I need you to do a what happened for maverick hunter (the fps mega man game) I think it'd be a great video
I legit played this on Gamecube. In terms of the presentation, yeah it was really good, but the washed out colors just didn't ring well with me. Character models were on point for the Marvel characters at least.
The Imperfects were really unbalanced, packing the higher levels of strength, and felt like if you weren't skilled enough to beat ass with the Marvel team, the Imperfects would be grossly too powerful. Very few Marvel characters could lift the heaviest things by comparison.
EA didn't get a chance to utilize the Imperfects, nor did they get the chance to balance them out, and the ad campaign being all about Paragon was... Shallow at best...
Honestly, they should have just focused on more content. Adding more characters to the roster, and more stages, and let the players duke it out in ALL the stages in ALL their glory like a backroom brawl at a WWE event at the time. If the entire stage was more a split screen affair where you met up in the middle of a large stage with an arena in the middle, it could have been a lot better.
But in terms of controls, EA really fucked up and got it backwards with B being to jump, and A used to attack. I get the A button on the Gamecube controller was the biggest button of all, but it was no excuse to reject the control tradition of "B = Attack, & A = Jump"!. they made a terrible mistake on that control setup.
Also, the whole "Sacrifice" bullshit where you were FORCED to sacrifice a Marvel hero for an Imperfect's story was just absolute BULLSHIT! ESPECIALLY with the story ending with the Imperfects taking the helm, when we know a hero like Wolverine would just come back angrier than before and unleash his rage on whoever tried to bring him down in the first place! AND if he found out anyone he was friends with was killed, then a quick death from Wolverine was the smallest gesture of mercy, compared to him eviscerating you like a group of inmates in prison would to a pedophile!
It felt WRONG to sacrifice the Marvel heroes, including beloved heroes like Wolverine and Spider-man for characters like Johnny Ohm, Brigade, Faultzone, and eventually Paragon and Van Rokel.It felt more like blasphemy to be forced to end the story of a Marvel hero for one of the EA Mary Sues.
@@calvanothomas07 I feel like that video should be in a Triple pack discussing it, MegaMan Universe and MegaMan Online since all 3 were scrapped in around the same timeframe.
Do crackdown 3!!😡
I lent this game to a kid in my apartment complex and in return he lent me his memory card having all the characters unlocked. I didn’t have a memory card growing up as a kid, so it meant a lot to be able to play with all the characters.
Thank you dude, if you happen to see this and even remember 🙏🏽
That man is an absolute trooper 🫡 That story campaign and some of the entirely unfair fights/mission objectives break many lesser men. I don't remember if I 100%ed it but, I had nothing better to do except homework at the time so, I honestly don't doubt I did.
Wait, Ryan?
damn i remember doing something like that, i used to keep exchanging games with one kid in the apartment complex, good times
@@viscountrainbows2857human torch level made me so mad
CORRECTION: Turns out the Nintendo DS version was not developed by EA Canada, but as Utah-based Sensory Sweep Studios. Thanks to @butlergames for the correction!
I played this game so much as kid. I remember how hard the story mode was for me, and I remember being so hype when I finally got to play as Spider-Man in the story. I hope we get another like this in the future.
Dude the story was terrifying because of the difficulty lol
I remember my dad getting the furthest into the story mode, it took him until after beating that mission where you had to beat Johnny Ohm as Daredevil to give up.
I use to sneak and play my dads copy I loved playing this game
i played this years later, finally got spider-man, then stopped again bc i didn't wanna kill him 😂
i remember giving up on the story completely because there was a mission as iron man where you literally had like 10 seconds to destroy multiple objects
The fact that the renderer would crash the game when the camera was at a certain angle is silly, but the fact that they could never fix the bug and just locked the camera so the deadly angle could never be reached is just... transcendent.
That's like burning your whole house down because your shower doesn't get warm fast enough and you don't want to call a plumber to fix it.
Modern problems require modern solutions
Smokes and mirrors fam, smokes and mirrors. That's what game design is all about 😂
@@viscountrainbows2857you clearly have no idea what game coding in company time is, since your example is waaaaaay off. Let me tell you why.
