@@sws212 The Marvel MMO game that was like Diablo managed to do a lot better than this, and it had wayyyy more characters. You can balance a game and still cater to each of the character's abilities. This was just lazy all around.
It would be a bit more work to make a game with missions you could complete by sneaking in with Black Widow, smashing through the front door with Hulk and breaking everything, the middle ground of flying hit-and-run attacks mixed with close combat proficiency of Thor and Iron Man, or by ignoring Captain America in the character selection. Like the various loud/quiet ways to complete missions in Hitman or Splinter Cell. You approach a target building as Black Widow. She draws your attention to her ability to rappell across from the building opposite, infiltrate through the roof and sneak in. Inside you have combat that's like the sneaking sections of Arkham Asylum, mixed with hacking, stealth, and such challenges. As Hulk you smash through the front door and fight your way through waves of goons. Iron Man and Thor could attempt to go in either the roof or front door, or go through an upper window and use their flight and speed for hit-and-run attacks, use their close combat proficiency to slug it out, or a mix. These are the jack of all trades characters. Or you could play frisbee with Cap, playing a more tactical version of Hulk's method as he isn't a bullet sponge like Hulk. It would be a challenge, but it would be doable. Most importantly, it would make each character feel unique, and make us feel like Black Widow/Hulk/etc.

All I’m gonna say is - black widow was the best character. But honestly as a massive fan I was disappointed considering all they could have done with it
It’s pretty fun when you get some friends start leveling up, and then you realize that Widow can be invisible forever and deal a lot of damage although she can die with a single hit
Kenneth Vera blas I think my issue is - I don’t have many friends that have this game and it’s difficult to do online as you and the other players all want to do things. I was mainly in it for the story but the multiplayer elements in the story made it hard
To me, it felt like Cap and Widow's gameplay felt like they had the most weight. It all just felt rushed, from writing to gameplay. Subpar at best, try again. PS4 Spiderman still holds more water than Marvel's Avengers.
Ben Anasarias I mean I prefer repetitive beat em up over repetitive Ubisoft map clearing. Granted I loooved Spider Man, i feel this game HAD/HAS more potential for gameplay loop, once Spider man and the DLC were beat I didn’t really have incentive to come back.
When I heard Square Enix was making an Avengers game: "This is gonna be the best superhero game ever. With the amazing animation and designs Square is known for, and their over-the-top cinematics, this is gonna be a wild ride." Marvel: does whatever this is Me: "is it at least a good rpg?" Marvel: "..."
its crazy how outside of the mmo city of heroes and the batman series, game companies so often screw up superheroes, Given the power fantasy of video games, they should work better than normal guys with ninja skills, or normal soldiers with guns. but for soem reason they cannot find the fun.
@@PedricCuf freedom force, i forgot about that, we definitely need another one of those, thanks for reminding me. and point taken on spiderman as well, i forgot them as i was on xbox last gen.
OMG, when Matt suddenly started explaining why he was intro'ing the video, it finally snapped for me. You have my condolences Shelby, it cannot have been easy to listen to all the ranting. I appreciate it!
Avengers fans: "Man, our game was a glitchy mess that wasn't much fun to play." Star Wars fans: "You to huh?" Ok, quick edit just to clarify and not start a war: I really enjoyed both Fallen Order and Battlefront 2, I've been playing them since day one of their launch, but the way BF2 was handled throughout its entire life span was just bad. The game is great now, super fun, but they cut support just when it was getting really good because they spent a quarter of its lifespan, that should have been used for post launch content, fixing their crummy progression system which should have been good from the start. Let's be honest, it wouldn't have taken a damn genius to figure out that the original wasn't gonna fly with consumers. Good? Good.
To be honest they did Nier: Automata, and helped with Life is strange. Cut them some slack, we know they are not the worst. We fear, however, that all of them may be turning grey...
Sirris Mendoza Sunless Realms not to mention ff7r, I feel like this could be something to blame on marvel’s side because aside from ffxv, they do not want to put out games that aren’t finished until it’s spotless. Like they learned from xv so it just seems weird that they’d put out something like this unless they were only doing it to fulfill their contract.
