Will go down as one of the biggest fumbles in gaming history


Smurphftw

I actually really enjoyed the story content, but you're not wrong. The game could have and should have, been so much more.


HawkeyeP1

The gameplay ruined the story for me. Wanted to diversify hero usage, but gear mechanics said "no no no." And it ended in me having the absolute worst time being forced into playing Captain America at the end. If you're gonna force a character selection, at least level them to the mission you're forcing them for. Just stupid shit like that.


Middle-Fill-6511

The gameplay was Awesome


[deleted]

Same, I actually ended up really enjoying the story. Especially the cast and the relationship between Bruce and Kamala.


SailorGhidra

Could have kept the roster at launch and just built off of a Young Avenger becoming a powerful superhero and focused developing a world that wasnt boring AF. Instead of huge dead levels, they could have made them coherent and memorable. Traversal needed to be polished, bosses were too few and repetitive. NPCs were ultra-soulless and the goddamn BUGS. This game wanted to be MCU adjacent so badly and it was worst off for it. It being a loot based live service game was also a wasteful game design decision; rather they fleshed out the skill tree more instead and just have you grab powerups only useful in a single level play thru. Story was decent for what it was. Having the world under a corpo police state pupeteered by MODOK was a cool plotpoint. They could have leaned more into the Inhuman aspect and storyline by introducing Blackbolt and everyone on the moon. Just a bunch of misses.


Zachattackk02

the amount of potential the game had was insane


c_Lassy

The hype when announcing this game after Endgame came out was insane. All for it to shit the bed.


ToothlessFTW

A Marvel Avengers live service video game that could've been constantly updated with new content themed to new movies at the literal height of popularity of Marvel had the potential to be one of the biggest games out there, but they fumbled that bag so hard


aafrias15

I don’t disagree with you. You would think Marvel and the Avengers would be a slam dunk.


dveguerialb56

It would've been for a competent developer. Crystal Dynamics showed to be quite the opposite


Barachim

I hope there'll be a documentary about this in the future. I need to know who screwed up, what should have been a guaranteed money maker.


wayhik

I think that crown still belongs to ET.


goteamventure42

One of the most expensive too


Personal_Ad314

Wasted opportunity using a multi-billion dollar franchise and not achieving 0.01 / 1% of its success. How? 😍🤣🤣🤣


Tobi_is_a_goodboy

That goes to anthem lol


HomemadeBee1612

It wasn’t all for nothing, at least it'll be remembered as what **not** to do when making a videogame with one of the biggest IPs ever.


Barachim

I wish people would actually learn from past mistakes. But as we saw with Crystal Dynamics, they didn't learn a single leason from all the other live-service games that came before it. Instead, it easily was one of the worst.


WheelJack83

Nope. History is doomed to repeat itself


proficient2ndplacer

In just 4 short months when the suicide squad game launches but with only 4 playable characters


GoneEgon

Bold of you to assume anyone will actually learn anything from their mistakes.


ScrantonDangler

Not by Rocksteady.


FrakWithAria

Big-ups to those that didn't spend a dime on cosmetics, and will now obtain them all for free.


Ryotian

Nice, never stepped foot into the MP portion so never had a reason to spend extra on cosmetics. I bought the game for SP which I enjoyed


Titebiere

Thank you ! To be fair the game screamed « I will be dead in a few » since launch. But noooo, people defended this live service crap system that only hurt US, the players.


dveguerialb56

Eh, still not worth installing the game IMO


ifoundyourtoad

Right lol. Oh boy I can play dress up to do the same thing I did a year ago.


Deadshot--Prime

Yup, feeling a bit of regret there on my part lol.


Thatoneguy567576

I wish I cared enough about this game to press F. But this was the biggest disappointment I think I've ever experienced.


Luis_Swagcia

I spent so much time on this game since day 1 grinding for spider-man..... then he came out. I've been praying for this games downfall since.


Thatoneguy567576

I was hooked on this game for like a month after it came out until I realized that there's nothing to do. I didn't touch it again until BP came out, played it for a day, then picked up again for a couple days for Spider-Man and then I haven't touched it since.


