@Granger And you can blame Capcom for not using XBL's P2P matchmaking, and using their own servers, which got shut down. PSN has no such integrated service, so you can expect this from a host of older games.
@Vic Fontaine You're obviously not aware of MK Trilogy's playable bosses and the option to tone down boss damage, making them competitive in a vs. match, and not overpowering. How s that such a terrible idea?
UMK3 (aside from the crappy 16-bit home versions) didn't have Brutalities or playable bosses. Those were introduced formally in Trilogy.
UMK3 was also incomplete in the sense that the new characters didn't even have complete finishing move lists. Ever try Classic Sub-Zero's 2nd fatality in UMK3? He didn't even have one!
The female ninja hit collision was so glitchy that you couldn't even start a combo from a jump-in punch against them. The 2nd hit would whiff.
Boon and crew are HORRIBLE when it comes to upgrading titles, as they create problems that weren't initially there. Don't EVEN get me started on the MK4>MK Gold transition.
It's not "Komplete" until it has playable bosses, a theater mode for the story cinematics, and Nekropoils entries for the DLC characters. Otherwise, I'll refer it to the "MK9: Paid-for, yet still half-assed edition"
NRS has an unending habit of "updating" their MK games with incomplete additions.
