This is, like, the highest praise I could possibly receive for this piece. Glad you liked it, as you are exactly the sort of person I hope to aim my fighting game reviews at. It's a surprisingly inscrutable genre for those who don't view themselves as hardcore fighting game fans, so my goal is to try to demystify the concept for gamers who are repulsed by the worryingly insular population that has claimed these sorts of titles as their own.BrotherRool said:
Really? Because I remember seeing Dethstrokes ad nauseam at the recent pro tournament, a couple of Aquamans & Supermans and one of the other characters here and there. After watching around 3 hours of it I never saw 12 playable characters, which account for half of it's rooster.
I agree with you on that point. All I can say for now is that you should keep an eye on our future fighting game reviews.SupahGamuh said:Great review overall, but my only gripe is, this game, more than most, seriously needed a video review and I'm highly dissapointed at the lack of one.
But otherwise, I'll nag my cousin or one of my friends to buy or at least rent the game, so I can finally play it
It's a fighting game, multiplayer is generally their core. Like Battlefield, or TF2.Thunderous Cacophony said:
Well it has similarities to the new MK game, but why is no fatalities a minus? Because it's made by the MK guys, all their games have to have it? I have found it to be a fairly solid game with a lot of content, wagers and the interactive environments add a unique and different kind of strategy element to fights. Give it a rent, the demo showcased a few things but with nothing telling you how how do the transitions, wagers etc so it may not have seemed all that great to your friend. I don't know, but if you like fighting games, I'd at least give it a shotRJ 17 said:For the record: the answer to the opening question is Batman. He keeps a kryptonite ring on his bat-belt at all times.
OT: A friend of mine played the demo and said that he wasn't too impressed with it while I've only been mildly interested since it was announced. He said it reminded him too much of the "new" Mortal Kombat game only with DC characters and no fatalities.
Yet it has a lot of single player content too, so I feel everybody wins in that instance, plenty of battle types and S.T.A.R Labs challenges as well that mix it up quite well.elvor0 said:
Hmm... Then I have just one remaining question (well, two, actually, but they are closely related):Earnest Cavalli said:
Yeah, it absolutely has both of those options and dozens of variations and modifiers for each, allowing you to set up basically any kind of match you could imagine.The_Darkness said:
Oh quite quite, the amount of single player content is excellent, which you're right, is a win win for everyone, I was just saying for fighters, mulitplayer is generally the focuschozo_hybrid said:Yet it has a lot of single player content too, so I feel everybody wins in that instance, plenty of battle types and S.T.A.R Labs challenges as well that mix it up quite well.elvor0 said:
The health/round system is different, but I kinda like it. After all, if Lex and Supes are duking it out, I doubt it'd be in rounds. When someones first health bar is depleted, the character that did the damage knock the enemy down and taunt to show end of the fist round at least resetting the match stance in a way.
In VS you can always rematch to best of three like my friends and I have been doing
I picked it up today and did the entire story in one sitting, so it was certainly engrossing, some of the plot elements felt a bit hamfisted or stretched down the slippy slope, but for what it was it was good fun (I think the Injustice for All episodes of Justice League was a better version of the same story).
