What about a Marvel battle Royale?!
caut_R@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’s the kinda forward thinking that I like to hear! Here‘s your 200m, you have 2 years, I expect a prototype of the ingame shop by the end of next week

I mean if it actually had good diverse gameplay per character and allowed us to obliterate our surroundings I could see it having a player base for a bit.

Too little too late. With superhero fatigue and people not liking Overwatch has much. This game is dead on arrival.

Counterpoint, people love Overwatch, they hate what Blizzard did to it. There’s an audience out there hungry for this exact product if someone can do it right (or, at least, about 20% less wrong than Blizzard).
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 8 months ago
And yet they won’t do it right because everyone wants to make a game as a service these days and sell loot boxes and collectibles with season passes, special editions, early adopter bonuses, login bonuses and in-game currency. If it lacks even two the things I mentioned, I’d be surprised.

This is going to be straight garbage. Not only will it be overstuffed with every microtransaction possible, there’s no way to balance the characters while still keeping them true to the comics. Thor vs. Mantis? Dr. Strange vs. Punisher? Maybe you can help it a bit by having some of the classes be dps/healer/tank, and constrain them somehow, but I don’t see how this would ever work.
Outside of a mobile game. If they are making it a mobile game, it will make $2 billion and be a completely unbalanced piece of shit, and everyone will love it anyways and play it for the next two years.

I’m so tired that this kind of opinion has infested lemmy discourse. Reddit wasn’t this bad.
Wait for shit to come out before getting mad at it. You don’t have to write fan fiction on how mad you are about something just so you can get your anger based serotonin fix early.
qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 8 months ago
Reddit was definitely worse than one person’s opinion on a obvious cash grab mobile game. I’m not mad. I’m likely not the target audience for this game. If you are excited about it, be excited. Go play it. Give them your money. They will be excited too. Have fun. Spend. Enjoy.

You know people can look at the world around them, notice trends, and name fairly accurate predictions of the future based on them, yeah?

What’s the last NetEase game you’ve played? I’ll wait.
Neato@ttrpg.network 8 months ago
Just Hawkeye and Black Widow. They don’t have powers, they’re just good at their jobs. It’s already silly in they other games they appear but at least there they don’t fight each other.

There’s going to be some silly background story that somehow levels the playing field, I’m guessing…

This is a solved problem in the comic book digital media universe: anyone with insufficient powers is given a robot suit to bring them up to par.
Batman … in a robot suit. Spider man … in a robot suit. The Punisher … in a robot suit. Tony Stark … in a robot suit.

Created by netease, which means it will be a piece of fucking shit flush with micro transactions designed to suck as much of your life away for as little possible effort
Voytrekk@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Marvel copy of an existing game developed by NetEase? Nope
cdipierr@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Not sure about this guys - not even Overwatch wants to be Overwatch right now…
Mini_Moonpie@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I just want Marvel Heroes back.

For real, that game was such a good time.
dlpkl@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I would have been hyped for this before the time of predatory microtransactions. Now I’m just bummed to see how shit it’ll be
intensely_human@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Hell yes. Any time I play over watch I think “this reminds me of a marvel movie battle scene”

Tangentially related: Gigantic is coming back, so those of us who missed it might finally get to play it.
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
Literally nobody asked for this.
It will likely bomb, especially if it’s as crammed with microtransactions as I fully expect it will be.
snooggums@midwest.social 8 months ago
I heard you like microtransactions, so I put microtransactions in your microtransactions.
