Wow, this game no longer runs like rear end on my computer. Awesome. I have no idea how any of the characters I 60'd a year ago play now, though. Any tips for punisher/winter soldier/star lord?

RIP this dumb game, it was fun to re download it every few months when I felt like getting drunk and melting mooks as The Punisher.

I really liked being able to play MH drunk as a lord and both not die and get lootsplosions while using some of my favorite superheroes as PC's. PoE is too technical and if I got whiskeyed up and spent skill points I might end up regretting it.

real talk I've been in such a bad place mentally these days and MH's colorful everything and satisfying combat used to help me a lot and i have nothing to fill that void.

Dark and dismal ARPGs are all there are.

Diablo 3 would work if I didn't play it to death and the Torchlight games are poo poo and Van Helsing sucks in every regard but its theme.

Where the cartoony ARPGs at? :smith:

The fact that this game was completely brain dead made it the best stress ball after a lovely day.

It was so fun and so brain dead. I could either actually play and work towards a build, or I could get shithammered after a long day and run around midtown splatting a bunch of comic book villains while pretty colors flew around everywhere.

And updating the preexisting characters and uniques to fix their mistakes and even out the power creep generally turned out pretty well, especially when it created new power schemes that were more interesting than what came before. Man, I miss Lightning Thor, Movement Spidey and Groots-A-Go-Go Rocket...

Adding entirely new mechanics like Momentum for Juggernaut and the Punisher’s reload stuff was brilliant. The fact they were so incompetent at so much but so capable of making so many characters play completely uniquely, in ways that worked with the actual character, is the weirdest dichotomy I’ve seen in gaming in a while.

Feels like they are still in that phase. I've said it here before, but with how huge their franchise is right now you'd think there be a zillion games of every type on every platform. But there's like 2. It's the same problem with Star Wars.

The Star Wars thing is at least EA’s idiocy, but the Marvel stuff isn’t locked down to one publisher so it’s just fuckin’ baffling.

I wish that Iron Man VR game wasn’t PSVR exclusive, since I only have a Rift now.

Free Discord Wrestling League: Sorry this is off topic but I’m just working on filling this out. Need 14 more peeps to be created wrestlers in awful game WWE 2K20 where I’m running some live-streams of Royal Rumble mode with only our goon brethren. You get randomly created and this is the first time doing this. Got some giveaways going to the winners. Once you’re in, you just get to follow along! Here’s a sample of some who have already joined. We are at 54 so far. THANKS AND LOVE YOU



These are some of the goons who joined. The random creator did this.

If you want to join the fun league and relive the Wild 110 again, let me know! I let the PC autoplay it and it’s going to probably, the jury is still out, but probably good.

The first one that really made me go “drat, these guys really made a Marvel game” was Juggernaut’s momentum setup. Made him play differently than any other character, and for sure made him play like Juggernaut.

I appreciate the effort they put into the reworks. I was one of the poor fucks who used Thing and Punisher regularly even before their reworks, and holy poo poo did they get massively improved after. Thing went from generic punching and charging to beating people with signposts and throwing hotdog carts. Punisher went from generic small arms and grenades to flamethrowers, a minigun and a goddamn nuke. Never did get to drive that van, though.

I remember when everybody got their non-combat travel power. Thing was stuffed into the Fantasticar and looked so silly :allears:

The punisher was the first character I unlocked and I enjoyed him before the rework (I put the machine gun skill on RMB and it was so fun aiming in the direction of red dots on the minimal and seeing them vanish) but after, man. That reload mechanic was inspired and made for a really fun and active playstyle.

The closest feel to this I've been able to get was with Last Epoch since their last patch, where they made the Druid sub-class able to shapeshift directly between 3 different forms with their own full action bars, each ability having its own wonky scaling you can bust open even worse (like making your stuff in bugman form scale off of minion damage instead of your own damage). No part of it feels remotely balanced, you one-shot anything you look at, and you spend most of your time hunting for gear that satisfies absurdly niche stat needs. Also, it's only this one sub-class so far, of 3 in this class, and of 5 total classes.

Which gives me some MH vibes in a few different directions.

I KNEW I bought that game in a drunken haze for a reason.
