A lot of good recommendations here, would love to see pretty much all of them. Gone In 60 Seconds and Ghost Rider would be easy picks. Those movies are exactly what you want for a series like this.
Based on how it feels unfinished, and how it performs on current-gen, it seems like the game was meant for next-gen when they started out. This game performs and looks way better on PC, and it even includes ultra-wide support, though the cinematics clearly were not tested with it. The campaign is pretty great, but it also crashed about a dozen times in the 40 hours I've been playing. Based on the script changes and how chopped up some things feel, it seems like the game was drastically altered over the course of development, maybe more than once. That scene in the quick look is the last time you see Abomination even though Monica says "we need him", so I assume there's a lot to come in the tons of free DLC they have planned. Fun but a real mess in its current state. If you're on the fence, just wait for a sale.
It does eventually turn into a "you're a god now, go here melt everything with your powers that refresh every minute or two" in the vein of a Diablo loot rush in the post-game once you hit power level 50 or so, but it would be a lot more fun if there were more varied locations and enemies like you'd have to assume they'll add along with each character. Who can say when they will happen though?
@onlineatron: the entire game is multiplayer for the most part. The part that they selected is specifically post-game content. Any of them could have just loaded up their latest mission and they could have played level appropriate content.
This is really difficult to watch, and doesn't show the game off well, bugs aside. The multiplayer is clearly meant to be played after you finish the game and have a good grip on it. The game tutorialized every ability and thing in the game sometimes twice. The first level they played was meant for people 10 levels higher than Jan, and he had the highest level. But whatever.
It's disheartening how many people read through the Pascual thread and came to the conclusion that that's what a regular falling out in a relationship looks like. (It's not. Or at least, it shouldn't be.) If anything, normalizing what he did as just "being a shitty boyfriend" highlights how prevalent abuse actually is. There shouldn't be a fucking tier list of how serious allegations are -- it all matters in different ways. Not to mention that the point of airing these things out isn't to get actual legal action (which hardly ever happens), but to bring awareness to a huge, horrible elephant in the room.
I also found this incredibly disheartening. I also can't believe the way that Tadthuggish was treated on like four separate occasions for calling out Max. The mods who deleted his comments, banned him from posting, and stifled his attempts to improve the state of the site's community, should be absolutely ashamed of their actions.
Vinny and the staff in recent days have stated that they wanted this site to feel as safe as it can be, and largely, it has felt that way since the start, everyone is human and makes mistakes, and I feel like they have done as good a job as can be expected, apart from Max.
I've been a fan of this staff's creative output since before the site has existed, and have rarely posted, other than to try to stop them from blowing up their own spot, and nobody probably cares but me, but it is beyond belief that drawing some fanart in the early days of the site, or being very visible around the site, or posting a bunch of wiki edits, or creating user reviews, or whatever ended up landing them those positions was all it took to get them there. I find it highly irresponsible, especially for something now owned by a large corporate interest, which deserves no extra respect, but could result in the site being wiped away for good.
This site has always been something important to me, and this isn't enough to make me never come back, but I don't fucking know man. Serious mistakes were made.
