the micro transactions are an extra gimic (seriously) other wise all you need to do is level up to unlock and earn in game cash for costumes.
only pay for double exp pill which isn’t needed and only last an hour but optional. and background cards also optional and there are over 60 backgrounds and 2 5card packs 1 dollar each again if you really want nothing you pay is a need. also june or july. free dlc update and patches. last one included costumes levels patches weapons and another gadget.
no difference on ps3 or xbox360 except for some text (assistant is misc) .and xbox black level helps the look. focus pop in? the same.
PC version? sorry PC gamers pass on this one until the end of may. some computers tend to stop loading the game to start up
from acou ps3 user level 110 as i leave this comment and at 100 you can lose all your weapons but keep costumes and calling cards earned. yes it sucks but i like it because if you get into a game full of new players. you have the same limitations except you know the map, you know common locations you just start anew. give the trial a shot and see if you like it…….to bad for angry joe he didn’t wait for the trial. to others i shall give you a
“HEROIC HEAD EXPLOSION!”
Looks surprisingly fun for an arcade game. Considering most of them are just a couple hours worth of content then they’re made worthless because you played through them, it’s refreshing even with the nickle and dimeing.
It doesn’t have a trail because you need to get batman arkham city to get a beta code for it
For only 1200 MSP this is a great game. And seriously, how much do you expect from an arcade game? They also just realesed a patch with a new map, more customization, 3 new weapons. If this game just keep on updating FOR FREE, its a great investment. I recommend it.
Can’t agree on this one with you Joe. In this game, you can level up to 1000, which is crazy, but there are not enough unlocks for this high levels, yet. But the leveling is pretty fast. I’m on level 16 after 2:30, which is much more faster leveling than in BF3 for example. But as I sad, there are not so many unlocks in the game yet. The challenges you ingored to speak about are very challenging and there are many of them. It’s a shame there is no coop/duel mode for the challenges, kind of race for up to 4 players would be great with the gliders, rollerskates and grapple gun. But the matchmaking on PC is horrible, it’s ruining the game.
Either make it paid, or F2P with microtransactions. Not both. I’ll pass.
I actually like the way they handled the health system in this game, it regenerates but not yet not fast enough to the point medkits are obsolete.
Hell, it seems they even do it in tandem with the separate health for classes.
They actually had a fun idea with this game. Cosplayer wannabee Superheroes fighting cosplayer wannabee Supervillains is kinda awesome in a funny way. They just shouldn’t have played it save and turned it into another Counter Strike clone. Machine guns and grenades just seem out of place in a game like this. They should have went for stuff like stink bombs, rubber chicken, and squirt guns that are filled with nasty shit, just as an example. Goofy versions of the gadgets that the real chatacters would use. And as a sneak attack janking someones undies up hard to reinforce the nerdy aspect of the game. I think that would have been far more fun and unique.
They designed the game after an arc from the Batman comics, where a bunch of people dressed up like the Joker, after they took some toxins and to defend the city other people dressed up like Batman in ordner to stop them.
They were all carrying regular weapons and killing each other. Rubber chicken and so on … you didn’t see much of that stuff in the comic being used by them, so the game nailed it.
I see. I had no idea that this was developed after a story from an existing book or comic. The whole design of the characters suggested that this was more of a light-hearted and comedic take on the whole “I want to be a superhero” thing.
A bit of a shame, really. I think that my idea would have been more fun, unique and interesting.
There is no doubt about that
But I guess that with the gliders, the trampolines and stuff like that, there is still a little bit fancy variety in the game, but yeah, I agree with you. Exploding rubber chicken would made the game twice as awesome!
even if it just a “Call of Duty clone” it’s better than buying Modern Warfare 3 for $60.
Besides, it looks like the hit detection in this game ACTUALLY works.
I happen to really like this game. You don’t HAVE to buy anything. Someone said you end up spending $60? No, unless you’re an aesthetic whore.
I’ve agreed with Joe on everything, even on Fable (which I liked) but this… this I don’t like.
