I don’t know how I feel about that gameplay reveal today. I generally don’t like random deal card games. It’s firaxis though and I have to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’ll buy it for sure but that reveal was underwhelming. I don’t see why they waited to show that.

ZeekQuattro1014d ago

Yeah that gameplay left a lot to be desired. Enough to give me pause.

LOGICWINS1014d ago

I'd like to see them show some verticality. Iron Man and Captain Marvel can fly. How does that factor into the gameplay? Also, is there a cover system? Do different types of terrain offer certain advantages in combat?

So many questions that need to be answered, but I like how the camera gets up close to your character when they do a super move. I'm still looking forward to buying it, but I need to see how "in-depth" of an RPG this really is.

sourOG1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

Yeah I think you nailed my confusion lol. It left more questions than answers for sure. It was heavily edited and only showed a few seconds at a time. It looked good sometimes though.

I get that it’s just a summary but I would much rather a dev showing off a working build than some screen actors guild narrative with IGN breaks. Marketing gonna market I guess.

Edit: from what I understood your moves will be randomly dealt to you based on the deck you have built? Am I getting that wrong? If so that sucks lol. I like building with purpose. In firaxis games you have to.

LOGICWINS1014d ago

@sourOG If the moves are randomized, I'll be really concerned. I doubt this is the case though. I want to see how an entire battle unfolds from beginning to end.

CorndogBurglar1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

I could see flying being used as a way to travel across more blocks on the map/grid. And maybe something like allowing the character to hover in the air for a turn which makes them only able to take damage from ranged attacks. Something like that maybe?

King_Noctis1014d ago

So why do you even need MT at all in a premium $60 game?

PhillyDillyDee1013d ago

Because some money isnt all the money. Its capitalism 101.

YourMommySpoils1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

Devs can keep their game and cosmetics and shove it where it belongs.

lellkay1014d ago

Are we still using the "Cosmetic Only" excuse.

No buy.

senorfartcushion1014d ago

I’ll not be buying it with you ✊

staticall1014d ago

Why? Isn't this a single-player game? Haven't seen anything regarding PVP or coop yet. And i can't find any information on their official website (which is bare-bones, by the way, but they already offer you a skin for signing up to a 2k promo newsletter).
Also, it's still in development and will be release in next 6 months, yet they already implemented microtransactions, this clearly shows you their priority.
From the gameplay reveal, it looks like they'll probably sell you card packs later or something. Not to mention, it looks like toned down XCOM (which already wasn't that hardcode in the first place).

Personally, i was hoping they do something similar to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. But i guess another tactical card game was a more profitable choice for them.

Lego games are always fun... and that is one I had not played before.

isarai91d ago

It's always the ine they leave out if the headline that interests me most 😅 DBZ Kakarot, been waiting for this to pop up on plus

Kyizen90d ago

I completely missed that DBZ Kakarot was in the group, I have midnight sons and RE3 so was kinda disappointed.

StormSnooper90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

Yea, it’s my last chance to play my childhood, now that he is gone. I’m watching way too many good anime at the moment to rewatch the series but this is the perfect excuse to visit that universe.

jznrpg91d ago

Never played Midnight Suns and probably won’t anytime soon but maybe someday. Pretty good month not great not horrible. I used to love sports games when I was a kid but that was before the monetization they went through and now I avoid them.

phoenixwing90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

Not all sports games are like that but ea and 2k games are definitely

DarXyde90d ago

Definitely give Midnight Suns a download if you've got Plus.

It's great.

phoenixwing80d ago

I agree midnight sun's is fun

Eonjay91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Heard a lot of good things about Midnight Suns! Also looking forward to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and will probably download 2K24 as well.

LucasRuinedChildhood91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Not a great month for me. Will give Midnight Suns a go.

I've never played Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier. Might give it a go although it's supposed to just be okay.

Never played a Phoenix Wright game before, so might try Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.

SonyStyled90d ago

The Lost Frontier isn’t a true Jak and Daxter game. If you haven’t played them before I’d highly advise skipping The Lost Frontier and spending your time on the trilogy. The real Jak games are developed by Naughty Dog

LucasRuinedChildhood90d ago

I'm a big Jak & Daxter fan. Just not that into portables so I never picked this one up (didn't know there was a PS2 port when I was younger).