They almost had nothing to do with it tho ,they were mostly the publishers and owners of the studios ,it was entirely done by crystal and eidos and uses the game engine developed by crystal that eidos also worked on for tomb raider but people at enix wouldn't work and learn an entirely new game engine when it's not designed to be used by masses in the first place not to mention the visuals and story were completely different from what they usually do and response to an above comment ,they didn't make nier ,they published ,you can't give credit for that to them ,its like activision published sekiro ,ea published fallen order, Bethesda published doom and there are other examples bethesda didnt make doom they own the studio that did. This should kinda be common knowledge I mean.
The boyfriend having more time involved in the video is awesome, you both have brilliant personalities! It's amazing how I used to come here to laugh and recycle jokes to make my gamer girlfriend laugh, now it's one of the best ways to find true honest reviews. Love you guys.
As someone who bought and played the game, the story's pacing is terrible. The middle of the story is just plain bad. I mean they managed to make ant-man the most boring hero. The gameplay loop and even the rewards are kinda terrible and I mean all the rewards. The game boasts a ton of skins for each hero, but really there are like 5 for each hero and the rest are recolors. oh, you like the hulk? here he is in a suit and here he is in the same suit in blue, gray, pinstripes, and black. So every hero might have like 20 skins, but only like 5 are different from each other. Kamala gets it worse as most of her "different costumes" are her just changing her shorts and shirt. you can get comics, but they're just the covers and they give you a minor buff you don't really feel. you can get nameplates, but unless you have a huge tv you don't really enjoy them. I mean you also get emotes too, but you'll probably barely use them. As he points out the gear does nothing and I honestly feel like I'm just watching numbers go up, a 10 power gear doesn't feel that much different from a 50 and it doesn't really encourage you to pick out the best gear for a situation, you mostly just hit the button to upgrade your gear and scrap what's not useful anymore. I paid full price, but I'd wait till black Friday( or whatever equivalent they're doing this year) to pick it up.
Oh my gosh the joke with obi wan literally made me fully laugh out loud, because that IS ME. I really highly appreciated the opening intro. Just to put it out there, It would be absolutely EPIC if y’all did a video of either/all Lego Star Wars TCS, Sonic unleashed 🙌, and Donkey Kong country returns-tropical freeze. DEW IT.
Why though? Why does everyone try to turn these games into single player games? We have a lot of single player superhero games, why do we need more? How original is that? No one goes to a fighting game going "My problem with this game is that it isn't a single player narrative driven game." Huh?
Roose Bolton this isn’t a fighting game. There’s combat/fighting in it, but it would be better as a singleplayer game. That way your own experience doesn’t depend on the cooperation of random people you don’t even know.
This was a really well written and insightful review. I’ve watched several different videos grilling/dissecting this game and this one was the most succinct while explaining things in terms that an average casual gamer/consumer can easily understand.
@@New_Frieza I never really read the Marvel comics when I was a kid! I've always liked superhero movies & the MCU have shown me characters I've never heard of, so always up for more!
Don't blame you, they made the villains a joke in this game. The Abomination shows up out of nowhere and just leaves the story. Modo, basically a living computer, is made to look like an idiot for not being able to figure out Tony's 123 level password (which is stupid in of itself)
This channel is the only video game review channel where I come back to rewatch videos simply because they’re so funny and well done. Just fun to watch. Well done.
Ms. Marvel about her powers "Still working on making it not look goofy" Meanwhile Eiichiro Oda the writer of One Piece intentionally gave his main character what is a similar ability because he wanted a power that would always have a comedic and light-hearted element to it.
Remember when there was a week's hiatus on luffy's gear 4 transformation and everyone came out with cool and badass version of gear 4 but it turned out a big balloon which absolutely kicked mingo's ass while looking cool that's what I expected with kamala khan but turned out okaish
Ehhh, I would rather they just remaster Deus Ex(2000) for PC and next-gen consoles instead of trying to make a bend new Deus Ex game. The last two games were pretty terrible in terms of writing and how poorly they tried to handle and appropriate real world subject matters into the games in a respectable or meaningful way. I would rather they just distance themselves away from the franchise outside of a remaster of the first game until they hire a better writing team that actually knows how handle real world subject matters properly and respectively. As it stands right now, their current writing team just isn't cutting it at all for the franchise.
I’ve literally seen so many clips of Mass Effect footage in so many of girlfriend reviews videos but have yet to see a video of girlfriend reviews Mass Effect😭😭😭

The level of detail in these videos gets me everytime.
