GameXplain Writes: "Overall, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is an adequate sequel to the last decade old title. I say adequate because there is a distinct lack of extra modes and settings to add diversity to your experience. If you are planning to play this game all on your lonesome, things might get tiresome fairly quickly. The satisfaction of taking down three relatively easy computer controlled characters just doesn’t match up to the feeling you get from besting an actual real-world opponent. Though I really liked most of the changes they implemented in this game, I definitely expected Capcom to come up with some more inventive twists on the formula to keep me playing by myself for hours on end before ever deciding to go toe-to-toe with an actual opponent. As it stands, I’m not sure I could push myself to hop in the ring anymore if it weren’t for the fact that my friends want to show me their moves."
Artist Chris Cayco, who we’ve featured a few times before on Kotaku, grew up playing Marvel vs. Capcom (and Marvel vs. Street Fighter) games. His tribute to this, which took him over 175 hours, was to combine every single character to ever appear in Capcom’s crossover series in the one enormous image.
Makes me despise Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite that much more
So much wasted potential
As common as it is today, it is hard to believe that there was a time where gaming franchises crossing over was just a pipe dream. Capcom broke down the wall, but they took the combination of some of the most unlikely of franchises and made it the norm.
Whether it was a colossal successful partnership with Marvel Comics or a collaboration with rivals Namco and SNK, the “Vs.” series brought unforgettable experiences to the fighting genre.
Marvel doesn't just have a bright future ahead of it in films, but in the gaming realm as well. Some exciting new titles are showing up on all hardware, so does that mean gamers are finally catching up with the MCU?

What kind of a point is this? This is why an online mode is included. Who cares if there isn't "extensive" single player modes? Barely any fighters have very detailed single player modes.
he likes to play with himself
*sniffs and snickers*
3 outta 5! what a joke this is! 5 outta 5, hands fuckin down baby!!!
