Maybe a good rental or buy after a major price drop. I like a good B-grade game on occasion.

Good to see Jeff actually giving Kessler a chance. Kessler isn't too bad at running quick looks, apparently.

Oh shit. That bit when he collected two beers, documents and two helmets in quick succession was pretty ridiculous.

Still, looks playable and entertaining enough. Also, I demand a game where your main/only weapon is a shield. Rip this off, right now. Charge attacks, spins, throws, ricochets, counters, there's so much to do with a fucking shield it has to be done.

Yeah, they should do it more, I liked Kessler here and I feel a bit more experience with the medium would make him better.

The word "captain" is misspelled in the file name.

I stopped watching when I heard: "Hello Matt Kessler."

Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Kessler, but the way the staff interacts with him is neither adequate nor funny. Acting childish in order to annoy him or simply bitching at him, because he is "the intern" is not entertaining. I come here for the unique humor and style of the videos. I don't come here for dumb screaming and bitching.

So if you want to install Kessler as one of the crew, start treating him like everyone else to make videos with him an enjoyable experience.

Edit: According to the comments here, this video is not like the abysmal EDF Quick Look, so I gave it a chance. You were right, actually I like the tendency they are going with Kessler (you know, talking to him like a normal human being would do?), but I will leave my original comment to make sure it can be seen how displeased I was with the general atmosphere and quality of the EDF Quick Look.

Then watch the quicklook because that doesn't happen here.

Great quick look. Kessler is certainly warming up in the quick look seat.

*edit* and then he bite the dust from explosions and pulled a Brad from a stray sniper. Good job. :P

Jeff barely pokes fun at Kessler here. No more than he would with any of the other staff.

You know what, as far as movie tie in games, this seems perfectly reasonable. There are worse games they could have copied from, so seeing the combat it looks fun. Rather take a functional if generic brawler action game then a terrible movie tie in game.

Great QL guys! Kept me entertained despite my total lack of comic knowledge. Or perhaps because of! Fuck Bucky whoever he is!

Game looks like it could be worse though the lack of polish shows and it's too bad there's so little variety. Still, as movie games go, especially comic-movie games, this looks decent at least.

Is the brightness set to max or something? The lighting seems terrible. 
 
edit: I like how all the lighting work has been put into the loading screens! 
 
Also, everyone whining about Kessler: We could do a lot worse than him.
