I understand other peoples opinions but I really do love this game. I preordered it around 140 days before it came out and it could just be the marvel fan in me talking but I don't believe this game is a cash grab like most people are saying.
"It's 2020 and people want more from their games." Gonna have to disagree with that. I don't want "more"; I want "complete", "polished", "well designed", "satisfying". I'm tired of being led on for possibly more, better content down the road, all the while being nickled and dimed for a game I paid full price for. I personally think Jedi Fallen Order is a good example of what I mean, that was a solid game that I fully enjoyed that gave you everything up front without asking for more. I'm tired of the game as a service model, how about games as a finished product first and foremost.
Facts and for 2020 ghost of tsushima is also good. I'm sick of games like fortnite with battle passes and like 600 dlcs. Also can we stop with day one patches?
Leon Mtshweni yeah I agree. This title DEFINITELY should have been pushed back at least another year because what I played in the beta was honestly scaring me because of how bad it was (in my opinion)
A lot of people do want quantity over quality these days. That's why a lot of games release broken & aren't very good. Sad, but true. It's young people's fault... But I agree with you.
So basically just buy it like 2 years from now when the game is complete and some of the cosmetic stuff is outdated so you can buy it with some kind of ingame currency
@@crosbones5262 for you to grind all the cosmetics you have to sell your soul, it takes too long, I have 20 hours of play and I managed to buy my first skin now, the grind is not fair.
Why can’t developers just make a normal single player game? Why do people keep doing this “live service” bs where you grind the same missions over and over for boring loot? Live service games are trash and you can’t tell me otherwise.
This game has a good Single player set pieces , action story as well ! If games are made single player only , they collect dust after 1 or 2 weeks. You need an online mode , lmao just look what Ghost of Tsushima is doing , that way you get most out of your money ! And for this game , every post launch character and content is FREE !!! Only optional cosmetics are charged , even those are obtainable via gameplay !
If we want studios to do these we have to be willing to pay 100 to 200 bucks a game to make it worth it for them to pay developers for working so long on the offline content
@@nise8531 older cods have long stories? The old cods have short ass campaigns that can be done in 8-10 hours. Skyrim is great and can have 200 hours + on a single play through but the actual main story is rather short and is padded out with guilds, side quests, civil war storyline and general exploration. Those were poor examples of long story AAA games lol
@@thee_morpheus The first Ultimate Alliance is pure ham and cheese straight outta the comics. Over the top performances, silly ass designs, even evil clones. God, I love it so fucking much XD Helps that it's a pretty good game and reeeeeeally fun.
My main problem is that the game is built specifically for multiplayer, like non story specific mission don't give you solo option you always have to have a a.i companion
You can totally do everything solo by turning off matchmaking and deselecting companions, and yes their is difficulty settings to make it easier to play solo or go all out in hard.
I had so many rage quit moments in this game. With some characters, when you get swarmed by bots with shields that are constantly staggering you, you're screwed. The AI has perfect targeting and you get targeted, tagged and staggered from enemy ranged attacks even while sprinting, in flight or even out of the field of view. It can leave you very tilted and hate the game.
@@lxrdiuli1879 it could be entertaining for little kids, the problem is that its story is overly ambitious. I dont know why I dont like it, but even if i try to like this game it just seems impossible!!! Maybe because of the repetetiveness? Or the lackluster story!
@Atlas That game may have been built by well meaning devs w/ a good or at most a decent system. But AAA publishers only want your money. Their greed is unreal.
@@wythore they're charging you full price for an incomplete game that is lackluster and are saying to you that the game will get new content later. They are capable of giving broken promises similar to how anthem did and that failed. This game is a looter when the loot feels completely meaningless in comparison to other looters such as Borderlands.
I’d say do yourself a favor and wait till it drops in price. By then there will be more content and hopefully a lot of updates fixing the current problems.
That's why i love the wolverine game to this day, every level was different and very interesting, no online multiplayer stuff just endless single player experience...
Wolverine origins was a an underappreciated classic. I thought the gameplay at the time was right up there with god of war. Wouldnt mind a remaster of that one.
@@aFLYER1980 live online looters. its different. nioh is looter and also a game like souls, i played alittle it was fun. really hard though. games as service looters is like wow, destiny, they make companies ALOT of money. overwatch is similar and different to this
Omg this game was fantastic. The story mode is great even if some of the missions are extremely infuriating, but the combat is solid and characters hit like friggin trucks. Plus tossing a bunch of shit around and tearing up the environment, so fun to do.
Jake I always wait for your Before you Buy vids before I buy any kind of game I am on the fence with and this is why I love you man. Your honest about your feelings ya some people won’t like to hear what you say but I really appreciate it.
The one thing I think its not worth it to get it now is the game is not complete yet. Game mode is pretty limited and hope it can be better with more characters and maybe some more game mode in the future. btw this is the only game I have seen that you must buy with full $59.99 without discount (mostly you can get it cheaper in like GMG but not this time)
I’m a huge Marvel fan, so when the tease for this game appeared so many years ago, I was so giddy with excitement. When the first trailer was released, I was like okay, this looks kinda cool. But as the war tables and other marketing showed up to explain what the game was about, I had my reservations. I’m more of a single player campaign guy; and if there’s loot to upgrade your character, I want to see the visual change (even tho loot in general can be pretty boring and stupid at times - it needs to be done right). The gameplay in my opinion is really bad. The small circles just before an enemy attacks are “inside” them, it’s hard to see; the camera work is odd,; and there’s not a lot of skill involved, it’s just button-mashing and destruction. That’s just from seeing the game, not playing it. But from what I saw... i was utterly disappointed. Which sucks bc i rly rly rly love marvel. I’m gonna be watching other ppl play thru the campaign, and maybe after when it’s cheaper I’ll buy it. Thanks @gameranx for confirming my “suspicions”.
@@tomasalexander1073 that's the whole point of watching videos on the gameplay so you don't burn 60 dollars on something you don't like. Same thing with movies I don't really get your point
@@dhruvnankani3509 So be it! Make multiple games for each character then! Lots of people would be happy to buy all that. Now I'm not gonna buy this game
I'm probably just going to wait for gotham knights instead but this seems fun I guess EDIT: yes I'm a DC fan, but I like Marvel too but this game seems kinda wack
I’m not going to lie I’m getting tired of all these warframe destiny and battle Royale games they are ruining gaming anymore makes us hate each other and be utterly biased of why and what games we play
The loot feels very tacked on. It doesn’t feel important at all, and it doesn’t change how you look. And I think the pvp type capture the area missions were odd inclusions, because you stand in one spot in this game we’re the fun part is beating guys and running around
I disagree, Loot feels fine to me. I prefer loot not change how I look because every game thats in you end up transmogging the gear so it looks how you want anyways so you aren't an ugly mismatch of gear that works best but doesn't look best. The loot can change the strength int what play style you want the character to be, be a ironman focused on hitting light finisher to apply gama which tick damages that on parry can get invulnerability buff, or synergy up light and heavy attacks to both apply plasma damage and if you take damage you have the chance to set off defensive explosions. the loot does exactly what loot is suppose to do without forcing me to look a different way. to me its perfect.
