Why did the Crystal Dynamics Avengers game fail? It had great graphics, it had probably the most popular IP in the world at the time. I played it, it was actually quite a bit of fun once you had built up your character, maybe a little harder than it needed to be in the beginning, but I don't think that was enough to really kill it. It had a ton of technical issues, but so does every major release these days and games like Starfield still make a half billion in a few days.
Why did it die, and what could have saved it?
They advertised it primarily as a Destiny clone and pushed end game character building instead of the game's story. Also, Kamala Khan was the "eyes of the player" relatable MC which was a massive mistake. If Spider-Man was slated to be added to the game anyway through DLC, Peter should have played that role. Everybody loves Spider-Man.
Umm it's MILES MORALES now, you bigot?!?!!?!?!!?!??!
Arent Spiderman's game rights sony's?
No, Sony only owns the movie rights to the character
Nah, see MUA3 or the recent Midnight Suns game. Both have Spider-man in non-Sony consoles.
Being a pay to win game and basically have been all the biggest problems of big marketed games.
It wasn't really pay to win, the only thing you paid for was costumes that didn't matter. And regardless, those pay-to-win games succeed all the time. They're only a problem on gamer forums.
They sell XP boosts and Rate Up's for drops. They also tanked the XP income values right before releasing those microtransactions
I dunno man. I loved the co op stuff personally. But then again I love melee based co op action dungeon crawlers.
the gameplay wasn't really up to par with what people wanted, the monetization was kinda toxic, and i think it frustrated people that Spider-Man is still a Playstation exclusive hero.
?si=XwDiTqrYj3vysjoj
i always felt like the gameplay comparison between Avengers' Spider-Man and Insomniac Spider-Man highlighted why Avengers just doesn't feel that great to play compared to other superhero games.
Costume design is Insomniac Spidey is also better too. I have no idea what they were thinking with the lenses inside of the eyes for his normal suit. It looks creepy, like the lenses for Superior Spider-Man’s first costume, or headlights.
i agree anon, solid observation
You know how CD was never really good at story telling? With this game they can't even tell a basic linear story because this bro shows up and spoils 3/4 of the games the moment you enter the live service part.
>grey temples, hair, and blue suit like the based nick fury
>still made him black so that mcu fags will recognize him
that shitty movie universe has fucked everything up
He was black in the Ultimate comics before the movies ever did him.
the 1610 ultimate universe is fucking shit. every character that isn’t spider-man is either a retard, a rapist, or a complete douchebag.
The Ultimates was very well regarded before everything was taken over by blue hairs.
People hated Ultimate Captain America for years though.
I wouldn't call them people.
The fuck are you on about? People in 20 fucking 05 were already laughing at how ridiculously edgy and over the top The Ultimates were, the 1610 universe was being carried hard by Ultimate Spider-Man, since he didn't become a huge fucking asshole in that version, just believably a little more angry and reckless as a teen is, and 616-Peter was for a while in his early days.
Not true. Ultimates 1 and 2 were carrying the brand, until they brought in a washed up Loeb and the world's worst artist to fuck it up. Ultimates was so well regarded that you can largely credit it for taking the Avengers concept out of the bargain bin and turning it into the world's biggest brand.
>Not true. Ultimates 1 and 2 were carrying the brand
Holy shit, you are rewriting history at this point, Ultimate Spider-Man reigned alone, The Ultimates was nothing to it.
>Holy shit, you are rewriting history at this point
He said, while rewriting history. Ultimates was an enormous hit, despite all the delays in getting part 2 finished, and a huge influence on Favreau's idea of the MCU. You weren't alive for it, so your only idea is how blue hairs got retroactively upset at Captain America acting like a 1940s soldier and not a redditor, but back then people recognized it as very good.
>The only nick fury ill ever aknowledge.
Imagine hitman style fury game.
>Why did the Crystal Dynamics Avengers game fail?
it was fallout 76 bad at release where the rain was still image inducing seizures, it was packed microtransanctions without any fanservice even to capeshit sloppers
Inflated budget due to the expensive Marvel license and being AAA
It was released at a time when the Marvel craze was winding down
It was another loot grinder in a market already oversatured with them
Used aggressive monetization schemes.
Ganker blames the campaign's MC being the muslim girl no one likes or Spider Man being Playstation exclusive; both of those are just the cherry on top of a terrible cake.
