Because people can't be expected to stay for a game if its a buggy mess and its much hyped new content takes too long to come out.

There are other things to do than waiting for a game to get good.

I.e. what happened to Anthem.

Tbh I think the game needs a full relaunch with more content (and actual bosses that are marvel villains beyond Modok, Taskmaster and abomination) ala FF XIV releam reborn.

Too bad. An Avengers game made by Square Enix with actual care could have been great. Imagine the boss battles and characters if they went beyond the MCU roster.

So I'm not entirely sure what "beyond MCU" is supposed to mean anymore when guys like Shang Chi & Dane Whiteman are going to be in the MCU within the next 5 years. Also, no one really answered on how it's beneficial that this game stops getting support?

It’s not really beneficial, just the natural consequence of how it was released.

Yeah, there are few who haven't been in the MCU or are going are be at this point.

As someone who still has a hate-boner going for Marvel & maybe I should take some rejoice that this game failed to meet expectations, but it still sounds like there's a game worth saving & I rather have a good comic-book game than a bad one. Sounds like an easy way to win the crowd would be just severely downplaying the microtransactions.

Again .

Think about it.

Use maybe a dozen more marvel villains that aren't of super high standing that would be fun to fought against.

Moonstone, Bullseye, the hood, count nefaria, etc.

Like with say arkham. It gives the game some fun fights against varied opponents and replaybility in a way that random AIM robots just wouldn't.

That sounds like it can be easily patched in the future.

It’s the best game on their E3 lineup by default.

Yeah the Guardians of the Galaxy game looks legit fun. Like an extra snarky Mass Effect.

And it has Lady Hellbender! I knew Marvel was pulling more and more of their D-list characters into the spotlight but I still never expected to see her in anything mainstream.

It’s amusing that Star-Lord appears to be the sole playable character considering he’s prolly the most disliked of the Guardians.

Especially after Infinity War where he proved himself the biggest dumbass in the room.

Kinda wish they would have saved her for a Hulk game though.

It's funny, Hulk is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable superheroes & he always seems to get the short end of the stick when it comes to these video game adaptions.


[up][up] Does the BP suit look fat?

In that angle, he kinda does.

[up] Oh God just like with Avengers, the most boring line-up imaginable.

Until I can actually meet someone who knows Major Victory I'm not seeing these Guardians anymore offensive than the Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series. And I still saw some more obscure characters in the trailer.

Everyone just wants another The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Sort of like how Spider Man 2 was the gold standard for web swinging for forever.

[up][up] It’s more boring than offensive.

It’s just creatively sterile especially since Star-Lord’s design is the exact same throughout these incarnations.

Then again same creators of the Avengers game so that makes sense.

As much fun as Quasar or Adam Warlock would be I'm fairly certain the core Guardians of the Galaxy has been established for many years to come, and it's the one we're getting.

I'm not complaining myself. It's a good team.

I’m of the mind it has too many redundancies. Barring Groot they are all either gun and sword guys. Quill and Rocket while Gamora and Drax are sword/gun guys with the latter 2 being rather interchangeable ability-wise which was rather evident by their portrayal in Ultimate Alliance 3.

Plus they always just repeat the same jokes from the movies like Drax not understanding metaphors. They never do anything new with this team.

Hate to say this, but it seems for the developers, trying to one-up what James Gunn established in his movies might as well be like reinventing the wheel, kinda impossible to top?

I mean, if what you're saying is you want them to, I don't know, throw in elements from the GOTG run by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning like uniforms for Star-Lord and Rocket or having Quasar and Adam Warlock in the roster, then you (and by proxy, we) might be out of luck? Normies might see it and be all "Hey, how come Star-Lord doesn't have his bitchin' red jacket? Where's this blue uniform BS come from?" (Mind you, this is me trying to analyze this through the dev team's train of thought.)

I want to like the game and what it's trying to accomplish, but combing a lot of the details we got so far is kinda bumming me out.

(Side note: anyone notice how Star-Lord's jacket has a button with a Space Invader on it? Cool detail because this is coming from SE and they own Space Invaders.)

Is it just me or do Gamora and Drax look a little Off-Model? He looks like he has a weird high collar thing and she has a weirdly pared own version of the Bendis/Pichelli suit.

The only design bit that bothers me is Rocket's braided beard just because he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that would do that sort of thing.
