Square Enix's Avengers - Bootleg Avengers with stretchy terrorist.

[InsolentGaylord]

Figured with the MCU thread in multimedia we should have a thread for the Square Enix Avengers Game coming out in May 2020. So far this game has generated a lot of flak for how underwhelming the Avengers themselves looked in the first trailer and possible Game as a Service mechanics. And now we have confirmation the main character isn't Tony Stark, Thor, Hulk, or Captain America, but Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel.

So have at it.

(Also people are mad that Eidos Montreal are working on it which apparently means no Deus Ex after they botched Mankind Divided)

Why have Ms. Marvel as the main character? Are they fucking retarded? This industry is getting worse every week.

Why have Ms. Marvel as the main character? Are they fucking exceptional? This industry is getting worse every week.

So they can sell you the characters you want to play for *in Mike the TV voice* NINE, NINTEY NINE, NINTETY NINE.

oh dear christ they're leading it with someone nobody knows or gives a shit about whose only power is swelling up her bodyparts
Nobody's going to play as the girl with a giant hand, they're just going to make porn of her having a dick.

Holy shit, the fetishistic sperging that will spew forth from Andrew Dobson will be neverending

Kamala Khan isn't popular enough to lead this kind of game. Your average MCU fan isn't gonna know who she is and is most likely gonna be annoyed they're aren't centered around the actual MCU leads.



I wish the MCU had the X-men if just so we could Storm as the lead instead, now that's character people would give a shit about. Preferably with a mohawk costume

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

I gotta say, the mix between faux-realistic graphics and Kamala's stretchy powers makes her look like a Silent Hill monster. It's incredibly disturbing to look at.

Everything about this game looks underwhelming. The combat looks generic as fuck; there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between controlling Thor and Hulk in combat. Hulk is especially egregious because his combat looks like a massive downgrade from Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, which made you feel super agile. Thor also looked hilariously underpowered. It's as if the game is too afraid to make characters feel different from each other so they're all the same, and that's just nonsensical for a game about the Avengers.

Because she got the hella long legs


Correct me if I'm wrong but i don't think that is her superpower?
Edit:I am wrong i guess Mario 64 is her superpower and it looks like it would be a glitch in any other modern game and it really clashes with everything.

 

[Cod of War]

I love how everyone hyped till they saw the E3 presentation. Now no one gives a shit.

Also, obligatory where's Hawkeye?

Her superpower is the ability to manipulate the size and volume of various body parts. If she had a functioning brain, she'd magnify her tits, thighs and ass, and sleep her way to riches and comfort. Instead, she makes balloon hands and punches rascally ne'er-do-wells.
To be perfectly honest, I think this power was given to her so her (novice beginning Tumblr diversity hire) artists wouldn't have to worry about keeping her proportions exact from panel to panel. "No, I'm not drawing her out of proportion, you ableist bigot! She's just using her powers!"

I'm just wondering why Ms. Marvel and not She-Hulk. Pretty sure everyone agrees that original She-Hulk was fun.

Or why not Sif? (Which is what I also said about Lady Thor, why Jane Foster and not Sif?) Sif would be amazing, and it's easy enough to work out sword-and-board mechanics with super-jumping.

Kamala Khan is 15 or so in-universe, IIRC. While I'll grant you that's probably not off-limits for a Pakistani Muslim, I don't think Marvel's ready to try to normalize it to U.S. audiences.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Fuck the voice cast. I'm tired of them.

Also I still don't get it. What is a live service game exactly

 

[Picnic_Boy]

I love seeing Marvel making horrible decisions in real time, it's like watching Homer pour a quart of lighter fluid on his barbeque. The anticipation is the best part.

 

[Remove Goat]

lol if I wanted to play an ensemble cast game with a lead who can inflate themselves, I'd go buy a One Piece game

Also I still don't get it. What is a live service game exactly

A live service game is one in which new content is added on a consistent basis. Usually with the promise of new skins,shorter side missions,daily/weekly challenges,and online component. Think of games like Shadows of war or Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 with its elsusive targets. They fund the new content through Microtransactions instead of a season pass.

In practice its tends to end up like any recent Ubisoft game where you have to pay for everything and it always online

There are couple of reasons for that. For starters, Marvel has really been pushing Ms.Marvel in the comics as a face, same with Captain Marvel...they haven't had great results on that front. There was also the fact that the Hulk and therefore his related characters were under Universal which was why he stopped getting solo movies. She's getting a tv show now, so I guess whatever deal they had got worked out.

As for Sif, I dunno, but she never seemed to be that popular a choice to use.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Spider-Man was also unable to be used because while he's now back in the MCU, Sony controls the game rights and even went as far to buy out Insomniac to make more Spider-Man games.

X-Men and Fantastic Four are not fully integrated into the MCU mostly due to existing contracts that need to be resolved before they can make reboot movies.

Because it's still true if you want something Marvel to sell just slap Wolverine on it.

Actually, her power is really shapeshifting which is an amazing power with all sorts of creative uses. Unfortunately, Kamala Khan's creator later decided that shapeshifting was too "broken" as a superpower and wasn't creative enough to develop interesting, challenging scenarios around that so we're left with this shrinking/growing shit that she seems to exclusively use.

Kamala is kind of a catch-all of every problem with Marvel right now so it's just fitting that this garbage game gets a burning trash heap for a main protagonist.