Kamala was actually well done here, probably the only time she wasn't a bad character. CD will never get the proper credit for it.
Objection Kamala Ms Marvel is great in her solo series.
They need to do a run where Kamala and Carol's relationship turns romantic before its too late
>They're not pak. *pure
Just according to keikaku
Can you run that by people who don't speak religious tenets of any religion?
Do you seriously think this is good?
Imagine shilling a shitty character because you have a brown girl fetish.
Literally no better than the weeb waifufag retards infesting this place.
Kamala Ms Marvel Half a million paperbacks before the series ended.
Oh, the Kamala cocksucker who lacks an elemental grasp of the English language.
I'm surprised you only started posting now.
Personal attacks on who's making the argument instead of actually arguing against the actual argument with a personal attacks being irrelevant to the conversation at hand now you're just resorted to rude teenager tactics .
Oh come on.
Let's not pretend you don't resort to said tactics, like the cheap "filtered".
What are you even talking about?
filtered retarded cunt bitch
8 years, 7 relaunches, and that's what you got to show? For the push Kamala Harris got she should have sold 1 million copies the time the 3rd run came around.
The Marvels will be the final nail in the coffin for anything concerning both Carol and Kamala, Marvel will stop trying to push them after that.
fuck outta here, Brie Larson may be an awful Carol but there's nothing wrong with Captain Marvel as a character. unless she's too blonde, blue-eyed, and white for your shitskinned taste.
>8 years, 7 relaunches, and that's what you got to show?
At that point I believe it was one relaunch for battle world.Her ongoing never had seven and there's a lot less paperback issues then single issues. It's like five single issues for 1 paperback.Is she also appeared in other video games besides the one you want to say is hers without complaints.
>sales means a thing is good
Someday, evil like yours will be purged from this world. And the violence will be cathartic.
Can you define woke and CRT?
she's just a repackaged reed richards with some extra touches
it's so hilarious that shitney's attempt at diversity is to simply copy the powerset of previous actual heroes and try to put their own little gay twist on it with racialism and politics shoved into a specific representation
kamala khan is fucking gay as hell and anyone who supports her shit is a modern day sensibilities gay retard that has been successfully conditioned by corporateslop to enjoy the useless low denominator propaganda slop they are pushing out so they can suddenly "be even more diverse", cuz you know, diversity is only skin-deep and actual diversity doesn't exist unless someone is a totally different race and is a darker hue than other surrounding heroes!!! xDDDD
fucking gay you're a shitter and everything you shits all over vidya and comics
have a nice day gay cancer
i fucking hate you and your fucking gayshit and the preachy limitations and realismmorony you bring to fantasy
yeah thats why they killed her off unceremoniously in a fucking miles comic.
You don't even know what you're talking about see what's killed off for MCU synergy to come back as a mutant and it was a Spider-Man Peter Parker comic not miles. Stop talking when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
being killed off in a comic means less than nothing
lol, no Kamala represents everything that's wrong with Marvel, MCU she's like an anti-coomer, women don't like her
She was great here
It was a series of factors:
The first impression is the one that sticks and the characters are very ugly with realistic costumes that nobody asked for.
It seems to be the worst of the MCU, as anyone who buys games likes the MCU, which is home to women wearing costumes that look more like burkas. The game is centered on Ms. Marvel, the worst character created in Marvel, no one likes her, the game has nothing that gamers like especially cheesecake, the plot is bad and predictable this game is the fruit of the woke era, strong female characters but without charisma and beauty, annoying and arrogant the game looks like it was made to be a sales failure.
>with realistic costumes that nobody asked for
Realism was the dominant request for this sort of material for many decades. Captain America's uniform being a modified soldier's gear is much better than head wings.
"more realizm!!"
realismshitters represent the death of fantasy and creativity. not only do they intentionally uglify everything, things which were okay, like leotards, are magically not, and everything in the comic world suddenly must be restricted by real-life logic.
kill realismshitters
they are a poison to all creativity
the only good realismshitter is the one who stays in the woods and leaves vidya alone
not everything needs to look like a gay anime
if you want realism in your vidya game, you should stop playing vidya and stick to LARPing in real life
games don't need any more retarded realismgayry being limited by specifically modern sensibility virtue-signaling.
if you want more realism, you and your kind need to turn off your computer and step outside
stop trying to be a cancer and poison everything with your lack of utter and total uncreativity
Gay post, gay ideas. Glad the industry ignores you.
t. vidya must be realistic or relatable to real life or i can't get into it!!!
