Anyone not buying Injustice after the Demo?

[RYX]

I guess I'm the only person who enjoys figuring things out on my own anymore.

I don't like that people expect it to be spoon fed to them, but I do agree on the point of clash and transitions(objects are shown with R1 in the corner though)

Also, they could very easily just rent the game and experience it there, and if they like it they'll buy. Everyone's happy.

No it's not. In MK you can dash cancel, here you have to stay in place and use advancing strings to continue your juggle.


You understand it's a demo and it doesn't di shit, but next door scumbag Steve sees he sucks at the demo for 5 mins, gets salty and says demo is shit, game will be shit, money spent on booz is better.

That doesn't have to do anything with mashing and what I said.

I am talking about dialed combo strings, which is exactly like MK9.

You can't just mash in MK9 either you had to know your strings.

 

[Prinz]

I agree with EGGXI this game looks to be pretty hardcore, and the demo could be pretty unforgivable to casuals.

 

[MashPotatoTower]

Just pretend dash isn't in the game for 1 round and you will think its the best game ever lol
Don't think I don't know how you scrubs are playing lol

You could with Scorpion (111), Sub-Zero (222) and such. I organized a little event for my locals who played MK for the first time. I loled so much.

RYX oh I agree with you, I don't expect it to teach you jack, and it makes learning easy with the features you mentioned, I'm sure Star labs will take care of a lot.

I'm just saying that a lot of casuals put the game in and play versus with their friend next to them and diving straight in is the difficult part, that's when it feels slow and heavy. MK you could sort of get away with button mashing and playing by feel, I just think here it is less so. Also as a demo it could really do with at least telling you how to activate clash/stage transistion/objects, sure there are hints but casuals who want to see what the game is like to decide whether or not they'll buy won't be getting the full experience

But on a more pro/learned level this game is intense as hell and I'm loving trying to beat Very Hard Doomsday with every character.

Think about it this way, LMH. You can figure out what strings you have by just using a bit of common sense. Also just go into the menu and tag up to 6 strings if it bothers you so much.

Generally, your strings are going to be LMH, LLM, MMH, LM, LL, MH..

They go in priority order generally speaking.

See above.

What I didn't like about the Demo was lack of a practise mode or the ability to play around with buttons or a mini tutorial.

Yeah I know it's just a demo but practise mode and tutorials are always the first thing I go to in fighters so I can see what the style is like. Admittedly I only got the chance to play around for 10 minutes on it yesterday so i'll give it another go. I mean okay, the game has L,M and H....but I have no idea what the other attacks actually are or do. Again, I didnt really experiment with it much yesterday though.

NEWSFLASH BLIND FANBOYS! Some people may not like this game. Deal with it.

Also, "it's just my opinion" is a terrible excuse. If you post your opinion then you're going to take shit for it. /fact

Dont be an asshole with the new guy. So people have to "take shit for it"? sorry bro but that was stupid.

The point is no matter what he says there will be people who disagree with him.

He says it's a legitimate discussion, then when people discuss it, he goes "hey it's just my opinion don't get upset"

 

[A F0xy Grampa]

It's directed at anyone who plays the demo and says "game is shit" or "I thought this game would have good mechanics but it doesnt."

I don't care what game it is... you can't criticize the whole game due to the demo... at all. Unless you're criticizing the artwork or something.

You can criticize what you see in the demo though:

- Slow walk speeds
- Uncancelable dashes
- 3 of the most boring characters in the game

 

[Prinz]

I'll buy the game since I 've decided on this half a year ago. Only thing the demo did was show me approximately how it'll be played. And I can say it's gonna be hardcore.

The problem is people said he "talk shit" when that was not true and proceed to bashing him. Everybody can defend their opinions, is it neccesary to act like jerks while doing it?

I never said he was talking shit, lol. It's an interesting topic of discussion, and because I disagree with it, I'm going to state why.

Go blow up those people who are being dicks then.

 

[Neclord]

After playing the demo for a few hours, I think I am not gonna pre order this game. I will wait for some reviews first and player opinions, because the demo was pretty bad and I'm not even a MK only player (but I enjoyed MK9). My most played FG online is SSF4 AE. And compared to AE, the Injustice demo looked kinda meh.

But on the other hand, it is a demo of course, so I'm still looking forward to the final version, I still have hope. Especially because none of the demo characters really interested me. I want to try Harley, Catwoman, Hawkgirl and KF.

