Game feels really dull

[michael199310]

I'm glad I had the chance to try this out during the free week, as the game went from "looks interesting, waiting for a sale" to "what a boring mess, get out of my wishlist".

First impressions are important and with this game, they are all bad. Too much dialogue, combat doesn't feel very exciting, plot is subpar, every character tries to crack jokes. Optimization doesn't exists and the whole experience felt more like playing a mobile game port than a AAA 70$ game with a DLC packs priced almost as high the base game. And the fact that you can buy currency with real money for a single player game just to get some costumes... This is new low. No wonder Jake left the company.

Add to that the fact that they could make XCOM 3 instead of this hot garbage.

And there it is. This, plus your profile pic shows you are upset they made Midnight Suns instead of XCOM 3. Appears you are looking for any excuse to bash the game in hopes they stop putting resources into the Marvel IP and make XCOM great again.

I have liked XCOM since Terror from the Deep. But this Marvel game, even with its flaws, is a diamond in the rough. There are so many places to expand the gameplay - Xavier's Mansion, The Baxter Building, Skrull Home World, the sky's the limit. With some adjustments to fix the flaws I look forward to many more titles in the series.

- To much Dialoge: Yes, there is some truth behind this

- Plot is subpar: i only played Mission1 so far, but are not pumped to start Mission 2 right away. You got you first Mission Victory!... But on the paper. You feel it as defeded, because you came back empty handed. Good start!.... Not! "hey i am the Hero, lets save them!" *Buzzersound* "Nope you dare to be a Hero!. Not on my First Mission 1 Book"

- Optimazion: Well, until now it runs okay on my Maschine. but i tried directly avoiding the 2K Launcher and got me DLSS 3.1.1.

- Play like a Mobile game: Well, the Camera is locked. No Zoom out or Zoom in. Nope is locked over your shoulder in the "Open World Abby". Got Stuck with no "ESC - Back" function when i found the Gadarobe in my Room.. Do the game really expect me to spend the Blue Coins without going back "ESC"?? Bummer

- Game Logs: 6MB+ Log for what? They should remove Logs on the game. It's only pollute the Drive Space. What happen if the Disk get full because of this with "out of memory" Error? Game Crash?

Well, Story telling is not having a good start here, and these Arrogance talking of the Heroes do the rest.

The combat is super fun. I also enjoyed grinding to make the best modded decks. The story, characters, and overall writing though...no bueno.

Couldn't get through more than an hour or so before I wanted to fall asleep. This combat system should be left where it belongs. On mobile devices. I don't even play xcom so try and rationalize that

I never considered buying the game at all until I actually played it. I will be getting the Legendary Edition soon

[lobstermadness]

I really wanted to like Midnight Suns but tbh I would rather be playing XCOM3 with no cards in the combat. Cards limit gameplay rather than enhance it.

[Nemerlight]

Loved Xcom 2 but yea this game is just boring. I had more fun playing Marvel Snap and thats free

Yep, I had high hopes for a game coming from the devs of two of my favourite games of all time. Plus I played a lot of Civ 5. Plus I am a Marvel maniac and comic books in general.

So please do tell me, how having absolutely 100% of components to make the perfect game for someone, who is their target audience, they made this overpriced garbage?

Played the free trial. The endless dialog dulled my interest. The normal difficulty combat was too easy for me.

Might start really enjoying the combat later in the game. Not sure I want to wade through endless cruft to get to that point.

[StarlessAeon]

Yeah played the free trial and was not impressed at all. Extremely basic gameplay and embarrassingly simple, this could have been a mobile game. Was going to go all in and buy the deluxe edition, but this is a hard pass from me after the free weekend.

I'm a Marvel maniac and love comic books too and this game has been an awesome trip for me. I've already got over 60 hours in it and looking to spend 60 more at least.

I get that it might not be up to your subjective tastes but no game will ever be able to please everyone. Perfect games do not exist either outside the human imagination. We can't even create a perfect object in real life, everything we do will have flaws.

[Cutter]

I concur with the OP. Game is weak, weak sauce. Beyond the terrible fanfic quality writing, woke crap, useless and boring filler and busy work the gameplay is awful. Same tiny maps fighting the same foes over and over. I was bored out of my skull by my third mission. I don't know how anyone could even conceivably compare this to XCom. Won't ever buy this. It's off my radar for good.

None of this changes the fact that' its a mobile game being passed off as a pc game for 60 bucks.

Im enjoying , the free weekend sold me and I purchased with the discount, I wouldnt purchase for full price, I dont get that mobile feeling game at all thats mentioned, I enjoy all the conversations but Im a pretty big Marvel and comic book fan, do I prefer a xcom type style, probably but Im having fun with the game.

[undeadpriest94]

I personally find the combat to be pretty damn good. However, I do dislike how dominating the Abby stuff is, especially with how important they are for strengthening your character yet giving the worse tonal whiplash I've ever had from a game. And while the combat is good, it does get annoying when the majority of the fights pertain to Hydra goons, and I do find the lack of map scale and destructible environment rather underwhelming for a game playing the Mightiest Heroes in Marvel comics.

I'd love to see this system in a more serious and aggressive game, perhaps in a game focused on playing the villains and conquering the world.
