I enjoyed the single player campaign, It was a good time. I had no desire to play the online part.

Spenok681d ago

More or less this.

For the price it's currently at? Yes, definitely worth playing through the story.

philm87681d ago

I agree. I've only played the single player and I had a great time. It's an interesting story and cool to switch between characters throughout. Looks amazing on PS5.
If it was released as just a single player campaign I think there would've been a lot more positivity around it.

ClayRules2012681d ago

No. In my personal opinion you’re better off buying Guardians of the Galaxy (which is a bit repetitive, but nowhere near as bad as Avengers, and Guardians had a real charge to it, from beginning to end, which flowed into the gameplay, with the Guardians communicating with one another, with the in-game dialogue being new, fresh and funny as you progress through the story and enemy encounters.

So, if you have time to spare and money to put towards anything, I suggest putting it towards Guardians. It’s a fantastic game overall, with great laugh out loud moments, emotional moments, shocking moments, cool gameplay segments, unexpected moments you won’t believe (I didn’t believe it, anyways lol) and honestly one of the best games I’ve played in a long time! Truly, the in game dialogue as the Guardians walk around is as good and top notch as ND’s Uncharted and Last of Us series! It feels and flows that well!

Game was designed for micro transactions instead of being designed to be the best experience it could have been. So, nah.

pietro1212681d ago

I enjoyed the single player campaign, but the multiplayer was weak . I say it’s worth $10 bucks to play through the story once at least, but the game offers very little in good content.

Jane foster for me is a huge reason not to play avengers in 2022 the only superhero that could had save the game is wolverine

I’m so ready for Suicide Squad to fill the Avengers void in my life

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.

I can’t work out if this guy is just being sarcastic

Leeroyw107d ago

This website pumps out one shill article after the other. Does not qualify as journalism.

ShwaaMan107d ago

Said the guy who just got a big check from WB.

YourMommySpoils107d ago

Does that mean it will have a thousand pointless costumes like Avengers did, not related to the game or source?

coolbeans107d ago

"Guy who's excited for Suicide Squad to fill the void left by The Avengers' closure."

Traecy107d ago

I'll be checking it out on day one of release.

Why Have Many of the Online Multiplayer Games of the Past Five Years Failed?

Here's a look at why so many online-multiplayer games from the past five years have struggled to retain players and their attention.

ChasterMies210d ago

Or put another way, why don’t people want to invest in an on-line storefront?

sparky77210d ago

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.

Number1TailzFan209d ago (Edited 209d ago )

COD is replaced every year or almost every year, it has no time to hold a player base. 3-4 years is a good timeline for a sequel IMO if the game has enough content to begin with, maybe add a couple of free content updates a bit later after release if needed, and job done until the next game.

Soldier of Fortune 2 was one of my first few online FPS games apart from RTCW and a couple of others, and that had a couple of free patches which added in new weapons, maps and a new game mode in just a year or so. I hope the series makes a comeback, I heard MS owns it now and it has been dormant for a while.

The only sequel that came fast (just 1 year later) that impressed me with extra content over the original was L4D2, makes me wonder what happened with Valve. If they can do that in one year then what have they been doing since..

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.

Nitrowolf2209d ago

i agree. i used to love MP games for these titles, and be excited about the map packs and such. now it's we will release one mode and one map, and see how people take to the game. Flops? cool move on.

isarai209d ago

Even before the PS3 generation ended, I was already longing for a return to simplistic MP without all the XP, booster, perks, and ridiculous custom loadouts full of op exploitation. Like there's definitely a huge audience for that, but there's NO classic style simple MP modes anymore, I'm just asking for some

ZeekQuattro209d ago

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.

excaliburps209d ago

Yep. I know what you mean. I can't play more than 1-2 live service games at a time (this includes shooters) since it's just so overwhelming.

shinoff2183209d ago (Edited 209d ago )

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
