there is also the fact that even though I prefer the plot of MK9 to MKX, MKX has so much content with variations and such that the game is still incredibly fresh to me.  Not to mention killer instinct. 
It's a shame about the gear system, as I'm actually a fan of collecting equipment and rpg mechanics like that.  If it didn't lock certain moves, I'd be far less irritated. 
Don't get me wrong though, definitely going to pick this up, just not sure when.  Part of me wants it right away, but I don't need it.

I'll have Tekken 7 and its own long story mode to keep me occupied until this game drops. and by that time, Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite will be out. lol

Every time equip systems like the gear system or gems from SF X Tekken have been implemented, they prove to be more of a gimic than a serious mechanic.. so all the pro players will likely stick to keeping that option off.

Yep. I remember the gems system being like that as well... as I said, gimics. Once capcom cleaned up their act and implemented that pretty much noone touched gems again... which is probably why SF X Tekken died so fast. It was fun, but far from Capcom's best, as far as I'm concerned.

I wonder how usable the menus/equipping gear will be for me if I use PS4 share play. Using Cloud OCR I was able to do stuff with the PS4 interface that doesn't talk, and was able to navigate some of the MKX menus.

I'm not huge into competitive play, so the fact that Multiverse is the way it is kinda sucks. Though, MK towers are this way as well with the challenges. I wonder if I should get Tekken 7... didn't get very far at all in 6 due to the way the stages were designed.

How did you use cloud OCR for console menus? 
by the way, in contrary to my last post, I do know how to spell Marvel.

He most likely means quick time events... which will be true. and if they're anything like the last game, we'll be stuck without a way to hit them accurately, like in the first injustice and MK X. Luckily, you don't have to hit them right to advance the story.

Well I've already heard the first 7 minutes of the story due to the mobile version and some youtubers, and it sounds pretty damn great. I'm excited, I know a good deal of you are too. Tuesday can't come fast enough!

I also heard the first chapter of story mode. It still sounds very much like the first Injustice and MK X... which can be good or bad, depending on your preference. I like it, but I can't help but wish they'd try a few new things... and also, after hearing the fight against cyborg in story mode, the punches and kicks definitely don't sound painful to me. lol

Man, the cinamatics are great, but in the actual fights, the audio sounds terrible and compressed. Not sure why that is, but those punches sound weak.

Ok, the hel? Maybe it's due to the bad audio of the video, but those fighting sounds, urm, what did they do this time?
Greetings Moritz.

Yes, in fact, they actually do... the same sounds are used in both versions of the game. If you watch the ps4 version of the game, you'll notice that although less compress ,the sound effects themselves still sound very weak, just maybe less so. The reason this sounds especially bad is that it's also mono.

Personally, i think i will skip this one, and play the new Tekkin and Street Fighter V. I'm open to trying new games, this one just doesn't grab me for some reason.
