Micro transactions ruined this game
Wdym? The GaaS model in general or actual micro transactions in this game in particular? For the latter, I think their market shop is over priced. It’s entirely cosmetic, so it don’t affect actual gameplay. But some costumes and take downs cost up to $12-$15. That’s the price of some expansion dlc in other games.
I’d say the overall bugs is what has tarnished the game though
Marvel Strike Force, a mobile app, has better looking character models than this.
I thought that was what the delay was for tbh. They put Thor's hair in a bun? That was it?
Man strike force is superior in every way. I have more fun with that than the avengers game
one of the goat mobile games
Damn bruh Avengers is like “What Could Have Been: The Game”.
I now see that the bad reviews were not because the game was actually BAD, it’s far from that, but because it has all the pieces to be game of the f***ing year, yet they completely missed the mark. It’s the definition of missed potential. What could have been an all time classic, ends up being a serviceable, good enough, average ass game, wit flashes of greatness.
I’m not done, I have like 5 missions left, but I’ve played enough to form an opinion on it.
The main problem is obviously the fact that they focused so hard on making this a multiplayer/GaaS game. Multiplayer obviously makes sense for the Avengers, and they could have tacked that on, but making it the focus, especially the GaaS aspect, makes zero sense. There’s too many points in even the campaign where it’s crystal clear that all they cared about was making it multiplayer. Including the fact that you have to wait in a “lobby” before each mission, even when you’re not connected online and not playing wit any other players or waiting for them to connect. On top of that, there’s a mission in the campaign that is essentially capture the flag, and was clearly meant for you to connect wit 3 other players for it.
It’s like they had no clue what they wanted to do wit the game. The game starts out wit A-Day, which is some of the most cinematic s*** I’ve played in a while. It was on the same level as Insomniac Spider-Man. Then after that, it flip flops between tryna be a multiplayer game within the campaign, and displaying the multiplayer features, then suddenly bouncing back into being strongly narrative driven and momentarily looking like a campaign again. Some of the writing and acting was legitimately great. A lot of Ms. Marvel’s scenes are legitimately good. Hulk fighting Iron Man was an amazing scene. S*** like that. But it’s jus so inconsistent because they were directionless on this game.
If they focused and made this a focused 30-40 hour single player experience, and stayed in it’s lane like Spider-Man, and built on the momentum that A-Day starts the game wit, this could have been phenomenal.
Something that also bothered me, and also obviously another huge missed opportunity, is since it’s the Avengers, you need one big main villain. Which in this case is MODOK. But from there they could have easily stretched it and made side missions out of each hero’s individual villains. Red Skull for Cap, Loki for Thor, etc. They briefly touched on this and gave false hope by introducing Abomination and having you fight him as Hulk, but it literally never goes further than that. After that it’s jus faceless robot after faceless robot and faceless AIM agent after faceless AIM agent until you get to MODOK. WHY would you not build on that?
S*** is the definition of a 6-7/10. What a damn shame because it could have been absolute greatness.
how long is the story and is the story worth it?
i could borrow the game from my local library for some weeks

Sounds very disappointing.
Marvel should’ve just gave Insomniac the license to make their games instead.
how long is the story and is the story worth it?
i could borrow the game from my local library for some weeks
Your library has PS4 games?
I've been playing this every weekend since release and it's slightly better now than it was at release. I still find enjoyment in it.
Plus with the Shield Substation Hub being added within the next week or two, Kate Bishop at the end of October, and the rest of the monthly hero drops (which leaked), I think this game is going to become really good by the spring.
Just picked this up used. Is this worth playing now or should i wait until the ps5 comes in?

I’d wait. Kate Bishop coming at the end of the month, Hawkeye in November, Black Panther in December.
They need to release a Wartable soon man the lack of a roadmap doesn't look good for this game
The SHIELD Substation was should have dropped by now and I know CD hasn't already abandoned this game
The lack of information is stressful tho, I can't do the same missions all day to try and get my Cap to 150
I don’t have the motivation to finish this game. The story is decent but man it get boring after a while.
As a sign of our appreciation for being with us from the start of this journey - beginning at 10:00 AM PDT October 22, players will receive a digital thank-you bundle, which includes:
FUTURE MARVEL'S AVENGERS CONTENT
Moving forward, we intend to have a fixed, predictable patching cycle to ensure all new content meets both our and your high standards and has time for extensive internal testing. We know fans are hungry for new content, but delivering a fun experience is our priority. With this in mind, we’ve decided to push Kate Bishop’s Operation launch back a bit, out of October. We’re sorry for this slight delay, but we are dedicated as a team to quality first.
Kate’s new Operation will be a must-play for fans wanting to know what’s next in the story! In Marvel’s Avengers: Kate Bishop — Taking AIM, Tachyon Rifts become a harbinger of a new threat. As players investigate the source of them, they will pick up on a story that begins shortly after the conclusion of the Reassemble campaign. Then comes Clint (we’ll have more information on him later) and looking into 2021, our biggest Avengers Initiative addition yet will introduce a new Hero, region, and narrative arc.*
We’ve also made the decision to shift our PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S launch to next year to ensure that we give our team the time to deliver a next-gen experience showcasing all that this game is meant to be. More details to come.
Until then, however, you’ll be able to continue playing the current-gen (PS4/Xbox One) Marvel’s Avengers game on next-gen platforms to take advantage of their powerful hardware, be it via inserting a physical disk or redownloading the game. Two of the most obvious benefits of this are improved frame rates and faster loading times. In addition, players who make the jump to the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S will still be able to play co-op with their friends on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One respectively as well as carry their existing save-game forward to the next-generation of consoles!
All the above will be available to players at no additional cost, including the next-generation upgrades for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
yep delaying content for a game that is in need of massive help and next gen versions delayed
Final nail in the coffin

Would've been avoided if they delayed a couple of months to launch with Next Gen tbh
New content did drop yesterday tho

Gonna wait till this goes next gen and they add a few more characters and content before I drop back in. Sounds like Wakanada/Black Panther is next
Who knows if I’ll still want to play it then tho
They should’ve held it and released on next and current gen all at once
Will wait to pass final judgment until Black Panther drops. By then, this game will be what it’s going to be.
If you have the game and are waiting to play again until new heroes drop, I would just boot up the game to claim it and then let it sit