All I’m gonna say is - black widow was the best character. But honestly as a massive fan I was disappointed considering all they could have done with it
It’s pretty fun when you get some friends start leveling up, and then you realize that Widow can be invisible forever and deal a lot of damage although she can die with a single hit
Kenneth Vera blas I think my issue is - I don’t have many friends that have this game and it’s difficult to do online as you and the other players all want to do things. I was mainly in it for the story but the multiplayer elements in the story made it hard
Hannah Doyle yo add me, same issue haviebabie44
To me, it felt like Cap and Widow's gameplay felt like they had the most weight. It all just felt rushed, from writing to gameplay. Subpar at best, try again. PS4 Spiderman still holds more water than Marvel's Avengers.
Ben Anasarias I mean I prefer repetitive beat em up over repetitive Ubisoft map clearing. Granted I loooved Spider Man, i feel this game HAD/HAS more potential for gameplay loop, once Spider man and the DLC were beat I didn’t really have incentive to come back.
Damn bro matt has gotten so good at narrating
When Shelby didn't come in the intro I was like "yo !! You guys broke up or what ?!"
Missed a chance to say, "Are ya ready Thor?" "Aye aye, Captain (America)."
When I heard Square Enix was making an Avengers game: "This is gonna be the best superhero game ever. With the amazing animation and designs Square is known for, and their over-the-top cinematics, this is gonna be a wild ride."
Marvel: does whatever this is
Me: "is it at least a good rpg?"
Marvel: "..."
its crazy how outside of the mmo city of heroes and the batman series, game companies so often screw up superheroes, Given the power fantasy of video games, they should work better than normal guys with ninja skills, or normal soldiers with guns. but for soem reason they cannot find the fun.
@@ryanweible9090 Freedom Force and Spiderman 2 were both excellent superhero games...from 2002 and 2004. Yowch.
@@PedricCuf I mean the new Spider-man game was super good. To quote IGN, "You feel like Spider-man".
@@tristanjanisse1678 I have heard this, but couldn't include it, as I haven't played it. I will someday, though!
@@PedricCuf freedom force, i forgot about that, we definitely need another one of those, thanks for reminding me. and point taken on spiderman as well, i forgot them as i was on xbox last gen.
Never knew batman’s catchphrase is “I am Ironman”
You know this game sucks when Shelby start to talk so loud
It's booty ? But I like booty ! Booty is good. And this game isn't. Cease the booty slander and rename the video at once !
here here
Indeed my good sir. I for one agree.
Old man booty didn't fit on the title.
It's a polite way of saying this game is ASS
Liam Mellon I like ass, nothing wrong with ass.
OMG, when Matt suddenly started explaining why he was intro'ing the video, it finally snapped for me. You have my condolences Shelby, it cannot have been easy to listen to all the ranting. I appreciate it!
i can't unsee the subwoofer now..
The God of Wub-wubs and Dubstep.
Avengers fans: "Man, our game was a glitchy mess that wasn't much fun to play."
Star Wars fans: "You to huh?"
Ok, quick edit just to clarify and not start a war: I really enjoyed both Fallen Order and Battlefront 2, I've been playing them since day one of their launch, but the way BF2 was handled throughout its entire life span was just bad. The game is great now, super fun, but they cut support just when it was getting really good because they spent a quarter of its lifespan, that should have been used for post launch content, fixing their crummy progression system which should have been good from the start. Let's be honest, it wouldn't have taken a damn genius to figure out that the original wasn't gonna fly with consumers. Good? Good.
Genius *Tips Hat*
Amazing
Star Wars fans: "First time?"
shhh, don't tell them it was Disney
But Star Wars games are fun
It´s already time for a BB and The office review. Almost every video has a reference. I knew this channel this month, the content is gold.
The most negative review on this channel. Congrats Square Enix.
To be honest they did Nier: Automata, and helped with Life is strange. Cut them some slack, we know they are not the worst.
We fear, however, that all of them may be turning grey...
Sirris Mendoza Sunless Realms not to mention ff7r, I feel like this could be something to blame on marvel’s side because aside from ffxv, they do not want to put out games that aren’t finished until it’s spotless. Like they learned from xv so it just seems weird that they’d put out something like this unless they were only doing it to fulfill their contract.
