Loved the first one, this one looks quite interesting. Shame its quite some time before it comes out though.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I loved the first one too, but I know I shouldn't have. If you want highly repetitive, that was what it was, but for some reason it worked. Can't wait for this.

[Kalyx triaD]

Civil War adapted to a game, huh? I kinda like it, but I wonder how the hero vs hero dynamic will translate to a game where all the heroes have to work together in a co-op gameplay system. And will they pull back the damn camera this time?

I didn't watch the vids, but if that's what it's based on I'm now super-hyped.

Wasn't there a Marvel Zombies game planned?

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got some zombie skins for this game. It would make more sense than that shit in SvR (what the fuck were they thinking?).

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Fuck that, it would just be skins in an Activision game. We need a proper Marvel Zombies game.

[Kalyx triaD]

They treat there Ultimate Universe like a bastard child, there's little hope for Zombies. Would be funny, though.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I would normally agree with you about the Marvel Zombies, but if they're interested in the civil war story and pull this off PROPERLY, I will disagree with you.

[Mr Regal]

That could be immense.

[Fryza]

So fucking pumped.

Still need to finish one more achievement on the first one to 100% it.

Wish this came out sooner.

[Funky Fly]

Fuck yeah. Love these shits.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

So excited about this game. We've been playing through the first one again lately. Ready for a new one. Especially the Civil War base.

[Dorkchop]

I'm hoping to own a 360 or PS3 by the end of the year so I might wait to pick it up. I have the first one on the Wii and it's pretty fun even though the motion controls are tacked on. I'm glad they've improved every new game in the series (X-Men Legends included). I started X-Men Legends II a month ago and Marvel Ultimate Alliance is so much better (I loved both X-Men Legends still). I wonder how awesome this will be.

[Kalyx triaD]

I hope the interactive moves are still in. It's funny, I found the Wii controls silly but liked using a thumbstick to control certain action (like Thor's tornado, where I have to yell, "For Asgard!" while doing it).

That does it, buying the damn game again.

[Dorkchop]

The only thing I loved about the Wii controls was rotating the camera by rotating the nunchuck.

[DaveBrawl]

Cant wait for this. Went back and finished beating the first one again a couple weeks ago. The one thing I hope they fix is the mini game on the PS3 where you had to tilt the controller in certain directions to complete a task. It didn't work half the time for me. I liked the PS2 version better where you just hit the coresponding button as it popped up on screen.

[Kalyx triaD]

IGN put up a preview of the game.


You choose a side (either for or against the Registration Act) and stick to it for the whole game. There are multiple endings, of course.
You can choose which superheroes join your side, if you think Iron Fist may have a good reason for joining Iron Man for whatever reason.
Iron Fist confirmed, BTW.
IGN, the pussies that they are, made no mention of whether the cramp camera would be pulled back in any way or why the visuals just barely improve over MUA1. They'll basically hype until review time when they'll surely complain then, not when the devs might do something about it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, IGN's a joke site. Every game they preview will be the best game of all time ever.

[DaveBrawl]

What's the current release date on this by the way?

[Kalyx triaD]

Fall 2009

[G]

Maybe I'll play the first one some more. I think I put maybe 15 minutes into it.

[LuigiD]

I loved the first one.
I have high expectations for this one..even though..didn't the first one end with Galactus getting pissed? I wonder if we will something about that on this one.
thumbs up for the Iron Fist.
I wish they had side missions like X-Men Legends were you took part of famous comic book moments like Juggernaut raiding the mansion. Would be nice to have a mission like that with the zombies..

[OssMan]

The only thing I loved about the Wii controls was rotating the camera by rotating the nunchuck.
Playing this game made me realize that I always hold the nunchuk like 3/4 upright so the camera was always going crazy on me

[Zaiko Rose]

the first one has f=FULL OWNAGE of this thread

[The Destroyer]

Juggernaut is going to be a Gamestop pre-order bonus. I hate those things.

[Kalyx triaD]

God dammit. He's the Juggernaut, bitch!

[Fignuts]

It's nice that they are basing the story around civil war, but just once, I'd like to be able to play all the notable story arcs in marvel history. Kind of like how you pick sagas in dragonball z games.

I can never get into these games, because the story feels like a saturday morning cartoon, where nothing notable ever happens. It feels like filler.

