Yeah, they were rough on 11 too. It got patched, but still remained low framerate. Few specific fatalities chug worse.

The uploaded videos are beyond rough, theyre unfinished. For example, at one point giant pixel blocks appear on Cage’s chest. My guess is the game has a big day 1 patch

Ok that makes me feel a bit better. Game is getting dunked on in the MK leak subreddit but Im convinced it’s not finished

If I remember correctly, the same thing happened with MK11 and it turned out that the leaked physical copy did not have a patch either.

    Narration for menu items is available. All users are initially guided towards the Text-to-Speech feature on the first launch.

    Colorblind Modes​

    Colorblind pre-set modes edit user interface (UI) and heads-up display (HUD) elements that might not be accessible to all in their original colors. Presets exist for Protanopia (Green Light), Deuteranopia (Red Light), and Tritanopia (Blue Light). The intensity of the colorblind mode can be adjusted.

    Extra Audio Feedback​

    Users can choose between four presets that toggle additional audio cues for gameplay elements. The volume of these cues can be tweaked individually:

    • Distance between Fighters – Adjust the volume of a sound cue that gets faster and quieter as distance increases.

    • Hit Type – Adjust the volume of unique sounds that play for high, mid, low, or overhead hits.

    Invasions Mode Navigation Assistance​

    When the player arrives at an Invasions mode location, the game will play four sounds corresponding to these directions in sequence – Up, Right, Down, and Left. The status of each direction is represented by the sounds that play when you adjust the volume on this setting. The sounds represent these statuses in sequence – Objective, Available, Locked, No Path.

    • A 30 GB day one patch is shenanigans. That’s practically a digital game without the benefits of actually being a digital game.

    This is right but other versions codes should come
    Switch ones..not planned it seems

    It's strange, anyway the analyzes at this point don't have enough time to reach the launch.

    It is quite strange what has happened with the reviews of this game.


    In a few hours we will be able to see gameplays of the people who have bought the deluxe edition, with the day 1 patch applied.

    I would not expect many, if any Switch version reviews at the lifting of the embargo.

    They diatributed review keys for other consoles exactly 8h ago, it is a 100GB download

    I wonder how much other outlets have played it before posting a score..

    Still no Switch codes from what I know

    It surely seems better than what the complete lack of Switch revuew codes pushed me to think about it

    Cassie, Kung Jin, Jade, Noob, Cyrax, Sektor, Ghostface, Conan the Barbarian, Harumi and possibly Sareena and the T-1000 have all had intro dialogue datamined for them (or partial dialogues for Conan, Ghostface and the T-1000)

    scorpion Harumi or Kuai Lang's Harumi? 🤔

    pronably the latter lol

    I'd guess that since the Invasion intro suggests Harumi's death is a fixed thing in most timelines, but... I guess there's an infinite number of timelines now so they can just do whatever they want.

    main timeline Harumi is still alive, so it's probably her

    After having been able to play the real version of MK1 on Switch with the patch, I can only say that a large part of those screenshots and criticisms on the internet are trolls and liars, they are using images of a version without any patch.

    Here I share a few screenshots i made of the game patched in portable mode.

    F6ZZAVwbcAAlzHW
    F6ZZAVybMAA0xp_
    F6ZZAVXaUAAF5ti


    and like MK11, the game runs at 60fps in kombats, having some drops only in intros and fatalities.

    I'm also playing right now and game looks exceptionally good on Switch. Much crispier than MK11.

    The problem people on the net are having is that the other versions look much much better in comparison. And it's NOT a fair comparison as they are two generations ahead.

    The menu lag needs to be patched though.

    He adds that on top of that, many are believing that the meme images that trolls post are the real game on Switch, and they are not.

    And yes, they should improve the menu, it would be appreciated.
     
    I only had time to play a few versus matches before work but it looks comparable to 11, I'm sure it will get some optimatzions here and there to fix things up. Biggest issue is the prematch load times.
     
    Well I’ve finally played through the story mode. I’m honestly liking how the new timeline is turning out but I can’t help but feel the story mode here is a little weaker than in past games or at least it doesn’t feel quite as impactful. Still it was a good time

    Yeah I feel like I’m being gaslit at points. That ign review has comparisons footage and none of the switch portions have textures loaded in

    There are things that need to be fixed about the game, but I’d rather major website be honest with their criticisms
     
    Afaik the story mode goes, this might be my favorite? Coin flip between this and MK9, but it's the first in ages I've really enjoyed an MK story mode, especially with how messy 11 and especially Aftermath were.

    Letting guys like Reptile and Baraka, along with a number of 3D era guys, have the spotlight was a great idea.

    Finished the story mode last night. As someone who plays MK only for the story I was pretty satisfied even if the ending was a little low key.

    The lead up though. Oh my god I was having the time of my life.
     
    It mostly never a good sign for a game if gameplay isn’t shown for a version before release. MK11 was bad enough. They should have jus waited for an enhanced or definitive edition that would launch with the next switch. An update isn’t going to save this game.