They almost had nothing to do with it tho ,they were mostly the publishers and owners of the studios ,it was entirely done by crystal and eidos and uses the game engine developed by crystal that eidos also worked on for tomb raider but people at enix wouldn't work and learn an entirely new game engine when it's not designed to be used by masses in the first place not to mention the visuals and story were completely different from what they usually do and response to an above comment ,they didn't make nier ,they published ,you can't give credit for that to them ,its like activision published sekiro ,ea published fallen order, Bethesda published doom and there are other examples bethesda didnt make doom they own the studio that did. This should kinda be common
knowledge I mean.
They were pretty rough on Jedi Fallen Order, and they received a lot of downvotes because of their negative review.
It's actually marvel/ Disney's fault. Square enix is a good gaming company but disney wants family friendly games which is aim for kids.
The boyfriend having more time involved in the video is awesome, you both have brilliant personalities! It's amazing how I used to come here to laugh and recycle jokes to make my gamer girlfriend laugh, now it's one of the best ways to find true honest reviews. Love you guys.
The only two words from the title that registered in my mind were girlfriend and booty
"I wish I was having more fun right now" hahaha
I love how angry Shelby gets in this. More please 😂😂😂
As someone who bought and played the game, the story's pacing is terrible. The middle of the story is just plain bad. I mean they managed to make ant-man the most boring hero. The gameplay loop and even the rewards are kinda terrible and I mean all the rewards. The game boasts a ton of skins for each hero, but really there are like 5 for each hero and the rest are recolors. oh, you like the hulk? here he is in a suit and here he is in the same suit in blue, gray, pinstripes, and black. So every hero might have like 20 skins, but only like 5 are different from each other. Kamala gets it worse as most of her "different costumes" are her just changing her shorts and shirt. you can get comics, but they're just the covers and they give you a minor buff you don't really feel. you can get nameplates, but unless you have a huge tv you don't really enjoy them. I mean you also get emotes too, but you'll probably barely use them. As he points out the gear does nothing and I honestly feel like I'm just watching numbers go up, a 10 power gear doesn't feel that much different from a 50 and it doesn't really encourage you to pick out the best gear for a situation, you mostly just hit the button to upgrade your gear and scrap what's not useful anymore.
I paid full price, but I'd wait till black Friday( or whatever equivalent they're doing this year) to pick it up.
0/10, buy if discounted?
Oh my gosh the joke with obi wan literally made me fully laugh out loud, because that IS ME. I really highly appreciated the opening intro.
Just to put it out there, It would be absolutely EPIC if y’all did a video of either/all Lego Star Wars TCS, Sonic unleashed 🙌, and Donkey Kong country returns-tropical freeze. DEW IT.
This game should've been a single player narrative driven game not a multiplayer destiny rip off
Daft!
Why though? Why does everyone try to turn these games into single player games? We have a lot of single player superhero games, why do we need more? How original is that? No one goes to a fighting game going "My problem with this game is that it isn't a single player narrative driven game." Huh?
Roose Bolton this isn’t a fighting game. There’s combat/fighting in it, but it would be better as a singleplayer game. That way your own experience doesn’t depend on the cooperation of random people you don’t even know.
@@Aeeeoi He has the Batman games in mind.
@@Aeeeoi Look how amazing Spiderman was. And how dissasterous this Avengers is
This was a really well written and insightful review. I’ve watched several different videos grilling/dissecting this game and this one was the most succinct while explaining things in terms that an average casual gamer/consumer can easily understand.
When Shelby loses it talking about the wack gameplay, I felt that.
I’ll say this - I love this voice actor for Thor, this game may be terrible but the voice actor Travis Willingham is on POINT
Critical Role FTW!
Hell yeah, Travis and Laura FTW. I really enjoy playing Thor and Black Widow in this game too.
the game has some stellar voice actors. But that's all it's got going for it. tis a shame.
Critical Role never let us down
Travis also happens to voice Knuckles the Echidna from Sonic and Roy Mustang in FMA/B
I love how at 1:27 when they start showing licensed games that it plays avgn music in the background
We gotta acknowledge the achievement it is to flop an Avengers game
Sharkboy & Lava girl, that did actually go through my mind when seeing the villain at the end! lol
@@New_Frieza I never really read the Marvel comics when I was a kid! I've always liked superhero movies & the MCU have shown me characters I've never heard of, so always up for more!
Don't blame you, they made the villains a joke in this game.
The Abomination shows up out of nowhere and just leaves the story.
