It's a shame, the game really did have good bones to build on, the core gameplay was compelling imo, I really liked the feeling of playing as iron man.

A shame, but 100% expected. They could've had something fun if they hadn't repeatedly fucked it in development.

Yes he died about 5 years ago, but I'd like to announce it now.

Yeah, that's kind of what I expected with EA. I agree though, that the game had a great foundation. The flying especially, is so satisfying, even though I wasn't a fan of the "fly into water to cool off and stay airborne" mechanics.

Yeah the cooldown mechanic was just a glorified stamina bar that kept you more or less on rails and slow you down to keep the map feeling bigger than it was.

100% I would have played again. I enjoyed the game, there just wasn't any compelling content to work with past the combat, it just needed more missions/areas/javelins/ect...

Kinda like how warframe's content works.

As a general rule, if there's no offline single-player, I'll quickly forget a game even exists.
It's worked out pretty well so far.

About fucking time they shit canned that failure, they should never have wasted time on it before making Andromeda the best ME ever. Maybe they will finally devote the needed skill sets to a proven franchise before they dick around with an experiment.

I got it for like 5 bucks and its fun gameplay but not good enough to stick around. I feel the games built to make money first and be a video game second tend to end up to same. I expect to hear the same about the new Avengers game if they havent already announced it went the way of old yeller.

It didn't have any content. It just had the core gameplay, an open world map, and about 10 hours of missions to do. Other than that, it had 4 repeatable endgame dungeons that took about 30-45min to complete.

Oh god, thats sounds almost what Marvel Avengers is right now lol. Some of these developers need to take notes how Destiny 2 managed to save itself.

I just don't get how they didn't learn this mistake from TOR. They were able to salvage that with wonderful story and getting end content out, but they knew what was required from similar games and still didn't do it.

Because when bioware started development on this, they were at the height of their popularity, high on their own farts thinking they were infallible.

Lol

Now we take bets in when Avengers gets this same announcement. Will it last the year?

It's hilarious how many of these Games as a Service titles have flopped. Even Destiny 2 was considered a disappointment by Activision. Wonder if they'll even bother trying anymore. F2P multi games seem to be the thing now.

It's more on gamers being ignorant asses that can't remember the last thousand times they've been disappointed by AAA titles. Especially when EA has any hand in the title.

It's still a GaaS though and F2P games tend to be predatory, which is the main reason so many of them are making a shit ton of money.
