Here's a roundup on info regarding characters considered for Marvel vs Capcom 3.

God, this is depressing seeing who was mooted then discarded while some truly boring characters still made it in. Still, it goes both ways though - I refuse to believe there is anyone on the planet who would have wanted The Hood in either.

Presumably for Infinite they can just stick a ScarJo-ish head on Jill Valentine, give her a new super and a zap move and call it a day.

It still makes me laugh to this day that a barely remembered film cash-in game had a voice cast consisting of Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe and Tom Wilkinson.

It's just so like the regular spidey suit, but so shiny and angular. It hits all the good spots in my lizard brain.

Nah, it's a nice one. I basically switched between that, the classic and the Homecoming one the entire time, with an honourable mention for the Spirit Spider for metal selfies. The cel-shaded one is nice too but it just leaves you wanting the entire thing done to match.

Would have been nice to get a real old skool one with the Ditko web patten and underarm wings but hey, maybe next time.

All this fighting game talk just makes me wish Sega would stop loving about* and make a VF6. I've never felt more glorious in a fighting game than wu-shuing the gently caress out of my Akira and Lion playing chums with Lei-Fei. Everything flowed so beautifully, I almost felt I really was a kung fu master schooling chumps while dressed in his underpants.

I'd like an open city Blade game where I get to drive around in a muscle car putting as many pasty-faced uphill-skating motherfuckers to the sword as possible please, or a Catwoman/Black Cat heist thing where you sneak into various places to nab the loot (thinking a less murderous Hitman type thing - popping into the Baxter Building or Sanctum Sanctorum would be wild). A Jess & Jen team up for detective-cum-courtroom adventures would also be acceptable.

I get where Jordan is coming from, I also finally got round to installing Miles Morales after getting it with my PS5 a year ago and I can't shake the feeling I was more impressed visually with the main game on PS4. Maybe it's just the gloomy winter setting though making everything look a bit glum, dunno. And yeah, had a few weird bugs here and there, it certainly feels rough around the edges.

But on a more positive note, Miles owns, swinging around still owns, and I've just unlocked The Best Suit so I'm more or less happy. Had to turn off its frame effect though because it was messing up my eyes.

Ah, Shadow Man. I loved Redd Pepper's portentous doom-laden tones gettin' all introspective as you go deeper and deeper into the Aslyum. Plus Legion calling you a pillock at the end of it for believing all the prophecy bollocks.

All that wretchedly dull Gotham Knights trailer tells me is that they should have just made an Azbats game instead and let me fire bat shuriken out of my Xtreme gauntlets and dig dozens of gadgets out of my dozens of pouches. Just go full 90s with it.

It is unironically the best X-Men game ever made that just happens to not just be about X-Men characters.

Like if they used everything from this but just transplanted it to the Xavier Mansion it would be a perfect X-Men simulator.

Gah, please stop saying this, I don't like card games or X-Com or turn-based stuff but all you folks gushing over the character stuff are making me super curious about it because who doesn't want to hang out with best girl Magik and get a Cyclops Was Right shirt?

See, the way you feel about Carol is how I feel about Iron Man, minus the Binary thing. He just consistently feels underpowered and useless to me (despite having more epic cards than anyone else at the mo), I've stopped bothering unless I have to. At the moment, I'm basically Hunter & Magik BFFs 4eva + one other, usually Blade or Nico (I got a better handle on her since my earlier post), with Spidey or Carol if the others are injured/on ops. Tony, Strange and Steve are on abbey duty. Robbie yeah, he's too much effort for too little reward right now, those drop cards are The Worst.

The main takeaway is that I would totally read/watch a team book/show with Hunter, Illyana, Nico, Blade, Robbie, and Peter being Super Pals doing occult stuff together. EMO Kids 4 life, yo.


I did think about getting the DLC too but honestly, IDGAF about Venom, Deadpool or Morbius. Would totally be up for Storm tho.

Got the one round win and no damage taken trophies thanks to Logan and Illyana being AWESOME as gently caress. My man just sliced the everliving poo poo outta all of these motherfuckers while we dumped the rest through a nice trip throuh Limbo. I am having an obscene amount of fun with this game.

Am a little disappointed that Illyana’s challenge outfit isn’t Full Darkchylde goat legs, horns and a tail but the leggo card will have to do.

Hunter’s VA reminds me of Mark Meer’s flatter take on Shep in the first Mass Effect, feels like she’s playing it pretty neutral for the most part. I guess considering she’s a sheltered middle ages girl resurrected in the present day to all sorts of crazy poo poo it kinda works but it’d have been nice if the VA had moments to let loose because she was great playing unhinged as Trilla in Fallen Order.



I have a new favourite spell to use on all those big, beefy bastards who like to put shields up every other minute.

I just finished Book Club and am upset that i) I’m nearing the end; and ii) Hunter didn’t get to suggest a book. I could read Illyana’s shitposting on hero Twitter forever.

It’s good that there’s pet the dog and cat prompts but there also needs to be a pet Peter option too, bless him.
