberal internet usage- a fact which the developers could have taken into account. This humongous download was a big let letdown even if you can play the game with limited capabilities till the rest of the files are downloaded in background. Make no mistake the game is superbly designed & fun to play but on PC platform it does come with it’s baggage of problems

MKX is probably best fighting game since Injustice. No wonder both these titles are from netherrealm studios. The action is FLUID. And this is a complex and very deep fighting game. You will need days to practice a single character to perfect its moves and use them consistently during combat. There are multiple layers of special moves and combos which can be combined with normal attacks followed by special moves to take the maximum juice out of your opponent. It is easier said than done and required meticulous practice and perfect timings. Few moves needs to be so precise that a delay of 0.2 seconds will not register the command and failing the move. I have spent many hours in training mode to perfect those tricky moves and to build a strategy to come up with ideal moves at right time. Each player has three different styles and you can perfect the one that suits your play style. E.g. I am working with Scorpion and now able to defeat all characters in medium difficulty setting with ease. Still working on perfecting the art of winning at Hard difficulty. This requires to used advanced training combos which are difficult to use during combat. But when they are used, it gives a sense of exhilaration ! Then there are towers, story mode, faction, online fighting and Krypt. Animation is fluid and awesome. Graphics are mind blowing and something never seen before. It is still way better than Street Fighter 5. I can safely suggest folks to go for this one.

I had no option left but to purchase a PC version of the game since PS4 was so expensive and I already owned a PS3. Thanks to Sony they ruined my happiness with Steam (absolute nonsense platform) which forces its users to download obscene amount of data given our Internet provider speeds. It’s as good as downloading 3-4 games at once which will slow you down until you lose all interest in the game. I have hardly played this game to my satisfaction and its asks for an update which takes eons to complete. I have uninstalled the game and god forsaken Steam from my computer for good. Never again will I go for Steam. Had to let out some steam myself!!!

The game is a good game. However it is not smart to buy the 900 rs dvd as it is just a digital code with with a cd containing steam setup which can be downloaded frm steam.com for free. rather i suggest buying the digital code that costs much less money
