Crystal Dynamics finally released the long awaited, and modestly anticipated character, Hawkeye, in Marvel's Avengers last week. Hawkeye has flash and sizzle, but the update puts Crystal Dynamics in a precarious situation. One that even a roadmap can't cure.

    The problem for me remains that no one seems to be playing on pc. I haven’t had a multiplayer hit in months.

    If every article refers to whether or not the game will be saved saved by a dlc or update, not just on here similar articles appear elsewhere, then you know the game is struggling to survive.

    Nope. If they want to save this game, they need:

    * Characters people actually want to play (Spiderman, Black Panther, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, Xmen, Scarlet Witch, and Deadpool to name some obvious ones).

    * Patrol zones. (I'm hopeful for that "wasteland patrol" on the roadmap.)

    * More variety in their enemies.

    * More endgame content.





    Also, while releasing the next gen version now was good for their players, it was a bad decision. That was their biggest possible saving throw, and they needed to use it as a reminder that this game exists AFTER adding the above to make it worth reminding people.

    Supposedly they fixed this on the latest patch? That's what they said in the patch notes, but tbh I think the small surge in players from the update just makes it a little easier to find a group right now.

    I wish it had a bigger roster on release. It's one of those things that bothers me because yes while they did have a small number of Avengers but everyone has already played them over and over so by the time any new Avenger or Hero comes out the mass just flocks over to it and nobody wants to play anybody else.

    I don't think anything could save this game at this point. There are a lot of people who feel like SE screwed them on this and all the cookies and ice cream on earth aren't going to bring them back.

    The fact the first new characters were female hawkeye and hawkeye, shows that they might not have thought this through all the way. I keep expecting thinking this was published by EA the way they pound the "Game as a Service" model down your throat.

    The other characters right now are basically the opposite of who's already been released if the "leaked" roster is true. Supposedly we still got War Machine and She Hulk coming out. Spider Man and Black Panther may be different.

    Surely making some endgame content wouldnt be that hard... Even what they have now! just change to multi player?

    Or some of the maps into open roaming with random respawn???

    Great they spend all this time on new chars... but maybe dont spend all the time just on that?

    This game has some many things it needs. Overall the top two are more characters and content. The roster is pathetic at this point. I know it takes time to make new characters but they should have had more ready to go to be released over time. I know they held back black panther after the death of the Chadwick Boseman who was actually a local from here. They won points for that decision but just about every decision since can be questioned.

    As far as content goes, the story was great. I really enjoyed playing through it. There endgame is boring as hell. If you don't really have a plan to add more story content faster then you better have engaging endgame content. Don't even get me started on having to take longer to level up each and every character if you hadn't done it already.

    The story telling is great! but when that ends you are back to where you started... Maybe a little less story telling, new chars to play and some content? Sure we love a good story.... but rather some long lasting content! New char with some 5min video explaining there arrival... If you make enough end game then people might PAY for the new chars... eg Marvel Hero's

    Imagine being a developer and thinking Hawkeye is your Avengers game's saving grace. I'm pretty sure he is the least liked avenger. If CD and SE actually cared. They would of launched Black Panther and Spider-Man at the same time.

    Well as just about any super can be in the Avengers and that was from the comics not the films I am not sure that's true. But I would agree, to me supers must have a super power, rather goes with the territory.

    That depends entirely on the jelly, mate.

    Hawkeye and Diet Hawkeye are petroleum jelly when what this sandwich needs is raspberry jam.
