Not even anything introductory? Just...bam and that's it?

I could definitely see CD not doing any new characters after this.

Apparently all you get are audio logs and illustrated cut scenes. The devs say that they decided to focus more on the raid that's coming out the same day since more people will actually be able to see it.

Macys paid for this. Noodle Boy and Bonby are bad at video games and even worse friends.

Sort of. The combat in Guardians is significantly worse than even Avengers' button mashing.

Everything around it is good but wow are fights boring.

I didn't feel that at all. Peter's extremely mobile and fun to move around, calling in the team attacks are cool, you can adjust the settings to a large degree if you think it's too fast or slow.

Seriously, all games should at least have the level of control Guardians gives you to alter your experience.

At first, I could agree that the combat was eh. But by the end of the game when I was switching elements, managing my team skills and flying arou nd blasting poo poo, that's when combat really clicked for me. Plus I didn't dislike Avengers combat, just that the builds were all going for the same thing, because the way enemies engaged you made prioritizing the invulnerability of grabs and some of the supers was the only way to actually play.

What's on your mind, Axa?
I'm looking forward to Champions Online 2!

Was Champions Online any good? I always thought of it as the also-ran after City of Heroes/Villains but I never tried it when I was playing the free trials of various MMOs.

Edit: vv Wait, it's still around? I thought it died some time after City of Heroes. The gently caress.

Champions has a really in-depth character creator, which is a shame because the actual character faces look like melting wax figures (and is also MTX'd to hell.)

And then the actual gameplay is just button mashing while you're on ice skates. The character building is kind of interesting, but I'm pretty sure they removed the option to subscribe and unlock freeform building so now you have to pay $20 per freeform slot or use the prefabs.

e: also City of Heroes is a dead game run by an illuminati on private servers and it gets more frequent new content than Champions.

Champions had one thing that honestly carried it a long way for me, which was you could have basically any superhero name you wanted because your name on the server was <super name>@<account name>.info or whatever. I wish more MMOs did that.

City of Heroes is some kind of crazy sunk cost fallacy for people. It was unplayable in 2008, nevermind today.

City of Heroes was ahead of its time in its gameplay loops, and gets regular and good content updates on Homecoming these days. Just play City of Heroes if you're ever considering looking at Champions Online for any reason.

I think Last of Us got a rerelease on PS4 which they called remastered like a year after the original, maybe a little longer.

At least the new Peter model was something new for the game, and I think they also added ray tracing and stuff. The 360/PS3-XB1/PS4 'remasters' were basically 'slightly better framerate'.

PS5 Spider-Man isn't a standalone game either, it's DLC for the Miles Morales game.

Very torn about the Wonder Woman game announcement. Very cool that one's being made, but I feel like the one person who likes video games that HATES the Nemesis system and especially think it's a very weird choice here.
