PC Version - General Discussion Thread

So Injustice 2 will be released on Steam and Windowa Store in 3 days. Steam beta has ended today.

Game will be priced:

50$/€ for Standard Edition (Launch fighter only).

80$/€ for Ultimate Edition (Includes Fighters Packs).

Ultimate Edition doesn't include all the fighter tho. There are two more. (5.99 each).

What do you think about this? Are you happy with the prices or you think that they could have been better? Do you think that game will have enough players and longevity on PC without cross-play? Are you buying the game day 1?

Where did you find this info? The Steam Store page doesn't have a buy button yet.

The netcode is pretty suprising. It was really bad back on IGAU on the PC. Now it seems really solid. Not really sure about the ultimate edition though.
 
I plan on getting this for PC. Mainly so that I can beat up my friends, they refuse to buy a console. And with exception to some great fighting games... I can't blame them.

We should really try and get a group/discord or something together for the PC players, because I assume they will be far and few between comparatively to console.

I will say though that they don't seem to be marketing the fact it's coming to PC much if at all. In the Watchtower stream there was a very brief mention that the PC beta was out, and that implied the title was coming to the PC at all. After recanting the incorrect PC beta release date I don't recall them ever outright announcing the upcoming date, more of a "it's here" without much real advertising about it. I happened to be looking to see if they'd updated steam with a listing for the game yet the day it released and was pleasantly surprised to find there was a beta here and ready.

By two more fighters, you aren't referring to Brainiac and Darkseid, are you? You can just unlock Brainaic through story mode but it's interesting to think about what they will do with Darkseid as he was a preorder bonus.

I spent a little time with the beta to see how things were running. I was fairly happy with the performance after playing a bit. I usually buy multiple platforms so I would be surprised if I don't get the PC version at some point given how much I've played the PS4 version.

I'm not sure I want to throw down at full price having already paid 100$ for a copy of the game. I'd prefer to pick it up at 50% off, but it's so close to Christmas sales time I doubt it will be included in the big sale and it may end up taking some time before it gets large discount.

I don't need it since I already have it, but if I didn't I would probably be in day 1. Since that's not the case, it will be a wait and see sort of thing with me. I'm also not sure about the whole DLC characters. I like a lot of the DLC characters, but I'm not playing any of them, so I don't know that I need them again.

I thought that Red Hood is not part of FP, but later i realized that he is part of FP1, it was my mistake.

Yeah, they are not even bothering with PC marketing at all. They only mentioned it once or twice on their twitter. I am really not sure what are they expectations with these prices and no promo at all... i am not sure what to think.

Honestly I'm a bit disappointed in the prices. Toss the game to pc after what 6months(?) and then expect people to pay full price with NRS showing 0 signs they care about the pc side.

MKX was a complete disaster on pc at one point unfortunately. The randomly discontinued support then coming back way later and offering a full price kombat pack we should have gotten when it released was just embarrassing.

I'll probably pick up the game day one because I love NRS games and don't own a console anymore, but I would be surprised if they manage to do this right at all much less give us all the content.

people just bitchin´ around
if they forget about the pc port : total bitchin
if they relase the pc port at the same price : bitchin
if they relase only 2 kombat packs: super bitchin´
if they relase the kombat pack3 with TMMT : hype bitchin

and now there´s a post where people are asking for more stages.....

whaaaaaat, ????

and goes on and on and on ... ♫

I tried to make sense of this, but I gave up.



As to the point of the post... I wont be buying it at full price. I wish they offered a discount for those who bought the game on console. Otherwise, I'll be sitting back and waiting until I see a crazy sale, or g2a or something has a good deal.

In a lot of instances, I will just buy crap a company releases simply to support them, like all DLCs and various tidbits, just so Im showing support and doing my part to see they make money.. But Inj2 has done, as I understand it, exceptionally well financially.. So the only extra stuff I buy purely to show support will be stuff that goes into the scene itself - like the tournament shaders and such.

Always thought MKX was a huge slap in the face to the PC community. Can't pretend to be surprised, though. That said, not sure if I'll wait or not. From a principle perspective, I'm inclined to wait for a price drop. Especially considering I own it on PS4. But I may go ahead in this case since you have access to PC only.

Yeah I already bought the ultimate edition of this game from them once, and had they released the PC edition around that time I would have skipped console entirely and just bought that. Plus they havent, and arent, exactly being too great to the fans either, with 2 dlc being reskins from the last game made even more boring, and now day one dlc with Darkseid on the PC version, Denuvo attached to the PC port, and really poor optimization? Cmon.... I'm in the air on even getting the PC version at all tbh
 
I've been reaching out to as many different outlets as i can. I had to make a twitter just to try and ping Tyler and Boon, as well as using the Steam discussions, and WB's official forums to try and get just any kind of word/confirmation of any details (particularly price point) for the upcoming release. So far my efforts have gone unanswered. Luckily the beta performed great, but I'm pretty skeptical about the way they're handling this at the moment. Especially since WB as a whole has been 50/50 on their PC releases.
