Hi, Xavier if you see this I want you to know that you're an amazing person and the content you make is funny, Likable, and I wish you'll keep doing what you love the most. :)
So question what do you think about marvels avengers on PS4
@Herb Coswell It's free...
MCU revealed electro from The Amazing Spider 2 is in tom holland’s spider-man 3. Can you do a video on your thoughts on that
I’m hype for any review from the GOAT, but where’s the avengers game review at?
Xmen legends walked so Ultimate Alliance could run .
Yup. UA 1 is great, last boss required Deadpool for me though.
I preferred both X-Men games and I'm disappointed we never got more
@@mysterycupofjoe2670 I used both Wolverine and Deadpool for healing factor. But apparently, Blade and Iron Man can also get one with certain outfits and upgrades. So, I basically always thought that crap was useless, but it's actually not. I've got to get a new copy though, my disc broke. Think I might get the Xbox one this time though because of Gold Edition. More characters equals more fun.
Nathaniel Foga deadass. I preferred this and UA over x-men legends 2.
And then Ultimate Alliance 2 fell and hurt itself Family Guy style... I'm kidding I actually loved that game
Fun Fact: Jean Grey can also make bridges using her telekinesis, I discovered that by accident the first time I played this game as a kid. Also Magma can make bridges out of lava once she's unlocked.
you can press and hold her telekinesis throw ability to levitate and control where you throw objects and enemies
Gambit and Jubilee can detonate environmental objects too
Storm, Jean and rogue can be pretty op in this one if you give them the right abilities and equipment if my memory is correct. Once their ep and ep regen are high enough you can spam the abilities with little worry about taking damage. Don't forget that rogue is a powerhouse and copies abilities like Megman.
Good to know...She's one of my favorite playable characters...Never occurred to me to try her powers on the bridge less paths
Ice man can make bridges of ice as well
He obviously was just in a bad place, this game is great, might be better than ultimate alliance.
Xavier: This game has been a pain in the-
[Gets an ad for Tik Tok]
Xavier: -ass.
Lol me too
Fun fact: Deadpool's first videogame appearance ever was in the second game. He was also voiced by John Kassir. Good times.
The problem I had with X-Men Legends was your characters don’t start to feel like their comic book counterparts until the final legs of the game. Then you beat Master Mold and it’s over, with no new game+ option or even a stage select. There is no way to start off with full powered up characters, which I feel was a major flaw.
@Alec L except Web of Shadows you should have all your unlock Powers halfway through the game and you don't need them to cause Mayhem
True. This gets fixed in the sequel.
Wow, that's absolutely awful...
It doesn't 'really' work as a fix, but I remember noticing that one specific training exercise in the Danger Room could reward the team with utterly silly amounts of XP to quickly level up. You could only get it after progressing though about half the game anyway however, and also need to play the same exercise multiple times.
Just use cheats. Ta da.
Funny story about the healing orbs when I was a kid I died against Mystique(first boss) numerous of times because I didnt know they can heal you
Also kids dont join a network theyre basically scams
16 hours ago?
Wait how did you make this comment 16 hours ago? WTF
Last Precursor patreon
@@jaytheartman610 that makes sense
Which network was he a part of?
This must've been X-cruciating for him to play through.
What an X-cellent pun
X-calators, am I right?
Ya'll are about to be X-terminated
2020s gonna X-ecute all of us
Thats X-actly what I thought
My first thought was "Really? I'm surprised he had a tough time with this one." until you mentioned the Sentinel mission and I got PTSD flashbacks of being stuck in an endless nightmare hell realm full of robot lasers and dead X-Men
So a regular nightmare for days of future past Logan
My thoughts exactly! And then I found out that the best way to get rid of sentinels was to have Wolverine slash at their feet
@@remylabeau5140 sameee. Easily the most fun character for me, I swear his healing factor carried me through the game
Goliath Jack right! Wolverine storm and Jean Grey were my favorites to play
Oh god, that mission is just.....what I would have given to have Jean Grey back on that mission, since I loved to use her the most, which made the characters a little more underleveled than I have liked. At that point in the game too was just a difficulty spike to have her absent. If you go in without Iceman and one of Storm or Cyclops, you are boned by the time you get to the welding mission. Iceman is literally the only character who can put out fires and build bridges, unless you upgrade Storm’s tornadoes, which is useful, but not preferable to the lightning strike that hits so much harder at any range.
Breaks my heart to hear that someone took advantage of you Xavier, I can't imagine the amount of mental strain you go thru to get one of these videos out. Just wanna say you are GREATLY appreciated, my favorite youtube creator, and that you seriously are just one realistic and talented dude! Look forward to seeing your next upload! I hope that u find some peace, and that your mental health will be able to improve! Please keep being you!
