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

Massive mismanagement, and placing bets on systems they couldn’t do properly(Gaas, MTX, Luminous Engine).

In saying that, I’m truly shocked that the Tomb Raider trilogy ended up alright.

 

[Valt7786]

I will always be amazed at how they had the opportunity of a lifetime with the worlds biggest IP at the time and they completely fumbled the ball.
Single player Avengers campaign that focuses on not an Avenger, and the shittiest non-avenger at that.
Stupidest and terribly played out "plot twist". Cap America is dead but not really! No one could have possibly seen that coming!
Not to mention all the live service crap with awful MP maps/arenas and the constant clone characters.
No Scarlet Witch, no Dr Strange, not even Captain Marvel by the end of it.

Just...such a waste, could have been something special but..no.

Well they run one of the largest Gaas...
I think the fault lies in diversity, involving both Japan and the West resulted in the lack of clear vision on what their games want to be.

Blaming the west is too easy of a solution. Nintendo and Sega don’t have this problem.

The worst thing about this game is how it ruined the reputation of Marvel's Guardians of the galaxy. Amazing game that some people, still today, think is like avengers.

 

[hussar16]

Looks like the only loot heavy clone tht worked was destiny

 

[Hendrick's]

May go back and play the campaign at some point before it's totally dead.

 

[Robb]

Surprised to hear it’s still kicking tbh.

 

[Gambit2483]

Got it on PS5 for 30 bucks. Considering the majority of DLC was free I can't complain. War for Wakanda was a decent DLC campaign....but yeah, should never have been a live service.

I agree about the shitty selection of characters but if I recall correctly it was Marvel that chose which characters they could use. Marvel was in peak Woke mode and wanted Kamala pushed.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

What a sad life the game has: born in pain, lived in mockery and will die with nobody caring.

A pure fail and a total waste for an amazing IP with so much potential.

Don't know where you got this idea, if anything what I said is the opposite.

We've all heard how Sega decision making was a mess between the different HQs, this is nothing new.

 

[Stuart360]

Did they ever release Spiderman for the Playstation version?

 

[SeraphJan]

Some of the Campaign are pretty over the top cinematic experiences, which is a good thing.

The character controls pretty smoothly, each character do have distinguishable utility.

However the main problem of this game is enemy variety and level design, both are too repetitive, render the great character control useless

 

[LakeOf9]

Well, I will give them credit for ensuring it is playable after the service ended, I guess

 

[DeepEnigma]

Just goes to show you that an IP alone can't carry a game.

 

[Flutta]

Can’t wait for Suicide Squid to launch and crash on the same day

 

[RavageX]

Reminds me of the days when superhero and movie based games were definite crap, and you knew it before they released. The first near perfect superhero game I recall was Hulk Ultimate Destruction. Captured Hulk very well.

The ps1/dreamcast Spiderman, and one of the movie Spiderman games, Batman Returns on SNES, and that one Wolverine game gets special mentions.

 

[Rhazkul]

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

That's good news. Who owns Deus Ex now?

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

That's good news. Who owns Deus Ex now?

Embracer (they bought the Eidos studio too, not just the IP) Whether that's truly better I don't know, but can't be much worse than being stuck under Square Enix

I recall the Captain America game being fun.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

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

I feel like the hands-on previews and the reviews were a pretty good indicator this game was not turning out well. As soon as I saw the first gameplay reveal I went from very excited to basically “Pass”

 

[Trogdor1123]

Never played the game but this is a great way to do a send off. Totally open the market place and give the characters all buffs so that the less experienced players can do some of the end game material they would have been able to do.

 

[Captain Toad]

Suicide Squad is next. Maybe they'll shut down the servers for that the same week it finally launches.

 

[Heart_Attack]

People can't admit that Making Kamala Khan the main character in the campaign was a major part why this flopped.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I don't understand... It means that if I had bought the game at launch, and having to pay for the DLC. Now it's free... Does it mean that they theft us from the beginning???

 

[TVexperto]

at least each hero had unique abilities unlike that crappy new suicide squad game where everybody even the shark has only shooting abilities

 

[BbMajor7th]

Ah, the era of disposable culture...
