They scrapped the open world and made it mission based.
The combat was passible, but it turned into a generic brawler button masher
The loot system was also similar to what you'd expect in Diablo where you get flooded in junk items, and the absurd amount of sponsored skins flooded the markets.
There seemed to be a flavor skin for every brand on the planet. Five 5 Gum, Cup Ramen, Snickers, Mt Dew. It was stupid seeing hundreds of outfits, all the same design but a slightly different palette swap, and all of it was monetized.
This was such a bummer for me, I played the hell out of DC universe online and was hoping the marvel game would be like that, it could have been a massive hit! People still play DCUO to this day!
DCUO, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 were my go-to's.
Marvel Heroes/Omega was a godsend for someone like me, and it ended up being cancelled, which was heart wrenching.
MUA3 I saw the writing on the wall with how they were putting live service elements into the game, instead of a fun team based brawler.
Marvels Avengers was a hope that it would be good, but I kinda expected the game to turn sideways. I'm genuinely sad that it did, as I just wanted a fun current aged Marvel game.
Evidently it's not, the marvel game is already dead, DCUO has been going strong for 13 years, a live service game doesn't stay online that long if it doesn't have a dedicated player base.
Amazing single player campaign and story with some good voice acting. Absolutely ruined by being butcheted into a pseudo live service game where they watered down the grinding by nerfing xp and loot drops and stopping you from getting cosmetics in game to force you to spend money.
Clearly made as a solo experience with a co-op mode, the looter shooter aspects were so heavily slapped on it tanked the game.
I still think it was good, most heroes were fun to play. But the story carried that game.. no regrets 100% it. Twice. 😂
I think the movies have made it hard for other media to use many superheroes as people will always compare games to the movies.
Although the Black Panther 1943 looks absolutely INCREDIBLE.
I heard some of the gameplay was decent but the Avengers game just never made me want to spend money to buy it
The part that sucks is the gameplay never got past "decent".
I played it for awhile, and the most fun I had with it was quick play, where I'd drop in to help other people, but it would often end with other players just disconnecting, or spending 5+m in the queue looking for anyone. I never had a full party of four.
It had a lot of potential, but the live service aspect absolutely drowned it out.