Thank you for the kind words. Having all that go down this year led to a lot of money troubles and I almost didn't make enough to sponsor my fiance's visa application so she could move here. Thankfully I still made enough but that was one of the most stressful situations I've been in. I'm incredibly happy to be out of that contract with that garbage MCN so I can start paying my bills again. Things have been a little better on that front in the past few months, so let's hope things keep improving!
@@GodzillaMendoza You are Straight up an inspiration man! Truly. To know that you had to deal with all of that and you still manage to get up and keep gettin those bills paid, AND you're working tirelessly to get your significant other here to be with you, while still maintaining your composure and working on content that is leagues better than what most people upload nowadays. Xavier I say excelsior to you, u truly are a hero in your own regard. Hold firm, I'm so happy to hear you're out of that situation now! Nowhere to go but up! Thank you for the bombsquad joke
GodzillaMendoza well I guess your even more like Spider-Man now
@Supreme Person There’s only circumstantial evidence against them, not enough to hold up in court unfortunately.
@@GodzillaMendoza what was the company? If that’s not insensitive.
8:35 The gamecube version actually does allow for multiple saves.
Wow, such advancement.
Every version gives up to 10 saves. Xavier's memory card was probably almost full
The Xbox version does save auto man
"Finally, a game where I can have my team roster be wolverine...and people he's slept with".
Me: haha
Me: *sees cyclops*
Me:wait.. *W U T*
I think there was a thing, a map or some shit, that was revealed showing that the bedrooms of Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Wolverine had secret doors connecting them. Make of that what you will.
@@GhostNappa2k10 ...
@@DJAwesomeYT He's referring to the current line of X-Men comics that are out (and are really fucking good). All the mutants reside on Krakoa and made it its own sovereign nation. The entire Summers family have their own house on the moon. Wolverine and Emma Frost live there too. Scott allows Jean to be with Wolverine, and Jean allows Scott to be with Emma.
Also, there is a place in Krakoa that is like a club and is mainly used to breed more mutants. Make of that what you will.
Unpopular Opinion: Hickman is no longer the writer he once was
The latest run sounds awful, I need to catch up, but I have not heard anything good about the latest issues, and don't want to judge without reading
This is creepy, I was just thinking about this game.
Believe or not this has happened to me multiple times
@@robafire9161 XD
Same
I’ve been wanting to replay the XMen legends1 and 2 for a while. My ps2 broke a while back, plus I don’t own the games either. It wouldn’t break the bank getting everything I need, but I just don’t feel like spending the money. Oh well. Hopefully a new XMen game comes along soon.
@@metalbrainmextrememetalent6810 you emulate it on pc or ps3 hen
Freaking loves this game put so many hours in. When the sequel was released put shit tons more and figured out how to unlock ironman. Xmen legends 1 and 2 were great wish we could get a remaster.
Wait, you can unlock Iron Man as a playable character in XL2?
@@legoking6165 yep you have to find pieces of his armor hidden around the game
Cool.
you learn something new everyday. gonna use this when i do a rerun of XL2!
They need to have a sequel to X-Men Legends 2 which features Mr Sinister as the main antagonist (after all, he’s still around when X-Men Legends 2 wrapped, cackling like a madman). I wonder if they could secure a nice ensemble of voice actors to perform the roles with these four dudes being the top picks
Patrick Stewart- he’s the one and only Professor X.
Steve Blum- he’s the definitive voice of Wolverine in all known media i.e. animated series and games.
Tom Kane- he does a pretty nice impression of Ian McKellen as Magneto.
Troy Baker- he would be Mr Sinister since Mr Baker has the ability to portray noble heroes and dastardly villains.
The early game in this is hard. The best way to do it is to make sure you fight everything to gain experience while also taking advantage of the danger room. If you are low on resources you run a danger room mission to refill them. A first time run through of a mission enemies will drop items and money. You also gain experience to help with those tunnels at the end. If you go barebones and try to blitz your way through that tunnel section will murder you and you will pretty much be gated at that point.
Why am I just finding this out I restarted that game so may times because I'd get to a level and only have iceman left and he'd have extremely low health
By far, my favorite section of this game was the Astral Realm.
That was my least favorite , with the Sentinel factory being next .
@@robertmurdock1848 yeah I also didn’t like going there either
My favorite was weapon x both the wolverine flashback and when it was cyclops and wolverine
Nice! Astral Realm was pretty fun. I think my favorite was either the sinking ship (I hate I couldn’t use Jean) and anything where we could fight sentinels (in present time).
Yeah, that section that repeats twice and is boring as fuck both times.
I was literally talking about this game at 8am. Me and my brother back to back crane style the two legends games. Collossus and Wolverine then Iron Man and Deadpool. I loved these games especially more than UA2.
