I'm not a super into fighting games. I played only little bits of SF, MvC, etc. etc. that being said I'm sort of looking forward to Injustice: Gods Among Us. I'm not expecting it to be groundbreaking or revolutionary but fun nonetheless. It doesn't seem like it's generating any buzz (aside from a paid Kevin Smith ad on the fatman on batman podcast) anybody else looking forward to it or are you guys just going to pass on it?

As someone who has only a cursory interest in fighting games, this one is completely off my radar.

It looks interesting but I just can't spend money on fighting games anymore. I never feel like I'm getting my moneys worth because I never want to explore the depth of any fighting system and thus I play the single player and then never touch it again. As I said, it does look interesting, especially the environmental interaction, but I won't be getting it. I haven't exactly seen a lot of coverage for it either so I'm not even tempted as with most other fighting games.

I don't think NetherRealms can make a compelling enough fighting game without the spectacle of gore. So no, I'm not excited. This just looks like Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe all over again.

Aquaman was confirmed so it will be a shitty game.

I'd probably get it when it's $20 and some of my homies have it.

Nah, I'm not really into fighting games.

I like batman and shit so yeah

I like fighting games. I really don't care for DC. This game is looking pretty solid though. Might have to check it out.

I'm interested, only because NetherRealm Studios are the only fighting games I enjoy playing.

I enjoyed Mortal Kombat, even though I'm generally pretty bad at fighting games...I might have to check it out. Though I'll admit I have no love for DC beyond Batman.

Loved the last Mortal Kombat. Mechanically, aesthetically, conceptually.

I used to really love DC comics, but I fell out of reading comics and graphic novels a while back.

Basically, I think this game will be a lot of fun, but it's only going to appeal to a specific market sub-set. Comic fans won't universally flock to it, fighting game fans probably won't get too heady about its systems. Only the slim ovular middleground of that Venn Diagram will have their tastes massaged by it. And I think that sort of sucks, because again, I'm sure it'll be a quality title.

I sure am! Can't wait to kick batman in the junk!

I didn't think MKvDCu was that bad, actually. It wasn't perfect, but it was fun to pick up and play with friends.

As a big fan of both Netherrealm and the DCU, this is probably my most anticipated game for the year. Part of me wants to actually try and get really good at this game just to kick some ass with Aquaman.

Really looking forward to it. Missed out real multiplayer Mortal Kombat since it's banned in Australia, pretty fond of the DC characters and all the video of Injustice looks great so yeah, probably day one purchase.

I agree.

I think it looks real dumb, and it in a good way.

I hope that they do as good a job with the story mode as they did in Mortal Kombat. I thought the story mode in that game was truely fun and interesting to play through, even multiple times.

#19 Posted by sopachuco13 (331 posts) - 3 months, 9 days ago

I though MKvs.DC was pretty underwhelming. I didn't like the way he characters moved. I thought the characters in MK were much more responsive.

I have been following Injustice purely out of interest in DC characters. But being that it's a fighting game, it's not something I would ever buy. But if it was on handheld I'd consider it.

#21 Posted by Phatmac (5263 posts) - 3 months, 9 days ago

It's a NetherRealm game so I'll be playing it.

Yeah I'm liking what I've seen of it so far and I love DC. Plus it looks like they made Aquaman seem awesome. HE SUMMONS AN ARMY OF 50 FOOT CRABS. Love it.

I'm sure someone is. I think the fighting looks good. Because it looks like the last Mortal Kombat.

I'm not that big a fan of DC comics but I'm really excited about this game. It looks really solid from all the footage they've released and green arrow looks fucking awesome.

Also this

I hope that they do as good a job with the story mode as they did in Mortal Kombat. I thought the story mode in that game was truely fun and interesting to play through, even multiple times.
