WRUP: Marvel vs. Capcom vs. Sanity

by Alexander Sliwinski on Feb 18th 2011 9:30PM

If you hated Seth from Street Fighter IV, he ain't got nothing in the repertoire (okay, maybe a couple of things) that comes close to the FightStick throw-inducing antics of Marvel vs. Capcom 3's big boss (spoiler). HULK SMASH!

What's everyone playing?

Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Trying to learn Marvel vs. Capcom 3. This weekend will determine if I have the patience.
Andrew Yoon (@scxzor): [...]
Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): My 360 is still busted, so I'm still creating a level (not nearly as exciting as Griffin's) in LBP 2. A buddy lent me 3D Dot Game Heroes, so I'm hoping to dig into that as well.
Chris Buffa (@ChrisBuffa): Weather may be too warm this weekend for video games, but it seems like I am free this evening. Perhaps this is the best chance I'll have at some Dead Space 2. Then again, Best Buy is right across the street. MvC3?
Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): I've got more Undead Nightmare to finish up, and then I might do the co-op missions in Red Dead Redemption. I can't put it down. I can't move on.
David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I'll be continuing the adventures of my Dwarf commoner, Killmurder, in Dragon Age: Origins. He's actually a pretty nice guy, believe it or not!
Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): Pokemon Black. Too busy playing to write joke about it or form coherent sentence.
James Ransom-Wiley: Just "head games" for me this weekend.
JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): All this talk of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has me considering a purchase. Oh wait! I've played Super Street Fighter IV for maybe 15 minutes since picking it up. And I have Okamiden to play for review ... and I'll be out of town, away from the PS3, this weekend. You win again, logic.
Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): ['cationing]
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): I'm envisioning a lot of 4,732-hit combos in my future with Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): Racing through Fable 3, hoping to get it done before I have to leave for GDC in about a week.
Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): Me? I'll be playing the #$%@ out of Bulletstorm. Speaking of which, anyone have a @#$%*&! soap they recommend that's easy on $@#&*% the palate?
Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM) Curleh Mustache! And maybe some Dead Space 2, You Don't Know Jack or Demon's Souls.

I've been playing some Smack Down vs Raw 2011 lately. I don't think I'll be playing much. Gonna mix it up with reading and playing guitar. IF I'll play anything it'll be Deadly Premonition.

@TaintedKane

HOLY F**KIN' S**T!!!!...

WRUP = What R U Playing!!!!!!...

@SuzanoSho the drug dealer PSN Sm

Pretty sure I said Deadly Premonition and SvR 2011. Also just got Marvel vs Capcom 3

Nothing much for me just some Final Fantasy XIII. I'm also hoping to complete both Alan Wake DLC packs this weekend.

Thank God it's Family Day in Canada on Monday.

@MiceInATank

You gotta love "Family Day" spent playing video games. Just what they intended when they came up with this holiday, right?

@Uncle Jesse As long as you play some Coop (I'm thinking of playing some Gears 2 or Reach) it's all good :P

@MiceInATank

What the hell is a Family Day?

And yes, I'm Canadian too.

@Colin hahaha

@Colin

Oh, ok, looks like they have Family Day in almost every province but Nova Scotia. I didn't realize there were holidays I was missing out on. How depressing.

I have somehow missed Minecraft for all this time.
Guess what I'll be playing.

@KirbyCommando

if you hear a sudden "SSSSssss" sound prepare to OMGWTFBBQSAUCE... oh and watch out for Herobrine.

@PR0F3TA
Already happened.
"Tum te tum, I'll make a house."
"Oh, look, it's nighttime."
(No torches)
"What's that sound?"
OMGWTFBBQ
You have died.

@KirbyCommando

lol sounds like my first night too... except i ran from the Creeper just to run into another creeper only to end up getting double OMGWTFBBQSAUCE'd

@KirbyCommando

First night I hunted and killed one with a log....then his 50 friends showed up.

Rift open beta.

Not playing as much now because I'm just waiting for launch.

Bought MvC3 on release and sold it today,i'm just starting to get too old to keep up with the pace this game sets and really didnt realize i didnt have the patients untill i had already bought it and played for awhile.

Shame i really played the hell out of MvC2 on Dreamcast back when.

@SgtDookie For shame! I remember playing MvC2 in the arcades and kicking @$$ left and right with Omega Red on my team. I feared I wasn't going to like MvC3 since I hardly touched MvC2 on my 360. Thankfully I bought MvC3 on the PS3 and the controller is much better and I'm enjoying it just like when I was kid with quarters in my pocket getting ready to play "Children of the Atom".
I guess even though I'm older I still love these fast paced games, sad you already sold your copy but at least you'll have fond memories of MvC2.

@The angry pro consumer gaming ga
Im very glad you and many others are enjoying it.I really wish i could handle it but i just cant.

@SgtDookie

I've been playing it since Tuesday, and still don't know if I even like it. That is starting to annoy me. I was hoping MvC3 would give me my fighting game fix until Mortal Kombat came out, but I'm not sure if this will do.
hrrmmm..