They designed a camera system. That camera system, because of not concrete evidence and experience, was acknowledged as a working system. That camera system works with a third party renderer.
Let's say during alpha testing, they didn't find the bug, because maybe the bug didn't occur in the first place, because probably they hadn't put everything yet (it's still alpha).
Let's go to pre beta time. During testing, the renderer is overlapping some whatever code and causes the game to crash, as it stops the game's frame update.
Now, the debugging comes to place. You run diagnostics, you run safety checks, and after days (which are days without progress, so losing-money days) you find that the renderer is causing it.
There you have to face the reality of the situation:
a) spend human resources and lots of labour hours on a THIRD PARTY RENDERER (meaning not company's renderer) to debug, diagnose and the recoding
b) limit a bit the gameplay and save tons of work on a THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE.
The sane choice is to go with b, since the third party renderer might not be used in a future project, so fixing that bug, would classify it as totally useless, since there is already a b option.
Doc, it hurts when I go like this...
As a naive teen, I thought that the relationship between Capcom and Marvel was one of mutual admiration and respect, that Marvel permitted Capcom the license not just for the money (I wasn’t aware how dire the straits were for Marvel when they agreed to those deals), but because they thought Capcom would handle the IPs the best (definitely better than LJN and the other companies doling out terrible games) and the success of those games are what kept it going. Heck, the release of Pocket Fighter made a possible X-Babies Vs Pocket Fighter seem like a natural culmination (imagine the chibi characters fighting a comics-accurate Mojo).
When Marvel Nemesis was announced I was appalled. Why trust anyone else but Capcom? Of course, hindsight is 20/20 (man, does that sound different post year 2020), and while it’s on record that Capcom employees were massive fans, for Marvel, it was strictly business. A shame.
I guess it makes you go back in time and say "oh sweet, sweet summer child..."
At that time EA was HUGE and was cranking some absurd numbers: Need for speed, lord of the rings, FIFA, 007, def jam, burnout, 007... They had an absurd number of big seller franchieses and licensed games and as much as I love MvC it did not sell as well, it wasn't mainstream enough.
it gets to the heart of the problem with Matt's overview here: Marvel in 2005 absolutely thought a fighting game deal with EA would mean The Thing and Spider Man VS Barry Bonds and Busta Rhymes. Marvel as a "serious" company that guarded its IP didnt happen until the Iron Man/Avengers movies became a hit.
Also: a "sports celebs" vs Marvel heroes game... definitely woulda made more money than this shit. I am guessing the road block was in portraying the athletes' likenesses
OK ARE THAT DUMB MARVEL NEMESIS WAS DONE BY EA NOT CAPCOM YOU TWEET!
They really should have just did a Def Jam vendetta style game with marvel characters. I actually remember enjoying this game, particularly the psp version. But a good game it was not
This game was pretty fun in local multiplayer back in the day. It’s extremely far from balanced but it was just dumb fun chucking objects at each other.
Right just picked someone with a ranged throw and you already had a strong advantage. If I remember venom was ridiculously better than most characters
Well that's all fighters including high end being counter picks.
@@oknodiangames6 I remember human torch and venom having almost zero counters like venoms biggest weakness was speed but he was still pretty fast himself and only had a hard time against Spider-Man. Meanwhile human torches biggest weakness was meter management so as long as you were being smart, torch was godlike. He even had the longest (that I can remember) combo string that almost resembled a bnb from umvc3
@@oknodiangames6three things I recall strongly from my experience.
Venom was busted. Ranged throw, projectile and super strength. Also his air movement was goofy. Always gave me a hard time.
Brigade was more busted. Though he ate energy like a termite eats real estate, he was able to kill in only three moves, had super strength by default and could tank anything that wasn’t the existential crisis he suffered when his energy bar got too low.
Iron Man was the GOAT. He could fly, had THREE projectiles, super strength, was exceptionally sturdy and could just set up a wall of pain that lasted for days without ever having to worry about recharging. Worse yet on some consoles his rockets had homing capability. Which was great. One of the easiest ways to shut him down was to use the Glass Cannon Magneto and lock him in the wall throw glitch. But in order for that to work you’d need to ensure he never got a shot off once.
