Just got done with the campaign. It's a great story with good performances for the most part. Kamala was my favourite thing about the game.

This could've been a great game if it was just a linear single player campaign with a more fleshed out combat system. The combat design is bad, missions are repetitive, and the boss fights aren't impressive aside from Modok.

And there's a shitstorm of bugs. Not to mention it runs like shit on my base PS4.

Another thing worth mentioning are the cosmetics, going end-to-end on the campaign you unlock 3 costumes per character (2 for BW). Rest are either level-gated, need to be bought with credits earned from level-gated missions, from the market place, or the battle pass that will take you at least 21 days to complete, and even from the pass you only earn one classic suit, rest are recolours.

I’ve only played the multiplayer mode but I’m going to get into the campaign soon. I knew Cap would still be alive. His fighting style is super impressive. That athleticism is crazy

When I'm gonna play this game it's going to be for the campaign, and it seems I do have things to look forward to

I'm both baffled by this game and absolutely in love with this game

It is one of buggiest, least creatively conceived and least logically designed games I've ever played. There are so many things strangely and inconsistently baked into this game that only become weirder when you consider how long they've had to develop it. Add onto that, the fact that so much of it ISN'T fixed by the large Day 1 patch you have to download, and I really wonder how long it's going to take them to fix even the smaller, more obvious issues

And at the EXACT same time this is one of the most fun, exhilarating and intuitive games I've ever played. Gameplay is both super simple and super punishing, so like an old arcade beat em up you have to really dig into the mechanics and stay in constant motion, which makes it even better when you start to level up and gain new moves. It really makes you feel both the awesomeness and the urgency of being an Avenger both individually and as a part of a team. They really made a game where 6 players control completely differently and they all feel like valuable parts of a whole.

I'm a good 20% through the campaign and I'm stunned by how great the story is. It never crossed my mind that the game would *feel* this good to play an Avengers game, they just......need to clean up all the obvious shit around it. I know that's standard for these live service games but Crystal Dynamics should know better on some of this stuff. The loot stuff doesn't bother me in the least either, it's really down to the bugs, mission/level Variety, and an overall tightening of the edges

@OmegaDaGrodd -

I'm really enjoying the game. Beat the campaign already which is a very well told story.

I feel this potential series will improve greatly if there is a second game in the future. I'm not sure how much updates and DLC can improve on the current game aside from bringing in new characters. I don't think level designs will change much in DLC.

Game crashed on me twice while trying to do the Captain America chain to get another outfit. Once while I finished the stage which would have got me a new outfit but it wasn't registered.

But overall a good game for me.

@TheBlueMorpho - how long did it take you to beat it? Like in hours
MyCoolYoung
MyCoolYoung - 9/7/2020, 10:58 AM
@TheBlueMorpho - if possible
jj2112
jj2112 - 9/7/2020, 11:06 AM
@MyCoolYoung - They say it's about 12 hours long.
MyCoolYoung
MyCoolYoung - 9/7/2020, 11:09 AM
@jj2112 - that’s not too bad. It’ll take me a minute to beat it though

@TheBlueMorpho -

I feel like there are definitely elements that aren't going to change until a sequel (combat system, skills, base campaign, etc) but I think the current game can be vastly improved by having small improvements like an AI command system to direct your AI teammates (they're working on this) and eliminating the major bugs/glitches in the current game, which can be done with patches

Level/villain variety is already coming in some respects via the DLC DLC character mission chains, and that'll be more than enough to keep me going

I think overall though if they're able to make a sequel, there are a lot of things I'd like them to refine right of the gate, but most importantly it will be nice to see what they do with a campaign that isn't built around reassembling the team since that will let them jump right into things
OmegaDaGrodd
OmegaDaGrodd - 9/7/2020, 11:20 AM
@jj2112 - I don't know where that timeline is coming from. I think that's based on skipping all the side missions available along the way, which I think cuts off a lot of the experience
jj2112
jj2112 - 9/7/2020, 12:13 PM
@OmegaDaGrodd - It's coming from the developer itself. Apparently if you do absolutely everything it takes about 30 hours.
TheBlueMorpho
TheBlueMorpho - 9/7/2020, 2:00 PM
@MyCoolYoung -

Over 10 maybe. That's if you don't do the little side missions.
TheBlueMorpho
TheBlueMorpho - 9/7/2020, 2:09 PM
@OmegaDaGrodd -

Cool about an AI command system. Cause when you have an A,B and C objective it would be nice to point the AI if you don't have live teammates to where you want them.

