Expressing Disappointment

Hi there. I bought Injustice when it first came out, I am a DC Universe fan. But that was the only reason, I am not into Mortal Kombat. Recently I got back into it and boy....wow.

I am frustrated, disappointed....the game's bad. Reasons:

- Terrible netcode. Sometimes I have to wait so long to find a match in Player Match 1v1 or Ranked, that I open YouTube or check Facebook or whatever. When I do find a match, it's either laggy, I lose connection, or the person ragequits. Out of every 10 games, I end up playing 4 of them.

- STAR Labs. Whoever thought they were fun to do, I wanna high five them....with a chair in their face. Tedious, frustrating, uninteresting, out of place. I could go on. And what do you get? A skin for Luthor. Seriously? Not like we could unlock Zod or Martian, nooooo those are DLC which we have to pay for. Not like you could have put the Blackest Night or Red Son or one of the dozens of skin packs as reward, nooooo we got to pay for them. And if you get all 3 you get a skin for Flash. Yay.

- Injustice app. Somewhere here goes the Injustice App, which is available only to those who have iOS. I don't have any Apple device, so I have to miss on the Batman Beyond outfit. Because you know, I paid for the game but If I don't have an iPad or iPhone or whatever I miss on content. That's totally fair, more companies should do that. I applaud NRS for that choice and you know what's funny, even if I don't have an iOS device, I still get the little "download the Injustice app now!" advertisement on the top of the screen....how nice.

- Offline mode. Nope, just nope. You go to hard difficulty and that's it. Psychic mode is on, the AI reads your movements and finds a way to counter them, essentially making the game unplayable. Also, what is with the guaranteed clash in the second health bar? You get two hits in, the AI will clash. Every.Single.Time.

- Balance. Just terrible. Superman is way too overpowered, Grundy is way too overpowered.....Green Lantern is the best zoning character, Aquaman will do down 2, down 2, down 2.. Meanwhile, I have to stragle to play with The Flash, Joker, Luthor etc. Great job on that one. I see the same 4-5 characters all the time, I use Ares, Flash, Joker, Luthor and I get destroyed many times because Superman will cancel in a frozen breath from the two random hits he got in, leading to a 35+ damage combo and then full screen lasers. Isn't that fun???

- Gameplay. Awful. Let's say I forget everything I said so far, and if I have one gripe....why the hell does a ->fighting game<- encourage keepaway and zoning? You get close to Superman, he will do forward 2/3 foward 2/3 frozen breath wall bounce laser. You get close to GL, he does the grab. Grab grab grab grab. Raven, full screen grab. Deathstroke.....do I even have to say? Aquaman, Trident Toss/From the Deep/Trident Scoop all day long. Black Adam, Divekick/Full screen lightning. Sinestro, Meteor/ laser bullets or whatever. Doomsday, just jumps in space and comes down on your head with a vengeance. Then, he meter burns it to make it more exciting. Ahhhh, interactibles.....all day long man. "I'll just throw this robot at you. And this laser gun. And this little car. And this dumpster. And I will do full screen lazers or guns. Yay, I know how to play a fighting game."

You guys....now I remember why I left the game for 3 months, even after several patches the game is just not fun anymore unless you are abusing the same thing over, and over, and over again. Also, good going putting Scorpion as DLC and not including Martian in the Season Pass. I don't care cause I of course didn't buy the Season Pass but there are people out there who do care.

(It's not my thing to hate on games, understand that my patience reached to a point where I have to vent it out somewhere. If you love the game and you think it's the best game ever made, that's fine. I am not here to change opinions, just to vent my frustration. Also, if for whatever reason you didn't understand a sentence I apologise as English is not my primary language.)

I just stopped here -- all I have to say is, learn more about fighting games and a lot of stuff will make more sense. Until then, play Smash Bros Brawl.

I don't have a Nintendo console, I just have a PS3 and I've been playing Tekken for years, which is an actuall fighting game and not "ooh, I will just spam this projctile from across the screen and throw TV's at you". I know Shmash Bros is, similar to how PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale plays, which I also didn't like.

The fighting game that started the trend of "Actual Fighting Games", Street Fighter II, had characters that throw things across the screen at you. And one of the original bosses, who became a playable character later on (Sagat) was infamous for doing mainly that. So I'd have to say, that argument doesn't make any sense.

Different strokes for different folks -- but there isn't 1 way to make a fighting game.

Born in 1993, I missed most of that. However, when I play a fighting game, I expect to see some fighting....not full screen projectiles. You mean to tell me that NRS thought "We should go back in the fighting roots with this one, they are superhumans, it's only natural we do so" and did? Also, the fact that you stopped there does not say too much, that was one of the many points I brought up. If you enjoy doing that full screen gameplay that's fine, or maybe it's time for me to turn in the game if I am not having fun.

Edit: Eddy Wang, I appreciate your input. 99% of the people on here will think that I am dumb, that I have no life, that I suck or things like that. I don't mind, I simply stated my opinion in a game, that's about it.

This is where you went wrong -- unless you were the one that funded the budget NRS to conform to your version of a fighting game. If it's not your style, just play something else, and understand that other people enjoy diversity of gameplay.

There are plenty of styles of fighting game that aren't my personal preference -- but that doesn't make them any less valid as games, or any less enjoyable for the people that are into them.

Sorry for the tag crimson ^^

Edit: And i don't think you're dumb, the game just wasn't made for you, join the club and become a spectator as many others who also couldn't find themselves to play the game.

Aaaaand here come the pictures. Great. Only one guy giving constructive replies....

Maybe I like fighting games and DC. Maybe right now, there is not a fighting game out there hat combines the two.....Also, I find it interesting how people pick 2-3 words of the 4 paragraphs that I wrote explaining various other stuff besides the projectiles. Yes, I might have focused on them a little too much, but what about all the other things I mentioned?

Some people (myself included) find fighting games with projectiles to be more fun, since that allows for defensive playstyles instead of just multiple flavours of offence.

Fighting games, at least IMO, are games of space control. You have to realize which parts of the screen your attacks can control and which parts your opponent can control - that's what 2D fighters are all about. When you throw a projectile, you control a large chunk of horizontal space at the expense of vertical space control (ducking the projectile or jumping over it).

What did you expect? You're whining and complaining about a game in which people come to this forum for. There's only one constructive reply needed: If you don't like the game, don't play it. It's as simple as that.

Whining? So, this forum is for "Injustice is the greatest fighting game ever made, we should praise it and we should all have a Injustice: Gods Among us tattoo on our forehead yes". Whatever. I thought forums were for all people, I say something which might be contradictory and I get frowned upon. Okay then, maybe I should turn in the game.

Injustice can be frustrating if you let it get to you but if you actually want to learn and improve, there are plenty of ways to get around cheap stuff in this game. If you fail to find any, you can look for videos/tech here and practise mode if your friend also. Having the right mentality is as important as knowing you BnBs and it's pretty much the only way you can truly improve and taste that delicious feeling of smashing gun/laser spammers.

Not everyone in the forum likes the game, but also "Not everyone cries about it."

I do that. I search videos for combos, how to get around spammers and how to avoid super armor and all that. However it's so, so extremely frustrating when someone does the same move for the whole match.....

I am someone who prefers MK, Tag2, and KOF to IGAU. There are legitimate issues with the game. You made complaints about zoning, and cited some examples that you should really use this games training mode to see how you can counter. Not really sure what a character like Green Lantern would do in a fighting game w/ no projectiles.
You did not like star labs thats fine, what did you think of the Story mode then? Also the Injustice comics are insanely good
