I wonder how the Joker comes back in this considering the thing that began all the troubles in the Injustice universe was Superman putting his fist through him.

It's probably going to be a plot point.

Joker definitely stuck his albino dick inside Barbara Gordon's butt, which is why Batman definitely killed him at the end of the story.

Also I'm an idiot.

One of Joker's many hosed up tortures that may or may not even be canon in this game's universe meeting the legal definition of sexual assault doesn't not make it a wild exaggeration to call Joker a "rapist clown".

This conversation is really stupid.

It is. She got fixed after her father died but it's referenced both in-game and in-comic.

Right but we have no idea if it went down exactly like in the Killing Joke. I don't even know if mainline DC's version of events still went down exactly like in Killing Joke since they've had several reboots.

I hate modern Joker too, I just think it's weird to hold a misinterpretation of a part of a 30 year old story that the author himself regrets writing against the character.

I didn't know about those other rapes, but I guess after Dr. Light I shouldn't be surprised.

Injustice managed to have Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl with completely separate movesets, they can do whatever.

Yeah, but NetherRealm, unlike Capcom, can make a good fighting game. Man, poo poo's changed since the 90s...

Well yeah, Capcom used to be good, but that was well over a decade ago.

SF4 inexplicably did well even though that game was just hideous and unfun on every level. But good god do I not enjoy Capcom fighters anymore. Their last good one was on the PS2.

NRS games' preset combos let scrubs do something more than special moves and normals because they know YYX does a combo. That's inherently more accessible, in my view.

Yeah, and even that's incredibly obviously unfinished.

As for the last good fighting game they made? I think that was Capcom vs SNK 2 EO or Third Strike, depending on how you count the releases.

I'm seriously surprised a lot of people are just now realizing modern Capcom sucks. Like how far does Playstation-era nostalgia go?

That's a really silly comment. Dragon's Dogma came out in 2012. Since then they've put out multiple well-recieved Monster Hunter and Phoenix Wright titles and they just released Resident Evil 7 which had a pretty drat positive reception. In fact it had a significantly more positive reception than Dragon's Dogma did.

So yeah, Dragon's Dogma.

I reinstalled Champions Online cuz I like messing with the character creator, and when I went into the game proper I immediately remembered why I don't actually play that game outside of the creator.

I would say it could be a Fox thing but if that was the case you'd think Marvel would immediately point fingers, unless they're playing some kind of "I won't let you know how much I want my IP back" multidimensional chess.

While I can't call anything in the first season "original" or "interesting", they have shown that they're not married to traditional Batman mythos, so I guess they could do something interesting and new with those characters. But after how loving lame Joker was in the first season, I'm not holding my goddamn breath.

If you just ignore the smoke and mirrors, they can actually be pretty fun.

They took out the puzzles from adventure games and replaced them with QTEs. Sure, some of them have really good writing, but they're objectively worse as games.

What they need is to develop their own IPs so they can actually make the choices matter and not be tied to someone else's continuity

They had free rein for the Walking Dead sequels (short of deciding to cure the zombie plague) and those are the worst offenders of lack of choice.
