@Gandressmex - still haven't played 2 because people on the internets want a freaking KIDNEY for it!

@ODanil - For what system? It's $19.95 on Steam. There is a copy for under $7 on eBay right now for the 360, and one for the PS2 for under $15. I don't think those prices are outrageous. Well, unless you live somewhere where kidneys are, like, $2.50 a piece...

@ODanil - save your money dude. 2 is a serious downgrade from one. Maybe better graphics but less powers, costumes and probably characters too. The story is also garbage.

Give me an Arkham style Captain America game with DLC of other Avengers please

@JustUsLeague - Have you ever tried Captain America Super Soldier? It's almost that. I loved that game even though I know it wasn't perfect, could have more scenery interactions and some more smart, necessary backtracking. Solid fun IMO.

Here's some gameplay:

@Fogs - They should try to do something similar of this but with the whole MCU saga. Would be fun.

@Fogs - I've heard mixed things about it but for the most part it does seem awesome for what it is. Was it an open world?

Or a remake of the Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction!

I loved that game.

Also some people would realize where most of the Prototype gameplay came from.

Can they not just bring back Avengers Alliance? That game was awesome and the only real reason I had Facebook.

Again with these motherfudging mobile shit-games.



Then again, mobile shit-games make easy money.


Well in that case......


If the mobile platform helps pay for all the Spider-Man PS4's of the world, then I'll gladly say long live touch-screens and pay-to-win mechanics, and stupid shoehorned Gwenpool appearances.

Yeah hate to pile on but i'm not big on mobile games either.

Anybody been playing Marvel Heroes Omega? Love that shit.

@TheManWithoutFear - On console or PC? I'm playing it on Xbox. Finished grinding everything for Blade today, started Angela. My Scarlet Witch is only missing Hand of Doom.

TheManWithoutFear - 7/28/2017, 1:37 PM
@Asturgis - I play it on PS4. I didn't understand a lot of what you just said, but i'm playing through with Ghost Rider and i'm loving it.

@TheManWithoutFear - Oh, it's too bad, [frick] Sony for refusing cross-play with Microsoft, seriously, we should all be able to play with our friends regardless of their platform :( Ghost Rider is a good character, strong across the board, that's a good choice.

If you have the time to work on others, I recommend the 3 "broken" characters, Scarlet Witch, the farming tool that can one-shot anything on screen except a boss, Blade, the only one who can one-shot a boss, and Angela, who can make bosses kill each other to speed farm Midtown patrol. Those 3 will allow you to do any kind of content and farm resources for your other characters. Other really, really good characters without being broken are Iceman, Kitty Pride, Storm, Rocket Raccoon, Hulk, She-Hulk, or Thor.

Don't hesitate to shoot me a msg if you need any info :)

I always wanted a create your own mutant X-Men game where you forge an alliance with Professor X or Magneto (or both).

C'mon guy, look on the bright side. I thought about trolling you with the headline: Marvel and 20th Century Fox Strike An Agreement...On a New Mobile Action-RPG Game.
