First, I have a little cousin. His name is Timmy. I like Timmy, he understands my video game banter. He plays lots of video games. Once, we were talking and he said the word "verse" as in "will you verse me in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3?" No Tim, I will not, because that is not only not a word, but it also wouldn't be a verb. Two often people see the symbol "vs." and just say "verse" that is wrong, it is an abbreviation for the word versus.
Now to the game. My fist teen rated game was Capcom: fighting evolution. I liked it a lot, it held my attention, was it a good game? meh. Marvel Vs. (versus) Capcom 3 is very similar. In that I mean that you need to keep the controls page open on your lap for the first two weeks playing. It would be easier to control a nuclear generator while drunk than get Captain America to do "Hyper stars and stripes."
I don't really like fighting games, but MVC3 is about as good as they're going to get. Once you get into it, you can do the controls, but it's only fun with friends, and once you do that you're "that guy" That guy that in wanting to unlock all the characters for his friends has become unstoppable and un-fun to play with. Also, the plot is unveiled by unlocking video clips, I don't know about the rest of you, but when I play video games, I like to contribute to a story, that's what sets them apart from normal TV. Games like MVC3 are like guessing to "Who wants to be a millionaire?" You're technically playing, but no one gives a rat's ass and you could make more money by selling cars that instead of staring when you turned the key, punched you in the face.
My grievances with the characters, Who the F@#$ are half of these guys? The problem with games like these are the designers are fanboys of the origional, so most of the Capcom characters that haven't had a game in thirty years are playable characters that you will never play as. Also, I think all the female Capcom characters are S and M prostitutes in their spare time, because there is about a square inch of clothing among them. Who is Ryu? who is the cat lady with unrealistically jiggly breasts? Why should anyone care? The Marvel characters are why normal people buy this game, not the washed-up fighters turned prostitutes.
MVC3 is fun though, I like to play it with my brother, and if you get really good with one character, you can watch your fighting style change over time. I reccomend it to anyone who can rub a controller on their dog. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to make sure someone isn't ogling the cat-lady while my game is paused.