Modo, basically a living computer, is made to look like an idiot for not being able to figure out Tony's 123 level password (which is stupid in of itself)
@@New_Frieza I know it's hard to believe, but the average person doesn't give a shit about comics. You'll just have to get over it.
Me: Can I get a Luffy?
Mom: We have a Luffy at home.
The Luffy at home:
0:28 captain america's got his EYE on you o_O
jesus thats terrifying i didnt notice it the first time
And his other eye is on Bucky
He's gotta keep an eye out for selener
He's got you in his sight
Loved the AVGN song in the back ground
This channel is the only video game review channel where I come back to rewatch videos simply because they’re so funny and well done. Just fun to watch. Well done.
That MODOK comparison to the teacher was genius.
That James Cameron Wendy's joke made me laugh out loud.
Matt is a great voice on this channel. Can’t wait to see more
Ms. Marvel about her powers
"Still working on making it not look goofy"
Meanwhile Eiichiro Oda the writer of One Piece intentionally gave his main character what is a similar ability because he wanted a power that would always have a comedic and light-hearted element to it.
The difference is that Oda is not a mere mortal.
@@BreakRaven no manga artists are. That consistency of minimum 20 pages a week is god like.
Remember when there was a week's hiatus on luffy's gear 4 transformation and everyone came out with cool and badass version of gear 4 but it turned out a big balloon which absolutely kicked mingo's ass while looking cool that's what I expected with kamala khan but turned out okaish
@@BreakRaven you mean GOda
That really sums up the state of the entertainment industry.
Man, I really hope Eidos Montreal can make another Deus Ex after this.
Sadly, if Avengers is anything to go by, they'll be forced to make the next Deus Ex a loot grinder as well.
Ehhh, I would rather they just remaster Deus Ex(2000) for PC and next-gen consoles instead of trying to make a bend new Deus Ex game. The last two games were pretty terrible in terms of writing and how poorly they tried to handle and appropriate real world subject matters into the games in a respectable or meaningful way. I would rather they just distance themselves away from the franchise outside of a remaster of the first game until they hire a better writing team that actually knows how handle real world subject matters properly and respectively. As it stands right now, their current writing team just isn't cutting it at all for the franchise.
1..2... and shutdown
@@NoExplosionsMcgee I worry about you. Do you have any Band-Aid with you? You might need it with all that edge...
Ok, the subtle AVGN music was a really nice touch. Props!
So glad I found this channel. Bingewatching material 101
congratz on 1 million subs!!! HYPERS
their 1 million subs studio reveal video was awesome!
constantly getting your ad on your videos is perfection
I love that you used the AVGN tune thats such a nice addition :D
They'd rather eaaaaaaaaaaaat
I believe that “boyfriend” is perhaps the best combination of game journalist/video editor/critic in the world. Not hyperbole.
Fun fact: Kingdom Hearts is actually a lot better when the box has the wrong disc in it.
I’ve literally seen so many clips of Mass Effect footage in so many of girlfriend reviews videos but have yet to see a video of girlfriend reviews Mass Effect😭😭😭
There is an danger she will never come back from it, trying to get every one to hook up (as you can)
Me before GR video: ”Avengers is... Ehh”
Me after GR video: ” *DISNEY’S MARVEL’S CRYSTAL DYNAMIC’S SQUARE ENIX’S AVENGERS IS BOOTY* ”
Okay damn the way he introduced the video was immersing that I forget its has to be shelby reviewing it.
Nice work Matt.
Hope to get more video from your side too, where you talked more about game in bf perspective too.
Girlfriend reviews of Fire Emblem Three Houses pleaseee
OMG YAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!! Please GFR
YESSSSS
What game is that? I played a game called Fire Emblem Three Waifus on the switch. So many hours on it.
Black Eagles FTW.
@@venares76 if they have to choose one, blue lions is the way 😂
"Sir, this is a Wendy's" was it for me lmao!!!!!
I love your videos! How do you guys find literally the best clips from media? Literally the most tiny moment in a funny show or movie that you pick and it fits so perfectly i love it.
I don’t event think the REVENGERS can fix this...
But I’d like to see them try.
Marvels avengers: I wish I was having more fun right now edition 🤣
5:51 Excited Shelby is my new favorite thing
"Press buttons you jackass!"
Even when they showed off their gameplay in a preview, I thought this looked like a boring 3D brawler from 2006. I'm looking forward to the oral history articles about what went so wrong with this game.
