wow finally tried out unranked (rather then just sticking to ladder) and its been super fun. its extra tasty beating up zoners with Wonder Woman.

But I think the X button on my ps4 controller is finally busted. Will have to buy a new one. it stopped working in the middle of the match and but I still won

(weird now its working again but think its on its way out)

Brought my Vita to work today just for that reason. Can't really have it out all day, but will turn it on during breaks.

I dont have a vita but I can do this with a PC good idea
 
Now that the game has been out for almost a week, can we openly talk about the story?

It's only been out since Friday for us in the UK, and I'm sure plenty of people, myself included, haven't found the time to play through the story yet, so considering this OT is for the game as a whole, and not just the story, could you maybe keep things in spoiler tags (it only takes a second to add them!), or if you must discuss in unmarked spoilers, there's a thread dedicated to the story spoilers.

Thanks!
 
Story should be spoilered. There's a separate Story discussion thread with open spoilers if you really need to discuss it.

EDIT: Exactly what Jimnymebob said, lol.

No problem thx- that's why i wanted to ask 1st.
 
Really wish Bane had something to counter the zoning, I know the dash roll, but it's pretty unreliable I've found.

Guess I'll have to play someone a little more mobile if I want a good shot online. Farewell sweet prince.

Ending spoilers -

When Bruce and Clark start talking about the very first pages of the very first issue of the prequel comics :,(
 
He should get glowing green hand.

doesn't he have super armor when "venomed" up?
From the character tutorial anyway, it says that level 3 Venom makes him pretty much immune to projectiles when he does his forward charge.

As great as this game is ... saying it has a shit ton of content is kind of wrong IMO.

Sure it has a great story mode, the ever changing multiverse which is in the end , just an arcade mode with special effects and the loot system.

But I don't think it has that much content otherwise.

There's no "secrets" to unlock. No behind the scene stuff, no artworks, no character bios, no trivia...

Remember MK Deadly Alliance and its insane Krypt.
 
The content is something that'll keep the players coming back.

With stuff like artwork/trivia/etc, only the people who care about that stuff and want to see it will bother with it.

But with this, you're guaranteed to get something new that actually affects your character's look AND gameplay. It's a damn good way to get casual players to keep playing even after that honeymoon period wears off.

Sure but I wanted both ... And it would have been easy to implement with their box system. You could get random artworks in the boxes.

I was hoping for a legit character model viewer like the first game. But you can only do this when customizing the characters right? Also, is there a way to manually explore the backgrounds like the first game? I don't believe I saw it in Extras or maybe I missed it?

Would artwork really keep you coming back to the game, though? Artwork is cool and all, but it's something that I would unlock, look at once, and never look at again.

Just seems like more fluff than content.

It's cool but most of it you can just find online.

And let's be real... no unlockable has ever topped "Cooking with Scorpion".

I'm tempted to buy this game but would prefer Tekken 7, so I'll probably just wait. Seems like Injustice 2 has improved a lot from the 1st game, I like how you can equip gear for characters, that's a good move.

Anywhere to view the gear yet? Hundreds of boxes and nothing worth looking at and then an odd picture or two shows up that shows some sweet looking stuff. Don't wanna get stuck in the Superman trap again and have nothing to work towards...

Think I'm about to cancel my Amazon order and buy a copy today local. I was keeping it to (hopefully) get the Darkseid preorder code but they haven't sent me that yet either.

Did you manage to buy it during the preorder period? If they haven't sent it yet, just email CSR and you should get the code that way.

love on your sleeve
I'm really glad this game doesn't allow you buy mother boxes for real money. I'm desperate enough for Supergirl epics at this point that I'd probably open up the wallet.

I now have 2 full sets of Epic Gear for Harley. That's my signal to put her through the AI battle grind to level 20.

Is there anything in particular that she has to shut down zoning?

Also whats the best way for black canary to close down zoners?

First of all, let me just say your avatar is lovely.

To answer your question, she can still get zoned out. But between shield charge, her lasso (which is a great mid-range tool), her parry (which increases the damage she deals for a short while) and one of her trait buffs which gives her a temporary air dash, she certainly has the tools to get through it.

She can also do a shield toss from the air, which can definitely mess up timings for the enemy's projectiles.

First of all, fuck deadshot. That was my first match against an online deadshot lol, it's so annoying.

Second, she can use her df3 command dash to close the distance, her jumps and most importantly, her level 3 canary cry.
 
God I hate Supergirl, I can't read what she will do.

Just sit there and block.

Supergirl players have the same problem as Scorpion players in Mortal Kombat. It's that they can't physically stop themselves from doing teleport punch every 4-5 seconds. If they could, they wouldn't be playing Scorpion/Supergirl.

Poop, my phone isn't compatible with the Injustice 2 mobile game. How do I get the Grid skin now? :(
Install it on any other device?

or you can ask somebody else to install the game and let you play it for 10 minutes. The way to sync it makes it so that you can do it with any device. The console game gives you a code which you input into the mobile game and voila, you get GRID. You don't need to actually keep the mobile game once you've gotten Grid.