I remember I used to farm for health items in the danger room .doing missions and just failing on purpose cause once you complete a mission it won't drop health items
There are a couple of missions in that first danger room level that are good for that.
I actually prefer X-Men legends to all those that came after it. I liked the respawn system that forced you to level up and learn to use other X-Men. I liked the skill system more too. And even the health items. I liked learning how each character could interact with their environments.
And you, sir, only had a hard time because you ran into every fight with fisticuffs and Cyclops. Yes, there were often huge mobs of dudes just waiting to kill you on the other side of a door or wall. You have Jean Grey and Storm at your side. USE THEM!! Storm and her chain lightning made her my #1 sniper!! All of her points went into energycapacity and lightningbolt upgrades.
Fighting sentinels? Really tough! Unless you have Iceman, Gambit and Jubilee. Iceman freezes/slows them and then Gambit/Jubilee can actually charge them and make them blow themselves up!
Too many enemies to feasibly punch your way out of? Use Emma Frostto mentally dominate them and make them
The game is kinda tough but it's a game where you really have to pay attention to enemy resistances and to the powers and damage types of the X-Men.
Just use Nightcrawler with the Hammer of Nimrod to kill Sentinels with one ability and no challenge. You can get that at level 13 and works until the end of the game.
@nikthedestroyalator6796 this game poses zero threat if you just use your abilities. I was a brand new player and just beat the game for the first time and I pretty much only died to accidentally walking off the map outside of combat. My main team was Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler. I could easily buff up Wolverine with to run and attack insanely fast, do insane damage, and take zero damage all the time and just walk through the game. Could skip everything as bosses with Nightcrawler if I wanted. Press 1 button to kill everything with Jean Gray. I could even kill people from the edge of the screen with Cyclops. One of the easiest games I have ever played. MUA3 kicked my ass. I was stuck on several bosses for hours. No idea how anyone other than Dean Takahashi could think this game is hard.
Sounds like playing the game was too much for him.
I totally agree
Same here
If you thought this was difficult, you shouldn't try Wolverine's Revenge...
That game. I remember getting to Lady Deathstrike and being so done dying again and again, but pushing on because it was almost over.
I still haven’t finished that game.
Edit: I have finished Wolverine’s Revenge
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been impaled by Wendigo
@@Junketsuadidas I remember starting against Magneto and almost beating him on the first try. I then an hour later i'm still in that foundry getting killed again and again.
29 year old me Coming back to this game years later after it was released, it wasn’t that hard. Yeah characters died a lot but I always made sure to just switch in new members during save points instead of wasting the creds to revive them. The only real pain in the ass mission was the final boss.
Wow Victoria
I loved this game when it 1st came out, even more than it sequel & "spin-offs". It teaches you actual strategy & how to distribute resources.
Blackton Obvious agreed!
I liked legends 2 level design better but otherwise yeah one is OP
@@kyleellis9177 Indeed, but of course a sequel should be better designed than the original. But X-men Legends is still "THE LEGEND", to me (mainly because so many games were spawned off of it).
@@MoCa1979Jr I can see why, legends 2 edges a win only barely for me because of cast. I really liked Magneto and Juggernaut, Nightcrawler and Iceman. my 4 fave mutants in one game.
@@kyleellis9177 Oh. Ok. Cool. Even though Jugs isn't a mutant, he's 1 of my fav "X-Villains" (w/ Mags arguably being my fav). While I like NC as a character, I think DP is a better pick (since he can teleport, heal & shoot). Iceman's pretty cool though. While they aren't my fav comic book characters, my fav team was: Jean, DP/Logan, Storm, & Cyke/Mags.Iceman. I liked Legends better (aside from the graphics) because of the sheer # of characters. L2 had a more limited selection & "guest appearances", which was kind of a step back for a sequel to me. But to each his own.
I accidentally fell into a fan as Wolverine during his Weapon X flashback level, had to restart like 2 or 3 hours back cause I forgot it didn't have autosave. I sold it back the following day
_Whaaaaat,_
That level is like, basically the middle point of the game if not leaning to the end.
You're telling me you spent 15-20 hours on a game only to return it because of a single environmental hazard?
@@EvilParagon4 LMFAO
@@LilC1deep To make it better, the mission is entirely optional. It's as simple as _not_ talking to Wolverine at that point in the game. Literally don't even go into the X-Men Hanger and all the way to the other end where he's hiding. There's nothing even to tell you he's there, you have to go and actually explore.