He seems to have rushed this commentary out and now a number of users now are turned away from this game. I’m disheartened as the game is quite good. It follows the same premise as TF2, but is not TF2. They have their own spin on things, so try the trial (Which is there, you get a full hour of game time, which is basically the full game but just free)
Also, the matchmaking is a little slow, but I never have to wait longer than a minute. I just back out and join back in if it takes longer, and it’ll pop in a match shortly after.
well to be fair, he probably did rush it seeing how he said he did this in between reviews for new RPGS. I’m hoping he takes a second look at the video but meh, if he doesn’t like it then he doesn’t like it.
YES! Joe is doing a Kingdom of Amalur review! I cant wait to see what he thinks about it.
Anyways… this game looks fun. Not bothered by the micros stuff either. You can get it all through the game with out spending a dime over the price of the points people, SO SHUT ABOUT IT!
To be honest, Joe did a pretty bad job following FPS basics and using that cool “See enemies through walls” perk thing. I don’t know if he’s just new to the game or was more focused on the commentary though.
I can understand the DLC complaints but at least they’re just little things that you can survive without but hey it’s only $15 and I actually like it.
I can’t also help but notice the “skip making account” option in the first few minutes but all those agreements worry me.
No, it’s not “only 15$” … For the 15$ you can buy used / new games on eBay, Amazon, Steam and so on.
They may be older, but they often still entertaining as hell and in the end a far better investation, than a tiny, flying creature above your shoulder.
There are very good reasons to complain about any kind of DLC content, if it’s not something really big and huge (and no, that’s not what she said).
However, DLC are fine if they invent much, much stuff, but if it’s below the gamers expectations, then it’s a clear pumping for the money, since they basically don’t give you the stuff from the beginning. They sell you an unpolished product, just to sell you the remaining stuff 2 months later.
I haven’t seen so many micro transactions since game room
What a piece of crap. They want 15$ for a generic shooter with a Batman theme… ok, that part isn’t bad… but then they want more money for everything else in the game, basically meaning you will end up paying 60$ over time, more or less, but for an arcade title when you could have just used that money to go get Battlefield 3 or something and then have 100% access to everything. This thing is a cheap money sink and once people realize that after release, the game will die rather quickly.
The only thing going for this game is the Batman costumes, and once the newness of that wears off… it will basically just be a TF2 clone.(And seeing as how TF2 is a horrible multiplayer shooter, one of the worst ever made this decade; that isn’t good. Why would you rip off a rip off??? Joe said a similar statement when comparing Green Lantern to Thor.)
Played the demo of this on ps3. Was sorely unimpressed. Played a 6vs6 deathmatch , i couldnt find any of the enemys for awile then got shot in the back. Respawned then accidently overcooked a grenade and killed myself. Got bored then quit and deleted the demo. Not worth buying at all, only thing it has going for it is the style and ive seen better.
Who the hell would want to pay for crap like this?
All the ageements are enough to make me say no already,
(who ever read those? they probably could say ‘you allow the devil to take your soul at the end of 2012 and agree with us putting poison in your food’ everybody just says yes anyways
There is always BS in license agreements but you have to agree anyway or you can’t use the product/play so there really isn’t much of a point in reading it. It’s not like you get a choice. You pay 60$ for a game, and it won’t even install unless you “accept” these terms and conditions. No reason to read it and no reason to care. Most of the time you can do what is against it and not get caught anyway. For example pretty much all of them say not to illegally reproduce the game… but you can very easily copy the disc then give it to a friend. It is highly unlikely that EA or such is going to find out then hunt you down for it. They also say no cheating/exploiting, which most players do every chance they get in every game I play and the company in charge rarely does anything about it or even cares at all.
Those are the kind of things you’d expect to be in there.
But whats to stop a company saying in a small line ‘by agreeing you are now my slave?’
Then you agree and BAM we’re all slaves, welcome to the future.
These agreements need to be fought against so we no longer have to agee to them.