LMAO
just look at how much of a homosexual gay retard you truly are
>gay realismmoron thinks everything needs to be realistic
and this is why and your kind are a cancer
you are literately too stupid to say anything longer than a one-liner few worded sentence to anything which criticizes your infantile dependency upon reality to stimulate your interest.
you will always be a retarded cancer that poisons everything around you and brings it down to your mental midget level
Didn't read your post. You're still gay and irrelevant.
>tripling on his newgay retarded ways of dependency
fucking kek
>you're still irrelevant
>realismgay diversity-first Avengers game fails
didn't your CD game flop flat upon its face? fucking LMAO
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAH
LOL
have a nice day. Cap’s suits suck in this game.
There's literally a cell shaded version in the game.
So?
irony
That you had to pay for.
Only a problem if you're an unemployed brown neet.
Squeal, pay-pig, squeal.
You're the impoverished neet, not me. You'd squeal for a buck fifty if I offered it.
Nope. It's completely free. All the GaaS stuff has been removed from the game and everything that was in the store is now free.
>The game is centered on Ms. Marvel, the worst character created in Marvel, no one likes her
See
Disney or whoever owns the Marvel rights will make Avengers games based on the comics and forget about the MCU, each game a different phase from the comics, just like the new Dragon Ball and Demon Slayer games.
>Realism was the dominant request for this sort of material for many decades.
The realism here follows the MCU pattern, women not being allowed to wear leotards, it's a bit strange for those who like Marvel comics, it's a Disney mistake and it's really hurt their pocket, but have they learned that fans are the ones who should be pleased?
It's still janky as fuck right now even after 2+ years.
Pressing button prompts for finishers or interactables while other things are happening or going through the menus too fast may cause events to stop working, needing you to reload the checkpoint or entire game.
AI and enemies still get stuck on walls even though none of the stages are procedural-generated. The flying drones especially have a tendency to glitch through walls.
Then you have random glitches like pic.
Also, not a glitch but Hulk is still using the same low camera as other normal sized characters so he blocks 70% of the screen, which is very problematic since combat prompts aren't brought to the foreground like in bamham/ubishit.
>The flying drones especially have a tendency to glitch through walls.
This was really frustrating, especially on the longer maps. It was already really hard to get a multiplayer session going, and then that would just kill the whole lobby.
I was already frustrated by the glitches when playing it solo and I can't imagine how bad it is when multiplayer.
>Make an Avengers game at the peak of its popularity, but don't pay for likeness, so now you have dollar store stand-ins
>Make a grindy looter game when people just want a simple Avengers game
>SE is in charge
The game was doomed the second it was announced to be a live service game. What made it worse was because of how shitty this game was, it got people not to buy the GotG game, which was shockingly great.
>Make an Avengers game at the peak of its popularity, but don't pay for likeness, so now you have dollar store stand-ins
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 went with comic book designs and did fine, even when it didn't sell Elden Ring numbers.
The issue will always be the way the game was designed. The TLOU and Horizon franchises along with the Spider Man PS4 game show that they really didn't need to do that GAAS bullshit, people love their focused single player games.
Yeah but that's just it... MUA3 COULD go with the comic book designs due to its art direction. in CD Avengers? They were going for movie realism without the movie licensing, resulting in the default designs looking jank as shit.
>Make an Avengers game at the peak of its popularity, but don't pay for likeness, so now you have dollar store stand-ins
These characters existed a long time before the movies, and it isn't like the Arkham games paid for Christian Bale and they still did fine.
The difference is people are used to Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker having different faces in live action
But Robert Downey Jr. IS iron man to a lot of people because he’s the only actor to play him.
Terrible setting, terrible gameplay, terrible story, and above all GAMES AS A SERVICE mechanic, it was right in the middle of the push for Kamala Harr, I mean, Kamala Khan's push towards the mainstream audience, a nobody being touted as the main character for an Avengers game was forced beyond belief.
>Terrible setting, terrible gameplay, terrible story
None of these are true though
gaas game and kamala easy skip glad it lost a hundred million bux LOL
Bad game.
