Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

It's worth remembering that even with the end of support for Marvel's Avengers, the game's servers will remain active, but it's a matter of time before they are deactivated.

I wish I could get my money back for this disaster.

as you continue to enjoy Marvel's Avengers in the future!

They pulled this from PS Plus Extra before releasing this "the content in our 60 dollar retail title is 'free' now" update, even though I think they're only keeping the servers open until September or so. What a stupid garbage decision.

 

[Kacho]

Another GAAS that couldn’t cut the mustard, brother. Sad!

 

[Umbasaborne]

I played at leat 100 hours across ps4 and 5, it was a fun time waster and the main campaign was decent. It had no business being a live service

 

[hybrid_birth]

And nothing of value was lost.

 

[Fbh]

Wanted to download the game from ps+ extra to check out the single player.

Then I saw its like 120gb and nah...fuck that.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

It's cool of them to give everything away for free. A lot of really cool outfits.

Suicide Squad next up!

Man...I actually really enjoyed the campaign when the game came out. The combat was very well done too and the heroes were awesome. Sadly, the game's structure and loot system was kind of what fucked it over. At least they tried saving it, but it just goes to show - you can't really release half-baked GaaS titles unless they went through some enormous testing for their end-game systems.

For those who'd want to play it solo, it's nice that they did this at least, and that you'd probably have access to them going forward. It's not ideal for any game to turn out this way, but at least they're handling the shut down better than most games, and the fact that it has an offline mode at all brings it up a few points.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Spider-Man content couldn’t save this gem?

 

[Rhazkul]

What's up with Square Enix and all the flops? Forspoken, Deux Ex (basically abandoned), Avengers..,i doubt this is sustainable...

 

[ElRenoRaven]

This game was just so sad. As mentioned campaign was ok. Gameplay was ok. However it should have never had the whole GAAS shit. Should have just been released as a single player maybe co-op game without all the gear shit to grind and it would probably have done better.

That's the way all companies should end a GAAS game, imo. Kudos to them.

Viva GAAS

 

[Rush2112]

Square is the Ubisoft of Japan.

 

[The Shepard]

So will this stop working all together eventually or will the offline part always work?

 

[Esppiral]

I am playing the campaign right now and it is amazing, I will check those free cosmetics.

Yeah, the combat was nice and the hero felt different enough, too bad for literally everything else.

 

[March Climber]

I hope that the combat director bounces back to a new project.

 

[SkylineRKR]

So you can finally play with powerful superheroes?

 

[GymWolf]

I hope that the combat director bounces back to a new project.

I think he was the gow2018 dude.

 

[RoboFu]

The game was released 3 years ago. You guys act as if it was 3 months ago. 3 years is a long time for this type of game.

It was a fun play through, not as horrible as you would think but yeah the multiplayer missions definitely felt tacked on.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Even getting the game on PS Plus for free will feel a bit too expensive.

 

[kunonabi]

Did the game ever end up with more than 3 villains?

 

[Certinty]

I still can't believe how badly they fucked up an Avengers game given at the time it was probably the biggest franchise in the world. The even sadder part is the characters play well, it's just everything else, the less said the better...

 

[wolffy71]

Truly shit game

 

[It's all in the wrist]

Cool. Where can I play it for "free" with all of the content.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Square is the Ubisoft of Japan.

Couldn’t be more accurate.

 

[Fake]

So long you piece of shit.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Everything’s free? Going to have to update and start playing again before they turn the lights off.

Gotta love always online single player bullshit.

 

[March Climber]

So you can finally play with powerful superheroes?

This depends on what you mean. This lessens the grind for gear scores so that the end game raids are a bit more accessible. The rest of the game was accessible already.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Spider-Man content couldn’t save this gem?

It may have helped if they actually built a campaign around him. Instead they made it PS exclusive, put no effort into it and it was bare bones.

This game doesn't have an online requirement.

 

[Saber]

This for all you idiots who keep saying this is the future.

Clowns.

 

[MirageMew2]

I’m two trophies off the Platinum so I’ll definitely get back into it for the sunset period.

 

[SmokedMeat]

This game doesn't have an online requirement.

I thought it was always online?

You telling me I can collect every unlockable for free and play single player offline? That’d be sweet!

yes

 

[U n i o n 0015]

I thought this game was hot trash. The campaign story was the most interesting thing about, but most of the missions featured dull beat 'em up gameplay. Plus:

Why is Iron Man flying at what feels like 5 mph?
Why do there need to be 15 different types of in-game currencies?
Why do I have to micromanage my inventory so much?
How is it possible that these large levels are completely uninteresting?

The game is better now if only for the fact that you can treat it as a Marvel 3D costume viewer.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Yet another example that I can point towards when someone asks me why I will never ever buy a full-priced live service game again.

This fucking crap should either be free to play since day 1, or it shouldn't rely on central servers to be able to run, so that when developers inevitably abandon it, then you can at least continue to play it at your own leisure.

I can't believe I bought this on release. One of the biggest wastes of money ever.

 

[sinnergy]

That’s what you get for not making it a SP story driven experience

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

What's up with Square Enix and all the flops? Forspoken, Deux Ex (basically abandoned), Avengers..,i doubt this is sustainable...

Well luckily they sold off Deus Ex, so there's at least a marginally better chance we get another good Deus Ex game than if Square continued to own them

Depends... what all those flops share in common?

We have a patern here.
