Codependent Poster posted:They did this kind of thing with X-Men Destiny and that sucked. I mean, let's be honest, that is just one of many, many reasons why Destiny sucked. X-Men Legends kind of did the same thing only in that case it was basically turning Magma into a nigh-unrecognizable WASP-y OC as the viewpoint character (also you could actually play as the X-Men).

Magma is at least WASHP-y (The HP stands for Hellenic Pagan) Edit: I guess she's also very much not an Anglo Saxon, but WGHP isn't as catchy. Or was she Roman? WRP? Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Aug 9, 2021 |

Look I think there is a compromise here we can reach that will make everyone happy. You should be allowed play as the big Marvel Universe heroes AND there will be perma-death if things go wrong in a mission. But after any mission where you lose a character, they play a little cutscene showing that the hero wasn't actually disintegrated, but sent forward in time. Or trapped in an alternate universe. Or replaced with a Skrull before the mission. Or being brought back to life on Krakoa. And at the very end of the game, every character who died is revealed to be still alive. Perfect comic book experience.

You could also do scenarios where at the start of a mission you're controlling one of the Marvel heavy hitters against overwhelming odds of enemies; basically set up to lose. However, the more enemies you take out with Iron Man/Hulk/etc before being "killed" (captured/knocked out), the fewer enemies you'll need to tackle with your squad of expendables to rescue the name-brand hero. Something like that. Or the opposite situation - your expendables work a mission taking out fodder (skrulls, brood, AIM, etc), before you take control of a heavy hitter for a boss battle against Super Skrull/Brood Queen/MODOK. It's an eminently solvable situation.

The Question IRL posted:Look I think there is a compromise here we can reach that will make everyone happy. Hell, forget the end of the game, have them show up as brainwashed cyborg versions a few missions down the road as an enemy you can rescue back. Even more comic book appropriate and I’m amused at the idea of game strategies including “kill this character off to get a better version ASAP” (think some LOTR games have done that with Gandalf before, but that’s the only other example I can think of off the top of my head).

(The year 2026. The place, Dark YouTube. Since this is the dark future.) "What's up, it's ya boi FreedomLover69, back with another stream. This time I'm going to be playing Marvel Com: Terror From the Deep. So the strategy we are going to adopt is we are going to get Captain America killed in the first mission. This seems crazy because Cap is so good, but by doing this we get Sam Wilson Captain America as a replacement. And midway through the game we get a chance to recruit Deathlok Captain America and he is seriously OP. But first I'd just like you all to hit Like and Subscribe and hit the Bell Icon to be notified of all my future streams. And lastly, if you are living in a State that has not adopted Purge Laws, I'd please ask you to contact your elected representatives and tell them to vote to impeach President Mecha-Trump."

This is a no-win situation because there are in fact people who want to create their own characters to play in an existing universe. There is a reason why that kind of stuff is popular. There is a reason so many licensed games have a create-a-character feature and why they are so popular. There were even complaints about the fact that Marvel's Avengers didn't let you make your own character. For every person who only wants to play as the specific defined characters there is another who thinks it is fuckin' rad they got to make their own Goku but he has green hair and an eyepatch. Likewise people remember X-Men Destiny for sucking because it sucked but prior to it coming out people were hype about the idea of a genuine "make my own X-Man and hang out with the other X-Men" game. It isn't a success every time but there's a reason every fuckin' license on the planet eventually does a create your own protagonist thing and that is because there is usually a high demand for it.

ngl if you are dying for a create a character tactics game but also want a "normal" xcom game where your soldiers are subject to instant, unforeseen deaths, and not a chimera squad xcom game where you have to keep them alive, you don't actually know what you want and should thus be ignored imo

It makes them feel a lot more meaningful. Like you have a ~6 person squad and ideally they stay with you as long as possible, you're drat right I am customizing them as best I can. Like you do know that there are boatloads of mods and even official DLC that offer more customization options, right? It's pretty lovely of you to claim that people don't know what they want just because it's not how you play the game. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Aug 13, 2021 |

i mean, you have a set of classes to choose from, each with a set of skills, that you generally take specific ones to min/max, and 3 sets of weapons that you power level to hit the endgame stuff as fast as you can. and then when your guy dies you replace him with another guy with maybe the exact same build, or maybe slightly different. or maybe you decide to swap them out for one of a different class. like, not exactly a lot of customization going on

This discussion is literally not gonna go anywhere. I'm kind of on site's side that I don't give a poo poo if the game wants me to play dress up and let me write a 400 word fanfic but there's no actual impact to the narrative or actual meaningful interaction with those choices, but I know lots of people also love those type of things and I don't think either side's gonna persuade the other.

I'm guessing they just had him write an outline, because there's no way he'd have missed that Pixie doesn't actually have teleportation as her mutant power (which the bad guys steal later) when she learnt it as magic (from Magik). She even does incantations when you see her open portals for the first time, how did they gently caress up their own internal continuity so bad? I mean, it was basically a wacky scheme to get people to fund their other games, so I don't know what I was expecting.

It should be pointed out we're getting mad about a game that hasn't even been officially announced yet, given their record it's a likely a turn based tactical game, but maybe its an RTS or a cover based third person shooter or an open world RPG

Soonmot posted:i only just now realized that GotG game is still square enix. I am no longer anticipating that game The majority of The Avenger's problems came from being forced into a Games As Service model and having to design around that. GotG is explicitly a single player only game. So if nothing else they at least are not going to repeat the same mistakes. And honestly if The Avengers had just been the story missions without the grindy stuff it would have probably been seen a lot better. Even beyond that it's a different team from the Avengers game. The team working on GotG did the recent Deus Ex games and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be good but there's no clear reason why it wouldn't at least be a fun time, if not anything groundbreaking.

Yeah the single player story side of Avengers was good, if they'd not bothered with the GaaS stuff and put more into that it would have been a really great game. Hopefully they learned their lesson

Avengers is frequently on sale now, $20 is decent to play just the story stuff. Plus the Hawkeye and Panther DLCs are free so you'd get the story parts of those too.

"We want this game to have a mystically tinged hero for the protagonist, who has a connection to the villainous demonic character last boss" "You mean like Magik?" "Sure, put her in there too" My hype has been suitably deflated, although I suppose it might still be good. The mixture of bad trailer music covers and everyone walking out looking like they're wearing custom costume parts from a Netherrealm game just doesn't scream "Everything you love about Marvel and Firaxis, combined" Nice to see Nico getting some airtime, though, even if her new hair is bad

It feels like they had an existing game developed and then a studio exec parachuted in with some bizarre notes at the last minute. Game Developer: "Okay, this is a game about dark superheroes fighting a mystical menace. We've got Dr. Strange, Magik, Blade, Ghost Rider, Wolverine, Nico Minoru, and, of course the famous Totally OC Do Not Steal." Executive: "I recognize literally two of those names. Better stick some Avengers in there for the kiddies. Like Iron Man; he fights vampires, right?"
