Lego Marvel Super Heroes

[NinjaMan]

Anyone else excited for this game? Looks to have well over 100 characters. Here are some vids:

It's a Lego game...

Looks okay. Nothing too exciting.

Pssssh. Look, it's Mr. Grumpy.
I preordered it at Walmart for 360. :D comes with an Iron Patriot minifigure.

I feel a Thread War coming on!

I heard GameStop will have dlc for thanos and a classic hawkeye alt

[The Stryker]

It looks exactly like every other lego game that has ever been released. Alrighty.

I'm sure it'll be.....okay but it's hard for me to imagine a person that isn't 5 being really 'excited' for one of those games.

Every game is the same goddamn thing.

[Zachatello00]

You can't tell me you wouldn't get excited about Lego TMNT though... Right?

I'm fairly new into the Lego game scene. I picked up Lego batman for ten at GameStop and I loved it. So I'm really looking forward to this one, too.

[Cure]

You can't tell me you wouldn't get excited about Lego TMNT though... Right?

Why would anyone? Again, it'll be the same thing.

[Peanut]

You can't tell me you wouldn't get excited about Lego TMNT though... Right?

Why? They are almost all the exact same game. They're just swapping assets and stamping a brand on it.

[Leo656]

Yeah, I have fun with all of these games but it's hard to argue with that. The variety between games is pretty nil.

[Zachatello00]

Well, for those who don't get super into the Lego titles, it's nice when you have one that fits your franchise.

The Lego games may be remarkably similar, but its a neat way to celebrate your favorite characters.

Kind of like, playing with actual Legos. Batman mini figs are just mini figures with a fresh coat of "bat paint".

I love Batman and Star Wars.

They're still pretty much the same goddamn game and no amount of fandom is going to blind me from that.

[Zachatello00]

Yeah, I understand that. I'm just saying that its nice, in those situations, to have a Lego game that matches specifically your franchise taste.

In other words, I'm a star wars fan, so I'll pick up Lego Star Wars the game. I'll leave Lego Lord of the Rings alone.

I'm a harry potter fan, so I'll pick up Lego Harry Potter and forget about Lego Batman, etc.

They've been gradually improving these LEGO games, adding more gameplay features and whatnot. And this one has the hugest cast of characters in a LEGO game to-date... I will get it on PC. One thing I love about these LEGO games is how cheap they are on PC. Usually $29.99 on Steam on launch day

I love the LEGO brand, I have tons of bricks, but they really are missing a huge opportunity with these LEGO games. They could be so much more. Wish the LEGO MMORPG had been done right... also the timing on it was a little off, if it had come out after minecraft caught fire maybe they'd have gotten some more attention. (Yeah minecraft was in alpha in 2009 but there was a very long build-up to its popularity, Lego Universe barely missed the window)

Universe was doomed from the start.

I don't know why you guys are being so grumpy about this.

I'm really looking forward this game because of the characters, settings, and the story. An entire Marvel world built out of LEGO, populated with Marvel character minifigs, as well is exciting to me.

Not to mention these games are all really enjoyable in multiplayer. I really don't enjoy them that much by myself but they work perfectly with 2 or more players. Maybe that's why you guys don't find them very fun.

Every lego game is the same. Just different characters and a different license.
It's an okay series, and I don't hate it. There just all the same.

I played the games with my nieces all the time.

They're still exactly the same. No amount of Iron Man paint can change that.

Yeah I'm pumped to play it with my 4 year old. Tons of my favorite Marvel characters. The 2 of us really had fun with Lego Batman 2 as well. I just wish it had online co-op. Gamescon is in a few days and there's supposed to be some more character reveals.

Demo is out today and here is a glimpse of Open World NYC. The Marvel fanboy in me is quite pleased.

If no one posts in your thread after multiple bumps it may be time to stop bumping it. Just saying.

[raph27]

It's out! I preordered it, but...I'm actually thinking about dropping it I don't actually have a system to play it on (thought I'd get one by now) and the Iron Patriot minifig really isn't worth THAT much to me. I'll still get it, the game looks great, but I'll wait till I have my 360 and it drops down to $20.
EDIT: Wellllll, I decided to just get it. So much for that.
In other news, IGN gave it a 9.0. Why do we f**king care at all?asks Peanut. I just found it very surprising because IGN NEVER gives this good a rating to LEGO games. Usually around 5.5 or 6. Now I can't wait to play.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Just ordered it.

How many DLC packs are there?

[NinjaMan]

Just ordered it.

So far there's the Gamestop super hero pack with Thanos, Symbiote Spidey, Dark Phoenix, A-bomb/Rick Jones, Falcon, Winter Soldier, and some extra vehicles. Then there's the Thor movie DLC which was reported to have been released on day 1 but hasn't yet. It's a great game. My game of the year. Best Marvel/Lego game to date. NYC is huge!

Wait wait wait

I can only get Thanos, etc. if I get it from Gamestop? It's not otherwise available?

Dang.

For now yeah. But usually Lego DLC will be released after a month to the general public. I know that's how it was in Lego Batman 2.

[Zulithe]

Right now achievements don't work on the Steam version, but it's a known issue they should be fixing soon.

Hope they put those character DLCs on Steam too.
