![]() ![]() ![]() What’s worse is that this is a $60 game, not something free-to-play you can try out before you know how bad it is. In comparison, this is a soulless, cynical game that you should avoid.” Compared to Babylon’s Fall, Marvel’s Avengers is a beacon for mission variety, enjoyable combat and distinct visuals. “If Square Enix thought that Marvel’s Avengers was a disappointment, then this game should be seen as ground zero for a complete rethink of its strategy going forward. If its a gem you will spend 300 hours on, you can afford to wait 2 weeks. The feedback and review system has been rigged for good, every turd is depicted as being a gold apple, only weapon for us consumer - wait and see. ![]() What do we learn from this ? Unless you trust the producer (one name: From Software) dont preorder, dont buy on release, wait always 2-3 weeks. It is what it is, a buggy game pushed from the publisher using reddit, forbes etc in an attempt to at least mititgate the financial debacle. And slowly but surely the honeymoon will fade over, the (paid) press releases will try to squeeze some more cash out of the usual gullible, uninformed or cash whales - and then ? Of course this is what it is, a first attempt at looter shooter, with good ideas probably (we cannot play the game as the servers does not work), which in the 30 $ range may have been interesting. Fast forward to release date: Money has been paid (and at a AAA+ price), the cat is in the bag and people are left with a non-working game (servers) and when it works the mountain of all bugs never addressed in the beta. That the game was suddendly in the xbox game pass its a red flag as big as the ever given ship btw. Peppered with gems like "I like it even more because its so buggy and does not work I love it". And btw if someone raised some legitimate questions (for example, today day 3 after release, still a ban on press reviews, or the servers not working after 3 days) - barrage of "its the same for all the other games" or "its fauit of Azure" and downvotes. But (wonder how) tons of positive review, what a great game, what a great developer this is, and they really talk to us, we are so lucky - including a shill article on Forbes that concluded basically "even if this game does not work is great" - probably this was too much even for the journalist. ![]() Normally the reddit community for example would have ripped that apart. This game had a month-long Beta where tons of problems came to light - from the basic (janky movements of the character, cam-shaking to make you want to swith off your tv) to the real meaty ones (loot lost, char resets, coop not working, lag a nightmare with teleporting the norm, no concept for shared loot and so on). This game had a month-long Beta where tons of problems came to light - from A textbook example of "pushing" a product in the new economy.
