Not yet. I'm sure there are more people that want to say that they aren't buying the game because of this.

Not ready to put pitchforks down yet as it still seems like there's been a payout drop post patch. Just not as ridiculously bad as it seemed.

Holy fuckshit WB. That's some seriously cunty behaviour. Good thing I don't particularly care for fighting games in general, or MK in particular (the games have always seemed seriously tacky to me) because we essentially should not support this shit.
Disgusting.
Edit: Welp, or maybe not. Guess we'll have to wait and see whether this is true.

And this is why post release review updates are brilliant. Because now Polygon or whomever can come back and say nah fuck your bullshit, and readjust their score viciously, appropriately downward.

Sure, but the gaming industry is becoming increasingly expensive to produce content for at greater risk to the company in the event of failure. It is not the same industry it was even ten years ago. DLC and micropayment is one way for them to extend the life of their product and bring in extra revenue to fund the next big project.
I just wanted to clarify that I do agree this is shady as hell if they patched it in. My comment was in response to it being about the money.

After preorders have already been picked up and first day walk-in sales have already been made...
At that point, WB already has your momey.

so random scrub from reddit who gets wrong idea f 2500 vs 200 boss battle (only first time is 2500) made GAF topic 6 pages of biasing
well done, we.
well done, we.
You should have read the rest of the thread. The "decrease" was due to fighting the boss again, not because of the patch.

Yeah, the game is fun but this is absolutely fucking vile. WB, HVS and NRS should be fucking ashamed for the things they're doing for this game.

Here is how the "my mate said" post went down.
Did boss got 2500
Installed v1.1
Refought boss and got 200
Blames patch despite previous games giving you less for repeated boss battles.
I think it's more like people have confidence in the unfortunate reality that game developers constantly try to put their grubby fingers in your wallet after first sale. People certainly got it wrong this time but it speaks to an atmosphere of distrust between customer and content provider.

I can't believe nobody that has the game has just done a quick check yet. If I had the game I would have uninstalled the game and just did a quick ladder without the patch to see how different it is. I'd have done that as soon as I saw this thread.
so ill get the same before patch? he should gauged that with a normal fight.

I was thinking about picking this up as it sounds great & the reviews have been scoring very high, but i think i'm going to wait for the Komplete Edition after i have played DoA5:LR to death, i thought that all the DLC in that game was bad, but i'm going to hold off this for now.
Soon there is going to be a game (straw) that simply breaks the camels back with some crazy day one DLC or MicroTransactions in a full priced game, it just seems to be getting worse each time

The Goro dlc and the other shitty dlc made people jump the gun on this.

I am still checking through my footage as that wasn't the only time and location complaints about lower payouts occurred.
That being said all this shit does muddy the waters agreed.
the thing is without the patch you still get 2500 for repeating.
there's just not enough info.

More like 3-4. I prefer it this way since MK9 had a lot of filler.

Okay thanks for looking into this lets just hope its diminishing returns and not a cash grab by WB.
The curious thing here is I'm sort-of okay with part of this, in that accelerating progression for reviewers on a deadline does kind of make sense for simple reasons of expediency. That does raise an interesting question about how to review a grind, you can't really get a feel for the grind *and* a feel for the progression behind the grind in the time that's available; a reviewer on a deadline will only be able to represent one of them.
Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty scummy. But the problem at the heart of it is kind of a problem whether it's scummy or not.

Good to hear if this is a misunderstanding.
Took me 4.5 hours, but I played a good third of it on the harder pre-patched version.
If your on pc id say 25 is reasonable (cd keys).
Yeah wtf is going on? I'm at download 20 and have most the roster but no Stages so the game just crashes in practice mode.

Don't download the patch. Have one fight. See how many coins you get. Quit game. Download patch. See how many coins you get. If they're the same then do nothing. If there's a difference then uninstall the game and install again without patch.
WHY HAS NOBODY DONE HIS YET?!

I get what you're saying, but I personally don't support practice. Buying the actual game is all you should have to pay for, but with the exception of story based DLC's.

Yeah, why's this taking so long to verify? It shouldn't be that hard.

I did this before I went to work. First fight prepatch I got 1000 coins. Did it again post patch, 500 coins.
So half gone?
I'm going off memory so I could be wrong. after work I'll try it and grab screen shots if no one has done it by then.

Thank god they only limited exclusive characters to pre-order bonuses and have micro transactions where you can buy easy mode fatalities.

Spot on! I almost considered passing on this game.
Is there any way to prevent the patch from being downloaded and installed OTHER than just disconnecting your PS4 from the internet?
This. It's no biggy.
