When I heard this game would be done in seasons with DLC, I was a bit disappointed in that it seemed like a shameless cash grab. But after 3When I heard this game would be done in seasons with DLC, I was a bit disappointed in that it seemed like a shameless cash grab. But after 3 seasons of fighters, gameplay tweaks, good online play, and a really in depth fighting system with excellent tutorials, I would go as far as to say this game is my favorite fighter of this console generation. I mean I would definitely recommend this game over Smash ultimate, SFV, MKX, MK11, or or the new samurai shodown. Its not the best fighter of all time, just the best of this generation.

This is not killer instinct. If you wanted fatalities like on snes, forget it. If you wanted fast paced combat, forget it. If you want aThis is not killer instinct. If you wanted fatalities like on snes, forget it. If you wanted fast paced combat, forget it. If you want a street fighter, mixed with marvel super heroes, this is for you.

Quelle est cette odeur nauséabonde ? c'est l'odeur du combo free to pay-pay to win, autrment dit du jeu gratuit à péage multi-directionnelQuelle est cette odeur nauséabonde ? c'est l'odeur du combo free to pay-pay to win, autrment dit du jeu gratuit à péage multi-directionnel optionnel très fortement recommandé : en effet enchaîner les combats avec toujours le même personnage devient lassant, aussi profitez de notre pack à xx euros, c'est une promo ! et laissez-vous tentez par quelques micro-transactions par la même occasion !D'un autre côté, on ne voit vraiment pas pourquoi on s'infligerait ça puisqu'il s'agit du pire jeu de baston de tous les temps. Graphiquement à peine correct et affublé d'une direction artistique qui n'a rien d'artistique, ses animations font penser à un vieux jeu 2D du fond du troisième tiroir en bas dans la cave, c'est-à-dire deux frames d'animation maximum. Il en résulte une impression de saccade déplorable, ce qui, combiné à la vitesse délirante des coups, rend le jeu totalement illisible et grotesque.La musique provient certainement d'une poubelle tant elle écorche les oreilles et en ce qui concerne le multi-joueurs qu'il soit local ou sur le réseau, c'est toujours celui qui appuie le plus vite qui gagne. Très fatigant pour le pouce et la manette tout cela.Il est clair que n'importe quel jeu japonais met ce Killer machin à l'amende sans forcer, car s'ils font la course aux micro-paiements également, ils s'avèrent au moins jolis à regarder et d'une prise en main correcte. Tout le contraire de cette catastrophe digitale d'un mauvais goût flagrant.

I've always wanted to buy the new 2013 KI, but i didn't want to buy an Xbox One for it. Now,after 3 years, it has finally come to PC. AndI've always wanted to buy the new 2013 KI, but i didn't want to buy an Xbox One for it. Now,after 3 years, it has finally come to PC. And THIS...is the definitive version in my opinion :). Cross-buy, and cross-play with Xbox One is amazing, the net code is the BEST of any fighting game at the moment, and the best part about KI on PC is that, unlike The Xbox One version, you DON'T need an Xbox Live subscription to play online! And did i mention? its Free-to-download, and you only buy the seasons you want, or if you love the game, you can buy all seasons in the "Supreme Edition", which is $10 bucks LESS on PC and if you buy it on PC and if you have an Xbox One, everything you buy on the PC will show up on the Xbone version, and Vice versa =D. Now...lets talk about the cons. Really, for me at least, it all comes down to some of the purchasing options. Shadow Jago does not come with any combo pack or season, and is $10 stand alone. Not a bad value, as you get some KI gold as well, about $5 worth of it, but it would have been nice to buy him without the shadow jago bundle for just $5 like the rest of the solo cast. Also, I owned season 1 that i got free with games with gold back in january (i purchased it from my 360 incase i got an Xbone) and i just bought season 3 combo breaker edition, and i wanted to complete it with season 2. Thing is, season 2 is not available standalone. Only as a bundle with season 1 (which i own) which cost $30. Hopefully they offer more bundle option in the future. Well, that about wraps it up. Sorry it was so long lol. I am a huge FGC guy, and play A LOT of fighting games, so ifelt my FGC peeps would want to know how it is in huge detail. Thats it guys.

Entering its third season, Killer Instinct has finally reached PC audience in its best incarnation to date. A fighting game that will please different player profiles, KI is a spectacular game that runs butter-smooth, with great netcode and one of the best tutorials we've ever seen in genre.
