Marvel's Avengers | PS4/XB1/PC/PS5/XSX | Out Now

OK Nooooooow the hulk gets invulnerable when you spam that shyt
There need to be a tutorial for this shyt people are sleeping on it
This mf can be an unstoppable tank with this

Yeah, Hulk has to be bursted down basically.

I think the worst part about this game's reception is that people are gonna go through the intro and think its anything like the rest of the game. It ain't even the real tutorial either. You don't learn anything significant until unlocking the HARM stuff. You have zero moves really and none of the enemy diversity is on display. I had a legit co op match where I was basically tossing stunned goons into the air for an Iron Man to slice up between buffing the party... this game is legit and the 'streamlined' aspect shouldn't be outshining the co op element.

The marketing is just plain bad for a Marvel product. The game is misrepresented quite a bit.

Everything I've seen about the gameplay of this game tells me this shyt shoulda been a straight X-Men game, no Avengers. Something about the engine and the hero 'types' pretty much screams a framework to build a Borderlands-style X-Men game, and I honestly think it would have been better than this was, because people have a level of expectation now with the Avengers for them to align with the movies moreso than the comics. X-Men wouldn't have that issue, and they could go straight MUA-style comic homage stuff. But I can't get over how jarring it feels to see this photorealistic Avengers team and have them all look... wrong to my brain.

It makes the game mentally feel like it's the TV Show spin-off property from a successful movie series. Like they couldn't afford any of the original cast so they recast everyone. And I feel like I can't be the only one who just gets that instinctual reaction when I see the characters. Like... nikka you ain't Thor Maybe Modi or Magni, but nikka you ain't Thor. The cultural zeitgeist understands the Avengers as fighting galactic-tier threats now - watching Hulk spend a whole-ass minute punching a robot's health bar down seems underwhelming, level system or not. Xavier's folks wouldn't have that issues.

Plus, I think them trying to shoehorn X-Men into this game after the fact would be done terribly.

I guess long story short, I think this framework would work best as an X-Men game. And I think they'll probably do one, too. I just wish we'd skipped straight to that one, because I almost guarantee it'd be the better experience.

Yal gonna have to come to terms with the fact that Sony/Disney/Fox/Marvel fukkery means that XMen will always pushed to the back when it comes to games now

I was just saying I think the Avengers property is too big to be running comparatively smaller-scale games like this after what Infinity War and Endgame did. It doesn't need to be X-Men specifically. Different storyline, and this coulda made a nice Guardians of the Galaxy game. I just mean the team's scale. You can do this kinda adventure with a smaller-classed team. If this had been DC, I'd be saying this woulda made a clean Teen Titans/Suicide Squad type game.

It's the same reason Superman games have issues - the power level of the character as we understand them doesn't fit in well with a grindy kinda game. Hulk needing to punch a trash mob more than one without pasting the thing's insides on a wall just seems...dumb. Thor taking bullet fire and dying is dumb. A higher-leveled Black Widow in co-op with an Iron Man doing more damage with her guns than he does with his lasers is dumb. I think there's something here if you like the GaaS thing, but damn I think it woulda been a more enjoyable game full-stop if it hadn't been the Avengers doing something this small-scale.

I'm just saying, if you're gonna do an Avengers game in the post-Endgame world... the first villain can't be MODOK, bruh. Not after fukking Thanos.

And its not the same as the movies

yal overthinking this imo

Disney owns X-men & Fantastic Four now don't be surprised when they make a game down the line once they get the movie series running.

 

[Jimmy ValenTime]

I played it and ita fine and in six months might be a. Great game but they are going to have to patch the hell out of this game

An I wish the screen was less cluttered

 

[Ironman]

They know damn well nobody wants to play with Hulk for this long

If they modeled him off of Ultimate Destruction version they would

Graphics are insane on PC