> le upgrade parts even for superpowers
> couldn't even get the likeness of actors
> puts us in the position of le quirky stretch girl who has yet to show up in movies so no one knows who the fuck she is
> released after infinity war/endgame, essentially the end of the MCU that isn't a hot load of shit
> """Dlc characters"""
> Spider-Man, the most commonly known marvel hero since the beginning of the 21st century, even before iron Man, was PlayStation exclusive
It's like Sony has a hold of the rights of Spider-Man even beyond film
> shit writing, using modern day bullshit like a reddit for information or over the top quirkiness to act funny
I can forgive all that, and hell, would be inclined to play it. Only 1 thing finishes it off that no one will remember this game and won't be bothered to play it, only to find cutscenes on YouTube:
> live service game and cut off dates of no more support and updates
Why the fuck would you play a game that doesn't get any support because of sales? SE didn't have a plan after step one, which was to just acquire the license expecting the game to just sell by name alone like the movies.
>it was actually quite a bit of fun once you had built up your character
how long did that take?
It's Kamala going to be in the next X-Men game?
>the next X-Men game
we'll never get another one, just generic all-marvel stuff or wolverine's solo game
>An inhuman and a mutant
Does she have Saiyan blood and a Sharingan too?
She got mutant blood independently from how she was born with Inhuman DNA the whole mutant thing is for MCU synergy which we don't know why she's a mutant in it yet and she was created in her first issue within Inhuman DNA and cyclops has a major soft spot for her which is how she came back as a mutant Not.even sure if she got any mote powers from it yet .
>we don't know why she's a mutant in it yet
she's a mutant because Disney is ready to do X-Men stuff and the Inhumans tv show flopped hard.
>X-Men
*x-peoples
>she's a mutant because Disney is ready to do X-Men stuf
So are they planning for her to be part of the team on the first X-Men movie?That seems like a weird choice.
They don't want her to be an inhuman because Inhumans is tainted.
by 2030, probably
the skinner box market is already saturated and addicts don't change games
loot and crafting is tedious and boring.
No one gives a single fuck about Poojeetna
Rubber powers are so disgusting-looking.
They only look fine when used by goofy characters like Plastic Man or Luffy
Are her powers even rubber?
She's technically a polymorph that can change her looks completely but she only does rubber-stuff in this game.
I want her to make out with an older Carol
marvel has been trying to make people give a shit about her for a decade straight and it still hasn’t worked out for them.
This
but let them lose money with her, it's funny to see.
They went after the market of little Indian girls who love Hulk and Captain America. It's like making a truck driver movie starring a paralyzed midget. Only an idiot would approve something like that.
>game as a service
>why is it bad?
the answer is squeenix being out of touch and their western studio talent being lukewarm. license is not enough to sell a 50-60$ game. if rocksteady's batman had been batman begins licensed tier it would have come and gone instead of becoming a franchise, if shadows of mordor hadn't caught word of mouth with the rival system it would have been an instantly forgotten lotr hack n slash like all the rest. the new spiderman games are successful because of insomniac's pedigree and being pushed as system sellers by sony, nobody gave a shit about the web of shadows era when they were in the licensed game dungeon of activision.
the avengers looked like a 6/10 with extremely arrogant monetization.
>boring safe photorealism instead of a fun distinct art style
>all enemies are robots, the most boring type of enemy
>combat is jank and enemies are damage sponges
>too much focus on loot
>main character is some brown girl mr. fantastic wannabe
could have been fun, but someone told the devs to focus on grafix and cosmetics instead of gameplay
>too much focus on loot
the worse part is that the whole game is scaling so the loot stats literally don't matter and you're just trying to up your ilvl to access the ilvl-gated content.
>main character is some
to be fair this a pretty common trope in these extended cast pantheon games, your pov is some wimpy trainee character and then you assume the role of the cool heroes during missions.
Bitching about Avengers' RNG loot is pretty ironic given how much Ganker cocksucks games designed around RNG loot like Nioh 2 or Transformers Devastation.
Japanese developer bias as usual?
Stats matter in games like Nioh because the scaling isn't as agressive. Like
said, they're only used to gate content, nothing else.
