VR.
Like-gate is the dark souls-lite of Citizen Kane conflations
Put all three of those together and you have yourself a game
Ah yes, I remember when they were talking about VR like it was going to be the second coming of Jesus.
Man, they were all sold on VR. I guess I would've had the same affect...had it not been for the price point that the Oculus and Vive had. And if they made more spots available in stores for people to try it out.
Augmented Reality seems to be the wave of the future now. VR is still kicking too, but it's fallen away from mattering even a little in video games. There's still a little bit of opportunity for VR, but man oh man did GB talk it up a whooooooolle lot in 2015.

Shocked they haven't done a vr rodeo for Lone Echo, it's a system seller.
Or Wilson's Heart which is neat. Lot of big games ignored.
Frank West looks like an abomination.

unfinished games are so hot right now
This, so much, especially because it was way way too easy to perma-kill. Whenever someone praises the Nemesis system I wish I had the experience they did because I did most of the available side content before continuing the story as I played and it made me so strong that I never died unless I intended to and I would always perma-kill orcs instead of having them come back.
I didn't even recognize the name of my supposed nemesis at the end.

MvC:I is so frustrating to me, because it looks like it's a decent fighting game, and I appreciate anything that's trying to make any franchise (especially after MvC3) more accessible to new or existing players.
But, I just can't feel anything for it. Between the lack of enjoyable presentation (again, a subjective thing) and the obvious DLC roadmap (which makes me want to wait a year or two) I just can't get excited about it.

I don't understand any of the praise for RE7. After the first 2 or 3 hours of the game the family stops chasing you and it becomes a terrible shooter with LITERALLY ONE ENEMY TYPE. The tone is all over the place with the Saw segment being particularly suspect.
It's a bad horror game, a bad shooter and all it has going for it is the presentation.

The level of concern over whether gamers still wanted consoles.

what'd he say? I stepped away
Are you talking about Disney? I don't think they're putting any money into this game.

There's an industry full of anime fighters, and on the other end the likes of MK and Injustice does the realistic style well enough. It's totally okay that MvC:I occupies a space in between those two extremes.

the MvCI graphics complaint wouldnt be as valid if it wasn't for the fact that fighting games look like this now
vs a game being co-funded by the biggest entertainment company in the world
There's also the fact that 90% of the roster are 99% identical to what was in UMVC3, but there are way less fighters. The mechanical changes seem fun, but everything else about it just seems so cheap. They're charging full price for a game that's mostly reused assets.
If the space in between is off-model designs and relatively flat presentation (especially for a crossover game), I think the extremes are the place to be.

I think the first half of the game is fantastic. Wonderful dense, nasty ass atmosphere with great pacing. The game starts to falter after you get done with

maybe it's been improved but Cpt. Marvel's head-face proportions look shockingly bad
also the X-Men are the only Marvel characters I care about so the whole game is a wash to me anyway

MvC pulls from a comic book/cartoony style and I don't think that's wildly different enough from the cartooniness of anime to give it a pass.
I think the flat presentation is actually fairly representative of the current state of Capcom's fighters and Marvel's MCU focus, which save for a couple films has a rather consistently flat style. So in a way it's the perfect crossover of those two universes.
I dunno, I think it looks fine.

Likewise. I think the tagging in at any point and gem system will be pretty cool. Plus, Ghost Rider doesn't seem ass in this version so the hundreds of hours I spent with him might finally pay off!
MvCI is brand new.

There was a certain charm to the early Marvel/Xmen/MvC games in seeing these characters in a Capcom/Japanese art style, accompanied by random funky jazz tunes. All of that is lost with this new game. It just looks so safe and devoid of any personality.
Everything's coming up 90's!

I wish there was a game that was nothing but Destiny styled raids. Figuring the mechanics out and coordinating with the rest of your team to accomplish a difficult task feels so rewarding. There shouldn't need to be such a huge grind to get to that point.
just like them marvel movies
