storm DLC when ?

[Karanshade]

All in the title , the current rythms seems to assume on the last week of each month , so ...23rd of April ?

I'm waiting all the DLCs (+ a week to get the most breaking bugs out) to make a new run

Did they drop a date for Morbius before they released him? I remember a lot of people surprised by him dropping without a trailer ahead of him, but couldn't remember if they even gave a date in the first place.

they did not. they dropped him and released his trailer all at once with no date announced ahead of time.

ok so it could basically happen anyday now without warning from what I gather.

I hope that they add more content to the game, but right now I half expect them to not even bother adding Storm. How we got here I cover below, but I think they'll continue to get sales for a long time, thus expanding the player base who'll pay for DLC's, so they'd be foolish to shelve it.

This game got unjustly dumped on by action junkies (mostly men) who couldn't stand having to spend more than 5 away from the action, or for that matter a lot of them who reacted to the representation (many probably without even realising that they're racist and/or sexist). I think this should be a huge hit with, amongst many others, female players, but game companies are still so sexist that it hurts (us mainly, but also them). I doubt any real thought was (or ever is) put into marketing games to women where more than a few of the customers are expected to be men. And of course if you don't expand the female player base that will never change, but none of them are looking long term, just next quarter :(

Most likely tomorrow or Thursday.

Unless Firaxis fails as a company we'll get Storm. At game launch she was already mapped out and playtested physically, I'm sure the only thing they're looking at now is a round of bug polish.

On the question of Storm, I feel they're more obligated to provide, as it was promised they will provide Storm. That and the last-gen ports, which they better provide.

As for your second topic, did you seriously need to turn this into a gender thing? Like, this is more insane than when that one guy got offended by Morbius asking if a black Hunter can tan; at least THAT is a case of not considering if certain things would come off offensive in certain situations. This? This feels like you're reaching.

While I personally find the combat good and the Abbey having potential (just not done well), I feel the idea of people wanting more action in their superhero games is actually very reasonable. After all, superheroes are all about real-time action and people want to feel like said superheroes in their games. This is why the Spider-Man games always wins people over as you enjoy swinging around on webs, and why the Arkham series succeeded as people love being Batman with all the martial arts, gadgets and investigation skills. For me, for as well made as this game is, it really doesn't need to be a Marvel game, and the IP I feel just put a limit in their story telling and profit.

Does anyone know If Storm can be a playable character mid game or do I need to start a new game?

You will not need to start a new game to use Storm. The other DLC characters were all able to be picked up mid game or even in the postgame, so Storm should be the same.

All the other DLC characters had to have a new game, at least for me.

Seems like a buggy save. I have a save from just before last missions and all dlc characters unlock on DLC launch. The achievements are bugged though with no way to fix.

You'll have to start a new game if you want achievements for the DLC characters. Lazy, inept devs don't know how to make achievements unlock on an existing save.

You certainly do not, I've gotten achievements for all the DLC character's so far, and just got one of Venom's a few minutes ago, and I'm still 70-80% through my first playthrough that started at release.

You're on your original save - people were on NG+ when DLC was released can't use that save to unlock DLC achievements. It's such a widely known issue I didn't expect to have to explain it to anyone here. Even the devs know it's a problem for anyone who isn't on their original save or a new save. They are the ones who tell people to go back to an original save or start a new save.

[Peerless Girl]

I took 5 minutes to figure out NG+ was a poor idea, and decided not to do it, it's such a widely known fact I didn't expect to have to explain it to you. Get off your high horse before someone knocks you off it. You might break your neck.

TLDR for those inclined not to read: "Sucks to be them".
