[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

[HenryJonesJr]

Spider-Man and Batman always get good video games. Everyone else on the other hand....

@Lord Wraith

Not so sure I'd say Spider-Man "always" gets good games...but yea he gets more than most do.

@Lord Wraith

I wouldn't say always...

I'll see that and raise you...

I'll take heresy for 500, Alex.

@Master Bruce

I think I win.

EDIT: Shit. Got beaten to it.

But yeah, let's just say that prior to 2009, Batman was in the same boat as every other superhero when it came to gaming. Except for Superman, who seems continually the most shit on in terms of video gaming. There are multiple X-Men games and at least one Wolverine game better than every single Superman game.

And Spider-Man, while having a great early 2000's succession of games, eventually suffered a downward spiral soon after Spider-Man 2 raised the bar by introducing free-roam. I'm hoping that the PS4 Spider-Man game breaks the curse that he's had with sub-par videogame outings, but I dunno. I've been burned too many times.

Little slow on the draw there, Brucie.

[mickilennial]

I tend to even like the "bad" Spider-Man games as long as they try. Though for some reason I just cannot replay Web of Shadows with as much enjoyment as I did when it came out. That's a tragedy right there.

[Simple Unicycle]

Honestly, I would kill to see a Punisher game in the style of the Max Payne games, or a Question game done by Telltale. But that's just me.

Ultimate Spider-Man is great. The city travel alone is fun.

This comment makes me miss the Dead to Rights games.

@Simple Unicycle

Honestly I'm just waiting for Telltale to give me Wolf Among Us 2.

The game that did hardboiled Noir better than La Noire ironically enough.

_{Though given its current development cycle it looks like its going to be delayed ad infinitum... I cry every time.}

[Simple Unicycle]

Wolf Among Us 2.

@Hexaflexagon

Thanks, now I'm reinstalling the first one.

[Retired]

I highly suggest you all read the comic the game is based on/a prequel for. Fables.

Mhmmm, while I can't say that I agree with Bill Willingham on many of his personal and political views. The man knows how to make a good comic book.

[Morden Man]

Fuck you. I'm young and on fleek.

@Byrd Man

It's moments like these that I wish there were a super-dislike button.

Or a "fuck you" button.

The "fuck you" button is signing him up for a yearly subscription to Rob Liefeld's fan club newsletter.

It comes with extra pouches.

@Master Bruce

I'll be amazed if Spider-Man PS4 isn't baseline good. Insomniac are some of the best developers out there, and everything they've shown from the game looks great.

Except for Electro's design...but alas apparently everyone sucks when attempting to redesign Electro.

Ultimate was a lot of fun.

@Hexaflexagon

The first few volumes of Fables are incredible.
