I'm sorry, is your name GodIsNotHere or WhatIsMyProblem?
This thread has plenty of legitimate reasons for some of us to not jump to new-gen.

I don't eat McMurder Burgers or drink Starschmucks. I eat discount bread rolls and drink instant coffee because I am pinching pennies just to get by. My rent is astronomical. It's the price I pay for moving away from a death-hole scum-town that was literally suffocating my life-force. Guess what? This year i'm going back to college to improve my life, something I never could have even considered before.

Sell my old consoles? No! Why would I after investing so much time and effort into gaming on them. Just from an MK standpoint, without my Wii I couldn't play MKA, without the Gamecube I couldn't play MKDA or MKD (which I still do sometimes when i'm in the mood for the games that started my love for the series in the first place). No Xbox original would mean no MKI, II, 3 or SM, and no XB360 would mean no MKvsDC or MK9. I'm not about to throw away those hard-earned achievements when it's much simpler to buy one game rather than invest in a whole new console just for that one game. I;m seriously not interested in anything else.

That gen is so not 'dead'. All my consoles work really well, and on consoles where backwards compatibility is not always automatic (even though it damn well should be) i'd rather keep and look after my own property.

If you hate to be “that guy”, then don't be. You're coming off as a pressurising douche. Yes, there are legitimate reasons why new-gen will be better than previous-gen, but just not enough for you or anyone else to get on a high horse and start preaching to everyone else about what to do with their money. /rant

Don't really want to get involved in a gender debate, since this is not the place. I consider myself somewhat 'gender neutral'/androgynous anyway. Oh, and 'Moody Lady' kinda sounds like a clothing line. I like it.



Whoa, entitled? ME? No, I'm more than happy that they announced cross-gen release, and it'll be annoying not to mention disappointing if the delay rumour turns out to be accurate. What that means is i will have to take a break from this site (i guess some of you won't mind that so much, but whatever). I'm mostly just fed up of feeling like i'm missing out due to 'business politics' and got worked up over GodIsNotHere's posts that came off as preaching.

Right about the history, but in order to play on PC i'd have to spend money i don't have on upgrading or flat out replacing from the tiny netbook i have currently. See how that doesn't work and sticking with what i've got is better for me?

This guy gets it.

Let us not divide ourselves brothers. This is what the MAN want us to do!
In the end, we are all just trying to play the "same" game at the same relevant time, no matter the difference.

I'm not good with words, so in advance, I mean no disrespect if someone feels some type of way.

But seriously. We're not stupid.
If we were able to get the new consoles, we would have. Duh.
I've been through these type of discussions a few times before, and they end the same. I'm just glad that you guys are a bit more civil and less assholish about the subject than the ones I've witness in the past....so far.

We all have our reasons that you people won't understand.
When subjects like this come about, it's best that you just don't question it since it doesn't concern you at all. And when a person tries to explain, it always end with something along the lines of "Then you should quit if you can't support your hobby". And that's the end of that.
If you pinched your pennies and got your new toy, good for you, doesn't mean everyone else can, we're not you, try to understand that.
So save your "save money" speeches. You're not going to make anyone here miraculously do a 180 in life.

Let us mourn on the possible delay of our inferior product in peace.

Its not about you getting the consoles. Its when you start complaining when you knew the slope was slippery when you decided to stay with 10 year old hardware. Most people hate the rants and that's why they say just upgrade to avoid these delays abd types of situations. The way some of you speak its like you want the developers to feel sorry for the few when they worry about the masses and the newest technology. So fine stay on last gen but don't rant at nrs and others when you dont get the same support as current gen. Current gen came out for a reason. So that you can upgrade and make your gaming experience as best as possible. Thats why nrs is solely focused on ps4 and xbox one. So they can make mkx the best game as possible. They cant do that if they are worried about making a game capable for 10 year old hardware. And seriously you dont have to make a 180 in life to buy a 350 Dollar game system.

LOL, what is your problem? seriously,

As long as games keeps getting created an sold in the last gen consumers are in their every right and entitled to want a quality product as much as you do about your current gen game, that's how it works, buddy.

OLD gen users are MK fans as well and don't deserve any less just because you personally believe it's time to upgrade or the the console "expired", you don't get to decide in what the user gaming experienced is based. You don't get to tell people they don't deserve to "rant" about it, the publishe, NRS nor the third party developer are doing a service by porting MKX, they are doing it because it's profitable, and so, if they want money they are responsible for the quality of the product they are offering, so yeah, they actually need to worry about the "few" (untrue btw) as long as they decide to make ports.


Some of you clearly are having a hard time understanding and relating to situations you aren't personally involved with, specially given that what old gen users do with their time and money doesn't concern you at all. It's a sad display of ignorance and elitism, you better check that.


Since this kind of narrow mindedness is closely related to maturity and life experience I'm willing to overlook it because of how heterogeneous the age groups are in this board. This also speaks tons about how mob consumer mentality works in gaming though, but I won't be getting into that this time.

Many developers and people believe that. Why do you think alot of games are CURRENT GEN ONLY. If developers believed that they would make games for every past generation console that ever came out. Also it is only the few who still play old gen. Look at the charts. The current gen consoles the past year outsold the old gen consoles in every game released for both by wide margins. Its not just a few? Lets look at mkx's preorder numbers. The ps3 and 360 numbers together only add up to 40,576 preorders. Xbox one alone has more pre orders then old gen put together. Ps4 has 2x as many preorders and then some compared to old gen consoles put together. Ps4 has 105,482 units pre ordered and xbox one has 50,728. Put them together and they outsell the ps3 and 360 by over 100,000 units. Sorry that actually is true majority of the gaming community has moved on and nrs can make more than enough money on current gen alone. But anyways why do you think nrs said they want nothing to do with last gen? Because it isnt capable of making the best gaming experience so they said we will some other developer deal with that old crap. They focus only on that. Nice try though.

High Voltage will indeed handle Mkx very well by the porting. If they made Mk9 for the pc great and injustice for the ps4 then i'm sure they are higher trained to make Mkx even better than other games ported. The rumor is false thankfully. Shadow of mordor was very poor to porting the last gen consoles due not having enough people to focus all at once. Yes Ed boon cares for the last gen fans but he is just ticked off and worried that him within the collaboration with high voltage could not figure out handling the gore tech. I'm sure everything will be great and i always have faith and more faith into myself that everything will be just just and not having to worry about anything. For the next Mk game like MK4k i'll be for sure having the current gen from the console being cheeper.




The point is you guys just have strong faith and hope for the best.
no need to fight about this any further just calm down and take this topic easily
