I enjoyed the campaign a lot too it's just that after you beat the campaign the game sorta falls apart and you're left wondering why there's a post game at all.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

My problem with the campaign was I jumped into multiplayer first and didn't start the campaign until I was level 30 with Ms Marvel, so it scaled to her level and then when I got to the boss fight with Hulk versus Abomination, it was still scaled for her but Hulk was level 1. Nothing like learning a character for the first time when you can't do damage and can be two shot, or sometimes even one shot.

Winter Soldier and Cloning Labs coming Nov 29th.

From what I heard, Bucky isn’t a full on clone like Jane, but does borrow a lot from Widow and Cap.

in a game starving for engagement, deciding to make your newest character "guy with guns" instead of the telephasing android, magic sorcerer, or cosmic woman is loving baffling.

Pretty sure these have all been done for months. I realistically just want different boss fights, not another person that mimics skills of another against the same tired fights

We are getting a new MODOK boss fight this patch. He’ll hopefully be different than the final boss version.

I don’t get the huge desire for Scarlet Witch in this game, same for Dr Strange. The game hasn’t done too much magical stuff yet so I get why those two haven’t shown up yet, but where the hell is Captain Marvel? She’s been teased since before release.

Someone must be playing cause they are still putting stuff out instead of cutting and running.

Honestly, they get some respect for continuing from me. I certainly won't buy anything or play it and I only think about the game when this thread pops up in my bookmarks but hey, they didn't just gently caress off when the game didn't do gangbusters like any of the other companies that have tried and failed at the live service game thing.

Thinking about would it be more depressing to be working on this or for the company still putting out Everquest expansions?

On the one hand, come the end of March the last main update "will give all players access to all Marketplace cosmetics, including every Outfit, Takedown, and Nameplate that were previously purchasable with Credits. In addition, all cosmetic items previously earnable through Hero Challenge Cards and Shipments will also be made available to all players." On the other hand at the end of September "Marvel’s Avengers will no longer be available for purchase."

Eh, they held out longer than expected and added more post release content than I woulda thought or was justified by sales. Multiplayer staying up and all the cosmetics being granted is more than most of these failed games as a service teams manage.

And since that's Kevin Conroy's swan song they'll sell more copies purely out of interest as a result. (But it better not be a case of him basically being in it as a cameo. He deserved another full production with the advanced knowledge that it would be the end of his time as Batman, and obviously that couldn't happen, so whatever the make-do is, it better be worthy of his legacy.)

if there's one thing I've learned over the past few years from the various leaks for a major thing from a random non-verified source that seemed too terrible to possibly be true, it's that the worse it sounds the more true it probably is and it's better to be wrong than in denial until the last second

At least as far as I understand Suicide Squad is done by actual Rocksteady (Gotham Knights was the Arkham Origins team) so maybe the simple act of punching an enemy won't feel as weaksauce as it does in Avengers

I just started playing this on game pass and enjoy it as a simple beat ‘em up game. My kids are young and into marvel so they like to watch me play it.

I’m almost done with the initial campaign. Are the other campaigns worth playing through or should I wrap it up with this dead game and bolt after I finish the main Act I story? I saw the announcement that it’s going on life support pretty much ….now.

The Hawkeye ones are short. The Wakanda one is a little longer. I'd say if you like those characters than to go ahead and play the campaigns but you can stop after the main one if not.
