    2020's Marvel's Avengers had the potential to be the best superhero action adventure game of ALL TIME. With a $200,000,000 estimated budget, it was set up for success on nearly every single level, but it completely flopped and was shut down shortly after it's release. So, what happened to Marvel's Avengers?

    Yeah, Now I remember this lackluster game...
    The hype around it was something else man.
    And then it all came tumbling down.
    Alas, a story that a lot of games share.

    They should have made games for each individual hero, one at a time, using the same engine (cheaper that way), then made a team up game if they sold well.

      Honestly I don’t think this would be a great way to go about it in games, that would’ve taken forEVER to come out with 5 games to then get to an Avengers game. I think if this game had succeeded then building off of it to flesh out the universe better would’ve been a good plan

    Something you didn't mention, this was also that weird period when Marvel was trying to push the Inhumans as a replacement for mutants.
    So, y'know, that probably didn't help the game either.

    0:08 im going to let you in on a little secret. The avengers weren't really that cool. Disney messed everything up as they have been doing for a while now and the scavengers is one. Even before that i think the "hype" was artificially inflated to cause more interest. The game failed because it was build on failure itself

    It got waaay worse reception that it should have. It was an OK game if you like Marvel in general and wanted a bit of mindless fun. Story was short, but it wasn't bad, and gameplay loop was simple but effective.
    It was not a bad game, but it wasn't the awesome juggernaut that it wanted to be and people expected.

      @calumhouston3308 4 дні тому +1

      I disagree. What you just described sounds awful. A full-price AAA game that has a short story mode and endless grinding. This game was poor development, microtransactions, an unbalanced cast of playable characters, and an uninspired story.

      @@calumhouston3308 Oh, i should have been more specific maybe. You're right that as a AAA product it was a failure, but as a heavily discounted game, or even included on GamePass, it was worth a while.
      I mean, if i paid 60$ or more for this game, i would have been really pissed. But as i paid i think it was 5-10$ for it, i thought it was nice.

      It's nowhere close to the failure that is Concord, that game couldn't even draw in 1,000 players at it's peak. The Avengers game at least has good combat, and some good ideas thrown in with the mediocre repetition of the missions that you had to redo over and over after the story was complete.

    I played the PS4 version of this back in 2023 before it was delisted and while I do see the bones of something half-decent, it ended up being the most tedious and boring looter brawler I've ever played. Even without the microtransactions at the time of playing it, it reeked of live service slop. The overall game as I said was so boring to play sans a few decent moments.

    Projected profits are not real profits and shouldn't be a measure of success. Stop trying to predict the future. Maybe if you released it for free like Marvel Rivals it would have reached a wider audience. You can't sell a game, fail to deliver content and expect to be successful. Also, tell Sony that they're being stupid when they keep the most popular character (Spider-Man) to Playstation only, DUH! 🙄
