I've been waiting for a really great Marvel or DC game forever... is it finally time?

I mean Spider-man 2 was fun (for it's day) and I enjoy Injustice for what it is... but a real story / action driven experience... has been conspicuously absent since the start of the MCU.

I think the Marvel licenses were owned by Activision until recently, now they're free again, and we're getting Insomniac's spiderman, and Square's Avengers games :D

Square Enix are awesome, also from Life is Strange :hee:

BIB, the Batman Arkham series has what you're asking for, especially the first two Games in the series.

True, I have played and enjoyed the Arkham series... However... The fact that I didn't think of it just reaffirms my prejudice towards Batman. I don't consider him to be a superhero :worry:. A hero, sure... But he doesn't have powaz so... It's not really a superhero game so much as a stealth / ninja game but with a costume. Same goes for Green Arrow and other "Street level" heroes like Daredevil, though he technically has some abilities.

Funnily enough I don't include Tony Stark / Iron Man because, although technically he's basically the same as batman (a normal guy using tech), when he's IN the suit his ability levels are elevated to the same level or above many of the others who have actual abilities...

But yeah. I'm talking SUPERhero games with actual powers... Tbh the only games that have come close to capturing that are InFamous and Prototype. The first Prototype is a flawed game but actually the ONLY game I can think of where they've captured a sense of having real power. It just seems... Wrong...