This was one of my all time favorite games as a kid and always have a weird urge to go back and play it
I've noticed whenever my PS2 gets inaccessible for whatever reason Legends is what always gets me to get it set back up again
I loved the difficulty in this game personally out of all the games in the X-Men Legends/Marvel Ultimate Alliance series. Much like the Dark Souls games, beating the bosses ( and the game as a whole) just felt so satisfying to me.
Nathan Lemuel agreed. It always feel earned and required you to be strategic.
Agreed. It upset me at times as a kid but I want to believe years later it was a healthy challenge. It made every character, level, and stat feel meaningful.
A lot of people don't know that you can grind to get levels in Danger Room missions if you deliberately fail them. You still get XP for defeating enemies
There's also a danger room disc on the final morlocks sewers mission that gives you insanely stupid amounts of XP when you defeat a certain type of enemy
This game also has really awesome voice acting and a spectacular soundtrack.
I'm at the mount look up videos people at level 20 etc. I'm at level 35 lol😂
same lol its simpl
e to win complete ddanger room disc use cyclops for physical resistance and use wolverine for energy resistance easy
@@user-hb2fg7qs4i
Damn homie, you need a hug?
Lol remember when Iceman had consistent character traits and didn't have his sexuality and entire personality changed just because some dumbass author thought it was a neat idea?
No hetero explanation twitter.com/meakoopa/status/1062222883861250049?s=19
He so effective in this game since majority of the enemies in this game arent resisitant to elemental damage so when you level his ice punches he does ice damge on top of his melee.
Iceman being gay wasnt THAT bad lmao it couldve been written better tho.
Chance Loves His Wife True but, since the writer was self projecting(His words, not mine) is coming out and everything after has been horrible.
Kevin Nelson can you tell me why they didn’t make him at least bi? Being “fluid” and all... the jokes write themselves but nobody even thought of that so why are they even being paid? Lol
thank god, this game was a pain in the ass as a kid, and much later on when i was 15-16
I wAs 8 yEaRs oLd aNd I bEaT tHis gAmE juSt finE.
Start the video just to immediately say BRUH 😂
So games that pissed Xavier off
Spider-Man 3
Amazing Spider-Man 2 (I could be wrong and he just thought it was bad)
Arkham knight
Deadpool by high moon studios
And
X men legends
Oh and making the black suit was a nightmare
I just binged all the x-men movies 2 days ago and all of a sudden I’m seeing more x-men in my notifications
I dont rly struggle if i can get past the ice caverns. But my God. The harp facility and ice caverns... Nightmares.
You seem to have locked away USS Arbiter in your subconscious. Allow me to remind you of the horror’s of taking down a mini Sentinel facility before being required to use Iceman and a welding character to keep the ship from sinking......oh god. So much death in that mission.
X-MEN Legends 2 review when, Xavier? :)
This game should NOT have been that difficult for you. Sounds like a user error.
Look at the team he picked on the second mission. Rouge was useless early game cause she had no energy to do shit lolz. He asked for the struggle
Totally, he had no clue what he was doing and clearly never even tried to learn, like he was attacking physically resistant enemies with jubilee... like him finding it difficult is all on him
@@imafgc yeah keep 2 physical attackers and 2 energy or elemental characters, from there you should be fine.
He's just bad lol.
I dont even think he played this as a kid. like you can tell. and even if he did, he probably gave up before 50% of the game like the rest of the inpatient kids at the time.
The key to this game during the ice caves and morlock levels and many others is to be Jean Grey. She can make bridges and when there are a lot of tough enemies just use her telekinesis power and throw them off the bridges 😂 makes it so much easier and you still get all the xp.
You can have multiple save files on the Gamecube version. And you’re supposed to use the Danger Room to level up if you’re struggling against the enemies or need more health potions. I was out of health potions and got my ass kicked during the Sentinel flashback level so I went to the Danger Room and farmed health potions and leveled up. It was a breeze after that.
I’ve been replaying the game with family and it’s weird how painful it is.
I like Jubilee's voice in this. She's annoying in the animated series.
It's Danica McKellar, Winnie from Wonder Years.
Who actually has like a doctorate degree in Mathematics, and played Jubilee who has been noted in-universe to have dyslexy with numbers so she has severe problems with math.
Personally, I think Cindy Robinson would make a good voice for Jubilee if Marvel ever decides to include her in one of their cartoons again.
@@ChaosZero1031 Really??? If this is all true, please accept this upvote! You may have given me the fun fact of the year right here in February!
@@legoking6165my pick would be Janice Kawaye aka Jenny
@@dcb99filmz
That's not a bad choice honestly. That last comment of mine was posted three years ago and in that time, I kinda decided that Karen Fukuhara (Glimmer from Netflix's She-Ra) would probably be a better voice for Jubilee than Cindy Robinson.
