Logo Marvel Super Heros 2
Feb. 15th, 2026 04:16 pmI started writing this ages ago and then forgot about it.
I may as well finish it and post it now.
I finished Logo Marvel Super Heros 2.
Eternally annoyed at the whole screen shaking whenever there’s an explosion but I was taking my time so it wasn’t too bad.
The Lego games continue be on the right line between easy and engaging that they are enjoyable to play.
This time round I decided to do a level and then do some of the overworld puzzles and then do another level.
I think that’s probably the way it’s supposed to be played, rather than doing the story through 1st.
All the multiplier bricks were unlocked from the start so it was only a matter of getting enough studs to get the first one and then buying each one as soon as possible. At no point after that did I have to worry about buying things after that.
One thing I will say about the game is I recommend people wear headphones playing it.
Direct sounds is involved in finding a lot of things in the overworld. The speakers, drones and cats especially.
At least there is a little speaking bubbles that appears over something making noise so theatrically you could play if with the sound off.
It’s be really hard though. Good luck being in the right direction to spot them without the sound.
Not to many glitches. I think it only crashed once.
The Egypt world is where the worst of it happened to me. The 1st thing was I was doing a race before going to do the level but the race track passes beside the area that triggered the cutscene for the level and it started playing and stopped the race.
No problem, I simply went back to the start of the race after the cutscene finished.
Unfortunately, when I had finished the race and went back to do the level I couldn’t get the cutscene to trigger again so I couldn’t do the level.
Thankfully I was able to restart the game and decided leave the race until after I finished the level so I was able trigger it properly.
Unfortunately, the issues didn’t stop there.
In the level itself, the charters are split up so you do one section with some of them, unlock a bit for the other team and then switch over them. Do a bit with them and unlock the next section for the 1st team, and so forth. Eventually they all meet up at the end of the level.
Obviously this means when playing the level, when you switch between characters you can only do so between the one in each sections (so can’t skip bits of the level). The problem is that near the end of the level there was a door I had to open to get everyone to meet up and I tried to switch to a strong character to open in and somehow the game switched me to a character in the other group and I couldn’t switch back. Which means my active characters were stuck behind a door I could now not open, soft locking me so I couldn’t finish the level.
It was fine, at least I could just redo the level, which wasn’t that hard. I was a bit more careful about switching charter when I got to that point again but it turned out fine. But definitely a bug I have no idea how I tipped.
There is one last bug that stumped me for a while and it was on the overwold in the future city, Nueva York. There’s a puzzle down a shaft that need a shield carrying character to activate only it didn’t seam to work for me.
I ended up goggling around about it but I couldn’t find out a way to fix it. It turns out it was working, it’s just when you go on the target to activate the shield throw the camera doesn’t swing around properly it just locks in place but it still takes the same amount of time it would have as if it were moving to show the targets. I just had to wait a while and not press anything until it finally gave back control and I could throw the shield. I was just getting too impatient when it looked like nothing was happening and cancelling out.
The only other thing that I’m not sure if it is a bug of just bad design, is that the puzzle locations on the over-map could appear before they were actually available. You had to do some levels before you could reach/do some puzzles even though their icons were visible on the mini map. For example, before Chronopolis fully forms or when Knowhere first appears.
So I was able to get 100% in the game.
Yes, I fully looked up the locations of some things I needed to find on the over map but not that many. Knowing that some races were impossible without certain vehicles saved me a lot of frustration.
One tip I would give people playing (beside the headphone) is don’t bother with fast travel because flying everywhere will let you see more things that might end up being needed for a puzzle/quest.
I better not be getting migraines again
Aug. 31st, 2025 10:57 amI don't what to call it a migraine because I used to get migraines a lot when I was younger but I haven't had one in years and years.
When I used to get migraines they'd always start with an aura. A blind spot that would spread out in a ring and by the time it reached the end of the eye and I could see again the pain would have hit. The aura was the queue to immediately take medication to try and shorten recovery time. If I missed it, usually because it struck when I was asleep, it would get so bad I would have to trow up. And of course in those cases I would have to wait until I finished throwing up to take the medication.
I was on something stronger then the 1st level migraine medication, I remember that. Synflex I think. It's (thankfully) been a while.
The day of the migraine all I could ever do was lie in my bedroom as dark as it could get and wait for the medication to kick in enough that I could sleep it off.
The next day, even if I was feeling better I was usually useless for anything. Pain takes a lot out of you and migraines leave you really fuzzy. But I was usually fine the 3rd day.
It's why I'm so hesitant to call what I got a migraine.
I didn't get an aura and the only medication I had was some paracetamol someone had in the office but that at least made enough of a dent in it that I was able to get home.
Yes, the pain was so bad I felt nauseous and I had to leave early.
But I was able to get home and crawl into bed and sleep for a few hours.
I obviously didn't have didn't have any migraine medication since it's been so long but panadol seemed to be enough to let me potter around and get myself something to eat (even if I wasn't feeling hungry) before going back to bed again.
I was feeling better the next day. But better isn't well, and I probably shouldn't have gone back to work. Even if I was working from home.
I ended up leaving early again but I made it half the day at least.
It's been 2 days since then and I am feeling a lot better.
Still not 100% though.
To be honest, it probably was a migraine, if technically a lighter one then I used to get.
But I really don't want to admit it.
I really don't want to get migraines again.
Lego Marvel Superheroes
Jun. 22nd, 2025 10:09 pmSo when Steam was having a Marvel bundle sale I bought a few games.
I had played this before on PlayStation so I knew there would be some bugs and janky bits but I figured The games been out so long there;d be fixes available for anything game breaking.
While the game did crash a couple of times it was in the overview map so I wasn't actually doing anything so I just took it as a sign I was done for the day.
There was really only 2 times caused actual issues, both were in freeplay.
On one level Thor was supposed to hit a giant pumpkin at Magneto in the finale battle of the stage and I accidentally swapped characters just as the animation started and the character froze. It also go rid of the pumpkin but didn't hit Magneto so I couldn't finish the battle. thankfully I had gotten all the extras I from the level so I didn't actually need to finish the battle and could just save and exit to New York.
The other time was was on the extra mission in Dr. Strange's house.
Again in the final fight, this time it crashed the game and I lost and the extras I found. I had to do the mission again and just save and exit the level before the final fight triggered.
A least it was fast to do.
The only other real glitch I had was, despite having already done Blade's second side mission on the main map I didn't actually unlock the character nor trigger him to move. I didn't realize until I had finish every thing else because his mission marker had disappeared from the map.
I was only after I realized I was missing 2 characters that I had to investigate what had happened. After a bunch of googling various walkthroughs I was eventually able to find out I was missing Iron Fist (and Blade, which you get on his next mission) and find out were the mission was on the map and trigger it again. (The road that goes underground for a bit.)
I will say to anyone playing this to do the rescue Stan Lee quests whenever you can on the main map because they only trigger one after another and there are a lot of them. By the end of the game hey were the only thing I had left to do (bar figuring out the Blade glitch) go I ended up flying back and forth all over the map to get them all done.
Still, I 100% it at last.