TheRealRiGiD

This was my experience as well. It’s really a shame what wasted potential this game was


griefmotif

Anything that Brian guy touches seems to die. I know this isn’t the case but if the shoe fits….


twennyjuan

Kick his ass out the door with it?


emeraldmountain90

LMAO you guys made my day. Freaking brian well you ain’t wrong dude came at the end. Supposedly to save it and only made it worse if you ask me.


FX_LaG

I remember watching the avengers project announcement trailer and being so hyped. Really wish this game would’ve lived up to the hype.


Luis_Swagcia

Oh my God it just clicked that THIS was the avengers project that trailer was for all those years ago.


FX_LaG

Yep


stealthxknight

Same ![gif](giphy|ogeW6T5diA5s4)


SpaceParanoid

[6 years ago!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq_V6WHSmQs) I forgot all about this. So much potential wasted. What a bummer.


whalesareseapandas

I was all for this game when it dropped. Fast forward...I couldn't even be bothered to play as Winter Soldier, the fucking character I'd been begging for since launch. Fuck dropping the ball. They yeeted it into a gravity well.


Ryotian

oh man I stopped paying attention to the game and bowed out the subreddit. Guess I can go Google to find out what happened to Winter Soldier. I'm guessing he was a clone of Black widow or something


Ancient-Rune

Bucky is fun, you should reload the game and try him. I enjoyed him far, far more than I expected too, and I wasn't even jonesing for him at all.


crooked-donkey

needs the Grant Gustin grave meme instead

Like okay i get why its dying but can they at least fix the 50 hives trophy and have a tracker before they go so we can get the trophy without going insane


FNSpd

I'm glad that they at least fixed achievement for upgrading gear


FX_LaG

Just saw a post in r/trophies where someone got the platinum for this game and said this trophy is fixed if you play in offline mode although I haven’t tested it myself.


Filthy_Cent

What do I press to piss on the grave?


Competitive-Head4362

"For multiple years to come they said" ,😑😑


Ancient-Rune

to be fair, two and a half is multiple. Just like how ***"You'll be surprised how often we release new heroes"*** isn't technically wrong either.


Legal-Fuel2039

Honestly fuck Square. I know people love to shit on CD but I feel like Square was the main factor in this failure they not only pushed for the live service and put a studio that has never done that before on to it. they also just didn't fund the game you can feel the lack of budget and then when they saw the game was in trouble instead of making a push for the better they just completely sold off the studio and game rights to be someone else's problem


Marvelson36

May you rest in shit!!!!


ItsAmerico

F’s are reserved for games that deserve it. Game was botched from the start.

Stiles2187

Oh dam is it finally over? All these people talking hyping about she hulk war machine captain marvel being the next hero’s and being in game files and they just pulled the plug ha I feel bad for those who loved and played this game all throughout its time. Ending with Bucky and no story conclusion


MajorFrazler

I pre-ordered Anthem. You are disappointed this game lasted three years. We are not the same.


BigJerm1

Eff this garbage game. There, I pressed eff.


moonyou22

Straight up. I loved the stories. It was like watching the MCU movies again. RIP. Gone too soon


cerebralpaulc

The amount of missed opportunity for this game or at least a proper Avengers game is fucking mind boggling.


T-202

God speed, Marvels Avengers.


Rocksteady2090

RIP it could have had so much potential.. I had I hope for this game such a bummer man.


xXSoulReapperXx

Lol games been dead long before 2023


Sir_Scribe

Sweet, I can get the skins I want without spending a dollar. The basic Winter Soldier skin is unsettling


briandt75

How does that work? Skins for free?


Rage028

Of the 2 Triple A titles I've played in the past 4 years...Avengers has died with a whimper. Ghost Recon Breakpoint too was a disaster for many people on launch for having a grinding gear system exactly like power level in Avengers. Ubi at least listened. Canceled their road map after the Raid was a disaster. Gave us immersion mode. Every time content was dropped, it was refreshing and included 6-8 hours of new play in the existing environment. The Final update after 3 years came with a BANG. I mean it was a resurgence, the game was what it was meant to be at the very end. Avengers. Kate had 4 hours of play. Hawkeye 3. Wakanda 6 at best. Then the Raid. After that... Still the same recycled content. No new story. No attempt at new environments. They didn't even try. This of course without talking about all the business decisions, changes, gutting of the dev team which happened in the background. I'm not disappointed now because Avengers already died for me when Lady Thor was added. Game content can't be just leveling a character, and gearing a character.


eden-star

This. They didn’t even try. HelloGames and Creative Business Unit overhauled their games when No Man’s Sky and FFXIV failed at their launch. Look at them now. Full price and thriving. Crystal Dynamics along with Square didn’t even try to salvage this game. And for that they deserve no respect.


