Should actually be called Avengers vs Capcom.

Capcom: We are gonna remove x-factor US: oh thank god that was such bullsh.... Capcom: we are gonna remove every x related thing in the game.

Marvel vs Capcom infinite is like an Ex- Boyfriend/Girlfriend, you don't like them but you still have feelings for them.

reality stone. reality stone. reality stone. reality stone. reality stone. reality stone. reality stone.

Wasted Potential: Infinite

So much about Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite would be better if it released in Spring 2018

Instead of spending time on creating npcs why didn't they use that time to create playable characters

Can't have server problems if nobody plays the game

I give this game: Function/5 "Wheres my Phoenix Wright and curly mustache"

"A celebration of gameplay and mechanics." So it literally is Function vs. Function: Infinite?

I think Capcom tried to make the best they could. No X-Men? Marvel is to blame. No Doom? Marvel. Bland art style, matching to Marvel movies? Of course, Marvel. OST composed of grandiloquent and generic themes? Marvel. Capcom was forced by Disney to make as they said, or there'd be no new MvC at all forever. And they wanted to make it, since people asked so much... When the first trailer hit me, Marvel was ringing my head. If this game sucks at presentation, Marvel is to blame, not Capcom. But the DLC strategy? Yea, that Cashcom all over the place.

Max face on the thumbnail is the definition of "meh"

The irritation I have MVCI is that you can clearly see where it could've improved, but Marvel just chose not to...

This game just looks soulless. There's no passion or love, and that's reflected in everything save the gameplay. From the developers' feelings/comments ("characters are just functions"), to the boring as hell, bare bones UI, to the sloppy graphics, to the trashy music, to the shit animations, to the limited roster; everything is half-assed, minimal effort bullshit, and it's such a colossal turn-off. No meme intended, this game is all function and no form, and unfortunately, having just one of those things - even if it's done perfectly (as is the case with MvCI having amazing 'function' in how it plays) - is never enough for a game to be good imo.

No X-men, no purchase.

Graphics for Dragon Ball fighterZ is 10/10 confirmed by Max. Can't wait for that review.

I gave the game an honest attempt, I spent hours practicing with Chun-Li, Gamora, X, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, and Captain Marvel. I loved playing Chun-Li, she was very fun. However, nothing ever felt like the characters meshed well together, the game relies so heavily on a decently synergized team that picking sub-par teammates actually feels like a hindrance. Add to that problem that all my friends immediately discovered and realized that Reality Stone is an oppressive and borderline "broken" tool you can abuse on any character and our friendly couch matches devolved into arguing over the fact that no one cared to learn how to play anymore because Reality Stone was just too good. Online (at least for PS4) is plagued with Reality Stone ranged keepaway shenanigans and not only that it takes as long as 5-10 minutes to find matches sometimes because it seems that no one is playing. I had a few fun matches, but most of the time, I just wondered why I wasn't playing something else because I wasn't having the fun I expected and nothing in the game really clicked with me. Ugly game, poor story, problematic stone, and very little community. I rented the game, kept it for 4 days, and returned it after about 20 hours of play because I was not enjoying it. I'm sorry but compared to what DBFZ is putting on the table, this game just isn't worth the time or money. It's a 5/10 - 6.5/10 at best. I respect that you love it, Max, and whoever else that reads this. However, I will give it another chance when the inevitable Super/Ultra/Ultimate/Hyper/Turbo/Whatever version comes out... because right now it feels like playing a glorified beta (knowing that there are a ton of DLC characters, all of them being new additions to the franchise except 1...)

It's sad, bc i really just don't think this game was made with care. It's as if no one working on it likes Marvel or capcom. And that unenthusiastic feel shows itself within the game, hell even in the voices of the characters

They absolutely butchered Dante's theme

This doesnt feel like a $60 game, personally. Feels rushed, and saved all the new characters as DLC. I'll wait till a $20-$40 price drop, or Ultimate version.

