Hot Sauce 2,730 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Quote Before you even get into a match, you’ve got to deal with egregious load times lasting, on average, around 40 seconds. Quote Ranked online play is especially frustrating because of the fact that every match is a first to three set, and despite the fact I’m playing with the same characters on the same stage, with the same Kameos, it still takes about 40 seconds of staring at a black screen in between each match of the set. Quote But the real kicker is the actual performance of the gameplay during a fight. There’s a lot of slowdown that affected my timing and led to dropped combos, similar to how it’d feel if I was playing online with bad netcode… only this was playing locally, against a CPU. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,921 Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 5 minutes ago, Hot Sauce said: you missed one of the best parts If Story mode is all you’re interested in, then you may find some value in MK1 on the Switch. The cutscenes are pre-rendered and look great, even though the switch to in-engine fights is incredibly jarring, and the problem with long load times is mitigated due to the fact that you’re just watching the story as it loads. But you’d be less frustrated just watching it on YouTube. The story mode is the best part but you’d still be better off just watching it on YouTube than playing through it on switch 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sabo 442 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I still can't believe they're charging 70 bucks for this. If it was like 35 bucks or so I don't think people would be shitting on the game so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooke 2,029 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Ed Boon says they will fix it. Lol. Refund people's money would be the fix. If they were going to make an MK on Switch it needed it's own engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
