shut the frick up. weve had more than enough games with shit OC characters and its always variations of popular powers to the point its less creative than if they just used an existing character.
Nah the X-Men are mostly lame.
They have a handful of kinda cool characters, but that's it. The villains outside of Magneto suck, too (and even he isn't that great).
I'm pretty sure they just made one and nobody bought.
Superhero RPGs never take, for some reason. RPG fans are never given the customization they want, and superhero game fans don't want to play as some literally who with incredibly gay powers (like in Midnight Suns), they wanna play as Spiderman and Wolverine. Who is it even for? An X men RPG in the vein of persona is a fine idea but the question of target audience remains. These re three groups of buyers who really don't overlap that much. Ultimate Alliance was played by the same type of kid that playe dMortal Kombat and 2k. Spiderman games are peak normiecore. Persona is for weebs and jarpiggers. The first group is not gonna buy a game because you can go on dates with Shadowcat, and the second game isn't going to wan't to spend 40% of game time catching rare bio samples for Beast, and the last group isn't gonna tolerate a 60 hours game about dcapeshit they don't care about.
You mean Midnight Suns? That game was kind of a clusterfrick in regards to whom it was supposed to appeal to. It sure wasn't a classic RPG, it wasn't an X-COM game, it wasn't a card game, it wasn't what most marvel obsessed normalgays want out of a marvel game, etc.
It wasn't bad, but it sure did assemble from a bunch of smaller parts that each hampered it's mass market appeal.
It was for no one. A Marvel themed X COM should be an easy enough sell, until you consider that all of those marvel squad games have been real time action games and not turn based strategy games where encounters can be an hour long.
Making it a Bioware RPG was an insane decision, though. That filters the XCOM fans that were your core base.Then you have the deck builder stuff and the mobile game loops (you need to refill your energy bar before coming back to this location). Idk, that game was definitely something killed in the board room.
Hopefully they stop trying to reinvent the wheel with Superhero games. Press X to win and swing around NYC with Spiderman, then remake Ultimate Alliance forever. Nothing else works.

Yeah, because Superhero concepts and RPG concepts don't mix. Superheros don't have a grab bag of powers, they have one interesting ability. Try building a game around a selection of narrow abilities that
1. Cannot overlap with the rest of the cast
2. Are interesting enough for the casual gamer to buy your game even though he can't have metal claws or shoot fireballs.
>Would you play an X-Men RPG?
That’s highly dependent on a lot of things. I’m not against the idea but you could very easily frick it up and make it shit too.
I hate the idea of a custom character because it would only limit potential fallow up to the game. I'd prefer just a more generic character who people could self insert as instead. IDK maybe make him an unnatural white, black or grey color so every race can self insert as him.
>ex-men
Why would anyone want to play a game about trannies
Beavis and Butt-Head did that exact joke 3 decades ago, try harder.
mad troony
Seethe harder moron, this was printed in 94.
>troony is so mad he abandoned his own thread so he can search for a comic panel for 40 mins
lol lmao ywnbaw
Seek help.
>words words words
trannies can't meme
>food analogy
There were already two of them on PS2.
No. I don't like capeshit.
Yeah probably. If I got to customize them with gear and mix and match genetic traits and equip cool gear and so on.
I'm not interested in the comics at all. Keep it all OC with only cameos from the """iconic""" characters.

I'd rather have that than 10 comicbook marry sues with 3 personality traits to share per sex.
I did back in the 7th gen. That shit was terrible.
>X-Men RPG?
my brain can only associate this with the starcraft custom maps.
The video was fine but his game design ideas were kinda stupid

I don't understand the point of making a mystic themed Marvel game but use mostly none supernatural heroes.

i'd play an x-men jrpg, sure. always leave it to japs.
already played all 3 of them and would play another if it was released.
Oh yeah the video this was referencing

I wanna play as Spider-Man and get a secret ending.