The DLC business practice makes this game unable to be purchased by me. I can't in good conscious support the game that's doing as blatant Day 1 DLC for full price as this. If you have it, fine, that's your choice. But it's not getting my money.

I feel like after watching the Monster Hunter Worlds trailer and how pretty and fucking ridiculous that game looks, I understand WHY MVCi looks like ass. Their entire budget went into MH.

"It's gonna get so much better when we get X-men characters." :(

So Capcom's philosophy for fighting games is "Multiplayer content over Single-Player content" and "Gameplay functions over Game Presentation"

Just wait for the dlc to come packaged with the game.

waiting for an ultimate edition lol

I'm not buying a game for 175 $. 60 $ start + 30 $ per season + tax? Go to hell Capcom.

For you Rocket, anything.

Old Capcom : Hey lets add Samonuske, falcon and asura on the dlc list i think thats a good idea! New Capcom: LOL! Who do you think you are! were adding jane foster as thor and that's it.

60 $ start + 30 $ per season , probably 3 seasons so 150 $ before taxation to play a fighting game that has between a third and half of it's characters shamelessly copy pasted from it's previous installment ? For a fighting game with a reduced amount of characters per team, a fighting game that has lost it's marvel vs capcom uniqueness, transformed in a cheap tag team tekken? No thank you. Sorry kids, back in my days, a game like that cost 60 $. Capcom is milking your ass. I hope you understand that. personally, the feeling of being robbed always leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

So, it looks like crap, but plays like a dream. Sounds about right.

SFxT all over again. Some big glaring flaws turn off the audience, but the core gameplay is solid af

so max is basically saying ,This game is Like Pam from Archer, ugly,annoying, bloated.......but the sex though...omg

I hope ultimate edition brings us Akuma, Asura, Vergil, Xmen, Venom, Nero & more!

All I want outta a (potential) UMvCi is better models, X-men characters and a few more capcom characters. Character Wishlist: Wolverine Gambit Magneto Rogue Storm Phoenix Iron Fist Vergil Amaterasu Tron Bonne Trish Akuma M. Bison

That Hulk and Ryu part in story mode could be a separate mode in itself. I liked it. I would play it again with different characters.

@Maximilian Dood This game is essentially Marvel (Cinematic Universe) vs. Capcom: Infinite. They should do what they did with KOF XIV and patch this game's graphics in-game and for cut scenes to improve it. I think improving these issues and adding in legacy characters might be all they need to do to pique the interest of more people.

This is basically KOF XIV all over again. Excellent gameplay but poor visuals and presentation. Only difference is KOF XIV didn't have any white knights defending the game from criticism and calling anyone who voiced a negative opinion haters. Because God forbid we criticize Capcom.

A fantastic celebration....of *_functions._* Mission accomplished. Well played, Capcom. Well played...

Well said, Max. Everyone is critiquing the game in one aspect or another but you have pretty much gone over absolutely every aspect of this game, whether it’s good or bad. Even though I’m not playing this game because of my personal gripes, you have reassured me of the fun gameplay and how the game fixes broken mechanics from marvel 3. Great review

This game is fucking incredible in the mechanics, watching it live and seeing Twitch chat go hype over the crazy shit is a great sign and man is it intense. However, with Capcom's decision on how they are going to be running the game (full $60 price for a meh roster with DLC already on the way for "new" and "cool" characters) I just refuse to buy it right now.

I'm not sure what's worse in this game, the graphics or the music?

Capcom: Umvci is a Good Fighting game. Goku: Umvci is that some kind of food ? Toriyama: Did you mean Dragon Ball Fighter Z.

I appreciate how he can be hard on something he loves so much. This review felt really informative.

How could you not mention Dante's theme a song so bad it makes you envy the deaf

Remember the epic UMVC3 intro? that was quality now compare that intro alone with the entirety of MVCI? It will blow your mind.

I'mma wait for the "Ultimate" edition.

