Avengers

Post by Teal »

I pre-ordered, and have been playing the closed beta since Friday. First, this is one BIG beta, with a lot to see. Second, I've been pleasantly surprised at the depth. This is less mindless beatem up, and more "Avengers meets The Division 2".

You play the entire opening sequence, which is a lot like an Avengers film sequence. From there, you're given one or two story missions , then it's on to the co-op missions and the HARM room challenges, which are wave based survival modes.

Each character has their own skill tree and upgrades, which can be found in loot chests and combined and augmented much like The Division.

I can't wait for the full release now. Anyone else getting this on xb1?

Any game footage anywhere? Your Division comparison has me interested.

Interesting....I’ve been casually keeping an eye on it. Your impressions comparing it to The Division definitely have me interested. When does it release?

I didn't pre-order but I am interested does it have co-op play, preferably couch based co-op play?

I have no idea about couch co-op, but yes, much of the game is centered around co-op.

Lol, I know what you meant. I'm just saying I didn't investigate couch co-op.

Starts at 9pm local time. Maybe earlier. It was earlier last weekend. I really have enjoyed what I've played.

I tried to play this last night and the game wanted to link an account before I could play and I didn't have an account so naturally the press a button to skip that kept going in a loop and wouldn't allow me to play it, so if you want to try the game you have to sign up for account with square enix.

Hmm. I linked an account so my daughter could get some fortnite loot, but not until I had played the closed beta.

Still, it's fairly easy to do, and I usually forget about those things afterward.

Created an account and got it linked to the beta and played it a couple hours, fun game with really good graphics.

Had a bit of a rough first day with the full version. Some loading problems, some graphics not coming in, characters falling into the scenes...

But went back to it last night, played for hours, and had a blast. This game is legit. And the beta barely even scratched any surface. Some of these missions are DAMN epic and fun.

I honestly got stuck in the beta on the Hulk mission and stopped playing. I bought the full version but didn't think it unlocked to 9/4.

The special edition unlocked yesterday. And the more I play, the more I like it.

This is, honestly, one of the most rewarding and fulfilling games I've played in a long time. I'm a pretty big MCU fan, and I've had a blast playing this game.

I've pretty much stayed to the campaign thus far, and it's a great little story with much more to it than the beta indicated.

I would love to put this through some co-op paces once a few folks get it Friday.

So, I have been playing this nonstop (other than work) since early release, and stayed with nothing but story.

I completed the campaign thus evening. My goodness, what a fulfilling and satisfying campaign.

But I haven't even really begun. This game has the potential for some REALLY long legs.

I won't say too much, since the regular release isn't until tomorrow, but I'm very happy with this.

How does the game compare to something like The Division? For co-op?

Same concept, different style. Loot boxes that upgrade your stats and strengths, enemies to fight, all that. Just not having to hide behind cover that often because you're a super hero..lol.

You're not confined to one location, but the whole world. Hotspots pop up, and you need to go there and do... Whatever the mission calls for. There are alternate side missions in many of the missions, things to find, that sort of thing.
