That launch was an embarassement on so many levels.
Not to mention that I live in Japan and I could only start downloading the DLC packs yesterday in the evening...
First time I preordered a game on steam... Can't say I'm satisfied with the services provided here.

However, the game itself is great which is why I strongly recommend it, even though I am still pissed off at this whole joke of a launch.
Runs very smoothly, except during some cutscenes in the story mode (when this happens, the sound and the image are slightly off afterwards).

There is a ton of contents. And some DLC that was cut from the game on purpose (what did you expect? It's the norm nowadays so...)

As a fighting game, it's pretty solid. The variations are fun to play even if some kinda feel gimmicky.

And the fatalities are awesome. Yes, there is a 30 FPS lock on the intros/X-rays/fatalities, but I really don't mind at all. It does feel more cinematic, and doesn't affect the gameplay in any way. I get why they chose this visual approach.
The brutalites are also a very nice touch, and it's cool to find out what are the conditions to land them.

I also like the new chara design, feels a lot cooler, and it's nice to see some great new female characters (Kitana's Assassin variation looks really cool too!).

I'm having some issues finding people with good ping online (the ping icon keeps on loading all the time), so I hope some people living in Japan might read this review and add me for some fun fights ;)
