The latest Marvel's Avengers War Table blog essentially towed the line, teasing upcoming releases while staying true to this week's mild mission rollover. Fortunately, for Crystal Dynamics, next week cashes in on the highly hyped and long-awaited content release, including the new character, Kate Bishop, while hopefully bringing some necessary changes to end game.

    If something can be overshadowed by Kate Bishop, it probably wasn't all that interesting.

    With Hawkeye being released somewhere around the corner I'm curious as to why they wanted to go with Kate Bishop instead of other potential Avengers?

    They may as well wait a couple of weeks after the Cyberpunk launch to passably get any traction again.

    Honestly I don't see Kate Bishop saving the game though.

    It was suppose to be black panther, but when the actor that played him died they decided to hold off on releasing him out of respect for the actor. At this point though with all the delays they still could have released him.

    I have a pretty good hunch as to why but msot would just scoff at my hunch because the ydon't pay attention to every little detail from a developer like Square like i have.I have been around Square games since forever and of course their online venture with FFXI.

    I could tell you the story of the first time Square responded with updates to classes/jobs because players were beginning to complain about some classes not getting invites.Their first response was seriously mind boggling,they catered to the ONE class "RDM" that didn't need ANY help at all.Well if you  were there at the time you MIGHT be able to figure out the WHY.Even after Square got around to the other classes they were less impactful as the RDM changes/additions.

    I can also lean on another reason why I think I know,they always were posting stuff telling us the changes were based on player feedback,i was like wtf,i never heard a single rumbling asking for the changes that were made.
    Soooo i would ask myself,who the hell is this community they claim to be listening to?If you can figure that one out ,then you have your answer and my hunch.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    I would not have minded buying and playing this because I enjoy good stories in my RPG. However when I asked on the forums on Steam about the combat they talked about timed stuff. Where if you did not make a jump or a wall run and stuff on cue then you won't be able to progress. These types of things always lead me to decide against buying a game.

    I demoed the Shadow of the Tomb Raider and I found I was dying over and over because some jumps even when I aimed my body towards the cliff when I jumped using all the correct keys I somehow managed to turn my body and fall off. Combat wasn't an issue but the jumps were so badly frustrating me and if I have to try like 20-30 times before I make a successful jump I might as well drop the game.

    This is why I don't buy some games. It had nothing to do with the story because I loved the way the story was going and the market in Cozumel with the Día de los Muertos was amazing as a backdrop. However you have to admit falling over and over was no way to play and I am not blaming the developers because they are developing games to their audience and probably ones using a controller were having a much easier time of it. I was obviously not part of their idea of the type of player that might enjoy their game. I was playing it on easy too but I don't think it makes any difference for the jumping bits in any case the difficulty for that was fixed and I failed miserably.

    I am not advocating that developers change their games to cater to people like me but in this case I am merely saying I might have bought it had they done something like what they did in Horizon Zero Dawn (henceforth referred to the game that manages to cater to all types of difficulties and one I adore). Sometimes you can tap into a reservoir of players you completely forgot about and still make some sales

    Be that as it may, a single shift in their plans resulted in their first big playable dlc character being a Z-lister. That never should have happened. Every single one of their early additions should have been the type of big name heroes who could actually give this game that crucial early momentum.

    Yes, Black Panther, but also Dr. Strange, Wolverine, Daredevil, Star Lord, Ant Man, the Wasp, Captain Marvel, Deadpool, etc.

    Groot, Rocket, Vision, Quicksilver, Black Knight, Beast, Moondragon, Hellcat, Two Gun Kid, Starfox, Doctor Druid, She-Hulk, Tigra, Thing, Firebird, Quasar, Human Torch, Sersi, Forgotten One, Mister Fantastic, Rage, Luke Cage, Echo, Nova, Daredevil, Agent Venom, Quake, Storm, Havok, Cannonball, Sunspot, Ronin, Brother Voodoo, Deadpool, Synapse, Cable....just to name a few. Granted, that list is not all in-clusive..but..they could have picked LITERALLY, over 50 different/better archetypes/superheroes instead of another archer nobody.

    So many Avengers over the years had interesting powers, and could easily be adapted into the game to be fun and unique. It's unfortunate, and maybe they are deliberately trying to tank the game so as to cancel it and move on? Who knows, but, they have to be losing out on a bunch of money as well as further tarnishing their names/brand as a developer.

    Just sucks we won't have a decent Marvel Heroes Omega alternative.

    It would make more sense to save her for her debut on the Hawkeye TV show next year.  Assuming that Marvel is pushing for her release.
