I share this sentiment. Since he had spoken very positively of Spiderman: Friend or Foe, I don't think I'll buy this game upon his recommendation.Casual Shinji said:

No offense, but are you sure he's being legit?Keane Ng said:
Maybe the industry is just pushing him to promote the game for brownie points?
They did the same with Megan Fox for The Transformers Game [http://www.giantbomb.com/megan-fox-talks-transformers-rotf/17-920/]...I had hopes she might have been a real gamer, but the more you listen, the more it sounds like she is just reading off of cue-cards...(and that delay between saying "online....multiplayer")
You left out "Nuff Said/Sed" but I won't hold it against you.Keane Ng said:
Although saying it's hard to impress the man who made it all.
He was some-what involved in X-men 3 and didn't think to have his say?
Just a simple "what the hell? You killed CYCLOPS?! I mean sure alot of characters die and come back in X-men but Cyclops?!" would've sufficed.
I'm still not as interested in this game as I feel I should be yet.
Now then after actually reading Civil War, (btw I fucking hate Iron-man after everything he did in that series...) I shall side with Cap. also this game seems like a good idea
Stan might not be a gamer, being 86, but he does keep up with a lot of stuff and he always has some good insight into things and always likes new stuffhansari said:
he's called The Man for a reason cause Stan is freaking awesome
The only reason it's those two guys is because Cap led the resistance and Iron Man was the face of superheros in the government at the time, being head of SHIELD and all.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I'm siding with the Cap. While he can be thick at times, and the creators KEEP PITTING HIM AGAINST NAZIS, the character has some sort of appeal to me that Iron Man doesn't in the Civil War arc. IM strikes me as being remarkably wussy throughout the Civil War: at least Cap stuck to his convictions.
The Idea of seeing superheros kill and fight each other is both awesome, and in the same way, I feel as if my soul is slowly crying itself to death. why fight each other when you can all just pummel that big gay russian from punisher? also, im pretty sure captain america bit the dust...it sucks ot having read a single comic in ten years, everything's changed... I feel so old. Stan lee old.
Iron Man wasn't likable in the movie...Tony Stark was likable in the movie. Thats my biggest gripe with the Iron Man movie. The alter ego of Tony Stark was actually more boring than Tony Stark himself. It's suppose to be the other way around! I went to see Iron Man but the correct title should have been TONY STARK: The drunk, ironic, sarcastic guy that likes to dress up as Iron Man at somepoint in the movie.MalevolentJim said:
But meh. Batman>Everyone.
Im more of a DC fan but this game looks fun.
Between the cap and iron man, id pick cap
off topic a little, but i think it would be cool if every character has a marvel zombie second skin, unlockable somehow. That would be a nice touch.

If it's really sticking so close to Civil War, then Spidey will be on Iron Mans side (don't quote me on this, I haven't read the comic). I couldn't see the guy heading up a whole group anyway.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Anyhow, I'm not petically excited for this game to be honest, and this is coming from a comic book nerd.
Agreed.ChromeAlchemist said:
I've heard rumors that the Punisher is going to be on this game. Anyone know if this is true?
YOU did not like it, but it does not make it a bad game. Also even if it was, does that mean that no one should be allowed to try again? Alot of the faults of the first are being dealt with. The first was a fun game, especially to play with friends. 2 will be even better now, since online and offline are now mixed, so you can have 2 on one xbox play with 2 others on a different xbox online, and any mixes.nova18 said:I don't want to be the one to bring this up but erm... Ultimate Alliance 1?
It really wasn't that good.
Poor Stan, why cant he just enjoy his billions of dollars in peace

I never said bad.
Who said bad.
I just said it wasnt THAT good.
Mostly because no-one was actually discussing the game itself.
All Im doing is promoting a discussion about the original game and how they should improve it.
Which I hope they do because despite being an average game, it was kind of enjoyable.
Well, Stan Lee isn't going to be promoted saying anything bad about the product. Also after all the fights with Marvel the fact that he's back, seems to imply he's going to be getting a cut of the action from their products, and given that this game features characters he was involved with, he has a financial stake in the game.
I'm not saying what he's saying is wrong, just that the interview is pretty much what you'd expect, and he basically IS acting as part of the advertising as is mentioned. No real objection there though.
Truthfully though, I am seriously hoping they will be giving Iron Man's side a better (and less political/Bush bashing) treatment in this game. See, as things were ramping up part of the whole point was that neither side was wrong. As the event got going it turned into a political analogy and I didn't care much for that.
Then again, a lot of it comes down to the fact that I tend to like the characters tied to the pro-registration side (Iron Man, Songbird, etc...) better than a lot of the guys on the Anti-Registration side (though there are exceptions like Cap himself, and Iron Fist).

As far as the game being a succesor to games like Double Dragon, not really. So far all the games in this series (X-men legends 1 and 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance) were heavily inspired by games like Diablo. I'll also be blunt in saying that super abillities were more of a focus than the hand to hand (which was involved, but generally speaking only something your support characters did much, and something to fall back on if you ran low on energy).
Truthfully the only real "old school brawlers" I'm familiar with right now that carry on the Double Dragon tradition are things like the "Watchmen" games, and of course "Unbound Saga". Most of the ones availible out there are remakes (like Turtles In Time) rather than new properties.

Perhaps it's just the idea of the Alliance. I got bored of real world politic translations in Nightmares of Future Past and the apartheid elements of Superhero comics have been done to death recently; especially the hammering of "APARTHEID IS WRONG IN ALL CASES!".
Perhaps if that had gone through earlier America wouldn't have created the Super soldier program, a struggling photographer wouldn't have gone to a science lab and a young Magnus Lesher wasn't tattooed with a number.
Then again, had that been the case, Red Skull and Latvia would have crushed the decadent west.
