  1. With all the new fighting game mods coming out with #Mk11 Access, #Injustice2 Access, you'd think someone would make a #Tekken8 access. IF nobody does, I'll probably get around to it myself if its even possible.

    Injustice 2 is a 3Dish beat-em-up fighting game, and a sequel to Injustice: Gods Among Us.

    Fighting games aren't really my go-to, because it comes back to that same issue of fine motion control and hand-eye coordination. I'd made two serious attempts to play Injustice: Gods Among Us, and failed miserably both times.

    However, after playing & reviewing SOULCALIBUR VI on January 2nd, I gave Injustice a third go, and it clicked.

    Still not really my go-to, and I haven't played either game since January.

    In March, Injustice 2 popped up for AUD$7, and I figured it was worth a shot.

    I finally took that shot.

    It was not worth a shot.

    I did not get off to a good start. My first attempt involved me taking a run at the tutorial in a game that insisted it had "Full Xbox One controller support" (as did Steam), and then consistently showed a PS4 controller on-screen, and showing the wrong buttons for combos.

    After fiddling with the controller mapping, I quit the game, hit the forums, enabled Steam input, and finally had a working controller.

    I stormed through the first part of the tutorial until I hit the combos, where I finally got stuck for five minutes just trying to get the timing and pattern right on a particular combo.

    I'd probably need to go back and have yet another go at Injustice to see if there's a difference, but fundamentally, I am completely unable to time the combo moves correctly to even complete the tutorial.

    After almost half an hour, my hands were sore, I was making zero progress, and the only thing I had to show for it was frustration.

    It's a good looking game, and if you're a big DC fan and good at fighting games, this might be right up your alley.

    Unfortunately, Injustice 2 was a waste of seven bucks, and 45Gb of SSD space; it's yet another:

  3. Went to download Injustice 2 on PC Game Pass and was greeted with a frowny face where "Install" should be.

    What's that about?