Except that's exactly how it works on the Nioh games, to the point where the Souls-esque stats don't matter in the long run
I used cheat engine to give myself better gear and the difference in power level was very noticeable. That's actually one of the problems with the game, every hero plays and feels great when you have great gear, but I would have to endure 30 hours of RNG grinding to get there.
anons are tranime poisoned
Women looks like trannies
gamers hate that
Game was dead by the time they added those skins
online centric GAS bullshit
Opening "gameplay" is running around collecting comics as Kamala. It is probably the worst opening of a game that I've played in recent memory.
woke story
white male characters are all written as weaklings and idiots that get rescued or told what to do by women all the time, yet you never see a woman being rescued by a white man or a woman being written as stupid or weak for comedy.
every guy is super sexulized and has at least one shirtless outfit but women are all flat chested and got their cleavage censored
hyper sensitives
no facts
don‘t ask if you only get triggered by peoples statements
its actually pretty fair criticism
especially for a super hero game
It isn't because its shit that doesn't exist outside of hyper online terminally RW imaginations.
>stop noticing facts!
>facts are political!
>it's only political when you disagree!
>but if you agreed with everything, then it's totally not political!!!!!!!
XDDD
You're coping strategy falls apart when you realize that what you're noticing isn't a fact. You've had your mind poisoned by memes, green text, parasocial websites, and anime. If you were smarter you'd look around you and see how everyone else is much happier than you, and thereby realize that you've gotten something wrong. But you aren't smart, are you?
>my vidya themes are not political

If he does blackface and an over the top accent I'd watch it.
honestly, me too. I think he'd do a great fucking job. He'd so serious and raw and he'd really bring the believability of the whole thing into picture.
I'd also it if everything was swapped, like Christian Bale doesn't wear blackface and is just white, and meanwhile all the blackies are trying to tell him to get off the fucking bus and hooting and hollering at him.
It was extremely poorly written. The actions of the Avengers was completely out of character for all of them. "We failed so we all quit" What? None of these characters quit when things get rough. That's literally what they've all been doing for decades. That's literally why they are who they are. Then the game is headlined by a character that nobody cares about that can't sell comics or get people to watch their TV show. Then the game literally has less than a handful of villains in it, so you're stuck fighting the exact same villains repeatedly. I'm sure people are sick of fighting Taskmaster and Abomination, etc. ad nauseum. Everything about it was bad.
Nobody likes it because it looks like a bootleg MCU with even less charm, and it plays like shit. The costumes really suck too, since they went with this mostly realistic design for a vast majority of them, and that made them incredibly boring. They also designed them off the idea that they’re all canon, so more outlandish costumes and character swaps are a no go, and there’s tons of recolors. The story isn’t any good either.
There wasn't enough variety in the enemies and content. If they scaled back on the graphics and made it more like Ultimate Alliance or Marvel Heroes with a shit load of characters and things to unlock, it would have done a lot better.
Do people actually like the Ultimate Alliance games? How did 3 do?
One was pretty fun for what it was.
Two was a simplified and scaled down version but was still fun.
3 was amazing..Best marvel game ever made..seriously..its a shame it was a switch exclusive
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. What was so good about it?
Kamala Khan. Baffled as to why Disney and Marvel were/have been trying to establish her as a more front and center character.
yeah it's a mystery how they do the same thing with every single thing they do nowadays
>Used Ms Marvel instead of actually classic Avengers elements
>Inhumans plot when evetybody considered them the less cooler X-men.
>GAAS
They really messed up big time.
It's shit next to Marvel's Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy.
The thing I hated most about this game was it caused a entirely different game to flop (Gotg) just because everyone thought it was related to it. Even though it's really good and the best modern capeshit game
Fuck avengers
>every single enemy is a robot or a Taskmaster/Abomination clone
>You'll probably just care about playing 1 character
>You'll get bored of KILL LOOT RETURN before you even finish the campaign
Steam says the character you play as is some sheboon so I'm not playing it.
Will Suicide Squad do any better?
shitty game
game about feeling amazing in a society that frowns upon being physically fit (unless you're in a job that "justifies" this)
story not interesting
people not interesting
and it's a Marvel game which means they missed their target audience by 10 years
Oh and instead of playing a cool toon or at least making one yourself CoH style, game wants you to play as an unattractive OC when plastic man was an option
In most cases, marvel heroes are fun to watch or read about, not so much to play unless it's hard focused on a character.
