Somehow the Avengers game just keeps getting worse

Why, WHY would anyone ever bother putting in brainless stealth sections for a character like Ms. Marvel?
Can the AAA industry fuck off with "stealth" segments in games that don't need them? Especially the insta-fail ones if you're even spotted. Spider-Man (PS4), Ghost of Tsushima (though its system is really lenient), and countless others I can't think of at the moment. None of the Avengers characters others than Captain America or Black Widow (who I'm assuming does not even have stealth section) scream stealth. Iron Man, maybe.


This is from last week. Max actually was playing the full version last night. He seemed to be enjoying it, but I could not stick around, because find Avengers so boring to look at.

Hulk, man. He's the quintessential stealth character. Just imagine the following scenario:

Hulk huddled in a patch of grass, hiding behind a small bush that he tore out of the ground and is now holding in front of his face. And it works because every mook passing by obviously spots him, but chooses to ignore it because it's the friggin Hulk and they enjoy having unbroken spines. Then comes the infiltrating the enemy secret base part, so Hulk smashes through a wall, finding the mook cafeteria on the other side. All the mooks turn to face Hulk. Hulk remembers he's supposed to be stealthy and raises the bush in front of his face again. The mooks see this and collectively decide that nothing unusual is happening. Meanwhile Hulk slowly sidles towards the nearest exit, still holding that bush.

Jokes aside, I would applaud it if they actually did this.

You accidentally quoted CriticalGaming. I am the one who said:

It's all good.

Hey, if Metal Gear can do the Cardboard Box with a straight face, I don't see why they couldn't have the Hulk "Stealthing" with a Bush.

If they did it, it would probably be the only semi-original idea in the whole damn game.
