Injustice: Gods Among Us - Part 2

[Nathan]

I know the answer.


Because it's a game. >_>

 

[zenith16]

the question is.............how would Deathstroke be able to stab and shoot Superman??!!!

unless his weapons are Kryptonite-laced, the only thing I can think of is magic...........

like magic is somehow at the center of this whole conflict.............thus putting everyone on "equal footing."

they'll give us an answer on it, Just don't expect to be any time soon. it'll be most likely after most of the character have been revealed like half through to it.

How can Baraka slice up Shao Khan with his blades? How can anyone defeat The Hulk on Marvel vs. Capcom? You're putting way too much thought into it. It's just a fighting game. When you try to make sense out of a game that is supposed to be over the top, you're begging to be disappointed.

 

[X Knight]

^ well, it's not that big of a deal for me........

I mean......I'm just going to use Superman and beat the crap out of everyone!!! lol

 

[Samwise Gamgee]

To enjoy this game, just like Marvel v. Capcom, most people are going to have to just say, "It's just a game so I'm going to put aside being nit-picky because I just want to play and enjoy myself."

While they will give a story explanation, at least in regards to making Superman more vulnerable, I don't think there is ever going to be a full character balancing story explanation that survives any real scrutiny. Even so, if someone wants to just tear it apart they can always find unrealistic things to pick at if you want to:

How can Harley jump twice her height from a standing position or, for that matter, where is she keeping that giant hammer?
How are many of these characters surviving the super moves of their opponents?
Why are there no people in the background streets of Metropolis, yet there are a ton of people in the interior buildings during one of the sub-stage transitions.

 

[zenith16]

Those that want to have story where that's explained will have one given be it through a magic,event a tech device, or a cosmic event. Those that don't care other wise and just want a beat em up game should stop worrying about those ask that question those people want to hear it from Neather realm and what ever writers they have from Dc( their doing that) to answer them. Let's just enjoy the game.

 

[Sparta*]

yeah I dont understand people who need all these explanations, all its going to do is force NRS to cheapen the story with some stupid reason why superman can get stabbed or whatever, then we're gonna have something like "THE RAGE" from mk vs dc, I just wish people would let them tell the story they want to tell without having to ruin it with stupid-ass reasons why superman can get hurt

 

[Nathan]

In versus mode it shouldn't matter and during the story mode, you just never have Batman face Superman, if immersion is so important. Just put someone like Captain Marvel or Martian Manhunter on Batman's team, and when Superman comes along to bash Bat's face in, you just have them get in his way.

 

[X Knight]

well, NRS DID say they were going to provide a story explanation as to why these characters are fighting and why they seem to be on an equal playing field.

so, they are kind of inviting the discussion to take place. but I guess we'll find out when we found out.

regardless of the story, one thing I hope is that ALL characters get some kind of intro/ending.

there seems to be growing trend in fighting games lately, where only a select few characters get the spotlight, story-wise.

 

[zenith16]

Hehe compared to the person(changes his name often to do so)or people that keeps bringing up "death stroke as a rip off of dead pool" (which has been answered is bs enough times on many levels )and those that want fatality's cause NRS is making this title and don't want to understand that doesn't fit for Dc.

As I said those that want an answer for why superman can be taken in a fight is the least of all our worries. It'll be answered in story and most of those people will shut it( or be satisfied) and if you still see a few peeps doing so it'll just mean their baiting you just to have fun while you rage giving them that entertainment of watching you freak out over that.

Yeah, if people would stop over analyzing things, they'd probably enjoy the game more.

Whatever happened to the old days where people didn't care much about realism in video games and just wanted to have fun?

simple they brought people like my old man who said they wanted more realism for them to under stand and play video games in the first place and it effected every thing from then on in. those people that were too old and not in to that kinda of a thing as a recreational past time. Everything with the word realism was pushed from then on since. Cause those people that aren't in to sci-fi or fun games in general etc were brought in by some of us gamers. in some ways it helped, in others it was a Big mistake.

Seeing that we're talking about superman though, that doesn't really apply well with what those people we're talking about now that are obsessing about him being taken on story wise, with his character for this game though. They'll be silenced when the reason/ story's given.

 

[X Knight]

maybe it's just me, but one reason why I find games these days often don't feel as fun as they did in the past, is because.......well..........they're going too complicated!!! lol

take fighting games, for example. now you have combos, pop ups, juggles, tech hits, parries, guard cancels, and the list goes on........most of that stuff just goes right over my head. visit game forums dedicated to those fighting games, and the terms/jargon they often use to discuss strategy is like a foreign language!!!

I just want to pick up and play and have some fun.......

now I'm feeling like and old-timer........lol

oh that's different though , That's all cause alot of people have been overly vocal about not liking button mashers, but that's mostly for 3rd person action adventure style games. more so then fighters. but some people like to claim their playing with skill with combo's. in case of certain fighters they are. So in a way it makes sense. but then again they always have to add something new to the table too. it's a hard balancing act now to keep a lot of people happy these days in that genre and they can only choose certain thing's now.

thats why i love 2D fighting games. Theyre simple and fun for both tournament players and new comers. MK2011 is a great example

 

[Sparta*]

yeah the key to a popular fighting game is making it accessible to everyone, even newbies, but also having enough depth for the hardcore players. The extra depth should be rewarding enough for the hardcore players, but not detrimental enough to the newbies where they cant enjoy the game, I think MK has always been good for this, while games like tekken are not accessible to new players, at least IMO

 

[X Knight]

^ yeah, I always had a hard time getting a handle on Tekken, beyond just playing straightforward and mashing buttons........

Soul Calibur is another one........although the latest one, V, felt a bit easier to pick up. However, I hated how they screwed over all the other characters by not giving them endings, in favor a few.......

Deathstroke vs Batman video, don't say I never did anything for ya

just saw it, I would rather it be Night wing and with them interacting with each other verbally, since they have a well known history with each other. But it was a cool fight to see any way. Thanks

 

[Spider-Vader]

When are they going to show Green Lantern & Joker gameplay? Seems really odd that they'd reveal those two & we haven't seen gameplay yet.

Perhaps they're not done yet & NRS only revealed them because they had to reveal the cover of the game.

 

[Samwise Gamgee]

Nice find. Deathstroke looks brutal....it's a good thing Batman is wearing so much armor b/c he must have taken at least a few dozen bullets in that fight. I hadn't ever seen Batman's slide move before so that was cool too.

I think with them it's a pacing thing. they want to give crumb and still leave us with something for later til the due date. give everything away too early and they won't be talked about til the due date comes. though it's still possible that some character are still be chosen and worked on too.

from what it looked like, the armor didn't do much for bats the sword went through him and the bullets made exist wounds with stream coming out of his back there too. it was interesting though.

 

[Fives]

Awesome news about Deathstorke being in this game. I was hoping he'd be in this. Now if they can just announce Parasite or Metallo as being in this too t:

 

[TX85]

Nice Deathstroke vs Batman video,IF they explain reasons why everyone is on an"even playing field"then that's cool But I honestly don't care about having any reasons,It's a fighting video game in style of MK and not a comic/movie/animation show/etc!!!

This is a NBA Jam/NFL Blitz/WWE All Stars type of game based on DC comic characters,Take the concept&run wild with it or leave it

 

[X Knight]

so, I'm thinking the next reveal will be a female hero.

The last 4 reveals have all been male, 2 heroes ( Green Arrow and Green Lantern ) and 2 villains ( Joker and Deathstroke ).

we only have 3 females so far, 1 hero ( Wonder Woman ) and 2 villains ( Harley and Catwoman ).

so, it's seems we are due for a female reveal, and another hero.
