Im so tired of marvel holy fuck

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm still quite enjoying Marvel. I just got Guardians of the Galaxy game on Steam Sale (Eidos) for $18 and it's an absolute joy. Great characters, great story, great mechanics, beautiful, no BS.

Spider-Man was also great fun.

I'm tired of Marvel and EA. As far as I'm concerned, they can both fuck off.

Him honestly I thought EA has been delivered fairly high quality games over the last year or 2. Feel like they’ve really turned their reputation around minus their sports games

Yeah but they're all a microtransaction infested hellscape...

See: Literally any EA sports game. The new Battlefront as well. Yes I'm still bitter Disney fucked up such a good series.

Ugh, Disney gave EA the exclusive rights to make Star Wars games like 10 years ago and we've gotten what, 3 original games out of them? Plus two sequels?

Absolutely pathetic and such wasted opportunity.

Unironically, they could have just brought back the OG Battlefront and I (and likely thousands of others) would have jumped at it. But apparently simplicity is asking too much of mega-corporations now.

They no longer have exclusive rights thank god. It was too little too late tbh because the starfighter game they made was dope and both Jedi games were good too. They really blew it lol.

Yes but I did say minus EA sports. Actually EA and EA sports are sort of separating in the near future which will be interesting.

Totally agree Disney botched Star Wars (and continues to) and BF2, especially at launch what a complete and utter disaster. Other than that tho we see It Takes Two, Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor, Apex/Titanfall, Dead Space remake, and Mass Effect remasters.

They are kind of on a roll here recently not counting 2042 which they are desperately trying to fix, they’ve constantly released banger after banger. Not too upset about the new EA.

Sure. But I am still bitter :/ In any case, I haven't really touched any EA games as a result of the PTSD from their shit era, so...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well as someone who is intensely bitter at Disney and Star Wars and has hated everything they’ve made except Rouge One I will say that the Jedi games are “good”. They are worth the effort. Not a single micro transaction in the game, entirely single player. Good stuff.

I'll check those out then! Thanks for the heads up!

There are lots of other games that have nothing to do with Marvel. Spiderman and GotG have had some excellent games, but if that's not your thing, play something else.

EA is making a

Yeah I'm out, thanks

I really enjoyed the Jedi games, so I’m cautiously optimistic about this.
