    I only played the intro section so far. It stuttered a bit just before I controlled Thor and a bit more as Ironman. The voice acting is ok for the most part but the script is pretty by the numbers. The combat lacks a lot of weight for all of the characters, maybe its cause they are underlevelled but there isn't much impact. The audio when they hit an enemy only reflects it more and Captain America's shield sounds more like a bit an old bit of tin hitting enemies rather than a shield. Then flipping over enemies with shields felt cumbersome compared to the exact same thing I did with Batman 11 years ago. The bossfight with
    Taskmaster
    wasn't a great sign of things to come. Dodge heavily telegraphed attacks, shoot, lame hits and use a grappel gun that's iffy at best.
    After the opening you get a weird kinda low budget intro followed by you being put straight into a mission as Bruce Banner and someone who they never introduced.

    So not a great first impression at all. I won't even mention being asked to create a Square Enix account.
    I kept thinking that at least its a Beta they have time to fix these things but its out in a month. If you were upset about Spider-man being a PS exclusive don't be as by the time he will show up I can't imagine many will still be playing this.

    Never brought into the hype of this, its looked like a load of crap since day 1.

    Maybe it's a game that's better with friends.

    All games are better with friends. Digging a hole is better with friends. Having played this alone I can tell you its dogshít.

    Is this what they really thought the Marvel fans wanted? It's way too geeky, the hack of that villain people are talking about, Mordock? A face floating about! God I hope the films don't touch any of this stuff.

    The problem is even if the game is garbage it will still get plenty of sales from people who don't read reviews due to the Marvel name

    No harm in playing up to the more cartoonish elements of the story as long as it's a quality gaming experience. Surprised by how shoddily put together it all sounds.

    Oul Reddit does not like its dissenting voices.

    Are the missions character related? As in can I choose whoever I want to do a mission?

    Yes you can pick who you like, that's how meh the game is, either way your spamming attacks.

    Honestly, if you said the same as the above they probably assumed you were trolling.

    The characters name is MODOK and he's been around for over fifty years across a significant number of comics, cartoons and games. His design is definitely a bit more out there than some of the villains featured in the films so far but his inclusion in the game isn't massively surprising given his lineage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    It also makes sense to feature an arch-villain the MCU hasn't seen (nor is likely to ever see).

    As someone who doesn't like the comics I find him repulsive as a design, it annoys me haha. But yeah Reddit lads super sensitive me and another lad didn't like the game and commented our complaints.

    They're talking over there like this is the second coming. It's ****e lads.

    The Beta is open for all this weekend :)

    So only played the intro solo part up until you're on the heli carrier so I've not done the multiplayer mission yet so maybe that's different, but so far it's got too much narrow corridors/areas and little rooms. If you had missions like that with Black Widow or Hawkeye that'd be fine but it's all far too confined for the rest.

    Dunno how legit this is but a ton of characters were found from data mining the beta.

    Yeah that's been going around for the last week or so. It looks like they might be using echoes as in Kate Bishop would have same skills as Hawkeye but with different appearance. Same with Iron Man and War Machine

    To be honest the game seems more and more like Marvel Super-Ultimate Alliance. Where most heroes will essentially be reskins of many others with some small variances, but ultimately there's so little difference in terms of who you pick for whatever missions.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 18,693 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kimbot


    Pre-ordered last night, Im looking forward to this now :)

    So there's some sort of battle pass for additional characters after launch. €10 for each pass as they cost 1000 in game credits and 500 credits is €5. They say you will get your credits back of you do all the unlocks,how about you give me my €10 back of i do all the unlocks:pac:

    www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-08-29-every-post-launch-marvels-avengers-hero-will-have-its-own-usd10-battle-pass

    EDIT: It seems the battlepass for each character is for for cosmetics for new characters and not the charcter itself.

    Jesus the micro-transactions in this are like a bad free to play game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,015 ✭✭✭SMC92Ian


    They can say what they like but it's bs, we know it's either pay up or grind your life away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,197 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    I can actually see them changing their mtx/battlepass systems after a few months, due to backlash or lack of interest.

    Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory; an action adventure game with the Avengers IP should have been a slam dunk, yet here we are. Another AAA game with the publisher's naked greed unfettered and the end result something more akin to mobile shovelware than anything else.

    Probably the nature of the beast with such a high-profile (and money churning) franchise.

    Am sure the licensing fee wasn't cheap. Am sure Disney got had their fingers in the pie more so than others (it is the avengers) and I am sure Square Enix wanted to recoup as much money as possible and make a ton more at the same time.

    Gas isn't it.
