Superheroes are great! It's wonderful to have an idol to look up to. But, not every superhero game is created equal.
TheGamer writes, "It feels like live service history repeating itself right now, but it's not too late to change that."
Marvel’s Avengers didn’t soar properly on PS5 and Xbox, but Kill the Justice League looks like it will improve on it in every way.
Does that mean it will have a thousand pointless costumes like Avengers did, not related to the game or source?
"Guy who's excited for Suicide Squad to fill the void left by The Avengers' closure."
Here's a look at why so many online-multiplayer games from the past five years have struggled to retain players and their attention.
It's simply FOMO.
Gamers always go back to their staples like COD or Fortnite. Those games have constant content and leaving them for another game means getting left behind. Why start a new game and be behind when you can stay with a game you already excel at.
Because it's not about putting out a fully completed game packed with content and something that actually works
It's about putting something out broken and barebones, slowly drip feed content with a roadmap and offering tons of MTs which they hope people will buy.
I miss when you'd just get games like Killzone or Halo and they'd get a couple of DLC packs then the developers would move onto the next game. Problem is they started to be influenced by COD where future games had to have gimmicks, weapon mods, loadouts, killstreaks and other shit which just become about what you had unlocked rather than skill.
The last multiplayer game I really enjoyed was Uncharted 2s, it was literally just two boosters and everyone started with the same weapons. It was great and felt like it was more about skill but then we got Uncharted 3 and 4 where the COD influence creeped in thinking that everything had to be bigger rather than sticking to the fanbase they had.
Most people don't have the time to invest into playing multiple GAAS and stick to just one. It also doesn't help that so many games in that field only have a roadmap laid out for the first month or so. Hard to keep people invested when you don't give them a reason to stick around after the initial launch month.
My theory , well online gaming just sucks, so many online games recently that if done the right way could've been dope ass single player games. One that comes to mind evil dead. What a waste of the title
Ridiculous article. In order to see how ridiculous, go read it as proof of what I'm saying so it doesn't seem like I'm trashing it just because.
This person doesn't **PLAY** them. AT ALL. And says she has no interest in even playing the good ones to know. I'm serious. It's in the article.
Credit for some knowledge on the old comic books and the old X-Men cartoon. But come on. In order to KNOW if they're good or bad, you have to play them. "I heard the mechanics were good in Spider-Man." She didn't play it to know. Talks about developers should be allowed creative freedom. Well, Spider-Man has that. So does the Batman games. Not perfect but Wolverine was actually good last generation. Injustice, although having a Mortal Kombat fighting engine, is good. That's creative freedom of the DC characters. The Marvel Ultimate Alliance games are good.
Last thing, this person doesn't say "WHY" some super hero games suck. Mentions Superman 64. But probably never played it to know why it was badly designed. She seems to lean towards new IPs like Infamous. Which is fine. Unless it's because of First Light which has a girl as this person mentions Rogue in the X-Men movies and Kamala from Avengers.
Maybe she wants female characters. Who knows. I would have been fine with that as a reason. But there's no reason at all given. She doesn't know why. And she doesn't play them. So what's the point of the article?