@SgtDookie
I'm in the same boat. I played MvC2 until my brain turned to sludge and yet MvC3 just isn't turning my crank. I can't find any specific reason to dislike the game but it's really failing to keep my attention.

Well once I get my PlayStation emulator to work I will be playing LSD and when I'm not playing that I shall be playing Rome:Total War

@Bigboss815

duuudeeee LSD. Seriously that game creeped the hell out of me, there is this figure that follows you and random sh!t happens out of no where. Prepare to lose sleep.

@Bigboss815
LSD should get an HD makeover :P

Harmonix are good at visual effects (Beatles: Rock Band ;)

Finishing up Alpha Protocol for the Platinum Then Show My Friend The Move ( with the Fight And Sports Champions And Ecochrome 2 Demo ) then Install DCUO Sunday

Minecraft.

And Back to the Future on PS3.

Fun!

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze

cool you play MC too... you on any servers?

@PR0F3TA

Not yet, no. I mainly just tool around in my own little worlds. And then delete them, because I'm never satisfied. =/

well, i didnt like MVC 3 so i sent it back., so i will be playing halo reach multiplayer, unless mass effect 1 starts looking good

I'll be playing Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Street Fighter IV, and possibly God of War III this weekend...courtesy of Futureshop's warranty product replacement which gave me a gift card.

Prinny 2... dood

@skyblaze

Is it really all about unfair deaths? I've been waiting for the a discount on the psn store.

@TheDread

Those reviewers were just complaining about the game being too hard for them and covered it up with the typical "unfair death" excuse. The game is fine, I love it to death and have beaten it multiple times. It's a very [very] hard game, definitely, but it's by no means unfair. Give it a shot =D

Semi attempting to rummage my way through the Two Worlds 2 campaign with a sibling. Monday Night Combat, and TDU2 until Bulletstorm

I had to let Galactus kill me so I could get his ending. He's really easy if you aren't a total dumbass and know to block if he moves. I've never seen a more projecting boss in my entire life.

Finished Dead Space 2, it was pretty intense. I thought it was much harder than the first one on equivalent difficulties. Still ploughing my way through Resonace of Fate, finally made it to Neverland. Then there is AssCreedBro's also keeping me bussy.

Dead Nation tonight. Maybe some Blur tomorrow night in memory of the pumpkin heads. Getting geared up for Killzone 3 release. It will be my first game purchase since Hot Pursuit.

Definitely some Mass Effect 2 (how I love thee), some NHL 10, and maybe finish up Stacking with the wife, she loves that one.

Got some LBP 2 to play :D

For the record, I'm terrible at traditional fighters and I have very few issues with the last boss. Once you discover how to block his attacks it isn't too difficult. Throw in X-Factor and a crossover combos and he's a pushover.

Also, I'm playing MvC3, perhaps some Alan Wake and FFXIII. I need to work through a decently large backlog.

I've been railing on valve for the past few day but vie made this weekend my game jot played weekend so...LFD2.

Tiger woods as well.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 and split screen CoD:Blops with the friends

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and more Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.

Yes, the game is not very deep and I beat the arcade mode on easy in 30 minutes.

But I've spent more time finding the perfect combination of fighters and trying to get better. Spidey/Wolverine/Deadpool are perfect....no wait, it's Dante/Chris/Akuma. No...

If I can find a way to tear myself from that, I may play more of LBP2 and Bayonetta. I may also get started on Metro 2033 as well although Darksiders is almost done.

@andrewpoe: I haven't even entered any other mode besides mission and training, but I put the comp. on Very Hard in training and I couldn't even touch them. At all. I can do all these ridiculous combos but I still have a long ways to go to become merely competent at this game.

@MGTrey

I've been playing online and training on Hard -- I've done very well in training on Hard, but I'm losing online.

I notice a lot of people are using Super Skrull and I find him to be rather cheap. Same with Dante, even though overall he's probably the best fighter to use.

@andrewpoe: If you're on Xbox, shoot me a friend request, we could have some friendly sparring matches with curleh mustaches and OP X-factor mango Sent.

@MGTrey

What's your Live tag? I'm assuming MGTrey?

Working out more intense combos in MvC3 and getting in a bit of multiplayer RDR which is just too damn addictive.

Getting re-aquanted with Portal, just to hype my self a bit for later this Spring. Just to let you guys know - that game is still brilliant.

Unlocked everything in Modnation Racers, so that can go back on the shelf. Still on my unfinished PS3 pile are Valkyria Chronicles and 3D Dot Game Heroes. Maybe VC is due for another chapter this weekend...

MineCraft... still. Done with the subway systems interior hub of cobblestone and iron/gold blocks... I scrapped my portal system in the nether because my nether portal drops me off in such a lame spot. how disappointing.

I have no idea what i'm gonna do next but if anyone wants to give me a few ideas, i'll def welcome them.
