Ugh, debating between GTA5 and Mortal Kombat (with or without the season pass). Only have enough for one this month (comfortably) and I'm really struggling to decide. I'm a huge huge MK fan (have the first 3 arcades at my parents' place) but GTA5 would be a new experience for me.

Sigh. Suggestions? Points that I may not have considered?

Out of the two, I'd say MKX has the biggest chance of being discounted first - so go with GTA V.

Any idea on when the Goro DLC will be made available for non-preorders of MK? Thats the only reason I'm still considering the pre-order instead of waiting as you suggested.

I'm not really into superheroes.

You have chosen poorly.

I'm not saying it'll change your mind, but it's worth checking out sometime. At least be prepared for the deluge of threads we're going to get when people discover it on Netflix in about 6 months.

Injustice is pretty cool. Played up to aquaman's part. Didn't realize how story driven it was going to be. Really enjoying it, other than the cutscenes being low res which is annoying.

Yeah, the low-res cutscenes were really distracting initially... well still kinda was, but less so.Too bad I accidentally got my save wiped at around ~1 hour point before the story mode ends. Lesson was, don't be a flip-flopper on skipping the login process of dumb optional accounts.

Not exactly chomping at the bit to watch a super hero show on The CW.

What makes it so compelling?

In general? Great characters with nuance and depth. A pitch perfect tone that can go from easy and light-hearted to insane and dark in moments. A wonderful sci-fi premise that genuinely feels like it could go anywhere. And, most importantly, a pace that is breakneck, giving you plot that would play out over seasons on other shows in single episodes.

It's very easy to call it the best superhero show ever, but even that's under selling it. It's easily the best superhero adaptation ever.

I've had Injustice for ages but never got around to actually playing it. After reading that it is actually somewhat story driven, I'm compelled to. Installing it now.

The Flash is really well written tbh. Morningbus did a great job at explaining why its great. (I'm terrible at stuff like that)

The only weak or subpar thing about the show is the romance, but that can be easily look over.

Btw, if you haven't. You guys need to watch that new Daredevil show on Netflix. Just watched the first episode.

Amazing. Probably the 2nd best superhero pilot, I've ever seen. After the Flash.

And I really enjoyed Smallville and Arrow pilot episodes.

Speaking of which. Flash and Arrow probably wouldn't have happen if it wasn't due to the longevity success of Smallville. It has it up and down. But it did paved ways to the superhero genre on TV.

Can't put it better than that. The show is just amazing, especially after the first few episodes when the story is properly established. The pacing really is one of the strongest qualities of the show, so much happens in the span of just one season and we're not even done yet. The special effects are top-notch considering it's a tv show and the confrontations are really satisfying to watch. Not to mention a certain arch-nemesis that has one of the most menacing portrayals of a villain I've ever seen.

flash has been the more intriguing one, but arrow has a better story in my opinion

I'm still waiting for the Blu ray to get released so that I can tackle that show. I've enjoyed Arrow, so I hope to this one resonates with me.

You can't really go wrong with either Flash or Arrow. Both shows are really good.

I'm more of an Arrow fan though.

Now i wanna play Injustice but it's like 30 gb to download. :(

Ive only seen like 8 episodes of Arrow. People tell me season 1-2 were great. 3 is a bit disappointing.

So I guess almost by default I'm a Flash fan. I hope the new Supergirl and later on Teen Titans TV show will be good as well.

Or you can just download another 29GB with GTA V instead (;

The Flash is currently $25 on iTunes and Amazon Instant, by the way. You'll get all the episodes so far, plus the remaining as they're released.

When they decide to support my country i will buy it :D These regional restrictions for digital content is getting ridiculous. I hope that Steam Videos will go somewhere.

I need to start reading giveaway rules before I enter. Will modbot detect if I don't meet the criteria for a giveaway? I don't want to get in trouble.

amazon should send you the bluray disc at the end of the season for those who purchace a digital service that costs them nothing but the fee they payed to distribute it , the right thing to do

You'll get ban if you enter a giveaway and don't meet the requirement. Its a new rule to discourage people that don't read the rules.
