8's and 9's

I don't really care tho', because fighting game reviews aren't really useful for me. I've read some interesting stuff coming from good players tho', can't wait to get my copy.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Ok so the story is a bit confusing from what I've seen so far.

Will this take place entirely on the alternate earth where Superman became dictator?

I would assume so. Injustice is in the title lol.

Damien dark is the flash

In the first game, yes. This flash sounds nothing like Neal though, so I'm guessing that whoever edited the page was just assuming

8's and 9's

Having played the game for a couple of days, it imo totally deserves a 9. This game should be a model for all other fighting games, what quantity and quality of content is concerned. I still haven't tried everything. I also hadn't this much fun with a new fighting game for years.

 

[Zutrax]

I'm someone who enjoys DC content and dabbles a bit here and there in the comics, but never fully commits to the medium. Would there be a way to just get a quick refresher on the state of this games in-universe lore and what each character has at stake here? I played Injustice 1, but it's been a bit and I know there have been some comic prequels and whatnot.

I'm sure the whole package is amazing, but i feel that Guilty Gear XRD Revelator is still the model all the fighting games should follow

Injustice 2 lacks the lobby system of Rev, which is amazing, and all the great tutorials, from combos to situations... Really important imo.

But yeah, i'm nitpicking, the game looks really packed with content

Can't wait for tomorrow !

Comics year 1-3 are a must then you can read sypnosis of the first game and start.
I read everything comic related last week and year 4,5 and ground zero are meh and dont do much to the story.

Is there any way to get a discount on the digital ultimate edition for PS4? Think I'm gonna bite.

Isn't Amazon still giving $20 off if you are a prime member?

They don't do that discount for digital, unfortunately.

INJUSTICE 2 |OT| BAWZ OUT FOR GRODD

 

[shawnoftheshred]

Expecting an 8.6 Metacritic. Would expect lots of 4/5s and 9/10s.

I haven't been this excited to play a game in...forever. Game looks gorgeous and filled with content...and, as long as the loot is there, my OCD is going to have me playing daily multiverses for months, I'm sure.

 

[Alienous]

INJUSTICE 2 |OT| BAWZ OUT FOR GRODD

INJUSTICE 2 |OT| Nightwing's out for Grood

or is that too subtle?

 

[Magwik]

House of L's is the only subtitle for an OT

Also I wish Best Buy would just break the street date.

 

[Gleethor]

Still a fan of Gotham By Their Wallets as an OT title.

 

[MadLaughter]

House of L's gets my vote

 

[Spinky]

House of L's

This is still pretty good.

 

[Irishmantis]

Comp take your time... no Pressure


Whispers "Pressure... pressure... pressure"

 

[Marvel]

If it's not OT1 then OT2 I hope lol

 

[JStein0222]

Commence the slowest 11 hours ever haha

 

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

For anyone curious about the voice actors on the game

I like it heheh

 

[strafer]

For anyone curious about the voice actors on the game

That's like every voice actor ever

 

[lucebuce12]

No Troy Baker or Nolan North!

 

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Kind of weird Epcar is listed twice. Maybe he's voicing a DLC character?


Also, more Vixen

Epcar voices Raiden in the modern Mortal Kombat games.

 

[Garlador]

For anyone curious about the voice actors on the game

Alan Tudyk is such a great Green Arrow.

 

[RedHill]

I still want "She's a Brainiac" or "Darkseid of the Moon" for the OT

 

[Cyros]

You have to buy them with in game currency, source crystals. Story mode gets you 4k I hear, while they cost 6k each.

Speaking of story mode, best buy has me trapped in the "preparing" chapter and I'm not getting source crystals nor my copy of Injustice wtf.

I called customer service for Best Buy because I stuck on "preparing" as well. The rep actually went ahead and gave me my FedEX tracking number which currently has my shipment status as "Shipping Information sent to FedEX" with an anticipated delivery date of tomorrow. Hope it comes through.

 

[Marvel]

Good ol Phil LaMarr.

I can't un-hear his awesome Kotal Kahn these days.

 

[DrBo42]

For anyone curious about the voice actors on the game

Wat. Had no idea Robert Englund was Scarecrow.

 

[Alienous]

That voice actor list is interesting.

Travis Willigham is doing the voice of a premium skin in the game.
Megalyn Echikunwoke seems to be doing the voice of another premum skin.

(DLC)
Steve Blum - Sub Zero
Kari Wahlgren - Starfire
Cameron Bowen - Red Hood

Richard Epcar - Raiden

Patric Seitz - ???
Matt Yang King - ???
David Loefell - ???
Michael Leon Wooley - Black Manta?

However that only covers 8 of the 9 DLC characters - so maybe one is voiceless?

The voices of the others could give a clue about the characters. Matt Yang King has voiced Deadpool - perhaps he could be doing Beast Boy?

 

[strafer]

So I just realised Megalyn Echikunwoke who plays Vixen was Nicole Palmer on 24.

(DLC Pack ?)
Richard Epcar - Raiden

Patric Seitz - ???
Matt Yang King - ???
David Loefell - ???
Michael Leon Wooley - Black Manta?

But that would be missing a voice...

Willingham voices Jay and most likely Echikunwoke is Vixen.

 

[LuciusAxelrod]

Any news on whether there's any hidden end credit songs like how "Kiss from a Rose" was in Injustice 1?

 

[Alienous]

.

I know, I just didn't know if were were still avoiding spoilers regarding those.

[strafer]

So is Megalyn Echikunwoke the only one from the show voicing the character?

I want Amell, Cassidy, Gustin and all those guys.

How long does it take to unlock Cyborg's "Grid" skin in the IJ2 mobile game? I'm thinking to download it today. Thanks!

You've gotten more progress than me. They said the game isn't out until tomorrow therefore they can't ship what's not released. They acted like they haven't gotten the game in stock yet lol. I said that's bullshit it says right here it will arrive by tomorrow, release date guarantee. "All I can guarantee is you will have a tracking number by tonight". I pre-ordered in April!! What the fuck.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Oh, I thought Daly did Superman.

Newbern is good too. They basically sound the same anyway.

 

[Salty Rice]

I think you just have to link it with the console game without doing anything else.

 

[OSHAN]

Oh no are skins locked behind the mobile game?

 

[Permanently A]

Learn frame data and how to read it, it starts to fall together when you do that. You understand how to punish, what can be punished, what's safe/unsafe, so on.

I would say keep playing. Play with people better than you or similar level, and talk to them about your matches if possible. You were doing this well, you were doing this a lot and this is how I got around it, this doesn't seem great against this character, ect. ect. Talking about your matches can help a lot. Playing consistently is a major help in getting better.

Learn your character moves, learn which ones are actually good, which ones are ok, which ones are bad but might be good if you never use it and suddenly surprise someone with it. At some point it really does click, you just just gotta push through the losses to do it.

As for the frame data suggestion I would recommend that if you are the type of person who can equate the numbers in framedata with the moves themselves. If not its a crapshoot to try and remember what moves are good against what based on numbers.

I don't really understand what you mean by framedata numbers. Where can I read about this in a beginner friendly way? Thanks.

 

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

New watchtower today

https://twitter.com/InjusticeGame/status/864171887521169408

Any guesses on what they will show?

 

[B00TE]

Kinda hoping they show off more guild stuff.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

So what does bane have vs zoners? outside of using up his trait for armor. everyone else seems to have some good way around zoning.

 

[hawk2025]

Asking again in case anyone knows -- what's the extent of single player beyond story mode?

Is STAR labs back, or did they switch to an equivalent of living towers for this one, too?