How does the loot not feel important? There are so many skills to get, some that can actually ampllify specific character abilities, and even on top of that, loot that adds status effects (such as being able to freaking shrink ur enemies). And u also have major artifacts give u an extra active ability determined by the artifact. And even more, each piece of loot affects ur ratings in different ways, u can build a tanky character, ability based character, melee based, ranged etc.
I feel like what they're trying to accomplish is how it is in the comics. Crazy random stories and team ups. Its not just 1 story that u get once. But a continuation of different missions n adventures
Maybe it could have worked if they stuck to 1 main story for the main game, then maybe have multiple other stories to play through that reference certain comics? They could even add some new story lines as DLC if they really wanted to. I'm not an expert on these sorts of things though since I don't play many games but I do enjoy watching them, so this is just an idea really. Also sorry I'm 9 months late-
I've been playing the last few days and I'm really enjoying it. Only time will tell how much longevity it has but so far I don't regret buying it. All the characters feel uniquely different and It's got a good amount of RPG features like gear and a decent sized skill tree for each character to play how you want with each of them.
@@yeerr8241 Yeah when most people complain about grindy games being repetitive I tend to laugh tbh. In theory every game is repetitive and that's to be expected. When a game is fun the repetition tends to not matter.
That makes no sense dude. Those reviews are mainly for people who didn't buy the game, so they know what they are getting in to. After buying it, you really should just play it and make your own mind about it, then maybe ask for refund if you are disappointed.
Itfeels like every games nowadays are becoming an Ubisoft type game. Whats wrong with single player story driven games, I really hope Valhalla, watchdogs, and Farcry 6 can be good.
because single player story games dont generate nearly as much money as multiplayer driven games. Game publishers want to make money and so they pump out the same mass multiplayer game every year to keep the gamers satisfied and if it makes them money then they dont care. But i agree that i also miss single player story games
@@olilea5522 yeah I get that. I am okay to spend money in games but I wish it can be more advanced. Cyberpunk 2077 will also have multiplayer's mode and in-game purchase but am okay with it, because I know CDPR is not going to expect games to spend money on some XP card or skins like Ubisoft did these years. I'm just sayin companies should spend more efforts on the game and dlc itself but not tring to took advantage of players
Felix Liu honestly I’m expecting Cyberpunk 2077 to be the best game of the decade. If it’s any less than what they’ve promised I’m gonna be so disappointed cus that is the only game this year that I am genuinely excited for 😂
After putting some hours into the game I can say I really enjoy it. However, the cash grab thing that almost all games are going for now is, for a lack of a better word, disgusting. Also, as far as the credits and whatnot for character purchase, its not really all that difficult to power up your characters Challenge Card for the few cosmetics/emotes/and in game currency that it gives. As far as I can tell after completing the story and diving into the multiplayer, that's all the credits are even for (that being the Challenge Card for each character, outside of that they're practically pointless). However, I think the game would have been better received if they hadn't done "mission area" thing and just made each section ( Pacific North West/Utah/Eastern Seaboard) their own respected big hub world locations with free roam. We're moving away from small mission locations at this point in gaming and it always hurts to see a company that's capable of creating massive games do things like what this game has done.
Javier Moya Jake usually is a bit lenient in these “before you buy” tho, the game would have been so much better if they would have just done a typical offline missions. I never once heard that the story is good, it’s just campaign gets good sometimes, the companies still don’t understand that Arkham games worked for a reason, and that formula is the best
Well, the only difference is that all the dlc characters,story, etc are all going to be free. As far as I’ve been able to see from research you don’t have to spend a single cent to get anything, even the so called battle pass is fully available. Market place is full of “meh” stuff compared to the in game ones. But I guess I’ll find out once I actually play tonight
I’ve honestly been loving this game so far. I’ve enjoyed playing with friends, the only gripes I have are minor, like clunky mission selecting, not being able to preview emotes etc. Sometimes the combat gets obnoxious, like when there are dozens of shielded goons or teleporting guys but I think the pros outweigh the cons for sure
I plan on getting the game either way I'm just trying to look for a good review on it. This unfortunately isn't it unfortunately because the guy doesn't like the combat. Not saying you can't but generally games with combat systems like this generally don't do well because few people "get" them. It's sad but I hope one or two good reviews make the difference because I want this game to succeed.
@James Cook I never said you couldn't like the game I wasn't sure I liked it but you had to be dick to me cause I didn't know If I liked it or not right now I don't want to buy it doesn't seem complete to spend 70 dollars on it but doesn't mean I won't buy it I was looking forward to this game a lot so I want to be fixed a bit before I spend the money
On the one hand, I feel a little less excited to play the game now (it’s currently installing) and sorta wish I waited till it dropped in price. On the other hand, Gameranx’s has given this kind of opinion to plenty of other games I thought were fun as hell. In the end, it’s everyone’s own opinion that make the games fun. And if this game is going for a destiny/division world, then I’m sure it’ll get better over time.
What i've seen it's a short story, many bugs in game, dull areas etc. characters look great tho and no hate at all just my opinion overall. If you like the game just play it and enjoy it.
the copycat Criminal Metacritic has it at a 5.8 user score so clearly it’s not worth 60 dollars or that good plus micro transactions seriously for a full priced game? Absolute waste of time
BROO THIS GAME IS JUST LIKE IT!!! I played marvel heroes for years before it went to consoles and when it shutdown I was pissed but playing this game definitely filled the void!!!
@@majortom331 it's mostly third party bots, I already beat the game and I can confirm this smh you fought 2 of 3 villains in the beta, this was a cool idea but shitty execution
Getting this for my birthday. I feel like it’ll be a good “I’m glad I didn’t spend money on it” type of game and hope that the future expands more on what people like
@@phantomfire7205 i finished and loved the game, you are lucky, i got freezecrash lag loading screen in my one play through. i also found a secret to make ppls eyeballs pop out and im loving every bit of it, also thats a broken glitch, but i really like it. i believe the glitches will be patched.
That seems like a bad idea, give your money to a game you know is good. Buying a game because you THINK it will get better is just setting yourself up for disappointment and promotes bad business practices.
It's an amazing game, it's just obviously not this guy's type of game. Maybe he's a hardcore DC fan and has a grudge against anything Marvel, because most of his reasons why this game is bad are total bullshit
I’ve been reading reviews saying that you can only play through the single player campaign once. Once you’ve finished it you’re basically forced into the multiplayer loot grabbing. You can’t even replay it on another difficulty setting. That’s a real turn off for me.
Delta rhino That’s what happens when mostly everything is shit these days 🤣also coupled with corona and it being the end of this console generation things are slow rn we’re all just waiting on shit to come out
Yeah I heard reviews completely bashing on the game but Jake here gave us a good show. And that's why I always trust Jake. His reviews are never biased and he gives the pros and cons of a game even if it's a bad game
@@camarochronicss1947 yeah I know but he still gave a honest review. I saw other reviews just bashing on every single thing in the game. It's a bad game yes but it still could be enjoyable for some people but honestly that never justifies the 60$ price tag

