The fact that nobody in the Injustice QL knows what a hyena is is killing me

A hyena, like the animal?

How?

What?!?!?!

pure skill on display

Needs more Vinny. Pack is not the cameraman this feature deserves.

I hope you're joking.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

most of them are too old to have seen Lion King, I guess

 

[broncobuster]

Hyenas are fake animals created for Lion King. Wake up.

 

[Tubobutts]

Is it like how Dan has absolutely no idea what a duck is?

 

[pizzacat]

Who's the slow kid who think hyenas exist

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Murder Island is always great live, but missing it and watching the archive is nowhere near as enjoyable.

 

[Blitzrules240]

The Surge is fun. It's like Edge of Tomorrow/Live, Die, Repeat.

I kill dudes, I die, I try again.

Not even annoyed.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Do i get to play as Tom cruise?

He was too busy doing his own stuns to compensate for being 3'8 and believing in x files episodes

Oh man, I never thought of that comparison... now I've gotta play the Surge.

Wish there was a character creator, though. Rita is the better fighter.

man

that's a bold approach for a video game

 

[derFeef]

I think I got to the point in Neir where the world opens fully up?

Spoiler

I can transport now

and man that game is good. I have yet to do a dull thing in this game and the story keeps pulling me through, which is a rare thing for me.

 

[LurkerPrime]

EmCeeGramr was right.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

EmCeeGramr was right.

They kept calling them dogs and I felt like I was losing my mind, they're clearly hyenas even if you don't know about Joker and Harley having pet hyenas (because hyenas laugh!!)

There is even a Who Let the Dogs Out joke made

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Finally watching BitE Part 2. I'm so damn behind...

Ben did say he hasn't been to a zoo for a while.

My favorite character in the game. For real.

Another great episode. I really need to go back and finish off the side content I missed.

Since nobody asked: I finished Torment: Tides of Numenera and boy, I love this game. The combat isn't great (but there's not much of it) but man, that universe is fucking amazing. I need a sequel and/or some books set in that universe. Easily among my favourite games this year so far.

I'm super curious about this one. The Numenera is fascinating, so I'd love to see what they do with it.

 

[MadLaughter]

Is there a GB guild for injustice 2?

For real though, I should probably play it at some point. Never played through any of the games of that type, maybe this one would be a good one to start with. I really liked what I heard about the game and its world on the Crate & Crowbar podcast.

I'm sure there are some books set in the Numenera setting, though maybe you want something specifically in the game's take on it?

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Missing Jeff and Vinny on Murder Island. Reckon at least one of them needs to be in there and hosting and the rest of the crew can rotate. Still a super feature; I hope they continue!

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Catching the archive of Murder Island and just skipping ahead to all of the moments where they die is definitely the best way to watch.

Ben's a noob.

 

[mrklaw]

Ben did say he hasn't been to a zoo for a while.

I try and visit a zoo at least every 3 months to avoid forgetting what animals look like

Injustice 2 looks gross to me as an on-off fighting game snob.

 

[Hasney]

Reviews of Injustice 2 seem good and my impulsive nature went to go pull the trigger, but it's not out in the UK yet. I'll go back to waiting on a sale.

Why is Warner unable to do simultaneous releases?

why is ben just shooting his guns lol

Needs a boob bounce slider?

 

[Meguro]

I really like Fighting Games but I also don't care about any DC character so Injustice 2 is a hard pass.
Not to mention I generally dislike the way NRS games look and play.

Spoiler

Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 2 in stores soon

 

[Antiwhippy]

As long as the size of boobs doesn't affect your stats.

Which i know is unrealistic to real life but we have to draw the line somewhere

 

[Jintor]

There's something about the feel of Mortal Kombat style games I just don't like at all.

There's just something about Capcom hit-stop i love

Same. The animations just feel off and I can't figure out the MK fighting engine at all. I played MK and Injustice 1 for their story modes (I believe both were on PS+ or the free Steam weekend at some point) but as far as actually playing them as fighting games I don't like them at all.

Smash is a better fighting game there I said it.

 

[derFeef]

I suck at fighting games but I do enjoy them. But yeah, the Dial A Combo style of MK, Injustice and to a degree Tekken does not appeal to me at all.

 

[Jintor]

i mean, i can't say i like the look of how Infinite Marvel v Capcom looks much compared to the glory of MvC3, but at least the actual fighting still looks pretty dope.

Also yo give Green Lantern a decent moveset, jesus christ. The other thing about Injustice is how you get these dope heroes and then their moves are so... I dunno. Grounded? Uninspired looking?

Also, personally, you should never be able to see people's eyes through their masks.

 

[Jintor]

this is really dumb and would never happen but i would love to see the marvel v capcom team work on a marvel v dc game. imagining the MvC versions of DC chars is fucking dope

except they would never do it because then they'd edge out capcom out of the entire point of making a versus fighting game

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Catching up on Murder Island's revenge, y'all guys are crazy. Ben's fun so far, even if there's a TON of "What the hell is he doing" going on

 

[oti]

Smash > Marvel vs Capcom

 

[demidar]

I feel the sound design of the hits in Injustice/Injustice 2 feel too anemic. I like that crunchy pop of landing a hit.

i'm watching some MvC:I gameplay just for comparison purposes and I feel like another difference is the sheer amount of move yelling and spark effects too.

I dunno, i feel like it just fits a comic book fighter a lot better.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I tend to want a sizeable Campaign mode and at least Injustice provides that.
My expectations are pretty low for what Capcom will do.

 

[def sim]

For me, Netherealm's dial a combo system is largely unsatisfying. Most other fighters have links, chains, target combos, magic series, or whatever happen the moment you press the right buttons. You need that to make hits have some impact. Dialing in some buttons and having the combo happen half a second or so later feels like a weird, laggy mess in comparison.

 

[Skyzard]

Ben's stache is growing on me.

The guys are so bad at PUBG though...like just bad. (watching revenge of murder island)

Pretty much. It's like typing hyperspeed on a slowass computer and you watch the text appear in front of you written like from a ghost.

Hopefully his stache will start to do a better job of growing on him.

oh you're not wrong there

the best part of mvc3's 'story' is the cutscene trailers

(that said, injustice's story looks blah)

 

[kai3345]

man i'd never even heard of the surge til this morning. whoever made the edge of tomorrow meets dark souls comparison is spot on. this game looks rad