Why even bother adding Human Torch or Spider-Man at all when Venom and Solara were far superior alternatives? It’s been nearly 20 years and all I have are more questions.
Legit this is how I won some of the harder fights. I would spend about 75% of them running around like an idiot looking for a throwable while they Benny Hill chased me or fired projectiles like they were at the Dunk Tank and I was the clown.
Damn; I was really hoping for an explanation on why the story's method for pushing the Imperfects is to have them literally murder as many of the Marvel characters as possible!
Because 2000's super heroes were all about that Edge
Edge bs that's about it
Look at what they did with the Ultimate Universe shortly after lol. Murdering tons of Marvel chars was just the fashion at the time
I mean, "shock value" is pretty much the only reason that I can think of.
To show how much of a threat/powerful they were.
Worked for Goldberg.
I played this at a friend's house as a young one, and the minute I saw the dark, gritty graphics and heard Spider-Man cursing, I was like, "this is it. I've gone to the dark side. There's no turning back now. Time to start wearing black and listening to heavy metal."
I absolutely LOVED this game as a kid me and all the kids in the daycare would play this one all day idk how this retrospective It's going to look back on it yet but it'll always have a place in my heart!
I could've sworn I was the only person who liked this game.
Games always more with people. Me playing this alone vs something like Xmen legends. Well let's just say I did not like imperfects
Yall had games in daycare and this was the game?
@@vincentpistoia9034some daycare that was
Oh _hell_ yes! So glad to see you finally tackle this one. I was obsessed with this game as a kid. I got the tie-in comics, followed the online ad campaign religiously, played through the single-player all the time, ooh'd and ahh'd at the new characters and prayed that Marvel would implement them into their mainline comics.
...oh yeah it was all terribly cringe and arguably bad. That's why 15-year-old me loved it.
I bet it felt like it was YOUR thing. You were part of it since the beginning. You owned it all and read and played everything. It is a cool feeling, as it would be difficult to have the same thing with the X-Men, for example, as they were created on 1963.
I felt the same for Generation X, which was MY new team on 1994. I saw the cast appear on an X-Men event, then get their own comic, I had the whole series (except for one issue) and the annuals and specials. I am happy to say that, for the most part, Generation X was a better product than the Imperfects.
At least it's better than Shadow The Hedgehog. I played that game again and it absolutely does not hold up.
Probably just blind childhood Nostalgia but to this day. I STILL love this game
For how much these villains were hyped up pre-release as this big addition to Marvel canon and all the tie in material like the comics EA did, I seriously can't remember a single thing about them outside Johnny Ohm actually having a pretty cool backstory and looking like a crazed Dr. Manhattan/Electro hybrid
That and Spider-Man swearing were the only things I took away from that game lol
We call that a web-slingin ass kickin.
Hey, I liked The Wink myself.
I remember all these fuckers, they are burned into my mind it's insane
My takeaway was it randomly having one of the better Venom designs, and a seriously underrated voice for them. The various random enemies and Solara also looked great.
Johnny Ohm is a really cool name... i forgot everything about this Game but him.
No matter what anyone says, Marvel Nemesis is one of my all time favorite games. I played it so many times with my family. The soundtrack alone makes it a classic!
that soundtrack is super underrated
Or the fact that human torch and Wolverine straight up murdered opponents😂
@@jestaalchaosborneWolverine's finisher was so brutal, the only thing saving this game from an M rating was the lack of blood/dismemberment. HT's was just hilarious; looked like some "FROM OFF THE TOP ROPE! Bawgawd... that man was not just broken in half but ENTIRELY ATOMIZED."
@@viscountrainbows2857 those cutaways tho😂
The soundtrack really is amazing, top notch level job. Gives the whole vibe the game needs and wants the player to feel while playing. Just the menu screen is enough to set the tone that you're not in a regular superhero adventure.
