Someone has to step up and be honest

[Perfect Legend]

First thing I want to say is Injustice: Gods Among Us is a great game and very well made.....however

For me competitively it is extremely boring. It is so slow paced in comparison to Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat is more fun but the balancing is so ridiculous a lot of people don't want to play it. I feel like INJ has a lot of potential but it is so slow on top of that the strategies are all just spam this until it works. There really isn't a mind game behind anything at least not what I am used to. I don't want it to play like a carbon copy of another game but I would like to actually have to use my brain.

Yes I know I am considered one of the top players in the game but I get bored playing this game. Even in MK's practice mode I could sit there just doing stuff but in this game I'm just like ugh. It feels like a chore to play it.

 

[Red Reaper]

I somewhat agree. But there are fun characters... Most of them just happen to not be top tiers.

Arrow is the funnest character for me.

The mind games are mostly based upon stopping jumps and reading back dashes. At least for offense. No footsies, just reads.

I also thought this game was boring too when I first started playing it. The momentum is generally slower. I kan always be kalm in this game if I'm not getting jumped on by Bats.

 

[gdf]

...yeah

 

[LEGEND]

it just depends what character/MU you are playing, MK9 was also like this

also most of the meta behind countering certain moves isn't widely know or fleshed out yet

 

[Chaosphere]

Play Lobo

 

[K7L33THA]

Its no MK9, but its alright. I think a universal walk speed buff would help alot with the pace of the game and footsies.

 

[Rampage254]

A lot of us have been saying that Injustice is boring to watch. Where have you been?

 

[Rude]

People also said MK was boring to watch, too.

 

[YOMI Reno_Racks]

I like MK more too but I think in time this game will have to played intelligently once everyone knows all the matchups and all the tech has been fleshed out. Right now it's in it's infancy so spamming shit works.

 

[yaoding09]

If I felt how you felt I just wouldnt play it. Its honestly that simple. Plus not playing it for awhile may re-interest you.

 

[DangerousBacon]

Not this again....

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

I'd feel same if I played dd

Reo felt this way when he played batman

Honestly the best characters in terms of intellectual design and fun to play were just released
Most are brain dead

 

[LAGalactico]

I enjoy Injustice a lot more than I ever enjoyed MK. I tried playing some MK shorty after Injustice was released and after 5 minutes I ejected the disc and popped IGAU right back in the tray. MK9 is just so ugly and rigid compared to Injustice and I'm never going back. Plus, holding a button to block in a 2d fighter sucks, definitely my major gripe with the game.

I find IGAU to be very entertaining to watch, but I can understand why its not some people's cup of tea. A universal walk speed buff and some better balancing would make this game a lot better.

 

[Yinze]

I get what you mean but I just cant go back to MK. To frustrating. Im kinda just stuck with Injustice and Soul Calibur until MK10

 

[Kevo]

I completely agree. Most characters have a small amount of extremely powerful tools that make all of their other tools obsolete in high level play. It ends up making the game boring and slow paced. There are a few exceptions but they're mostly low tiers so you won't see them as often in tournaments.

 

[Konqrr]

I enjoy Injustice and think it's fun when I play it... but every time I go back to MK9, it's like night and day.

Justin Wong was right when he told me that MK9 is a better game. Just get rid of the input bug and balance that sucker... I'd play it for another 10 years UMK3 style.

 

[Eagle Eye]

well yea the game does get boring when all you play is GL Supes and batman. the problem is that there isnt a variety of characters being played.

 

[Solo_Is_The_Name]

well yea the game does get boring when all you play is GL Supes and batman. the problem is that there isnt a variety of characters being played.

Tell me about it.

 

[Qwark28]

Most are brain dead

Most chars being braindead is a NRS trademark

other companies make games that require max knowledge on your char and your opps char to play at the highest lvl

i like nrs games because you simply pick it up and lets your spacing and mind do the job for you

 

[WannabePlayer]

It's a great game, but it can get boring. MK9 is way more fun, I can play it for hours. I can't say the same about Injustice.

 

[killa_solid]

To me he game overall is just not very rewarding. This is the type of game you put in 2 or 3 hours worth of time and you are good to go. The strategies for characters are extremely simple yet extremely effective. The game's mind-games boil down to throwing out safe 50/50 and mindless zoning/keep away tactics. What also hurts the game a lot is that, there isnt much freedom in regard to playing the character you pick. Every character seems to be pretty much the carbon copy of the other regardless of who is playing them.

 

[Law Hero]

Once I read the title of the thread and the name of the one posting, I was just like, "oh boy, here we go again."

And I was right. Here we go again. Again.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

I will say this

I've had more fun w ZOD than:

Guile in SF 2,4,AE
Kenshi/Mileena/Sonya/CSz/freddy in mk9
Mitsu is SCV

Thank you Based Paulo

[BehindTheLight]

Perfect Legend - Try to get good with ZOD and see how boring it is.

 

[Zoidberg747]

I found MK9 very boring to watch and play depending on the MU. It was guilty of being boring too.

Injustice has some kinks but I think it is fun to play. If you dont like the game my best advice is to keep MK alive as long as possible(Without trashing Injustice and pushing people who enjoy both away).
