Injustice: Gods Among Us

This fighting game from the makers of the new MK game was just released last week. Did anybody grab it? I played the demo on the ps3 and liked it enough, and also liked MK. Sounds like a disappointment to the more hardcore fighting fans, but I think MK was anyway so that's not a surprise. Anyway I was just curious if anybody got it, but it's currently on my wait list for a better price. I didn't play MK much on the multiplayer side and I doubt this would be different, so I'll wait till it's worth it to me for the single player gaming I'll get out of it.
 
FGC has really picked it up, seems like competitive tiers are sharp as sin in this particular game, but maybe NRS will patch it, clean it up a bit.

IMO: KoF XIII > *
 
was watching some of it on stream at civil war tonight. not really liking it. it just looks like a fake me out MK game, but something about it just seems worse. like the stages are so large that the character looked kind of small when far apart.

but the engine looks VERY VERY similar to mk, as do the animations and stuff. i wasn't a huge fan of mk after my initial hype wore off so i doubt i will give it a chance.
 
Played the game a bit. The whole thing feels very off. Superman punching Catwoman through a building and she brushes it off? Before you say "but Marvel vs Capcom", MvC is more cartoonish and comic style. Injustice is a bit more real looking so the look of the game does affect the feel I get from it. It doesn't help that I am not really a fan of the fighting engine itself, but the whole game seemed weird in many ways. The game got way too much Batman fan service with almost half the stages being from Batman, and there are some characters who's inclusion seems tacked on. Raven for example. I also don't know why include Grundy when there are already tank characters like Doomsday etc. Then the whole story mode is cool but the story itself is really odd and unbelievable.

It does have good visuals and very solid animation. The game isn't bad in reality, it's just not my cup of tea.

I may be wrong, but it seems like there's a lot of batman stuff because they took it all from the Arkham games. I think they even got the same voice actors back for all the characters they included, and all of the models for the Batman characters look nearly identical to what we've seen in the games already. So the more batman stuff they used the less they had to create themselves :whiste:

Is that true? I know Batman is THE DC hero right now. I mean, it's the most popular character in the DC universe outside avid comic book readers I'd guess. Thanks to the blockbuster games, the block buster movies, and all the marketing that went with it. Still I'd love to see more variety in the game as I think it deserves it.
 
It might be because I'm not too good at the combos yet, but the fighting seemed really dull in the demo. Are there really only two attack buttons, or was I missing something?

There are 3 attack buttons. Light, medium, and heavy, then the character trait button.

Well no, I don't know if it's true and that's why I started with "I may be wrong" 😉

It's just an observation I had. Nightwing, Catwoman and Bane look nearly identical to the Batman games. Batman and Joker look like they may have a little bit of variation in the character models, but not much. I mean catwoman doesn't have that cleavage-tastic suit but I think they tried to keep the look similar.

i just picked this up cause it's $35 at TRU this week. they were sold out so had to PM it to best buy, and they had 1 copy left so i got kinda lucky there too.
 
Watching this game being streamed from Next Level and it looks exactly like MK. Same exact type of game with interactive stages and different character skins. I really disliked MK so I am sure I would dislike this game as well.
 
Apparently this has been selling decently so far, but I wonder why it went on sale? I doubt it really means anything.

I just wonder why they announce batgirl for the next DLC character. I mean more damn batman? Out of the hundreds of potential batman characters they pick one that IMO is really lame.

Toys R Us does this sometimes. They did it with MK as well. I don't think it means much.
 
to be honest i only bought this game because i wanted to write a mobile app for it. now that i'm done writing my app and got all the info i needed from the game, i don't know if i'm going to keep it lol. not a fan of this game at all.

What console did you get it for? If you want to sell it I might be interested... just want to play through for the single player stuff.

I've always wanted an app to remind me to sign up for tournaments. =( I totally forgot about UFGT until this morning and they aren't doing at the door registrations this year. I sure hope I can still get in.

they already have that - it's called a calendar 😛

you just have to input the date/time for it to be reminded.

That's why I use Outlook on my desktop. Well, not for reminding me about tournaments, but for other things! 😛 Oh, and it only costing $10 for Office through Microsoft HUP is also rather helpful.

Then I have to look up the information myself, created the dates of when registration opens / ends and all that for every major tournament. I'd much rather something grab all that data for me and just simply remind me. Possible location settings (east coast, west coast, mid west) type stuff that excludes everything else and information on how to register along with cost / exact location.

I really need a Mac so I can make apps already. =(

yeah that would be a really niche app and would require getting data from some place that is up to date. but yea it would be cool.

if anyone cares, my injustice guide is now up on the android store
