The most telling thing is the complete silence from Dyack. If this game had any kind of promise, you know he'd be out in front of it, trying to get some buzz. There has to be some kind of C team explanation.

This is one of the hallmarks of the entire gaming community. But hearing the impressions, seeing the screens, and watching the footage is probably going to be enough to convince people that it is a bad game (and it is).Captain N said:

Yes, there's a cutscene with Gambit where you bring him a package. Its sitting on the table in front of him and he goes "let me see what you brought me" then he immediately acts as if it has been opened even though its still sitting there closed.
Also saw Emma Frost get stuck on geometry and stutter through an opening in a fence in one of the early cutscenes.

Could they fix such massive problems with a patch? if so I'll have to make sure to play off line.MG310 said:

Well, I just finished the game and I did every challenge mission I could along the way. Took me about 5 hours in total. I enjoyed Nolan North as Cyclops, I really liked customizing my powers, and the text that pops up in the playfield is a neat effect.
This is an average action game and if you want an X-men beat-em-up you'd probably do just as well buying the arcade game for 15 bucks on XBLA. That said, it's fun if you like this sort of game.

I just want X-men Legends 3 or something like it.
Oh jeez... (I hate to keep making a bunch of quick posts like this) but...
Okay so it goes...
Cutscene
Boss Fight
Cutscene
Challenge Room - These are sections where you can fail but the story will keep going. I get killed here and the game starts up the next sequence and lets me run forward a bit, then a save triggers and the loading screen comes up. It dumps me back at the start of that sequence. The 2nd time it didn't do this. Also the Purifiers in the post challenge room are all piled together and twitching in place.
Then - once I beat all of those enemies I notice that the NPC with me is trapped behind one of the electric barriers that blocks you in with the enemies - had to quit out to the menu and reload. Thankfully it loaded back up to the room I was trapped in though with the NPC on the right side of the wall this time.
EDIT - Now that I finished that room another cutscene started and the system locked up. No XMB or anything. Great job SK.
Now it keeps happening - I believe its trying to load up a Colossus model in the custscene and its not happening. I can hear him talk and Surge is having a conversation with him but he doesn't appear. Then the system hard locks. I'm going to try again and take a video of it. Kept happening after deleting/reinstalling the game data..so...guess this is how X-Men Destiny ends for me.

I think I've officially uploaded more media of this version than Activision has.
Really? They have an apparent link/connection to Marvel Comics for this game, and they couldn't get an actual comic book artist to draw the art instead of some guy that apparently illustrates coloring books for a living?
Man, I wasn't expecting much from this game, but some of this is just embarrassing. All these studios closing left and right and somehow SK stays open? They've made 2 games in like 7 years and they both apparently suck. Either they are solely surviving on that Canadian welfare check, or they got some sweet ass deal from MS for Too Human exclusivity.
Well, I like the design for that Aimi girl, and the shadow powers shown off in the vid posted earlier seemed to suit her. Otherwise...I don't have much positive to say. The two male leads are bland and completely forgettable (the girl is the only reason I remembered this game at all before reading this thread), and there's no excuse for N64-level environmental textures showing up in the final product.
Oh hey, IGN finally posted video footage of the Wii version. My crappy phone shots aren't the only proof of its existence on the web anymore.

People aren't saying that the gameplay is shit (unless they've played it), everyone has the right to call a spade a spade.
Besides it's not very often that Neogaf has the chance to shit on the game of the man that publicly mussed about trying to have us shut down, and have his game be crap.
*because SK video games only come out every few years, otherwise this might be a weekly thing.

Well, never let it be said that SK can't make fun of itself. (Via Mitch Dyer, who's been doing a live Twitter review of the game.)

Captain America was a pretty good game. Sure it cribbed so much from Arkham Asylum, but for what it was it was fun and well put together.

Commercials for this are great. Showed two during daily show and colbert report. Start off showing you actual x-men, then cuts to your generic as fuck looking actual characters. Also like the end of commercial reminding you there is a new spider-man game coming. Good way to save on advertising two upcoming shitty games, one commercial for both.
Just started playing. So good!

This is the 360 version, not the PSP version.
I am amazed any publisher works with SK any more, its not like they push game play and player choice so far that its somewhat understandable that their games look like they are running on broken hardware.

Great post, seeing the game look slightly better is a bit of a shame, would have loved to play something that looked that mercilessly bad.eek5 said:
The texture loading must be from a copied DVD or something as the textures clearly do not look like that on the retail copy, while they still dont look amazing when they are loaded, that youtube screen grab is misinformation and I like alot of people feel that people slating the game based on a youtube screen grab is pretty crazy.
Captain N said:
There is no rule that one has to play a game to form an opinion about the way it looks. If the game looks like crap (which it does) then people are free to express that belief. Just like people who praise a game that looks/sounds good even though they haven't played it yet. Nobody's going to ban opinions from the thread just because they make you feel uncomfortable.

The game isn't great but it is playable. I wouldn't pay $60 for it but as a 2 day rental it isn't bad. Building up your character, finding powers, etc. is pretty decent. The combat isn't bad. My main gripes are unskippable cutscenes (even in new game+) and sometimes the camera goes very wrong. It's like we've gone back a generation in terms of how to work with 3rd person cameras.
Anyway I'd probably give it a 7/10 as a rental. 3/10 as a $60 purchase.
It took me 3.5 hrs to beat it on the default difficulty lol D:

People complaining about the writing in a comic book game is like complaining about corn syrup at a Chinese restaurant.

Don't like the random main characters they made up. Why can you not play as the xmen in an xmen game? I think that bothers me too much to get any hype but apparently it's terrible anyhow.
Just played this game last night for about 2 hours. I couldn't get into it. Graphics are early XBOX360 quality at best, you are forced to play with 1 of 3 random creations, gameplay is very repetitive. It felt very sluggish as well, taking quite some time to do an attack while enemies would come at you faster. Overall it just feels like a careless unfinished product that just wanted to be dropped in the fall.
