Avengers (2018)

Lame. That’s what I figured.

shrug

It's a story campaign. There's more non-campaign missions where you can play as whoever you like. It's how you level your characters.

How is the gameplay? I heard it falls short.

Is this an x-men legends type game?

It's strange. All six characters, imo at least, handle extremely well. I might even claim that this is the best version of any of them ever put in a game when it comes to gameplay stuff like powers etc.

The real issue is the balancing. The game is badly balanced in solo play, and there are issues with enemies being able to interrupt you, but you can't interrupt them. The game is also very parry heavy in terms of what they expect from you the player.

It has the bones of a really good game, gameplay wise. They just need to tweak it.

If you want an idea, here's one:

It comes off like one of those games with wasted potential.

Just watching that, it comes off like it fails at making the player feel as powerful as the Hulk truly is.

There are times when it feels like that. There are also times when you feel super-powerful. It being a constantly updated game means I can have some optimism though. Or at the very least, keep my fingers crossed.

Super Fit Epic Hulk Outfit? Lmao wth, that isn't how Hulk just normally looks?

Yes I read it would be getting lots of updates. Hopefully it can improve.

There's supposed to be a wartable soon where they give out a roadmap for the coming months. That's going to be key.

Even with it's faults, the game does keep me coming back to it because the characters just "feel" right to me in how they play, for the most part.

I wanted to be excited about this game but after other reviews/watching the first 1 of the game I've definitely started to lean to not picking it up.

Not sure about that for Iron Man/Stark, He behave's too much like Deadpool and yes i know it's the same voice actor who voiced him a previous game.

Honestly, I would wait until they fix the combat balance.

His quips during combat can be a bit lame, sure, but otherwise? I don't see it.

Plus, I was speaking more about gameplay. His powers, his animations etc.

"Avengers currently in limbo, with Crystal Dynamics seemingly pushing back a number of it's roadmap objectives while simultaneously trying to fix what currently ails the game (loot, loot, and more loot). Since players don't know when fixes are coming, interest in the game appears to be tapering off at an increased pace and that's starting to come with a few noticeable issues for players that remain." - From one of the articles YongYea reads.

Anthem: First time?

Yeah, it's very much a "wait and see" thing right now. It's not looking good, but it's a damn shame because when the game is good, it's ****ing amazing. It's just not often enough.

Good.

**** this game. And **** games as service.

There is nothing wrong with games as a service if it's done well.

If the core gameplay loop is solid then it's nice to get a game consistently updated with content.

Games as a service is unnecessary, and just one more way to bleed you dry. I want a one time fee and then all the time in the world to play at my leisure, without having to worry about credit cards or wasting a subscription.

You do not need to pay anything when playing a service model game.

I have played probably 1000 hours between both The Division games and I have no paid a single cent after the initial purchase.

Same with Rocket League as well.

yeah i hear Destiny and a few others have gotten the idea right, Seems this Avengers game has failed at it.

Once again, you're misinformed.

I haven't played too much Destiny.

I just know from The Division 2, there is roughly 30-40 hours of campaign with 15 missions, untold amount of unique side missions and 5-7 different repeatable activities. The end game consists of 2 large stronghold, 5 new missions (free DLC) and an less than ideal repeatable mission.

Then they released a full add-on with an entire new map, new missions, new guns and armour, an 2 new bad guy groups. It's essentially an expansion pack

The microtransactions is currency, which you can use to buy cosmetics. However, through the game, you unlock lock crates that give these cosmetics. There is also ability to trash any cosmetic that you already have into a different currency, which then allows you to unlock specific cosmetics that you want.

The season pass doesn't add anything you cannot get by playing...just gives more drops, cosmetics and other stuff like that.
