There aren’t less movie tie in games because there were more consoles back then. Bruh that is the dumbest shit. There’s more platforms now than there were then.
Big issue with getting the real actors to voice act: Just because someone can act well doesn't mean they can voice act well. Not always the case, but it is a different experience being a character and acting as them than it is to stand in a room speaking the same line into a microphone several times until the voice director says you can move on to the next one. That, and big name actors may just phone in their voice roles because they're not getting paid as much as a normal acting role.
But they do ADR all the time. Though that's not the same as voice acting because they can probably see themselves reading the lines and are just dubbing over it. But yeah that seems close to voice acting.
@@TheAssassin642 yeah this was my thought too, they do ADR so what's the problem? I will say the only ADR I've seen was Hugh Jackman for one of the wolverine movies or X-Men movies and yeah I would say it's a different experience (like he is full into the scene basically acting it out in the room he's in) than just voice recording a sound booth so maybe that's why they're not good at it.
@@TheAssassin642 RDJ would have had to do it for all the scenes he's in the suit. It might be a case where they have no context of the scene, poor direction. Like they just have lines on a page. In a proper film production, they actually rehearse everything in table reads. Ask all the questions and get feedback.

There was this weird trend in the late 2000s where cross gen games used the last gen version for the pc release, going against the entire concept of the pc. You can still see this today with pc versions not getting next gen features, effectively making them the last gen versions.
It was very common with Disney games at the time too. That made a bit more sense at least since they were mainly aimed at kids. Kids who only have access to the family shitbox PC w/ integrated graphics. Since the MCU movies were more for a general audience I'm not sure why the route was the same for those games.
@@yxrackman2397 That's fair. I do also forget that the PC market was looked down upon by a lot of companies at this time. So treating the PC ver. as the lower priority made sense to them.
Thor DS is also noteworthy for having an _absurdly_ good soundtrack, unsurprisingly (given it's a WayForward game) done by none other than Jake Kaufman.
I feel sorry for you and your editor, yet grateful for all the wonderful footage of these games I've never played nor have I ever wanted to. Thanks for another excellent video, remember to pace yourselves, and I'll look forward to the next!
Honestly I really enjoyed the Captain America tie in game, the HD one specifically, it was the closest to Batman Arkham combat as it was going to get without being well Batman Arkham and it made me really like the idea of Captain America as a video game, plus the VA for it which had a lot of the cast to reprise their roles from the movie actually did a better job than most Tie In games that get the movie actors to reprise their given roles, still though with Amy Henning's Captain America project being announced as a team up with the Black Panther makes me more excited than ever for Captain America and even characters who never got a game prior to actually get their own games or heck a bigger role in a Marvel game at all, so excited where the future leaves us True Believers with the world of Marvel.
a very interesting time since there wasn't nearly as much of a connecting theme between all the movies, now you if you watch a Marvel movie it has a very specific feeling to it like getting a different type of burger at the same joint over and over
I like to say that the MCU Pre-Avengers was more of an experimental phase. Avengers felt closer to what we would get, but modern MCU didn't fully start until Winter Soldier/Guardians of the Galaxy in my opinion.
Didn’t know they had an established comic author so the stories for these; explains the gap between the quality of IM and IM2s campaigns. Glad to see anyone standing up for Im2; played them 360 version and really like it for what it was.
I actually thought The Incredible Hulk movie with Edward Norton was a pretty good movie and highly underrated. I thought Norton did a good job playing the world-weary wanderer aspect of Bruce Banner's character. That being said, I actually do like Mark Ruffalo's performance the best, but Norton did pretty well in his own right. This is a total side-bar, but there was a line in a conversation between Black Widow and Banner from Avengers: Age of Ultron that I really like. She states (I might end up paraphrasing), "You're the only guy who's afraid to fight because he knows he'll win." I don't remember much about that film, but that moment sticks out for me.
@@SourRobo8364 I always figured that's just because so many different people have so many various tastes and/or preferences in things that there really is no pleasing an entire crowd made up of individuals who either like and/or dislike something for various reasons, potentially anyway. That being said, I'm likely overthinking this way too much lol
@@moroseloki1912 Was that in one of the Avengers movies or was it Thor: Ragnarok? I do recall that was a line, but I couldn't tell you from which film.
