I'm wondering what your thoughts on Mua3 are then(all admittedly you do get flight and webswinging there and the new game is going to have normals actually being unique with both melee and ranged ones with different styles and movements)
Ultimate Alliance isn't a AAA game. I'm more forgiving when a game isn't hyped up and teased by its publisher for over a year only to turn out to be Destiny but with punching this time.
I mean...there's a reason those games were two hours long.
Not sure why no one is answering you but "Games As A Service" is a game that you must be connected to online and usually continuously pay for on a reoccurring basis. Some games require pay just to play while other games for money to keep your character or weapons updated. Many use Pay to Win mechanics and loot boxes.
There are many types of GaaS, some are MMO, some are Free to Play/Free to Start, some are mobile. Destiny, Dota 2, Fortnite, Candy Crush and WoW can fall under this umbrella.
This is especially disappointing since the early theories gave people hope for a massive single player narrative.
2 years of teasing actually. Then again with Mua3 Nintendo's done a very brisk 7 months from reveal to release
Pretty much. MUA is a smaller game overall, and it hasn't been hyped to heaven and back by Nintendo.
By comparison, this game is supposed to be Square Enix's biggest game until FFVIIr or FFXVI come out. Seeing a bunch of neutered, gimped versions of Marvel heroes in a mega-hyped AAA game is a lot more disappointing and frustrating than it would be in a small game like Ultimate Alliance.
Thanks for the reply Sketch!
Maybe it's because is common knowledge at this point lol.
I usually don't play online nor any of the games you mentioned.
It sounds awful for me at least so I'll have to see what's the game about first and then decide if it could buy it.
Hoping for the best case scenario though!
It won't be because the Hero nature fixes one of Anthem's core issues. Storytelling.
In Anthem it's dull because internet strangers are your companions. In this game everyone plays as a set role so you aren't pairing up with Noobmaster69 you are pairing up with Captain America/Ironman and cutscenes reflect that. Noobmaster69 or a friend is just playing the role of an AI companion in the action parts hopefully better then the default AI
Mission structure is likely going to be like Mass Effect with some missions open to all characters/builds while others will require specific players/heroes as there are specific stories that the creative teams want to tell about those characters ie How Liara was a mandatory companion in ME2s Lair of the Shadowbroker DLC
I wish people would stop mentioning Destiny and Anthem together. One is the most amazing games ever created in my opinion and the other is a steaming pile of dog shit.
your post sparked fear in me...what if it IS like destiny, with the different avengers leading each 'class' in a hub section (like clyde and those other main characters) in destiny.
Well i hope it's something like this.If they can manage to create an interesting world and have a good story then it could be great!
It definitely seems possible. Create your own character in these games seems to hurt more then help. Take any great party based RPG and swap an human in for Combat AI and you have the best of both worlds.
Borderlands gets closest to this currently but not having the ability to swap mains/team composition hurts it since it doesn't build comraderie among the individual characters.
Most other GAAS games give up the ability to do this by having create your own character designs vs the create your own version of this beloved character design
Detective Loki
Imagine Mass Effect 2 but playing with 3 friends. You each choose a character out of the crew so you could have Garrus, Tali and Mordin go on a mission all played by you and your friends, or Jacob, Miranda and Thane ect
I meant the genre. Destiny may be good but it is still GaAs. Not a fan of those. Those two are the popular ones atm
Ah, my excitement is killed.
Yeah, based on the description I can easily see it falling into the problem of heroes just being slightly varied ways to tackling the same exact obstacles. 'Want to kill this mob as
But the idea of jumping between heroes GTA V -style to tackle a linear story is an idea I'm finding really cool. I can adapt the battles at the end of Avengers and Age of Ultron in my head to that kind of formula.
Exactly. There's a way to make a really compelling Marvel game using the strengths of specific characters to do interesting things and creative setpieces. Do a level where Iron Man and Captain Marvel have to fly into space to stop an army of Kree drone ships from attacking Earth, and then a level where Thor and the Hulk are fighting Fin Fang Foom or another giant enemy.
Instead we're just gonna get stock levels where the only choice is which color you want your hit sparks to be when you punch the same generic low-level goons this time.
When did they claim their not being interested would prevent that success?
People who respond like this must think they're so above it all lol.
Person X doesn't like Y. It's ok. No need to be a troll.
I'm hoping so too. This sounds pretty cool if true.
I'm interested in a comics based game. Not really interested in a cash in based on movies based on comics.
MCU movies are good adaptation, but story and character wise it's still pretty weak even a decade in.
I hope it's something I'll like.
Very few GaaS games end up being something I want to play which is a shame because so many of the biggest games this gen have been GaaS
Destiny I just never much cared for the gameplay loop and since I'm not interested in multiplayer, not being able to do the raid content feels like I'm missing a huge chunk of the game.
Anthem was, well, Anthem...
Division I didn't care much for the loot or story.

there's no footage and anything to be pessimist yet about this game, and i'm a very pessimist guy by nature
I legit can't think of a single GaaS single player game that I've ever played that was improved by being a GaaS.
So you have never liked DLC expansions?
Mario Kart 8 base to Mario Kart 8D is a huge difference.
The only DLC expansion that was worth the money I paid for it was Blood and Wine. Most games nowadays aren't even good enough to justify the initial cost, much less paying them even more for two hours of mediocre post-game content.
I do want them as NPCs. I'd love to design a new hero and play that way.
Agreed. DCUO is hampered by some terrible pay to win lootboxes and loot reset currency. And it's running on UE3 so it's getting pretty long in the tooth. That said, the fan service is out of control good, the combat can be quite fun, the styling system is fantastic and the variety of powers/ weapons/ movement is great. An AAA Marvel spin on that formula could be amazing.
Pretty much. I'm expecting MARVELS version of DCU Online.We were expecting this...
...but we might end up with...
...so now we're all like...
For what it's worth, Lady Bow & I did some digging yesterday regarding the reveal trailer & how it may tie into the Ms. Marvel rumor (namely regarding her main voice actress, Kathreen Khavari). Here's what we found.
Maybe it's for the best that y'all are trashing this before reveal
I remember the last time that y'all did this, with Apex Legends
"Respawn making a Titanfall battle royale game without wall-running or titans? DEAD ON ARRIVAL INSTANT FAIL RIP RESPAWN"

Its still gonna have a massive single player narrative based on the description
It just died after arrival is all.
I kid, I don't jive with the negativity here either. What we're hearing about this game in these threads sound great.
Imagine the publisher that's made countless single player games all gen, just abandoning all that completely. Come on now. Will there be Gaas, yes absolutely but y'all so over the top it's insane
