Mods, mods, MODS!!

[You Kissed a Boy and Liked It]

Let's face it, the MUA franchise is / was garbage and it was a brain fade of full retardation proportions for Activision to drop Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects 2 – a game I still play to this day and is arguably the most fun arena brawler out there (...yes ― even better than Power Stone!) – for what history has borne out to be little more than shallow, brain-dead, wanna be ARPG games

However, mods made MUA(1) half decent; as they were plentiful and added enough content and user customisation, that it overshadowed the unsatisfying core nature of the overall game (esp. compared to XML2).

So, does this game look anything like MUA1―with respect to its file structure et al. and, therefore, perhaps potentially moddable...?

This, one factor will likely decide my interest in this title. Never really played the console version much, despite still owning it. Moddability, on the other hand, might just rekindle my brain-dead grinding fire...

Also, does this version of the game have all its DLC present...?

(thanks)

Saying the MUA franchise is garbage are some fightin' words

I dissagree about your general thoughts of the series, but I woupd love to get mods back. I dont know about everyone else, but UA2 doesnt really have a character that I feel I can really connect to. If someone were to mod Nova (richard rider) into the game, I think this game would be perfect. Well, except for the issues with the port.

Although I liked Rise of the Imperfects, I don't remember a single other person playing or even hearing about it. Did it even have the popularity to be on their radar?

This game seems very moddable. People over at marvelmods.com are hard at work at it but I think it should be close enough to the first game for them to figure it out quickly.

The game was overlooked (like many other good games that get buried through poor release window timing, advertising etc. -- e.g., Blur, Demigod) .

However - and although admittedly living up to its "imperfect" title - the game is an excellent and oftentimes hilarious arena brawler. No one KO / ring-out ever seems 100% the same (thanks, ragdoll physics) and the core gameplay is solid. The game is, however, unbalanced (rather, not balanced correctly -- e.g., Iron Man has near infinite missile spams and is near invincible / The Thing is relatively weak / Magneto is resilient as The Thing should be...), which might have turned many off before they could delve deep enough into the title to see the rough gem it was.

The tragedy was, a sequel (that was indeed in the works) would likely have addressed most of the game's issues and, perhaps more importantly, expanded the roster. But Activisionless dropped the game mid-development and made the derivative, generic MUA series instead.

I'll concede that MUA is not the worst game (much less Marvel game) ever made -- it has its appeal and can be addictive for scratching that grindy itch. But the franchise is clearly cookie cutter and safe to a fault, and its second iteration arguably took many more steps back than it did forward.

Hence my disappointment that it supplanted MN:ROTI, instead of holding off until said game got a sequel and / or becoming a parallel series.

I've never played Rise of the Imperfects with someone else, but as a singleplayer experience I thought it was an absolute garbage. Combat is repetetive and lacks any depth, AI is stupid as heck and sometimes enemies kill themselves by jumping out of the map in the begginning of the fight, the balance is nonexistent, the plot is ridiculous and so is story mode. Also Activison and MUA have nothing to do with this game, EA is the publisher of Imperfects.

There's your problem, right there: The SP is indeed all but tacked on and the CPU is as 'dumbot as can be in versus mode.

I should probably have disclaimed my praise for the game with APPLICABLE FOR MULTIPLAYER VERSUS MODE ONLY.

Rise of the Imperfects was garbage. I have it for PS2. The only good fighting game with Marvel characters in it was the Marvel vs. Capcom series, with 2 being the best.

Sorry to upset you Kissed a Boy and Liked it. If you don't like my opinion, that's fine. Keep trolling. It just makes you look like a pathetic idiot, especially since you pulled that video up. Apparently you have no empathy for someone who is mentally disabled. I assume you know nobody who is.

Only boosters & model adding/swapping still works. New characters are 50% possibly due to related to IGX files (models, UI & animations) & Fmod’s fsb sound files

The only thing you should be "sorry" for is your bottom-feeder taste in scrubware mish-mash fighters that pose unconvincingly as legitimate fighting games ...And direct the apology towards your family, associates and distant relatives connected via DNA (likely inbreeding, Khazar Jews... by the reads of it) -- for insulting their family name with your lowest common denominator tier contribution. 👌

But is there a modding scene per se... Or are you just extrapolating what could be achieved if there were any interest in doing so?

The Marvel Mod named Psycho Bear made a booster for MUA2. You can also see my only MUA2 screenshot on Fury’s SHIELD costume
