Any advice on how to build combos? One of my requirements for a daily task with iron man is “reach a combo of six hits while airborne” and it seems impossible to pull off, I’ve somehow done it once and I have no idea how. I figured maybe alternating attacks would do it and I’m sure I wasn’t hit but after beating a bunch of drones I got nothing.

I really wish it had a meter that showed you what your combo is at so I could figure this out.

My only real complaint so far is the matchmaking. Even "quick" match takes forever to find one or two players. I thought initially that maybe I had just focused too much on one character (Hulk) and that not many players were around my power level, but same thing with lower-level guys.

So what I'm saying is, do we have a discord or anything?

Yeah, is there a discord yet? I could use some ablative armour to protect Iron Man friends to play with.

Start on the ground with an enemy and use your light combo to knock him up in the air...while in the air, light combo should get you 3-4 more hits, and then finish off with heavy/ranged attacks.

Every character has a knock-up skill in their melee tree, use that on something scary that'll survive that many hits, literally anything that doesn't have a shield (or shield enemies with their shield broken) can be juggled.

Saw this on /r/playavengers:

quote:

Hi Reddit! Quick update. We are working on Patch V1.2.5 for consoles and hope to have it ready in the next several days.

Patch V1.2.5 will resolve a number of play-through stoppers among other fixes. Here is a preview of what to expect:

INFINITE LOADING SCREENS: V1.2.5 will resolve an infrequent bug where players are unable to progress with the campaign due to an infinite loading screen.

FALLING OUT OF WORLD WHEN ENTERING THE AVENGERS INITIATIVE: V1.2.5 Addresses the majority of instances of a partially loaded Helicarrier which resulted in characters infinitely falling out of world when trying to access the Avengers Initiative. There are rare instances where this could happen still, but the patch ensures that loading back into the main menu and then returning to the Avengers Initiative will resolve it. We are still working to eliminate this bug entirely.

UNLOCKED CAMPAIGN OUTFITS REVERTING TO LOCKED STATE: We prevented this from happening in V1.2.5, but the patch does not return outfits for those who have already encountered it – bad save states will be resolved In V1.3.0.

UNLOCKED MARKETPLACE & CHALLENGE CARD OUTFITS REVERTING TO LOCKED STATE: Marketplace and Challenge Card outfits will be restored and no longer become re-locked in the Cosmetics Inventory UI.

The patch after that – V1.3.0 – will be our largest yet and will resolve bad states for bugs fixed in 1.2.5, as well as address hundreds of smaller quality of life issues. We are rigorously testing V1.3.0. to ensure it is ready for deployment, and will update you when we have a timeline to share!

I really want to like this game but the frame rate on ps4 pro is atrocious even in high performance mode. Terrible input lag, just overall feels like a free to play game. That none of the planned patches address performance is very discouraging.

Anyone have seemingly bugged daily challenges? I’ve got one for Thor where I have to defeat 10 enemies with heavy attacks, but despite using nothing but spamming the triangle button I haven’t gotten a single one yet. Is this a bug or am I somehow missing something?

Really in awe of how amazingly well they've captured just the pure destructiveness of a character like Hulk. Dual wielding enemies, gigantic Donkey Kong ground-slaps sending everyone within a mile of you flying, and now I've found a perk that lets your Large Debris roll along the ground instead of breaking on the first enemy it hits.

Pretty much everything has some form a bug at this point.

I used the Cosmetic fabricator and it gave me a bunch of costumes and poo poo

only it didn't actually give them to me.

There's been people with similar issues with challenges just not working or getting enough points for a reward and getting no reward.

I've seen posts where people use the real money currency to buy stuff and not get it, which is turbo-hosed.

I like the game a lot, but between all the bugs, the part where PC players have issues playing the game at all, the typos/missing letters in the subtitles...dear lord did this game need another few months in beta/QA. It's not even technical things that might have not been caught until hundreds of people were playing, how on earth do you ship a game with missing/misspelled words in the subtitles?

Finish the story first. Nothing goes away.

Which is a bit weird considering before you start the final mission it gives you a big "YOU ARE ABOUT TO START THE FINAL MISSION OF THE CAMPAIGN, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO PROCEED?" prompt. You'd think that means everything you didn't do prior to that gets left undone.

It’s way better than pre-release made it seem. I think it’s the most fun I’ve had with a marvel game since X Men Legends II/The Good Ultimate Alliance Game.

I liked Marvel Heroes but in a different way, that was brain dead a lot of the time and was like my digital stress ball. This is a lot more involved but lets you do a lot of fun stuff like in that video.

this might be a hot take but any cap costume that has his ears sticking out looks goofy as gently caress

edit: also gently caress any nameplate with greg land "art" on it unless they credit the porn star he traced on the nameplate

Not sure if it’s the same as it was in beta but performance mode was worse than whatever the 4K mode was. It uncaps the frame rate but the game doesn’t know what to do with it so it jumps between 15-50 FPS and makes it feel worse. Might as well leave it on 4K and let it cap to 30 FPS which it was found to run better (mostly).

Digital Foundry did a video about it during the beta. Again things may have changed but it’s worth a try.

Because all they did was slap in a rough draft of the script to save time. Subtitle's don't normally contain stage directions.

Yeah I had that one too and I was getting nothing for it. When I try and see something isn’t going right I usually just swap out the challenge and hope it’s something I can do.

The performance issues are insane. I had two complete crashes during the final mission, sub 10 FPS framerate drops in cut scenes, one point where my character straight up disappeared and I was running around invisible, one point where my shield disappeared, and I’m pretty sure two cut scenes that just didn’t trigger at all. I don’t understand how you get a game to run this poorly.

also how the gently caress do you change characters? do we seriously have to launch a mission to swap who we’re controlling on the chimera/view their inventory and skills?

It's alright, the carrier really needs to be reorganized or at the very least let the player move a lot faster.

If you're on PS4 make sure the patch has installed before doing anything, or none of it counts.

For some reason even with 250gb available the patch didn't install for me and complained about insufficient space. It worked fine when I did it manually though.

But I hadn't noticed and finished a weekly and 2 dailies. Bye bye challenge points.

They eat your ....ugh, yellow bar super fast though. Anyone else find that usually you can't press circle to descend with iron man? It's super annoying when you want to land quickly so that you can dodge (which is in itself counter intuitive) and he just won't go down... Man. His flight is so cack.

Not that Twitch numbers are the end all be all a game’s success, but by that metric it’s dead on arrival for a game that’s been out for less than a week.

I’m super impressed with how well they’ve captured the “feel” of each character, and if they continue to do that on a regular basis with new characters and story content that’s even mildly comparable to the campaign then this game has a good amount of potential. The sheer breadth of combat abilities and movement styles suggests to me they have a very solid foundation that’ll allow them to bring in a wide range of characters with minimal development effort, though I do think the breadth came at the expense of polish. In my mind’s eye I can see the meeting where the team asked for two more months to try and resolve some of the lingering issues. The Square Enix managers took one look at the calendar, saw Cyberpunk and CoD in November, and promptly told them to get it the gently caress out there.

The foundation is solid. Whether it receives the resources it needs to be successful over the next three to six months is really gonna determine whether it has any staying power. My biggest concern is that lackluster sales numbers lead them to just pull the plug after three characters come out.

Wouldn’t be surprised to hear that a lot of people are waiting for a sale or next gen on this game. I’ve already told my friends that it’s very fun, but not worth getting now. I’m very confident it will sell well, just not immediately.