[Funky Fly]

Juggernaut is going to be a Gamestop pre-order bonus. I hate those things.
Word. But...
God dammit. He's the Juggernaut, bitch!

So I'm gonna have to preorder this fucker.

[Fignuts]

Pretty sweet to see the thunderbolts and young avengers in there.

[Funky Fly]

Bullseye FTW

[Triple Naitch]

Not a big comic guy, but I loved the first one.

[Hornicane]

Got the first one right after I moved out of my parents house and was playing it with my brothers, and we still haven't managed to get through it since we can only get together occasionally. Gonna have to get on that shit by September, apparently.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hope we get more X-Men.

[The Destroyer]

Better dig out the old X-Men Legends games if you want more X-Men, since if anything this game will probably have less X-Men in it. They didn't really have a huge involvement in Civil War in the comics.

[Kalyx triaD]

And we're looking at Storm, Wolverine, and Thor - who had about nothing to do with the story line.

[LuigiD]

I think the game will probably have the usual x-men..Cyclops,storm,Wolverine,etc. Maybe gambit due to Wolverine Origins. I hope this game is longer than the first one. I swept through the first one pretty quick and I was left hungry.
The only guys I want are Punisher and Ronin.

[Fignuts]

Glad they've finally decided to pick one universe for the designs. The mix of ultimate and 616 was another reason it felt like filler.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sweet. Robocop is confirmed.

[LuigiD]

I am surprised you guys aren't talking about this yet.
I wasn't so hyped for this game until recently until I got more info.
The roster looks awesome. I am excited for the new comers like Iron Fist, The Goblin, Venom, etc.
http://cdn.uncaged.com/marvel/mua2/images/blog/7530_360_042009003_0019_ra.jpg

I swear..if the Iron Patriot costume is in as an unlockable..I am fucking marking out.

[Funky Fly]

K, I have $70 and change in gamestop credit (got a lot more than I was expecting for my trade ins to get Beatles, woop woop) so I'll probably get this right away.

[DaveBrawl]

Already preordered it to get the Juggernaut last Monday. I have a few things to trade in that will hopefully knock a good chunk out of what's remaining.

[Funky Fly]

Juggy's preorder only? Boooooo

[Jura]

Grenado - A tornado filled with grenades.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I've had it paid for for about 2 weeks, which makes me fill like a bit of a loser haha. Anyway, the Gamestops already have it, they received it yesterday. I'm sure there are a couple of stores breaking streetdate.

[LuigiD]

by the way, the Wii version has 3 special characters.
The Wii version is getting Blade, Cyclops and Psylocke(:D)
No Juggy tho.

[DaveBrawl]

I took my games in to Gamestop to trade to get some credit to help pay off what's left of this, and they game me $7 for TNA Impact, but only $2 for Madden 09. Now I know it's probably because they get so many copies of Madden and the new one is out as well, but I was shocked to get over $.25 for Impact, much less more than Madden. They gave me $5 for SVR 09 and $1.75 for SVR08. Ended up with more than enough to cover the rest so I am just amped for Tuesday.

[LuigiD]

So it looks like the final roster of the game will be:
Captain America, Daredevil, Deadpool, Gambit, Green Goblin, Hulk, Human Torch, Iceman, Invisible Woman, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Jean Grey, Luke Cage, Mister Fantastic, Penance, Songbird, Spider-Man, Storm, Thing, Thor, Venom, Wolverine.

Wii exclusives: Psylocke, Cyclops and Blade.
Xbox 360 and PS3 exclusive: Juggernaut.
Nintendo DS exclusives: She-Hulk and The Sentry.

There is a ton of other characters..however, they haven't been confirmed as playable or what role they will have. Most likely they will be members to recruit for each faction.
Among them there is:
A-Bomb, Bishop, Blacklash, Black Panther, Black Widow, Bullseye, Cable, Cloak And Dagger, Colossus, Equinox, Firestar, Grim Reaper, Hercules, Havok, Justice, Lady Deathstrike, Maria hill, Moonstone, Patriot, Prodigy, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, War Machine and Wonderman.

good line-up in my opinion. Sad not to see Fury's name in the playable list or Ghost Rider.

[DaveBrawl]

That is a great lineup. It could be cool if you could play as Havok, it could bring about some fun times. I kind of miss Magneto though. He was my favorite from X-Men Legends 2 and once you had him powered up he was almost unfair to use. :lol:

But it is nice to see a lot of new characters to use this time.

