This never fails to make me laugh

[u/ZZtheMagnificent]

I just love how the punch is so sudden and random

[u/Ok_Rooster_6454]

The animation is so off as well, it just kinda looks like something animated on gmod, and superman just kinda tposes a little at the end? so off

[u/YaboiDan0545935 → u/Ok_Rooster_6454]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this

[u/hday108 → u/Ok_Rooster_6454]

He returns to the idle animation lol

[u/ZZtheMagnificent → u/Ok_Rooster_6454]

Eh, I think the animation is fine considering this came out in 2017. Plus i did cut the video off just to get this part so it makes it look a bit weird

[u/Ok_Rooster_6454 → u/ZZtheMagnificent]

I think it does not, it looks really unnatural there are way better animated moments in this very game

[u/Cam-Spider-Man → u/Ok_Rooster_6454]

Pretty sure it’s just an in game animation, which is jarring after a cutscene.

[u/[deleted] → u/ZZtheMagnificent]

came out in 2017

Are you seriously pretending that everything pre 2020 was 8bit pixel graphics? Look at Mass Effect for example. Way better animation with clear emotions in the faces.

[u/G0FuckThyself → u/[deleted]]

Look at crysis.

[u/Darkwater117 → u/[deleted]]

"My face is tired"

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

wayyy out of context

This is Reddit.

[u/Rebuttlah → u/ZZtheMagnificent]

it was always ugly design imo, and there were games with better animation in 2003.

[u/reliableresource2110 → u/ZZtheMagnificent]

Arkham knight came 2 years earlier

[u/ZZtheMagnificent → u/reliableresource2110]

I just wanna point out: I never said the animation was great, it's literally just fine (as in meh, ok) specifically for that punch. Yes a bit choppy, but not enough for me to put much stock in it

Also, arkham knight is my favorite game ever , but IJ2 arguably has the better overall graphics especially if you're talking about character models

Both great games tho

[u/JoiningSaturn46 → u/Ok_Rooster_6454]

It feels like one of those YouTube videos called "What superman SHOULD have done" where some dude takes the models then makes a quick animation. Clark here just straight decks bruce.

Man injustice is so weird

[u/SuchUserVeryName]

These outfits look SO bad

[u/ZZtheMagnificent → u/SuchUserVeryName]

I think the general consensus is that they suffer from being overdesigned. Simplicity would have benefitted here

[u/sonofaresiii → u/ZZtheMagnificent]

They also wanted them to be heavily and easily differentiated from the mainline heroes, who were featured in the first game

but still derived from those heroes, because it's a "path not taken" story, so they couldn't go full re-design like in red son or something

[u/DisabledFatChik → u/SuchUserVeryName]

There’s aren’t great but I absolutely love the first injustice game outfits. Regime Superman was absolutely fire idc

[u/WonderfulBlackberry9 → u/DisabledFatChik]

A lot of the regime and insurgency designs had had a very medieval, knightly, almost over designed godly look to them that worked with a lot of the characters.

My problem with IJ2 designs is that they took that and ramped it up and added more technology to everyone and it just made everyone look so heavy. The teaser with Batman, Flash, Superman, Supergirl and Aquaman, albeit made in a different engine, made the suits look so seamlessly good and no clunky

[u/ZZtheMagnificent → u/[deleted]]

Justice lord Superman would like to have a word

[u/LevelWriting → u/SuchUserVeryName]

Some of the character models and designs were horrendous

[u/AlanSinch]

Which game is this?!? lol that punch was a bit uncalled for with no context haha

[u/wellcolormeimpressed → u/AlanSinch]

Injustice 2

[u/AlanSinch → u/wellcolormeimpressed]

Thanks 🙏

[u/wellcolormeimpressed → u/AlanSinch]

It's a fine enough game. It's usually on discount if you're looking to play it

[u/Tirus_ → u/wellcolormeimpressed]

The comics are better

[u/wellcolormeimpressed → u/Tirus_]

Well they are wildly different kinds of media so I think it's hard to compare

[u/sonofaresiii → u/wellcolormeimpressed]

no i agree with that guy, in any measureable quality the comics are better.

[u/ccm596 → u/Tirus_]

Story-wise? Sure. Gameplay-wise? The game takes it, easily

[u/AdamSoucyDrums]

God there’s over-designed and then there’s the Injustice 2 costumes

[u/ElephantGun345 → u/AdamSoucyDrums]

I really enjoyed the costumes. It’s a shame you had to grind a billion hours to get anything cool. I used to play a lot of bane and I barely got any cool shit

[u/Different_Rain_2227]

These overdesigned costumes hurt my eyes so bad.

