LEGO Marvel Super Heroes |OT| Cosmic Brick Your Console

This is what my screen looks like (PC version):


I found someone else having the same problem, and they disabled an HID device to get rid of the overlay. Unfortunately, that's not working for me. Anyone have any advice? I'm using MiJ for my DS3, but the rest of the stuff I have plugged in is pretty standard.

lol, this game supports virtual buttons? Neat!

For anyone playing on 360 (it's not out here yet) can you say whether they allow invert y axis yet? Or at least respect the default desktop setting? Previous games forced it one way which was highly annoying.

Anyone? If someone could just quickly check options, they'll win a no-prize :)
 
This game is kinda hard on 3DS! I'm sorta baffled that they added death to the game. I'm stuck on a level in Stark Tower, where you have to fight some missile turrets that surround a center console you're also trying to bust up. When you attack the center console it becomes electrified and I fall to my death down a hole.

Never has a Lego game been this difficult. Not sure if I'm enjoying that aspect or not.

Some of the Multi-Challenges are straight-up hard. The one where you have to kill the Venom blobs, the hazmat guy, AND beat the level within time took me awhile. The hardest part was the last blob since you have to kill a whole group of guys before it will spawn. I think I got it with 1 second remaining.

It's been so long since I've gotten to play a game where I control all of the Fantastic Four.
Holding out for the PS4 version. Here's hoping for 1080p/60 at PC-equivalent "max settings".

I'm playing on PC maxed out, and my brother's playing on 360. I honestly don't see that big of a difference.
 
Never played a lego game and this is a lot of fun. I have no idea what the bits, screw thing(?), canister(?), and colored bricks are for

Coulson, Deadpool, Hulk, Thor (to an extent) and Loki (to an extent) were the only ones spared the fate of mediocre voice acting.

If these actors are what we're gonna get in MvC4......if it happens, I fear for the game.

I don't think most people are as 'astute' about voice acting as you are, so things will probably be alright for most of us. But I do wish you satisfaction with MvC4 if that ever happens, though.

The next LEGO game has big shoes to fill. It's usually minor improvements, but they improve with every single iteration. With this one, this is the one that did the best job of making characters feel unique, even if they weren't. The amount of unique finishers, idle animations, etc is astonishing. Batman 2 barely had any of it. I don't know what's next (tmnttmnttmnt), but they'll definitely have to keep up this level of detail with stuff like the, obviously it's coming, lego Star Wars based on the new movie. I could see a Lego Simpsons game maybe as well since they're making those sets.

As an aside: Are steam achievements for this not working? I haven't gotten any.

I've really enjoyed this so far. Best LEGO game yet. Playing on PC. The depth of references they've included is amazing, so many little touches and nods to characters from all over the Marvel universe. Seeing Captain Britain in there also made my day, haha. Having them all interacting within the story mode is great too. The only thing I don't like about it is that one pedestrian that constantly shouts "Ugh, move it buddy!". I think I heard that 20 times in the space of 5 minutes at one point.

Pre-purchased this last night through GMG... notice the EU release date is November 15.

Fuck me I want to play this right now. :(

They're making a LEGO Movie: The Game so that one should be even more balls-to-the-wall since it has so many different characters from all of LEGO in it.

It not going into free play mode immediately after a mission is by far the most annoying thing about the game. No reason why I shouldn't be able to immediately switch characters and have to go to a S.H.I.E.L.D. Point.

That said (vehicle spoiler) the
S.H.I.E.L.D. Minicarrier is SO DAMN CUTE.

I don't even have all of the red bricks yet and I already have more money than ill ever need. Sitting on almost 50mill now and I usually get true believer within half of the first area in every level :lol
 
yeah, I've noticed that this game hands out money at an insane pace. I have bought everything as soon as I get it and I still have 1mil in the bank. I don't know if it's a portable/memory thing but when I go back through an area, about 75% of the furniture and stuff is back and you can destroy it again for more money. And then again, and again. It respawns almost as soon as you go off-screen.

After about an hour of fucking around, I got the touch screen overlay to disappear. No idea what was causing it. I just disabled every USB device except my mouse, keyboard, 360 dongle, and bluetooth.

Now that I've finally gotten to play it, I really like it. Looks great with some SweetFX tweaking.

This is how I remember Batman 2.

I am so weak, I am almost tempted to get this game. Wii U crowd sound out is it fun?

How do you get the black/film suit Cyclops?

The marker is on my map, but I can't figure out where he is, or find any interactables near by/above/below.