@@eldersnowball6890 I mean im not going to pre-order it or anything or buy some asinine special edition. But i can promise you it will be a complete game. The Witcher 3 is a pretty good litmus test. We also have some solid impressions already from game-play.
Sawyer nah graph looks from ps1 era, melee combat is so laughably bad its hilarious. 100% guarantee the game will be hot garbage, Can’t wait to see you CDPR apologists and ass suckerss cryyyy 😂😂😅😅
I feel like there’s a good story of how this game was developed, as if this game was originally going to be single player focused but was then morphed into a live service title by Square Enix as they needed a way to monetise such a well known franchise
Having just finished ghost of Tsushima.. where’s there’s no Grindy loot and micro transactions... no thanks Basically this is ghost recon breakpoint. Your not buying a game. You buying a point of sale
@@347tester And GTA been out since 2013, that game was off finished because they didn't release the Multiplayer til 2 months later after the release. Not to mention they keep adding dlc with microtranactions
How many hours it took you to finish it?I take my time with it and I am on act 1 almost 12 hours in and I have finished more side quests and exploring around the island than main quests,basically what ever is first on my way and also I never fast travel,this game definitely is worth it's full price details are on point and it is definitely one of the best looking and beautiful artistic games in whole history of videogames
babateru oh I don’t hate the game. Just not one of those games that I wake up wanting to play or lay in bed thinking about at night. Maybe I just chose the wrong choice of words.
Yeah me and my friends would make new characters and beat the game again and again and grind our characters up. It was hard tho without buying the membership
They’re really hoping folks get in there and start paying for the scummy cosmetics. Look at Destiny 2, they’re basically giving it away at this point. I can foresee the game getting a price drop fast
I bought it, I’m frustrated with some things, but I’m enjoying others, I’ll play the campaign, I’ll enjoy it, what I do next will come down to content, for now, I’m happy
This 'games as a service' thing just needs to die. It sounds awesome in theory cuz it's a way to extend a game past the initial 10-20 hours of gameplay, but in reality it's just an excuse to add more ways to get money out of people after already paying a triple A price.
If done right it can be a solid though. Rainbow six came out how many years ago and they’ve fixed/added so much without making people buy multiple games. Pretty much any sports game should adopt this method imo too. Instead of pumping out a new $60 game with no real new features just added seasons/roster updates and other content yearly/seasonly.
@@YourPalFry so instead they force cosmetics behind a pay/grind wall. Before they even fixed the bugs in the game. Bro that says enough to know that this is nothing more than a game thats gonna try get its sneaky grips on your wallet at any time it can, cause free DLC justifies exploitation apparently👍
@@mateopaez1020 yeah, this isn't really an MMO grind (at least not yet), that kind of grinding is where you spend hours killing a monster to slowly level up or spend months in guilds chasing after a single piece of gear. Might be grinding to the casual player, but not MMO players :)
@@drakusodrakus304 yeah, I've been playing wow since BC so I'm familiar with grinds and this game's "grinds" are definitely not bad at all. I'm used to putting in hours for rewards, this game is right up my alley
Yeah, me too honestly. Ig I’m just kinda burned out from grinding all sorts of games over the past few years, at the moment I’m really just trying to take it slow and playing games just for a fun time again instead of trying to max my stats, characters, etc. probably why I started playing single player games like the last of us again
I'm not even really into Marvel, but with all the controversy, I was still interested in the review. I feel like it was spot on. In general, if devs and publishers want a stronger player-base that sticks around long enough to buy whatever DLC they are undoubtedly cooking up, how about they craft a satisfying campaign with stimulating gameplay that warrants and rewards multiple playthroughs? The lackluster loot here sounds scary similar to Anthem-grind for hours doing the same types of missions over and over again to get gear that hardly affects your overall experience. Even after that massive blunder, we're still getting fluff-riddled cash grabs like this. I'll pour one out for the Marvel fans because if this happens to games and franchises I care about, I'll be annoyed as hell.
Yeah no. Its not a cash grab at all. Honestly if you spend money on this game and it isn't for a specific skin you want, you'd just be wasting money. Like homie said, its all free. They just want to see who's dumb/lazy enough to spend money. Also the game isn't convoluted at all. I really don't see how you'd at all be confused about what's going on in this game if you're coming from loot based games. Pick a character, rank up to make a build, play the game to get loot to do more damage, not complex at all. Beat the campaign, jump in with some homies, have fun. Yeah its gonna be repetitive, but you can't tell me in the first weeks Destiny/Division etc that they weren't repetitive. It's a grind but at the same time not really, not when you're having fun. Btw when I say you i mean anyone in general.
@James Cook idgaf if it's popular are not, dude. If you don't see how ASPECTS of this game are problematic, you're lying to yourself. This game is divisive for a reason, and it has legitimate flaws. Does it still have enjoyable bits? Sure. Could/should it be better? Also, yes.
@@MerK_San This game 100% did not need microtransactions, which are pretty much the definition of a cash grab. Its loot system also makes little sense in this type of game. It’s just fluff and barely affects gameplay. You say they just want to see who is dumb/lazy enough to spend money, but that’s not exactly an approach or design that should be rewarded. Also, just because “games as a live service” games like Destiny get better over time doesn’t mean they should be excused for being underwhelming, grindy, and repetitive at launch with a premium price tag. I know some people have fun with this game, and I'm definitely happy for them. Also, I’m sure it will get better over time, but it has legitimate flaws that deserve criticism as well.
Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong. Post-launch content will be free. Gear matters. Not change you look, tho, but that's not a problem. The special effects and elemental effects change the gameplay and how you need to build your character.
I'm having fun wit the game so far. Better than I expected. It's basically DC Universe wit a campaign(great story). Everything else is repetitive but that's expected for a game like this.
CROS BONES in my opinion they do feel clunky. also in the final version of the game, can you turn down the camera shake? Honestly that made me hate the beta more than anything (even when my beta crashed and I wasn’t able to play it)
This will be like hitman. They didnt nail it in the beginning, but you just wait until the sequel. Hitman 2 with all the mission from the first game blew my mind.
But apart from the new locations and a handful of weapons they didnt really improve or add anything. And this is coming from a big hitman fan, but personally i found hitman 2 to be a bit lazy and dissapointing.
Lol yeah it only took 15 years to make a hitman game that wasn't a solid 6/10. You have more patience than i do to sit through a crap franchise in the hopes they eventually make some gold.
@@farts6499 yeah it wasn't the 'first' Hitman game, they literally ran the franchise into the ground with rubbish. And even then - the first reboot was really good and received positive reception. This comment is just wrong.
Hard for me to pick this up after the masterpiece that is Ghost of Tsushima. Thats how you do a game, no micro transactions, no we will fix this later, but a full fledged game.
Games like these reminds me of executives and publishers cynically smiling, "How can we get more money from the players?" Easy, we'll micro transaction them at every turn because they already love the brand like Marvel. 😄
After playing this game for quite awhile id say the microtransactions aren't what I thought they would be its really just being able to buy credits(which are earnable through playing) and the only use for credits is the marketplace which is just cosmetics and you can earn many cosmetics through just playing. The marketplace is also completely avoidable so I think its fine
@@jessej6574 Yep, I already know that. But its still there, nowadays more so in most big games in general. Not just this game. If its there, it will enable people to pay money for it, even if its not yourself doing it. Just saying, that's all.
Guys, I own this game and I must emphasize one thing. There is nothing at all in this game you MUST pay money to unlock. Every single item in the store can be purchased with credits you earn from gameplay. There are no in-game credits that are only acquired by paying. I noticed the reviewer mentions something like this at 7:45 minutes but I felt I needed to be specific. You can get anything in the store by simply playing long enough. It may take awhile, but it is true.
Imagine if you couldn't in a full price game? Game monetization is getting so anti consumer that we praise when games let us grind the content without paying extra, after we already bought the game XD
I grind in real life an this is not a grind noooo buddy! This is some gutsy shit to do u will grind stop an then buy it 😂 so in all in all if u want it u gone have to buy it or go steal or rob somebody in real life to buy this bs good luck on your not what I call grind cause eather u gone buy the stuff or not u not gone play an earn this not unless u have no life no job just nothing to do an even then after all that u might grind a few pieces of gear an get tied an say f this I'm gone buy it or u not it's a rock an a hard spot I like game but I refuse to spend a dime extra on it period!
IMO: This game is damn good The beta got so much hate, but the beta is what made me pre-order it... Something I hardly do! The combat at first seemed boring to me, but as you level up it gets more interesting. Reminded me of Ghost of Tsushima honestly. Starts off simple, then right when you're getting used to the combat, you unlock something that changes it up just enough to keep it fresh. Plus, it rewards counters/dodges (etc.) as you get mastery over skills. It's damn good! I think I can understand where Jake is coming from with the "it's repetitive" comments, but I also think it's made like that on purpose. There's a clear gameplay loop which reminds me of another big RPG: Monster Hunter World. The formula can be said to be "repetitive" (choose a mission, go into an "open" level, fight some stuff, get better gear, get new skills, repeat) but it is rewarding as you get stronger and stronger.
The one thing that I think it is missing is a way to make your own hero to use in a freeplay area of the city. With it we could create our own custom heros or recreate heros from other franchises and make our own stories in the city.
Not the disaster many of us were expecting, but still has biig issues.

