How does loving forknife do marvel better than the actual marvel avengers game lmao

actual budget, dreadful crunch, legions and legions of devs, an understanding of what their playerbase wants, and enough clout that they can set their terms in using licensed characters more freely than most devs would I'd guess

Also they made a game before they started shoveling in Marvel stuff instead of shoveling a bunch of Marvel stuff in a big pile on the floor and hoping it coalesced into a game at some point.

The only thing that keeps this game from looking like complete garbage is that they'll never bother to actually complete it.

She looks pretty fun to play but like, what's there to play her in? Looks like she has a couple missions accompanying her, they look a little different environment wise based on the video but not drastically and then it'll be back to the usual missions with one more location in the rotation. Then this is all coming 3 months after the release of the game which was already quite short on content. Definitely not seeing them climbing out of the pit they've put themselves in at this rate.

I want to know how she switches between arrow types, because if it's like iron man or black widow where you need to cycle through (almost surely the case) then that sounds lovely and most people will just stick to one type forever. Probably the smoke one because of stun

I really loving hate the weapon switching

sometimes I want ONE particular type of weapon on Iron Man, and because he has very little visual representation of which one is a equipped I forget how many times I need to scroll my mouse wheel and it feels bad

just let me bind weapon selection to individual buttons

Well for one thing Fortnite isn’t a Marvel game and secondly Epic has more money than god.

Also all the best comic writers have that kinda bad-boy vibe where they treat it like they hate the comic but love the characters, y'know, and try and shake poo poo up. Epix can kinda take that attitude, whereas marvel themselves are kinda precious with their baby.

Now I’m imagining the bizarre and nightmarish hellworld that would be an Avengers game where Garth Ennis had full creative control.

Multiplayer is pretty fun too until a few hours in when you realize 'oh, this is all there is'

And if you're some skinnerbox-loving weirdo you can probably keep entertained with multiplayer for a lot longer than that.

Yea, gonna grab it on ps4 and then no online play. Though would that limit DLC stuff like Kate? Looks like she'll get her own story mission.

It's not out yet so who knows but I'd hope you don't need to complete the way too long and repetitive post-game mission chain to play the kate story.

Campaign was great; fun and well written/acted. Basic gameplay loads of fun. They sure poo poo the bed on endgame/late game content and paucity of new characters or especially new enemies was a death knell. I'll come back and play the expansion stuff when it dribbles out but am otherwise barely interested.

They should have delayed release significantly.

Yeah, if it hits $10 CAD I’ll probably pick it up. Seems inevitable it will, just a matter of being patient.

Or maybe in a few years they’ll release a “Game of the Year” edition with all the DLC that should have been in the game at launch. This trend of releasing half finished games then finishing them with DLC sucks.
