Isn't that the 50% off price too? When I got the email, I was all like "hmmm, maybe I'll get that since the game has poten....HELLL NO!"

No, that's the full price. It's reduced (!) to $40 at the moment. Unlike the Founders bundles it's not exclusive to early backers - the only Alpha exclusive is a reward skin given for logging in every day during one of the tests. But also unlike those bundles it has a functional item in and we don't yet know what it does. If it's really good, and being a Lotus it possibly is, then there'll be even more pissed off people.

the game already has a thread in the MMO sub, and that thread was not started by ICR. So the game still has a chance of ending up good.

There are 2 things from this game that will never be topped:

1) The original description for Cycliops' Ultimate
2) The in-game receipt from winning that giveaway of every DLC. Sadly, I no longer remember which goon won it.

Also the feeling of full brutal moon knight's signature attack where you're just spamming out hits of like 5 million a piece. Big red numbers everywhere.

Or later, later's fine.
But now would be good.

I understand why more games don't do Brutal Strike kind of things as a stat, since crit-of-crit is either useless or mandatory for damage scaling, but also, it was fun as hell for stuff like Moon Knight, and how Ultron could be built to basically do like 3 very very slow moves that all did 7 figure brutals and you just rotated through them doing big chunky murders.

Avengers poo poo the bed at development phase, then got launched way too early. I don't see them recovering. I'd be amazed to find out that they have anything more than a skeleton crew creating new content for it. Same sad story as Anthem. Marvel Heroes had a really rough go early on, mainly because the monetization was greedy as hell, but they managed to turn it around. Most of their bugs and glitches were minor and related to animation and skill triggers. At least those didn't prevent you from playing, unlike in Avengers where I watched a friend of mine get repeatedly stuck on a boss fight because its character model would just warp out of existence. That wasn't the worst bug either, not even close.

I have no idea how the game plays but I'm kind of astounded that it launched with MODOK as the only villain of any notability you fight. Don't get me wrong MODOK is great but he can't carry an entire Avengers game on his shou... uh, head. I read a notification of a big content update awhile back and it was just more AIM randos.

I only know who Taskmaster is because of Marvel Heroes and I don't know who Abomination is. You'll have to do better than that for a AAA audience that isn't super into Marvel lore.

And if you're only going to have one villain group why pick AIM, Hydra is right there.

Abomination is bigger, dumber, weaker hulk who is evil.

I assume they picked AIM because it let them do a science thing and so you could have a bunch of robot enemies and turrets. I dunno. Game bad.

Asros and Winterthur have been giving out free stuff the last couple days or however long in some of the marble hebrons streams.

I was lucky enough to get a code for what I guess was a megapack 3. I don't know exactly, because I don't know how to scale down the receipt so I can read it in-game. Gave me every hero up to Beast, stash, default costumes, team-ups up to Jubilee, and 36500 G's.

"Fans also took the chance to ask Brevik about the version of Diablo 3 he was working on, if he thought it would be successful, and why it never came to fruition. “[It] would have been very different from any Diablo,” he replies. “I think it was really interesting. We used a lot of the game-structure concepts for Marvel Heroes. [It] was an APRG / MMO. MMO in terms of many people playing at once, not like WoW. It was scrapped because most of [Blizzard North] left.”"

I was watching Age Of Ultron and Civil War last night and it made me miss this game so bad. I remember when they had random drops as the only way to unlock characters and I managed to get Scarlet Witch right before they shut down the servers to flip the switch to splinters.

Ugh I miss it so much.
