I've been kicking around the idea of avoiding all forms of media related to Injustice after Friday so I can have some surprises when I get the game. Has anyone else considered doing this?

I'm at odds with myself, because I'd really like to know if Martian Manhunter and Black Manta are in the game, but I'd love to be surprised as hell to see them when I pop the disc in my PS3 on the 16th.

Such a hard decision.

Well, which side would you rather be wrong on? If Martian/Manta are in, and you choose to stay, you lose the surprise, but you get the joy of analyzing their designs (it's a joy for me, at least). If they're absent, then at least you get to join in on the chaos surrounding other reveals.

I guess the question is how much do you like surprises? I enjoy them, but after they transpire, it's like they never happened. Have you ever gone to bar, spent a crap load of money, and the next day thought, "I spent all that cash, and I have nothing to show for it." That's how I feel about surprises. I like them, but only at low-cost.

How you feel about the other reveals counts, too. For me, nothing helps pass the time till release like a really good character render. It also depends how optimistic you are. If you believe we're getting 26 characters, then there are indeed more surprises for you. My money is still on 24, and even though we don't know exactly who the last remaining few are, I think we can selectively narrow it down at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the only real surprise left is the boss fight.

I'd love to, but I don't have the will power for that. I managed to not get hooked on following Injustice info until a few months ago. I kept interests elsewhere, and only then just started really looking at all the interviews and footage, feeling compelled enough to start posting about it. So i'm greatful for that, not having to look at all the info for almost a year.

So yeah, this last month is just going to be too brutal not to look at stuff and talk about it. That's most of the fun for me though. I always love each MK that I have been around for the lead up to(started here in 2001 for the leadup to MK:DA), and the speculation and reactions to the news as it hits, is a lot of fun. Once the game is out, I pretty much stop coming here as much, until the next game is announced(this site is my homepage, so i'm always seeing the news regardless).

So I can't leave. If the story is somehow leaked, i'll be far more cautious and less wanting to come on here, but I enjoy the character announcements and such.

Really my only 'fear' is that I'll wait for the game without learning about any new confirmations, all the while hoping Martian Manhunter is at least playable, and I get the game, and he isn't. That will probably be the only thing keeping me coming back for updates about the game.

Nah I may still be reading through here. I don't really mind getting spoiled for fighting games. Except for this case, I just won't read any possible spoilers in regards to the actual story of Injustice. But everything else im cool with it.

Nope. I need to know if Raven is playable before the game is released. If I turn it on to find out she's not, I will kill someone.

My only 'fear' for staying on these boards, is that someone gets a hold of a copy of the game a few days before release, and spoils the entire storyline... kinda what happened with MK.

This. That is what I would hate. Like a thread that said 'Firestorm confirmed!' and when you click it, it will have some kimd of story kill like Luthor betrays Batman after Batman beats Superman! lolololol!!
