So I tried playing MARVEL AVENGERS In 2024... 

For what it’s worth, playing as each character is very fun, they play very differently from each other. It was the repetitive missions, the chaos of not knowing what’s happening on-screen when there are four players, and lackluster rewards that killed this game

Marvels avengers walked down the stairs so the suicide squad could fall down them.

Marvels avengers had such potential I'm actually upset it didn't work out

Me looking at Avengers after Suicide Squad KTJL: "Perhaps I treated you too harshly"

This game’s debut bombed so hard it even scared away a fair amount of people from the (pretty good imo) Guardians of the Galaxy game

I used to play this game at every given moment. Whenever I got home from work, before work… at work (jk.) no but this game was such a happy point in my life even if it did poorly. I stuck around for it all, since day one to the day the Devs said we’re done here. Thanks to this video, I’m going to redownload the game and go back to my happy place. “Seriously, you’re the best.”

I soooo badly wanted Marvel Avengers to succeed because it hit every itch I wanted in a Marvel game. It didn't just have maps where it felt like a wasteland, there were maps that were in the city and maps where sure there was wastelands but there was a town nearby. You saw they wanted to make the game do better because they went back on their "no two people can be the same character" with their attempt at a multiverse story. I loved it for what it was, but we 100% deserved better.

I gotta say I really like this new form of content. The old way kinda just felt like a quick vid on what’s relevant in the main stream at the moment, this feels much more in depth and genuine.

Its actually a great game when you just play the single player campaign without all the stupid live service stuff they tried to pushed. Its why Suicide Squad is disappointing because Marvel Avengers already did it and it failed. its why I mainly play single player games.

I have a soft spot for this game. Actually enjoyed the story. And played with a friend on release that's no longer here.

is it even still playable now? Man the state of modern gaming annoys the hell out of me, the fact that we even have to ask this question is stupid

I think we can agree most of us thought the roster would be just as long or longer than ultimate or alliance…

Does anyone else chant out “in todays video” at the some time as Matty 😂

For those who are curious the game it's still working. Offline and multiplayer. New players will have to buy the disc to play. But we could all make a discord group or something to play together especially for the raids...

I know this Game had a very rocky launch but I have to say the main story is surprisingly good. I love playing as Captain America. Throwing his shield around is a blast. Plus, Spider-Man is pretty fun in combat as well(The swinging is stiff though lol 😂).

The biggest faliures of the past decade has been live service and yet were still getting these games.

I still go back and play it when I'm in the mood for a superhero game that isn't Spider-Man or Batman. I play as Hawkeye in the MCU Ronin outfit giving me a the closest thing I'll probably ever get to a Green Arrow game

We thought it couldn't get worse than this.... then SSKTJL came out.. perhaps we were too harsh on Crystal dynamics

Proud to contribute with the question!! Crushing it Matty, love the content!!

I’ve always stayed away from it, but hearing the content additions and positive changes, I think I’ll give it a chance.

Actually Hawkeye and Kate do have their differences except that they both use a sword and bow, but Hawkeye is more skilled with the bow and arrows and he has very good combos with it and he is a little slower than Kate when hitting with the sword, the thing about Cosmic Cube has a post-credit scene at the end, because then you have to talk to Hank Pym and it will be revealed that Crystal Dynamics had planned to put a big Avengers Villain in the game Jane Foster disappointed me because she is a total copy of Thor except that she is better at Ranged attacks and The Winter Soldier has the abilities of Cap and Widow combined but at least they knew how to give variety to their abilities which actually turned out very well

I enjoyed the game. I never hated it I didn’t understand why. Clint Barton Hawkeye was my favorite to play!!

Great video! Thank you Mr editor and your cat is super cute! :)

I kinda feel bad for this game. I really enjoyed playing it and I wish that it had been released in better circumstances. COVID really hurt it and the initial reception basically killed it because hardly anyone was playing it

Best thing about War for Wakanda. Christopher Judge voices Black Panther. Gives strong Kratos vibes 🤩🤩😍😍

