He is so damn fun to play as. Love flying around and shooting everything
Ironman is unusually cool to play. What really sells it is his animations. And the fact that you can pretty much fly anywhere you want during combat. I think he will be my main since I dont see anyone talking about him (only widow).
(if I end up getting the game... Performance is lackluster)

So when do you expect them to fix the AI so you can direct them? It's annoying playing as say Black Widow and knowing you can't break doors down or Hulk/Kamala with hacking in certain missions.
Kinda forces your hand to play as Ironman as he can do both if you aren't trying to matchmake.
Cancelled my pre-order as there's nothing here beyond the IP and the movesets that's actually enjoyable and expecting plenty of grind for anything that requires mats or bypassing the economy.

I can't stop playing this beta. Over the last two weekends I clocked in more than 20 hours of this. This is so addicting that I even got Ultimate Alliance 3 including Season Pass yesterday to hold me over til launch lol
Hulk is all about using his Rage mode and using enemies as clubs to do crazy AOE damage and stagger/stun.
I have a stream video of me playing as Hulk and basically going through a lot of his stuff (this is at low level) and how to use him. I play him on hard mode here https://youtu.be/9m3NA7Bz_YQ?t=293
He is basically the tank, even has a move that gives him armor and taunts enemies, he absorbs damage with his rage meter, deals more damage with it AND heals himself with it. Basically an ABSOLUTE UNIT.
Random matchmaking will not lock you out of anything cause you select your hero BEFORE you matchmake and then only get matched with people who have selected other heroes.
The devs said they want to add commands in the future and also make it so the AI automatically smashes doors or hacks terminals for you.
No idea if at launch or later
I think I watched part of your video and saw it mentioned as well, originally I thought multiple power moves would break the doors but had no luck.
I will revisit this next gen - hopefully the Devs dont punish late adopters like in Destiny.

Yeah right now in the beta the only ways to break those doors are power moves from Hulk, Kamala and the Hulkbuster
I enjoyed the first 10 minutes or so of the beta but the action gets repetitive really quickly and the fights outstay their welcomes. I do like a lot of the elements around it: I got addicted to the levelling system straight off the bat and the graphics are pretty good but the action just doesn't have enough variety to it.
Wasn't expecting to like this game as much as I did.
It looks and runs great (PSpro), and most of the heroes were fun to play.
I liked Captain America the most, from what little I got to play with him, and I would rank them as follows:
Captain > Hulk > > Kamala > BW > Ironman > Thor.
Ironman and Thor felt clumsy to me.

I'm abit torn on this. It was fun in parts, but it was pretty unpolished and rough in parts, and some of the boss fights were kinda stupid.
If they can promise improvements I'll probably pick it up for a dumb multiplayer destiny like game.

The challenger card kinda confuses me, I can basically buy tiers with that currecy that is required for it and I bought like the entire card in one go for Ms Marvel.
I don't even know where I got that much currency from or what else can we do with that currency? What's the downside of buying tiers? Will this currency also be used to buy real season passes like Warzone?

It's the premium currency, they just give you a bunch for the beta. It doesn't carry over.
Hulk can absorb damage, regain his health from dealing damage and also has a heroic that gives him armor.
He is anything but weak.
I fully agree that his sprint needs to be faster though. His jumps are ok, but the sprint is too slow.
Use Rage (pressing R2) while punhing to regen health. You can improve Rage in the skill tree too. He can get pretty tanky.
Ah yeah that makes sense, everything said free but costs currency anyways.
You normally unlock all those things by doing the daily and weekly challenges for the characters which give you challenge points.
Each challenge card takes 200 challenge points to fully unlock. in the beta a daily challenge gives 3 and a weekly gives 11.
These values can obviously be totally different in the full game
Its really strange, I know--video game but I just dont feel powerful at all.
It's all about the Rage mode and using it to parry and absorb damage while healing yourself.
Also using enemies as clubs which is just insanely strong.
Have you seen my video of me playing as Hulk earlier? I don't really want to post it again cause I feel I get banned for advertising lol
If you look a couple posts above you can see the link there
Incredible, I have not been able to start a single mission online today because somebody always does not klick on "launch mission".
I hope the retail release just starts the missions anyway.

Had several crashes and bugs but I can still see the potential in the game. I want to roll the PC version first before I decide though. I really hope this is an older build with a lot of improvements in the retail version but I'm definitely waiting for positive impressions/patch support and possibly enhancements for a PS5 release/upgrade.
Yeah took me a while yesterday to get into proper missions. I usually play solo but wanted to at least try some multiplayer.
Once I got into some missions it worked pretty well though, although it felt kinda weird in some ways, like attacks from other heroes just wouldn't really show up. It also kept putting an AI Iron Man Hulkbuster hologram into the missions lol
I'm not here to say its great because I get anthem vibes but an hour tells you nothing you really have to level a character and unlock some skills. Just like Anthem the combat is actually the strong point and it actually seems to have better loot drops but I worry that it will all become repetitive.
Is the matchmaking broken on PS4? doesn´t find any players which simply can´t be. doesn´t bode well for the release when there are problems to find 3 other players in the "beta".(which is more a glorified demo anyways)
and all in all to me it seems this whole loot and co op stuff is more like an afterthought and because GaaS than a game completely designed and balanced with multiplayer in mind.
edit: what this game really lacks is an open world city hub like in City of Heroes/City of Villains.

Finished the mega boss mission, Attack on Titan or whatever its called lol. The HARM Challenges and that mission gave me such a big smile on my face. I can see the appeal of the game for sure. Excited to see what else is in store for launch. Definitely will be keeping an eye on this one.
matchmaking has been borked since last weekend, yeah.
this weekend it was sometimes working.
I'll look for it.
Thanks, I know its going to take some time to master.
Sadly no, you gotta delete the savefile and basically restart the entire beta.
Working my back through the thread, so you may have found this out already by now. There is an upgrade skill for Black Widow's grapple-traversal that allows you to continue the momentum by holding the Jump-button.
Ah, dang it. Thanks for the answer, though.
On the same subject, does the beta even have cloud saving? Should I delete save files both locally and online?
One more beta weekend next weekend, and then the game comes out a week and a bit after that.
Thanks.
Don't envy the devs, must be going through hell right about now. But it's a fine game, if you can get past the F2P mechanics (in a paid game). Marvel Future Fight has trained me well.
I tried anthem, flying in that was way better than iron man by far imo.
I'm really undecided on which version to get. PC should be a safe bet but that port is riddled with problems or wait for XSX or go PS4 Day1.
Goddamn.
Goddamn.
Be the best consumer you can be: ALL OF THEM :P
Joke aside, I'm sure the PC version will be fine at one point but if you're worried about performance, then wait for XSX cause PS4 performance is yikes too.
Unless you plan on getting a PS5, cause then go PS4 and use the free upgrade to PS5
I'm going PS4 Pro day 1, while I wait on the PC port to be fixed.
Least the PS4 version includes the free PS5 upgrade too, plus 2 of my mates are playing it there.
It's a simple, fun game with an AAA budget, for sure. I just hope it doesn't get stale too quickly, and that they don't milk the paid aspects too much.
I had the most fun with Black Widow, for sure.

Wait for the release and we'll get the informations about which platforms runs better.
But as it stands right now, PC is still less a pain to play than the PS4 pro version if you have a beefy PC.
