Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 post season 1 thoughts.

It has been a journey. I started playing this game back in August and periodically waited for all 3 DLC's to come out. Here is a few final thoughts.

- Overall good game

- Shadow of Doom is the best DLC expansion of all 3 expansion packs.

- If you play a new file, it was a nice trip down memory lane in starting all over, unlocking everything from scratch (however Deadpool is now unlocked from the start, I dunno why and starts off at level 21 as opposed to some lvl 5 unlocked characters from the get-go), leveling characters from the bottom up (that was fun), and last but not least, providing that you did purchase the expansion pack , you get to play the DLC expansion packs prior to even finishing the game. However, you can only play the DLC expansion packs if you hit certain level requirements (for ex: Curse of the Vampire DLC is playable after you reach lvl 5.) Rise of the Phoenix and Shadow Doom are playable on higher levels. So the good thing is that it is possible to unlock all the DLC characters before you even finish the game or infinity rifts. Heck, you might get them before you unlock Thanos or even Loki. Just a novelty still.

Some fans are hopeful for an season 2 pass. It would be nice but I think the developers at this point are probably focusing on a sequel.

*Update 4/19: Yes, I did unlock Punisher, Moon Knight, Blade, and Iceman in this new play through prior to getting Magneto, Colossus, Cyclops and Thanos etc. Rise of the Phoenix is playable after you reach lvl 25 it seems. Could be a certain stage but now I am at the Necropolis section with Deadpool with the highest lvl of 46. I'll make maybe one more update when Shadow of Doom gets unlocked. My guess is at level 50.