I know most of you don’t care at all but I want to tell my story and I think this might be one of the right places to put it. When the game was first announced I was hella excited, I even pre-ordered it, I’ve always been a comic book enthusiast and geek, my favorite characters were always Spider-Man, Captain America and Hawkeye, (just from marvel ofc) long story short: I got to play the game when it was first released, (even then Spider-Man was already kinda confirmed for PlayStation players, they never set up a date but they said he was coming) and back then everyone was so into the MCU movies that I remember many of my friends hated it because they thought it would have something to do with it, now, I gotta admit that when the game first started I was having such a blast it was such a good game, in that time it was so simple because it was only the campaign and main story except for maybe one or two side missions, until I finished the campaign and then I was repeating the same missions but with no reason at all, after a month it was stressing cause then missions got harder, and everything seemed like a cycle, until then they added the Kate bishop DLC where I was honestly disappointed that I wasn’t able to play as Clint Barton but Kate was still good, something that was for real annoying me around that time was the fact that no matter how many times I’d complete a mission, glitches like the mission not showing up as complete would constantly happen (specifically with Taskmaster) but the rest was fine, then future imperfect came and I was happier, many more glitches occurred but nothing to worry about, then due to other games that I wanted to play, after completing future imperfect I deleted the game and came back many months later with the Wakanda Operation already added and it was SUCH a mess, many I completed objectives that would take me ages, a lot of side missions etc. I decided to complete the wakanda thing and leave again and when I came back Spider-Man was already there, then I found something magical that had always existed but I never did, playing with people online, it made it much more fun, i remember spending some money on Cap skins and leaving a couple months after, never came back ever, that was around November 2022 February 2023, I came back today, April 21 2024 and i just read on an instagram posrt from the game account, that they will no longer update the game or work on it, it’s officially discontinued until further notice and that makes me hella sad cause even tho it had the ULTRA Trash moments, it is still on my personal top 3 games I’ve enjoyed the most.

The Marvel's Avengers game was actually fun

Marvel Avengers is better than Suicide Squad at least.

This is my high game😂 I got no idea why it just is

Great video guys.

I actually just played this game and the story expansions back in February. I got it on a sale for $15 CAD. The story was very enjoyable. The graphics are some of the best from last gen and the selection of skins was great. However, it felt very mobile-esque in terms of how the missions were structured, and they became very repititive because of that design. The game really shined in its more linear segments related to the story. The combat could have been polished a lot. Hitting enemies is satisfying, but sometimes it just becomes a bullethell and not being able to properly block becomes a problem. That games as a service idea is really hard to pull off. I'm not sure why companies haven't looked at the real successes of games as a service, such as Genshin Impact and fornite, and impletented that in their games. First of all, if you want to make a game service, make it free, have a solid foundation with a story, enough for the people to say, I really enjoyed this, I want more. Then you can focus on how to monetize it. I'm not a big fan of gatcha, but I've played Genshin almost since launch and I don't think I've spent more than $100 on it. And i have pretty much every 5-star that I like, same for Honkai Star Rail. I don't think I would mind a Marvel game with a similar design. Make it open world, constantly adding to it with a solid story, and give us a solid selection of character to get started

No one actually critiqued the (9 to 10hr)story, everyone just focused on the in game. Unfair criticism

ms marvel is my favorite superhero, so even though i didnt love this game i did seriously enjoy seeing an awesome kamala khan story in a big budget game!

Honestly in 2024 this game is great in my opinion. With live support cut off, character progression sped up, and most extras/skins given for free, I no longer spend countless minutes looking at loading screens, and the gameplay experience is really fun and varied. I confess that I pick up this game way often than I did when it came out. I nearly gave it no second thought for 3 full years.

Keeping Spiderman a playstation exclusive is an insult to the fanbase.

I still play this game regularly, I love Marvel and well... its a F****** AVENGERS GAME!!!

i bought this game for the ps5 a couple years back, still haven't unboxed it or played it but after watching this, i may give it a go

Ngl this game is actually fun asl especially since im a marvel super fan

I got the platinum trophy for this game. Haunting

I loved this game. It has excelent combat and once you get into the endgame of fine tuning your build, its cool how it changes the playstyle of a characters kit. What this game suffered from was clear and concise gameplay loops.

20:41 Hell divers 2 is like the Baldurs Gate 3 of live service games, worth a mention for live service that works and is built different

I didn’t get Marvel avengers until right before they pulled it from the stores. Got it for $3 on steam. And fell in love. Came with all cosmetics unlocked and I play it on my steam deck a lot like up camping and stuff and it’s a ton of fun! I put in a solid 60+ hours in it. Even bought it for ps4 and then ps5 for the Spider-Man exclusive lol. I like it. Still go back sometimes. And was kinda hoping suicide squad squad was gonna be more like marvel avengers. But again I like suicide squad. lol 🤷🏻‍♂️ soooooo

I bought mine at Walmart when it came out and the game case came in a box with the same cover art and came with patches or pogo of the Marvel icons in the game. I believe they are still inside the box in my closet but I’ll have to check after work.