You're a really fair and level headed critic! I wouldn't be able to not let my emotions get in the way of reviewing a game

I'm glad that this game gave the X series a lot of love though. Its really needed it

There is a simple solution to getting the best experience from this game: just wait. The core is fine, just like SFV was, but the game is rushed in all other aspects, the roster being the biggest problem. Wait for a complete version of the game for a more reasonable price/more complete experience (modes and characters). There are plenty of varied FGs on the market and most have a better package than this one.

Some of the story elements introduced in Infinity could be interesting if they decide to continue the story. Ryu teaching Hulk control is very interesting, I could definitely stand to see Hulk adopting the Ansastsuken school of martial arts into his moveset. Gamma Hadouken? And Thanos incorporating the Satsui no Hadou into himself could begin a rivalry between him and Akuma, two massive dudes amping up the dark impulses to become stronger and stronger.

One of the many reasons I subscribed to Max was because of his brutal honesty. As many fighting games as he plays, for him to say this is his favorite capcom fighting game since CVSNK2 speaks volumes. I wasn’t gonna get this game at first but since it’s the video game version of a “butterface” I’m definitely gonna get it now

This games is 6,5 at best. Decent game play, everything else sucks.

Hope everyone had a great day!

Thank you for the Review, Max!!! It's refreshing to see a game focus so heavily on what matters and not try to put some packaged dribble on a silver platter to simply make it SEEM more appealing. I'm a mechanics-fanatic and pvp'er at heart, so to me emphasis on netplay and multiplayer concepts are a huge win for any style of game.

Why Capcom insists on copying MK story mode? Why can't we have an arcade mode with multiple endings depending on which characters you choose?? Remember when you finished Xmen vs SF and after beating the final boss both of your characters face each other in order to see wich ending you'll get? Oh those were the good old days... :(

Fix Morrigan's Face

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Dislikes

Great review Max. Let's hope for a KOF style update to compliment the awesome gameplay.

How did they manage to make Morrigan not sexy? That's impressive.

I literally bought this game because it came for free with a stick purchase on Newegg

spider man used to look skinny and muscled so his acrobatics feel realistic enough but after they made him look like chris with a spiderman suit its just shit plus the story is an absolute cringe fest other than that the fighting is kinda nice

The reason there are no X-men is because Marvel did not want to give FOX any free publicity. Don't forget FOX holds the film right to the X-Men.

I remember people said SFxT was the best capcom fighter, when it came out. Then people woke up.

Sometimes, I don't agree with Max. But in this case, I nearly 100% agree with him. We can cue the callouts of Shills on this one. But I haven't had that much fun with this gameplay in a MVC game in a while because of a BS mechanic. Example: from MVC2"s God Tier characters, and One Touch deaths in MVC3. I can't see how people don't see the flaws in the old games, it's like Melee all over again.

Dont let this distract you from the fact reality stone needs to be nerfed!

This is quite likely the most informative and fair review I've ever seen. I appreciate how you go over any positive and negative sides of it all but then still judge the core gameplay and mechanics for as they are looking past the aspects. Very appreciated and I think I have a much better opinion of this game now

Pretty good and extended review. All those that called you a sellout for not shitting on this game can eat their hearts out. Being honest like this is the best way to do a review.

Sorry but this game us just a no go. Capcom really hasn't been working out lately, and if I gotta pick a fighting game I'll stick with Tekken 7 and Injustice 2.

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom all the way.

I loved the look on Max's face in the thumbnail for this video LMAO

I'll hold off buying this game. I respect Max's opinions on it but it offends my eyes far to much. Dante was my favourite character in umvc3...need I say more...

How come Max looks like he just witnessed a tragedy?

Does Capcom deserve a ton of money from paying consumers for this game? Not really, the presentation and other things leave a ton to be desired especially for a full-price $60 game. Almost feel like an indie game at times. Do I enjoy the game and have a blast playing it? Yes. I hope Capcom can do some sort of patch to make the backgrounds more lively and have some cool fonts and stuff, just make it more hype. But at the end of the day, I have fun. I don't blame people for waiting for a sale though. A lot of things are underwhelming.

Love the video. Max, your reference to Capcom vs SNK 2 was spot on. Keep up the good work!