Nit picky much?
"It's 2020 and people want more from their games."
Gonna have to disagree with that. I don't want "more"; I want "complete", "polished", "well designed", "satisfying".

Why can’t developers just make a normal single player game? Why do people keep doing this “live service” bs where you grind the same missions over and over for boring loot? Live service games are trash and you can’t tell me otherwise.
Cause unfortunately people like it
This game has a good Single player set pieces , action story as well ! If games are made single player only , they collect dust after 1 or 2 weeks. You need an online mode , lmao just look what Ghost of Tsushima is doing , that way you get most out of your money ! And for this game , every post launch character and content is FREE !!! Only optional cosmetics are charged , even those are obtainable via gameplay !
Grinding loot is not games as a service that's a normal part of rpgs
George Martinez people don’t like it, they just do it like a chore
Cause money
I wanted them to focus 100% on the campaign and story and make it super long
If we want studios to do these we have to be willing to pay 100 to 200 bucks a game to make it worth it for them to pay developers for working so long on the offline content
@@christopherliu3981 nah... plenty of 60 dollar games with long stories. Skyrim, older cods...
It makes the two of us
@@nise8531 older cods have long stories? The old cods have short ass campaigns that can be done in 8-10 hours. Skyrim is great and can have 200 hours + on a single play through but the actual main story is rather short and is padded out with guilds, side quests, civil war storyline and general exploration. Those were poor examples of long story AAA games lol
Instead they make like 4 maps with the same shitty aim base
After all I've heard and seen of this game, I just want to play Ultimate Alliance again.
I got the Platinum Trophy for Ultimate Alliance 1 on the Ps4 bro im about to beat that shit again solo with Doctor Doom just for this comment 🤣
This game literally looks identical to ultimate alliance 2 but worse
The 1st one only, that one felt much more pure. The 3rd one felt lacking to me
@@thee_morpheus The first Ultimate Alliance is pure ham and cheese straight outta the comics. Over the top performances, silly ass designs, even evil clones.
God, I love it so fucking much XD Helps that it's a pretty good game and reeeeeeally fun.
they should make a new Ultimate aliance for ps4 and xbox, with a lots of characters, heroes and villans, with a good online support
My main problem is that the game is built specifically for multiplayer, like non story specific mission don't give you solo option you always have to have a a.i companion
You can play alone if you want, just deselect the AI and turn off matchmaking
goosbums1 Does the difficulty scale to be solo or are you automatically on a harder mission?
@@goosbums1 thanks for your opinion
I was always confused before now
You can totally do everything solo by turning off matchmaking and deselecting companions, and yes their is difficulty settings to make it easier to play solo or go all out in hard.
This is one of the first “before you buy” videos where I definitely watched BEFORE I bought it
Yes, because it just came out

