Well arguably it was the most important DC TV show, certainly for several decades… and some of us are the right age for that to be our reference, instead of say the '90s Batman.
More importantly though, people stick with it because its funny. If given ‘Aquaman as a joke on lame superheros’ and ‘Aquaman as strong, but generic superhero’, its pretty natural that people will wanna stick with the former.
And seriously, the concept is kind of lame. Marvel only gets away with the Sub-Mariner because he’s always been an Asshole.
Depends on the version really, sometimes he is completely outclassed in h2h, sometimes he can put up a good fight. Heck in his first appearance he knocked batman out.
Personally I’d be be more interested in seeing something a bit more real-ish. Kinda like the Arkham Asylum/City games. Mechanics-wise I’m thinking something between a traditional 2D fighter and a sports fighter, with some new ideas to make it work.
But I guess that’s pretty risky. I imagine it will probably just be quite similar to MK.
Personally I always thought this is how it would go down. People might prefer namor, but aqua does follow the DC template of overpowered nonsense even if it is to a smaller degree.
They showed some gameplay on the gametrailers E3 stream. Right now the game looks like MK9 with DC characters. It showed some of the stage interactivity. Like in the Batcave stage you can use the teleporters that appear in the corner. Doomsday is in the background of the Fortress of Solitude stage.
I suspected it would be like a modified MK9 engine lol, not to shocked to hear this though and personally it already gives me hype that the game will turn out good.
I hate that thinking, but it’s true for most of DC so I can’t blame the batman fanboys for following along.
I like Batman in the JLA only as the battlefield coordinator, up in the watchtower, assigning orders and issuing commands and playing the greatest game of chess ever. Bat’s has no business ever going toe to toe with Darksied or other cosmic level baddies where no amount of training and anti-shark spray could save him.
I know this has been addressed before but people saying shit looks gimmicky and wont be good on a competitive level yet these are the same people who are ass deep in the UMVC3 Vortex trying to perfect there Zero/Wesker/Mag team.
Come on son b real…
And if this is anything like MK9 which it very much will be from what I’ve read an seen so far it will be a good game. MK9 is a solid game. Maybe not your type of solid but its a excellent fighting game overall.
Also people really need to overcome this " The game looks clunky & stiff " BS. You know what game is godlike but had some pretty stiff animations ST. After awhile of actually playing the game you wont mind it at all; and you’ll get into the motion of the movement & gameplay mechanics then the feel of the game begins to flow. Which many people tend to not take the time to adjust to and just stay away because of there level of tolerance of appealing to something that does not feel like a Capcom game.
I really think it’s down to that weird leftover hostility people have. Every single thing being said about this game was being said about MK before its release, and by the same people.