Legit loved this game as a kid, my friends and I would get together and play it all the time. We even got pretty good at performing what little combos the fighting system allowed you to do! Though the jankiness and glitches were absolutely 100% part of the fun
I still really love this game. The character's voices were top notch, it had a gritty comic book aesthetic, and the impacts looked like they hurt. The stage with the tank was completely imbalanced, heavily favouring characters like Magneto, who could pick it up and chuck it at the enemy several times until they died.
"Mind over matter baby. I don't mind and you don't matter."
14:30
As I recall, ONE Imperfect did show up in a group shot for a comic (I think it was AvX?) because of a miscommunication between the writer and artist. Turns out having 2 characters named Hazmat leads to confusion.
I remember picking this up with Ultimate Spider Man on the same day lol. I played this game so much with my cousin. The story mode was so tough and buggy but I made it through to the end just so I could unlock all the characters and even to this day I still have this game in collection and whenever my cousin comes over I still play it with him. The versus mode in this game was actually really good and fun as heck.
I loved this game. Spent probably a hundred or more hours just making my own stories with the versus mode on my own (thank you character unlock cheat!) I never got past the Wink (can’t believe I remember her name) versus Wolverine fight in the campaign though, her damn teleportation was impossible to predict for child me!
I always love the Imperfects backstory. It was metal when I was a kid. Heck, it ages well too. You really don't get stories like this anymore with modern Marvel.
Midnight Suns I guess is comparable.
I actually want the Imperfects and Destiny crew from XMAN Destiny to return in an Xman game
This was the first game I remember playing as a kid and thinking, "Wow, this combat isn't fun." Now I'm a sad adult.
I loved it, but I was also 10
This is a game I played as a child, forgot about then was baffled when I discovered it again years later.
Honestly I have a lot of good memories of playing it back in my early teens, but thinking back it was with a bit of a mess when it came to game play. Especially when most of my local player matches devolve into us just chunking pieces of the stage at each other or spamming the long-range attacks as IronMan Venom or Paragon(She was super broken lol) but I remember having a lot of fun with even in the story mode.
I honestly liked this game as a kid, I thought the Imperfects were rather neat. Though I also really loved Power Stone and I think having another similar fighter really helped out because I'm not very good at fighting games - this was pretty simple to pick up and play for me!
Same, I enjoyed playing it with one of my friends as a kid. I still think about the Frankenstein guy who is made up of a bunch of dead soldiers from time to time. Really disturbing yet cool concept, lol.
The cutscenes which gave an origin for each Imperfect were perfection 👌🏽
I remember playing the story. It was super frustrating, but the verses mode was a lot of fun.
I bought this game when I first got my GameCube 2004. I still have it right here! And still love it😊
Now that the Post-Blade, Post-Matrix, Black Leather'n'Nu Metal era of superheroes is in the rearview mirror with 15 years of MCU between; I think the Imperfects are kinda charming, in their weird little way.
Fun fact, apparently Marvel completely owns the rights to the Imperfects to this day.
Apparently years later after the game the Hazmat from the game got mistakenly used as a background character in a scene when it was supposed to be a different character named Hazmat.
This is the ruby colored glasses talking, but my roommate and I had some hilarious moments playing this game, from Storm being absolutely busted, to being Venom and power bombing off the rooftop levels for an instant win. I vote this game to be at next year's EVO side tournament lol
Yeah, it was very janky and unbalanced but that was part of the fun
This game was such a guilty pleasure. I wasn't even interested in the game until I played a demo as Johnny Ohm. Bought a used copy for 10 bucks, and I was surprised at how intense the combat was, especially when it came to the interactive environments.
I played the game as a young child and I had fun. Then I grew older to a teen and I still enjoyed the hell out of that game. I’m sure if I play now as a 21 year old, I’m gonna have a blast playing it again.
This game was so good! I played it so much with my siblings and friends. I always hoped for a sequel and I always hoped there would be a rerelease. It really was a fun game.
YES FINALLY. This was my favorite game as a kid.
I remember this being my go to game as a kid. I only knew 1 person from this game ( Spider-Man ) and my friends and I would be so happy whenever Spider-Man said “ now that’s what I can a web slinging ass kicking “ . I wish I could go back man.
Funny enough, I absolutely loved this game as a young teen, and the Imperfects themselves were my favorite part ABOUT it. I always wondered why they never showed up again, so this was a pretty neat thing to learn about ^^
Upon hearing Marvel vs EA for the first time, I imagined something like the Mario sports games where you play real sports with superpowers and nothing is very serious. You can imagine how disappointed I was when I learned what was actually being developed
A shame we don’t get games like this anymore. Fun little versus mode superhero games. Not something like injustice.
I actually had a ton of fun playing this game with my friends. You cam do some unbelievable moments in vs. The dodge actions are epic, throwable items, in a 3d arena
Unfortunately the single player sucks. And you have to play single player to unlock everybody
Actually you don’t, a new character will unlock for every 10 versus matches you complete. You don’t even need to win them either, you can just start a match, quit and repeat ad nauseum until everyone is unlocked.
@@ElSandwich777I wonder if this is more design oversight, or the devs taking pity on people who quit the story mode and just wanted to box for free in versus without an arm and a leg tied behind their back for more of the Nintendo Hard mission objectives and decidedly unfair boss fights.
Oh man, this game. I remember begging my parents for it, being a Marvel fan and all, I was so hyped. That Christmas I got 2 games. Rise of the imperfects and Prince of Persia, Warrior Within...I don't think I have to say which of the two endured in my mind as one of my all time favorites.
That said, I think the imperfects have a lot of potential and would LOVE to see them return with a better game and some slight redesigns.
Hearing my favorite superhero Spider-Man saying “That was some Web Slinging , Ass Kickin” was the best thing ever
I love this game so much. I could still pop it in and have a great time. The gameplay captivated me, and the art style being dark, gritty and stylistic unlike what we typically saw with these characters are something I miss.
2:52 the Minute I heard those horns, I went looking for a ride
I didn't mind this game as a kid but going back to it... Holy crap!
The mix of up close and long range meant that Daredevil and Elektra throwing knives and their clubs could work from across the stage. In the 2 player mode it basically meant that the advantages range from which ones were able to lift cars and which ones had long range attacks. I don't remember if anyone had both but it basically meant if you picked a character who couldn't do either like Wolverine you'd be fighting a very uphill battle while your opponent would be spamming moves.
I loved this game as a kid. I replayed it like a million times and I played it with my brother a lot.
I loved this game as a kid, jank and all. It was just fun playing as such an absurd crossover of various Marvel Characters. Johnny Ohm's hover ability is broken as hell, in addition to the main imperfect Paragon just essentially being an invincibility code if you simply avoided being hit and connect all your attacks. And for the love of me I could never consistently pull off the finisher moves but of course, the computer made sure to make me look like a PUNK by flexing on me with moves that could literally disintegrate me.
I loved this game as a kid. I used to have crazy fights with my dad in it. I think I owned 3 copies at one point lmfao.
I remember playing this game with my cousins, and at some point I showed them how to do air combos, because they sucked.
One of them became a little better, but the other one kinda couldnt do it, and sticked to the "punch your enemy when he is on the ground to oblivion" technique

9:20 “heh! I always love that one.” Has the same energy as a cashier pretending to laugh at the billionth time somebody said “I guess it’s free!” When an item won’t scan.
Yo this game smacked back in the day! I wish they'd bring this back 😭
Ah yes, the episode I thought you already did is now a reality!
I also could have sworn I watched this already. Why did I think he did one for this already? Maybe he did a gameplay or something.
Please, can you make a video about Crash of the Titans or Crash Mind Over Mutant?
I actually had the PSP version and it was pretty fun for me as a kid. I liked how you could bounce around the arena take advantage of the elevation. It was a pretty alright game.
Played this in my late teens. It is janky, unattractive, unbalanced and a stupid kind of grim dark. But it was also a lot of fun.
My favourite to play as was Magneto. Just tossing the entire stage piece by piece at the opponent never got old.
Great episode.