[Disturbed316]

Cyclops is an exclusie? GAY

[UmbrellaCorporation]

So it looks like the final roster of the game will be:
Captain America, Daredevil, Deadpool, Gambit, Green Goblin, Hulk, Human Torch, Iceman, Invisible Woman, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Jean Grey, Luke Cage, Mister Fantastic, Penance, Songbird, Spider-Man, Storm, Thing, Thor, Venom, Wolverine.

Wii exclusives: Psylocke, Cyclops and Blade.
Xbox 360 and PS3 exclusive: Juggernaut.
Nintendo DS exclusives: She-Hulk and The Sentry.

good line-up in my opinion. Sad not to see Fury's name in the playable list or Ghost Rider.

SPOILERS

Apparently Fury is unlockable as something called RoboFury, and is also the last boss of the game., according to a few people on GameFAQs. Can't confirm yet, but apparently someone has some pictures gonna try to find them.

[LuigiD]

Cyclops is an exclusie? GAY

I am pretty sure the Wii exclusives will probably appear for download in the other consoles sooner or later. Just like it happens with most wii games.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, they're all coming a DLC. They're not crazy.

[Nark Order]

I preorded it a couple months ago and picked it up today. I didn't get my juggernaut code though. Pretty pissed.

[Funky Fly]

I got it for $5. Fucking love that extra trade in credit promo they've got right now. Maybe your code is inside the case, Narc. When I picked mine up, they had the preorder copies separated from the general release copies.

Also, when I got Arkham Asylum at Walmart, they had the DLC code slip packaged inside case then too.

[Nark Order]

It wasn't in the case or anything so I called my gamestop store. Apparently you need to go to www.gamestop.com/mua2vip (http://www.gamestop.com/mua2vip) and put in your receipt code. They'll send the code in e-mail in a day or so. Lame.

[Funky Fly]

Fuck that noise.

[G]

at least you're getting it, since it guarantees you a code then. i don't see what the big fuss is about. prevents gs employees from stealing all the codes for themselves. i prefer this

[Reavant]

so you can never get jug if you didnt preorder the game?

[G]

kind of the point of being a "preorder bonus".




i dunno maybe tho

[G]

DLC for 400 points perhaps

[LuigiD]

The game is good but not as good as the original.
As awesome as Civil War is..the game feels way too short and I don't feel like they do Civil War justice and the final boss is a real lame ass.

[The Genius]

i picked this up hours ago and the guy at gamestop said that since juggernaut was a gamestop exclusive it will never appear as DLC. you also had to use some special code that was on each preorder receipt or something.

[FourFifty]

Your guy is wrong.
XBL says it's a gold membership exclusive dlc.
Either way you look at it, be it XBL or gamestop, they're lying about Juggernaut being exclusive.
FACE!

[Reavant]

not as gay

[Funky Fly]

Your guy is wrong.
XBL says it's a gold membership exclusive dlc.
Either way you look at it, be it XBL or gamestop, they're lying about Juggernaut being exclusive.
FACE!

Yeah, I got the Juggernaut for free today... bitch.

Free for gold members.

[Kalyx triaD]

LOL

[The Genius]

where did you go to DL juggernaut?

[FourFifty]

where did you go to DL juggernaut?

XBL Market Place.
He's free to gold members, and unavailable to silver.

[The Genius]

weird i was there earlier today downloading the 18mb patch so that i could play with others who had juggernaut but didnt see juggernaut himself. ill go check again.

[The Genius]

is it called "juggernaut playable character teaser"?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

They did that last year with the four downloadable characters as well. Just meant you could play with people who had them, but you don't actually get him.

[G]

Well I haven't located one yet but I read stories about just sticking anything in at the receipt website tends to work. But can take hours to get it so I dont know if its successful yet or not.
http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/m...p/default.aspx (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=FKSJxY2VJAk&subid=&offerid=121938.1&type=10&tmpid=2737&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamestop.com%2Fgs%2Flanding%2Fmarvelua2vip%2Fdefault.aspx)

Apparently it goes like this XXXXX/XX-XXX
first 5 is store ID. you can use gamestop store locator to get a store ID
next XX is register #, I hear keep it 01, 02, or 03. And last xxx is sale #, I heard keep it under 200.
So I did 2, we'll see what happens. Might be delayed now because other people tried some bogus info. but im thinking back and wondering how hard it would be to check this since no date is involved, and transaction # cant pass 999 anyways.


