I think that the expectations for this kind of game are off and people are kinda set on hating it from the jump (for a lot of reasons, some valid tbf)

I like Live Service games. Want to say that upfront. Diablo 3, Borderlands, Destiny, Warframe, etc - I play them and I play them on and off for years. I'm playing this on PS4 and some of the final segments were chopped up so bad that I could legit count the frames.

That said, the foundation for this game and what they offer right out the box is plainly a damned good foundation for games of this mold. The campaign is kinda kids movie-ish, but still better than most Marvel movies. If you're playing on PC, the game looks damn good and runs 'very okay' for the most part.

The gameplay is the hard part to describe. Not because its overly complex, but because its constantly misrepresented in all the marketing and even in the damn game itself. Yeah, you'll beat up 4 or 5 goons at a time - you'll also be put in front of a couple dozen. And you'll also see giant fukking robots the size of warehouses and you'll get legit 1 v 1s with boss characters. The time you need to put into seeing if a character is even a good fit for you is the weird part though. I thought cap was trash until I realized what all the shield could do. shyt, Widow and Iron Man can actually change weapons mid-combo. I don't even know what Thor can do and I beat the game already.

So if you're on the fence, I'd wait for a free weekend. There's better stuff out that is guaranteed fire (Ghost of Tsushima - play that shyt if you haven't because its amazing). But if you're into hero brawlers and think you can deal with the early strides of a game blended between Anthem (without the bugs) / Streets of Rage / Diablo-lite... then check this out

Because its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay fukking better than Ultimate Alliance 3 and if they actually steadily improve upon what they built up here they're really gonna have something special.
Idk I like MUA 3 more than this :yeshrug:

they disrespected Hulk something serious in this game even though I still use him a lot.

and the costumes are garbage

They need to release some more patches way to many glitches. And refine the combat, it’s fun but on a low tier compared to other games in the genre.
