What the gently caress? That's awesome, but what the gently caress?

They did say Injustice 2 was coming to PC, right? Any news on a timeframe for it, or should I expect it to be after all the DLC is done?

I like that they're putting so many different environments. That's definitely going to make exploring the open world more fun. I skipped Lego Avengers but I might pick this one up.

They actually just eased up on this and are allowing it again, but all the games coming out now were made before that decision changed

They'll probably try to do some X-Men DLC

Avengers Alliance wasn't in the MCU though. They referenced it plenty but it had X-Men and the Fantastic Four.

It was the best possible universe. It was mostly the 616 universes, except they occasionally copied some stuff from the MCU.

And they had a version of Civil War 2 that made sense.

I thought that they released episodess 1 and 2 for their Guardians of the Galaxy game but no more. And that came out in April.

They might just prefer a buffer Spider-Man. He isn't always spindly.

But if I had to guess, they got lazy or cheap and wanted it to be easier to use Spider-Man as a basis for Venom.

My biggest "Why" came when I saw the character select. That's a tiny as gently caress roster and, as a comment pointed out, some of those guys haven't been that way in the comics for a while. Where are the X-Men, as well?

I think fighting game sequels should have at least 50% new characters to be remotely exciting.
A Monster Hunter is in the first DLC pack, so I guess they're saving weird/unique picks for that. I would've done it the other way around and made people shell out for characters they were missing from 3.

edit: That's assuming that character packs were a must. In a perfect world we'd have 40-50 characters from the get-go, full of old and new, but that's not our world.

Apparently the game itself is not bad, aside from the underwhelming roster and it being generally ugly as sin.

The choice to focus on MCU characters makes business sense seeing as the MCU is the face of Marvel now, but it's disappointing since so many cool characters have been introduced or given new life in the comics since 3.

More, you can deduce the thought process behind it. Making a boring roster of characters everyones seen before is not good business sense.

PC's not so bad. Lots of goons earned almost the whole roster for free.

Not sure about the console version.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
You can level up any and all heroes to level 10 and they give you enough free money to pick whichever one you want to continue to level up. I haven't played enough to figure out how hard it is to get more heroes to higher levels, but it didn't seem super stingy with money (this was on PS4).

Sea Lily

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

On the PC version heroes cost between 200 to 600 eternity splinters, (most of them are 400) and you earn about 1 splinter every 8 minutes, with a chance that 1 splinter drop could be a 2, 5, 10, or 100 at random instead. Basically you get 1 hero of choice free, then 400 splinters to spend how you want, and by the time you're done with playing those two(or three) characters to max level you'll have enough splinters to get another hero or two for free

It's pretty generous honestly. Just takes some time. Splinters drop from everything you do so there's no splinter-specific grind or anything. The cash shop things are mostly cosmetic or boosts

Don't know about the console version but it's supposed to be similar. Worth noting it has a lot less content and like half the roster hasn't been added to it yet. PC version is a lot better for now

Though the only ones I've played are Wolf Among Us and Tales From The Borderlands, which are well-regarded as the two best post-TWD Telltales.
