    Yeah that drove me nuts…I kept getting all thrown off with spacebar on Kraken too...

    So, Deadpool + Murderworld = Pure Win.

    [spoiler:2a09ea4777]Deadpool running over clowns in a bumpercar? And in the Arcade fight 2 of my guys got stomped, so it was pretty much up to Deadpool. Deadpool getting shot out of a cannon and annoying a giant robot?


    Yes please.[/spoiler:2a09ea4777]

    Deadpools comic mission (also in the Murderworld) is pretty cool too.

    Really? I found the Winter Soldier fight easy but the disarming of the 3rd bomb really fucking hard.

    His reward costume is worth it though.

    I asked this in G&T but I guess people have gotten tired of talking about the game there. Anyone know of a good walkthrough? The one I've been using and the others I've found only seem to go to about halfway through Act 3.

    I don't care about finding every little thing, but I do want those sim disks.

    Goddamn, the frost giant fight is freaking retarded.

    I mean, it's got the button hitting thing that messes me up on my keyboard bad enough, but then they have you fighting at a camera angle that makes it almost impossible to know where you even are, let alone fight well.


    Goddamn

    But the Wii version is definitive, better controls and better shaders and the such. And then you've got MP3, Super Mario Galaxy, and SSMB: B to look forward too.

    On the other hand, Gears of War is really, really awesome, so it's up to what kind of games you like.

    Oh yeah no doubt the Wii has some awesome stuff.

    Just, Zelda isn't really a reason to pick it up in and of itself seeing as you can get it on a console you may already own.

    True enough.

    Also, if M: UA is a deciding factor on which platform you go with, keep in mind the differences in the versions, namely, different controls for the Wii(menu selection of abilities is replaced with using gestures), and online play with the 360.

    So, uh, this mod lets you play as Colossus and Moon Knight on the PC version.

    http://mistertrioxin.seetle.net/HTMLobj-3233/ColossusMK.rar

    Edit: I've heard that trying to load a saved game with these characters enabled usually just crashes, so your best bet is to start a new game.

    When you start a new game, it asks if you wannna use data from a previous save. Just select your most recent save (or your only save, if you just save over a single one) and you have all of your unlocked outfits and stats in the new game.

    Argh...man, this is an awesome game, but every now and then there's some shit that just ruins things...

    [spoiler:1a37054e24]During the final fight with Doom while I'm attempting to take out the dark FF, my entire AI team spends the entire fight charging Doom and getting knocked back over and over and over. So I spend 20 minutes clearing clones, then one of those stupid 'minigames' starts and I've lost before I've even seen which key pops up on the screen.

    Ok I think my copy of the game is broken. My Captain America seems to be sexually attracted to bottomless pits. I'm serious, he'll stop mid-battle and just run headfirst into a giant hole. I'm getting really sick of backtracking to save points and waiting five minutes to get his ass back in play. What the shit?

    Deadpools dual wield blast is also insane. When Wolverine goes feral, boss fights take like 10 seconds. I can't not use spider-man on my team due largely to fanboyism, he just doesn't do nearly as good as some of my other characters do :(

    It depends on what you put your points into. If you level up that web yank move, he isn't bad. Plus, swinging around with him is unbeatable.

    I haven't finished it yet, but according to the walkthrough

    [spoiler:b26cd6dfbf]If Nightcrawler dies,

    Mystique kills Xavier in revenge. If Phoenix dies, she comes back as Dark Phoenix and blows shit up. And yes, one of them has to die. As for Lilandra, there's a high-HP console next to her that needs to be destroyed, it takes about 30 seconds.[/spoiler:b26cd6dfbf]

    Ok, I need a little input. I'd like suggestions on powers and costumes.

    To start off, I'd like input on Spidey, Deadpool, Cap, and Iron Man.....

    Oh yeah, I have Colossus and Moon Knight thanks to that slick mod, on the off chance that Moon Knight is ridiculously better than Cap or Iron Man, let me know about him too.

    P.S. Yes I am crossposting this in the other thread.
