Square Enix's Avengers

[Sithborg]

MODOK as a main villain is a good and interesting choice but there has be other major villains in the game than just as bosses or cameos.

Except for the fact they changed him into Bastion...

It is going to be interesting to see how they can hold interest with just loot. Just looking at Monster Hunter, the monster is almost as big of the draw as the loot.

I don't see how they did that but it's still MODOK and he's still a good and interesting choice to have..IMO

I liked the looting in the beta, so I'm not against the looting system just because of the concept. There's more to this game than being a looter anyway..IMO

 

[The Infernal]

I'm wondering, how is everyone finding the level design or the explorability? I have trouble picturing people playing a looter having patience for that one guy would wants to find all the door keys for that locked AIM door.

Its fine. The camera just ruins it and the small roster does make feel the game limited as of now. Graphic wise, its one of the most good looking Marvel games to date despite the costume designs. It looks better than MVC: Infinite, MUA 3, Lego Marvel and Avengers Battle for Earth and the movie tie in games that came out in the 2010s. Only Spider-Man 2018 looks better. The bar for Marvel games in the current gen consoles aren't high though. Its kinda frustrating when I think about it. The outdoor places are big enough that you can waste time there if you want.

I've only played single player missions. I don't care about the multiplayer. I wish we could switch characters in an instant though.

 

[Zorro]

The camera needs improvement tweaking but it's not that bad where it "ruins" the game. Still very playable

Well it's not really singleplayer though. You've just switched off matchmaking (as I did whilst getting to grips with the gameplay), but I agree that switching characters when playing offline and by yourself would be appreciated.

Marvel's Avengers Beta Opens Up To More Players, New Patch Notes Detailed [Update]

Open beta this weekend with a patch update. Supposedly, there are working on reducing screen shake. Probably part of a day 1 or week 1 patch

I wish the devs had a survey because id recommend characters swapping in single player too.

Well you can get used to it. But I wouldn't recommend it to be played for 3 to 5 hours straight. I felt numb after playing due to the shaky camera.

And yes, it does the "ruin" the game and the eXperience as there would be a difference if only they fiXed the camera. Its not something that can just be ignored by anyone. Imagine if Spider-man 2018 had the same camera.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I have yet to be bothered by these camera issues people have been describing, but I dunno.

Anyway, I have been playing a lot of Iron Man and it is just so awesome to perform moves we've seen in the MCU. I love how he fights

 

[Zorro]

Hulk is the most fun despite some health issues as he's such a powerful force but as fighters in combat, Cap and Iron Man are the best!

Ms Marvel and Thor are a good balance of both but just aren't as fun as the others. Black Widow is alright but since she's powerless, there's not too much to her

 

[psylockolussus]

Can you even play Cap and Thor outside of their A day segments in the Beta?

 

[The Infernal]

Not that I've seen. Which is a shame as the beta feels really small imo. I really can't make much of what the singleplayer is supposed to be like either. Unless it's just like the multiplayer it's just grindy semi-open maps to loot and the A-day segments are a small portion of introductory missions.

 

[psylockolussus]

From the menu, it looks like there are 7 to 9 main locations iirc. So we probably already saw half of the locations for the launch campaign.

 

[Green Goblin]

Anyone else find the game too easy in co-op? The revive mechanic would be better if someone could only be brought back at the next checkpoint.

 

[The Caped Knight]

So this is the edition that I'll be receiving for Xbox One next week.

Exciting.

Exciting.

I know i got my email tracking order confirmation for it. I can't wait

 

[The Infernal]

I'm not really feeling this "A day" story. It feels more like the story you tell at the end of a series. They should have started with either an established team or an origin story imo.

In contrast Gotham Knights has the luxury of pulling the "Batman is dead" (probably not really) storyline after the Arkham series has played out a version of Bruce's arc, even if it isn't directly related. Avengers is essentially pulling the final farewell story as its beginning in a vacuum of Avengers videogame content.

Gotham Knights gameplay so far does look more interesting from what's been shown in contrast to what I've seen of Avengers. I'm not seeing any real mission variety with this game and I don't see any real evidence of interesting boss battles or that there will be much content at release.

 

[psylockolussus]

Yeah it would have been cool to see the Avengers active, instead of these post A day events. The Avengers base looks abandoned and lifeless.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

The avengers base is upgradable as you progress. It goes back to being a fully functional helicarrier I believe.

What kind of options will we have? So we'll eventually be hanging out in the air!? I like that

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I saw some screen shots that seem to indicate that will be the case.

 

[Zorro]

Nice

 

[Gee]

I got the beta installed since Friday night but only decided to boot it up few hours ago (shows how disinterested I am towards the game) to at least play the bridge part then I get welcomed by a screen to register for a Square Enix account...

Yeah, no thanks.
