Marvel's Avengers Sparks Rage As Paid XP Boosts Are Added To The Game

Lol these guys sure know how to piss people off eh? Luckily the GTA trilogy cash grab will spread a bit of the hatred around.

Square is blatenly just showing players they are inconvenient meat puppets interfering with their march towards their wallets.

They just got some positivity going the game being on game pass… way to go square XD

Good thing I never had any intention on playing past single player stories.

@InterceptorAlpha Same... same...

What's going on with these gaming companies 🤦 First you got Back 4 Blood cutting the wings off single player, now Square is whipping out their tiny dicks and urinating in everyone coffee.

I just can't believe it. At the VERY SECOND they get a new batch of players for their until-that-deserted-game, they go all out and try to milk a maximum of cash out of it.

It's just unbeliveable.

I understand that they want this game to make them profit outside of the retail price itself, in order to make the game live and all, but that's the absurdity of the "game as a service" model.

You can't just do those "free-to-play"sort of things with a game that is not, well, free to play.

And an admission in the gamepass programm does not make it free to play.

It's a shame, cause at its core, Avengers is a solid game, in my opinion. For twenty of thirty hours. But Square, please, don't try so desperatly to steal our money, geez. At this point, you just embarass yourself.

I don't know what to choose, between that and the "Kingdom-Hearts-Saga-on-Switch-but-only-on-cloud" for the worst Square Enix decision of this week. And I'm saying that as a fan of their games.

But come on, guys.

Wow. Why shoot it again when it's already dead? I don't get it. I mean, sure, it twitched a few times in the past week, but you don't need to try to kill it again.

I had just downloaded this game because of Game Pass but now I will delete it before even launching it.

Moves like this are excellent reminders that executives are the greediest people on Earth. Any rational person could have guessed that this was a dumb idea, but they saw player counts increase and their hubris convinced them it would go over okay. I hope they aren't rewarded for their stupidity and greed.

...psuedo narrative dissonance. Why the fcuk does the Hulk, THE HULK, need gear?!??..
Back to your regularly scheduled comments

@PhhhCough everyone needs to spice things up in the bedroom here n there....

I heard this game sucks.

There was a reason they wanted it on gamepass, and here it is....

@UltimateOtaku91 So people would remember it existed when it became a meme?

Give Me Deus Ex

It's pretty simple people if you don't like it then don't buy them.

I can understand the frustration, but the game is PvE, so maybe newbies due to Game Pass are jumping in now, and the option is there, if they are happy to pay, to skip ahead levels easier.

If this was PvP game with pay to win elements, then fair enough.
Bare in mind lots of other single player games these days offer these boosters such as Valhalla and recently Tales of Arise.

Seems like not a huge deal. The game is PVE only, right?

Square have really been shooting themselves in the foot lately, first the FINAL FANTASY Pixel Remasters NOT coming to consoles then releasing Kingdom Hearts on Switch as a Cloud only release and now this and while it's not a big issue in what they do as the game is PVE only so it's not "pay to win" as many are saying, the issue is that they specifically said they WOULDN'T do this but they have so they have broken their word

Now i LOVE many Square Enix games and franchises but quite frankly right now it's being run by a bunch of morons

I actually find myself hoping that Sony, Nintendo or MS will buy them out and put them back on track because right now they seem to be heading the way of Konami

Sorry that I can't validate the overall concensus here, but I feel like this outrage is a bit silly, and oftentimes coming from people who most likely haven't even played the game. Picked up the disc version super cheap, enjoyed the solid campaign (and a bit further than that) and have never once felt halted in my progress or game enjoyment by scummy monetization schemes. Anybody who pays for these sorts of extras (in any game) is a tool by definition. And the argument "this shouldn't be in a full price game" is right, but if nobody makes use of microtransactions SE will also get the message.

i actually bought this game and this inclusion has me deleteing the game now...i refuse to play any games that pay2win and thats all paid xp boosts are in the end...its a scummy thing to do and ill be honest im running out of studios ill buy games from at full price...EA, UBIsoft, activision, now square!!!! so essentially ill be playing apex legends and titanfall 2 till they get their ***** together and make titanfall 3

The greed shows. This never occured until they saw the increase in #s thanks to gamepass. I won't be playing this ever again.
