Marvel's Avengers For Xbox Series X Officially Arrives This March

When's free-to-play?

Too little to late in my opinion now

Yeah... how about no... To a game that was over hyped...

I'll play it when its on GamePass

"Future Imperfect" is right. If they want to have any hopes of this game having any success on Series, they need to make this Free-to-Play or at least launch it on Game Pass.

If this drops into gamepass I'll definitely check it out. If it doesn't i definitely won't.

Needs to go F2P or Game Pass/PS+.
The userbase is dead and the content poor.
Should be cashing in on the hype for Wanda and Vision right now.
And then Winter Soldier and Falcon.
Instead we get 2 archers that nobody overly cares about compared to the bigger heroes.

@blinx01 okay whoa hold up. I agree with half of what you said but

First off the Disney Plus TV Hawkeye got delayed; so this content most likely would have hit at the same time.

Second some of us (who actually read comics) can’t stand the Wanda/vision drama lama because we know where it ends and trust me that storyline was awful. Some of us actually want to see Fraction/Aja Hawkeye which is what this is based on. You know because comic readers are a thing. And quite frankly since the characters don’t actually look like their movie counterparts maybe infusing some of the comic book might help.

Incidentally, Hawkeye, the movie version, isn’t really Hawkeye. This actually looks like they got Hawkeye right. Hello Pizza dog

@mousieone Are you really that confident the Wanda-Vision TV show will match the comic storyline? They seem to take great liberties adapting the comic stories to TV and cinema.

Until this is f2p the only Avengers game I will play is Captain America and the Avengers on SNES. Tough but awesome old school beat em up.

This one never looked interesting, and the Spider-Man thing (though obviously not Crystal Dynamics fault) was irritating. They should have just made a story epic with more focus on combat and narrative. Then move on to a new project.

@Zochmenos maybe, maybe not shrugs but I’m burnt by it already. Look it’s pretty obvious they are going for a Young Avengers storyline; they’ll need the twins.

@mousieone So you don't really mean the "storyline" will be the same, just that it will take cues from the obvious arcs. In that respect, whatever arc they take from will be changed for better and for worse. That's just how comics get adapted to other mediums.

@Zochmenos umm I don’t have an inherent issue with adaptations, which is what you seem to be getting from this. Its the source material used in the first place. If the foundation is the same; you can only go so far.

But no I treat the adaptions as their own thing. But I’m not fond of them together in the comics, and none of the movies did anything to improve said impression.

@mousieone No, I mean the opposite. There's no quality to be assumed from the source(ish) material since it will be so heavily adapted. My original question was because I was surprised at your reaction as it seemed to ignore just how much Disney had changed for their other storylines.

@Zochmenos sighs a duck is still a duck; even if it is a different species of duck.

@mousieone Nah, that's a bad take. Even in comics the best stories are often adapted from earlier or less fleshed versions (especially if you don't stop when you become an adult).

@Zochmenos it’s not a good or bad take. It’s my opinion and that’s that. Sorry but that’s the issue you don’t like my opinion.

Edit: Incidentally, “take” is an overused buzz word.

@mousieone I mean, conversations are full of opinions, so it doesn't bother me at all to disagree. I was just wondering if you had a rational for your earlier statements. If not, that's cool, but that's what I've been asking about, nothing more or less than that. But...it's all good.
Comics are fun.

@Zochmenos my point is that if they used only an inkling of the original storyline; it’s still too dramatic. Marvel isn’t good at writing relationships no matter what the medium. Perfect example is Nat/Bruce.

Anyway I think I’ve said my part on this.

@mousieone That's a fair enough point; however, I think the chances of them successfully "cleaning up" a bad storyline are probably better than attempting to land the same emotional blows as the best the comics have to offer. It's obviously a difficult comp as comics have a much longer format and frequently ignore or retcon whatever gets in the way of telling the story.
