I really want to like this. I can see how the combo system can work and I can pull off some cool stuff sometimes, but I also know how much of a grind it’s going to be. But it also doesn’t feel super deep. Like a piece of gear will say “2.7% chance to get damage resist when you do a combo” and it never feels like that matters. I was hoping this could be a Destiny replacement but in Destiny the guns all feel different and the stats can make two of the same gun feel so different as well. And then some missions have secrets that certain characters can unlock but you can’t switch when you’re solo so you have to replay the mission where you run down grey corridors again and it starts to blend together. I don’t know, I’ll probably still pick it up day one because I’m a fool.

Info on the gear and monetization. Seems similar to Fortnite battle passes where you can earn enough premium currency in each hero pass to earn the next one for free. And they don’t expire so no FOMO. Glad to see the wallet squeeze isn’t that bad.

I would like to see a universal track that does expire every month. Make it have lesser rewards tho to even out. I can definitely see getting to level 40 shortly after the hero comes out and then having nothing to do for a month or two.

The beta was alright. It’s no Devil May Cry, but you can get some combos going. I realize now my issue is how defensive you gotta play when there is a lot of enemies. It doesn’t feel like there’s not a lot of hit stun on enemies so your combos can get interrupted easily. And sometimes projectiles fly from off screen and it’s hard to judge the little hit markers that pop up.

Just watched the end. Last boss fight is pretty dumb and funny. Like the movies, there's a mid-credit scene. Honestly, playable Marvel movie doesn't seem like a terrible comparison.

But this just came out today? So what the campaign is like 8 hours long? 6 hours??

I'd say about 6-10 depending on how you play, which I think is what most people expected/reported. Most of the game is going to be replaying the dozens of repeatable missions for loot. Story mode is mostly a big tutorial with cut scenes and easy loot drops.

Do you think the reason we’re getting Kate Bishop and Hawkeye so soon is so Crystal Dynamics can just recycle the bow mechanics from Tomb Raider? I’m not complaining, I loved the bow in those games.

I've been trying to slap on a lot of Nimble stuff just because getting damage boosts every time you perfect dodge lets you turn Cap and Thor into blenders.

That seems insane.

You have to remember that there were Fortnite items you could get when you finish the Beta. Wouldn’t be surprised a lot of folks did that and then promptly ignored it.

I keep wanting to play this like the Ultimate Alliance games or a DMC and just wade into a group of enemies and mash buttons, but I have more success trying to pick off a few guys at a time. I feel like this game can really open up in multiplayer when you can have your ranged heroes like Iron Man pick off turrets and have melee heroes like Hulk worry about the big enemies and get through fights faster. Either way, the game is fun enough to keep my attention for a few months.

They also really need to rethink the breakable door/ control panel thing because with two Hawkeyes, it'll be possible to have a whole team of human players and no one able to break open a door.

I bet Hawkeye will have a dumb bomb arrow that will work, but I agree that gating loot behind abilities is dumb. At the very least there should be a button to command AI teammates to bust open or hack doors. Or maybe have alternate opening methods. Easy way could be breaking it, or you could do one of those switch puzzles.

I’m okay with exotics being a mystery for now. I think it’s fun to chase mythical OP gear and gather info.

So I’ve been using Thor as a main for now, and when he gets going he shreds. And pinning troublesome enemies (like Stilettos) and punching them to death is so satisfying.

Wouldn’t be surprised to hear that a lot of people are waiting for a sale or next gen on this game. I’ve already told my friends that it’s very fun, but not worth getting now. I’m very confident it will sell well, just not immediately.

They mentioned they are releasing one. Between launch, COVID, and Boseman’s untimely passing, things are a little out of sorts. They’ll probably have another War Table stream next month before Kate launches and will reveal plans then.

The only reason to max out heroes right now is to do the Mega Hive, but that has some mediocre rewards too. They should try and fix exotics soon. Half the fun of these games is chasing these unique and broken weapons/armor.

I’m willing to cut some slack on this because it’s been only one month and we’re still in a pandemic. But on the other hand I’ve barely played these last two weeks and don’t have much desire too.

Played Kate’s missions after forgetting about it for a week. It’s good. Game is still a lot of fun, but the lack of major endgame activities are still a problem. God, they really should have delayed this to spring 2021 and have it be a cross-Gen title. Splitting the team between fixing, updates & upgrading is really hurting them.

Hello, I’m the big dumb apologist for this game. CD have probably been quite due to working on DLC, bug squashing and next Gen upgrades all at once and are spread thin. Rumor is the next dev stream is January 15th, hopefully for Clint to be released late January. Black Panther likely after that with a new Wakanda area and raid. Or the game is shutdown after Clint. Both are likely