Did you buy it?
Same lol
I had so many rage quit moments in this game. With some characters, when you get swarmed by bots with shields that are constantly staggering you, you're screwed. The AI has perfect targeting and you get targeted, tagged and staggered from enemy ranged attacks even while sprinting, in flight or even out of the field of view. It can leave you very tilted and hate the game.
Yeah that game trash 🚮🚮🚮

Just the fact that you play as superheroes COLLECTING LOOT shows me what the real focus of this game is

On loot and not superheroes. In a superhero game.

Jake I always wait for your Before you Buy vids before I buy any kind of game I am on the fence with and this is why I love you man. Your honest about your feelings ya some people won’t like to hear what you say but I really appreciate it.
The one thing I think its not worth it to get it now is the game is not complete yet. Game mode is pretty limited and hope it can be better with more characters and maybe some more game mode in the future.
btw this is the only game I have seen that you must buy with full $59.99 without discount (mostly you can get it cheaper in like GMG but not this time)
If you haven’t played it your opinion literally doesn’t matter, you contribute nothing of value to the conversation that hasn’t already been said.
@@LoveFlappy wow dude any particular reason to just be a total doucheknuckle?
Ya it seems like they made this game in a few months at most
Judas Fox have you played the game yet because you are wildly misinformed
Claym morez the game is certainly finished, but what’s there just isn’t all that good at the moment
I’m a huge Marvel fan, so when the tease for this game appeared so many years ago, I was so giddy with excitement.
When the first trailer was released, I was like okay, this looks kinda cool. But as the war tables and other marketing showed up to explain what the game was about, I had my reservations.
I’m more of a single player campaign guy; and if there’s loot to upgrade your character, I want to see the visual change (even tho loot in general can be pretty boring and stupid at times - it needs to be done right).
The gameplay in my opinion is really bad. The small circles just before an enemy attacks are “inside” them, it’s hard to see; the camera work is odd,; and there’s not a lot of skill involved, it’s just button-mashing and destruction.
That’s just from seeing the game, not playing it. But from what I saw... i was utterly disappointed. Which sucks bc i rly rly rly love marvel.
I’m gonna be watching other ppl play thru the campaign, and maybe after when it’s cheaper I’ll buy it.
Thanks @gameranx for confirming my “suspicions”.
Check out the UA-cam channel GBG he shows that the combat can be more advanced
“The gameplay is really bad” then “I’ve never played it, that’s just what I’ve seen.” Gotta love judging something you’ve never tried.

I’m not going to lie I’m getting tired of all these warframe destiny and battle Royale games they are ruining gaming anymore makes us hate each other and be utterly biased of why and what games we play
Destiny isn't the same as either of those ames
Battle royals games isn’t the same as either of those games
So you're tired of rpg like shooters?
Agree
Then play games like rdr 2, witcher 3, last of us, metro series.
Basically single player games which are good
The loot feels very tacked on. It doesn’t feel important at all, and it doesn’t change how you look. And I think the pvp type capture the area missions were odd inclusions, because you stand in one spot in this game we’re the fun part is beating guys and running around
I disagree, Loot feels fine to me. I prefer loot not change how I look because every game thats in you end up transmogging the gear so it looks how you want anyways so you aren't an ugly mismatch of gear that works best but doesn't look best. The loot can change the strength int what play style you want the character to be, be a ironman focused on hitting light finisher to apply gama which tick damages that on parry can get invulnerability buff, or synergy up light and heavy attacks to both apply plasma damage and if you take damage you have the chance to set off defensive explosions.
the loot does exactly what loot is suppose to do without forcing me to look a different way. to me its perfect.
How does the loot not feel important? There are so many skills to get, some that can actually ampllify specific character abilities, and even on top of that, loot that adds status effects (such as being able to freaking shrink ur enemies). And u also have major artifacts give u an extra active ability determined by the artifact. And even more, each piece of loot affects ur ratings in different ways, u can build a tanky character, ability based character, melee based, ranged etc.
SoullessKassidy you do you, just felt unnecessary and tacked on to me
Skrrt you’re entitled to feel that way, I just don’t
James Cook bro, I like the game, but I’m willing to admit it’s flaws, and issues I have with it. Tell me where I said the game is bad

Except all the DLC will be free and the only thing that you can buy is credits for SKINS not actual gameplay stuff.

