NRS really dropped the ball with this game. They gave Superman,Batman *cough and Wonder Woman cough cough* way too much love. We still have characters that only have 2 costumes. And the stages are freakin boring. Did we really need 7 Batman stages? 4 of those stages are the exact same(Arkham and Wayne Manor). What a waste!

Didn't they also drop the ball with MK by giving Sub-Zero and Mileena 4 costumes each? The good news is that means they're done wasting their time making DLC for this game, BRING ON MK10!

This is the definition of a rushed product. They needed to get this out before the Man of Steel movie

So this version comes out 7 months after the original releases AND it costs $10 less AND it features all of the DLC???? This is absurd. This is only a desperate attempt to get new people to play this slowly sinking game. Not to mention a slap in the face for all of the other consumers that spent around $100. The costume DLC was just as bad for this game as it was for MK9. Some characters got left out completely. This has got to be the fastest dying fighting game I've ever played. It's a shame too , because this game had limitless potential.

It will be much better when this version is released.
And this happens all the time with almost every popular game. I understand that many ppl will be pissed but that is the price you pay for buying every DLC. That's why i think DLCs are bad and specially today when they are not really cheap and when we have 10+ DLCs for one game.
What is kinda shocking to me is why XBOX ONE is not getting I: GAU Ultimate Edition love? And same for Wii U... i am really wondering what is the reason behind this.
Many gamers are mad about this decision.
When it comes to PC i think that we are finally getting love we deserve Boon tweeted again today that MK sales were amazing and above all the expectations. So this makes me positive about future games.
And one more thing. Does anyone know why it's 20 days difference between US and EU release?

Come on now people, is anyone REALLY surprised about IGAU: UE? This game followed in MK9's exact footsteps from time of release to DLC; four characters with other goodies. Martian Manhunter and Zatanna being the only "surprise" additions to try and bump up interest in the game. Then comes along a few patches and the inevitable "complete" edition. MK9 did the same thing, minus "extra" DLC.
Injustice hasn't been the rousing success I think most people expected it to be. It's a good game, just not great. After I played the demo, I was exceptionally disappointed in the gameplay mechanics. It felt sluggish and forced.
"But, but...it was based on a beta/early build?!" people claim. I doubt it because why would any developer release a demo of a game if it's not pretty much on par with what will be released? Especially when this demo was released a week or so before the full version.
After I played around with a few characters once I got the retail version, it became quite apparent IGAU was a reskinned and heavily tweaked version of MK9. Heavily dependent on gimmicks like level transitions, interactables, Super Moves, and the useless Clash system hurt this game. I mean, no way to earn combo breakers? All you needed to do was spam wildly (aka Deathstroke, Superman) while throwing stuff at your opponent or causing massive damage by sending them off into some other area.
I'm sorry, but at the end of the day, IGAU doesn't take much skill to play. The latest patch helps a lot, but the amount of fixes in v1.06 should have come two, three months after release, not six months (issues with DLC characters not withstanding).
However, and this is something that can never be taken away from NRS is their extreme attention to detail. I mean, the lighting, the "feel" of each stage, the sound effects/music, the uniqueness of how each character looks, moves, plays, and sounds all conspire to make for an enjoyable romp for the senses.
This "Ultimate Edition" is a little too soon, too fast; a feeble attempt to prop up and keep this dying game going...kind of like Weekend at Bernie's. MK9's "Komplete Edition" at least came out about a year after the initial release.

DirtyWhore, you have no idea what you're talking about. Everything you said was wrong.

Sub-Zero better be in that game too (along with a few others).
MK10 without A Sub-Zero is ÜBER bullshit, IMO, and doesn't feel the same.
Plus, an MK game with only these fools in it (plus some post-MK3 characters), would suck MAJOR ASS!!!

Ok, thanks for correcting me. I appreciate it. In life, other people will have opinions that you do not agree with which doesn't necessarily mean they are "wrong" especially over something subjective as a video game.

Honestly, they could get rid of Kano, Sheeva and Baraka. Replace them with Tanya, Frost, and Fuijin.
-IGAU doesn't require skill: Incorrect. The game takes a lot of skill. If it didn't, guys like you would be placing in the Top 8 in tourneys
-IGAU: wasn't a success: Incorrect. The game made a lot of money.
-IGAU is a reskinned MK9: Incorrect. IGAU and MK9 are similar in some ways but the two systems aren't the same.
