I remember playing this when I was younger and it was the hardest game ever, looking back on it I was probably just retarded but I was pretty proud I finished it due to the difficulty

I remember the final boss being a ball buster and also getting infuriated because i'd always forget to save before those flashback missions which were all ballbusters.

FUCK the New York Sentinel flashback so much

still love it to this day. spiderman 2 had a trailer in the pause menu and thats what lead me to get it. the only bad thing is no new game plus. i saw xavier was level 40 or something in the astral plane and assumed that was the level cap, but could never hit it it 1 play through. the biggest mistage of ultimate alliance was changing heavy attacks to a charge attack. ot killed the number of combos since you cant start with a charge attack. also, using fucking pipes off of walls that were stronger than mjionir. legends 2 was pretty cool, but i still prefer 1. starting the sequel with fighting bugs in the jungle felt dumb. im also not the biggest xmen guy, so fighting fucking sugarman and shit was weird. the in game stuff helped though, but i still think that game went off the deep end and the first one feels more consistent. only ranting since alliance 3 will be trash and this thread isnt likely to get bumped

UA1 was made by Raven Software, a good developer. UA2 was made by Vicarious Visions, a not so good developer.

>because i started gettin laid

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

X-Men Legends 1 is the best because its so focused and tight, i think.

The combat mechanics are the best they ever were, the story is an excellent little amusement park ride through a typical X-men story almost like the first Arkham game was, it was so good.

Im thinking im going to replay this bitch on dolphin soon.

My girl is already confirmed, so i'm all good. Punisher would be cool, mind you.

i've never played any legends/alliance game with other people. is there a way to do multiplayer on dolphin or pcsx2? its probably to convoluted to be worth it right?

I think Dolphin has a netplay feature.

Actually, i lie, i hope they finally managed to get Link and Samus in there.

>Nintendo sperged out because the build Samus and Link were on was the PS2 one when they were shown test footage and told them to completely nuke those characters entirely

What the fuck was their problem?

2099 is fucked because there are already three Spider-Men due to Team Ninja having too many ideas for one
Beta Ray Bill depends if they have too many ideas for one Thor

>They'll never redeem themselves by adding Link and Samus to 3
It hurts

They're ridiculously protective of their IPs. Seeing their characters on a competitor's console would have been an insult to them. At least with this being an exclusive, there's a chance to right that overreaction, and maybe have a couple of other characters too.

seems like the hardest part is still finding friends to do it with :(

Yeah but they werent even going to be on the PS2 version, it was just the build they were using to showcase the characters.

They can always be used as skins, though no idea if it's been mentioned the game will have them.
There's gameplay shown by the way.

I did in 2008 for the first ti.e at 24. Been gettin it regularly since. The last game i played before sex was the simpsons game. Thanks

Magazine article talked about some skill upgrade three (not for actual new attacks, but various modifiers), but we haven't seen it shown in any pictures or videos yet.

There's apparently an extensive challenge mode just to unlock stuff there though. It's also where the alternate costumes are unlocked this time.

Yeah, but they're Japs, muh honor or whatever. It's in the past now, and this is exclusive, so this is our chance.

I just want it to go back to being a diablo clone with 90s marvel lore...

This. I'm skeptical since they stated that everyone has only four powers.

:|

I am not amused.

If you thought MUA2 was bad wait till you play 3.

MUA3 has literally FOUR (4) abilities per character. It's barely even an RPG anymore.

>alternate costumes
Honestly I'm surprised. For some reason, I just feel the game will be awful. Here's hoping I'm pleasantly surprised.

You're not amused about what?

I need to see stats before I buy this. I feel like it's gonna get dumbed down.

Doesn't the first X-Men Legends game have some annoying donut steel character and the entire story revolves around her? I only ever played Ultimate Alliance 1 because of Spider-Man and because Ultimate Alliance 2 blows some serious ass and looks like ass too.

Link and Samus would be stupid.

They were originally planned to be in the Wii version of the first game, that's the only reason i stated it. There's history there

2 was better than the first one and 3 is going to be awful since it's a completely unrelated Jap dev instead of the original team.

Magma's always been an established character
She's just a character no one ever gave a shit about

I want Robbie Reyes and Gwenpool somehow

This is what I'm afraid of the most. I really need some in-depth gameplay.

It's 4 powers, as in attacks, and that's not counting the Xtreme and Synergy attacks, so closer to 6. Although it does mean that there's no real customization of the power loadout.
From the game informer article though

>-RPG stats like: Strength, Vitality, Mastery, Resistance, Durability, and Energy are present

>-Alliance upgrade system on top of regular hero upgrades, unlocked using credits and a new currency called: Enhancement Points. A node-based upgrade system that effects your whole team with upgrades like stat increases, ie: Might, energy, defensive and offensive buffs.

>-ISO-8 will be akin to gear equips, looks like we can have four equipped at a time. Decreased damage when low on health, more HP orbs after defeating an enemy, adding shock damage to certain abilities and attacks. Can also be dismantled to upgrade existing pieces of ISO-8 further.

I just hope I can get some buff and debuff powers

That doesnt make it a good idea.

Eh I guess we'll see. XML2 had a lot of customization on every single character and that's what made it so good. If MUA3 turns out to be a beat em up with shallow RPG elements then it is going to get boring very fast.

I really hope the game proves me wrong though.

What about the loot?

Rightclops. I don't even need any other characters but the X-Men.

It seems to be that ISO-8 thing.

> being unironically excited for fagclops
What's wrong with you?

Why does the new one look like a fucking phone game?

>Retard that only watched the movies and thinks he has the right to an opinion
Cyclops has long been one of the best characters in the entire Marvel canon. He became an ultrachad

He has been a whiny little bitchboy since the 60s.

Lmao ok you secondary

Because it was developed on a mobile chip set

I'm looking forward to Switch emulation getting good, even just running the game as higher res and FPS would help a lot. Big shame that it's a Switch exclusive but I never expected a MUA3 at all so I'll take it.

the worst you could say about cyclops before they turned him into hitler was that he was "boring." The only time he really bitched was when his wife kept dying and I guess dealing with prof x being a hypocrite. As far as character arcs go he's one of the better ones up until they decided to kill his character

It was a damn shame too

Not on PC, so I don't care. But the music was made by Rik Schaffer so no surprise it's good.

You can emulate it no problem

I know, I just don't care enough about X-Men to bother with.

Good taste, bud. I'd also throw in children of the atom for best marvel game.

The easiest way to know that MUA3 will be shit is to just look at their PR.

They are terrified of showing raw gameplay. The fucking game preview they released has the UI OFF lmao

underage b&

They also changed her name and origin because having the protagonist be the daughter of a senator from a secret Roman exclave in the Amazon Rainforest that has existed for 2000 years in secret would be too confusing.

He could never make the hard decisions, which is why he eventually gets everyone killed during the age of apocalypse.

Not really a Monkey's Paw for me. The comics suffer now but I never really kept up with the newer stuff too much anyway.

I see Activision on the bottom right.

It's a fucking mobile game with a console release. At best, it's just going to be putting stat points into plain linear trees with zero customization.

It's very clear that was probably the last X-Men story you ever read too. Cyclops has literally been "hard choices" the character for decades now. He managed to accomplish what Magneto and Xavier never could and this is after Scarlet Witch genocided their people. He's then had to make decisions like running X-Force in secret to assassinate their enemies and rallying all of mutantkind to take on the Avengers when they tried to fuck with the Phoenix after which he promptly murders Xavier when things are going downhill.