Just love the idea of a more grounded, technically powerless (unless we consider his super hearing/echolocation as such) hero like Daredevil being able to square up with a man with the ability to fly who can become literally engulfed in an entire aura of flame... just by throwing trash cans at him repeatedly.
Fun is all that matters.
For some reason when I was a kid I had HORRIBLE nightmares from the intro? Something about the found footage style it went for, and something about hulk in it really unsettled the hell out of me. SUCH a classic though, thanks for covering! What a nostalgia trip.
This was the game! Had a blast going through story and fighting with my family in Versus. This was game truly a treat. Imperfects could have easily come back in Guardians comic or something,
I think this game is still pretty fun. Yeah sure it has its few issues but I enjoyed playing this game back then when I was a kid to now. I like this dark tone they were going for. I always thought that Johnny Ohm and Hazmat are cool looking characters to play as. I have been making Nemesis content for about a year or two now.
The Imperfects may fit their namesake, but I liked Solara: Genuinely the best looking of them. The game also, randomly, has one of the better-looking Venom's, with what must be their most underrated voice.
I got this and Mario Kart: Double Dash on the same day. I played the hell out of both, this game like 5 times through. Made a Mii of Hazmat. It's cool to see all of the love for this game, since 2006 I've felt like I was the only person who's played it lol.
I remember getting this, thinking it was gonna be a cool 3D fighting game kinda deal. Instead it's more of an awkward Power Stone kinda thing. If someone could throw the environment at you, you won for free. People like Magneto were super broken because all you had to do was yeet a car at the other person and see their life bar vanish like magic.
Can't forget that in typical comic edge-tacular fashion, after playing a set of missions in the story, the game has you pick which of the heroes you already played as is going to job and be actually no-joke murdered by one of the Imperfects, which you will play as, to show how cooler and stronger they are.
Is Shadow the hedgehog ever gonna get a "what happened"?
Hey Matt, here are some games I'd love to see you make an episode about:
1. The Order 1886. While I think everyone at this point knows why, the how and what could be interesting.
2. The 3rd Birthday. Parasite Eve is just a super slept on series imo, but the last entry did a lot to bury it. Wasn't totally without merit though.
3. Hotline Miami 2. Easily the one I want the most, if for no other reason than to get more people talking about this game. It was kinda savaged when compared to the original, but has seen some positive resurgence over the years. To whomever reads this, if you've never played this game, this is an immediate must. Definitely play the original first though lol.
I remember playing this with my dad, and one of the characters victory screen was “let’s open a can of whoop ass” AND THE FEAR THAT RAN THROUGH MY BODY BECAUSE THE GAME CURSED IN FRONT OF MY PARENT
Marvel Nemesis is one of my favorite games. I played that all the time when I was young.
Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story DX: What Happened
Paper Mario Sticker Star what happened. The game that started the new worse era of the franchise.
Maybe Matt could make a What Happened on Alphadream, as they closed down less than a year after BISDX was released.
Me: I remember all the ads for this game, why did I never play it?
The video: "Sly Cooper 3 and Ultimate Spiderman"
That'll do it.
I had fun with this game as a teen, but it definitely was... imperfect.
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting an episode on this game. I remember playing this a bunch back in the day, and I’m surprised people know about it.
"We got the Marvel license of iconic characters. What should we do?"
"...Kill them and make our own characters"
One of the most disrespectful games ever made
Bro this game was my F****** childhood! I remember playing this all the time on the OG Xbox at my moms house and on the PS2 at my dads house. Thank you for giving this game a video and for unlocking my inner child for a hot minute.
The Imperfects had some interesting stories but there wasnt much done with them as characters, save for maybe Paragon and the main villain. And even then, it felt like they pushed the Marvel characters to the side in the end as we see them gathered together as a team, despite them never acting like a proper team. A shame as some good stuff could have been done in between all the missions.
Also the DS version is broken. I played it out of curiosity and the AI kept doing combos to a wall before I killed them.
I enjoyed the mechanics of the fighting, traversing, the difference in characters, the environmental destruction, as well the soundtrack was pretty cool too.
