Where shall I start in regards to this game?
Well, I was a HUGE fan of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series. Beat ’em up brawlers have always been my jam. You give me a Dynasty Warriors game and I can be entertained for hours. Add X-Men to the mix… and I’m sold.
I was one of the unfortunate souls who really only discovered X-Men Heroes as it was coming to consoles… and anyone who played that knows how it went. It spoke to my love of Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Being able to run around (as Elektra, in her Netflix outfits, of course) and level her up while beating up baddies was so much fun.
When Marvel’s Avengers was announced, it too spoke to my love of Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and I’m sure others felt the same. It’s one of the few games, if not the only one, that I love not necessarily for the game itself, but for the potential I see. I am rooting for Marvel’s Avengers like Tyra Banks was rooting for Tiffany on ANTM. I see what it can be and I want it to get there. And I really REALLY want to see some X-Men (and my girl Elektra) make it to the game.
Though it has been a bumpy road (ie 10 months without new content, no new roadmap), I still haven’t given up on this game. I do my daily challenges, I buy skins (when they are on sale). And even though I thought the echo character would be Yelena (who I was so excited for), I’m intrigued to play as Mighty Thor aka Jane Foster, when she comes out. Yesterday, there was also leaked audio of characters talking to She-Hulk, Winter Solider, and Captain Marvel. Of those three Captain Marvel is the one I’m most excited about.
Despite not giving us a traditional roadmap, I do believe content will continue to come to this game and I’m going to keep playing.
I think my current dream list for the game is: Scarlet Witch, Yelena, Jean Grey, Storm and Elektra. (I figure, once they figure out how to put a Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange in the game, it would be easy to translate those moves to Jean Grey and Storm… hell, even Sue Storm.)
Are you still playing Marvel’s Avengers? Why or why not? Who are the characters you’re looking to see come to the game?
