Yea, $40 CDN is too much right now. If I was still getting the danger bonus pay, ya i'd grab it but no. I'm probably better off waiting and grabbing Jedi Fallen order and/or AC Oddessy. That being said, I should probably work on Control or AC Origins first.

Though the fact Kamala is a major part of the game and Kate is the first DLC character is still real tempting.

Oh my! I can’t do it. I can’t explain it as a bad game connoisseur but I didn’t have the courage to get interested in the game. It’s one of those bad games I couldn’t get hopeful for. I like that excitement and hype factor where I can wake up and continue learning about a game. Just the feeling of that glimmer of hope and longevity.

And it’s gotta fill some fun categories for me like robots or loot chase or Marvel or something silly like that.

Godfall didn’t tickle my fancy enough, despite checking a couple boxes for me. :(

yeah. its a launch title poo poo out by Gearbox with all flash and no substance. the world looks sorta pretty but it apes destiny hard BUT WITH SWORDS but doesn't have a real personality. gently caress, it doesn't even have funny ragdoll physics. its a game i might pick up someday when its free on PS plus or when its cheap as free at a gamestop used.

buy them all. Jedi is fantastic. both the new asscreed games are solid(as is the rear end creed thread) and control is loving amazing.

Campaign was great; fun and well written/acted. Basic gameplay loads of fun. They sure poo poo the bed on endgame/late game content and paucity of new characters or especially new enemies was a death knell. I'll come back and play the expansion stuff when it dribbles out but am otherwise barely interested.

They should have delayed release significantly.

i think i am gonna bite the bullet and pick it up around the time i buy Gods and monsters and cyberpunk next month. at least if its cheap. i watched the oney plays play through and it seems like it has some fun moments enough.

Or maybe in a few years they’ll release a “Game of the Year” edition with all the DLC that should have been in the game at launch. This trend of releasing half finished games then finishing them with DLC sucks.

yeah it sucks

I don't mind if devs actually come out and say "hey this game is early access, you can pay for it now and play it without all the features if you want", but this trend of making GBS threads out a game that clearly not finished and pretending it's 1.0 needs to loving die

Uh, excuse me. This game is a living production. They can't bring you a complete production because there will always be new content to explore, because the game is always evolving. It's not a half-assed barely functional launch, it's being a pioneer, out on an unexplored frontier!

theoretically if they actually managed to release some new characters they could include the challenge cards in one?

Do you need to be declared game of the year by at least.... someone(?) before releasing a goty edition?

Once upon a time people sort of followed that logic and then Two Worlds II declared a GOTY edition and it's been pandemonium ever since.

I think studios will see the results of this game and probably godfall and maybe finally decide that loot games and GaaS are not GOOD if you don’t have the content for it. They sell like poo poo when the word of mouth is bad and that happens most of the time. People are tired of this poo poo

Yeah, pretty disappointed that this game is basically just a great, not-long campaign and tacked on repetitive grind. I haven't played it since last week now that the charm of playing my favorite Avenger wore off.

If this had come out in the PS2 era, it wouldn't have had any multiplayer components. Instead, after you finished it the first time you'd unlock Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, Mariah Hill and Punisher. The second time you finished it you'd unlock Black Bolt as a playable character who only really had one, slow, but utterly annihilating attack. And if you finished it without ever taking any damage you'd unlock Tony Hawk. There would be collectable secrets to hunt down in every level that were cleverly hidden, and getting them all would unlock MODOK in his final form and it would be my favourite game ever.

If this came out in the ps2 Era it would be a sequel to what is still probably the funnest incarnation of a superhero game, X-Men Legends 2. I don't know anyone who still plays this. Even the super nerdy knows everything British goon who loves the avengers from my psn list is playing miles morales.

You'd think they would get that GaaS is an failed experiment, but each developer thinks they're the one to create the game that will break though and make it a successful revenue stream. Thing is, Avengers is a terrible property to do this with. People want to play with their favorite characters, that's it.

Well yeah, but I think that came out during 360/ps3 Era so ps2 Era it would have followed legends 2 and predated ultimate alliance.

Except it came out feeling less like ultimate alliance and a lot more like Too Human and Xmen Destiny had a gross next-gen baby.

It feels like it won't even have time to go haphazardly f2p. It's just going to die.

I spent way to much money on Marvel Heroes do not regret it because I enjoyed it a lot.

You get my money by making Angela or Magik 15$ packs with costumes.

It's 26.99 CDN on amazon right now. I'll probably grab it for that.

Gotta hear every word of that mission debriefing. Also if it's cross-play then they can't really have the PS5 players loading into the level faster.

It also doesn't help how this keeps happening and the only way to make it stop totally, is to stop buying them, at all.

Even if it goes on sale for a dollar, don't buy it, if you've even been tempted to buy any sort of microtransaction.

I haven't even finished the single player. I was pretty motivated to play it at first, and I got as far as Black Widow, but I haven't played in a few months and just feel no desire to relearn moves for the characters to get through the rest of it. May end up just deleting it, which is a shame. The delay of the next gen patch really sucks.
