GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Ark Kuvis]

X-Box Exclusives: Uh... how about Killer god damn Instinct?

A free-to-play fighting game where I have to pay to get all the characters? 

Uh... how about get a SNES? That one is supposedly better anyways.

real talk, this was debunked years ago. Because Microsoft is really shitty at marketing.

the game is free, yes. But you only get one character upon downloading the free version. For the other 7 characters in Season 1, you just download the combo pack which is like 20 bucks. Amazing value for a game that looks as great as it does, really.

There's the same sort of deal for Season 2 as well, which is still getting released. If you pay like 20 bucks or something, you get the next eight characters as they are coming out. They even included an extra character, Omen, for those who purchased the combo pack. It's a weird pricing strategy, but at least Microsoft is supporting the game, y'know?

also lmao the SNES port of Killer Instinct sucked lets be honest here. You can actually download the Acade version of Killer Instinct on Xbone. I think you can do the same for KI2? But I mean eh.

but yeah KI looks really cool but it's not my THING. I'm only good at silly platform fighting games featuring Nintendo characters I don't have the patience to use a Fight Stick and jam out ultra combos. But I like watching KI matches so there's that. Maximilian has poured more hours into marketing that game by his videos alone than Microsoft has thoughout its entire lifespan lol.
