If I’m Crystal Dynamics, I release Avengers: Game of the Year Edition this summer.

Don’t worry about adding anything new at all. Like, at all.

Just call it A: GOTY Edition and sell it like hot cakes.

I think the game is a good single player game and nothing there interests me at all. Like, just give me more characters and story, not more GAAS stuff. This shouldn't have been GAAS from the start. Ugh.

I guess replaying the missions on PS5 might be fun to see how it looks.

Be nice if this would just go free to play already so it can die off. It was fun to mock it at first, but now it just feels like picking on a special needs kid. They genuinely just can't do any better. :saddowns:

Is 'free for those who own the core game' basically saying there'll be some form of F2P version by the time it comes out?

I have very little restraint spending a few bucks to play character dress up and played this game way longer than most and still the only time I ever spent credits was when they gave some out for free

I honestly don’t think anything you can buy in this game is cool looking or fun

So I finally started playing the campaign. Boy. How is it possible that every character reminds me of a different, better game I could be playing?

I'm a fierce defender of Sega's old Captain America Arkham ripoff that was critically mauled. And even that did a hell of a lot better job than anything I just experienced.

Everyone feels better once you get more skills unlocked too. Kamala is fun all the way through, but the others don't feel right until you open up the skill tree.

Yeah this, lots of the characters feel meh until you flesh out their skill trees a bit. Another reason why slowing leveling is dumb, so many basic attack moves locked behind skill points.

Iron Man should have had all three ranged options available from the start, his entire gameplay style is about changing between them as the situation changes since they also change how he melees.

This game needs a total rework of the gear system and endgame loop, new characters or missions aren't going to save it.

The lack of cosmetic gear sucks, especially for a 3rd person brawler game. I love customizing my space Barbie in Destiny and I can’t even see what my dude looks like in that most of the time. Mixing and matching iron man armor bits would be :discourse:

They've announced a new villain sector already, it's the save transfer system.

:sickos:



How much save data is actually stored server-side for this game? Why could I not just do a fresh install of the PS5 version and have my progress and stats get downloaded, like almost every other GaaS does it?

What happens if you're playing the current PS4 version and you 'delete' your save? Do you start over fresh? Do the servers not dump that stuff back onto your console and there's a save recreated with your current stats?

EDIT:

The only data that is stored server-side seems to be microtransaction purchases that are tied to your account, all character data is local only. Lots of people have lost all their progress because CD and SE did not warn people.

We are investigating reports of issues with the save transfers, as mentioned in this thread please do not delete your PS4 versions before completing the migration process successfully..

IIRC the only things stored server side were the things you paid real money for, so like at one point people were losing outfits that they had unlocked, and they were able to roll back the ones that people bought with real money pretty quickly, but everyone who lost outfits they got from playing the game got to pound sand for a while.

Apparently they committed to making it playable offline so that's why?

Hah, I just moved house, can't get a wired connection to the same room as the TV. I thought, "Well, I wanted to get a PS5 anyway" and so pulled the trigger on one, thinking y'know, with WiFi it would all be cool and good.

Avengers isn’t the only game that requires you to upload a save via the PS4 to some third party cloud so you can reuse it on the PS5. That’s on Sony for not providing a clean way to bring PS4 saves over.

It wouldn’t save it, no, but it’s just one of the ways the endgame gearing up stuff sucks. In addition to being pitifully slow. And not having interesting loot. And everything being TOO disposable. I liked infusing some items up in destiny to keep them as I leveled my gear score instead of everything going in the trash.

I don't think Sony is responsible for converting saves between two different games they didn't make.

For the same game (like playing Death Stranding PS4 and then playing the same version on your PS5) it's like, two button presses to put it in the cloud and back.

Honestly this thread is down on it, and rightly so, but if it was only the single player campaign, and no promises of anything else to come after, it wouldn't have NEARLY as much bad blood going on. Or, I don't think so. I really enjoyed the single player game, I went to play some of the post-game multiplayer stuff and bounced off it, but didn't really think much about it, and was just looking forward to other characters coming out in the future. I came to this thread to see what the skinny was with new characters, and was like "OHHHH It's a car crash, I see!"

I really never would have known just how much of a mess it is, tbh.

when I downloaded the PS4 version of FF7R on my PS5 the saves were just there already, I didn't even have to do anything