I recently beat this game two months ago and holy shit I remember how hard this was when I was a kid
Damn, even under stress Xavier can still clock in with quality content
Xmen legends 2 is beyond epic. WAY better than the first one for Damn sure. If you look up top 10 X-Men games it's usually #1. Just as good as mua if not better imo. Also had the best rpg elements out of the entire series
I wouldn't say way better than the first , but more replayable and enjoyable in that regard. The major flaw with XML2 is equipment management and having to pick up and take care of all drops to prevent the game crash due to maxed memory.
I enjoy and replay these a lot more than MUA , if only I could bypass that Pitfall mini-game in Murderworld , I would enjoy it a lot more.
Xavier, did you hear that we're getting the TASM suit in Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered on the PS5?
Diego left me dying on some parts, I’m happy you u got to finish this, even with the help.
Thanks for the new upload man, the stuff you had to go through for this is crazy 😜
5:19 godzillamendoza many people consider Steve Blum to be the definitive Wolverine voice
90s X-Men Wolverine : am I a joke to you
Yes. Yes he is. He needs a serious cough drop
90s Wolverine will never beat Steve Blum. Get your head out your arse
take a moment to appreciate the guy that messed his keyboard up with doritos shit. Man is a legend
I was hoping someone would notice! It hurt a bit to do that.
Oh no... The pain... The Memories... THEY'RE COMING BACK!
This game is a classic! It’s always been one of my favorite games of all time especially as a huge X-men fan. I wished they made a third game. And if they do, keep the same writing/tone as the first 2 games. You could tell there was a lot of care in the game that kicked off blum’s legacy as the main stay wolverine voice actor, but it paved the way for MUA. Anytime I play the games, I just play XL1,2, and MUA1. I dug MUA 3 since it’s fun, but I wish they kept the tone of MuA1 and the previous legends games. Legends 2 is solid though, especially since they had Deadpool and Ironman as a back door that lead to MUA.
i just beat this game over quarantine, the key is having Storm and Cyclops on your team and doubletheir leadership everytime you upgrade anything else for them, so you level up 4 times quicker.
This was well worth the wait! The review was really in depth and hilarious!
I don't remember this game being that hard as a kid. My brother and I beat this a good 3 or 4 times. Maybe it's just better in co-op.
We had more time and patience as kids. So we didn’t mind games being a bit challenging. It was the norm
I played this by my self and found it easy too. Cyclops I remember being the best to use.
Nothing wrong with some slight difficulty and learning a game lol
I only ever played the game single player and I hardly had occasion to die. It was pretty easy. I saw the title of this video and immediately thought the reviewer must be an idiot. Also the two X-Men Legends games were better because you could actually link combos, unlike dumbed-down Ultimate Alliance which ruined the hand-to-hand combat.
@@danielcraig9666 I have to agree this is one of the reasons I loved Xml 1 and 2 more. I hated how you only had 3 hit combos in MUA and the overall campaign was to easy. If I remember correctly I think cyclops had an infinite combo.
You can also use Jean Grey to make those bridges. And to constantly be stocked on health/energy packets and make some loot is to replay early Danger Room missions (without completing the objective, otherwise money and packets don't respawn). That was also a good way to level up and grind. The ones with a time limit were the best ones for all that grinding and stocking up.
Love this game. I've played it loads so I don't have your problems with it. Mr Sunday Movies and Masso have the same opinion as yourself that it's like work. More xmen legends for me
Unexpected but not unwanted
This is one of the best superhero games. I think that a X-Men: Legends 3/or a Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (on PS or Xbox) is long over due.
Darth Watson as much as I like mua 3, I wished that they Boeotia the same some what serious tone of the previous games because that’s what made those games solid.
So badly I wanted an X-Men Legends 3 with Mister Sinister as the big bad. I was left wanting more with him laughing diabolically on top of the pyramid. One day he'll get his time to shine. Still waiting for it to happen on the big screen.
This game was what made me fall in love with Cyclops. With the destructive environments, I realized I didn't have to OPEN doors, I just had to *_look_* at them. Oh.. oh yes.. YAAAS!
Marvel vs Capcom 2 further cemented my adoration for Slim after it came out on 360.
All that said, I always missed manually leveling characters in Ultimate Alliance 1. It made sense, as they catered stats to fit the characters, but I recall having a really broken Wolverine and Colossus by the end of the game which made me squee with joy. But then I miss the costumes and custom grab attacks in UA2. Haven't touched UA3 as I'm a single-console-basic-bitch aka Xbot.
Thanks for putting this out, X. Can I call you X? I'm calling you X. He's the superior super fighting robot anyway, you should be proud of your namesake. I'm sorry to hear you got boned on a sour channel deal. Always enjoy your vids, bud. Even though I'm like.. 14 years older than you.
P.S.
