Marvel's Avengers Trailer Finally Shows Us What the Game Is About with Loot and Gearscores

So Destiny/Division in a Marvel skin, I can get down with that!!

Meh.

No thanks, but I really hope others enjoy it!

@redd214 Yeah it's gonna be pick a mission from the map, beat up a bunch of enemies, blow up an evil machine, get your loot, spend your skill points, repeat.

If you're well into grindy games like Destiny then it's probably going to be right up your street, but I personally think it's all a bit uninspired, especially after Spider-Man on PS4.

I don't know, I kind of feel like the bubble's burst for these loot-chasing games. The Divison 2 fell of a cliff, people seem hate the loot system in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint...

I can see Avengers being a fun game but I can't help but look at this trailer and sigh. It doesn't help that at E3, Square Enix tried to sell everyone the game as though it was a cinematic, story-driven superhero title, when really, it's going to be a very mission-based co-op looter shooter without the guns.

Probably in a minority but this does look like something I'd like. As long as the game play loop is good and inevitable micro transactions aren't too offensive, would enjoy a loot based Avengers game.

@ShogunRok that's cool man if you're burnt out on games like this. I personally enjoy them especially playing with my minions. Plus we all love Marvel so seems to be a good fit.

Menus: The Game

Those menus look really bad man

That Ms. Marvel turning into a giant gameplay looked like it could be fun, though.

@ShogunRok My thoughts exactly, and much better than I would articulate them. I am not a fan of grindy loot games, and I am disappointed that this is not the story driven game that I thought it might be from the early info.

But, I am sure fans of the genre will find a lot to like with a Marvel setting, and I am happy for them.

Kamala looks good as a character, but her power looks so lame, like its straight out of Looney Tunes. This is not the only reason, but im gonna skip this game for sure.

@redd214 Don't get me wrong, I hope it's a really good game, just wanted to get my opinion across! I'm sure Marvel fans are still going to find a lot to like.

@ShogunRok no worries man I understand, thankfully there's plenty to play for all of us!

@ShogunRok "It doesn't help that at E3, Square Enix tried to sell everyone the game as though it was a cinematic, story-driven superhero title, when really, it's going to be a very mission-based co-op looter shooter without the guns."

I'm kinda disappointed by this as well. Gameplay can get really repetitive and boring quick if the mission designs are dull. Hopefully, that isn't the case.

I give this game a hard time, but I know I'm still going to play it.
Several months after launch niw that The Last of Us 2 comes out in May.

Honestly I've been adoring Destiny 2 for free on PC so this could scratch both that itch and my love of all things Marvel. Hopefully they delve fully into the comics for the skins and such rather than going off a weird cold imitation of the MCU.

@ShogunRok "I'm sure Marvel fans are still going to find a lot to like."

Well this Marvel fan just decided to stop waiting on this and get MA3 instead. Well once the X-Men and FF DLC release. I'm used to waiting.

Just realized this is a Squenix game. Guess I knew it but never thought about it. I know Crystal Dynamics is it's own thing but I'm expecting a delay after all the blowback they'll get on these screens. And releasing 2 weeks before TLoU2 it's going to be lost in all the media hype anyway.

Maybe by PS5 they'll have this up and running smoothly.

I've played Destiny and the first Division game, and while they weren't bad games I grew bored of the repetitive missions and combat. I'm disappointed this isn't gonna be like Spiderman, but I have to remember this is Square Enix not Sony. All their obviously worried about are microtransactions and how much money they can make. Not trying to sound all negative bc I'll probably give this a shot, but soon as I get the platinum and The Last of Us 2 comes out I'll dump this by the waste side.

Ah a loot game. And with that, my interest has plummeted to zero. Thanks Crystal dynamics for giving me one less game to buy next year. Attrocious decision imo and a waste of the licence

I'll wait for Spiderman 2 and whatever the new Batman game is, I've no interest in Marvel Destiny game and those enemies looked so uninteresting

@Rob_230 Now we know why Crystal Dynamics have been so cagey when talking about exactly what kinda game this is, and they've dropped the reveal trailer the same day as Death Stranding, amidst a truckload of major new releases, in the hopes of burying the bad news for some.

This isn't a game for gamers. This is a piece of merchandise designed to appeal to kids and the parents of said kids who've no idea what they're letting themselves (and their wallets) in for.

@redd214 For me Marvel is ok i dont like Destiny so its going too be below average for me. The best thing about this was Miss Marvel for me. You know why because its something else. Cant wait too see the liveservice/lootbased/cooky cutter missionbased bubble too burst. And getting back games that dont resemble a day at work.

But thats my personal opinion.

@Flaming_Kaiser cool bud, plenty of non live service games out there that I'm sure you'd like more. Something for us all

@redd214 I would love too see something like Destiny with a great storymode drop in optional coop and optional online with great bosses.

Wow, I was somewhat joking when I said it looked like Marvel Destiny. I didn't think it was literally going to be a Marvel version of Destiny.

Focusing on a fan instead of the heroes themselves and having a high emphasis on loot, honestly I'm not too keen on the direction they're taking this game.

@RogerRoger totally agree with you. And isn't it just such a shame? I've been so impressed by their work on the tomb raider series and am so disapointed that this is what they gave it up for. Yes you could argue Square Enix are also to blame here; but wow!

Literally no interest in looter shooters or titles, which on the face of it, appear to be designed to manipulate gamers into reaching for their wallet to unlock all the content that should be in the vanilla release

@Rob_230 Let's not forget that Rise of the Tomb Raider had microtransactions, though. You could buy modifier card packs for its Challenge Mode. It's quite telling that Shadow of the Tomb Raider, developed by Eidos Montreal with Crystal Dynamics in a supervisory role, reverted back to a more traditional value-for-money Season Pass post-launch structure.

So you're right to mention Squeenix as a culprit here, but Crystal Dynamics have shown that they're more than willing to go along with its publisher's mandate.

I guess now we know how they got the Marvel job, then.

What loot does Hulk have? Different pants?

Well if you play as Iron man you now get to play a good version of Anthem. But seriously I hope they get Iron mans feel and flying right because that's the one thing Anthem did right.

@ShogunRok Basically its a generic GaaS with Avengers skins.

@ShogunRok I am a Marvel fan and this is not what I want. As you mentioned Spider-Man. That is the standard that I expect to be upheld and Square had the nerve to compare it, but they were talking about sales, which is all they care about with this GaaS.

Alright I joined just to stop the daggone Destiny talk. It's the new Marvel Heroes is all there is nothing to hate on here. As soon as it was shown off I said to my buddy new MH I bet my life. Also on a side note long time reader love the site.

I feel too that the bubble has burst on these style games. We haven’t really see a success story in a good long time. As someone who wants this game to be awesome, I don’t see a marvel themed looter shooter as being the best match for the IP

Grindman was always my least fave marvel superhero.... right behind lootboxgirl....

Shame the paired those two for their own spin off

Yet above people are losing there crap over Diablo.......look microtransactions are now in our life I don't like it. Blame the people watching youtubers open MUT packs. Until we say no and EA's latest statement says we haven't, we don't seem to be tired enough of them. So a Marvel Diablo ala Marvel Heroes supported with microtransactions blows. A game being made by ....oppression supporters that no one even knows if it'll have microtransactions is a I can't wait.....ooooookkkkk
