Obscure /co/ Video Game Appreciation

>>84259878
That game sucked. Just because all the previous Wolverine games were shit, it didn't mean WR was good.

The only good Wolverine game is Origins.

It's not amazing, but it's a playable, if short, TPS. I just think it's really surprising that this was released in North America, considering that Paperinik wasn't (still isn't) known in the US.

Buy Duck Avenger when it comes out in August, guys.

Are there any ways to play these older games without buying an old system or being some kind of tech genius who knows who to jury-rig the current systems.?

>>84260440
well it was on PC.

Or use an emulator.

Supposedly a lot of people play it, but I rarely hear it talked about.

Marvel Puzzle Quest.

Fun match game with light RPG and Strategy elements. Not a hugely robust character selection, but all your heavy hitters are there with multiple skins. Think maybe 30 characters in all with 2-3 skins each usually.

Playing X-Men Legends 1 on GC at the moment. It's actually quite good although I do hate how it's one of those games where you can't go backwards, you just keep moving forwards till the game ends. Quite counterintuitive in a Diablo-like game.

>>84260440
>Download PCSX2
>Google for "[game name] PS2 ISO"
>For PS1 it's ePSXe
>For GC and Wii it's Dolphin
>also check if they had a PC version and if it was utter shit or not

Is that infamous shit X-Men game really as bad as people say? The one where you pick one of three OC characters at the start?

>>84261150
>X-Men Destiny

Yep.

>>84260749
in XML2 you can backtrack

Speaking of, are there any more Diablo like /co/ games similar to XML or MUA? I fucking love them with a fiery passion

>>84261378
There's the F2P Marvel Heroes. Almost every character is free but only up to level 10 ("almost" because newer ones stay purchase-only for a bit before being free). You get uncommon but not ridiculously rare drops that you save up to buy characters and can even get outright instant free character drops. Events also give out free character tokens.

It's not F2P in the usual way of limiting you with an energy meter or anything, it's just in terms of uncapping characters' max level. It's made by one of the guys that made Diablo. It's more Diablo-like than XML or MUA, as well. More complex skill trees and a greater focus on item drops rather than simply clearing levels.

This. XML2 is my favorite superhero game, did a lot of builds. [Iceman melee was best Iceman]

>>84261635
Deadpool was OP

You can solo both XML2 AND MUA with him alone.

>>84261550
Made up characters called the Imperfects, they're pretty much ripoffs of existing Marvel Characters.
>>84261570
The multiplayer is kinda fun, but is mostly Rage and projectile spam, the story is a mess though.

>>84261743
>Made up characters called the Imperfects, they're pretty much ripoffs of existing Marvel Characters.

Nigga you're expecting too much from an open world on a DS' hardware. Before GTAChinatownwars existed this was the best city roam game you can buy in that time. Plus scan all the vehicles and a ton of good missions for the Con side.

>>84262799
Mmm.. Depends on how into /v/ you are I suppose?

The /co/ related aspects are great, even for free. The power sets, the enviroments, the heroes n villains are all fun for us /co/mrades.

The actual /v/idya of it all leaves a bit to be desired when truly being f2p. Certain power sets r blocked off. And wait time for servers on free is infuriating.

Tl;dr - you won't be disappointed by any means on free, but temper expectations accordingly

>>84262799
Also, the intro cinematic is 10x better than any feature, live action film put out by DC ever. Fact.

I loved Batman Returns for Lynx. It was so fucking hard that I never beat it, but that was honestly the case for most Lynx games.

>>84265760
The only issue I had with this game was Peter's voice. In game he's supposed to be an adult, married to MJ, either in college or just out but his voice sounded like he was about to start high school next year.

>>84265760
Is that the one where you fight some giant think in a park pretty early on?

>>84265919>

Not just that, but it was so fucking nasally and whiny. It was like one of the few things holding that game back.

>>84261888

What do you recommend for PS1 emulation, then?

>>84260749
Just to add to this
>GBA or DS = No$GBA (surprisingly demanding, at least last time I used it)
>SNES = Snes9x
>Mega Drive = never really bother but I did use Gens before and had no problems
>NES = honestly doesn't matter, they're all decent, but Jnes is the most recently updated
>PSP = PPSSPP (free official Android version as well which is pretty cool)

>Luke Cage doesn't take you seriously
>Moon Knight mistakes you for a thief
>Wolverine doesn't even try to hide the fact he wants to shank you
>Black Widow attempts to arrest you

Meanwhile the villains act like Pokemon, punch them in the face enough and they'll join you. And Black Cat can be summed up as "Let's take over this city and you will get laid every night."

