i don't think you need to tell me that the guy called "flambae" is gay. anyone who can't immediately get that vibe would be shocked about waylon smithers. anyway game is boring, i hope they get the funding and drive to make a new season of sam and max.

maybe if you're a retard that didn't look at the photo of her parents in their house
 
Played it. Not a lot of actual gameplay involved and the jokes were shit, but I liked some of the characters. I wish I'd have paid like half of what I did for it. 6, 6.5.

I'm actually quite surprised at how much people are raving about it, and more specifically comparing it to the "bad era" of the MCU, since a lot of the flaws of this game (particularly half of the "sincere" aspects need to be undercut by a dogshit joke) are just as prevalent in this as they are in Marvel movies. I'd go so far as to rank this on par with Ant-Man 3 in terms of "bad capeshit". When it succeeds is when it actually makes the characters seem real and you're just watching them interact with each other. Watching people all across the internet point to it as a "THIS is how you do some superheroes!" is quite bizarre. I think even "The Drinker", motherfucker who's done nothing but bitch about Marvel movies for years, cite it as exceedingly well done of what a "genuine" capeshit should be.

It's the exact same thing.

Abandon thread. Game is receiving mainstream praise and is generally liked by most users, so all future comments are going to be about how relentlessly awful and Reddit it is.

Don't dead open inside.

Thing is though it IS reddit, that's why the over the top praise is blowing my mind. And I say that as someone who does like it. It is probably one of the most "modern Marvel" products I've seen in quite some time, which is wild that so many of the usual suspects being so non-critical of it is strange.

I'd argue that it's not even modern Mavel, it's circa 2009 Marvel. Which is where most of the praise is coming from, people who expected all the heroes to be complete degenerates, all the men to be ineffective losers, all the women to be grandstanding lesbians, etc. It was shocking that the group of reformed villains acted more heroic than supposed heroes have in at least a decade. Once that novelty wears off, most of those praising it will lose interest. Then season 2 will come out and the developers will demonstrate the good things about the first season were done completely by accident and all the gay retarded shit of modern Marvel will be at the forefront.
 
I finished it twice. Game is an 8 hour superhero cartoon with slight variety of choices. Protagonist's love interest is clearly meant to be Invisigal. Especially in good mentor route. There is also a cut content of sex scenes due to budget cuts and apparently, coomers are clamouring for their return

I don’t really resent the choice in context— it’s just confirming my gut intuition about the average /v/irgin.

Blonde Blazer is fine, but there's no reason why she likes Robert. Invisigal it makes sense why she falls for Robert because it starts out as her lusting for Robert's dick then it evolves into something more. Blonde Blazer really needed more screentime in the middle because she's basically irrelevant in episodes 4, 5, and 6; burying some of her content in a comic is not good enough. If she got a sex scene the split would be more even, but it got cut along with another sex scene with Invisigal.

I said I get it in context. It is just funny that /v/ anons justify their choice by implying bad things about Blazer rather than saying Invisigal felt better narratively (and coming clean about the sex scene because they deny being obsessed with cooming the same way trannies deny being their birth gender).

/v/ LARPs as Nazis, but will immediately go for the tomboy/alt-girl, no matter the race. It's the same thing I've seen with /co/ and tomboy Lois Lane in My Adventures with Superman.

The girl who is as alienated from classic femininity as they are from classic masculinity (But even that’s delusional from their end).

Apparently the reason she broke up with phenomoman is that she asked him "how do you see us in 5 years from now?" to which he replied that they will be still fighting crime like always and she wanted to settle down and have a normal life.
So she might saw Robert as someone human and with whom she might have way more in common. So i buy it.
Btw a lot of people thought she was evil and they cope that at least with Invi they see her evil side straight away so there will be no surprises. Ironic if you ask me.

Yeah, that was in the comic, but not a lot of people are gonna shell out for a deluxe edition.

I can see why people thought she was evil, or at least suspicious. Her forcing Robert to fire someone to "shake things up" and show the Z-Team they're "serious" was seriously retarded. If it was a gameplay choice that during the 3rd shift if you failed too much, then you had to fire someone, that would make sense. Yet, having a near flawless run, especially during the 2nd shift only for her to still go through with it shows that narratively she's was either a shit manager or she was undermining Robert (at the time). Then adding Waterboy or Phenomaman (not villains) to the team just made the whole cutting thing worthless.

Always great when episodic storytelling forces people to change their minds mid-thought. But strangely never their conclusions. Thunkful.