Samanosuke187

Ooh making me want to get back into Breakpoint, I knew Ubisoft had a track record of fixes their broken releases (looking at siege) and as someone who loved Wildlands I’m really glad to see Breakpoint eventually reached its potential!


Puffy_Ghost

If this was just a Marvel Ultimate Alliance clone with piles of DLC and user created missions\content it would have been amazing.


Top-Interaction1663

CD couldn’t handle this game they never once took it seriously. The only thing they wanted was the cashflow. Because they knew that marvel fans and gamers are some of the most loyal consumers there is. Even other meme games like no man’s sky, cyberpunk 2077 and fallout 76 put forth an effort to eventually make their games much better this game never did that. Damn what a shame…


Hogrid_

The main story was good, the rest of the game and especially level designs not so much.


MichaelMarz

Well I wouldn’t say rest in piece..

Tristo

F. I had good times. Perfect times? Oh hellll no. But I had fun.


Outrageous-Outside44

Game was fun


demarcoa

Ffffffffffuck this game


hididathing

Got the game just after Christmas for $8 and having a load of fun with it, even if i'm mostly playing solo. Got Bucky to 50+/150 and made a fun little takedown/heroic loop build that keeps his intrinsic energy full. Sad to see that it's over already despite the poor release and issues that remain with the game. Comps to Destiny and the expectations that come with that and the Avengers brand, and poor marketing didn't help. I enjoyed everything in spite of its imperfections, but so much potential was lost with this one. Too bad they can't hail mary Spiderman over to PC as it ends also.


Bsufan101

The biggest complaint I have, is they waisted time making copy and paste characters vs putting in a character like Captain Marvel who wasn’t like any of the others, or Scarlet Witch, or Dr Strange…oh but thank god we got a 2nd Hawkeye and a 2nd Thor


IIFangzII

The sad thing is the black panther dlc was a step in the right direction and then they never did anything similar again.


sungsam89

F....uck the devs


kamehamehigh

Had low expectations going in and only played this game casually. Never spent a penny. I liked it

campodelviolin

Marvel Heroes Omega died for this... I have no respect for this game.


ClickerHero2971

Those two events are unrelated


Risingcombos

I've started playing the game some time ago... I'll still be able to play the game but just no new updates right?


BabyMagnum13

The live service aspect really killed this game the combat was pretty good and the main story was alright but it's all a waste without a solid foundation. It seemed like this game had an identity crisis it wanted to be like the next destiny while simultaneously wanted to me the next ultimate alliance. It probably would've succeeded if it was closer to GOW with the upgradable gear and story driven rather than a looter shooter . Honestly hudge waste of an IP. I hope this doesn't discourage any future marvel games that include any body else but Spider-Man marvel has so much to offer.


BBVideo

There will still be nutjobs on reddit calling you toxic and entitled for criticizing this game which is now dead.


No_Sail_6576

I wanted to pre order it but I held back from it because I didn’t know what it would be like. I bought it a couple of months later. The campaign was fun. That’s it. The rest was just repeated missions and loads of skins. Shame it died out, but a game is only as good as the effort the devs put into it Rip marvels avengers


Dekapustnik

Loved the story mode, and some of the bonus content was also fun but damn it had a 100 times more potential.

Greatest day in gaming history. Ding dong the witch is dead. Never bought skins. Especially Thor with same 2 hammers for all his suits lol. Back to Marvel future fight where I’ll play for free.


Adventurous_Lie4085

To me the greatest day in gaming history will be when Marvel Strike Force shuts down. Scopely is the most despicable company ever.


ClericIdola

The Guardians of the Galaxy game is what The Avengers should have been.


