A little more than three years after it was released, time is about to be called on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel's Avengers. On September 30, the superhero team-up game will be delisted, and you will never be able to buy it again. Support for the game will end, which means no more DLC and no more fixes for potential problems should they arise. However, you will be able to keep playing the game, so you need to buy it before it's too late.
The fact that Avengers will still be playable after the game is delisted later this week seems to have been lost in translation for some people. I also assumed when 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the news broke t💯hat the game would be shut down and disappear, even if you own it. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The $4 price tag it has right now has likely reinforced the belief that, after Friday, not only will Avengers not be available to buy, but it won't even be available to play.
That's not the case at all. Its single-player campaign and multiplayer features will be fully playable for the foreseeable future. That makes the $4 you'll pay for Avengers an absolute bargain. You’re getting a tonne of content for about the same price as half a pint of craft beer in a Camden microbrewery. Not only do you get the full single-player experience, but also all of the story DLC. Not to mention all of the game's cosmetics, which were made available for free to all players shortly after the shutdown announcement.
Your reaction to me urging you to buy Avengers before it's gone for good might be, “Even for $4, why would I buy a game that was such a flop?” Well, the content you’ll be getting for that price wasn't the reason for the flop. The insistence that Marvel's Avengers be a live service game coupled with its always online elements led to its demise. You know, the parts of it that'll be gone after this week.
The story itself wasn't that bad. There's a moment that has stuck with me for three years – no spoilers here, just in case you do buy the game – and it does a pretty great job of introducing Kamala Khan to more casual Marvel fans. The game was released before the MCU's Ms. Marvel show though, so more people should know who she is by now.
You also won't have to endure the pain of waiting for story DLC for months on end, only to be left disappointed. None of the expansions were particularly groundbreaking, but you could say that about most free DLC nowadays. Most of the disappointment was borne from the wait that came with it, particularly the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Spider-Man stuff. Those who buy the game now won't have that problem. You can play it as if it were some sort of complete edition, which I guess it is now. Play the story and all of the DLC, and again, because I can't stress this enough, for just $4.
If you enjoy Marvel on any level, you will enjoy Marvel's Avengers. All the big heroes are there, and it tells a completely new story. No retreading an MCU angle despite the familiar line-up. No, it doesn't compare to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Insomniac's Spider-Man or the Arkham trilogy, and other than the live service push, that may well be why Avengers ultimately failed. In a world where superhero games are so good, one where a bunch of the most popular heroes on the planet teamed up should have been one of the most successful games ever made. T💜he expectations were far too high, and the 🌳game had no hope of ever achieving them.
That said, for such a low price, and with only a couple of days to go until it's gone forever, Avengers is still worth your time and money. Hey, what's the worst that could happen? You're down $4 and spent a little time playing a game you didn't like. We have all paid a lot more for a lot worse.
