Current Events > Called it from the beginning. The Avengers game looks dope...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not going to be a launch purchase for me, will wait for a bundle when they throw in all the DLC. And it's on a Steam sale or something.

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.

This game has the same fight coordinator as God of war. That should give some hope.

Is Gambit or Punisher a playable character?

No. Not yet anyway. Probably will be a while for those two if at all. Pretty sure the base game is Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Captain America, Thor and Ms Marvel. Not sure if Ant-Man is playable or just an NPC. Hawkeye is the first post-launch character so still a long way to go until it's those two.

Thanks @Darmik those two are my favorite but they never get any love

Kamala Khan

Why is everyone all up on this chick now? Remember when everyone said Mr Fantastic sucked and his powers looked stupid when not in a comic? People said there would never be a good Fantastic Four movie partly because Mr Fantastic's powers looked ridiculous and gross. What the hell is the difference between Mr Fantastic and Kamala Khan?

You know, that makes a lot of sense

Theres no real difference? But anyone who says that is just an idiot.

I'm not entirely familiar with Kamala or the Marvel fanbase but two things
1. I think this is more Marvel's attempt to make her a more popular character rather than the fans actually caring about her.
2. In MUA3 she is slightly different from Mr. Fantastic in the sense she can expand the size of her fist and feet on top if stretching her limbs. But power wise she is still pretty much a copycat.

There is. Mr. Fantastic is just elastic and thus can shapeshift to a degree but his strength doesnt exactly increase exponentially. From my understanding, Kamala does. Her stretchyness is more like Ant-man in that her strength increases dramatically whenever she increases in size according to proportion. So Mr Fantastic can make his hand big and hard to deal damage, but when Ms Marvel does it she deals way more damage and can cause destruction via brute strength.

Mr Fantastic doesnt have super strength because thats The Things thing, Ms Marvel essentially does.

Someone correct me if Im wrong but thats my understanding of the difference between them.

There was an X360 game based off the first Iron Man movie, it was fun flying around as him.

The graphics still kinda look like ass.

Oh I played that, they even got the movie actors to voice themselves with brand new story dialogue. It was fun.

I'm still not impressed

I'm torn. I really want to like it, but having no idea how much is actually going to be added over time is a concern.

I saw a screenshot of "gear" that's farmable and has different stats and perks and buffs and rarity and boy was that a turn off.

That side of things does put me off.

Like it's one thing if they do it Borderlands style and you're building up a single character throughout the course of the game with your loot, but there are what, seven playable characters so far in this game? Doing a min-maxing loot equip balance for that many? Seems an exercise in frustration.

It looks good, but you know that some characters are going to be more fun to play as than others. It's hard to have a game where the characters are this varied, and have them all be good.