Just tried it and it said

Thank you for entering your information.

Your code for VIP access will be emailed to you within two business days. Codes for the Juggernaut unlock will be emailed when the game is released.

We'll see what happens. I don't even have the game.

[Funky Fly]

If it works, send me the code then, plz.

[G]

Nah it's for me for when I do get the game.

[G]

2 different forums are saying this works SO STAY POSITIVE

[Funky Fly]

Yo, for the store ID I see most stores have 3 or 4 digit numbers, but the receipt number has 5 digits. Do I just put a 0 at the beginning or what?

[G]

I guess. That's what my receipt said. I actually just copied what was on my MW2 receipt.

[Dorkchop]

I heard the Wii version is kind of ass. I really liked the first one on Wii, despite the tacked on motion controls. There's a very small chance I might get a PS3. If I do I'll pick it up for that.

[The Genius]

i followed sgand's advice and got the following:

Thank you for entering your information.

Your code for VIP access will be emailed to you within two business days. Codes for the Juggernaut unlock will be emailed when the game is released

I looked at my receipt when i bought it last night and got the 5 digit store number off it no problem, got the register number which is right next to store number. and the transaction number was right next to that. i just hope this works.

[Funky Fly]

Game itself is pretty sweet. Graphics are way better. Gameplay is essentially the same (not a bad thing). Fusion powers are kinda cool, but some of them suck.

[The Destroyer]

For some reason I like the look of the character lineup for this less than the last game. Oh well.

Not out here for another week. :(

[Extreme Angle]

Buddies over tonight :) 4 Player Marvel Co-op and some cans :love:

[LuigiD]

For some reason I like the look of the character lineup for this less than the last game. Oh well.

Not out here for another week. :(

Yeah..me too.
I mean, I welcome the addition of the Thunderbolts without a doubt..but I felt like the past one had a more extensive roster for some reason. I feel like the first one is a better game to begin with. I felt like they could have done way more with this one.

[G]

eh link is dead now

[Funky Fly]

lol probably because like 8 million people are registering for codes

[Funky Fly]

Also, got mine just now :cool:

[G]

lol probably because like 8 million people are registering for codes


Yeah, that's the general consensus on the internets.

[G]

LOL poor guy


I preordered Marvel Alliance 2 and I tried to go to the website to get my code. The website said "Page not found".

I called customer service and the rep. told me that they are out of codes and that is the reason behind the "Page not found". I find it annoying that I preorder the game to find out I am out of luck.

Not sure why activision did not place the codes inside preordered copies of the game or send the retail store codes, instead of VIP ACCESS cards to only hope you get a code.

So I going on a limb here, if anyone has a extra Juggernaut code, could you please email the code at Vladimar@rocketmail.com.

Thanks

[Funky Fly]

He's fucked. UNLESS YOU WANNA HELP HIM, G

[G]

fuck him my codes are on ebay

[Funky Fly]

lol how long until they get yanked?

[Reavant]

Noone answered my question.... is juggernaut not available to the xbox gold members?

[Funky Fly]

Nope. Jut an update so you can play online with people who have the Juggernaut. Did you use that link before it died? Because you coulda got it free, like G and me.

[Reavant]

i dont have the game... im pissed that i will never get to play as him. Not that hes my favorite character or anything but I hate when theres exclusive content and shit. Thats so fucking gay

[Funky Fly]

He'll probably appear as DLC later.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

btw, Juggs is a beast in this game.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, word. Plus he has no pro/anti reg limitations regardless of what team he's on.

[Kalyx triaD]

Gambit charges objects he picks up. :)

[Funky Fly]

I think he had that in the original X-Men Legends too.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't remember that...

[The Destroyer]

Looks like I'll be getting Juggy too, since Amazon UK are doing the pre-order deal as well.

[Funky Fly]

I don't remember that...

I'll have to bust it out and confirm.

[Fignuts]

Ya know, I really feel like they could be doing more with the marvel liscense than a simple hack n slash dungeon crawler type game. That genre just seems a bit underwhelming given the power these characters wield in the source material.

It also doesn't make you feel like you are playing as these characters like other superhero games do. I mean let's face it. This genre limits what you can do with a lot of the characters.

I think other superhero games have proven that one of the best routes to go is the openworld sandbox type of game. Now imagine that with the entire marvel universe instead of just one hero and his rogues.

