Even still, certain stages caused noticeable stuttering and after a few minutes the game would start to hitch and falter no matter where I fought. I managed to get the game running smooth enough to fart around in the practice mode and work on some combos. After some rooting about in support forums, I altered my settings, manually installed some drivers, and fussed about until I got the game in working - but far from ideal - order. My situation is far from uncommon, with mobs of flustered would-be-warriors with top-end gaming rigs complaining they were in the same bind in the Steam discussion pages. There is no reason for Mortal Kombat X to perform this badly. I run plenty of modern multi-platform games with nary a hitch. My processor is admittedly old, but I have plenty of RAM and a muscular GTX 770 to help it power through. Actual fighting was impossible, with the action portrayed like a garish, bloody View-Master reel. Things went south as soon as I hit the character select screen and the fighters started drawing themselves in one painful frame at a time. I mean in the “this game doesn’t work” way. I don’t mean in some sort of prissy, PC elitist “anything less than 60 FPS burns my eyes” kind of way (although you could make a strong argument that if any genre of game has the right to demand a consistent and high frame rate, it’s competitive fighting games). When I first installed Mortal Kombat X it was unplayable. Rig: Intel i7-920 2.70 GHz, 12GB of RAM, GeForce GTX 770 GPU Mostly though, I’ve borne witness to a haphazard Frankenstein of a once noble creature, shakily lashed together with baling wire, hope, and enormous 15 gig patches.ĭeveloper: NetherRealm Studios, High Voltage Software (PC) I’ve seen occasional glimmers of that game poking out from the darkness of this busted PC port. The one that runs smoothly and can go online and play against real human opponents. That’s the Mortal Kombat X on the PS4 and Xbox One anyway.
The variation modifiers giving each character three distinct fighting styles is fantastically implemented, not only accommodating more play-styles, but rewarding character loyalists with options in the face of unfavorable match-ups. It combines the hallmark Mortal Kombat dramatic flair with a fighting system competitive players can take seriously. The single player content is second to none in the genre, providing plenty of things to do while moving the series lore forward in a meaningful way. In the abstract, Mortal Kombat X is a great game. I have never played a game that I’ve wanted to love so badly that seems so set and determined to antagonize me than the PC port of Mortal Kombat X.
