does anybody want an X-men legends 3?
i don't think this thread has been done before, as i checked, so here it goes....
firstly, i think marvel should listen to its x fans, i, personally feel a bit let down that, after posting a teaser for a possible third installment (sinister at the end) it was simply left, while they focused on marvel ultimate alliance. not that its a bad game or anything, but ultimate alliance had just 3 x-men. one of which, inevitably, was wolverine. (though they did introduce character packs for some consoles).
if marvel were to do a third installment, these would be my suggestions. i think there should be a bigger cast , as there weren't that many choices, in the first we had people like jubilee, whose powers were the same as at least two other characters, and in the second installment, all they could think of was to include IRON MAN, while taking out others like emma frost and beast (kind of).
i would also ask for the powers to become more individual, so as to avoid the repeat powers performances of jubilee/gambit and nightcrawler/deadpool.
some characters i'd like to see make an appearance as playables would be:
polaris, havok, emma frost (though better than in 1st installment), dazzler, rachel summers (maybe have her to replace jean, while she becomes the dark phoenix), shadowcat (don't know how her powers can be adapted to put in the game, but it would be great), forge (sick of seeing himjust being a by stander), cable (maybe have different skins as him when he was more weapons orientated, and when he had more access to his powers, individually), banshee (especially after we've already seen him in the second game so far).
thats all for now, i'll post some more another time, feel free to criticise any of my ideas if you want to, and if you know of this article already being done, then can a mod please delete/merge it as appropriate.
i'm not criticising but i grotesquely dispise Rachel and want nothing to do with her. plus, wouldn't having her, Cable and Jean in the same game be kind of repeative? they are all psychics albeit Cable is more of a technopath now and greatly underpowered.
Havok would be a repeat Cyclops IMO. And like you said, what would Shadowcat be able to do as well as Banshee, eventhough I want him as a Playable character as weell?
Polaris, a better Emma, Dazzler, and my boy Forge would be great characters. some other one's could be Magma again, Sunfire again, Petra, although her and Magma might be a repeat because of the whole "earth" thing, Changling, Cannonball and M.

In the mean time, I never DID see that anime where I unintentionally got my name from. Is it any good

i'm thinking you could get rid of jean in some way, either that or simply improve her, as, frankly, for an omega mutant, she sucks. rachel, well, i'm not sure i would introduce her unless jean was disposed of first.
if they did bring magma back, then i really think they should get rid of some of those stupid abilities, like the rocks, from the first one.
some other characters then:
rogue (though less suckish), same with gambit, cannonball definitely, lifeguard maybe? she could be quite a good character if they did her properly, blink could maybe be brought in, but then you have the problem of what attacks she could actually use, as she's no nightcrawler in the physical department. psylocke should be reintroduced as well, as in the first game her play time was limited and she was pretty rubbish, while she wasn't even in legends 2.

as to your cable argument, maybe they could incorporate the skins to different powers, so you could have the more pumped up weaponised version as one, or his more psychically oriented side as another, that way, you could account for whatever one people prefer.
I hope they do, and enhance the graphics and power ranges, I don't really care if the cast doesn't get much bigger, as long as the power variation increases
__________________ Ideas, are the sole things driving humanity.
Agree completely on power variations. Each character should have special attention payed to them. It was the same deal in Ultimate Alliance, all those characters sharing variations on like 15 different powers. Of course Wolverine got his own system with the whole rage thing, bleh.
of course there should be an x-men legends 3. me personally, i want to see more of the x-mansion. in fact, the more places to explore, the better. I could definitely see a dark pheonix storyline where she is the final boss, but it doesn't matter what storyline they chose, i'll still buy the game. i also agree with an increased power variation. (especially for Storm lol)
* i want more X-characters, the more the better... dispose Ironman, he's nice to play but the game is a freakin' X-men game... if they like Ironman that much, then create an Avenger game with Avenger characters, just exclude the uber-powerful ones like Thor, Sersi, etc., so the game would be more balanced... i'll purchase that one too!
* and i hate the traps, i just think they are useless...
* remove the useless, repetitive, corny, crappy powers/abilities... replace with cool and of course more useful one...
* more skins/costumes, and i mean more... they did not include most of the classic costumes designed by Jim Lee and it's more distinguished than the other uncool costumes... Psylocke should have that sexy blue costume like Elektra...
* Cyclops is my favorite, having Optic Beam and Focused Beam is really repetitive... Optic Slam is not that impressive, Fusion Beam is cool, Polarized Beam and Optic Flash are very innovative... and i would like to suggest another Xtreme power for him, remove (okay, or retain) the Xtreme boost (Flawless Tactics) and replace (or add) it with Spatial Awareness -> a quick, short but powerful blast that ricochets in all directions, hitting almost all enemies in one single shot dealing Critical hits & Radiation damage to each enemy... and that's cool!
He has a move like that except for the crit and radi effects in MUA. Ricochet shots, just keep tapping the button and he bounces super quick beams around. Its a crowd clearer, boss killer and room clearer.
I would like to see one,but with the way the second one ended I'm not sure if they could surpass the first two.
Their's more story's to tell for sure,but the way they set the first two up was so good,I think a 3rd could possibly be a let down.
