Hope to hear nice things about Marvel.

I forecast:

"Why the hell is Amaterasu in this? What the hell is Dormammu? Where's Ken?"

"Too hard. Looks dumb."

All with random quips from Brad about how uninterested he is.

That seemed pretty much to be how the Quick Look went. Lots of Brad saying "WHAT IS GOING ON."

How does Brad understand the complex nuances of Starcraft 2 but sounds baffled by the ongoings of a crazy fighting game or the awesomeness of why ME2 deserved to be GOTY last year? (I know it's old news but really Brad, how can you give more credit to an awesome DLC to a mediocre game but deny ME2 because you didn't like the final boss because it seemed "like an obvious choice".)

That's why I love the Giantbomb crew. It's not a hod podge crew of single minded people but cool guys who have a common bond through their friendship but don't necessarily like all the same things.

Going by the quick look I think Brad likes MvC3. It's just that he'd rather watch someone else play than play it himself. I say the same thing about Starcraft.

Apparently the picture was provided by Jellyvision's own Mike Builder.
 
10 years ago, I would have spent blood and sweat to just get an expensive import copy of MVC3...now I'm ready to just wait a year and snag whatever upgraded version releases with all DLC for a reduced price. If at all.

The discussion really hit home with me with their frustrations with the design.
 
Had to stop listening to this podcast a while back, Ryan needs to tone it down a few notches.

That constant giggle throughout the show would drive me insane, it sounds like a nervous tic to me.

I'm totally with Jeff on MvC3. The character rooster doesn't appeal to me at all. It also just looks a bit too fast and complex.
Jeff doesn't like something about a Vs. game? I'm shocked and appalled.

Well I guess he may not be their biggest fan. Still I've enjoyed MvC1/2, Tatsunoko, and think CvSNK 2 is one of the best fighting games ever made. Yet my interests in 3 has been decreasing since the first announcement. I don't really like the look, the roster is'nt appealing( though it probably was never going to be), and yes the gameplay looks a bit too much for me. I'm sure it's a good game and will eventually get it, just not at $60.

Just curious, if you enjoyed MvC1/2 how could you not like the roster in 3? Were your favorites removed or something?

Game looks beautiful in motion.

I don't understand how the gameplay could be 'too much' for someone who played 2.

My characters in 1 and 2 are:

Gambit
Psylocke
Sakura
Jin
Jill(I know she will be in 3)
Rogue
Strider

Sure I never expected 3 to have all my favorite Capcom or Marvel characters. Nor did I expect them to have all of the characters from 1 and 2. I'm not unrealistic. But instead of Trish how about Lady? I like Nero as well. How about someone from Onimusha? Leon is a lot cooler then Cris if you ask me. Is Frank West in 3? I don't know man, I still want the game and I do like some of the cast, but I just don't feel the need to buy it right now. Also I haven't actually seen the game right in front of me. When I do, maybe things will be different.

Well truth be told, I'm not exactly good at the Versus games outside of Capcom vs SNK 2.
