Mar. 16th, 2017 09:54 amSo I unlocked all the costumes I could unlock in MKX without having to play people online. Which basically means I'm never going to get them. Currently working on the other unlocks. Most of which just involve playing characters a certain number of times. However, the other involve playing hourly and premier towers. Which involve an internet connection, but more importantly, require Netherrealm to keep the servers up. I mean, hopefully they'll stay up for a while, but the game is a couple of years old now and their new game Injustice 2 is coming out in a couple of months.
Its kinda annoying, because the premier tower refreshes on a WEEKLY basis, Monday night/Tuesday morning. There's a few dozen of them, because there's one for every character, and the first three games, as well as a lot of the major holidays. I already missed out on a couple because I just didn't play that mode the first couple of weeks I got it. And heh, depending on how the holidays fall, I might miss the Christmas or New Year one because I'd most likely be away from my PS4 during those times. Like its Tuesday to Monday, so in theory I should be able to do the Xmas one before leaving for NYC, and be able to do New Year's after I get back. But I guess it depends where they fall in the week and when the game decides to start them. But its not really that big a deal, because they just unlock stuff for your kombat kard when you beat them.
More troublesome are the hourly towers, because they unlock kustom kombat modifiers. Now, I don't mind missing out on aesthetic things, but at the very least I try to unlock everything in a game that affects gameplay. Otherwise I feel I'm missing out. Like not seeing a costume, whatever. But not playing something the developers programmed in feels like I haven't gotten my money's worth. I have 32 left to get, but its random which one shows up every hour. So basically, its a waiting thing, hoping they happen to show up during the hours I'm able to play. I've definitely started getting more repeats in a day than new ones at this point.
Also, I wish they were clearer with how certain modes, like test your might, worked. Heh when I first played ne, I was thinking, you have to press all four of the pad buttons simultaneously, then LT+RT? Thankfully, I quickly learned it was just EITHER LT or RT. But for a while, the mode seemed impossible, because at higher levels I couldn't press all four buttons simultaneously to focus might enough. But it turns out its not push all four buttons simultaneously, I guess its just pressed all of them a lot, not necessarily at the same exact moment. So once I learned you could just roll your thumb back and forth between square+x and triangle+O, the mode became infinitely easier.
TV commentary:
Arrow- Ha, I didn't even realize that! ( spoiler cut )
The Expanse- Freakin' Belter trash! ( spoiler cut )
