Forums - Gaming - Jim Sterling about Marvels Avengers

So I know next to nothing about this game, but I was excited to play something that felt like the Arkham games set in the Marvel universe with Avengers. If I love the Arkham games, would I enjoy this or is it not similar gameplay wise?

Bro, you know gameplay videos exist, right?

But no, this is not remotely similar to the Arkham games.

It's weird I think the game is trash nothing like what I'm looking for but channels I follow like Kinda Funny can't stop talking about it....
Am I missing something?

It has an Avengers license, so it will be noticed and talked about.

I've seen some TV ads but not one of the gaming channels I'm following is talking about it, other than Digital Foundry which did some performance tests during beta phase and after release.

Your best bet is probably Spider-Man PS4.  That's supposed to borrow a lot from the Arkham games with its combat and open world but adapted to Spider-Man and it's one of the highest-rated PS4 games.

What is The YouTube? Is it where I message my Myspace buddies, or instant message my AIM friends with emojis, or where I purchase deactivated mines from early WW2 Sicily?



Dropped below 70 now.
At this point I'm probably not going to play it unless it drops into Game Pass (which is very likely).

Btw. I did a little comparison on TrueAchievements (biggest Xbox fanbase) with this game and THPS1+2 which both released on the same day.
Avengers has 16.8k owners, THPS has 19.4k owners.
Remakes of 20-year-old games of a pretty much dead franchise did better than a big budget title of one of the biggest franchises in media.

Same. I think this will eventually go to Gamepass. Their purpose is to hopefully get people engaged so they'll spend on microtransaction. So, they'll be more than willing to forego the 20 dollar price this thing will have in six months to try and get people into the ecosystem. And at that point I'll probably check out the campaign, which by most accounts is decent. 



Xbone version is a 59, yikes.



So, you need a SquareEnix account to play online. Because of course you do. Here are the perks that registering for an account confers on the player:

- Artificial barrier to online play removed.
- Allow the ghouls at SquareEnix to collect your personal data so they can sell it to their cockroach friends.

What a compelling deal.

I wasn't going to be buying it, but now I will never play it, even if it ends up on PS+.
