That shield "clank" sound is extremely satisfying.

@Mooqi: First of all, the way Jeff said "Hello Matt Kessler" wasn't demeaning in any way. 
 
Second, it's a joke. They make fun of the intern because it's a running joke. Matt knows it, the staff knows it, but it's flown so high over your head that you seem to be the only one offended here.

Almost prolific how this quick look ends with Captain America getting sniped when that's how he "dies" in the comics.

Have to say, Kessler seems to be relaxing a bit more and not trying so damn hard to be funny or a character. Which is a good thing, cause this quick look was fun!

I still can't stand Kessler's voice (sorry dude, just how it comes across to me) but this was far better than the horrendous EDF quick look. When they aren't doing the "bash the former intern" gag, he's much better.
 
That said, this game looks awful. Dumbed down to a level even dudebros would find patronising. Sega really needs to lose the rights to Marvel games.

I'll end up renting it someday just for the fighting. That looks crazy satisfying. Everything else just looks like the very definition of 2001 mediocre action game design.

Looks decent enough to add to gamefly to tackle it over a weekend. Seems stupid yet fun.
 
Edit: should have called the game 'Capt. America Super Kleptomaniac'. I don't mind collecting things in games but amazed at how much they put in the game seen just in the quick look.

I've always had a thing for third-person action games where you just run around beating up guys and watching them ragdoll about the place. That's why I loved Minority Report in spite of it being pretty bad.

i get the whole thing of the four duders are doing, i mean, they do their own thing, cause we enjoy that and we shouldnt dictacte what they should and shouldnt do. That would ruin the whole thing.

With that being said they also live off us, the viewers. Then, when they start doing something the viewers dont care for or like, they will find other products or other websites to enjoy, and they might just end up losing alot of viewers.

and the viewers dont care much for kessler :/

sorry duder

I like Kessler quicklooks, but he has a bad habit of talking about things that he isn't showing (... like the beginning and end of the game) and then not explaining (what achievement? I shouldn't have to guess). Good job though. Jeff was much less of an ass to you than Ryan.

Starting to really come around to Kessler. When he chills out and interacts instead of trying to be the hyper always funny guy, he is enjoyable to listen to.

This quick look was really informative and funny.  Kessler is getting good at these...as long as someone isn't constantly hounding him throughout the quick look.

Kessler holds his water, and he very well might have a career for hisself. But I am deeply disappointed in one crucial and fatal alteration of the Capt's. accoutrement. Captain America's helmet needed real wings. In fact the more pronounced and ornate the wings the better. Nothing speaks like Soldier of the Future Patriotic American Empire like spread eagle wings on a helmet. The world needs to know it's future masters, even or best even, if conveyed in a comic book fashion.

Really Don't get the hate with Kessler. This video was great. Is it due to him to not getting every piece of Captain America trivia correct? It's a quick look for a video game, not a pub quiz. He even admits he's not very familiar with the world of Captain America. 
 
Anyway, every quick look you guys do are awesome. I'm going to be finally upgrading to a paid member this week also.

This QL would have been even funnier had Kessler made Cap somersault his way through the game like a super serum powered cheerleader.