Game is fun to play with my daughter, but it's locked up twice in the middle of missions (and we're only on level 3) necessitating complete restarts of the PS3. Goddamn annoying.

I've never had a lego game NOT lock up at least 5 times throughout the duration of our play through. It is super annoying. The seem to lock up more than any other series I've played.
 
So yeah... whats the point of ironman chest repulsor? You can kill stuff in 1-2 shots already with normal attacks, and the range is short.


I guess it getting replaced when you get
iron man 3 movie thing
. so it doesn't bother me much, but its a kinda pointless ability.
 
What does it mean when that screw levels up and says something? I have no manual and I don't know what the hell is going on half the time...
 
Really digging the Vita version . It's a nice appetizer while I wait for the PS4 version .

It's a great game.

I bought the WiiU edition. It's a blast!

I also bought the Vita and 3DS editions. I handed the Vita one to the small fry, kept the 3DS one for myself. The 3D effect (even with slowdown) is one of the best implemented on the system. It stands next to Castlevania MoF's effect.

Love both 3DS and U editions. So different.

I love this game. The dialogue is really good at times, especially with some of the characters/quest givers in the open world. Very liberal use of puns but Professor X and more recently Punisher had me smiling.

Just a note, you might have to do a few vehicle/? missions before a character becomes available for an unlock. For those holding out for their favourite character to appear, you might have to do say 2-3 missions for Ghost Rider, Heimdall, Punisher, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, etc. before you get a mission to unlock them.

Still having lots of fun grinding out these good bricks and characters. Just so much charm in this game.

When doing freeroam are there random enemies you can fight?
Pedestrians mostly, who won't fight back. Some side missions involve clearing goons out of alleys, there are escort missions where you have to defend the person you're escorting, Sentinel fighting missions, defend this area missions, etc. There are a LOT of missions, but they aren't just everywhere continually wrecking havoc.

I've been attacked once randomly going into an alley, and I'm pretty sure I wasn't doing a mission, but I'm probably wrong since its only happened once.

This looks kinda cool but I haven't bought a Lego game since Lego Star Wars III. How have the games improved since?
A lot. Full voice acting, generally more activities and interaction types, more detailed, bigger, prettier, more lively worlds (and recently, open worlds). The biggest contribution Lego Marvel makes is that characters are more unique. The Star Wars series had been particularly guilty of cloning with little effort. It's still a LEGO game, so like every other LEGO game you should get it based on how much you enjoy those recurring mechanics (build + use appropriate character to use) and how much you like Marvel as a property.

It's hard to describe until you play the game but there are so many tiny details. For instance, characters with ranged attacks usually all just hold their palms out for when you are ranged targeting, but Sandman transforms into a cannon ball on wheels. Iceman skates for his running animation and when he glides he freezes the path infront of him. Dr. Doom doesn't have to charge his electricity. Wolverine doesn't die, just ends up as an adamantium skeleton that regenerates. Even lesser known characters like Ronan The Accuser have some unique animations too. It's very impressive IMO. You can even attribute powers to custom characters (though its a bit limited, I tried making Rogue and couldn't assign telekinetic powers to her).
 
My daughter and I have played through the first mission multiple times and it never saves the progress. It always says it is but when we try to load from the title screen it says no data....am I doing something wrong?

Are there more objects to destroy and collect studs? It seemed so sparse in lego lord of the rings, I imagine though cause of the setting.
Yeah, it's much more populated than LEGO LotR because it's in a dense city. Closer to LEGO City Undercover in that regard. Though even the "countryside" area around the X-Mansion has a lot of vegetation to blow up.

Is there a full list of all the playable characters in the game yet? Every list I can find seems to be incomplete and from before launch.

I've only got a few (~2-4) left to unlock, going to grind them out and potentially 100% tonight and make a list.

Anyone else surprised that Ant Man and Wasp have NO role in the story when their in-game ability seems like it would be perfect for puzzle solving instead of having yet another switch that only cap can turn?

I just unlocked every character (except Stan Lee). Updated the list in OP with the final character roster. Can anyone with Universe in Peril (mobile version) tell us what the mobile exclusive characters are by conferring with that list?

Yeah, there are some weird inconsistencies in the game. Another one that only shows up in the endgame content is
the Power Cosmic to move black bricks
and in the side missions there's also
Peter Parker's photo taking ability, though that's understandably limited, it still would be cool to go around taking perfectly framed pictures of the LEGO NYC landmarks.

I agree. The few mini mazes in NY were better than the cap locks. Ant Man is the most OP character in the game, BTW. His ant mob attack takes out enemy mobs instantly.
