No other arpg has ever done for me what this did. This was a disgusting mess of chaotic noise that made almost literally no sense and was flat broken half the time. But it was fun and prioritized fun. It showered you with so much XP and loot any given item meant nothing and was quickly mulched and I loved it. This was the standard loot treadmill on Jane stop this crazy thing fast and with all the haphazard development that comes with that and it was possibly one of my top five favorite games of all time.

I've said it before, but taking MOBA-style character design, i.e. a large playable cast with each with a unique kit, was an inspired choice for an ARPG. It goes a lot way toward fixing one of the genre's biggest problems, repetition fatigue from playing the same content countless times. When each of several dozen characters plays differently, you don't mind so much doing the same run over and over. I remain perplexed why no one else has tried it since.

The tone was also goofy as hell and fun. They took the dipshit stuff of comics and rolled with it hard. Shark legendary. (andsharklegendarymeltdown)

Skippy McPants posted:I remain perplexed why no one else has tried it since. Equally frustrating is the fact that every halfway decent ARPG is fantasy based and a near carbon copy of Diablo. Good old Titan Quest made an effort to set itself apart in setting at least, even if the building blocks were largely the same. Science fiction, urban fantasy and superheroes can all work. Unfortunately the big companies are risk averse as always, so Diablo it is. Smaller companies try, but we all know how that goes. Dark_Swordmaster posted:The tone was also goofy as hell and fun.

This one has three Satans in it!

Most companies are too worried about balance and poo poo. Marvel Heroes gave no fucks about balance. As it should be. It was a mostly single player game anyways, might as well let stupid poo poo fly.

Except that was what killed it in the end... they changed everything around for the sake of BALANCE!!! which drove everyone away.

I thought they did all that to try and improve the gameplay experience on a Gamepad. Like, the travel power nerf cause gamepads can't whip to the edge of a screen the way mice can, so they'd never be able to do the zipping through whole stages thing.

What killed the game was Disney having no real interest in maintaining the licenses that had been farmed out before they got involved. Basically all the other stuff was mostly their desperate attempts to go "no look at this money we can make you, please let us keep it."

Honestly what killed the game was us. Every single one of us should have made, minimum, 4 smurf accounts and purchased all hero advance packs. But we didn't. And now look at us.

I also really enjoyed getting new playable content as a drop by playing content (new hero tokens). Warframe is now my go to for large playable cast each with a unique kit.

No other arpg ever realized that killing trash mobs after a certain point sucked and you just want to teleport to the level exit within 5 seconds.

I think ARPG's generally have a lot of terrible design elements that they've shacked to themselves, and excessive trash clearing is definitely on the list. It's fun during early progression and for a while after for the power fantasy, but they'd do better to have some kind of skip element baked in for the late game.

Lmao I miss this game so much. Even though it was best when playing with other people, I’d even take just the single player story mode back to play it one more time. How were WoW servers made public yet this remains locked up?

as soon as the servers went offline they crumbled to dust. it was inevitable, really.

I have a confession to make. The game shutdown was my fault. I never cosmiced. I kept saying I would cosmic tomorrow and I never did. I'm sorry.

Someday there will be another game that gives us a Dr.Doom ultimate where he's carried around on a throne while fireworks go off and a glorious anthem plays. I hope I'm alive to see it.

Can't think of any other game with a cosmetic with a bad vagina. This was truly in a class of its own.

I didn't until literally the end of the game, hell I never prestiged at all before then. I cosmiced Hawkeye since he was my first character. Well, technically scarlet witch was my first but that was during the beta and that progress went poof.

# ? Jun 2, 2023 17:10 |
I never cosmicked. I got Punisher to purple before getting bored, and got Thing to orange because he's orange. I prestiged a handful of other characters only once or twice. I spent most of my time punching Taskmaster's Spike Spiegel rear end in his stupid face.

Prestiging to color match your character is the way

I loved Strange/Surfer so much, just running around dropping nukes/boards/insanity on everything in sight. I cosmiced those fuckers quick as I could.