At this point, for me it's a case of "been there done that" with this series, and I think they need to reboot this, before worrying about their film properties.

[Kalyx triaD]

The game has little choice but to play like the genre it's engine is based.

I think the game is better than ever, I just want a bigger roster. The camera, although better angled, should still pull back more.

[Fignuts]

The game has little choice but to play like the genre it's engine is based.



Obviously. And that's kind of my point. It puts limitations on what you can do. I just don't think this genre suits superheroes as a major ongoing series. It's a neat novelty, to get to play as marvel characters instead of the typical fantasy characters, that these games are known for. But it wears thin after a while, and I just think there is only so far you can go with it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Of course, but if you're cool with the genre (> me) it's not a problem. I like dungeon crawling with four players, and this game is way better than Gauntlet and more interesting to me than that Blizzard game (forgot the name).

I do agree that a game where Superheroes are displayed accurately would be cool, but certain powers will never work together in a game without an engine that limits them in some way. Guilty Gear and Blazblue has characters that play as if they came from different fighting games, but a strict underlying skeleton keeps the games balanced and playable.

Say this Superhero game has Batman and Superman. Batman plays according the AA engine and Superman uses the 'Returns engine. But how these engines present the world and how you interact with them is very different.

The only way to make and Batman and Superman play true to their comic versions, while making them coexist in one game, is to use some sort of governing engine that will most definitely limit how Superman, Batman, or both actually play. It's unavoidable if you want a smooth running, fun experience.

Take the recent Transformers ROTF game (of all things). At anytime during multiplayer somebody is walking/running, driving, hovering, or flying a jet. Now it would be very difficult, I'd say impossible, to have the car transformations drive like a racing game. And then have the jet transformations play like a jet combat game. And have the the running around as a robot be more platform like and so on. All of these methods of play have nothing on games that specialize in them, BUT this was the sacrifice in order to have a game where all these methods of travel can coexist in one game.

Now imagine a game with the wacky superpowers of comic book heroes! Sure you can have Batman play like AA, Superman play like 'Returns, Punisher play like an FPS - but what you'll end up with is a hot mess you're pull your hair out trying to balance. They would have to succumb to a governing engine, and somebody will get the shaft.

So while Marvel UA2 seems to play to the tune of Wolverine and Deadpool, the governing engine will give Storm, Iceman, and other characters who honestly should be able to do more... the shaft. All for the sake of the engine.

[Funky Fly]

What you described with Transformers is basically the True Crime series. So many play modes and all of them are shit.

[Kalyx triaD]

But they work.

[Fignuts]

I definitely agree with you on all points kalyx. You have to have a foundation of gameplay that every hero in the game follows. I just feel that the foundation in this game puts on more limitations than others might.

But I also know these aren't bad games, and a lot of other people enjoy them. It's just what I would do with marvel.

[Reavant]

you know what I wouldnt do with the game?????? MAKE EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

[LuigiD]

Did anyone else feel disappointed with this game?
Don't get me wrong, the game is great..but I feel compared to the first one..I don't feel like much was added. I feel like this might even be a step back to an extent. I feel like the RPG elements have been stripped down instead of improved, the items have been removed,etc. The only thing that I feel like they improved on were the NPC's(which the first one left me hungry for.)
I feel like this game is shorter also. The first one took me about 18-20 hours or so. This one took me about 7 hours(with out unlocking any characters) and it will probably be an additional 7 to play it from the other side.
I also thought the story was pretty predictable. They could had done way better things than what they gave us for a final boss. I don't know..like I said, it's not a bad game..I just personally don't feel like it's better than the first one. Another thing that I thought is missing is lack of variety. The first one took you to a Skrull world, Asgard, Atlantis,hell,etc. In this one..it was pretty limited. A trip to Madripoor or Japan would had been nice..

[Kalyx triaD]

That's an industry wide issue I hope gets addressed soon.

[Kane Knight]

So while Marvel UA2 seems to play to the tune of Wolverine and Deadpool, the governing engine will give Storm, Iceman, and other characters who honestly should be able to do more... the shaft. All for the sake of the engine.

And that's what makes MUA so freaking underwhelming in a lot of people's opinions. Not everyone, mind, or even the majority, but it is why some people are unimpressed. They set the bar low. Really fucking low.

