"So, are you here to escort me?"
Awwwwww yeah MvC3 review/thoughts/rant time. |3 Split into three groups depending on what you want to see/avoid.
Gameplay. First off, omggggggggggg the battle system. ♥ I wasn't having any of that Simple Mode stuff, so I went straight into Normal and GAH IT IS WONDERFUL. Simple to get into -- MUCH less painful than MvC2 -- but friggin' complex. I'm actually able to do some rather good combos (my weakness in most fighting games), so that means something?
Graphics. So. Gorgeous. I don't think I even need to go into this, but WOO MT FRAMEWORK <3
Characters. Ahahaha I love this roster so gorram much. ODDLY ENOUGH, Trish has become my baby of the game and I am totally playing favorites; rather than sticking to preset teams, I mix and match depending on my mood, and she is always one of my fighters. Always. But her/Wesker/Spidey is still my primary team. |3 Anyhow, I adore Trish's style; it's "Keep Away and Piss Off the Opponent With Traps and Distance Moves!" but she can also handle herself up close pretty well, so yesssss, best of both worlds. Ash has already figured out how to get around her, pffffffft. Spidey is delightful, as always; Wesker took some time getting used to and is probably the most complex character of mine along with She-Hulk just because you can chain SO MUCH CRAP OF HIS together with his various teleport moves; I LOVE Felicia's crazy battle style and she's become one of my top four. ♥ DANTE IS EFFING INSANE AND I'VE ONLY TRIED HIM A COUPLE TIMES. Might go back to him later.
ALSO I think it's worth noting that I love how they did Chris in here. He's totally the Voice of Reason in the roster, asking the rhetorical question "What's the point of all this fighting?" at the end of the match and constantly and openly being protective of his teammates. D'awwww, Chris, you big softeh. ALSO, each character's bio comes with a power grid, and I'd like to point out that his intelligence level is friggin' high. Either 5/7 or 6/7. I think. I forget how many squares there are. POINT IS, THEY RECOGNIZE THAT HE'S NOT A DOOFUS. Not when it gets srs, anyway. |D Sisters and I have giggled a bit over JUST HOW TIGHT his shirt is, because it was so not that form-hugging in RE5. Obviously, he has to keep up with all the Marvel dudes showin' off their abs, is all. AND AND AND--in his bio under "profile," it says that he's "currently searching for his partner, Jill, who's recently gone missing." OHHHH HEEEEEEEEELL I SMELL AWESOME PLOT. 8D
DIALOGUE. This, admittedly, was one of the things I was looking most forward to in this game. I love the various snark/friendly banter/canon throwbacks between characters, but my favorites so far have to be:
Spidey (when starting against Wesker): "Ugh, my slimeball senses are tingling. B|" (I've heard he's specific to Wesker at the end of battle, too, but I have yet to see it.)
Chris: "I'll be damned if I lose another partner." (Which... made all three of us go "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW DDDDD:" lmao.)
Wesker (after beating MODOK): "I do look forward to dissecting that ridiculously oversized brain of yours." (fffff they make him SUCH A CREEPER IN THIS GAME and yet it's accurate so I LOVE IT)
And... many others, but that'd take forever to list. Worth noting that EVERYTHING OUT OF TRISH'S MOUTH is an innuendo -- GOOD, CAPCOM. SHE IS IC.
WARNING: STORY MODE SPOILERS HUR
AHAAAAAAAAAA Chris' is the best thing ever. X'DDDD Murdock is prosecuting straightjacket'd!Wesker and then Chris CATCHES HIM when he tries to escape with the ever-awesome "I WILL PIN YOU, BITCH" threat. X'DDDDDD BEAUTIFUL.
Wesker's. Oh, Gooooooooooood, Wesker's. XD He CAPTURES ALL THE MARVEL HEROES AND PLANS TO UROBOROS THEM. While musing that they'll either become "the next Alexia or the next Lisa Trevor." FFFFFFFFF YOU ARE SO HORRIBLE WHY DO I LOVE YOU SO. ._.;;;; And that got us on the subject that Cap would probably be a successful case, and Phoenix would just kick Wesker's ass as Alexia 2.0, lololol. And then he'd leave it to the remaining heroes to stop her.
WARNING: COMIC BOOK STUFF HUR. Although if you have it, you've likely already read it, so... STILL.
Chris + Jill = BEST OPENING EVER, K. With... Jill randomly in her battle suit because this is Marvel and Capcom, and Marvel and Capcom love tight suits and random cleavage. That aside, she's so pretteh in comic book form. <3 And WOO SHE WAS DUAL-WIELDING. I LOVE WHEN SHE DUAL-WIELDS. I love when ANYONE dual-wields, most of the time, but there are a select few who take it to the next level of awesome. I'm assuming this ties in to her SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE later, although we'll be left to fill in the blanks ourselves, most likely. Fic it, yo.
But AHAHA omg, Dante and Deadpool. XD <3333 The most ingenious combo ever.
"Hey, pretty boy. Where're you from? The Planet of the Fabios?"
"Jealousy will get you nowhere."
And FFFFFFFFF Dante's reaction to Galactus: "Who's the giant guy in the purple hat? Give him a cape and a cane and he's the biggest pimp I've ever seen." X'DD <3 I love that idiot so, so much.
And OH MY GOD THE NEW COSTUME DLC PACK--S.T.A.R.S. CHRIS FTMFW FOREVER. It's not just a recolor, either--it's a WHOLE NEW MODEL and lmao he SHAVED AND CUT HIS HAIR--IT'S CUTE!DORKEH!RE1!CHRIS. <33333333 I miss it. ;; Obviously, I will be getting this the day it hits. Even if Dante's just looks weird. Leave that look to your daddy, boy.
And nooooooooow I burn time until Jill is released. |D Her, Trish, and Felicia. LET'S ROLL. And sometimes Wesker.
