    The decision to hew close, but not too close, to the MCU designs & character appearances remains distracting and detrimental. They should have gone with an aesthetic more unique and singular.

    Looks very "generic 3rd person action game" tbh, not a whole lot there beyond the official license.

    Yep I fear this will be battered next year when the reviews come rolling out.

    I fear more I might still buy it. :(

    They're going for the trademark MCU dialogue anyway.

    Emotional argument about Captain America dying. 4 seconds later, witty banter!

    Ugh.

    Have they tweaked the character models a little? Haven't checked but they look slightly less awful than before, a little less like MCU stunt doubles. Agree about the dialogue styling, as time ticks on my hatred of Joss Whedon slowly increases, for the effect he has had on pop culture and scriptwriting.

    The presence of Kamela Khan is a nice surprise though, presume this is an ensemble game, where the player keeps jumping between perspectives and "chapters" featuring different heroes.

    I hate the stupid jokes sometimes, a struggling depressed Thor who want's to die... oh lets make fun of him.

    Yup, IGN have a breakdown of how the mission and character selection works after the Gamescom presentation. It seems a little bit Destiny-ish although they've made it clear that the main campaign is 100% single player only. It also bodes quite well for the "regular content updates" after launch as hopefully they'll bring new side-stories and War Missions with new characters rather than relying on purely aesthetic content. I mean they have a working formula with how the comics treat major events with their tie-in issues for other characters, it'd be a shame if they didn't riff on that a bit.

    It's what should have been shown from the beginning.

    I have faith in Crystal Dynamics, their history gives me that, but i'm still not sold on this. May is a good bit away, so there's still plenty time to get excited.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,864 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Has been delayed until September


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,137 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    I'm not surprised. When was it due to come out?

    May. I'm happy it's been delayed. At least it's something of a sign they're not just rushing it out the door and will fix/patch later. I don't hold out a lot of hope for the game regardless, could be a fun playthrough for a while at least. But I'd rather a delay and a decent attempt to give something worthy of the name rather than a broken, buggy attempt to cash-in.

    Who is the main character in it? be **** if you don't get one of the avengers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,688 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    That'd be a cool limited edition... But not for 200 quid

    Big slappy hands looks like the main character.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,765 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    I don't think I've ever been as unexcited about a game coming out... There are plenty of games that have come out that I've no interest in, but it's like this wants me to have an interest, and so far i'm underwhelmed by it. Won't be going near it until a good few reviews are out, and unless they're glowing, I'll wait for the inevitable drop in price soon after release.

    I don't know why but this made me burst out laughing more than it should have.

    Will see what the reviews are like for it, not that i'm not open to new characters but in an avengers game like this would like to play as one of the A team.

    IIRC one of the previous videos or previews jumped between characters that the player controlled, though the "main" plot character was Kamela Khan. So you will control each avenger in separate chapters.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,577 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Don't click the below link if you don't want to know who the game's main villain is.

    Some sites (e.g. WCCFTech) are claiming the achievements list for this has been leaked online. They're mostly the usual "Complete X" or "Achieve Y" quests, but it also reveals some of how the early story will play out, as well as supposedly giving away the main villain. An interesting choice, in truth.

    Posted this on the division thread for some bizarre reason.

    I'm still confused on what this game is. Sounds like a superhero version of division from those achievements. Sounds like it would be better if you could create your own hero like dc universe.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,437 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Wow, these are awful skins as a bonus. Go from an all colorful crew to an all grey crew.

    That was more impressive than I thought it would be. It looks fairly deep in terms of unlockable skills, new characters etc as well. It's definitely gone up a bit in my estimation. We shall see what future "war tables" bring.