I'm not saying that it would be easy or even possible to make an engine that can handle everyone fairly, but it's like they didn't even really try.

Marvel makes sacrifices to put heroes and villains on relatively equal terms all the time in the comics, but a game where Hindsight Lad and Squirrel Girl have a fighting chance is just wrong on just aboot every level.

[Funky Fly]

Hey, man Squirrel Girl is TOP TIER

[Fignuts]

She DID kick Dr. Doom's ass.

[Crimson]

I haven't tried online yet but it's only co-op from what i've read everywhere so I won't even bother. It woulda been cool if they made some deathmatch type modes .

And yea nothing overwhelming at all that seperates itself from the last game,which should always be the gaming creators' goal I think.

[Funky Fly]

She DID kick Dr. Doom's ass.
Exactly. And Deadpool is scared to death of her.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Plus everything I've heard has the co-op laggy as all fucking hell?

[Funky Fly]

I dunno, I play local co-op anyway. Friends ftw.

[Fryza]

I have yet to encounter lag online.

[Nark Order]

you know what I wouldnt do with the game?????? MAKE EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

How about you pre-order next time you freaking jerk face. !!!

[Funky Fly]

How about you pre-order next time you freaking jerk face. !!!

Preorder from 2 places at once? Because Gamestop/EB had Juggernaut and Best Buy had Hulk. Fucking lame.

[Nark Order]

Wait, you can't unlock hulk in the game? I know you can through cheat codes cause I've done it. There's no other way to unlock him though?

[Nark Order]

http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/sqlgrl1.jpg

[DaveBrawl]

To get Hulk you have to:

Collect all 5 Gamma Regulators

[HeartBreakMan2k]

WHICH you collect before you ever join up with a side

Juggs is the only true exclusive.

[Funky Fly]

I see.

[Reavant]

does it even matter if i preordered it now considering half the people out there stole the codes because they figured out how to hack it?

[Funky Fly]

Probably not. As soon as I'm done the other half of this game, I'm trading it in anyway. May actually be the shortest period I've ever owned a game.

[Crimson]

Yea I don't understand sometimes. Online can make a game that much better n bigger. Why didnt they create a bunch of crazy different online modes like cod and gta? Yea I know they're different games but who cares. They can make extra money with extra download characters/maps like in cod.

[Funky Fly]

The extra characters are coming. Don't think they won't. It'll be just like the last game: 8 new characters long after no one cares about the game anymore.

[Reavant]

hopefully they make a gold edition to the game like they did last time so i dont have to hook it up to the internet and pay for each individually

[The Destroyer]

Hooray, my pre-order code doesn't work, says it's been redeemed already. What a con.

[Disturbed316]

Been playing quite alot of this over the last couple of days, liking it so far. I'd read Civil War before this game but its nice going through and "experiencing" it all. Went with Anti-regisitration when the choice came. Quite liking the fusions, doubt i'll actually do all 270 or whatever it is though.

[Reavant]

Hooray, my pre-order code doesn't work, says it's been redeemed already. What a con.

thats fucking bullshit

[Funky Fly]

They'll probably end up just making Jug a free d/l since 3456723478236 people legit got screwed. Also, I am just finishing up Act 3 on the pro-reg side so all that will be left is to get a few random achievements and then trade this bad boy in for Tekken 6. Anyone know if Tekken 6 has preorder exclusive crap, or can I just wait till release day?

[Disturbed316]

Just completed the anit-reg story, felt the overall ending a complete disappointment, very lack luster, meh.

[LuigiD]

Just completed the anit-reg story, felt the overall ending a complete disappointment, very lack luster, meh.

Storyline wise..I think they did an awful job with this game..they could have really shined.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I dunno, I loved the story. Went Pro-Reg, except for my one and only Anti-Reg playthrough...but reading the comics, I was definitely Pro-Reg. Cap came off like a total dickhead in this one.

[Disturbed316]

They seemed to stop the civil war thing way too soon, could have got alot more out of it. Didn't like the way they brought Cap and Ironman back together, seemed just too sudden.

[DaveBrawl]

They finally put the DLC for this back up on XBox Live. They took it down after New Year's and it's back up for anyone that needs it, such as myself for putting off getting it till I got around to playing, until the end of this year. So anyone that wants to dump 160 MS points can get Juggs now and 800 more for the other 5 guys. I guess PSN will be up soon, or may be up now I haven't checked it.
