It is hard to believe that it has been over a year since Marvel's Avengers released, and during that time we've covered some of the new character releases, alongside our original comprehensive review of the game. Since the release of War for Wakanda back on August 17th, a lot has happened, and now with the, highly controversial, PlayStation only Spider-Man release on November 30th, it's time to get all caught up on what you may have missed over the past few months.

    It's not hard to believe it's been a year since it release. It's hard to believe the servers are still up and running though.

    They really need to make this free on PS+ simultaneously with his release.

    It's sort of pathetic how Square Enix & Crystal Dynamics have handled this game towards their customers, what a dumpster fire.

    Because its Marvel, a testimony to IP overcoming a AAA game releasing as Early Access.

    It was Aeander above who back at launch was pointing out the schedule of heroes to come out did nothing to invigorate the game, I can remember being appalled by their choices.

    I need to invest in it again. Being a PS4 player I'm looking forward to Spider-man. From day one the game disappointed me just from the fact playing the Hulk never felt "tanky" and required a lot of dodging, say what?

    I'd be surprised at this move considering a lot of us multi-gaming systems people pre-ordered the PS4 version, in large part, due to Spider-man being an exclusive.

    Does Joe Biden run Crystal Dynamics? Everything they have touched has turned to crap, Marvel was arguably the hottest IP at the time and they managed to flush it down the toilet and make Anthem look good by comparison.

    Anthem had potential though. For all its issues, the worst thing about Anthem was that there wasn't more of it.

    No... the worst thing about it was how poorly optimized it was...

    This have been a good conversation

    I feel like blaming Crystal dynamics is a cop out. This was on square Enix. The Spiderman exclusive thing..totally square Enix BS. 

    Crystal dynamics builds great stories and the avengers single player was awesome. Square Enix is the one that pushed for live service. They even said they will keep pushing live service games, which is fine but not if they keep pulling this favoritism crap. 

    And let's not pretend that square Enix didn't realize the shape the game was in when they pushed it to launch. You know Crystal dynamics would have kept working on the game if they could. Might have been better for it since multuplayer was such a joke at launch and that was the main selling point of live service. SE set them up to fail.

    I mean it can be true that blaming CD is a cop out while also simultaneously being true that an Avengers live service is a better idea than its given credit for. How many of us mourn the loss of games like Marvel Heroes and City of Heroes after all.

    Touche friend. You're right. I do miss marvel heroes still. I was really hoping for more from avengers.

    Games are no longer built with a mind for the customer and growth, they are built purely to milk the customer for everything they can and the backlash is growing as they are getting smaller returns with each cash grab.

    Marvel got a good deal when SE spent 100mil+ to develop a game based on their IP/franchise. That info alone in 2020-2021 makes this game interesting cause who spends 100 mil on someone else's IP anymore? 100mil is almost the entire film budget for some Marvel movies... and SE fronted that money...

    292 players rn 433 24 hour peak

    Visually nice but engaging long-term gameplay is mia.

    Next time focus less on visuals and more on gameplay.

    I hope you are right but so far I see little sign that players are wising up to this.