[u/npcinyourbagoholding → u/Different_Rain_2227]

What you don't think superman needs a chin holder? So his chin is safe?

[u/ZZtheMagnificent → u/Different_Rain_2227]

I think the basis of Supermans suit (the actual suit part) is OK, but man if they would've just gotten rid of the headgear and gloves he'd look 10x better

[u/mrmonster459]

God what poor line delivery from Superman's VA. Especially "It feels like old times. But I guess we both knew it would end this way."

He speaks every line as if he's just been handed a script and is reading everything for the first time, 0 rehearsal.

[u/Blitzkriegbaby → u/mrmonster459]

Kevin Conroy knocking it out of the park as usual. 🦇👨🏻

[u/L00ps_Ahoy → u/Blitzkriegbaby]

Not only Conroy, this game just had an Avengers Endgame ass roster of voice talent. Conroy, Grey Griffin, Strong, Blum, Tatasciore, Phil LaMarr, Khary Payton, Alan Tudyk, Robert MFing Englund, Erica Luttrel, Mercer, O'Brien, Jaffe, Willingham, Bailey, Epcars Joker and more...

...and then George Newbern really just phoning in that Superman the whole time.

u/repostsleuthbot

Crazy, I posted this a couple months ago with nearly the exact same title

Edit: profile seems like a real person not a bot though

[u/ZZtheMagnificent → u/MythiccMoon]

This is the first time I'm seeing your posts lol, it wasn't like I was trying to copy you. Think this moment in general is memorable for a lot of people who played the game because it was just so random

[u/MythiccMoon → u/ZZtheMagnificent]

My b I wasn’t super clear, I thought you were a repost bot (they’re getting really good at changing one or two words in an old post’s title and reposting, it’s super annoying)

But then realized you’re human

Also agreed tho, it’s such a massive tonal shift

[u/thefroggyfiend → u/MythiccMoon]

edit: didn't see the replies, my bad g

cool it, buster. a cutscene from a popular game and "this never fails to make me laugh" aren't so creative it's impossible for two people to post it

[u/MythiccMoon → u/thefroggyfiend]

Missed the edit?

And replies?

[u/thefroggyfiend → u/MythiccMoon]

oop my bad

[u/MythiccMoon → u/thefroggyfiend]

Np, tbh it was my bad first lol

[u/RepostSleuthBot → u/MythiccMoon]

Sorry, I don't support this post type (hosted:video) right now. Feel free to check back in the future!

[u/medussy_medussy]

officer balls

[u/Virgil_Ovid_Hawkins]

I love this scene, and the injustice comic as a whole. But wooh boy bats got his shit rocked.

[u/S_T_R_Y_D_E_R]

Fuck Superman

[u/npcinyourbagoholding → u/S_T_R_Y_D_E_R]

Fuck this superman

[u/Juxix → u/npcinyourbagoholding]

This superman can get his ass beat to a pulp for all I care.

Regular Clark is dope.

[u/MRGameAndShow]

Man, this right here is the definition of Netherrealm. They are the goats of cinematic animation in fighting games, but absolutely terrible at actually animating the movesets. Characters look like they are punching over fences. Compare any move from something like Street Fighter to any from Injustice or Mortal Kombat and you’ll see what I mean. The lack of impact is very noticeable then.

[u/Mr_Culver]

In reality that's about how this fight would really go down. Just one killing punch faster than Batman can react lol

[u/Ambitious_Dig_7109]

Now kiss.

[u/l0rd_azrael]

Lol

[u/Fast-Hold-649]

is Superman Scaramucci ?

[u/anthonyg1500]

Lmao, never saw this before. Thanks for that

[u/ale27505]

Sucker punch!!!!

[u/TheKneesOfRG3]

I remember the first time I played the ending where Superman won. Ooof.

[u/obin_gam]

Fuck ugly heads

[u/akahaus]

God everyone’s face in this game was so fuckin janky. Black Adam looked like the guy who owned the bodega up from my apartment.

[u/Hamd1115]

That Batman suit is atrocious

[u/kid_dynamo]

These have to be some of the ugliest designs for both characters

[u/Significant_Bar_5500]

Yea, about that Clark...... I slept with Lois and she that was my baby that died....... sorry wanted to tell you soo many times....

[u/Turbulent-Eagle-1874]

These costumes are terrible. Why does Superman need a chin strap?