 

[Patrick McMillan]

The demo for Injustice made MK9 look like trash to me. The mechanics are better and it provides an accessible medium between casual and hardcore with its own unique flavor to add to the mix.

Lol at Injustice not being well thought out and saying MK9 was. just... lawl

Also, play for 5 minutes and say they hate it... you mean like Capcom/Marvel fanboys?

Exactly Capcom/Marvel fanboys would say this cause they dickride on one game only and hates every other game.
I think the injustice demo is freakin sweet!! only thing i didnt like about it is i could change my controller preset but ill do that when the game comes out!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rokinlobster]

the Demo really turned me off to this game and I have decided not to buy it. Its just not what I thought it would be. For me, its not 'fun'.. the game and the mechanics almost feel rushed or not well thought out by NRS. They may have even focused a little too much on making this game for hardcore fighting game players... it just doesn't have that 'pick up and play' fun factor to it.

I have a feeling if NRS didn't make this game, a lot of MK players would play it for 5 minutes and say they hate it. (like DOA, TTT, capcom games, etc.)

If I don't like the demo I will not buy the game. I don't support it because all this "bring the communities together" and "NRS made it" bullshit. If the demo sucks when I play it today ill just continue to search for Cyrax tech.

Those aren't criticisms.... they're differences from mk9. and while I agree those characters are boring to me, they aren't too others.

and it's a demo. of an old build. those who played the mk9 demo have said it was shit too and now look at us, all lovey dovey over it.

I'm not judging the game based on an very incomplete glance that is the demo.

I suggest watching the KH guys streaming the demo. watched it last night and made it look pretty awesome Cat

The Injustice demo didn't leave the same impression as the MK9 demo did, that's for sure. But it's impossible for me to tell if that has anything to do with the mechanics or if it's just because of the 8-ball of nostalgia that demo was.

 

[Prinz]

He needs it.

 

[c_brandon]

I see posts on here that has covered what is 'wrong' with the Demo (lack of practice mode, etc.) well those are expected to be missing from Demo's... the MK9 demo was 97% of what MK9 ended up being. The things that changed were stuff like damage, certain combo properties, but the overall game was what it was. The 'gameplay' in Injustice in the demo IS WHAT ITS GOING TO BE LIKE IN 2 weeks.. if it was vastly different they would not have released it like this in this Demo.

specifically the stuff I'm talking about (stuff that feels thrown in for the hell of it, or something that was from another game that they 'threw in'):

-push block system
-meter burn/ex system
-meter bounce system
-meter building
-2 bar life system

these things in the demo didn't feel cohesive to me. its like NRS is trying to do too much at once and ended up with things that don't make sense or fit together.. its almost like a 'best of Fighting games features" ...and ended up making the game not fun for me.

and the wager system is just stupid

 

[SRP]

Nope, Ifmy Store doesn't have a midnight release, then I will be outside the doors when they open to get my battle edition, and not leave the house for 6 days. I enjoyed just a chance to play the demo, but I want the full game.

 

[BlaqandMild15]

Damn.this game isn't even in its baby stages yet.The demo is just a tease and that's it.Stop trying to use it to get that ''competitive edge'' for release date.That's maybe why people are talking shit about it.We aren't used to it and as far as doing strings,it felt similar to MK for me.Plus if it is an earlier build which I believe so,it's really pointless to put everything in stone.And for future references,whatever the next big NRS game is,please don't hype it up months before it comes out by constantly posting shit about it when you can't even stick with it past the demo.That's exactly what I feared most people would do which is exactly why I didn't pay attention to anything relating to Injustice for the past couple of months.You wanted a demo.You got a demo.So just adapt and learn as it continue to evolve.Just like we did in MK.

 

[Badboy Takuma]

after playing the demo, i didnt enjoy it, however i will buy the game but not for the full prize.
and the other thing is DC heroes have never interested me, im just touching this game because of NRS but i feel dumb doing so though, i mean if NRS would make an FG with Mickey Mouse...
i am an MK fan and player but i dont think that i should play everything from NRS, exactly because of that reason i find the huge hype about this game @ TYM a little bit too exaggerate..

 

[Prinz]

...DC heroes have never interested me, im just touching this game because of NRS...

Me too But I'm doing it to support MK10.
