X-men Destiny

[Sebastian]

Looks like a new activation xmen game is coming.
Release is fall 2011 hopefully better than ultimate alliance 2.
Will premiere at nycc tomorrow

Edit, it's probably a mmo

I saw the trailer for this, I was pretty underwhelmed but I guess because of how little information the trailer had. I am guessing you will be able to create your own mutant and make different choices like either joining the X-men or the Brotherhood and so on and so forth. Seems interesting.

I was hoping for x-men legends 3. The first two were great. Didn't really like ultimate alliance. It's good to see that activation still holds the marvel license.

I would love X-Men legends 3, but I'd like Ultimate Allicance 3 even more. But they would have to be better than UA2. That game was a HUGE disappointment.

Glad to see a new marvel release in the games department but i dont have super high hopes for this one due to the lack of character cusomization, will definatly be a rental at the very least for me.

Let us know what it's like, i'm a little unsure of this title.

I read the description on Amazon and it sounded pretty cool. I will most likely get it, but it may have to wait until after Arkham City.

If it gets decent reviews, I'll pick it up.

Seems like this game is DOA. I was wondering why this game's release date was so close and I hadn't heard a thing about it.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but X-Men Destiny is definitely a let-down. I had it pre-purchased, but after our home budget got slashed in half due to wife's layoff, I decided to just add it to my Gamefly Q. It arrived yesterday, and I finished the game with one character in 5 hours. Now, you might be thinking, well, there are 3 characters, so that's 15 hours. The problem with that is that the game feels exactly the same. I went with the jock the first time and sided with the X-men (I guess it's a bad sign about the story when I cannot even remember his name). I started a new game with the female character and went the Brotherhood route. I only made it about half way through the second playthrough before boredom drove me away. The intro cinema is different when you pick a different character, but the levels play out EXACTLY the same. The difference between Xavier and Brotherhood didn't seem to be that much other than different character cameos. But, in the end, the worse offense is the fighting engine. You have 3 different powers (energy projection, shadow energy, and body density (think Colossus for a general idea). So, you would think there would be different strategies. The body density jock on my first playthrough basically punched his way through the bad guys like the tank he was. So, I went with the female with energy projection, think I would be sniping bad guys from afar. Nope. I am still beating guys up same style as before, just with a new lighting effect. Very disappointing.

If you are an X-men fan, the game might be worth a rental for a least one play through (the story isn't great, but it entertained me for the afternoon). And maybe a purchase when it hits the 10 to 20 dollar range. But, in my opinion, the game is a huge waste of money at 60 bucks. Here's hoping Gamefly sends me Rage and Dark Souls next week ... that should be a great game feast after the X-men "appetizer".

glad i didnt buy this.

 

[Antman84]

I'm glad I read this first saw this on the ageless today and was almost tempted to buy

 

[xYx]

Repetetive & nothing impressive or even memorable about it, as a game that is BUT would be worthwhile for some truly hardcore X-Men/Marvel/Comic book fans such as myself.

I heard this game was junk

I watched a video of this game a month or so ago and thought it looked like a PS2 game.