I remember back in the 2016-2018 time period I thought to myself that Marvel was really kicking up their game in... games. Telltale Guardians, Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, and LEGO Avengers & Marvel 2 But it really does seem that after Spider-Man 2018 they really became motivated to go for bigger and prestigious AAA games. Even if the Avengers game was a failure we still got great Miles Morales and a Guardians game (I haven't played it yet) and we got Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, Captain America & Black Panther, open world Black Panther, and Iron Man coming. Spidey '18 really motivated Marvel to aim bigger and higher and I really appreciate the game for it.
Hey, partner. New to this channel and I'm just seeing your comment. I hope you've gotten to play that Guardians game. I think every fan should check it out. I also hope you'll give Midnight Suns a go! I'll admit I'm a sucker for deck builders, but everything else around that got me hooked. Really an incredible game.
Can you do Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise and what other anime or non anime license games would you want from RGG Studio in either turn base or brawling combat? Capt America is probably the best of MCU games.
The CELL processor was an absolute beast. It's just most devs were too lazy to actually put the time and effort into working with it. That's why most of PS3s first party titles were amazing, they solely focused on the cell.
I think it was less laziness and more that the thing was hard to develop for and Sony was overprotective of their technology and wouldn't share every detail they needed about it.
The interesting thing about the THQ avengers game is that there is actually a playable version of it that exists. They gave the writer of the game a build of the game and according to him, it would have been great.
Honestly believe that less tie in games coming out is mostly due to the rising cost of games and companies knowing of the bad reputation these have gained over the actual decades.
This makes me want a Fromsoft Iron Man game. Metal Wolf Chaos II: Stark Industries. Tony must team up with the President of the United States of America to take down a faction of Hydra that has resurrected Richard.
The problem with your opinions and thoughts on the Hulk films is that people have now been going back and watching the Hulk films and liking them a whole bunch more then some of the other MCU films. But this was a good video all in all.
I actually remember playing Super Soldier when I was a kid on the Xbox 360, and man… it was actually really good. Like it wasn’t “blow your mind” good, but for a movie tie-in it was surprisingly solid!
Thor is probably the biggest disappointment - considering how many God of War games had come out at that point. All developers had to do was use that game as a template & change the God of War for the God of Thunder. Captain America Super Solder's devs understood, that if you're gonna do a quick license tie-in, just "borrow" everything you can from another game that can fit within the core of the character, story, enemy & levels. Thor the video gane attempted that, but failed miserably, which is even more baffling.
18:21 the fact I recognized one of those renders as the Secret Rings render shocked me. Pretty thankful that the only MCU game I touched from the early days as a kid was the Iron Man Movie one is surprising as both my brother and I played the shit out of Web of Shadows and Ultimate Alliance 3. Also I know that Edge of Reality was alright licensed wise as I LOVED the Over the Hedge game to death! Imo one of my personal favorite Dreamworks related Licensed games
Props for using the Viper OST from the X68000 as one of the background songs, I recently got into X68000 music and its amazing, esp the OST from the Viper series of games
Yooooo! Doin what Penny "Snapcube" Parker couldnt put herself through! I was really hoping someone would have the lack of self worth to do this to themself
yo, Ang Lee's Hulk is a GREAT movie. sure it's got rough edges but as a Jekyll and Hyde style character drama it's very impressive and unique. the danny elfman composed theme is also quite excellent.
@@backspacer92 it's slow and tense, more like a thriller. excellent direction and solid performances is what i love about it. music really adds a lot as well
Technically LEGO Avengers exists as a MCU based video game and came around one year after Age of Ultron It has the plot points of both Avengers 1 and Age of Ultron as the main levels with side content inspired by Iron Man 3, First Avenger, Dark World, Winter Soldier and Agent Carter. With a New York open world and other locations from the films like Asgard, Sokovia, Washington DC, Tony's beach and so on
The 2020 Avengers game actually isn't the only Avengers game. In 2016 LEGO Avengers came out. It follows the story of several of the MCU movies. It includes characters from the MCU, characters that would later be introduced to the MCU, and various other Marvel comic characters. Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno of all people are even playable characters.
I feel like these games are a demonstration of how a quality voiceover director makes all the difference. Plus, a great actor isn't necessarily a great voiceactor - even qhilw playing the same role as their onscreen character. That's why, in Japan, they value voice actors and separate them from other actors.
You mentioning the actor to voice actor transition for one character reminded me of how Kevin Conroy can do it in the other direction, for Batman, despite not looking anything like a normal Batman casting, and was first noted to have done so while a volunteer during post-9/11 clean-up in order to motivate emergency personnel. Any actor who can't voice act their biggest character just as well isn't as talented as Kevin "perfect Batman voice, perfect Old Bruce casting" Conroy.