@@gummyboots Each character has a battlepass, it's very obvious what they prioritised with this game

Good call
Hmm... You're comparing multiple game of the years to a game that just came out and one you haven't played... Nice.
They never get old
Big W for sure all of those games are classics. Best super hero game ever
That’s your best bet for sure if you don’t/can’t do multiplayer games
I feel like what they're trying to accomplish is how it is in the comics. Crazy random stories and team ups. Its not just 1 story that u get once. But a continuation of different missions n adventures
Maybe it could have worked if they stuck to 1 main story for the main game, then maybe have multiple other stories to play through that reference certain comics? They could even add some new story lines as DLC if they really wanted to. I'm not an expert on these sorts of things though since I don't play many games but I do enjoy watching them, so this is just an idea really.
Also sorry I'm 9 months late-
I've been playing the last few days and I'm really enjoying it. Only time will tell how much longevity it has but so far I don't regret buying it. All the characters feel uniquely different and It's got a good amount of RPG features like gear and a decent sized skill tree for each character to play how you want with each of them.
Only real comment I’ve seen in this section. I feel exactly the same way as you

Valhalla looks like the most generic garbage reusing the same engine year after year with the same Ubisoft game formula.
But $60?
That makes no sense dude. Those reviews are mainly for people who didn't buy the game, so they know what they are getting in to. After buying it, you really should just play it and make your own mind about it, then maybe ask for refund if you are disappointed.
I have the same feeling James. You know what's really happening? We lost our passion for gaming.

Itfeels like every games nowadays are becoming an Ubisoft type game. Whats wrong with single player story driven games, I really hope Valhalla, watchdogs, and Farcry 6 can be good.
because single player story games dont generate nearly as much money as multiplayer driven games. Game publishers want to make money and so they pump out the same mass multiplayer game every year to keep the gamers satisfied and if it makes them money then they dont care. But i agree that i also miss single player story games
@@olilea5522 yeah I get that. I am okay to spend money in games but I wish it can be more advanced. Cyberpunk 2077 will also have multiplayer's mode and in-game purchase but am okay with it, because I know CDPR is not going to expect games to spend money on some XP card or skins like Ubisoft did these years. I'm just sayin companies should spend more efforts on the game and dlc itself but not tring to took advantage of players
Ubisoft? Really? Origins and Odyssey were single player story driven games.

@@crimson6172 They are cash driven games.
After putting some hours into the game I can say I really enjoy it. However, the cash grab thing that almost all games are going for now is, for a lack of a better word, disgusting. Also, as far as the credits and whatnot for character purchase, its not really all that difficult to power up your characters Challenge Card for the few cosmetics/emotes/and in game currency that it gives. As far as I can tell after completing the story and diving into the multiplayer, that's all the credits are even for (that being the Challenge Card for each character, outside of that they're practically pointless). However, I think the game would have been better received if they hadn't done "mission area" thing and just made each section ( Pacific North West/Utah/Eastern Seaboard) their own respected big hub world locations with free roam. We're moving away from small mission locations at this point in gaming and it always hurts to see a company that's capable of creating massive games do things like what this game has done.

Same cause I heard mixed reviews and don't know what to think
I plan on getting the game either way I'm just trying to look for a good review on it. This unfortunately isn't it unfortunately because the guy doesn't like the combat.
Not saying you can't but generally games with combat systems like this generally don't do well because few people "get" them. It's sad but I hope one or two good reviews make the difference because I want this game to succeed.

Don't buy this piece of trash, there's so much better games on the market right now for the same or lower price.
On the one hand, I feel a little less excited to play the game now (it’s currently installing) and sorta wish I waited till it dropped in price.
On the other hand, Gameranx’s has given this kind of opinion to plenty of other games I thought were fun as hell.
In the end, it’s everyone’s own opinion that make the games fun. And if this game is going for a destiny/division world, then I’m sure it’ll get better over time.

It's an amazing game, it's just obviously not this guy's type of game. Maybe he's a hardcore DC fan and has a grudge against anything Marvel, because most of his reasons why this game is bad are total bullshit
They should’ve just remastered “Ultimate Alliance”
They already did that 😁
Get a switch
Ultimate Alliance did not have as much replay value as this game in my opinion.
X-men legends
They did already they should make the fourth one. The 3d one was the best overall except story
I’ve been reading reviews saying that you can only play through the single player campaign once. Once you’ve finished it you’re basically forced into the multiplayer loot grabbing. You can’t even replay it on another difficulty setting. That’s a real turn off for me.
You can replay
well said dude
Arkham games for the win
Carmichael Cotman the only way you can is you have to delete your save files. There’s no New Game+ or anything as of yet
They said they are adding it soon I think.

He is not excited in any games

I disagree. He didn’t even try to get into the loot system, harder content, or the combat system.
Yeah I heard reviews completely bashing on the game but Jake here gave us a good show. And that's why I always trust Jake. His reviews are never biased and he gives the pros and cons of a game even if it's a bad game
@@ultimatebro5719 it's a bad game tho you can get tht out of this review too so it's okay.
@@camarochronicss1947 yeah I know but he still gave a honest review. I saw other reviews just bashing on every single thing in the game. It's a bad game yes but it still could be enjoyable for some people but honestly that never justifies the 60$ price tag
4:23 that fps drop tho
that is the issue i found in the beta and they didnt fix it already
Betas are just demos now. They don't change anything
Literally every game on consoles have that issue
The voice-over stuttered too. That wasn't an fps drop, it was a rendering issue with the video, not the game.
@@SoyboyPeter I've not seen a game with as much fps drops as this one in a while, stop trying so hard to defend this buggy mess.
Immediately after saying “no performance issues” then huge chug
They should've just made Ultimate Alliance 3 on all the consoles and we'd be good.
There is a third game though

