I can't believe it.

Cheating on Total Drama Island...
Total Drama is close, trust me. But MLP is what made me take stronger notice of the cartoon scene as a whole. It influenced a lot of my favorite tropes (crazy silly female characters, lavish musical numbers, bratty girls being redeemed, great use of dragons), and a LOT of the lore and worldbuilding still holds up for me. It could be argued I might not have gotten into Total Drama at all without MLP's influence on me.

They seem very player friendly

Non of the skins seem to be limited time and I’m pretty sure all can be earned with in game currency. Which during beta the quests gave a solid daily amount as did level ups.

Also if you do choose to spend money, it’s way cheaper than other games right now.
$18 for a outfit that adds zero gameplay benefit? No thanks.

what worries me the most is that as the life of the game goes on, our mains will major buffs, nerfs and reworks. They did this so many times in OverWatch and it made many of my characters super not fun to play.

Another thing to be on watch for is the longevity of Marvel games+netease. They are notorious for dumping games (ending support and closing them down) in under 2-3 years.

You can still earn them for free. A but much sure, but if you want the cooler skins of Fortnite it’s about $23.

Or a more horrible example, Multiversus is charging $30 for skins right now that are elusive rarity( meaning they never return) and dropped 6 of them this event. You get one for free.

So I’ll take that monetization any day, considering it’s still able to be gotten free.

As for marvels other games, they died off because they bad tbh.

I say this as someone who paid $80 for the avengers game. It was pretty disappointing. Snap seems to be suffering from the same anti consumer support and nothing to really do. Which seems to be the issues marvel has with their other failed projects.

Something that Rivals seems to be ahead of the curve on and is already better situated because it’s a game with more replay ability then other projects marvel has done.

But we shall see how it pans out.

Okay guys, let's play a game.

Give a fake problem in your life, then the next person will need to give advice to the problem as a fictional character. People will then try to guess the character. You get bonus points for hilarity.

Let's start a chain.

"Man I sure and sad that my girlfriend cheated on me."

Loki Season 2 and Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection (PS4) came in. Gonna hit those up over chridt

PS5 so that it’ll finally have a game
PS5 has had PS5 games since launch.

I had Avengers (2020) too. Yeah it was super bad. But what I’m talking about are stuff like Marvel Super War and Marvel Future Revolution. Games considered “good” but canceled once it stopped making money early on.

We still gotta see how it goes but skins won’t be able to carry Marvel rivals for long. Especially at $18 a pop.

In this instance it wasn’t about his health (poor diet or disease). He was literally murdered. Shot in the back.

If you can't stomach the gameplay, watch a walkthrough. Gameplay is not for everyone (divisive then and divisive now) but the story alone makes it worth a solid watch at the least.

don't worry I won't get mad this time cause I agree that the gameplay is boring (and also why argue over paper wahoo man again), but uh we're a minority in this thread

Super's gameplay 'is' boring since it's really just "Do I jump on this enemy or do I switch to Bowser.... It's Bowser 100%"


Super's strength is entirely its narrative.

When I first played it, I was upset Luigi was only playable for two chapters and the postgame.

Looking back, I 100% understand why Luigi was only playable in two chapters and the post game (and also why they made him unplayable for the final boss)

Honestly, the Sammer Kingdom is really dull. It's "Pick Bowser and swap between Barry/the Pixl that serves as a platform" for all 100 fights.

I will say though, while SPM's gameplay is kinda drab, the whole 2d-3d flipping mechanic is fun, at least the first few times you do it. The vibes of that mechanic alone are worth it

A part of me wonders why they did three pit of 100 trials and two of them are easy as hell.

I get it was popular in TTYD but it didn't need 3 of them.

Oh yeah Marvel rivals has had several more characters leaked. No set release window, just characters with slots allocated to them in the code. A few of which have actual artwork. So beware if spoilers:

Rest of the F4 are associated with character slots, and so are Jean Gray and Emma Frost.

My little game turned into Super Paper Mario slander.

This is the worst timeline.

Nah not that wiki
The actual Smash Wiki
Oh ok that's SIGNIFICANTLY better but like. It's a forum, most forums I've been to have casual sections and there's nothing to talk about now lol. So unless I can spin some bull**** like saying Arcueid needs to be in Smash cause I've been playing Tsukihime, we're just gonna chill