Watching this video after the announcement of EA Motive's Iron Man game. I hope they learned the lessons of these Iron Man games to give us the Iron Man game we've been clamoring for since we were kids. Seeing EA's name attached does set off more than a few alarm bells, but it's not like they've never made a good game before. And people do seem to have a fairly positive opinion of this Motive studio, so I'll err on the side of being excited for the game for now. And besides, I think that superhero games are being held to a higher standard nowadays. The Arkham games were all great, both Insomniac Spider-Man games were great, and Guardians of the Galaxy was great. And while it's not out yet, even the people who think Gotham Knights looks mid (can we please retire that godforsaken word as an insult?) have to admit that it still looks miles better than anything in this video. It's just a shame that no one's ever released an Avengers game. I'm sure a big budget Avengers game would be very well received and not at all embarrassing.
Usually I'm hesitant to watch or outright skip videos that are 30+ minutes long, but I will gladly watch your videos no matter the length. 1 hour video coming this year? 👀
Is there anyone in youtube Matt doesn't know?! I just found this channel this week and bam Matt McMuscles lol. I love it but it's still crazy how he keeps popping up.
I kinda hate that this era of gaming doesn't happen anymore. So many different versions of games getting released but looking exactly the same. I always thought they were all the same game somehow lol
People really forget how far ahead of the PC those consoles were at the time. Even top Master Race PCs struggled to keep up with games coming out for the Xbox 360 or the PS3 later on. That's why most PC versions were "old gen" versions. A computer that could realistically run a PS3 game would cost way more than even the average gaming rig.
That was because those consoles were actually some pretty marvelous purpose-built hardware. The great recession kept them along so long that we forget that. The PS3 in particular is such a unique system that porting to/from it is hard, emulating it is even harder, and when Kojima weaved MGS4 into the framework of the hardware via his team being experts at the Playstation architecture, he accidentally made a game impossible to port off the system. PCs started outclassing consoles because computing power doubled about five times from one console generation to the next thanks to the great recession putting them on pause. PCs didn't get significantly better so much as consoles stagnated for a decade. Of course, Valve gave PC gaming the biggest shot in the arm ever with Steam and it's been roided out since.
@@PosthumanHeresy Yup! PCs brute forced their way out of the seventh gen, but even then developers were still squeezing out power from the Xbox 360 and the PS3. I recall John Carmack disappointed that the One and the PS4 were nearing their announcements, because he still felt those consoles could've gone one at least until 2015 or so. In the end, I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't have been better. We would probably be getting ready for the next gen right about now, which would have been better since the last two years have been scarce with next gen games.
@@du0lol I've never heard anyone say the generation should have gone longer, but if John Carmack thinks so then it's true. Name a 3D game. It's engine is using John Carmack's code. If it isn't, it's an absolute shitshow to work with and only used by the idiots who made it unless it's also Japanese (and even they've started given in and using Unreal lately). Unreal and Source are both built on top of his code. Personally I just find it funny that after they both jumped the gun trying to return to the previous pace when going from the One/PS4 to the Series/PS5, the human malware caused a second Great Recession. Shoulda slowed down!
@@PosthumanHeresy To be fair, I kinda felt the same way back then too, which is why I was so struck by hearing Carmack's opinion. I remember playing Resident Evil 6 and being surprised at how good it looked, especially in comparison to other games on the system. Next gen arrived a year later and, early on, it was still hard to distinguish between Xbox 360 and Xbox One games. Very different than the jump from Xbox to Xbox One.
The Iron Man game on PS2 was the second game I ever had on the system. I still love that game and find it more fun than other people find it to be. Also Thor on DS is fantastic.
33:30 Unexpected Ser Aymeric (from the Critically Acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV with a free trial that includes both A Realm Reborn AND the critically acclaimed Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime) is appreciated! Oh, and it’s also nice to see this video finally realized. Played the PS3 version of the original Iron Man game at a cousin’s house once (but don’t remember how I felt about it). Never got it myself though bc when I was a kid I was more into racing games (especially Need For Speed, have all of the 6th & 7th gen console NFS games in my collection)
God, I'm glad we never got an Avengers game. It probably would have been riddled with microtransactions, questionable design decisions, and a Spider Man that would have been better represented in Fortnite. Rediculous...and what else would have they done? Come out with an absolute stellar Guardians of the Galaxy game? Unlikely.