I noticed them Mutant Apocalypse jams in the background. 😛
You can still controll which skills to level in MUA , I don't like passive skills tied to a particular costume
I feel like this video has a higher production level than usual. I enjoyed the bits of visual humor, like the keyboard and unsub button sequences. Keep it up!
Nice to finally see ya cover it! X-Men Legends *slaps* (So does Rise of Apocalypse and both Ultimate Alliances of course, but I have a real soft spot for those first two, especially Legends 1)
Actually replayed it somewhat recently, good times.
Legends 1, 2, and that Origins Wolverine tie-in are the 3 best X-Men games in my book. Should probably check out the other few ones they got sometime ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶p̶ ̶c̶h̶a̶n̶g̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶s̶o̶o̶n̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶m̶u̶h̶ ̶n̶o̶s̶t̶a̶l̶g̶i̶a̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶'̶r̶e̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶g̶o̶o̶d̶...
Each character is better for different things. My favorite comp is and AoE CC team. Jean is AMAZING. She can walk into a room and kill anyone without psychic resistances with telekinesis. Cyclops’ optic blast can one shot most characters that don’t have energy resistances. Wolverine is good for hand to hand and you can spam berserker rage to get across the map quickly. Having Storm, Iceman or Jubilee provide nice CC or debuffs against the enemy. If you don’t need CC, take Rogue or Colossus (and even Emma if you build her right) to have a super solid tank. Other characters like Magma have multiple uses.
You can build her as a glass cannon brawler or a glass cannon that works from range. Psylocke is good for either, but I prefer her at range with Deathbird’s Javelin. Beast is kind useless, imo. But he’s the only one that doesn’t have a ton of use.
Beast is fine , avoid his extreme attack and critical strike passive. Build his skills and buff , put all stat points into focus. Get an effective piece of damage inceasing equipment to enhance his skills.
Put good support characters as his teammates.
Colossus and Rogue's skill punch may be powerful , but are frequently avoided by enemies. Beast connects with damage to multiple enemies far more frequently.
Legends II really was superior, and I actually played that one first. Good memories with both either way. Also -- loved the SNES X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse soundtrack in the backhalf!
This shouldn't bother me, but you can have multiple save files... The game is telling you in the clip that there is insufficient room on your memory card to make more saves.
I used that all the time to make sure I didn't save myself into a tight spot back in the day.
This game is my whole childhood, I can't believe it's this hard for the reviewer to play? I don't remember but were there difficulty settings? I genuinely don't remember it being that tedious and hard. I did play often with friends, but still, this game was pure joy to me.
No , this game did not have a difficulty or a new game plus setting.
The second one did , though.
12:26 You needed to do the same thing in Superhero Squad Online.... I miss that game so much 🥺
Me to man.
I’m such a pro at that game
Hard at first but once you’ve mastered the gameplay and beaten the game more than once everything is so simple lol
I’ve been there before in the beginning as a kid so I understand how frustrating playing x- men legends can be . I think this game has the best story plot , better than x-men legends 2
this is maybe your best edited vid and i love it! can’t wait for the next mk or spidey review!
The problem of health packs, energy packs and tech bits was an easy one to solve. You got to keep any items you got from Danger Room challenges whether you completed them or not. And you could access the Danger Room from most Xtraction points. However, the courses stopped giving you items once you completed the course so all you had to do was find a course that was generous in giving you items and never complete it. Either don't complete all the objectives or quit. The Qualification Exam 100 (which you find in the second mission) was very good for this. After you find it, you can get as many items and tech bits as you wanted.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been in dire straights lately. This was a great video though! You’ve managed to keep your content consistently good despite all that. That’s pretty inspiring to me as an aspiring content creator.
Honestly this is in my top five of favorite games of all time. even though going by the title of the video I don't think you enjoyed it I'm just glad to see it getting any attention at all so thank you for posting this. I will say one of my favorite things about this game is the way that it doesn't hold your hand as much as ultamate alliance one or two. After finishing the video I have to say The fact that you have to manually choose to use health after finding it kind of adds to the excitement for me. Plus the fact that you have to pay to revive your characters just makes the game more dramatic for me I guess I like the game for a lot of the reasons that you don't . Which is fine
The game gets significantly easier and more fun in the later half, as the x-men all get levelled up. I think the third level is the real trial early on. In the last levels, you can utterly dominate enemies, having your whole team lay in with heavy hitting attacks.
Your mistake in the beginning was poking with Cyclops. Poke with Iceman since his attacks slow the enemies. Then run in with Wolverine to finish them off.
Also, if you're having trouble with Master Mold at the end, just use Nightcrawler's super. If it's completely leveled, and you have the right gear, it's an OHKO.
