        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. Trying to balance it would be a nightmare for whatever team was tackling it.

          Any good Marvel game should definitely have heavily destructible environments.

          And they need to model different kinds of destruction too, from explosions to melting to being warped or having portions teleported away.

    Literally nobody asked for this.

    It will likely bomb, especially if it’s as crammed with microtransactions as I fully expect it will be.

    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).

        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.

          Oh, sure, there’s basically zero chance that this will actually be good. But that wasn’t my point. All I’m saying is that the idea of releasing an Overwatch style hero shooter right now isn’t inherently stupid.

            Am not the average consumer so I wouldn’t know. I do miss good strategy games, turn based and story rich RPGs, etc.

    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

    It’s a real shame because the premise could be awesome if done right but instead they went with the quick cash grab approach.

    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

    Tangentially related: Gigantic is coming back, so those of us who missed it might finally get to play it.

    Hell yes. Any time I play over watch I think “this reminds me of a marvel movie battle scene”