I'll be honest, Hulk in Xbox360 was the best. I loved it. It was like Prototype but as Hulk. I loved how multiple heroes could appear and fight without context
Many of these games have iOS versions that range from nice to awesome, but I can totally see how it's not practical to review them in this video... Sometimes I really hate Apple for locking all my childhood favorites behind 😩
I remember playing the demo for Iron Man 2 on PS3 multiple times as a kid. I remember it not being half bad. I agree that if the devs had more time then it could have been something truly special.
Devs like Wayforward just show us that it's not that games are rushed that makes them bad, it's that people who don't understand their timeline are expected to do things fast. Get a team who knows their job and they can absolutely kill it with one classic rule: keep it simple, stupid.
It's actually kind of ridiculous that we've never had a really good Iron Man game. I feel like he should be so easy to make a game about given his skillset.
Nice to hear Thor Ragnarok is your favorite MCU movie. That movie is also my favorite and made Thor my favorite avenger. What do you think about Thor 4? Everyone seems to hate it but I really liked it. The Gorr and Zeus actors killed it imo
It's weird to say licensed games are dead with Midnight Sun's, Spiderman 2, Wolverine and a Black Panther,Captain America WW2 team up game on the horizon! Feels like they're more alive now then any point in the last 10 years tbh
I think it’s interesting how everyone online now says things about the MCU like “for better or worse” even though everyone was praising it as the greatest thing ever when Infinity War and Endgame came out. Entitlement sure makes people forget 14 years of praise, success and storytelling.

Props for using the Viper OST from the X68000 as one of the background songs, I recently got into X68000 music and its amazing, esp the OST from the Viper series of games
Yooooo! Doin what Penny "Snapcube" Parker couldnt put herself through! I was really hoping someone would have the lack of self worth to do this to themself
50 minutes to tell the world that THOR DS was AWESOME! Very much worth it. You did an amazing job. Get some well deserved rest.
It’s like watching a part Austin Eruption and a part What Happened episode here. It’s great to bring him in this part of the video.
yo, Ang Lee's Hulk is a GREAT movie. sure it's got rough edges but as a Jekyll and Hyde style character drama it's very impressive and unique. the danny elfman composed theme is also quite excellent.
Yeaah, is a much better movie than what people give credit for, and i dare to say more memorable than current marvel movies
I love the movie and I don't even know why.
@@backspacer92 it's slow and tense, more like a thriller. excellent direction and solid performances is what i love about it. music really adds a lot as well
Technically LEGO Avengers exists as a MCU based video game and came around one year after Age of Ultron
It has the plot points of both Avengers 1 and Age of Ultron as the main levels with side content inspired by Iron Man 3, First Avenger, Dark World, Winter Soldier and Agent Carter. With a New York open world and other locations from the films like Asgard, Sokovia, Washington DC, Tony's beach and so on
The 2020 Avengers game actually isn't the only Avengers game. In 2016 LEGO Avengers came out. It follows the story of several of the MCU movies. It includes characters from the MCU, characters that would later be introduced to the MCU, and various other Marvel comic characters. Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno of all people are even playable characters.
I dig how you threw in a clip of CM Punks recent Gripebomb in the beginning. Always nice to be reminded that you’re a fan too.
Just Cause 3 w/ that one dlc that gives you they jet pack wings, now that's the true Iron Man game!
Again Austin nails it with yet ANOTHER informative time saving video.
That Van Helsing game was legit better than the movie.
So damn good, dude. My father threatened to put my head through a wall because I was a little shit and "accidentally" finished his game file. Lmao
I feel like these games are a demonstration of how a quality voiceover director makes all the difference. Plus, a great actor isn't necessarily a great voiceactor - even qhilw playing the same role as their onscreen character.
That's why, in Japan, they value voice actors and separate them from other actors.
You mentioning the actor to voice actor transition for one character reminded me of how Kevin Conroy can do it in the other direction, for Batman, despite not looking anything like a normal Batman casting, and was first noted to have done so while a volunteer during post-9/11 clean-up in order to motivate emergency personnel. Any actor who can't voice act their biggest character just as well isn't as talented as Kevin "perfect Batman voice, perfect Old Bruce casting" Conroy.
Watching this video after the announcement of EA Motive's Iron Man game. I hope they learned the lessons of these Iron Man games to give us the Iron Man game we've been clamoring for since we were kids. Seeing EA's name attached does set off more than a few alarm bells, but it's not like they've never made a good game before. And people do seem to have a fairly positive opinion of this Motive studio, so I'll err on the side of being excited for the game for now.
