I'd be happy to help with this - the guide itself is not complete, but depending on what you want to know, I might be able to assist
PM me with your gamertag and we can talk through details there - it'll be easier to explain.

Hello,
I'll list a few things here as well.
In this game, most of the menus wrap around, so if you press down arrow from the bottom option you go back to the top.
When you first get your xbox you will have to sign in and then install the game on your account along with all the different adons you want, the ultra edition is a bundle so you have to install all the different things in the bundle like the characters then the edition. Once that's done, launch the game, and after the logos, if you press the start button (called the menu button) on your controler it will say killer instinct then it will check for downloadable content, which will take a little while.
Eventually you'll hear a whoosh type sound and the music will pick up a bit, sounding more like a tune. This means you are in the main menu.
From here I'll let sightless explain some stuff to you, but I actually think it would be nic to put some things here in the topic as well because I think a lot of people will be asking about menu guides soon enough. I can also help with this too.

There's an actual guide being compiled huh? Looking forward to reading the whole thing whenever it gets done...

hello all

*sigh* am stilll awaiting the delivering of the console ... it is 19:45 in the Netherlands now, and i don't thing it will be delivered today, while it was the appointment ...

Am glad there is a menu guide being worked on and the information already given here is also valuable.

Would be nice to have more info instead of so much criptic stuff though. Should be like gamefaq where the guide is released and updated as more information is available. Just so that those of us who don't have the game or console yet don't have to hunt down or constantly pester people for information. lol But I'm looking forward to it whenever it's released!

True that. I'm just saying it's hard enough to find information... might as well have a guide where contributions can be made so people who find out things in the game can help fill in those missing sections. But I definitely get that... there are guides I've started and just don't say anything about because they're far from complete.

Hmm. Now I'm definitely intrigued... but I see your point. lol

Well, bringing this topic back... because looks like I'm finally getting my hands on the console tomorrow. As much info as possible would be appreciated about starting the game for the first time, menu layouts, story mode information, etc. Character selection screen would be good, unless I can experiment with it and just figure it out from there.

That's a start. lol thanks. Story mode doesn't seem that complicated to me... the same as most other games with a story mode, fight after fight, with a cutscene or dialog thrown in here and there, from what I've watched. Each story mode seems to take about 25 minutes to half an hour to finish. and the reason you can only play as one character is because you only have the free version of Killer instinct, so the character you can play rotates every now and then. I'm planning on buying the season 2 combo breaker pack, since I don't really care much for the comstumes or the original killer instinct 2, but I want all the characters.

Also, where is practice mode? Menu information is far too sparse... and I want to get in some practice before taking on any cpu opponents. My head's already spinning from the xbox1's interface.. so much less streamlined than the ps4's. lol I'm guessing it's somewhere below fight?

if any one wants to add me to xbox my gamer tag is jessiepp.  i also have k i.

hi

@assault,

When the  cue still states killer instinct is in it, it is still downloading. you can reach the cue by arrowing down in the home screen, going to my games and apps, hitting the a button. It is very possible the system already opens up one of the three options contained in that menu, so when this is the case, hit the left Arrow button till you reach the said menu. Arrow down to cue and press the right Arrow again and you can see what's in the cue.

I also can't figure out how far the download actually was, but just wait and it will dissapear out of the cue at some point.

I don't know for sure, that when you buy the pack with all the fighters, if the game will register as well, when i view it the logical way, i don't think so, since the game is free during january, but i asume we should still buy killer instinct when this free trial is over.

But i don't think you will lose the add-on you purchased, that would be rude and absolutely not fair when xbox requires you to buy the add-on again with KI it's trial period being over after january ...

But i also had to get used to the system, i used the very first xbox when i was sighted, and had no clue how to operate this system with me being blind now. But i discovered that with trying and a bit of patience (wich i normally don't have a lot of hehe), you can discover a lot within the menu's.

And about the store, however the store on the console is rather accessible, in my oppinion, i wasn't able to purchase mortal combat x via the console.
I got a message that a different payment method was required. I asked in another topic how i could fix it, but in that case the subject was music and not games, but sightless suggested me to look in the store of

http://www.xbox.com

And just at that point i wanted to purchase skullgirls for xbox as well, and i figured out that i was able to buy it via xbox.com as well.

The only difficulty i found was, that you should pair your PayPal account via the microsoft account portal, wich i don't have a link of now, just google it and you will find it.

In the case of a creditcard is more easy, just try to buy a game, scroll down and you can change your payment information, and eventually you will find a add a creditcard button. Add all the required information and you are all set.

hth
