Ok so I just watched the stuff on gametrailers cause I missed Game Head last night but man looks like once again EA Chicago is goin to make another shitty fighting game.
Ok so first off heres the link to the show
The playlist is on the right side so you can look for what you want.
Although they say its a year out and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt these were my gripes.
1) FUCK ARENA style brawlers, if there goin this route I want at least 4 players online.
2) Character designs Doom is massive (should be slimmer), WW2 Cap America? Like I love cap but why would you do a WW2 version first?, Juggernaut looked like his X3 costume and that looks like shit.
3) this one is just useless bitching especially with the game so far out but Spidey's voice sounds like he was some juiced up bodybuilder

And i hope you didn't just call Fight Night Round 3 a 'shitty fighting game'. Really.
I only ment Def Jam, although I'm not fan of Fight "Keep throwing those haymakers" Night
Its a mediocre boxing sim.
Am I the only one who misses the Imperfects? No one ever considers their feelings!
Fix'd that one for you.
do we have to do this? Not everyone has to agree with everyone else.
Fight Night felt very tactile to me, swinging and landing a punch was very satisfying.
I suppose not, there is a much easier target to bitch about right here.
Now if someone comes in here and seriously defends Nemesis, I'll be amazed.
At best, it might be a fun Powerstone-like brawler that has a boatload of characters.
I mean... two games. One of which was pretty good.
Man a Marvel version of Powerstone would be awesome, but I don't think EA could do that, they keep using the term "Fighting Game" and I think thats their problem.
and one that was abysmal and so far removed from a fighting game. Like seriously it was a "throw and scratch" game.
That game is so bad but what made it worse is that they had a comic book series tie in and it was hyped to all holy hell. Plus they felt the need to crapisize not just ONE comic book legend like in Superman 64...oh no. We have to shit all over every awesome guy in Marvel history while we're at it.
I swear Angry Video Game Nerd needs to review Marvel Nemesis.
I mean, who do they have? Spider-man, The Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America? Who ever heard of these losers?
Now Johnny Ohm, THAT'S a supervillain!
Or Hero.
I forget. All their characters had really shitty backgrounds. I'm talking worse than "bit by a radioactive something."
A ballerina who had her arms and legs crushed in an earthquake(a natural disaster, mind you) and loses her family decides to kill OTHER families...by using earthquake creating technology. Err, what?
Now for this game: Why is Doctor Doom so huge?
The guys not a massive walking tank. He RARELY(if ever) uses "low-tech" missiles and weaponry that's so obvious...Nor does he travel to New York to cause random destruction. He's got his own country to rule, so he tends to make sure it's something extravagant.
Spider-man would NOT fight Dr. Doom on his own, either. Nor would he fight so...carelessly.
Also, the Hulk is not "some dude who looks like a random guy". He's a scientist. He also tends to keep himself clean-shaved.
And for fuck sake, why does the Hulk look like a Downy!?
EDIT: And the gameplay...Wow...it looks so...ugh.
It looks like you just hit them and they go flying, despite the character, the attack, etc. If it's a "strong hit", you go flying.
Even if it's the guy with no powers(Captain America) vs the guy who's supposed to be unstoppable(Juggernaut).
This is insulting as a gamer, as a comic book nerd, and as a human being.
And to top it all off? The guys at EA Chicago look like a bunch of douchebags.
I kind of like the new designs they have, though Chunky Doom just looks stupid. The Video also made it look that any time you hit someone they will be thrown 30 feet in the air. I'm really hoping they can polish this off and make it fun, it looks like it has some promise.
Knowing this is EA Chicago I'll be destroying my joysticks again to pull of moves that can be replicated with ease with the gamepad. Fight Night is cool but did anyone actually play through Def Jam 3? Will this game be about using your environments or actually pummeling your opponent?
Doesn't make it any less crappy looking.
Or maybe it's just really bad anatomy and design work.
If its anything like Nemesis, its just bad bad work.
I dunno, the videos on this look god awful. So far everything is screaming at me that this is gonna be a terrible terrible game. I bet I could sit here and list every possibility that could make this a bad game and I'll be right about every single one of them.
This game already has one advantage as far as I know in that it has none of those Imperfect guys coming back...
Wait, what was your dog doing to you that would make it so that kicking him would hurt your colon?
He looks like an overweight Dwight from The Office who's been doing some undercover work for the FBI causing him to mask his appearance with that pathetic "beard" and some sunglasses.
He bought me Marvel Nemesis.
Anyway I hopped around the video a bit and one non-related thing that pissed me off when they were doing the Bioshock review;
"I really could have done without the countless audio logs in Bioshock to fill out the story."
Uhhh WHAT?!
Also this game looks like it will play out like this. One punch knocks your enemy across the level that is destructible purely for aesthetic value to draw ones eye away from the poor gameplay, race across the level to catch up to him, have him knock you back across the level, run for a bit to catch back up to eachother, rinse repeat.
Knot?
Oh you sick fuck.

I feel bad, but I traded that shit in at a Gamestop for store credit, which I never do. I just wanted to be rid of it and get something out of it, even if that something was a pittance.
So how long until Activision rolls out MUA2, for those of us who would like to play a Marvel license game that is actually worth at least a rental?
Excuse me, but I wasn't the one that was taking it in that direction or taking it for that matter, you have MinnionOfCthulhu to thank for that.
Ugh.
you spelled 'horrible' wrong
You're the one probably fapping to the mental image.
Everyone was so...brutal and vicious. I mean if I'm playing Venom or Wolverine, fine. But Spider-man's not gonna kick the Human Torch in his chest so hard.
As long as it has She-Hulk.
And their stats and powers are at least PARTIALLY related to their powers. I mean, Ms. Marvel does less damage than Wolverine, takes less hits than Spider-man, and overall is just a shitty energy blaster?
Man...
