Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Woes

[Lord Geoff]

This game is actively and vigorously hating my freedom! The simulation disc missions are extremely difficult in relation to the rest of the game. I have read that the missions are leveled according to your level, that they are leveled according to the difficulty that you selected for the story and that they are the same difficulty no matter what other factors you may think apply. Anyone have confirmation of any of these three "theories"? I have finished some of the versus ones (where you get your whole team), but in three days, I have made no progress on any of the single character missions. I can get through the levels just fine, but the final boss/objective is kicking my butt every time. By the way, it sucks to play for 12-15 mins, fail and then have to play those 12-15 mins again, just to get to the point that you need to try again. The save I have all of the missions unlocked under is on hard difficulty with pretty high level chars, so I may just start another game on easy to see if those factors do, in fact, affect the sim disc missions.

wow, wish i could help... but my son and I haven't played the sim disc missions. I'll keep an ear out though. I'm sure we'll need the help too.

You must be in my head Geoff; I felt the same way about those damn side missions! I love the game overall, but those side missions frustrated me so much that I ended up not even bothering with them.

Woundup, Magneto and I finished the game last night on regular difficulty. We skipped the damn sim missions because they sucked and are as frustrating as you describe. We actually did one (on accident) at the beginning of the game and hated it so much we always avoided them the rest of the way through. Having to repeat stuff kinda sucked in the game. We actually had one part where we had kicked ass thru one section, then we died and the game lost sync so we lost all our progress to that point. :angry: Other than that, I laughed my ass off playing this game with Magneto and Woundup.

My recommendation: skip em bro, they're not worth the frustration. Either that, or do them co-op with other people.
