I can't stop myself from looking at these walkthroughs, everything he says is funny as heck and comes out of nowhere. Deadpool is actually a pretty cool hero... or anti-hero whatever he is.
Has anyone seen the trophies for this game?

Okay that's it. I'm getting this game. This looks like insane fun. Deadpool Bang Babes Mayhem is my new life anthem.

Not really. It shows off bits and pieces of the game, as all trailers do, but it doesn't show a lot of punchlines. Watching walkthrough videos have spoiled me, though.
Exactly. I like how you can interact with all that stuff in his room and the randomness of what he does is just too good.

This and Company of Heroes 2 come out tomorrow. I wonder if I should give this a shot.
Haha, that's pretty funny.
The new trailer convinced me to go day one, I'm down for some dumb fun.

Yeah, it's been a long time since a game made me laugh. Should be in for a treat with this title.

Yeah, looks like it's 5 hours long. I found two full playthroughs (one of them 25 parts at around 12 minutes each and the other one 20 parts at around 15 minutes each) both equaling 5 hours.

I think there's something called Infinite Mode or some equivalent to DMC challenge towers.
And they're asking 50 euros for it in Holland.. lol.
Launch trailer really made me want it too, but I'll get it when it's like 10..
you should be able to grab it tonight since they are updating psn tonight due to tomorrow's maintenance.
It's gonna be a slow night at work. Get on that, Slasher.
Ah good. I like short games these days. Will finish it quickly and then do what the platinum trophy tells me.

This reminds me of what a game would be like if western devs tried to do a Suda 51.

So this game MUST be very lean on the total release numbers. Some of our local stores were not getting it in at all. After 6 hours...here is my impression so far.
Fun, funny and frantic. Laugh out loud funny at times. I am not aware of exactly what makes up Deadpool as a comic book character but as a game. Gawd damn this has some fun fighting. First level is dump though. Looking and feeling. After that it really opens up.
I am loving the upgrade system though it can be a bit confusing as to if something is superseded by another upgrade. One particular ability is the ability to teleport which is great but it can leave you in a bind sometimes.
Variety. Oh man. The shit you do in this game.
I will post my review tonight after I beat it and edit the footage.

There is a ton of variety like 2d scrolling levels and so forth and even...some kind of wigged out boat battle. The humour is crude but god damn if these guys didn't handle it well. I mean its crude as hell but its in just the right spots for a completely insane character to have them. I also feel like I know more about this character than most superheroes. Not sure if why but maybe its because you spend so much time dealing with him being just weird and insane.
Lots of singing hahahaha. I am digging the shit out of it.
But the kicker is, its all backed by a pretty fun combat system. I mean its not perfect but there are tons of combos and different weapons. Crowd control is somewhat easy as well. Not feeling ripped off at all.

You bet. I am a bit sad as I really do think this deserves a bigger release but 4 of our stores aren't even getting a single copy. And then I didn't know that I guess they are not even in business much anymore(studio). Sad times.
This is getting a PC release?!? Ok that is better news MUCH better. Steam?

Well I should have paid attention. I wouldn't have driven all over shit and shinola to find it. I could have just VPN'ed Steam. Ah who cares. I beat it and will post a review...whenever I get done with the editing.
question for you deadpool comic fans.
which is better, deadpool max or deadpool dead presidents (posehn i think). i got a credit with my amazon preorder that i can use on dead presidents. but i'm thinking i may start with deadpool max first. i saw some early deadpool (i think it's early) but it is drawn by rob liefeld and i can't stand his shit. so, is dead presidents any good. i have heard max is good but haven't heard much about dead presidents.

Really conflicted on this game, I'm glad it's going for $50 instead of $60 but that's still too much. It's unfortunate the industry only really has the $10-$20 downloadable titles and the $50-$60 retail titles for console games, Deadpool seems like one of those perfect mid-tier games that would find itself at home at around $30 but I'm not sure if the game as it stands has enough to warrant an expensive purchase. (combat looks very mediocre and the game seems to last only 5 hours from what I've seen)
Will definitely see if I can get a rental copy tomorrow to at least play it, or at the very least wait for a sale where the price becomes more affordable.

It's $37 at Toys R Us, if that helps.
If you're willing to get a PC edition it's only $40 on Steam.

just played the pc version and omg this game is hilarious. The graphics and gameplay are awesome too. this is a really good game.
the only thing I really dont like so far is the controls (although you can remap them).
the teleport key is b and the interact button is u and its annoying to hit those since they're so far away from wasd. also it seems weird to me that the attack buttons are q and e.
I had never even heard of deadpool before this game but I'm really interested in him now.

Garbage. I'm well above the rec, but it's choppy and unwieldy. That isn't to say, you can play it on a toaster, but it won't be pretty.

I think my game timer was around 6.5-7.5 hours on medium difficulty.
Also when are you doing your stream? I can't wait to see your reactions to some of this shit

Ohhh ok... good
Well I admit I am not as good as many players I bet. There are also some issues I personally had with a couple jumps and a couple fights that I ended up repeating. I am going to toss my review up soon. It will be pretty rough but will give people an idea of what they will get.
I will be watching your stream man. I can't wait to see your reactions.
How does that preorder credit work, anyway? I preordered and haven't heard anything them from them about it since I initially did it. Got my codes for the covers and the wallpapers, but nothing else.
Same here, downsampling from 1440p with a single gtx580 paired with a i7 920 @ 4.2ghz, game is not pushing out my GPU, and frame rate hovers between 57 and 60 fps for no reason (same result with 1080p).

I can mirror that there are occasional FPS issues with the console version. Mostly...from what I can tell, on the console, its based on smoke effects particularly and primarily. We are talking very quick drops of a couple frames at most. In fact I though it was incoming live messages or my video recorder it was so momentary.
