SInce this is my first lego game can anyone tell me:
Whats those gold bricks for that show up in the stats when you complete a level? Is there only 1 per level?
Should I also be looking everywhere in each level for secrets and bonus stuff?
Whats the difference with those other color lego coin things? Just different ammounts?
Can you remove the HUD on the PC version? and that player 2 press ok thing?
I think I remember some other thing poping up at the end of a level ummm I unlocked it but cant remember the name.

Yes, last lego I played was lego pirates but theres usually always secrets to find and when going through the levels be sure to smash as much as you can to collect all the coins until the gold coin bar is flashing, on lego pirates when you did that you got something called true pirate I think which at the end of the level awards you 1 gold brick I think
You use them to unlock Deadpool mini stages which you use to unlock Cheats and additional characters
Not on the first run, no. Because you're going to have to go back in free play mode to get everything because free play lets you use characters that can access things that you can't access with the preset story characters.
Yes Purple>Blue>Gold>Silver
No
Gold bricks are awarded for completing certain challenges in the levels and in the open world, collecting them allows you to access bonus levels scattered around the open world.
You should be hunting around in the levels for stuff, especially in free play mode when you can use the abilities of other characters to get to new areas you couldn't reach in story mode. Every level has 10 mini kit pieces (looks like a small gas tank with tiles going through it) which are hidden in either hard to reach places or awarded for doing various things within the level like destroying a certain number of objects (three blue postboxes in the first level for example). There's also Stan Lee in peril in each level who you can rescue, and Deadpool is hidden away in each level too. Most of these you won't get on the first time through a level though.
The different colours of studs are worth different amounts, silver are worth 10 studs, gold are worth 100, blue are 1000 and purple are 10,000. Collecting enough of them in a level to fill the bar at the top (different amount for each level) gets you a "True Believer" award and a gold brick.
Don't think you can remove the HUD in the PC version, sorry!
Hope that helps, there's probably a few more detailed guides and stuff out there but this is the basics.

I'm a bit confused about how the red bricks work. I know I have to go buy the ones I've found in Deadpool's room, but where do I find the actual bricks themselves? Are they scattered through the regular levels, or are they in the bonus levels that are unlocked through gold bricks? And where do I go to begin said bonus missions?

Made it to the battle against Sabertooth. After finishing Lego LoTR just yesterday, this is so much more fun. My wife and I are both really enjoying it so far.
Only in Bonus levels unlocked through gold bricks. You have to find them throughout the city. You will have to build the entrance to them which is usually brown/beige bricks which you'll see shaking in front of a building before you can enter. Often to get the red brick you'll have to go back into those in free play (you can choose free play by just selecting them on the map, you don't have to go all the way to the Helicarrier) because you won't have the requisite heroes/powers to grab them.
For some people.
Apparently it could be downloaded and played for a few hours when it first appeared for purchase on Steam. Then it was locked, but later unlocked for those people who had logged time in the game. Now they are free to play the game while the rest of us have to wait until November 15th, or so it seems.
Unfair and annoying to be honest.
Anyone have an answer to this question at all? Full screen makes me dizzy...
I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm enjoying this game a lot less than I have previous games in the Lego franchise. I've played almost all of the games except for Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean. The only other Lego game I didn't care for that I played was Harry Potter.
My favorite Lego games are Batman/Batman 2 so I figured I would absolutely love this one, but it just isn't holding my attention. It may be because I know very little about Marvel Superheroes besides what I have seen in the movies. I've never read any comics so I'm sure some of the in jokes are going right over my head. I don't think that should matter if a game is done properly. It shouldn't have to appeal to just a niche audience.
I'm about half way through the story mode. Maybe things will pick up once I have unlocked all the characters, but right now I'm just not having a lot of fun. There seems to be more hand holding in this one. Of course there has always been a little hand holding since this is a game geared towards children, but it seems more excessive this time around.

My credit showed up in email the morning after I got the email that it had shipped.

I was running around the city in free roam, unlocking random things, and I happened to get Nova completely by accident. He's pretty awesome.
Ah, alright, thanks. Wow, some of these things require a lot of gold bricks to open.

I was debating between this game and Assassin's Creed next week, but I think I'm going to go with this one. I bought it for my nephew yesterday and got to play a bit; It was a lot of fun. I'm pretty excited to pick it up tomorrow.

I'm shocked that they didn't give any of the "girlfriends" powers: Gwen turning into Carnage, MJ with spider abilities, etc.
And does anyone know if you can get a magnetic character early? From Deadpool's Room it looks like you don't get Magneto until the game is almost over. Sucks
Magneto's the only magnetic character. They did that on purpose.
Polaris can too, but you don't unlock her until after/same time as Magneto. I think Stan Lee would be able to as well, but again, that's like the last content in the game to get.

Is it possible to save at will in the open world or is it like Batman where you have to unlock stuff in order to save.
They did a similar thing in LEGO Harry Potter, where you needed Voldemort/Dark Magic to do certain things but didn't get him until you'd beaten the game. It annoyed me at the time, but I don't mind it so much now. Just means I have a reason to go through the game again once I've beaten the story, rather than do all the free play stuff partway through the game.

I had the same issue with Lego Batman 2. Whats the point of unlocking no super versions of characters?

