 Let's Play "Disney Infinity 2.0: Avengers" Disney Infinity 2.0 has the most dubious reputation of its trilogy. Its play-sets did away with the equalized focus on platforming/open-world goofiness/melee combat in order to focus on just one of those three things: the combat. General criticisms were that the game design was too repetitious, that the characters didn't feel different enough, and that the free-roaming NYC seemed lifeless and lacking in content. I just want to show you why it's fun anyway. Why is it fun anyway? A few reasons, some of them more shallow than others. In order of most shallow to least: . It's a game about superheroes going around hitting stuff. The setting is familiar if you've seen the Avengers film and its prequels, even if some of the story elements are very questionable. Tony still cracks narcissistic jokes, there's S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff plastered everywhere, and some cameos from Wasp, Sif, and Captain Marvel. . The basic combat design is refined from the first game, making it more fun to hit things. The core is still there, make no mistake, but this time around there's more of everything good and less of everything bad. Enemies take more hits, they put up an actual fight this time, and there's more of them per conflict. It just feels a lot less trivial now that there's some challenge to be had. . Characters feel more distinguished in their abilities and attributes. There are skill trees, unique moves for each character, and appropriate nuances to make them feel like more than palette swaps. Iron Man's rapid-firing repulsor blaster feels very different from Thor's slower, stronger hammer, for example. So how is this going to be played? We're playing through the Avengers Play-Set. In Disney Infinity, each play-set is like an individual game with its own story, mechanics, enemies, and missions. The Avengers play-set has 35 missions and runs about 4 to 5 hours if it's your first time through, but I've had quite a bit of practice. We're also going to be only using two characters: Thor and Iron Man. I've compiled a handy list of why this is: 1. They can fly. 2. Their play-styles compliment each other nicely, allowing me to show off both the shooting and punching almost equally. 3. It's difficult to adequately level up more than 2 characters during a single playthrough. 4. Any non-flying characters have to use the terrible motorcycle to get around. Hopefully that answers everything. Let's get started. Videos          Justice is a dish best served warm. GamesAreSupernice fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Feb 13, 2017 |

It only took 3 videos to acquire an attack that breaks the design.

The audio quality for this LP in particular has not been up to my usual standard and I apologize for that. The rest of the videos will still be uploaded, I just felt the need to state that I was aware of the drop in quality and have taken steps to ensure this doesn't happen in future LPs. My bad.

Maybe it would've been good to upload this one first.
