PC Gamer - SNIKT! Few sounds in the history of pre-battle auditory cues are as satisfying in terms of the promise of imminent carnage as Wolverine’s adamantium claws springing from beneath his regenerating flesh. Which is why I’m always filled with gleeful bloodlust when I hear them in a game that allows me to control the path of their wanton destruction. I got to get my hands on Marvel Heroes’ take on good ol’ Wolvie as well as some other iconic characters in the free-to-play, Diablo-style beat ‘em up. Read on for details on powers, loot, boss fights, and more.
A non-profit educational group is looking to buy the Marvel Heroes license to either maintain the MMOARPG as-is or use it to build an entirely new game.
Why campaign is set to "Flexible goal"? Like "We desperately need $450 000, but hey, we'll settle for any amount of money you'll give to us. And we won't have to do a damn thing.".
They say in Indiegogo campaign: "To achieve our plan, we are currently seeking a minimum of $450k – $900k". MINIMUM of $450k, so why "flexible"?
Next, they say that currently, "creditors claims totaling at $900K" and "The closer our offer is to those claims, the greater our chances of success". A chance costs $450 000.
They're also saying that "One downside is that Gazillion has spent millions to license the use of characters and story lines over the years", where will they get millions for a license? Another campaign? Aggressive microtransactions? Oh, right, "Unless millions are raised to fund this campaign, the odds of this option being successful are very limited."
Even their Paragon university website has "Coming Soon" on it and "Elder mage" have only one "news" and copy-pasted content from Indiegogo campaign. Sounds like a scam to me.
Chris and Colby are back with Episode 2 of the Gaming Historia podcast. In this episode, we use the imminent closure of Paragon as a jumping off point to discuss Digital Gaming and how it affects gaming as a whole. In addition, we get a little off topic about questionable things that are done with amiibos.
There's not a lot of closure when free-to-play games go away.
I almost spent 50 bucks on this game. It's sad for the people that spent all that money.