@@SoyboyPeter or there isnt enough content to warrant $60.
I’m waiting on it to show up on ps plus.
@@SoyboyPeter like someone said their ain't enough content to be 60 dollars.
I remember when this and CyberPunk were supposed to come out at the same time.
CyberPunk will actually be a full game when it releases, without all of this Games as a Service filler. Ill wait as long as CDPR thinks they need.
@@redhammer92 don't get me wrong im exited for cyberpunk but yall are hyping it wayyyy to much. For all we know it could be the biggest flop of all time
@@eldersnowball6890 I mean im not going to pre-order it or anything or buy some asinine special edition. But i can promise you it will be a complete game. The Witcher 3 is a pretty good litmus test. We also have some solid impressions already from game-play.
Sawyer nah graph looks from ps1 era, melee combat is so laughably bad its hilarious. 100% guarantee the game will be hot garbage, Can’t wait to see you CDPR apologists and ass suckerss cryyyy 😂😂😅😅
@@randomguy-bl7ff Gonna screen shot this. Ill see you after release lol.
I feel like there’s a good story of how this game was developed, as if this game was originally going to be single player focused but was then morphed into a live service title by Square Enix as they needed a way to monetise such a well known franchise
Having just finished ghost of Tsushima.. where’s there’s no Grindy loot and micro transactions... no thanks
Basically this is ghost recon breakpoint. Your not buying a game. You buying a point of sale
You do realize call of duty and gta have been doing this for the longest right? Not to mention Destiny as well.
Drezzy EFTP but those games have full campaign mode and plenty of other modes 😂 At least they released the games with finished full-fledged content
@@347tester are you high? Those games are rinse and repeat, the same game. Blops 4 didn't even have a campaign.
@@347tester And GTA been out since 2013, that game was off finished because they didn't release the Multiplayer til 2 months later after the release. Not to mention they keep adding dlc with microtranactions
How many hours it took you to finish it?I take my time with it and I am on act 1 almost 12 hours in and I have finished more side quests and exploring around the island than main quests,basically what ever is first on my way and also I never fast travel,this game definitely is worth it's full price details are on point and it is definitely one of the best looking and beautiful artistic games in whole history of videogames
I enjoyed it. “Enjoyed” it. Not really a game that holds you.
How? There's so much to do after the campaign. Max out each character, play with friends, etc. I really don't understand the hate for this game
babateru oh I don’t hate the game. Just not one of those games that I wake up wanting to play or lay in bed thinking about at night. Maybe I just chose the wrong choice of words.
Mr Sycotic very poor choice of words
@@babateru1941 Quantity does not equal quality. Grinding for character levels isn't exactly gripping content. If I wanted that, I'd play an MMO.
@@babateru1941 ikr I feel like this game is like fallout 76 when it had a bad start then gets better like to this day I can see the great changes
Oof... Lost me at, "The Destiny model".
Destiny is a good game tho.

@@bettercallmrsaul8894 And I thought my jokes were bad....