Only 6v6 and so many micro transaction things… meh
15$ for a game that have very similar (except the batman theme)
aspects to a free game? I rather stay with TF2.
there was a free beta trial for it…
Joe, Sweden requests non-censored reviews. One beep or something as before is okay imo, but i still want to hear that unleashed nerdrage!
/ Sweden
ps.
Doesn’t seem that bad tbh, considering how bad some arcades are though this seems like something you’d play in short bursts, and i hate it as well when they try to milk as much money as possible with small “extras”.
the only thing that i absolutely hated about this game is that it isn’t available in Brazil, why does everybody forget about brazilian gamers ??? so sad
I must say that i agree. Don’t start censoring yourself.
Thats part of the charm of the show. It feels more sincere without the beeps. (and i am aware of that my spelling could be improved, sorry about that)
dont start censoring ur stuff ffs
Like for Team fortress 2 rewiev on angry joe site
This game looks more like a joke more than something someone really invested time and thought into. I get that it’s $15, but this is just.. Crap. They start with a high end price like most larger DLC Arcade games over XBL, and give you this. The animations for the player models look like shit (Along with the player models, unless you cough up some money), the guns look bland, boring and vapid and the maps.. The maps look tragically bad, almost strewn together in some sort of typically made run down city fashion.
The graphics are nothing special, if I remember correctly ‘From Dust’ was made by one guy (Granted a few others) and the game looked absolutely beautiful so they don’t get to play the ole’ card “Oh, well this is just a downloadable game Wulfe!”. In all I’d agree with Joe, you’ll play this game for a bit, they’ll stiff you 15$ and nickel and dime you the entire time you play while trying to get you to register a retarded ID account you don’t fucking need. Just get TF2 for FREE and enjoy a much better experience and a vibrant online community welcoming you to a much better game.
I was able to download a trial. Cant you find it?
Jeez, I cant watch fps’s played on consoles – simple random strafing and console player would be fucked. Dont get me wrong, I am not hating on consoles, I myself own a 360… but this genre is really not suited for gamepad.
I hope they have plans for other factions like False Face Society, New Olympians, Royal Flush Gang, Kobra, Society of Assassins, Intergang, etc.
Good fucking god this is terrible haha. Batman meets BF:Heroes… do not want.
Thanks Joe.
JOE may you pleas review team fortress 2
Oh c’mon Joe! You’re gonna start censoring your videos? That’s fucking bullshit!
BTW, this is the first time i comment here. I love your videos and i really respect your opinions because you are a true gamer.
Hope to see more videos from you!
Pay attention! He completely did not censor anything lol. He bleeped out Mother in Motherfucker and added a bleep between F and UCK.
am i the only one who sees this as an insult to batman?
Its an insult to The Joker as well…In fact Batman and Joker would team up to kick this game creators asses!
really looking forward to ur next reviews!!
#YoJoe, why do some of your reviews have curses and others have them bleeped? This one for example has both.
So how is sword of the stars looking? Can it run now?
Only reason I even gave this game a look was because it was by Monolith. And they made Aliens vs Predator 2 which is one of the best shooters I ever played. But honestly this game looks like crap to me. Especially with all that’s micro transactions mess. It’s like its trying to be TF2 and COD at the same time but failing to be any good at either.
five months in, -still- waiting on the SW:TOR review that was to be “a week from now”
I’ve been playing this the past couple days. Granted I can’t get a decent k/d ratio, but I’m having loads of fun with it. I’m doing Psych Warfare and TDM for the most part. I think that’s why it’s only 1200 MS points. I usually get matches with 6v6, so it’s never a problem for me. But despite some of the main screen annoyances, I plan to keep this for awhile.
Hm, I downloaded the trial for this game an hour ago; you get 60 min of gameplay.
first
Kids still do that “first” shit now-a-days?
Apparently they also do that “Thumbs up because…” shit too. Just look at the top comments Joe’s Top Tens of 2011 videos. One guy has almost 100 because he said “Thumbs up if you want a top ten worsts list!”, which is a comment so stupid, I can’t believe people DID NOT think Joe was going to do a worst list.
Youtube crap is invading legit websites now.
Leave life NOW !!!
