It's okay. The only reason it's not terrible to me is because it knows what it is. It wasn't trying to be game of the year it knew that it was an okay licensed game.

Yeah, gameplay is repetitive as all hell. But most cameos (Mr. Sinister, Vertigo, Cable, Death) were better than they had any right to be tbh. Nailed the tone.

Honestly, Matt was kind of being a dick. Obviously he wasn't the intended audience for this game. It's not a fanboy game, but for a little kid that likes Xmen, this is a decent intro to the characters.
The not dying and not having the little girl killed were for the Tweens and children who'll play this because they're interested in Xmen. It's serviceable for a gateway game.

It's even more of a fanboy game than Matt is, actually. I believe the game justifies the gene with some U-Men bullshit. His hatred of Silicon Knights blinds him to other things, though.

A souls game anime made by the guys who do AoT would be pretty ace.

The plot of Souls is so straightforward it'd be kinda bland, but fuck me if I wouldn't watch the SHIT out of that. If they stayed true to how depressing the Souls games are? Aww shit.

I'm admittedly not an expert, but from what I saw isn't the game mostly about fighting Neo-Nazis and not colorful cartoonish X-Men villains like Apocalypse*? I don't think the target audience here was actually as young as you're imagining.
See also: Douchey McSports and Copman, your amazing protagonists. I do like that Douchey is just pre-beastorization Beast ripped off to masquerade as a new character design, though. Letterman jacket and everything, just laming it up.
*Yeah, I know Apocalypse is actually pretty dire, but look at that goofy-ass blue motherfucker. Kids love it.

Vignettes of people going hollow.

I think a live action movie could potentially be cool but I know they'd fuck it up.
That actually sounds pretty great. Something like Kino's Journey except the protag is just someone on the verge of going hollow meeting the likes of the various characters like Solaire and Logan and seeing the sights until
they go hollow themselves, just before they reach either kiln

That would be perfect holy shit. Each 'episode' focusing on one character like Bokurano. Fucking perfect.
This would be fantastic to see with a big budget, but I can't imagine them being able to get the details in or a good enough plot to really sell it as a blockbuster. It'd have to be a tour of world, and the game does that better, sorta, since you get to explore it yourself and experience the atmosphere.
Man I love Dark Souls. It feels like walking around in a book.
E_Darkness, you and everyone else in this thread have amazing taste.

This made me realize that I really don't read much manga. Anyways, here's my shitty list.
- Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
- Attack on Titan
- Haikyuu!!
- Dragon Ball
- Masturbation Master Kurosawa (I'm not kidding)
Edit: Also Bokurano which I am in the midst of reading.

I only read it like 3 days ago because of the GAF thread "Get someone into a manga with just one page" so I'm being biased. Basically it's a manga based on a 2chan story. It's somewhat typical loner-romance-mess.
I got a feel from it though so leave me alone.
Spoilers:
It did have hilarious Jojo references though.

I really don't know what direction the game was going. Yes there were flaws, but I've seen much worse spinoff games(is it a spinoff right?)
What a mysterious Jogo.

I rented X-men Destiny and it played like shit. Even if we're talking about the use of cameos, the game felt so terrible. I'd much rather recommend one of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games or X-men Legends for kids.
Kids deserve semi-decent combat.
I never did a list of my favorite games so here it is:
And when it comes to manga I really haven't read much. In fact all I've read is Jojo and Berserk, actually I just caught with Jojo today.
Bayonetta
MGS3
Shadow of the Colossus
Persona 4
DMC4
Chrono Trigger
Xenoblade Chronicles
Fallout NV

I appreciate that all you nerds either had Earthbound or Chrono Trigger, two very special RPGs in my heart of hearts.
You frienders are something special. I mean it!
;_;
Comparatively, yeah those are much more enjoyable games. But I could see Xmen Destiny being one of those games that some kids hold a special attachment to, whether it's the art style or the use of the Xmen license.

Chrono Tigger is tied the best JRPG of all time with Persona 4 to me. So good

He's just being Tsundere. Seriously though he's just trying to argue mostly in case someone listening disagrees. He does the devil's advocate thing, I can kinda relate.
I guess that's fair. It wasn't so bad that a kid would hate it, for sure. (And I regretted not putting Paper Mario or Chrono Trigger on my list)

I feel like such a pleb for not having played Earthbound and not being super hyped for Chrono trigger. I mean It's great and all but not in my top 5

I never played Earthbound, but seeing all the love it gets it will be one of the first things I'll buy when I get a WiiU.
People moved on to manga now? Jeez I need to step up my game.
Screw orders because I love them all (and screw spoiler tags because now I'm being lazy)
Berserk
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (especially Steel Ball Run)
Claymore
Vagabond
Rurouni Kenshin
I guess the first two are givens to be part of the best friend fandom.

First earthbound, then mother 1, then mother 3.
I think I still have my OG cartridge still at my parents home with the big box and the dumb guidebook that came with the game.
My very first RPG ever. ;_;
I love that little gem of the SNES library.

No, play Shin Megami Tensei games instead.
The way I see it, saying it's "not even that bad" is an understatement. It was fantastic, possibly the best in the series.
