No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

It's super weird. Most people just want to jump in to the arcade/story mode because that's the entire game to them and multiplayer is just like an extra thing to do if they have friends over/are bored.

Its still not weird, its just not gonna be the go to choice for the casual crowd. The crowd of people who stay with the game past the first two weeks as everyone else wanders off to the next game, I fully expect to hit training mode first.

That's me.

I really don't ever play multiplayer in fighting games unless it's a party and we're all drunk. The new generation of MK and the Injustice games have been great for that.

However, I got a ton of play out of the living tower modes in MKX, and look forward to the Multiverse game mode for Injustice 2.

I don't really remember enjoying the extra game modes as much in MK9 and Injustice:GAU

How is that weird. That's gonna be almost everyone who cares about playing the game beyond mashing buttons.

oh undeniably, that's how I started KOF and Guilty Gear and poo poo but since the NRS stuff is the only game that usually has a worthwhile story mode I always thought it was fun to go in blind for a while and then do training mode later on. Actually, I might go for the Metaverse mode first this time to get in on the new missions they've got day 1.

Same, the fact that the story is typically amusing enough, it switches your character every few fights, and typically by the end you have seen a bit of every character, lets me use it as a really basic character survey to decide who I want to spend time actually learning.

MK9 had the tag co-op arcade which was fun. My bro and I would play and just as the bad guy was doing a special or jumping in on me I'd tag my bro in and he'd take all the hits. Classic!

I really wish Superboy Prime was in Injustice 2. Constantly whining about how unbalanced the game is and how NetherRealm needs to buff his offense.

I think what DT's getting at is that having Jason Firestorm dress in Deathstorm colors is like having Daredevil cosplay as Bullseye.

No, I'm just thinking that a Deathstorm premium skin for Firestorm is unlikely now that a Deathstorm shader has been revealed.
