    So WW's trait is literally a random buff on activation. Okay...

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    Super easy way to get a lot of silver mother boxes. Just do the character specific tutorial for any fighter. Completing it gives a silver mother box.

    Yep! They kind of combined them into one moveset.

    Amazingly, it's not totally terrible for me playing this on pad. Been doing ok. Need to start playing vs people soon, spent most of my time in training and Multiverse.

    9/10 from GameInformer! The story is silly but awesome, the fighting is fast and fluid, and the loot is great.

    My ultimate edition should be waiting in the mailbox as soon as I get home! Excitement! I got promotional code just now fro preordering from Amazon, but it doesn't say what it does. Anyone know?

    Edit: Duh... it's probably for Darkseid.

    NRS games has always been way more pad friendly then other fighters. Though I wish I gotten a hit box instead of a fightstick since I've been a PC gamer since I was a kid and using buttons for movement is second nature to me.


    Though I do love my Qanba Dragon. Last stick I'll ever need.

  • Hiryu02Hiryu02 Registered User regular
    One real issue I do have right now, upon reflection. I'm very disappointed that Bane's normal moveset is identical to his old one from the original game. Not a single new normal attack.

    Got this last night on PS4!
    Pumped to play.

    There are so many heroes I want to play as. I think I'll work on Firestorm for a bit, since he's my favorite!

    I only played the single player: Tutorial, the Multiverse tutorial, and like 2 chapters of the story.

    Need to go into training to see what kind of basic combos I can master. I preordered so go Darkseid!

    I also have to try out my X360 to PS4 controller converter for my Fight Stick. Last night I just wanted to play and not mess around with fiddly bits.

    Feel free to add me on PSN: Rezin808

    I've never gotten really into Netherealms fighters but that shouldn't suggest I don't respect them. They just always feel so...stiff.

    Mind you the fighters I've played the most are Soul Calibur and Guilty Gear so I don't know how to compare the feel between them. Also, I like chains because I'm a filthy casual.

    I mean, I'm terribly bad at the fighting genre. Absolutely awful. I only play Injustice because I love DC so much. So it is totally the IP and license that is the appeal for me, not the gameplay.

    And that is why I always get annoyed when they announce MK crossover characters like Scorpion or Sub Zero, because I am specifically playing this game for the DC universe. If I wanted to play a MK game I would go play that. But I'm not here for the fighting mechanics, I'm here for the DC.

    In a way, though, you are the target for the cross over. They want you to get interested in other things in life aside from DC :).

    I do wish Injustice had fatalities. I'm sure they want to keep that an MK thing, but they could have some wild fatalities in the game.
    I guess those super moves are the closest we'll get.

    I actually don't mind them not being in.

    Fatalities are nice to look at maybe once but they get boring and drag the match out after a while.

    Also, while gore has always been MK's thing and I'm fine with it in that context I've never been a big fan of it overall.

    DC wouldn't allow fatalities I don't think. Also, it wouldn't make sense for a lot of the heroes to be killing people.

    I feel like that was stated when I J1 first came out. But I could be imagining that.

    The dragging out of matches gets mentioned in tournament streams and I don't mind them getting done. It annoys me when someone does one and they cut away. I get it logistically adds up but I'd be curious how many other delays have a bigger impact. From experience in other games events rarely start on time and have absurd delays for the most insane reasons. I doubt a few minutes (probably total) would matter compared to the other stuff

    If no one has a PA guild set up on the XBone by the time I get home from work tonight I can start one (leveled up to profile level 10 this morning and am loving Catwoman and Harley thus far).

    I'll let the thread decide on a guild name if it comes to that.

    Yo, don't hang onto mother boxes. They're locked to whatever level you are when you receive it.

    Also, god bless you NRS for giving each character a specific tutorial!

    Edit: Ok, Mother Boxes appear to be locked to a specific range for when you received it. I got a couple lvl 2 and 3 rare items from my boxes. One of em was a cape for Superman called "Destructive Lois' Favorite Cape"

    Also, the God and Demon shaders are very slick looking!

    Seriously. The controls are a bit of a pain in the ass on the One d-pad but the presentation is fantastic.

    The faces and voices on this are the comic equivalent of Superman: Birthright and makes whatever Frostbite's engine on Mass Effect Andromeda is something like JMS' Superman run.

    I know right?! Im only on Chapter 1 still but
    Diana's face as she burst out of Arkham was incredible. She knows she's going to have to fight her friend, and without even saying anything at first, her face was amazingly detailed with emotion. You could see the pain and frustration.. SO AWESOME OMG!
    So far, this is seriously better than anything DC's put out in theaters since the Nolan Batman films... NRS to be made in charge of DCCU pls!

    So far I've been getting credits and one bronze box, so yes kind of. You should play story mode anyhow, though! It's really good!

    I think I may be going crazy.

    But I'm legitimately having more fun with Injustice 2 then I ever did with Street Fighter 5.

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    Hey so... the 8 opponent ladder in the Advanced Battle Simulator is the Arcade Ladder, and you get individual character endings for beating it. Maybe finish the story first, because I think I just spoiled myself on a major plot point with Supergirl's ending...
    I think I may be going crazy.

    But I'm legitimately having more fun with Injustice 2 then I ever did with Street Fighter 5.

    It helps that Injustice 2 is a full game packed to the brim with content at launch, instead of an early access scam like SFV was.

    Also, disappointingly there's no special dialogue between Power Girl and Harley. She benefits from Supergirl's gear, but it doesn't make any cosmetic change to her costume. I assume John Stewart and Reverse Flash work the same.

    Harley makes some cracks about wearing her costume, there's definitely some PeeGee inspired banter on her part. No visuals for gear on premier characters; as I said before - so sad no dressup.

    You also get some loot from singleplayer story, shaders, etc and level 20 'weapons' as well as some motherboxes.

    Edit: fighting brainiac is 10 kinds of bullshit.