I never found the game overly difficult and it's personally my favorite even over MUA.
Anthony Roberts same man. I like that the game was full of lore and details . With flash back missions, character interactions I always enjoyed that especially the length. MUA is the only other game with the similar length.
Same
@@antdujar Xmen Legends is what got me interested in Xmen Lore and comics. Love how accurate it was to it!
@@CharismaticGamer agreed! Im a huge x-men fan, so when i played this and MUA i was just super happy that it was made by people who had genuine love for the lore and characters. My squad for the legends games was always wolverine, cyclops, storm and iceman, whereas MUA, it was cap, ironman,spider-man and wolverine. that way, i was always covered for long range, air, and melee attacks/obstacles. overall, a great game.
Co-op'ed this with a bro a few years back. Don't really recall struggling this much, it was mostly just kind of a slog because the levels go on for fucking ever.
I think it just wasn't balanced for singleplayer.
it's arguably more balanced for single player as you can cusutomise the team and characters precisely the way you want
If you change char's every mission its a challenge. if you keep 2 or more regulars on team its way to easy.
I honestly didn't find it that hard.
This is some of your best editing bro!
this game was the epitome of my childhood, I just kept repeating it over and over again. I love it so much
Omg I love this game so much. Finally a recent video on it. I used to play age of apocalypse at my cousins place then MUA was my first ps2 game, and I managed to get the first x men legends and (despite hating it and thinking it was inferior) I got to loving it. My ONLY hate for it is that it didn't have a saved statistic for leveling and no extract ability like the later games. Music of the game is just MWAH. It's actually fairly easy if you get the hang of just spamming your main R2 X move, and also just make sure to increase things like iceman's cold crush so punches do ridiculous energy damage even on physical resisting guys. It does suck that wolverine and cyc are mandatory inclusions along with a flight character and bridge maker. Iceman is also one of the best characters so having him on a team is just. Great.
Weird that as I was watching this I got a notification for Woolie streaming another X-men game.
My six year old daughter got so mad trying to play this shit, she took the disk out of her PS3 and broke it in half, then put it in the toilet. Lmiao. She was PISSED! she has my temper. 💜
Thanks for pulling through and making the video. I really enjoyed it :)
Love X-Men Legends II Rise of Apocalypse.
Imagine making a video about Ultimate Alliance's predecessor and mentioning it a bunch, but then not linking to the MUA video you collaborated with a certain sexy RUclipsr on at the end. smh man smfh
@Supreme Person It's called a joke.
I managed to beat this game when I was like 12 somehow. One of the hardest experiences gaming I’ve ever played, because this one didn’t have cheat codes but I was determined to win either way.
Hey man, I wanna say I'm sorry that you're going through all this stuff. I've seen your channel ever since you Spider-Man (Bomb Squad) retrospective. I know you can make it through this. You're a wonderful guy form what I can tell, and a lot of people would love to help you out.
We love you all Xavier ❤
I only played this game a few years ago and had the exact same experience as you at the start - distinctly remember everyone being incapacitated except Wolverine and Rogue because of their durability, leaving them to infiltrate this Baltic fortress alone. Which to be fair, felt very true to the comics. My only complaint about ultimate alliance is that you never really felt like you were struggling, characters are seldom down for long. This on the other hand had a genuine feeling of peril.
Idk much about the sequel, but the music was apparently good enough that it got plagiarized by a guy who worked on the music for dbz games
I just played this game on GameCube for the first time by myself. This game poses zero challenge after the first couple of missions. The only times I died was accidentally falling off the map outside of combat. You get so many group wide buffs it is ridiculous. Use Jean Grey or Storm or both, and your entire team is invincible since their buffs are team wide and give a flat -50 to damage taken. Jean Grey can solo most of the game, just spamming her aoe attack. It is fun to use Jean, Cyclops, and Gambit with their buffs maxed out to buff up one of the melee characters to just auto attack everything to death while running around like the flash. My main team was Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler. I used Rogue, Storm, Iceman, Gambit, and Emma Frost a few times each. I have no idea how anyone other than Dean Takahashi could think this game is hard. MUA3 is like 10,000x harder (fuck MODOK and Dormammu) that game is not even hard as I just got stuck on a handful of bosses. I am not bragging at all btw I suck at games all of my friends in my friend group are waaaaay better than me at every game we play. It looks like he just didn't bother to use characters other than Wolverine. You need to do combo attacks to deal good damage without buffs and the AI does way less damage with attacks than the player so you need to switch to someone else for physical resistant enemies at least. Try Cyclops for them he is really good with lasers. Also game was never released on PC so is obviously just emulating a console version. Jean Grey can make bridges too you know same with Magma don't need to use Iceman. There are alternate costumes but you have to beat the game once to unlock them sadly. Man looks like you guys didnt use a single buff the whole game no wonder you had a hard time 😂
This game drove me crazy too! I got both X-Men Legends games at the same time, but couldn't make it further than a couple missions in either game. I refused to even attempt Ultimate Alliance because of how frustrating this was.