I was with the game since launch i personally enjoyed the game i understood the frustration players had but I had fun I took a break after black panther and came back when winter soldier was added and immediately went back to grinding and enjoying the game it’s really sad the game ended

I've always felt since day 1 that the game's story was a really fun and interesting take on the characters

Be putting the game in my PlayStation for the first time since 2021

I STILL play Marvel Ultimate Alliance on X Box 360 and it Holds up Better than Avengers 2020!

I just ordered my PS5 copy. Keen to replay this game now.

I think the issue with live service games is that they occasionally, very occasionally, do work super well. Helldivers 2 proved that recently. So all these big AAA studios keep trying over and over and over just in case, without understanding what works about the very few that do.

"Web slinging to the sky, attaching it to the wrist of jesus christ" 😅😅😅😅😅

This is one of those games I've bought and never even past the intro 😂

Having bought this game with all the dlc for 5$ before they took down all the digital editions..it had its moments. Having all the skins really helped my experience when I.could roll up to a mission with the MCU Avengers team/Skins

You need to try the Guardians of the Galaxy game it’s a whole different vibe and I personally think it’s really great game to play. 👍🏼

The Rami spider man web swinging and attaching it to the wrist or jesus christ- retro rebound btw i subed after that im glad i found this channel

Greta review! I how you do guardians next! A significant improve my on the avengers formula

Glad you can still play the game

I love this game. I played it from the start to the very end and after. If they had kept with it and didn’t just drop to a skeleton crew months after release I think we could have had a different result.

I booted this up for the first time last night. Funny to see a video today

I may have missed it, but I dont believe you mentioned that it's no longer being sold on digital store fronts, which makes it 100x harder to get into the game outside of physical copies.

i always enjoyed this game it always felt like a 3d vs of tmnt side scrollers or like those old snes avengers games

hey matty , Btw DareDevil was part of the New Avengers in volume 2 run of the comic books

What also killed the game was having to buy all the good costumes!

Loved this game. All the characters are so unique.

I loved marvels avengers and still see the potential in the game. This game was something I always dreamed of wish the game was still updated and saved. Hopefully we get another game like this

I am glad i got this just before they did shut it down. Playing as Hulk is my favorite part of the game. Also having all those suits are awesome. Would have been better if Hulk 2003 had a Skin aswell.

I still see the potential for Avengers, it could be possible for the developers to make a sequel continuing where this game left off, this time with all the heroes still there maybe a tweak or two with the combat. Plus from what I remember about the last content updates was that Monica Rappaccini was running out of resources for preparations on the Kree Invasion and trying to stop the Avengers from ruining her plans. Maybe in this hypothetical sequel AIM is not the massive empire it used to be, but still pop up on occasion as we focus on other threats the Avengers face maybe mystical threats like Dormammu and the mindless ones, or seeing this world's Hydra, The Woken of Asgard returning to help Loki's mischief. There are still story points that could be explored in there, plus I've reimagined the Spider-Man content in this game, because Spidey said that AIM is working on Chemical Weapons, there could've been sabotage missions for destroying the caches plus from what I heard in the audio logs, Spencer Smythe blames the loss of his son Alistaire on the Avengers since San Francisco we could've had Spider Slayer robots, and given that Mark Raxton is in the story Monica could've informed Smythe about his betrayal to AIM and used him as a guinea pig and become Molten Man, not only fight him but Spencer too in a Spider Slayer exoskeleton suit along with Spider-Man uploading the evidence of AIM's experiments to the Daily Bugle servers. As for Jane Foster, I would've added the continuation of the Woken of Asgard with her helping Thor and the Avengers stop Loki and Helen Gable the ex AIM scientist that was obsessed with Asgardian artifacts. With the Winter Soldier I would've had actual story missions of recovering the Winter Soldier protocols, maybe have a single player mission flashback of him rescuing Inhumans for Maria Hill like the intro missions for Hawkeye and Black Panther. I know that there were more characters on their list to add She-Hulk, Doctor Strange, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Mockingbird, Quake, and Captain Marvel but all I can do is imagine if they were added.

Had fun with friends playing the survival mode Thats all the fun i remember about this game

I loved Marvel Avengers and I loved that it was live service. Take the game for what it is. I played the game since 2022 never spent a dollar, and I had a very good experience building my characters.

I fired it up the other day..i was surprised by how fast i was able to start a raid...i dnt play it as much as i used to but i definitely still play it way more than gotham knights

Glad I waited to get my copy for the ps5. Started playing for first time a couple days ago and I’m enjoying it so far all the skins unlocked is a very nice bonus 🤩

It’s the fact that there are still billboards promoting this game in different cities around the country 😂😂. I’m a truck driver so I have seen them with my own eyes😂

I bought this on Steam last year when it went onsale for like $4 before they took it offline. Seemes interesting especially at that price, haven't played it yet

When this was first announced I was so excited because I thought it was going to be a story based game, soon as I found out it was a live service game I lost all hope

I got all the trophies and achievements for this game in Xbox and PS5. I loved this game. So sad it's gone.