Looking forward to play as Hawkeye (Clint).
MyCoolYoung
MyCoolYoung - 9/7/2020, 2:59 PM
@OmegaDaGrodd - what’s in the side missions that’s integral to the story/experience?
ThorArms
ThorArms - 9/7/2020, 9:47 AM
Was looking forward to this game but waiting on reviews after I wasn't impressed with the beta. Reviews haven't been great, gonna wait until it's like $40
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 9/7/2020, 11:16 AM
@ThorArms - I can tell you right now it's not worth the full $60. The campaign is fantastic but could have been so much greater had they made this game a focused single player experience. The campaign is only 8-10 hours long and the multiplayer missions are so short and poorly crafted that it's not worth waiting all the time it takes to load in.

I can only hope that down the line they make more story based expansions akin to the campaign involving the new characters. But yea definitely wait for a significant price drop.

Reviews are pretty mixed. Guess I'll just wait until Miles Morales at this point... whenever I eventually get a PS5, lol

Graphics issues, game breaking bugs and crashes often. Entire game seems to be trying to convince you to spend more, so many unlockables primarily designed to leech money from you. It's disgusting honestly
MyCoolYoung
MyCoolYoung - 9/7/2020, 10:59 AM
@Scarilian - have you seen 2k? At least In this game you can actually play without all the upgrades. In 2k your player is a 60 who can’t do anything an nba player could do all to make you spend 50 dollars on vc

Is Peggy Carter Captain Britain in the game? Why not make that canon in the comics, and continue her and Captain America's love story in the present day? That'd be awesome!
Darth258
Darth258 - 9/7/2020, 12:02 PM
@99OPTIMISTPRIME - That would mean Peggy got frozen too? I just remember a picture of her in the game. An old one from the war.

Now a Fantastic Four video game with herbie. Also Latveria, the underworld of Mole Man and space. Also Mole Man's monsters, Doombots and the Skrulls.
OmegaDaGrodd
OmegaDaGrodd - 9/7/2020, 11:21 AM
@Repian - I really feel like this game cracked a certain code that superhero team games have been struggling with. If you did an F4 game in this system it would be perfect
Darth258
Darth258 - 9/7/2020, 11:48 AM
@OmegaDaGrodd - I remember a F4 game that wasn't bad with co-op on ps2. I think it was the tie-in to the first movie.

I’ve been loving the hell out of it.

Just finished the campaign, loved it, and getting into multiplayer. Didn't get any gamebreaking glitches or performance issues (so far) on PS4.
To everyone that doesn't have the game already i'd suggest to wait for a big patch or added content.

My gripes with the game:
- Not being able to access some rooms with boxes and resources if you play solo with AI companions (they need to give atleast a command button or the ability to switch characters)
- Not enaugh supervillains (3 weren't many)
- Rooms that seem a copy/paste. Need more variety, same for the robots.

Suggestions:
- Since difficulty doesn't change the rewards in the end i suggest the lower one to grind faster through the daily/weekly missions for the challenge cards, that way one can basically progress all 6 in little time every day.
Same goes for the daily faction missions.
Darth258
Darth258 - 9/7/2020, 11:47 AM
Hopefully we will get more variety once they fix the current problems and start adding content, after all it's been out for a week.

Unsure about buying this game, i find that playing kamala would be boring as her powers don't interest me at all. Out of anyone to bring to a game they chose mr. fantastics twin? No thanks. Stretchy abilities are def on the bottom of my favorite power list. Bring more fun characters into the game like captain marvel :D

Also some of the outfits are ugly af and i can't seem to get over them not looking anything like their movie counterpart. I know its different from the movies but i'm so used to the actors that it feels weird seeing totally different 'people'
Darth258
Darth258 - 9/7/2020, 12:05 PM
@Beartastic25 - Maybe reading some comics will wash that feeling away.
TheBlueMorpho
TheBlueMorpho - 9/7/2020, 2:06 PM
@Beartastic25 -

One thing I didn't like was being forced to play as a character I didn't to want at first. But playing as Kamala is ok and fun. I just want to play as Cap for the most part. But Thor and Black Widow play the best outside of Cap for me.

I’m waiting on this one until more content/lower price. The concept is interesting, but it sounds like it needs a lot of work still.
