The fact 4 player co-op is an entirely separate mode is even more of a bummer.

Been playing Gotham Knights co-op myself and tbh the VAs do a great job and the story is kind of enjoyable so far. The actual character writing feels solidly done so far too, and it's been cool learning about Jason Todd as I'm less familiar with him as a whole.


The Lazarus Pit magic powers are kinda silly though.

edit: the mook and civilian conversation writing has also been pretty great, we've both gotten a laugh out of it a number of times now.

Red Hood being needlessly aggro in every single scene is really great. His personality is just "angry".

I mean if I loving died to Joker crowbarring my head in and got brought back to life by jank pool magic I too would be really loving angry at almost everything.

The thing I appreciate most is that despite his anger and lashing out the others clearly care and try to help him through it, and Todd also recognizes that they care and thanks them for it. And it doesn't feel phoned in!

Red Hood is basically self aware enough that the 'big angry buff dude' personality isn't off putting or uninteresting like it can be in a lot of games.

E: also the fact his canonical power is just "gun" is incredibly funny to me. Red Hood just going around shooting mfers with "non-lethal" bullets. Batman and his sidekicks don't kill people, we swear you guys

I was worried about micromanaging every battle to keep people alive because you don't gain xp when you're dead but I was told both that the catch-up xp makes that a non-issue and that you can always enter your mind palace for more xp

Everything that was ever in the game's marketplace is going to be gifted to players for free.

So really the only real losers here are...anyone who ever spent money in the in-game store to support the game. No refunds if you already bought a cosmetic or more.

It's okay. Even on normal the game packs a punch. Unless you abuse turtle strats and a certain character which makes things much easier.

The FAQ in the Tweet says the game will still work in single and multi-player for now so if you buy a used copy then yeah I guess. But it has to be a physical copy if it's later on in the year cuz the game is being outright de-listed in September on digital stores.

So you just go in to the store, buy the game, and then you have the whole game you can play as much as you like forever? And if you decide you’re done you can sell the game and someone else can buy it and play as much as they like?

I like this new scheme, I might actually buy The Avengers.

Wait actually this is gonna hurt someone else even more. That Suicide Squad game if it actually is a Live Service poo poo. This'll tell what I assume is an already small audience of people who would have been willing to support that game with cosmetic purchases to hold off cuz in a few years hopefully WB will write off the title and all the in-store stuff there could be free as well.

They’re delisting it from future sales, not deleting it from libraries.

imo the main Reassemble campaign in Avengers is worth playing for the story and the half or so of it that actually feels like a proper single-player game. The other half of the time, it feels like a glorified tutorial for the multiplayer GaaS side of the game, which is much less enjoyable.

lmao, well at least the servers are not going offline so there is that, but I bet they will shut down later this year, which will make the game completely unplayable.
