Wow, that's a really useful gif for just about anything XBone related.
I'ts call a demo or a shareware (dawn all the old games that come to my mind)
I didn't think they'd actually attempt something so dumb.
How is it dumb? You're getting a game you don't have to pay a penny to play.
the game was mega huge back in the days. It was a new fresh contender after years of SF2 and MK dominations in the arcades. Also the CGI graphics were incredible for it time. It was the first of its kind. you had to be there when it came out. Comparing a fighting game released in 1994 to a modern fighter is just dumb as saying the gameplay is crap by seeing one minute of demo gameplay.I never got why people treated Killer Instinct like a sacred cow.
That's convenient, because now no one wants to play it anyway.
so it's like sf4, but free.
Would you prefer to pay £40/$60?
I don't mind. And don't forget how much money Valve makes off accessories in TF2.
Now don't do something stupid like tell me KI is no TF2. The point is that it's a strategy to attract gamers to a console and subscription service.
Also, this is just another move towards games as a service on an all-digital console. I actually like it if they make a great fighter.

None of those characters are cammy thoughBecause you have no incentive to buy any characters outside of your main and the developer has no incentive to fix broken characters that haven't sold well or nerf over-powerful characters that are selling really well.
Imagine a P2P Street Fighter IV. Everyone would buy Ken, Ryu and Sagat and that's it.
That's why P2P doesn't work in every genre.
No, it's like SFIV, but worse. At least in that game all the characters are available to you right out of the gate and players are free to experiment with any of the cast. with Killer Instinct, I have to be willing to commit with my wallet just to try a character out.
If it turns out that I don't enjoy playing with a character as much as I thought I would, I have to shell out again to try someone else. Then there's the effect it has on local multiplayer. Running a Killer Instinct tournament becomes an expensive and tedious affair when you have to provide multiple setups with every character purchased. Or the scenario of going to a friend's house only to discover that they havehn't purchased any of the characters you play.
LOL F2P.
Well I wasn't interested before, and now I'm really not interested.
Want to try out a character? Want to use features you used to take for granted? Keep paying up.
according to max, game seems good.
stop bashing it.

What the hell is Microsoft doing this gen? It's all going wrong.
Perhaps a good idea would be to see how much content you get for £40 and make a judgement as to whether it justifies the expense.for a fully featured game? yeah.
