Giant Bomb gets the "Nitty Gritty" on Injustice

Do you have your ps3 set up so it auto updates for you? My roomate does that and his ps3 randomly turns on occasionally to check for updates. And it'll dl them for him while he's not near it and the shut itself back off.

The only thing I can think of is that the update randomly included free compatibility packs for you. Which I doubt but I'm not sure on that. But I know for a fact because I've experienced people not downloadin Freddy's compatibility packs. Thus not allowing me to even pick him. I tell each person who doesn't let me pick skarlet or Freddy to go dl the comp
Pack and when they do, suddenly I can play skarlet post patch.



And I've seen people who tried to pick Freddy after seeing I Had access to him but they didn't. They dl'd the comp pack but not freddy himself.

I never turned auto-update on.
I know for a 100% fact that I never DL'ed the fourth compatibility pack, yet it's was there post-patch.
I didn't DL it because I didn't need to.
It was already there.
 
Well Then your some special case that didnt need it, and you got a comp pack dl'd with you patch and almost no one else did.

Because if your case was the case for everyone, I'd always be able to pick freddy. But that's not the case.
 
FINALLY!!! this comic game comes out and Netherealm Studio AT LAST!!!!!!!!!! start the new Mortal Kombat!!! I hope when his thing gets finished we'll finally start to see any news about MK on this site!
 
Am I the only one that sees that this game just looks like a few steps down from MK9? As far as unrealistic looking animations and overall production quality. I'm not shunning this game until I try it though.

No, you're not. When this game was first revealed, I was excited about and I'm not a hardcore comic book fan! However, the more I see of the game, it seems more focused on glitzy, over-the-top, popcorn-munching sequences and gimmicks. Then I start seeing recycled animations from MK9, which I wasn't surprised, but still, I expected less MK-inspired stuff. I mean, this whole knock-them-all-over-creation into different areas and other environment interactions isn't new. It started in MK3. It seems simply more refined and fleshed out here.

You can pump all the digital Botox and lipstick into a game all you want, but I'm still "very guarded" on this game. I'm not a high level player nor bottom of the barrel, but MK9 for me hit all the points I expected it too and more despite its flaws, particularly DLC/online issues.

I think the Story Mode of Injustice will be the crown jewel as it was in MK9. NRS is known for being able to tell a story, so I'm not worried on that front. Other fronts as in character balancing, game play mechanics, and online playability are my concerns. The former two points may disappoint and the latter can go in any direction.

I'll buy the game, but I can't shake this feeling of doubt that this game might pan out to be more hype than anything.

I sincerely, whole-heartily pray that I am wrong.