@@Jamie-dy6nq Show me where I said that....
Marvel should make a game like DCUO. To me that's still one of the best comic games to this day.
Yeah me and my friends would make new characters and beat the game again and again and grind our characters up. It was hard tho without buying the membership
THAT GAME WAS TRASHHHH!!!!!!!
@@pk_1 okay you feel better getting that out??
Yeah, I feel like I’ll wait for it to drop to ~15-20 bucks before I purchase.
Its a marvel game. It wont be dropping to that much unless black friday or christmas arrives
@@velocity834 black friday is coming up in a month or two.
No time for creative names just for games yea. But i doubt a 60$ game will drop that low. Itll prob go to 40
They’re really hoping folks get in there and start paying for the scummy cosmetics. Look at Destiny 2, they’re basically giving it away at this point. I can foresee the game getting a price drop fast
I like the game TBH
I bought it, I’m frustrated with some things, but I’m enjoying others, I’ll play the campaign, I’ll enjoy it, what I do next will come down to content, for now, I’m happy
This 'games as a service' thing just needs to die. It sounds awesome in theory cuz it's a way to extend a game past the initial 10-20 hours of gameplay, but in reality it's just an excuse to add more ways to get money out of people after already paying a triple A price.
Gonna be hard for them to get more money when all the future DLC is free though, bro.
If done right it can be a solid though. Rainbow six came out how many years ago and they’ve fixed/added so much without making people buy multiple games. Pretty much any sports game should adopt this method imo too. Instead of pumping out a new $60 game with no real new features just added seasons/roster updates and other content yearly/seasonly.
@@YourPalFry so instead they force cosmetics behind a pay/grind wall. Before they even fixed the bugs in the game. Bro that says enough to know that this is nothing more than a game thats gonna try get its sneaky grips on your wallet at any time it can, cause free DLC justifies exploitation apparently👍
Joey Ryan lmao I think someone is trying to justify dropping 60 bucks on this turd.
@@xShotgunSurgeryx I'll sell the turd I just dropped for half the price
It definitely isn't for everyone, if you like grindy MMO-ish games then it can be fun
I mean you don’t need to grind. I have great loot from just playing the levels
@@mateopaez1020 yeah, this isn't really an MMO grind (at least not yet), that kind of grinding is where you spend hours killing a monster to slowly level up or spend months in guilds chasing after a single piece of gear. Might be grinding to the casual player, but not MMO players :)
@@drakusodrakus304 yeah, I've been playing wow since BC so I'm familiar with grinds and this game's "grinds" are definitely not bad at all. I'm used to putting in hours for rewards, this game is right up my alley
I’ll probably wait until the definitive version drops
I'm more than tired of grinding and games as a service but it looks like the trend isn't going anywhere soon
I don’t know how you people enjoy games that aren’t games as a service
@@kadenzepher what do you mean by "you people". 😆
Yeah, me too honestly. Ig I’m just kinda burned out from grinding all sorts of games over the past few years, at the moment I’m really just trying to take it slow and playing games just for a fun time again instead of trying to max my stats, characters, etc. probably why I started playing single player games like the last of us again
Man, realistic ultimate alliance game would have kicked ass.
@@rainmaker2338 lmao are you serious?
First two were good, third one sucked. It was like a damn mobile game.
@@andretti10 but that's not reason to call ultimate alliance overrated as hell
I would pay for that
@@rainmaker2338 says u lol but I respect your opinion
Remember when games didn’t ask for the password you don’t remember just to play it
I'm not even really into Marvel, but with all the controversy, I was still interested in the review. I feel like it was spot on.
In general, if devs and publishers want a stronger player-base that sticks around long enough to buy whatever DLC they are undoubtedly cooking up, how about they craft a satisfying campaign with stimulating gameplay that warrants and rewards multiple playthroughs?
The lackluster loot here sounds scary similar to Anthem-grind for hours doing the same types of missions over and over again to get gear that hardly affects your overall experience. Even after that massive blunder, we're still getting fluff-riddled cash grabs like this.
I'll pour one out for the Marvel fans because if this happens to games and franchises I care about, I'll be annoyed as hell.
Yeah no. Its not a cash grab at all. Honestly if you spend money on this game and it isn't for a specific skin you want, you'd just be wasting money. Like homie said, its all free. They just want to see who's dumb/lazy enough to spend money. Also the game isn't convoluted at all. I really don't see how you'd at all be confused about what's going on in this game if you're coming from loot based games. Pick a character, rank up to make a build, play the game to get loot to do more damage, not complex at all. Beat the campaign, jump in with some homies, have fun. Yeah its gonna be repetitive, but you can't tell me in the first weeks Destiny/Division etc that they weren't repetitive. It's a grind but at the same time not really, not when you're having fun. Btw when I say you i mean anyone in general.
@James Cook idgaf if it's popular are not, dude. If you don't see how ASPECTS of this game are problematic, you're lying to yourself. This game is divisive for a reason, and it has legitimate flaws. Does it still have enjoyable bits? Sure. Could/should it be better? Also, yes.
@@MerK_San This game 100% did not need microtransactions, which are pretty much the definition of a cash grab. Its loot system also makes little sense in this type of game. It’s just fluff and barely affects gameplay.
You say they just want to see who is dumb/lazy enough to spend money, but that’s not exactly an approach or design that should be rewarded. Also, just because “games as a live service” games like Destiny get better over time doesn’t mean they should be excused for being underwhelming, grindy, and repetitive at launch with a premium price tag.
I know some people have fun with this game, and I'm definitely happy for them. Also, I’m sure it will get better over time, but it has legitimate flaws that deserve criticism as well.
Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.
Post-launch content will be free.
Gear matters. Not change you look, tho, but that's not a problem. The special effects and elemental effects change the gameplay and how you need to build your character.
@Lil Thooka And once a bunch of that is added, it may actually be worth its full price.
I'm having fun wit the game so far. Better than I expected. It's basically DC Universe wit a campaign(great story). Everything else is repetitive but that's expected for a game like this.
Jake, do the characters feel heavy to control as much as they look? Because oh boy, they look really clunky.
I personally think they all feel amazing. Hulks jumps can be weird if you hit things.
no not really, i tried the beta but of course some characters are more fun than others to play
I was wondering the same
CROS BONES in my opinion they do feel clunky. also in the final version of the game, can you turn down the camera shake? Honestly that made me hate the beta more than anything (even when my beta crashed and I wasn’t able to play it)
@@evandemitriou6079 yeah, i tried the beta. felt like crap
3:14 "HE SAID IT! He said the thing!"
This will be like hitman. They didnt nail it in the beginning, but you just wait until the sequel. Hitman 2 with all the mission from the first game blew my mind.
But apart from the new locations and a handful of weapons they didnt really improve or add anything. And this is coming from a big hitman fan, but personally i found hitman 2 to be a bit lazy and dissapointing.
Prometheus XV he’s probably talking about the newer ones
Lol yeah it only took 15 years to make a hitman game that wasn't a solid 6/10. You have more patience than i do to sit through a crap franchise in the hopes they eventually make some gold.
@@farts6499 yeah it wasn't the 'first' Hitman game, they literally ran the franchise into the ground with rubbish. And even then - the first reboot was really good and received positive reception. This comment is just wrong.
@@sephy980 Hitman 2 was lazy with the story and presentation of the cutscense lol
Hard for me to pick this up after the masterpiece that is Ghost of Tsushima. Thats how you do a game, no micro transactions, no we will fix this later, but a full fledged game.
Games like these reminds me of executives and publishers cynically smiling, "How can we get more money from the players?" Easy, we'll micro transaction them at every turn because they already love the brand like Marvel. 😄
After playing this game for quite awhile id say the microtransactions aren't what I thought they would be its really just being able to buy credits(which are earnable through playing) and the only use for credits is the marketplace which is just cosmetics and you can earn many cosmetics through just playing. The marketplace is also completely avoidable so I think its fine
@@jessej6574 Yep, I already know that. But its still there, nowadays more so in most big games in general. Not just this game. If its there, it will enable people to pay money for it, even if its not yourself doing it. Just saying, that's all.
@@WhyteLis21 since I can just completely avoid it im fine with it being there since it means we get years of free dlc
@@jessej6574 big cope energy
How are can we tho?
Guys, I own this game and I must emphasize one thing. There is nothing at all in this game you MUST pay money to unlock. Every single item in the store can be purchased with credits you earn from gameplay. There are no in-game credits that are only acquired by paying.
I noticed the reviewer mentions something like this at 7:45 minutes but I felt I needed to be specific. You can get anything in the store by simply playing long enough. It may take awhile, but it is true.
That's cool. Still not sure I wanna pay 60 bucks to grind my ass off.
I really like that you can earn the credits for the character battle passes and cosmetics instead of paying real money for it
Takes toooooooooooooo long that's bs sorry buddy 🤷♂️
Imagine if you couldn't in a full price game? Game monetization is getting so anti consumer that we praise when games let us grind the content without paying extra, after we already bought the game XD
@@4evermilkman TBH as long as it isn't Fortnite bad, I'm okay with it lol
@@lex_rodriguez at least Fortnite is free, but you are right
I grind in real life an this is not a grind noooo buddy! This is some gutsy shit to do u will grind stop an then buy it 😂 so in all in all if u want it u gone have to buy it or go steal or rob somebody in real life to buy this bs good luck on your not what I call grind cause eather u gone buy the stuff or not u not gone play an earn this not unless u have no life no job just nothing to do an even then after all that u might grind a few pieces of gear an get tied an say f this I'm gone buy it or u not it's a rock an a hard spot I like game but I refuse to spend a dime extra on it period!
The guy at 8:20 looks like Jake in ten-fifteen years. You’re good dude
IMO: This game is damn good
The beta got so much hate, but the beta is what made me pre-order it... Something I hardly do!
The combat at first seemed boring to me, but as you level up it gets more interesting.
Reminded me of Ghost of Tsushima honestly. Starts off simple, then right when you're getting used to the combat, you unlock something that changes it up just enough to keep it fresh. Plus, it rewards counters/dodges (etc.) as you get mastery over skills. It's damn good!
I think I can understand where Jake is coming from with the "it's repetitive" comments, but I also think it's made like that on purpose. There's a clear gameplay loop which reminds me of another big RPG: Monster Hunter World. The formula can be said to be "repetitive" (choose a mission, go into an "open" level, fight some stuff, get better gear, get new skills, repeat) but it is rewarding as you get stronger and stronger.
@AgentFlea Really appreciate it. Thanks!
The one thing that I think it is missing is a way to make your own hero to use in a freeplay area of the city. With it we could create our own custom heros or recreate heros from other franchises and make our own stories in the city.
That’d be cool now I want someone to make a game like that
Try DC Universe
