It's a linear, singleplayer story-driven action-adventure with some light choices/role-playing bits thrown in.

If they are paying you twenty to play it, it might be worth considering.

I still can't get over how a Square Enix game about a marvel license comes out tomorrow and there's still absolutely no hype.

That's how **** Avengers was.

Marvel Avengers isn't even that bad of a game and future DLC's for it are free. The only thing that cost money are the cosmetics and character passes. It's a bad GaaS looter type of game, but it's decent for $20's.

Eh, the gameplay looked incredibly boring from a playthrough I saw and was just incredibly grindy. Very little redeeming about it, and numerous better games in that type you can play instead,

Every thread about it everywhere has people thinking it's a live service game, when it's not even from the same dev team.

imagine working on a game for years, one that people are saying is good, but because a shitty game from the same franchise came out a little bit before, people will end up passing on it.

I think the story mode content alone justify's the price tag ($20) and the only part that is grindy is the multiplayer aspect (which is the main gameplay loop for any GaaS). It's not a good game, but it's not that bad as many people are putting it. Day 1 bugs were probably the worst thing about the game though, I didn't get it day 1 but from what I saw streamers had to go through... yeah they were bad.

Eh, agree to disagree I guess. The story started off alright, but quickly took a massive nose dive for me and the combat looked particular bad. Maybe it improved later though. $20 for a middling to bad story with poor gameplay just seems bad to me.

Destiny and the other D one? I'm not a fan at all of that type of game though, so I'm probably not the one to ask, but lots of others looked at least more fun to play to me.

Still looks like a deep sale to me. Guardians of the Galaxy will probably be $30 or less in no time at all.

I played that Avengers game and it was a real stinker mediocre game play and full of glitches on launch I don't blame people for being hesitant to buy another marvel game from square after they screwed up the Avengers game so badly.

I believed in Eidos Montreal but yeah don't blame people for being skeptical.

I do wonder how this will end up selling. It's a make or break with the casual audience I guess.

the main story has some good set pieces if you can get it cheap thats enough to make it worth playing.

If this fails, Square-Enix can kiss the Marvel license bye-bye.

I hope it does well tho, as well as that Midnight Sons one, otherwise Insomniac may find themselves only allowed to make Marvel games.

I also hope it does well because it's a linear single player game and those tend to have a tougher time selling these days.
