Is anyone playing this game?
It came out some days ago for PS4&XBone.
It's kinda neat. Has some nice additions to the previous one (despite removing a lot of fighters I liked).
And I even created a Guild for anyone here who cares (Grogheads). :)
I played IJ1 on PS3, and beat the main campaign at least twice, along with messing with some of the side-campaigns (so to speak). I never got the expansions, even when the whole thing was released on PC eventually. I may rectify that on a sale someday.
No doubt I'll wait for IJ2 (and its kit) to be released on PC later this year. O0

I personally prefer to play this on the PS4 so I can play couch-multiplayer :)
(Actually had several hours of playing it yesterday with a friend)
I just can't get into fighting games anymore. This looks good with story and cutscenes, but once the gameplay starts, it's still just a fighter in fancy clothes.

+1 Wish I could get into it, know I would not.
There are some pretty good "movie" edits of the first game floating around (and maybe of the second already). It works surprisingly well as a 2-1/2 hour epic.
It helps that a lot of DCAU voice actors return, and/or supplemental actors like Troy Baker who plays the Joker, practicing his Mark Hamill impression here for the first time, before refining it brilliantly for Arkham: Origins (and, to be fair, Blackgate and the related animated Suicide Squad movie tie-in which was much better than the live action film.)
The Joker in Injustice 2 sounds nothing like the Mark Hamill one.
Huh. Wonder if they changed actors from Baker then... ???
Richard Epcar does the Joker:

He apparently also did him in the first game.
Also, Phil Lamarr does Aquaman, which is funny because I thought it was just my imagination that Aquaman sounded black :P
Phil also does (or did, but I'm presuming still does for the new finale Season 5) the voice of Samurai Jack.
Re Troy not playing Joker in Injustice1... huh. I wonder why I thought he did? -- but if it wasn't him, that would explain why the Hamill impression is a lot rougher and not very good; I thought he was just working out how best to play Hamill-as-Joker. I am both disappointed and relieved! :D
Btw, be sure to pay attention to the subtitles in that ep -- they add a couple of hilarious parenthetical comments! :2funny:
Red Hood was released as a DLC recently.
A shame no one here but I enjoys this game :(
And Sub-Zero was released today.
I bought Injustice 1 on super-sale sometime last year, even got a controller for my PC to try it out. I admit I like fighting-type games but do NOT like button-mashing or combo-seeking. Ultimately I just got frustrated with it and gave up/uninstalled.