And besides, I think that superhero games are being held to a higher standard nowadays. The Arkham games were all great, both Insomniac Spider-Man games were great, and Guardians of the Galaxy was great. And while it's not out yet, even the people who think Gotham Knights looks mid (can we please retire that godforsaken word as an insult?) have to admit that it still looks miles better than anything in this video. It's just a shame that no one's ever released an Avengers game. I'm sure a big budget Avengers game would be very well received and not at all embarrassing.
Usually I'm hesitant to watch or outright skip videos that are 30+ minutes long, but I will gladly watch your videos no matter the length. 1 hour video coming this year? 👀
At this rate probably LMFAO
@@austineruption please do
How about LEGO Avengers? It's technically an MCU game.
It’s comments like “part rocking at the dennys” that keep me here Austin. I felt that in my bones
Contra 4 on the DS was like that. The top and bottom screen were all part of the same area type deal. Pretty cool for sure.
45:31 Pro tip if you have a physical copy of Bayonetta on the PS3: INSTALL THAT GAME DATA! It makes the slowdowns less common.
Is there anyone in youtube Matt doesn't know?! I just found this channel this week and bam Matt McMuscles lol. I love it but it's still crazy how he keeps popping up.
God bless you Austin for suffering through this so we can be entertained !
I kinda hate that this era of gaming doesn't happen anymore. So many different versions of games getting released but looking exactly the same. I always thought they were all the same game somehow lol
This was great!
I’m throwing in a vote for you doing all the versions of Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters movie game sometime!
People really forget how far ahead of the PC those consoles were at the time. Even top Master Race PCs struggled to keep up with games coming out for the Xbox 360 or the PS3 later on. That's why most PC versions were "old gen" versions. A computer that could realistically run a PS3 game would cost way more than even the average gaming rig.
That was because those consoles were actually some pretty marvelous purpose-built hardware. The great recession kept them along so long that we forget that. The PS3 in particular is such a unique system that porting to/from it is hard, emulating it is even harder, and when Kojima weaved MGS4 into the framework of the hardware via his team being experts at the Playstation architecture, he accidentally made a game impossible to port off the system. PCs started outclassing consoles because computing power doubled about five times from one console generation to the next thanks to the great recession putting them on pause. PCs didn't get significantly better so much as consoles stagnated for a decade. Of course, Valve gave PC gaming the biggest shot in the arm ever with Steam and it's been roided out since.
@@PosthumanHeresy Yup! PCs brute forced their way out of the seventh gen, but even then developers were still squeezing out power from the Xbox 360 and the PS3. I recall John Carmack disappointed that the One and the PS4 were nearing their announcements, because he still felt those consoles could've gone one at least until 2015 or so. In the end, I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't have been better. We would probably be getting ready for the next gen right about now, which would have been better since the last two years have been scarce with next gen games.
@@du0lol I've never heard anyone say the generation should have gone longer, but if John Carmack thinks so then it's true. Name a 3D game. It's engine is using John Carmack's code. If it isn't, it's an absolute shitshow to work with and only used by the idiots who made it unless it's also Japanese (and even they've started given in and using Unreal lately). Unreal and Source are both built on top of his code. Personally I just find it funny that after they both jumped the gun trying to return to the previous pace when going from the One/PS4 to the Series/PS5, the human malware caused a second Great Recession. Shoulda slowed down!
@@PosthumanHeresy To be fair, I kinda felt the same way back then too, which is why I was so struck by hearing Carmack's opinion. I remember playing Resident Evil 6 and being surprised at how good it looked, especially in comparison to other games on the system. Next gen arrived a year later and, early on, it was still hard to distinguish between Xbox 360 and Xbox One games. Very different than the jump from Xbox to Xbox One.
I half-expected Marvel vs Capcom Infinite to appear in this vid, given how blatant the game was in advertising MCU roster-wise
The Iron Man game on PS2 was the second game I ever had on the system. I still love that game and find it more fun than other people find it to be.
Also Thor on DS is fantastic.
Random observation, what's up with the blur on the background? I don't recall it being this blurry in other videos.
Funny thing is, there actually is exactly one licensed Avengers movie game. And it's LEGO.
33:30 Unexpected Ser Aymeric (from the Critically Acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV with a free trial that includes both A Realm Reborn AND the critically acclaimed Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime) is appreciated!