I could not choose the black suit path any faster.

>>84268284
Crazy fun but kind of like a worse version of Shattered Dimensions.

>>84268595
WoS has a casualized swinging that sticks closely to buildings but it doesn't let you swing in open parks much like Spider-Man 2. It does let you web zip though which is slightly faster.

It's alright, loved it a bit too much but that's just my opinion.

Obscure game, and obscure comic.

>>84268284
>>84268455
I played ASM1 and I can honestly say it is not good. It's not a bad or awful game (that's ASM2), but the first one is retardedly easy and the only fun thing about it is the web swinging, which was the only thing to improve in ASM2. The combat is a very poor ripoff of the Arkham games' freeflow, and the game is so easy that I beat it on my first playthrough on the hardest difficulty with no issues. The alternate costumes are nice though, same with the map

>>84268595
>>84268637
Don't play the PS2 version. When I first heard of this game, I got excited and bought the PS2 version because I didn't have a PS3 and I felt ripped off because I thought it would be open world like past Spider-Man games (it was a linear platformer on PS2, but open-world on PS3 and Wii). When I saw open world footage, I was confused but never ended up playing the game on another console, unfortunately

>>84268714
2 was better

>>84268741
There was a second Friend or Foe?

>>84268714
oh shit, this game. It was simple but the charm was good. The intro was fantastic as well.

So, now that this has turned into spider-man games thread, which one is the best open world Spidey game? i fucking loved >>84268487 but never really tried any other besides ASM2 and that was fucking horrible

>>84268715
PC has one too, but you're going to have to download the patch to fix the graphics a bit.

Also the DS WoS was better than the PS2.

>>84268787
Openworld, I'd say Spider-Man 2. Combat wise, WoS but SM2 has some good movesets that the other games never touched on like tying up criminals on a lamp/traffic light post.

>>84268826
>SM2 has some good movesets that the other games never touched on like tying up criminals on a lamp/traffic light post.
That was REALLY fun, i wonder why they never used it again

>>84268856
they wanted flashy aerial combat instead. Just look at the rest of the games.

Heck I enjoyed being spider-man of murder by piledriving the villains from the top of a tower.

>>84268856
The top thing I remember about SM2 is that if you were good enough you could get through entire fights without being touched.

>>84268651

>>84268885

Fuck, I remember getting up early to play this before school

>>84259878
Man, I don't know if it was my copy of the game or what, but the Magneto fight had a cripplingly bad glitch, Mags never landed when he went for the magnet. He was almost impossible to hit. Without knowing about the claw dive attack (which the game never tells you about) it's impossible to beat.

But the game was amazing, it's the little touches. The number of costumes was good, the combo kills were fun, and if you pick someone up after beating them down bare handed, then pop claws when they're over your head, the claws go through them and they stop struggling.

>>84261468
Tons of fun, but some of the characters were insanely overpowered.

>>84268787
Ultimate was great because it had more comic locations like the Sanctum Sanctorum, Venom was like playing Hulk with a hookshot, and you got to kill one of those infuriating balloon kids from SM2.

SM2 however was better in other ways. More varied side missions, personally I think charged jump>double jump, plus the jumping was different if you were sprinting, you could choose to jump high, or far. The Shocker boss fights were great, and Black Cat was GOAT.

>>84268595
The combat and web swinging/zip is nailed down perfectly. It really feels like you are SPIDERMAN in this game. Like all his moves are exactly like how i'd imagine Peter to be like. It's perfect and a shame that no other spidey game decided to stick to that formula instead of recreating the basics from the ground up for the umpteenth time.

That being said, Pete's voice actor sounds shit. MJ was written horribly as usual and there are no side missions or collectibles aside for escort missions or beat x amount of people for exp.

>>84277399
Hamill actually voiced Wolverine one year before Steve Blum. (X2: Wolverine's Revenge was released in 2003. One year before Blum first voiced him in Legends.) But they do have similar voices. For instance their gruff heroes are similar as well as their crazy maniacal super villains (Joker, Hobgoblin, Green Goblin, Starscream etc.)
