@UltraBiel, I don't recall mentioning MVC2, which was good(while the gameplay was broken and had loads of infinites, that's another story) but MVC2 was far better then MVC3. MVC3, was more or less a button masher the story wasn't great overall and I hate Capcom's greed with making 10 versions of the same game, instead of just using DLC like most games...
Anyway, concerning the Avengers point they put them in there because Marvel of late has been all about Avengers...the X-men movies people didn't like that much or were disappointed but notice Iron Man, Thor, etc people took way more interest in of late then you have the movie last year so they figured let's put in Avenger characters. A logical move but still, the story within the game was average at best. I'll even say X-Men Next Dimensions while the game was bad, the storyline was better overall then MVC3. It's not the same character list in DC games, you obviously never played DC Online? It has a LOAD of people not just Superman, Batman, WW etc. And what are you talking about? I can say the same thing int he first two MVC games like wolverine, storm, spiderman etc even MVC3 brought them back plus a few avengers(big whoop)
Marvel hasn't made an established game overall that can come anywhere close to Batman :AS or Batman: AC...the game is considered the best comic book game ever made thus far...for a reason. Task Force sucked, I have it. It's fun in a nostalgic way but more or less the Marvel Nemesis of DC games. MKDC didn't suck, the game itself was fun outside of a few issues(far less then MVC2 mind you) it wasn't as good as MK9 obviously...not even close but the storyline was at least well thought and they tried explaining it unlike MVC games where the story blows horribly...
Arcade games lol Marvel only had one from Konami, DC had none...so that's a poor comparison. Overall video game history wise, DC kills Marvel. Task Force, Batman, Superman etc vs. Xmen and Spiderman games which weren't arcade games, they were console games. All those nobody remembers, but once the DC and Marvel lego games came out, and Ultimate Alliance, Nemesis, Hulk Games, Superman games, Batman games, Batman, Rocksteady games, DC Online, JL:Heroes and now Injustice...it's really no comparison. DC clearly had better games overall compared to Marvel in the gaming world. You want to say Marvel has better on film movies, for the time being? Sure...but not video games...
I will wager Injustice sells more then MVC3 did, especially since MK9 did and that's not even a comic game. Granted, MK is a big game in the gaming world but still..it just proves Avengers aren't as big as people think. You have to remember, if not for the JL there would be no Avengers..
lol, you're talking about games based on movies? Uhh I have news for ya Marvel has also done it with

So yeah, I just killed your theory of "only DC makes games based off of movies" seriously if that's yoru best argument and you have no idea that Marvel has tried the same marketing gimmick after a movie then you're very ignorant. They ALL do it, most of the time it fails...despite DC or Marvel.

P.S. talk to me once Marvel makes a half way decent game that is anywhere close to Batman AC, DC Online or even MK vs. DCU and soon Injustice...
