Since this is basically Marvel Diablo, how does it match up against Diablo 3, because the console version of that is pretty damn solid as is?
Diablo 3 is WAY better than this. The big thing about these sorts of games is getting loot and making your character look cool while they kick ass. Well loot in this game has no cosmetics. All that you have to pay real money for each outfit and the way they handle that is kind of klunky too.
Also the loot itself makes very little sense. In Diablo you had a few stats and then you'd get maybe one skill specific boost on a piece of gear and then a couple of other abilities on a piece of gear. Overall you'd have at most 6 bonuses on a piece of gear but they all make perfect sense when you read them what they do and how much they help you. In the Marvel game gear can have 1 to like 15 different bonuses. They all affect different minor systems in the game and as the game randomly generates them and how many bonuses they have there's no real good way to build a character along a set path that you want. In Diablo the 6 bonuses you can get are split up into 2 categories and you'd get up to 3 of one of them and up to 3 of the others. In Marvel it's just bonus soup and it's all random all the time.
Gameplay wise and story wise this game's just fine. The most recent update though confused the living hell out of me so I haven't really been back since. Also they have now completely gutted and overhauled the character systems like three times now. (not real sure why they even did this most recent one, no one seemed to like it when they did it)
I still never got the appeal of the 3d Metroid games. They felt too slow to be a shooter and too clunky to be an adventure game. Also stuff I liked doing in 2d Metroid games (searching for all the secrets and platforming) just felt tedious in 2d. Still plenty of people love them, I just don't get it. Also part of me just loved the 2d games so much that anything that wasn't that just felt like getting mario tennis when you were hoping for another mario bros game.
My guess is that he's headed to GB-East. He was there a few months ago "visiting" and his GF is from there. Plus that coast needs another member and overall they didn't NEED a new employee.
