Killer Instinct (PC/XB1)

[Krandor]

I'm still downloading so can't confirm yet, but sounds like there's an issue with the crossbuy function for the Characters/Season Passes. (Edit : looks like you have to launch it first on Xbone if you've previously played it there for content to transfer over)

PC version also apparently matches the frame rate to your monitor's refresh rate, which is obviously no bueno for a fighting game if your display is over 60hz

[Krandor]

There are mad bugs all over the place (missing text, some graphical errors) but other then the frame rate goof I mentioned in my previous post game is 100% playable on my Asus G series laptop.

welp, finally upgraded to win10, first thing i got was KI, waiting on the next paycheck to get my S1,2,3 pack. Game looks so much nicer than xb1.

Bought it just because the netcode is so godlike. Xbox Live on PC is still the clumsiest platform in existence. If you plan on playing with friends make sure you install the Xbox App, otherwise you cant invite or accept an invite from them. Besides that runs great on my midtier PC and I can actually play that laggy scumbag warc without any noticeable lag (seriously couldn't tell).

Oh and if you want to disable your mic in KI: Settings -> Privacy -> Microphone -> switch off KI

[Krandor]

I only have a laptop atm that has a 75Hz display (refresh rate can't be changed to 60hz), so I can't really play the game with other people until they fix that. Though practicing and playing the CPU with the game running 25% faster is kinda entertaining.

Shadow Jago is now permanently available, thought he costs $9.99

Microsoft reported that 6 million different users played the game over the course of March.

Does that count the free trial version as well? I mean that number could be whatever they wanted it to be really. Would be awesome if it's in that many homes though.

[Krandor]

Yeah that includes anyone who played for free, so doesn't necessarily speak to how much money they made.

Still, comparing the roughly 1 million sold of SFV vs 6 million unique players is a good sign for KI's future.

I love that every character has their own unique attributes. I'm not huge into fgc, but this game is so solid.

[fantasticdan]

I kinda want to try the game, but fuck windows 10.

[Krandor]

Why? There's nothing wrong with Windows 10 and it runs better then every other version.

[Obsidian]

Because xenophobia, why else? It's literally Windows 7 with a nicer Start menu, but fuck Windows 8 so obviously fuck Windows 10 right?

[Krandor]

With a start menu replacer Windows 8 was great.

[Obsidian]

I liked Windows 8 (8.1 particularly) but my laptop is touch-enabled. A lot of people didn't like it though and it was at least a little understandable because it was actually a little different.

3.1/Mira is out, only 1.3GB

[Krandor]

Mira is awesome. Her damage output is fucking insane if you go full #yolo with her self damaging moves. Could probably kill in a single combo if you land a counter breaker.

I just tried her out against cpu just to see how she works. Everyone usually says every new character is broken, but fuck. She's so damn strong. And you can recover your health? It's hard to see her not getting nerfed, but fuck if I don't love her.

[Krandor]

She can only recover health for the damage she does to herself
