Black bodysuit, red spider logo across the torso on both sides, red eyes on the mask.

That sounds like Thunderbolt era Venom.

I'm pretty sure trying to gold rank these challenge tokens is going to break my goddamn mind. Or at least my controller.

You don't need to do that to platinum the game, if that's your goal.

You need 39 total for suits. So if you're not confident in getting golds, make sure you keep that many and don't waste them on gadgets if you want all the suits.

I haven't unlocked all of them yet, but of the ones I have I seriously can't imagine wanting all of them. I'll probably even save some tokens for DLC because I really hope one of them has the Fantastic Bagman costume or the Future Foundation one.

They don't have the right to any fantastic four paraphernalia sadly

Marvel doesn't have the rights to FF gear? because they're currently publishing a comic named Fantastic Four. And I don't think the movie deal ever applied to videogames since the FF are in both Ultimate Alliance games.

There has to be something up though, right? The Baxter Building should be right there in NY, but it's not one of the monuments to snap like the Sanctum or Avengers Tower.

It's a bit weird, since there's Avengers tower and as far as I know zero references to the Avengers existing outside that.

I'm hoping, since they are currently working on the DLC there might be some reference to the FF. Maybe in a sequel where they help Spider-Man get rid of a certain black suit.

IIRC, the FF/X-Men licensing ban wasn't relaxed until last year, so it might have been too late to add it. idk

That's why I hoping for it in the DLC. I know the first one is Black Cat centric but we don't have much info on the other ones.

There really is a poo poo load of different tools you have in combat. It's tough to remember all of them. The only thing I don't like about the challenges is that there's nothing to explain exactly how to improve your score in the stealth and combat challenges. Arkham explained everything at the end of each challenge. I had to experiment with the stealth in particular.

The bombs and drones were how I got a few golds to have enough tokens for all the suits.

I think it's like 90% time for combat and stealth.

The stealth sequences are worth it for taking selfies. Especially MJ next to a Sable agent she just tasered, I was actually dissapointed there wasn't one with the fire where she's helping evacuate people and you still have the taser.

I'm just hoping Wolverine, Storm, and Nightcrawler are the tip of the X-Men iceberg. It would also be cool if they actually do add a couple of Nintendo characters this time around– iirc that was the (scrapped) plan for the Wii version of MUA. Let me have a team with Captain America, Falcon, and Captain Falcon.

Add Bayonetta you cowards.

The F4 seem conspicuously absent looks like, also looks like no Silver Surfer or Namor so there goes my OG Defenders team.

Square's Avengers game looks not very promising to me. Insomniac's Spider-Man gave us an interpretation of the character that was trying to stand out from the other Spider-Men, something original. Square's Avengers looks like soulless MCU cash in. Plus Deus Ex was left on a cliffhanger just to make it. gently caress that.

What are you basing this on, there's literally almost no information available.

I was playing Ultimate Alliance 1 and there's a side quest where you have to choose between two hackers, one of which is named CB Cebulski and is the correct option because he's totally trustworthy and would never sell out his friends

The thing is that it's not quite so simple. Games have not increased their price in 12 years while the complexity and development time for everything has increased. Making a new costume now is a significantly greater investment of time. A lot of this stuff just straight-up would not exist without paid DLC .When you talk about how we 'used to get with the base game' you're talking about games that had fewer polygons total than Spider-Man's asscrack has these days.

That doesn't mean it can't be predatory or scammy but it isn't a case of "it would be free if not for that." It's far more likely a lot of it straight-up wouldn't exist.

I get that it's more complicated now, but Spider-Man PS4 has a bazillion and 2 costumes in the base game.

I just read a review that says UA3 has a bunch of stat management bullshit which makes me very happy. I'd say I'm curious to see online play but then unfortunately it's Nintendo so I already know it's rear end.

Can you put it on auto and ignore it? The first MUA let you pick and choose when you unlocked special abilities and manually manage your equipment, but also had an auto level and auto equipment system that worked well enough on normal difficulty playing with friends.

I was more referring to how poorly (which is to say not at all) Nintendo has implemented the simplest poo poo like voice chat or inviting friends to games.

I think the voice chat thing is on purpose so ten year olds can play online without "gamer words" being screamed at them. Like, obviously voice chat with your friends should be obvious and intuitive at this point in online gaming, but everyone has a cellphone with unlimited minutes and usually wifi calling if your signal is bad, so it shouldn't be a deal breaker.

Origins was the absolute worst for Riddler Trophies, because instead of capturing Riddler or punching him in his stupid smug face, your reward for finding all the Enigma trophies was finding out that Enigma was The Riddler, which any idiot guessed the minute the character was introduced.

The Batmobile was amazing because they actually admitted prior to Arkham Knight they couldn't think of a way to make the Batmobile fun but it was the #1 most requested thing and whoops, turns out that it isn't actually that fun to Batmobile.

Also, the way they wrote Batman in those games, there's no way he wouldn't have just snapped Joker"s neck the next time they met after seeing the video of Jason Todd "dying." The timeline makes no sense because it had to have happened before Arkham City.