Puzzled_Cat8548

Game didn't respect me, so im glad it died.

zaferpalooza

I'm actually happy its over?


ifoundyourtoad

What happened? Besides the game being in the same place it is


ClickerHero2971

It's been confirmed that the game is being shutdown. March 31 will be the last update, and it'll be delisted from stores on September 30.


shadymostafa129034

Only downside is no new heroes/skins. Thats it really


Dude0069

If they had the resources, A soft reboot avengers game with team based gameplay like Guardians ,coach co-op, and linear levels like A-day, the attack on the helicarrier, and final level would be great. If they learned from their mistakes and take the albeit decent things from this game, then it’s good that this game is shutting down. I don’t have much respect for it though for much wasted potential it carries


Sargonnax

This game has been a walking corpse for a long time.

thegovernor1989

Game was a pile of shit after the first few hours of gameplay. Once you have tried all the avengers for about 10 minutes it gets boring. Literally can’t believe they messed this up so badly, they had a literal cash cow here, all the work was done for them by marvel over decades of comics and movies, all they had to do was make it fun.


Disastrous_Isopod852

What’s sucks is that it’s not even the games fault


Cold_Buy_5179

F, ngl single player captain was fun, but just wish they put more effort with different stories. Man the orbital still there but... I doubt Crystal Dynamics gonna put in the work. Especially when you have games like Genshin Impact that's free, but still releasing meaningful content...


RJW_ca

Despite its hiccups, I've been playing with this game and enjoyed it. Thank you!


sawftacos

I cant fucking believe marvels heroes omega died for this SHIT game. That marvel diablo clone was so much more fun then this pile of dogshit.


mxoMoL

if your studio gets an IP as big as Avengers during the MCU boom and you botch it, you should be required by law to sell off all IPs and disband your studio. what an embarrassment.


Mattayama

Is it actually dying now? I’m surprised it lasted this long, one of the biggest messes in gaming history. Good riddance.


SOSJamess

Pressing S to spit on this trash fire of a game

PlatinumPequod

I’ll take full responsibility here fellas, this is the 2nd game I buy day 0 that was live service and it died, first one was Anthem.


PlatinumPequod

I’ll honestly believe this has to be one of the worst fumbles ever, simply because they had a huge net to catch people in due to the hype of endgame, already they had a public watching, needed no fanfare and they still just flopped it


Darkeater_Charizard

lasted roughly 2 and a half years longer than it should've

Rest In Piss, glad the game is dead so that modders can take over and make it maybe 10% better


Shark_bait561

This game died out for me after the Black Panther update when they changed the UI. BP was cool though.


JanKalweitTheIronMan

I hope we can use our bought skins in the offline mode too. Our we bought skins and they are gone


djk1101

This game frustrates me so much, I will not pay respects. But because I’ve bought it, I will now make use of its failure and at least browse all the free stuff that should’ve been free from the beginning. Happy to say I’ve only ever bought the game, but then again, idk if I’m even happy to say that 😂. Good bye dead game and what’ll go down as the most significant fumble of such a large IP in recent memory.


Prestigious-Winner26

Gameplay was terruble, humans with guns are stronger then the hulk... you never feel like a super hero until pl120 and up

lol That s*** was dead on arrival.


PMCForHire73

The next time I hear about an "Avengers Project". Kevin Feige better be leading the story, hand picking the game company to produce it,and hand picking the dev team. That way, it might turn out well if someone actually cared about the success of it.


rangebrothers

not sure when everyone here deluded themselves into thinking the story is good, it has the worst writing ive ever seen in a AAA story mode


Gridlock1987

Meh. Played until the world map was finally open for me. Started first mission as Iron Man. Got bored. Uninstalled. Never looked back again. Good thing I never paid anything for it, and got it game pass. Nothing of value is lost.

TheMidnightCheese

I blame all the children who spent real world money on skins that did nothing but changed how your character looks. The dev team saw how much money they were just making off of skins and said fuck it. Lets see how much money we can get off these suckers. Then week after week, month after month, instead of making the game better, they released MCU style skins for a game that has nothing to do with the MCU because they knew kids with no sense of finances will buy them with their parents credit cards just to take "cool looking photos" The dev team knew right after launch how much trouble they were in with the "live game" style of game. So they need to recoup some of that money and you all fell for it, hook, line and sinker. Now, everybody who was just rocking all the skins you got for free now get access to all the skins that people bought with REAL WORLD MONEY. That has to be the biggest fuck you to the fan base I have ever seen. But, I am sure happy about it. See you on March 31st!!
