I'll probably pick it up for $10 down the line. I mean a beat 'em up's a beat 'em up even if it doesn't have textures. :lol
Besides, it comes with this as an unlockable gamerpic.
I've always wanted that.

Does the PS3 version have an unlockable avatar?
Gambit's introduction is a glowing example of the quality writing to be found within X-men Destiny.
"Who're you?"
"I'm an X-men here to deliver this package to you. I kept it safe from the Purifiers!"
"I don't trust you mon ami let's fight"
*BORING FIGHT*
"So why are you here again?"
"I'm an X-men here to deliver this package to you. I kept it safe from the Purifiers!"
"Oh! Why didn't you say so in the first place?" (almost word for word, by the way)

Good to see the reason you don't play as one of the X-men is because they wanted to use them in such an interesting way.Nairume said:

No fuck them, they put out this piece of trash and are charging full price for it. They deserve every bit of criticism when you look at the lazy, piss poor effort they put in.CaLe said:

I can understand love for a franchise compelling you to play a game but are you enjoyingit enough to stick with it to the end?Captain N said:

How far are you in the game with your PS3 version? Have you encountered the same terrible textures as the 360 version shown in the pictures/videos above?

Rented the ps3 version. I'm half way through in about 2 1/2 hours.
My copy doesn't have the texture load in problem that the youtube video has. Unless the xbox version really is broken. That said it does look like a ps2 game. The framerate is horrible. It chugs anytime there are a group of enemies or some type of particle effect is on screen. Environments are bland, barren, and non interactive. Animations are stiff, the mini map and cutscenes are pixelated, and so on.
Combat is really basic. Just tap square and win. There are arena challenges, but they just consist of kill X amount of enemies. Boss battles are unimaginative, and there aren't any puzzles to break up the monotonous action.
Not sure what else to say. It sucks and Silicon Knights should be shut down. I guess if you love X-men you can rent it but no one should ever pay full price for this.

Those name graphics are even funnier in motion because the character will immediately start moving and clip through them as soon as they pop up.
Here's one of the moral choices I encountered...
Option A: The X-Men are awesome!!
Option B: Brotherhood Rules!!
Option C: I don't know yet

Any idea on the impact of story decisions and how you build your character?Rated-Rsuperstar said:

Nairume said:One other moral option I came across was
Nightcrawler: Hey, help us save people from being captured by Purifiers
Mystique: Hey, help us murder people by cutting oil lines so Pyro can murder people better
Also, the camera in this game is terrible.
Please tell me that was how it was really said in the game.

Hay look a box of kittens, what should we do with it?
1. Take it a local vets and have them look over all the kittens.
2. Rape, kill then eat the kittens.

I'm...actually having a great time with this. I haven't seen texture issues like in that video, I'm on 360 and have the game installed. It's not the greatest looking game, but like Too Human it only loads once at the beginning and unlike Too Human there's no long Valkyrie cutscene when you die. Though, I've only died 2 times in about 2 and a half hours of play.
The game is more of a God of War-lite than an RPG, though there are quite a few different powers and I feel like I've built my own character. I'm digging the silly story and I could see playing it again to make different choices. The combat works fine for what it is.
That's really how I would describe this game, it's "Fine." And full of X-men fan service.

You have an alliance meter. At certain points you talk to characters that are part of the Brotherhood or X-men. If you choose to do their side mission the meter goes in there favor. There's also key story moments where they force you to make a choice. So far my choices haven't affected the story or gameplay in any way.
You build your character through xp by defeating enemies and collecting X genes by finding them in the environment or completing side missions. XP upgrades your combos and X genes give you different perks like faster healing.

Acti' holding back review code is an obvious indicator that their putting this out just to recoup what ever dev costs they can.Cmagus said:

Thanks for the write up, that was this games last hope for me, if it had an amazing story that the player could minulate in interesting ways I could over look a lot of the other shit but hearing that it has less RPG elements then most sports games really is the final nail.Rated-Rsuperstar said:

Oh god! Please tell me that they had a "C" team working on this, and not their "A" listers, as this appears to be a horrible travesty, and i actually liked Too Human.

Clearly it's just rushed. If it had another 10 years it'd be able to match Too Human's (relative) high quality.
I had really high hopes for this -- basically I kept hearing it was Infamous but with X-Men characters. Hopefully Activision 007 Blood Stone this and X-Men Destiny is actually a decent game sent to die.
Still, it looks awful from videos I've seen -- even then, I'm getting PS3 or 360 version when it drops in price.

Its the same with film, when a company knows they'll get bad reviews they don't do press screening, meaning reviews have to be written after its already out.Cmagus said:

As someone else said it's God of War lite. There aren't any deeper choices or customizations beyond what I already mentioned. And by glancing at the trophies I can tell you there are two different endings which will be nothing more then choose A or B.
