Reading those Steam reviews is kind of hilarious. Alot of people comparing this to Star Was: Galaxies New Game Experience. I have to wonder if any of them actually went through that, because these changes to Marvel Heroes have mostly been for the better. The NGE was just... Jesus...

Lots of salt in them reviews and little to no substance. The official forums are the same. Mostly just "IT'S DIFFEREEEEENNNNT".

This was a much needed pruning and refining of a lovely and needlessly complicated set of systems and leaves the game in a much better place to iterate on in the future. As for dashes and teleports, well the problems with those and rapid transit breaking the game engine for a fair number of people was going to go down in two ways. What we have or using a different game engine. Guess which one was more feasible. I can't wait for this years to maybe turn alot of these Team-Up characters into full ones. Looking at you, Kamala.

Run the graphics at high. No I am not joking. Turn off ambient occlusion, depth of field and motion blur (and anti aliasing if you can take it). Make sure you're drivers are up to date. What's your OS? Running it with DX10 or 11 improves performance immensely.

Just so you know, I'm running this game on like, a Radeon HD 6450 with not that many problems.

Real talk though...is this what loving Beast looks like? I feel like I'm seeing the 3rd visual in an evolution diagram.


Yup, that's actually his most recent Comic look, dubbed Gorrila-Beast. Cat -Beast was his last look and was originally going to be his default costume, but they took so long they swapped it over.

That said, Cat-Beast looks great. I like how short and stocky he is.

Hawkeye and Wolverine got a 2 though.

I play Ant-Man, Squirrel Girl, Juggernaut and Venom most. All melee, all 5s. Psyloke, Rocket, Rogue and Black Cat also get a 5. Iron Fist is also up here because Dragon stance DBZ Chi blasts everywhere still works (and is actually even better now) and is fun.

Elektra movement, purple lasers Magneto, Gambit and Iron-Man hybrid all get a 4. Loki, Taskmaster, Punisher, Ultron and Moon Knight also sit here.

Luke Cage is at a 2 because his pet spec is fundamentally broken, powers-wise (his other specs are fine though). Wolverine and Hawkeye are down here because their poo poo just isn't that fun to play right now.

A couple dudes got costume changes. Make sure the default costume you are blending isn't different from their base look.

Captain Marvel in particular. If you had her when she was Ms. Marvel, you'll have a copy of her Ms. Marvel costume, as well as her new base, maskless Captain look.

Ask Lozareth. This was his data and I don't even have her yet. I just like R.

Also I was wrong about what hitting Tesla Coil will do to Mr. F, so they really are bringing down the high end closer to the middle. The bottom end is still a shitshow though.

Also is Thor ranged or melee? I played him as melee and wasn't liking it.

Either/Or, or both. He works well in any combo. Pure ranged is perfectly viable, but not I haven't taken him to cosmic levels. He's generally not my cup of tea.

So apparently Black(agar) Bolt(agon) has no voice lines apart from his Signature and Ultimate. This is offset by Medusa having more lines than any other team-up, mostly because, like in the comic, she'll speak in stead of her husband.

Having experienced terrigenesis before he was born, Blackagar Boltagon was granted frighteningly destructive powers. With a voice strong enough to destroy whole worlds, his parents would isolate and teach him to control his abilities. Finding silent companionship in one of his few visitors, Medusalith Amaquelin, the two’s romance would blossom into marriage.

FWIW I personally think a lot of the changes were smart and make it easy to overlook whatever was lost. I am much more fixated on whether or not the other shoe will drop, and how they will get back to actually adding new content again after they have wrapped up the major systems reworks.

Yup, pretty much. Most of the reviews are the usual reactionary stuff to a major systems change, but the reviews are lying out their asses when they make comparisons to Star Wars Galaxies infamous New Game Experience.

The changes cleaned up alot of overly obtuse systems and streamlined alot of stuff like the Omega to Infinity system. Even the movement changes were a smart idea given engine performance and game balance. Yes, I liked to zoom around everywhere with teleport, but I can at least admit that it was broken as gently caress and toxic to balance.

I'm seriously never going to understand why they decided BB's beam attacks should come from his hands instead of the antenna he wears explicitly to direct energy attacks. His ranged kit has bigger issues than stupid animations (weaker than melee despite needing significantly more resources to work at all) but it's just such a baffling starting point.

It's because Marvel informed them that the Antenna is a receiver and only tangentially used as an emitter, which gave them artistic license to go hog wild with how the powers look.
