X-Men: Destiny Thread

[Havok83]

Were the preorder bonuses ever posted? I dont remember. Anyway, here's what you get

Amazon: Emma Frost inspired costumes

Gamestop: Havok inspired costumes. With the suit, you'll "be able to equip the exclusive Havok X-gene, granting plasma-based power enhancement to their attacks, the ability to stun enemies through energy absorption and increase their damage output over time".

and boxart

The nerd in me wants to nitpick that half-and-half thing since it should technically be Prof. X instead of Cyclops, but I'll take all the Cyke love I can get these days.

Yes, I know what I said.

 

[Havok83]

Who the heck is that blonde on Magneto's side?

 

[Nathan]

I'll assume Quicksilver.

 

[YoungE808]

lol probably Quicksilver

 

[jacobed]

Quicksilver

Man, I love the idea of the game, I just hate how lackluster everything looks. When is the release date again? I might rent it to see if it's worthwhile.

 

[jacobed]

September 27th i believe. Id buy it cuz I think it looks awesome but thats only a week after Gears so I'll wait

I feel the same way. Great idea, but the three player characters look awful. I really wish they just gave you the option to create your own.

That first Havok inspired dude looks pretty bad ass.

Might have to drop a preorder just in case the game is decent so i can secure that outfit/powers.

 

[Matt]

He's not bad without the tattoos, IMO.

 

[El Bastardo]

Space Marine now, Arkham City in a ~a month and a half. I dunno, I might actually give this a snag. $10 credit from Amazon, too.

 

[socool]

The first two characters look alright, but this guy...this guy looks as dumb as an Ox. The game would benefit without him.

 

[terry78]

You need one big guy to balance out the angsty emo guy.

I can't even begin to make sense of that.

 

[Jick]

Seriously.

And the box-art looks like something from the PS2.

 

[El Bastardo]

Nah. PS2 box art wasn't that stylized. It was usually pretty flat, even when trying to not be. This box art certainly is not hyper-detailed, but it does possess a resemblance to the box art of the Ultimate Alliance games, at least off the top of my head.

 

[Ipodman]

Box art looks fine... altho they should have just removed the 3 unknown characters at the bottom... then people will be tricked into buying this game

 

[Nathan]

I'm disappointed by the character design. Wolverine looks the worst to me.

Plastic pokey claws?

Quicksilver looks like he could potentially be a younger Doc Brown from Back to the Future.

 

[Ipodman]

The title itself looks really weird... I rather the X don't cover the M and Destiny could be shifted in more

 

[Havok83]

I really hope it does well and is alot better than most of us think bc for better or worse this is the first X-men game we've gotten in 5 years and hopefully it wont be another 5 till we get another. Im not holding out much hope but we can only hope this is a surprise hit

It's everything. In the screens I've seen of him, he looks like someone wearing a cheap Halloween costume. I wish they would have went with MUA2's design. After all, they ripped Juggernaut almost straight out of that game I believe.

I think I'm going to give it a try. I couldn't care less about graphics, in the end equation, and the little bit of gameplay I've bothered to watch looks fun.

Plus, Mike Carey. I'm good with that.

Really? I can't speak about Juggernaut, since I never bought him for MUA2. But the image gallery I'm looking through - Wolverine's a bit shiny, but he didn't look that bad. Certainly looks worse on the cover.

I think they were great. Specially the X-Men Legends covers.
And now that I look back again, I still think they look much better:
