Marvel's Avengers Takes Aim at Kate Bishop Add-On, Free from 8th December

I love Kate Bishop and this is a dream come true... in any game except this. Seriously, who’s even still playing this?

I stilI can't believe this wasn't nominated for any awards 😌 but yeah I forgot this game existed and after I leave this comment I will forget it once again.

This game is dead yo! Square Enix lost millions!

Who thought waiting four months for the first new content drop was a good idea? And then thought the first two characters added should both be Hawkeye?

Just seems like they never knew wth they were doing with this game.

@MFTWrecks I feel like Clint Barton surely has to be Ronin at this point, it just makes no sense to have two different Hawkeyes as distinct characters rather than skins.

I see so many people on sites being so critical of this game. Did no one play Destiny or Destiny 2 at launch? They were worse than this and you had to pay for bug fixes in the form of expansions. At least this is free content

@Ragdoll72 Most people can't resist hate-bandwagons

@naruball

A game that has unfulfiling loot, a campaign marred down by its lack of diversity and variety in environment design, a story that pitfully underutilizes Marvel's back catalogue of heroes and villains to an extent that they actually feel more unimportant than the faceless mooks you'll be fighting 96% of the time, characters that largely play almost exactly the same with little variation outside of stat differences, gameplay that is essentially a worse version of Ultimate Alliance with technical bugs & severe framerate drops, and sleazy cross promotions that lock content to venues as absurd as mobile carriers like Verizon

Yeah this game totally doesn't scream half-hearted cash grab to capitalize on a beloved property that found success with the mainstream, I'm just a hater. If you like the game that's fine, but don't go around calling the people who were legitimately critical of the game a dumb hater because clearly that just shows we actually demand more from our games. especially in a post-Spider-Man PS4 world

@TheFrenchiestFry Plenty of people who have actually played it (including reviewers) have praised it for its campaign. Is their opinion somehow not legit, while yours is?

But feel free to bash it all you want and only look at its arguable shortcomings.

As for me, you can make all the assumptions you want. I played the beta and loved it. The characters most certainly didn't feel the same to me and they were a joy to play (especially The Hulk). I'll buy it when it's cheaper and judge for myself.

I have no problem with people who played it and didn't like it. I have with those who focus 100% on what they don't like about it and don't give credit where it's due and with those who haven't played it at all but couldn't resist the bandwagon. If you do either, you're a hater. Criticism per se isn't bad. You become a hater or a fanboy when you pretend that the positive/negative don't exist.

I'm just glad that Sony hasn't bought into his GaaS BS...yet. I liked Destiny and The Division, until they turned into a grind. Now I instantly see the grind with all new GaaS releases, and rather than buy in, I avoid them.

And in case anyone mentions Dreams...it's not a GaaS. It's a game creator and pretty freaking awesome because of the (oh so much more talented than I) community.

@TheFrenchiestFry @naruball you guys are both so far at opposite ends of the spectrum that you're never going to agree lol. Walk away.

This is a great example of how NOT to do a Marvel game.

Let this game die.

I will not touch this again until it comes to PS5

Personally, I enjoyed the campaign and the game generally, though I only play solo, I do like to have a blast from time to time. However, if really down as many players as claimed, going to be a hard crawl to remain active. A real shame as would really like to see the added characters, but fear they may give up with this without a solid player base. Maybe would have been better as a campaign only, story based game with paid dlc for characters.

I'm still just waiting for this to go on sale. Then I'll know whether to agree with @naruball or @TheFrenchiestFry.

But I guess it's doing well enough that they don't need to offer it up at a discount yet so I suppose that's something.

EDIT: And now it's on sale.

96% pc player drop, I wonder what the console version numbers are?

WHO?

A woman version of no ones favourite Avenger?

SOLD!

I have to wonder if they’ll go back to Deus Ex after this or if DE is just as dead as this game is.

@everynowandben would love another DE game. Good shout👌

I feel like this game is a flop mainly because of its timing. It should have been released prior to Avengers endgame when the Marvel hype was at its peak.

Also, the fact that they do not use the likeness of the actors is a big turnoff for a lot of people.

@Starkei Kate Bishop is one of the most enduringly popular legacy characters of the 2000s same as Miles Morales and Kamala Khan. While she may have the same power set as Clint Barton, her dynamic with him and the Young Avengers is what makes her so popular. I highly recommend Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie run on Young Avengers for anyone unfamiliar with Kate Bishop as a character. She’ll be in the MCU next year so I suppose people will probably only care about her then.