This game was such a hype and super duper good and had SOOO many meta every week like i loved black panther

I actually like this game flaws and all

The combat in Avengers was actually quite a lot of fun. Definitely much better than in most other Marvel games (outside of Insomniacs Spider-Man). And the "weird" looking faces was just because they took a more realistic approach with the visuals. You got used to it. Much more of a problem was the voice acting, which just mostly sucked. They booked Troy Baker, Nolan North and Laura Bailey just so that they can sit them on a couch next to each other when revealing the game. Baker and Bailey were ok, but Nolan North was pretty miscast as Tony. And it's not like there is no good Tony Stark out there besides Robert Downey Jr. The guy who voices him in Midnight Suns and Ultimate Alliance 3 is pretty great. Also, the guy who voices Thor, he constantly sounds like a guy who is "doing a voice". I know that is a problem with English voice acting in general, but if you want me to take the character seriously, don't make me think it's a guy who is playing a guy. On the other hand, this game's version of Ms Marvel might actually be better than the MCU version. But it all comes down to the gameplay, and I think what the game nails is the feeling of the characters. I actually DISAGREE hard on Spider-Man feeling bad. Sure, the webswinging is nowhere near as good as Insomniacs, but it works fine, and it was fun to me. And his combat feels pretty identical to Insomniac. The main problem with this game is the boring repetitive missions, levels and meaningless loot. That is the game's biggest problem. If you just want to run around as the Avengers with friends, it's not that bad. Playing alone is mostly boring outside of the story. (Speaking of endgame stuff here, the main story is fine) Also, the character roster is so dumb. They have two Hawkeye's, two Thors and the final character was a guy with a gun. Instead of using more unique characters like Dr. Strange or Wanda.

One of the best stories I've played in a game recently.

Does anyone know if when I buy the standard edition currently in physical play, they will give me the skins for free like in the definitive edition in 2023, or nothing?

The bigegst problem of this game wasnt only that stupid "game service" model but the general audiences with the "but they dont look like in the movies" stupid complaint. Not the greatest game, but still a fun experience to play with friends.

Lol that was the shortest unboxing of the channel I think I've ever seen. It's a shame games today are so far and few between of what we had years ago versus what we're getting now.

I just ordered the “Earth’s Mightiest Edition” on Xbox for $29.99 tonight from my local game store. The Cap statue looks kinda cool and I’m looking forward to some single player content.

The people that made this game should be held accountable for crimes.

Daredevil is sometimes a avenger in the comics

This game was fr fun, had its issues but I wish I could replay it. Bummer it got shut down.

6:51 the short and true question is how bad the game is in 2024!

I still have a team or two that jumps on to loot chase for those perfect pieces. The frame work on this game was solid, each character felt great… it just needed some love from a bigger and better team. A couple new arenas, a couple well designed boss fights, a few more raids like cloning labs? Who knows. Maybe this would have been golden and still bleeding my wallet for skins.

wait, how did you play this? i thought the servers shut down

Hell Divers is during Live Service very well

This is one of the best games I've bought on sale, for only 3 dollars, I've played it for like 60 hours, and I like the game.

Played the whole post campaign with Thor and I had a great time getting to max gear level when the game came out. Hammer throw sticking enemies to a wall while I beat enemies with fist to then call the hammer back leading into a heavy attack finisher felt great. Agree the ground characters sucked. Hulk was kinda cool tho.

I believe if this game came out in the early 2000s, it would have been one of greatest games. But games have advanced so much and this game couldn’t keep up

The game actually went gold prior to the pandemic hitting.

I personally liked it from launch, the story was so good and the missions were all fun

If I bought the disc version, is there still a way to download the expansions?

This game should be free to play for playstation

Adding Daredevil, Luke Cage and Wolverine. probably would have saved the game.....

I played a good bit of this and I enjoyed it for what it was. Look past all the monetized and online aspects (because half the time the online didn't work lol) and it was a fun experience. I enjoyed the story and maybe one of these days I'll finish it. I still owe it to myself to platinum Anthem lmao. I'm so close to that shiny trophy.

I MISS THIS GAME 😭 I wish they had more time and money to make this game what it should have been

Im glad they made everything free as someone who spent money on the game, im just glad I was able to wear black widow swim suit outfit when it was added