EA made there own fanfic characters just to take a dump on the Marvel characters you grew to love. I remember seeing an ad of this when I was 6 years old and thought it was going to be awesome. But years later I'm thankful that I didn't get this game.
The opening cutscene shows The Punisher, Hulk and Captain America being Alien 3'ed. Seriously! When will media stop pulling that cliché Alien 3 started.
It sucked. This is what happened.
This is one of my favorite games growing up and all honesty, I constantly think about Johnny Ohm and the way he pulled lightning from the sky. Favorite character of the game by the way.
Oh my God, I played this game exactly once on PS2 back in 2005 and all I remember is the enemies being stupid hard, the physics making no sense, and me constantly wondering who were these new villains and why they looked so lame. Thanks for bringing back bad memories, Matt!
I always thought Johnny ohm was sick af
I honestly didn't even know this was a thing. Up until today, I thought the Inhumans were Marvel's most pointless attempt at a superhero team.
Wow! Did I just watch a Matt McMuscles video about a Marvel property without a single "SHOCKERRRR!!!!!!"?
Phuc yea! Always happy to see a What Happend in my sub box... when its Matt McMuscles at least.
This is quickly become one of my favorite TH-cam series. Keep up that awsome work Matt!
I remember playing this at a friend's house on his Xbox. The story mode sucked SO MUCH thanks to characters designed for one-on-one combat, meaning taking on lesser baddies was THE WORST since your attacks could only take on one maybe two minions while you where constantly getting swarmed by others in your weak spots... that is by the ones who DIDN'T use projectiles attacks from off screen thanks to the horrible camera! Even if you just focused on the vs mode, it got dull pretty fast.
Kudos to your editor because he do an amazing job. I laughed at Marvel as the Watcher and Magneto with trumpets hahahah
Now knowing about the origins of el guapo in the marvel universe, EA could’ve made a SSX tricky game with all marvel characters with boards and have eddy,Mobey, and billy Zane go across the universe racing to save their lives and the world.
This game was ahead of its time I loved it so much thanks for going back to my childhood with this one
I grew up with this game on the GameCube, so I do have a nostalgic soft spot for some of the Imperfects.
I completely remembered playing with my dad and 2 brothers. One of them played Spiderman because of his win quote.(which I won't say it here.)
I remember the bug where you'd just fall off of the bridge and unlock all characters one by one
This game on PSP was the first time i'd seen the character Iron Man long before he became a household name with Marvel Studios
Yooo! This was one of my favorite games growing up!
One of my all time favorite PSP games lol thanks for doing a video on this fever dream of a title, it was very nostalgic
That bloody roar primal fury theme during the intro though 😍
Pure nostalgia.
Thx for helping me find out about games I never would’ve known existed with these videos
To quote GodzillaMendoza here "Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects is one of those weird comic book themed games you hear about that was an underdeveloped premise pitched to a publisher that made it halfway through development and then they kinda just gave up on it forever and it never came out. Except it came out!"
I loved this game as a kid. The combat, while very imprecised, was still a lot of fun for me and my brother. We struggled so hard with the story mode. I don't remember if we ever finished the story but we at least made it to the final chapter playing as Paragon. This game was also my first exposure to Iron Man and I realized how cool he was. Him and Magneto were my favorite characters in this game. Unsurprisingly, all of the Imperfects were really uninteresting.
surprisingly my fav version of this game was on the psp because i feel like the rear view camera was way better than the top down view we got on the consoles
I LOVED this as a kid, especially that Spider-Man line
dude that vampire masquerade redemption game was fun
Hazmat does show up in Avengers Vs The Marvel Universe.
But that's because the artist got confused when the script called for Jennifer Takeda's Hazmat. A very different character.
So at least Mr. It-is-my-curse-to-be-alive exists in a Marvel Universe outside the game. He was also probably eaten by the feral cannibal cavemen that the heroes in that universe became.
Loved this game as a kid. Was really weird how nothing came out of this (loved playing Thing and Venom).
I loved this game back in the day. It was one of 3 games me and my then best friend used to play all the time
