- Out of place loot and leveling system
Da fuq? How is loot and a leveling system "out of place" in a looter shooter RPG? Saying "its out of place for Marvel heroes" is a cop out. Would baseball be "out of place" in a Marvel Avengers Baseball game?
The Verdict: 5
The Good
- Jaw-dropping production values and spectacle
- Enjoyable campaign
- The brawling is satisfying
The Bad
- Egregious monetization "live service" rabbit hole
- Questionable character design choices
- Kahn's endless blathering of skin-crawling one-liners
- Pointless quick-time-events and all characters play too closely alike
- Out of place loot and leveling system
There are only 6 characters atm, all future characters will be 100% FREE. Character Cards, for future characters, will be $10(1000 credits) each and when you complete enough daily and weekly challenges to unlock it all you end up with several skins and 1300 credits.
The 6 starting heroes character cards are free and after completing them all you will have earned 7800 credits.
Some Skins can be earned through the single player story, through vendors, and through character cards. A select few skins can only be bought, no loot boxes, for credits.
22 days aint bad considering you're playing the game to get free stuff.
No hard sell on MTX would be, the game not constantly reminding you to buy coins/gems/whatever and cosmetics being purely cosmetic. You may not be able to earn enough coins to BUY every skin but you can unlock them in other ways. It will take about 22 days to fully unlock the character cards, which have free emotes/skins/nameplates/and ect.
The skins do nothing but look cool, some of them do anyways. People will bitch and moan that they should get ALL the skins for free despite the game literally giving you all future DLC for free! I've seen people say they are ok with "cosmetic only MTX" then they bitch and moan when they get it.
There also may be other ways to earn credits that have yet to be introduced into the game.
My understanding is the articles were accepted, set to be published, but never published so the person did work that he wasn't paid for but their defense is"we didn't publish it" which is sketch but not illegal. Imagine if you asked to wash my car for $10 and I agreed because I was taking it to a car show, then you washed my car but I didn't pay you because the car show was cancelled.
No worries mate, there is a former writer saying he wasn't paid for accepted pieces. https://twitter.com/ThatFuzzyTiger/status/1287452241041985536
AFAIK he is someone who contributed to the crowdfunding and was upset when Jeremy deleted the site/forums/discord. The website is using a different logo and is on a Dot Net they bought. This is the extent of my knowledge on the issue, I'm on a short break from journalism ATM.
