Injustice 2 Will Probably Have Guest Characters, Ed Boon Explains How They're Included

The past three games from Netherrealm have had guest fighters, and Injustice 2 will more than likely follow suit. But how do they pick guest stars?

Give me clown boy for PS4 version

Talion from Shadow of Mordor could be dope

You know who would be awesome in this? Bigby from The Wolf Among Us. Fables is a DC property, right? Totally doable! SOMEONE GET TELLTALE GAMES ON THE PHONE.

"Remember THIS!" *claws out Flash's eyes*

[Hold_It]

Ah, the more news I hear about this game the less interested I become. Casuals are really starting to undermine gaming now.

[KentBenMei]

Because of guests? Lol.

[Hold_It]

Yes, because of guests. When I play a game that has DC characters in it, I want to play a game with DC CHARACTERS in the game. Not Marvel characters, not non-dc characters. Guest characters just take away a slot from a character that could have made the cut, but couldn't. MK was already plagued with too many Horror movie characters. Those slots could have gone to Noob, Rain, Shang Tsung, Frost, Mavado, and many other characters that people actually wanted. Plus, Injustice is also a comic book fighting game, and is based upon the comic book series they started. You can't put Goku and Geralt, and Talon in The Wolf Among Us, so you can't put them in Injustice.

Non-fans want guest characters, that's what they're aimed at. If they're going to include guest characters, then it should be someone from a DC property like V from V for Vendetta, or Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan, The Comedian, Sandman, or other characters like that.

Then again, I don't expect you to understand, because whenever I post on anything and you reply, it's always some kind of personal attack based reply, or some ill intended one.

Actually to be fair, DC is a Warner Brothers property so characters like Godzilla and such fit since they are owned by the company itself. Besides, does it really matter? Lol No one is forcing you to play them mate and it just makes the roster more interesting and dynamic. As much of a DC fan as I am, it's always cool to see a different gaming/movie/comic IP enter the fray.

Also, and I am sorry to burst your bubble, these games aren't designed for just hardcore audiences lol

[KentBenMei]

Agreed 100%. He's got a stick up his back side lol.

"Yes, because of guests. When I play a game that has DC characters in it, I want to play a game with DC CHARACTERS in the game. Not Marvel characters, not non-dc characters. Guest characters just take away a slot from a character that could have made the cut, but couldn't."

Then play as one of the DC character already in the game. Too bad you can't force every slot into being what YOU want, my poor angel but not everything is about YOU. There's plenty of toys for you to play with as-is, you don't need to throw a fit. Learn to share, sweetheart.

"MK was already plagued with too many Horror movie characters. Those slots could have gone to Noob, Rain, Shang Tsung, Frost, Mavado, and many other characters that people actually wanted."

Most, if not all, of the horror movie characters were DLC, were they not? You had your full game of DC characters and they added some fun stuff on top that you didn't need, stuff people wanted. Why is that a problem? If I order a hamburger for $5 and someone else orders a CHEESEburger for $6, why should I care? I have my hamburger and I was content until I saw someone else add cheese to theirs. I apparently need to discover the world does not cater exclusively to my desires and wants, that other people exist. People who like cheese when I don't, cheese which doesn't affect my burger.

"Plus, Injustice is also a comic book fighting game, and is based upon the comic book series they started. You can't put Goku and Geralt, and Talon in The Wolf Among Us, so you can't put them in Injustice. "

Why not? It's DLC. It doesn't affect you unless you allow it to. Don't buy it or don't use it. It won't affect the story of the comicbook and it won't affect the story of the video game. Why are you saying they CAN'T be in?

Plus most DC fans would love to be able to lay the smackdown on Goku with Superman (even though Goku would whoop his ass in a real story).

"Non-fans want guest characters, that's what they're aimed at. If they're going to include guest characters, then it should be someone from a DC property like V from V for Vendetta, or Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan, The Comedian, Sandman, or other characters like that. "

I'm a fan, so why do I want guest characters? Does that somehow invalidate me as a fan? You're speaking for everyone when you should only be speaking for yourself. This isn't like Final Fantasy XV where the entire series was ruined for non-fans to enjoy it, this is merely some DLC we're talking about here which does nothing to affect anyone except those who like it.

"Then again, I don't expect you to understand, because whenever I post on anything and you reply, it's always some kind of personal attack based reply, or some ill intended one."

I'm sorry babe, I didn't know your feelings were so tender and delicate. I'll play nicely from now on while you bark about being a true fan, and deem others to be casuals. Lol, the irony is THICK with this one...

[S-Word]

This is a big reason why I like SFV. It's the only true fighting game this gen without guest characters.

[GigawattConduit]

And guest characters are bad..why?

[KentBenMei]

Because he's a big baby who takes his hobby to seriously despite not needing to pick the guests.

[KentBenMei]

DBZ's Goku is a MUST.

Goku VS Superman would be legendary.