XML2 is way easier than this first one ,
I still frequently die if I don't play the early levels accurately .
In the 2nd one , the only death I usually suffer is Cpu controlled Toad jumping off the screen to his death in the narrow Cerci tunnels.
I was so hyped over this game as a kid when it first came out but it definitely had some really frustrating moments. I died a bunch on the single player intro and still do any time I go back to it. My first playthrough I accidentally saved on that part with the bomb timer when the timer was too low to do anything and had to start the game over because its the only save file. Didn't go back to the game for months after that but when I did my game glitched out bad on the Marrow boss fight and had to start over again. I was also having trouble with the enemies overall difficulty but later on figured out as long as you stop to fight every single one so you dont miss out on any leveling up you'll be pretty good. Also some grinding in the danger room helps too.
For me when I first played this game recently on the PlayStation 2 one good thing is there’s so many save slots. the difficulty of this game it’s kinda hard to get used too for new players who don’t play rpgs but when u get used to it it’s easier. The tunnels and other areas of the game can be difficult but used grind and try to manage ur resources and u will be fine but on the second time playing the whole game again it’s so hard on the last mission
I have so many great memories of this game, the second, and the first ultimate alliance on PS2 doing couch co-op with my best friend through junior high and high school. I remember Storm was a beast if you upgraded her ability that her melee attacks did electricity damage, she'd still wreck the enemies that were physical resistant
15 years later and I still remember being stuck on that ice level because I didn’t use the freeze move or when I finally figured it out he died before I could get there Lmao
I liked this game back in the day but yeah it was pretty freaking hard I remember I actually had to start the whole game over because of a level that had a timer and I saved the game at a point I couldn't beat the level in time it was pretty annoying
I think that this was the first game that I seriously tried to optimize my gameplay. I remember having trouble on the second mission too, so I took to grinding in the danger room up to level 10 at minimum before continuing the mission. On real slow summer days I would grind up and plan stat allocations for the whole cast until hitting level 20. From that point on it was fun playing an elite team of overpowered xmen for the rest of the game.
But seriously, the x mansion and all the little details made me fall in love with the xmen franchise more than any other piece of media.
This game is basically just an X-Men encyclopedia with punching.
besides beating this game as a kid best memory tied to this was actually having a limited edition flavor creamy pesto cup o noodles. the best flavor I ever had. maruchan thank you for spicing up my childhood while I was stuck on the marrow mission, and playing as a walking professor charles. legends Indeed
little bits of info I remember about the game
1. Characters like Iceman Storm Jean Gambit Jubilee Magma & Nightcrawler it's important to upgrade energy consumption and efficiency so they can fly/glide and use their abilities almost *infinitly*
2. Cyclops and Storm need piercing upgraded to further chain their energy attacks
3. Other than Iceman; Jean Psylocke Emma Frost & Magma could also make paths
4. There are actual combos into launchers and abilities
5. You could use the environment as apart of your combo finishers for extra damage either sending them flying backwards or through an object
6. Jean could levitate objects and enemies (bigger objects when fully upgraded vs barley lifting and pushing enemies back with 1 skill point in the ability) by pressing and holding her telekinesis ability; you could throw said enemy or object in any direction with left joystick
7. Gambit & Jubilee could detonate any environmental or enemy type
8. Nightcrawler could teleport room to room even through walls and clear entire levels
9. You could play as Havok and the Brotherhood in the Danger Room (minus Magneto)
You can also do the fastball special with Wolverine using either Colossus, Rogue, or Beast by pressing grab near him.
@@anispidey I forgot about the fastball special!!!!! I didn't know those guys could do it too!!! Colossus, Rogue, Beast & Emma I always used the absolute least when everyone else was dead between checkpoints or I was forced to have them on my team lol
@@TONYZANDERZ Oh man Colossus I near always had on my squad after getting him! His legend smash (the maxed version of his punch move) was the strongest power in the game by sheer number value. I really wish somebody do a remaster or even a remake of this game, what a way to get the x-men back into video games imo.
@@anispidey
It was a fun move , but it wasn't powerful or very effective.
Despite the game's flaws i still liked it as kid and it's sequel which is probably the best x men game (not counting wolverine origins) and btw sorry for what happened to you we all went through shit this year you desserve better
This game was basically my gateway to being an X-Men fan and comic related things
I loved this game as a kid even tho it had its frustrating moments. The enemy scaling was pretty bad though which led to tediously difficult battles.