Oh, and it’s also nice to see this video finally realized. Played the PS3 version of the original Iron Man game at a cousin’s house once (but don’t remember how I felt about it). Never got it myself though bc when I was a kid I was more into racing games (especially Need For Speed, have all of the 6th & 7th gen console NFS games in my collection)
Well we now know that The Leader is coming back for Captain America 4, so The Incredible Hulk is not that skippable anymore lol
It never was skippable.
God, I'm glad we never got an Avengers game. It probably would have been riddled with microtransactions, questionable design decisions, and a Spider Man that would have been better represented in Fortnite.
Rediculous...and what else would have they done? Come out with an absolute stellar Guardians of the Galaxy game? Unlikely.
I really do love these all encompassing topic like videos that cover multiple games based around a specific topic.
Awe I wasn't expecting Matty to show up 💕 he will always be one of my best friends
I'll be honest, Hulk in Xbox360 was the best. I loved it. It was like Prototype but as Hulk. I loved how multiple heroes could appear and fight without context
11:30 I remember playing the demo of this game
It was set in a big level where you could fly around a lot, I always assumed it was an open world title
Metroid Fusion was ported to the Wii U Virtual Console. But it is the Wii U, so it makes sense why you didn't know that.
EDIT, timestamp: 38:40
I like that you used the Paul Rudd commericial clip in the intro, Paul Rudd who would later go on to play Antman in the MCU, clever!
The real Marvel Avengers games are the Lego ones.
Love seeing my favorite UA-camrs link up its like a scooby doo cross over episode
Many of these games have iOS versions that range from nice to awesome, but I can totally see how it's not practical to review them in this video... Sometimes I really hate Apple for locking all my childhood favorites behind 😩
Video starts at 3:15
That Rival Schools song at the HD Cap game part though
That song is just too good
49:20
This is LEGO Avengers erasure and I won't stand for it
I remember playing the demo for Iron Man 2 on PS3 multiple times as a kid. I remember it not being half bad. I agree that if the devs had more time then it could have been something truly special.
Devs like Wayforward just show us that it's not that games are rushed that makes them bad, it's that people who don't understand their timeline are expected to do things fast. Get a team who knows their job and they can absolutely kill it with one classic rule: keep it simple, stupid.
Ultimate destruction is one of my favorite games of all time and it is a DAMN shame that I lost it
28:00 That not a CPU, that's a real person playing the game.
Not CPU aims like that.
See even Friendly Fire is a thing.
33:23 Rondo of Blood ost?
I wonder if he'll include Lego marvel Avengers, which is based on the movies as opposed to superheroes
This goes great with Matt's Wolverine video today, that game was also by Griptonite
When the same people who make a Shark Tale game make an Incredible Hulk tie-in, there’s something wrong.
4:36 i will say i loved the Nintendo ds version of the iron man movie game. Was actually pretty decent and fun as a kid
For me the best version of the first Iron Man movie game is going to be the PS2 and PSP versions.
i am so glad we are getting 360 captain america love, I adore that game in a nostalgic way
46:00 Nintendo OWNS Next Level Games. They won't be doing that any time soon.
Thor for ds had a bonus mode with 7 bonus playable characters each with unique movesets. Wayforward is crazy.
All of them are still better than squares avengers
They ain’t
@@mrpopo5097 At least SEGA's are complete at launch and don't have pay to win BS
I like the longer videos, man. I don't get why you feel you have to apologize for it lol
I like your longer videos where you go in-depth on the games.
It's actually kind of ridiculous that we've never had a really good Iron Man game. I feel like he should be so easy to make a game about given his skillset.
You might be the first person i know to reference or hell even mention Scaler from the ps2 since i played it as a kid. I'll sub just for that alone
Nice to hear Thor Ragnarok is your favorite MCU movie. That movie is also my favorite and made Thor my favorite avenger. What do you think about Thor 4? Everyone seems to hate it but I really liked it. The Gorr and Zeus actors killed it imo
The Thor game, based on a movie i very much enjoy, is a prime example of why boring games are worse than bad games
Don't feel bad, Austin. I have the platinum trophy for Iron Man 2 and Captain America: Super Solder.
I have no regrets. Especially for the latter.
It's weird to say licensed games are dead with Midnight Sun's, Spiderman 2, Wolverine and a Black Panther,Captain America WW2 team up game on the horizon!
Feels like they're more alive now then any point in the last 10 years tbh
I think it’s interesting how everyone online now says things about the MCU like “for better or worse” even though everyone was praising it as the greatest thing ever when Infinity War and Endgame came out. Entitlement sure makes people forget 14 years of praise, success and storytelling.
