I'm not playing as much as I used to, so yeah, sort of. Listen, I hope I'm wrong, but I've got no tolerance for that sort of model and the way it turns a game into a daily chore.

Fair its not for everyone

But some people like games having life in them for years. I think this model is very interesting for a super hero game. Weve seen games like Akham and Spider-Man do well and be successful but its smart theyre doing this for the avengers. Adding new heroes and whatever else is pretty awesome

It does look pretty cool, honestly. Never understood why it got so many "it looks like trash" comments, but eh...opinions. I might wait for the PS4 open beta, since I'm not sure I want to pre-order it for the beta.

I'm not opposed to these Games as a Service games but despite always saying they have good single player campaigns they basically all fall flat for me and it's clear the game is designed around coop or some sort of carrot on a stick grind to keep you playing.

The best one is probably Destiny 2 and that's still average at best compared to other FPS campaigns.

Yeah, I've kinda noticed that too. It's why I'm not willing to jump into the pre-order beta. It looks cool, I'm just hoping it has good gameplay and isn't just a straight button-masher like it appears to be.

it is weird they cant use the real actors likenesses. I imagine getting all those movie stars to do the voice work would have been too expensive though

Yall really dont want this. Just because theyre A list Hollywood celebrities who are great in movies doesnt mean they can voice act worth of shit. Like you said having the budget inflated by millions really want Scarlett Johansson phoning in a performance? And what happens if one person doesnt agree? You get 5/6 avengers but Ruffalo says no?

It seems like a terrible idea to me. And so much of this hate towards this seems to be this really strange block in peoples minds that they now cant picture anyone else being the avengers

This, but also...I kinda don't mind the "discount MCU" look. Looks fine to me.
I'm actually half-expecting some unlockable costumes for each character to be directly taken from the MCU as well, like what Insomniac did post-launch with the Spider-Man game.

yeah as long as the voice acting is good it's better that they didn't waste a bunch of money on that

I just recently watched all the MCU movies and was literally thinking they should make a game like this. had no idea it was even being worked on

I think the actor issue is really noticeable because it has the same style of the MCU.

Ultimate Alliance 3 and Spider-Man didn't really have that issue since one has a distinct comic book inspired artstyle and the other went for a distinct costume to help it stand out. Which is what reboot movies often do.

This was a whole weird situation to me and maybe Im out to lunch but I think Peter added WAAAAY more to the lines than Nolan North.

Also the other thing about having MCU actors is the questions of canon would be brought up and make shit mad confusing for people.

This draws a nice line in the sand that this is their own story.

Do you think the MCU invented these characters?

First of all Iron Mans look is directly based on the comics, not the MCU.

Second in what world do you think they would put an Avenger in this game and their appearance be so out to lunch to differentiate from the MCU that theyre completely unrecognizable.

The Avengers exist outside of the movies. They have been in these things called comic books for 55+ years

I don't know why everyone anticipated them looking like the movie actors when they have been drawn differently over a much wider timeframe.

I dunno. Other superhero properties don't seem to have that issue. The Batman movies all look distinct from each director and the Arkham series looks distinct from that and the Injustice series looks distinct from that.

Same with the Spider-Man movies and Insomniac's game.

Maybe it's impossible for The Avengers game but I dunno. It just looks so familiar to the MCU. The style, the tone and even the way they handle the plot.

Just let it exist and youll get over it quick. I legit think because weve seen like 20 variations of Spidey and Batman in our lifetimes alone its not a hard sell for anyone to be either. But people ONLY know the Avengers through the MCU

Some characters I really hope they add

*Ant Man. I know they teased Hank Pynchon in one of the early trailers so Im surprised Hawkeye was announced as playable before him. But his gameplay could be REALLY fun and interesting if they figured how to do proper shrinking and growing mechanics.

*Dr Strange. Cmon. Who doesnt wanna be the soccer supreme.

*X-Men. I hope they just do a whole X-Men expansion and add a ton of characters, it would be awesome to see them fleshed out with their own big story arc.

Ghost Rider. Different pick for me but If feel hed be super fun in this style of game and have a ton of customization options.

I still don't like it. More power to people who are looking forward to it, and if it turns out to be good then I'm happy that I'm wrong, but I think the character models look like ass and the combat looks like dogshit to me.

Keep in mind, I was virulently against God of War 2018 because I objected to the shift towards what I perceived to be slow, grounded, Dark Souls-inspired combat like every fucking thing was doing in the 8th generation. And when the game came out and I was able to see what it was like, I ended up fucking loving it. So maybe this will be like that, where I reject the basic design of a game based on previews but end up really enjoying the whole product once it comes out.

Saying that - God of War 2018 always looked pretty awesome graphically, whereas the Avengers characters look generic and gross. It feels like they're trying to ride a line between cartoony and realistic, and all it accomplished is a bunch of character models that, at best, are metres away from falling down the uncanny valley. And I've seen Thor's gameplay - I think it looks terrible.

With God of War, I was buttmad because they cleaned up this stupid-ass arcade hack and slash franchise for what looked like cheap clout, like if they made The Last of Us with Kratos. I was against that because sometimes you just need some stupid bloody fun, so why would you clean up Kratos and put him in a grounded story? Ultimately, that did work out. This time, I think the game just looks half baked. The characters look bland, the story is shaping up to be bland and unsurprising - if they haven't already announced it, I'm willing to bet $20 that Captain America isn't really dead - and the combat I've seen looks so clunky and bad. Literally the only thing I've seen that makes me excited is MODOK, and even that can't carry an entire game if the product he's in is a bunch of half-baked, barely cobbled together shit.

Again - more power to you if you like how the game is shaping up. I think it looks awful, though.