Finally got to play yesterday. I love it. Smaller roster but the 2v2 makes it feel more personal when tryin to do tag combos. Never thought I would start playing with Ironman .

I'm sorry but I can't support a half-assed game.

you keep saying that Ultron Omega is a reference to MMX4 last boss, but realy is a reference to MMX5 last boss, you know, Omega Sigma!!!!!! even the blue floating arms are there!!

Man, I still miss Cyclops. Anyone else?

To me gameplay is more important to a fighting game even though I do like good graphics but that's second to the gameplay.

Another cash grab from capcom

Heck, the developer didn't even contact Itsuno for his approval of Dante's looks and dialogue AT ALL. Reuben confirmed that Itsuno was supper upset how Dante's character was portrayed in this game.

Watching Max's videos for about 5 years now and knowing his passion for Capcom fighting games, its hard to not take his words genuinely. I've been hearing alot about MvCi and im still unsure if i want to buy it. I trust your opinion Max, but not quite sold.

The gameplay is so much fun in this game!! Def worth playing if you can overlook the bland graphics

The presentation of the game is just awful. The bars, menús, etc are just lacking of imaginantion. They deserve a 3 out of ten.

Sounds like MvC:I is quickly becoming the Mass Effect Andromeda of the MvC series.

so most of the problems of MVC infinite is disney's fault. they presured capcom to release it earlier whitout time to polish the presentation, to use MCU music for its characters and what characters will be available. its a shame because this game had the potential to be amazing if they had the freedom to do what they know. An "ultimate" version could fix a lot of this but i doubt that will happen. so bottom line. bad presentation but amazing gameplay. well thats means if you area casual player better wait until its on sale. if you are a dedicated fan probably already have it anyway.

So glad I listened to Max. The gameplay really is fantastic and even though I am pissed off like everyone else the X-Men are nowhere to be seen ... Morrigan lives! RIP Darkstalkers

so in other words, MVCI has good gameplay but is bogged down by its poor presentation and scummy DLC practices followed by a butchered roster. might pick up when it like 25-30 bucks at the most, its just hard to justify paying the full 60 dollar price tag in its current state.

On disc DLC with Ultron Sigma.... SFxT all over again.

We need more of max reviews on games hell yeah max

The reveal of the MVC collection brought me here

Cringey story, terrible music, disney'ed roster, bad DRM, bad DLC... But dang, the gameplay is pretty solid. I wouldn't have bought it myself, but a friend bought it for me so... I feel bad about playing it, but I *am* having fun with it... Not as much fun as Marvel 3 on release, or Marvel 2 when it popped into arcades, but still fun.

The Roster Killed this game and the only way MVCI can shakeback is by dropping a Ultimate edition with double the amount of characters on the roster

the music in the background... sounds so familiar? what is it? i love your vids, dood!

This was the most even review of anything that I've ever witnessed. Hella brilliant yo! Thank you :)

I mean I'll buy it when it's way cheaper

The game is fun. I like the fighting engine for sure, but yes, I agree about the character roster. Maybe the next iteration will have 20 more characters we wants (let's hope). Now the story mode... Capcom, I will go back to my old comment in one of your videos. If they didn't add the storymode and just made an awesome arcade mode with the story built in to each character (prologue, opposite brand rival fights (2 or more for each), and a long and good enough ending (all of which could just be animated via cartoon)... I think that would satisfy most users. The story mode most won't play again, so it is almost a wasted effort which could have been used to focus on other aspects. This is the same problem with SF V... I hope Capcom realizes Arcade Mode > Story Mode (at least for me anyway) Too bad really, but yeah, I am glad I got the game. It is fun. I hope the next batch of DLC are characters we never had in MVC3 or some returning from other Marvel games we haven't seen for a while (Gambit... *cough*).

Man when you said Capcom vs SNK 2 I got them feels. That’s one of my favorite games ever made.

Max - I discovered your channel while looking for DBFighterZ coverage. Your content is excellent; keep up the good work!