A Spiderman game works because the whole game revolves around his dynamic and characteristics. A Hulk game works around destruction and mayhem. An Ironman game revolves around how the suit would function and if it plays like a great TPS game. Any gun heroes would all play the same, and Captain America in a game like this makes him the most boring to play.
Let's not forget the random "epic loot" item grinding that the game didn't need at all, just use a fucking skill-tree like Prototype and be done with it.
The main reason I stopped playing this awful game was the intro, I don't want to play as literally who fake new 2010's era hero, I want to play as characters that matter.
Unrelated, but I hope the next Iron Man game feature rollerblades.
Only War Machine can rollerblade now
Why?
He's zesty.
But that's wrong? Rodhey is the cool headed one while Tony is super zesty.
>Rodhey is the cool headed o-ACK
Game was dead before it was out because people didn't want to give it a chance. An early victim of the current tortanic culture that spread out from Ganker and consumed the hobby, combined with terminally online types being angry they didn't get another Deus Ex Solid game.
Retard
Live Service.
Simple as.
It had shit game play, a mediocre story, and Spiderman didn't come on time.
Spider-man was only the BETstation anyways so it wouldn't have mattered.
It looked like shit from top to bottom from the very first reveal. Between being late on the Marvel train, being more GaaS garbage, and focusing on characters and villains nobody cares about, it was doomed from day 1.
>make single player action game
>suits want the big looter shooter that's all the rage now
sony being a greedy retard and demanding for spidey to be ps exclusive only killed the game faster
Tbh Spidey isn't a avenger character... Now character like Antman, Wasp, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Spectrum....
to make a good cash grab you need to make good cash grab
>but how?

Does this game have any nude/sexy outfit and big titty/ass mods for the female characters?

Go fuck yourselves capeshitter, deus ex died for it and I never asked for this
that slop wasn't deus ex, it was metal gear solid weeb shit from speedrunner devs who stole someone else's name to slap onto their game that nobody would have played otherwise
What are you talking about? Gotg or nu deus ex?
nu deus ex, but I guess you can apply it to gotg too, nobody would be playing the game if not for the marvel ip, and really even with it nobody played it
Looter shooter (or puncher, whatever) that was release 80% complete like every other looter game out there.
>GAAS that you have to pay full price to pay before you get taken to the cleaners

It was always doomed to fail. The writing was on the wall as soon as the DLC looked like dog shit and everyone realized their favorite hero would never make it into the game, so why start supporting it at all
Its bad because its a shit game with boring gameplay and there are a 10000 game out there that are better
Name 10
They made the poo the MC.
I keep considering picking this up when it's on sale for dirt cheap, then remember I have to play/interacr with the poo for the most of it and don't bother
Bad campaign. Clearly started out as a regular co-op game and got cludged into live service slop. Didn't offer enough as a live service (very small roster of characters for one thing, compare it to Marvel Heroes). Buggy as shit (saves stored locally, easily corrupted). I could go on. The combat was fun and punchy, but so much about it was completely fucked. I consider Fallout 76 (at launch) to have been a better live service game, and you saw how people reacted to that.
For anyone not in the know, all the GaaS stuff has been removed from the game. You don't have to log into anything to play the game. Everything that was in the store is now free. In game events are now tied to your system clock. The game can still be played single and multiplayer after September 30th because it's now P2P unless your a consoletard that still needs PSN or Live to play. Oh, and the game while a shit ton better without all the GaaS bullshit is still a piece of shit.
Well, that's more than I expected them to do. I wish more companies would try to get their live service shit to work offline... or at least release the server code so someone can try to get it running again for enthusiasts.
The game is also on sale for 5 bucks on psn before it gets removed from the store FOREVER
>comes out a year after Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
>gets mogged by it in every conceivable way
hilarious honestly
like anybody gives a shit about Ultimate Alliance 3, especially when it was a Switch exclusive.
If it had been some open world adventure game it'd certainly have been successful.
If it had been a linear cinematic movie game it probably would have been successful.
Trying to go for GAAS was dumb and it's clear they had no idea how to do it. Due to their "story", they avoided feature a wide assortment of super villains and mostly had robots as enemies, which doesn't lend itself at all to replaying content over and over. The progression system (locking movesets) also meant a worse first impression. The mix of GAAS and story here just brought problems for both sides of the game, rather than combining their advantages.