Or for that matter people that will never be used? But then, that's probably why the "beat a level with a civilian" challenge exists.
Speaking of dumb challenges, there's one that you have to beat a level without getting hurt AND you can't hurt anyone but the security constantly shoots each other so what the hell?
I did. I got it fast enough to use it on Batman and get that $10 as well.

The game is auto saving whenever you do stuff. When you exit via the start menu, it also saves.
There are over 150 characters in the game, they don't reasonably expect you to use everyone. Characters like Aunt May and stuff are there for kids to recognize and play as when they identify with them in the movies. Same reason the Guardians are in the game, and Ultimate Electro. Knowing how Marvel handles its properties, it's almost guaranteed they were required to put those characters in.
I think expecting them to have super forms is pretty unreasonable, and not shocking at all. It'd confuse kids, and this game has enough fanservice in it already for it to be an issue. There has to be a line drawn somewhere before you invite too much of the convolution of comic book storylines in there as well or have stuff like an Iron Man alt on roller skates. Notice how every characterization sticks closer to tradition too, it's definitely not a coincidence considering their target audience. It's a miracle that they've even gone this far with the fanservice.

Still working my way through the Vita version. Such a fun experience.

Yeah, I'm at 87.7% complete. Some of the trophies seem repetitive, such as the "Walk past Deadpool as Deadpool" considering that level has a "Walk past Deadpool as Deadpool" gold brick.
I still hate the fact I have to go into a level and then exit as soon as I figure out I picked the wrong character. "Oh, this is a level with silver doors? Shit, I need Iron Man. Great, this one has blue vents, gotta get Mr. Fantastic." I'm still enjoying it for what it is and I love breaking the game - get the invulnerable red brick and swing/fly through levels to beat all of timed missions in seconds - though sometimes the timer is so close maybe they expect that.
The invulnerable brick answers my question I had about beating levels as civilians for gold bricks...but for some reason it won't give me my "Beat Doc Ock as Aunt May" and I've done that level at least three times as Aunt May. It popped all of the other ones even when it was active.

Hmm? You can hold Y (or Triangle I guess?) to switch to any character you've unlocked in Free Play. Same input as transformations, but while a character is transforming you can just hold it again to make the character grid pop up if it didn't the first time.

With that Target B2G1 sale going on at launch, I was going to pick up AC4 as my freebie for the PS4 but reading this thread, this is looking like more my style. I want a fun co-op game that I can play when my nephew comes over too.
Flying is pretty bad in this game TBH. After countless hours I've put into the game, I've finally got a hold of it, but it seems pretty complicated especially for kids and the aerial races are ridiculous. The important thing to note is if you want to fly up pretty fast, hold A and then start moving forward which will arc your character upwards, as opposed to just staying in one spot and holding A to rise. Makes scaling buildings 100 times easier. Also while flying you can tap A twice to go super fast which makes city navigation much easier.
3 different flight states, and I'm not even sure how to trigger the 45 degree angle rise, it just happens randomly sometimes.

I believe he's referring to the Vita version. We have no character grid and have to exit a level to bring in the right hero.

what he said. ^^
The digital version for Wii U and 3ds comes out today, and I think the 3ds demo is available today as well.
Kind of stuck, my friend and son were playing the other day and quit at the beginning of a mission, when i load it goes back into the city with no objective marker. I think its the second Black Widow/Hawkeye mission, after

Just need the location. Thanks!
EDIT: Never mind, it spawns me right in front of where i needed to be, haha. I had to look it up on youtube.

beating Mandarin above Stark Tower.
I remember them doing the part where Fury tells them to go to the Financial District, then tells them to open a door that were "the wrong coordinates", then I don't know where they went after that to start the actual mission.

I'm doing cleanup on challenges (Vita/3DS version) and there's one that seems impossible. It's on Asteroid M: The Bridge and it's the stud challenge. I can get 24,050 and I need 25,000. I go through what I feel is the entire level and defeat all of the enemies and beat up all the blocks and guns and walls and yet I'm 950 studs short every time. Is there a place I don't know about beyond the hallway you need to have the Human torch in your party to get to? It's literall the last thing I need to do before I get platinum.
EDIT: figured it out: combos. lots and lots of combos.

That is actually referring to Stark tower. It should be relatively easy to find after a little flying around.
Post-credits mission: Stark Tower (Should be Avengers logo "A" on the map)
Bonus level: Liberty Island (Should be a

Nah, I haven't. TBH I'm not interested in a LEGO game without another property attached to it. The mash up is what makes it charming for me.
I think that it's a really good game outright though. Design wise it's much more like non-Undercover games than Undercover but the same concepts are there throughout. I think Undercover was made by a different team though, so you'll see less overlap, but then again I can't necessarily think of anything they did with Undercover gameplay or featurewise from what I've seen that isn't in some form in LEGO Marvel.
Like others have said in this thread, it's probably going to be on sale soon, GameStop already has it listed for their Black Friday sale, so you could always wait.

Just checked out the 3DS demo and it was surprisingly fun. I'll pick up the Vita DD when the price drops to $20 or below.
Those with the Vita version, is the flying the same? Swipe up and swipe down? Or is there a way to go about that with the buttons?

I'm sure you can get Bellatrix in one of the first levels once you've got the right character abilities to reach her.
