Little kids who don't know any better, and maybe people who are desperate for Avengers related videogame content.

Luckily I am neither.
Aren't both of those playing Fortnite already? Which, if I understand it, is already doing Avengers Cosmetic stuff and is probably a better game then this is. Hell, the MTX in Fortnite are probably less obnoxious then the ones here.

I mean, when the "How to buy our stupid MTX/Lootbox shit" is more complex than the plot of Metal Gear, you know you've done something wrong.

Look I'm dubious as to how the game will go but the way I'm looking at it and thinking the plan might be is this is trying to be a sort of Marvel version of Warframe and if they pull it off and if the game actually is ok to start with then it could really do well.
But Warframe is F2P.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Fortnite. Heck, I don't know what kids are into - back in my day we played hide-n-seek, and burned ants with magnifying glasses we did.

And I assume Watch Dogs Legion was the only bad game coming out this fall season.

Jim thinks it's shit which is expected from him.
No big surprise indeed. This game is pretty much a kitchen sink of all things Jim dislikes in AAA gaming. Like Squeenix watched all his videos, made a list and then checked off everything.

Don't know why you're surprised. Assuming you are. We all saw it coming. Square enix can have it, cuz I don't want it. I'll just be playing ninja warriors once again. That and I'll wait for Crash 4.

I mean, he went off on the beta and had a Jimquisition a little while ago talking about all the shitty corporate problems in the game, so yeah, this was expected.

I'm reminded if I want to play dress up with superheros and have co-op, Saints Row 4 was a hell of a lot of fun.

I don't know what Square Enix are smoking because this game looks like utter crap. I'll be very surprised if it doesn't flop hard.

It's a marvel game. It wont flop, because kids will want it.

But yeah it DOES look a lot like Destiny and Anthem, the UI even looks the same, so I don't know what the dev team was thinking with this.

I only dipped my toes into Warframe for like an hour a few blue moons ago but I don't think it was ever as bad as The Avengers beta looks.

Oh back the first time some folks brought me onto it it was pretty damn awful. Take Warframe, give it stamina bars, make your powers actually cost mod slots, and you only got 1 revive a day for a frame. If you died you had to either buy another revive or wait a day (or use another frame)

I've been watching some game play here and there, and while I appreciate that the story is at least something sort of new, the voice acting and gameplay look blegh.

Why, WHY would anyone ever bother putting in brainless stealth sections for a character like Ms. Marvel?
