Unfortunately, after winning, it took me straight to the next fight. At first, I thought it was just a cool in media res thing. But upon launching the campaign, I was thrown straight into a fight as Nightwolf. Thankfully, both the base campaign and Aftermath were ready, so I decided to blast through the new DLC story while I waited. Grimacing, I went back to rooting around in the menus, desperate to see if any other parts of the game had installed. These were all comically small downloads, too, meaning they weren't the actual characters, but rather 'checks' to see if I had the right version of the game. The sheer amount of pop-ups, coupled with how fast they pop, put early aughts porn sites to shame. For those keeping count at home, that puts it in the ballpark of 90-120 pop-ups in the span of a few minutes. 'This item is queued.' 'This item is downloaded.' 'This item is installing.' 'This item is ready to play.' Three or four notifications per download, all at the same time.

See, MK11 Ultimate comes with Aftermath and both Fighter Packs released so far, which is kind of the reason I bought it. Nope! It was actually a code to essentially unlock half of the entire game. I thought it was just some extra skins, or a preorder bonus, or something to that effect.

That's when, in the open case in front of me, I realized that the game came with a DLC voucher. No problem - I'd just mess around with Jade and Johnny in training mode, brush up on my combos, wait until the game's countdown finished, and then I could actually play. In fact, most of the characters weren't even installed yet.

Then I realized something: playing online was greyed out. I got my title splash, confirming this was definitely the 'Ultimate' version, and jumped right into the familiar menu. After I put the disc into our PS5 last night, I plugged in my fight stick and sat down, ready to dust off my Johnny Cage and waste some newcomers online.
