From his time in East LA to his devilish days, Ghost Rider has been on a HELL of a ride.

NGL, the story clips and voice acting sound very cringe and amateurish.

But might be good nonetheless. Wait and see approach from me on this one.

The most entertaining thing about this game is that whenever they post about it on the XCOM 2 news on steam, they get a massive down voting + a avalanche of replies with "XCOM 3"

Enter The Daywalker. Witness the recruitment of Blade as he looks to join the hunt with the Midnight Suns!

The reviews I've seen for this so far are kind of funny. They seem to mostly be: Gameplay is really fun, but the Persona-ish friendship system Firaxis is trying to do in the Abbey section is excruciating thanks to horrible writing.

The customization options on the heroes (especially the heroes from the comics) also seems to be sorely lacking. Really not sure why they'd just have set skins with a handful of set color options to make them as opposed to letting players mix and match parts, and color the costumes however the player wants. Part of being a license property is being a fan service thing, and letting some Marvel fan create their own personal Iron Man or whatever would go a long way into leaning into that fan service aspect. The selection of costumes is a pretty weird and lame bunch of costumes for the majority of them it looks like, especially if whats there is all there really is. Like, Iron Man has a few magic armors, a few that even look like suits of knight's armor, and they all look better than the Iron Knight suit. Everyone seems to have some kind of classic knight variant costume, which would seem like there's going to be a section of the game that does Queen's Vengeance...wouldn't be too hard to tie Morgan le Fay (who I think is showing up in MCU stuff now) into Midnight Sons stuff.

Reminder that Infinitron has never shilled a good game.

The producer at 0:26 in the second vid says it all. Everyone knows talking about mental health issues in your super hero simulator is great fun. Also Jake doesn't look very enthusiastic.

 

[deuxhero]

Are any of the heroes with actual mental issues, like Bruce Banner, even in this?

Yeah, but he really let his metal health issues get away from him...

I swear every time I check this topic again I discover that the release date keeps getting later and later. Duke Nukem Forever style waiting for a game people didn't think was ever going to be that good to begin with.

 

[Fedora Master]

Still not an RPG btw

 

[NecroLord]

Fuck Marvel.
That is all.

 

[GrainWetski]

Still not an RPG btw

But it has cards and the developers are degenerates!

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Kinda sad, really...

It identifies as an RPG therefore it is an RPG, chudlord

 

[NecroLord]

Imagine actually wanting a good Marvel RPG.
What the fuck.

Nico might be the youngest on the team, but she is the heart and soul of the Midnight Suns. She is THE glue that keeps this team together. Watch how Nico unites the team in our final Prequel Short, Nico TV.

[Wirdschowerdn]

Shocking news: It's a dud.

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Shame really, was cautiously mildly optimistic...

 

[Lacrymas]

The fact this game exists is super bizarre to me and feels like a matrix simulation and I don't really know why. The opening of that review is cute, but who exactly is "the friend I love"? ;d Marvel? Ew.

 

[Alienman]

Looks like grindy microtransaction hell. Shame Xcom 3 died for this.
