Ms. Marvel Has Made Me Interested in Marvel’s Avengers Again

OnlySP's Rhain Radford-Burns: "Square Enix revealed that Ms Marvel, Kamala Khan, is one of the main characters in the game—and now I am more excited about Marvel’s Avengers."

Am i the only one that thinks her entire character looks like something a 5th grader would come up with? Like a winner of a kids design a hero competition?

I don't know, im just not getting why everyone is buzzing over this character.

Hardiman2427d ago

I'm an artist by trade and I have no idea how they thought these renditions of these iconic characters would fly! The men look bloated and they all seem to have the most generic looking faces.

VTKC2426d ago

Thats because you are an artist-a person who draw with your creativity. These people on the other hand only create things for the sake of wokeness, and how to make it fit the politically correct agenda.

-Foxtrot2427d ago

People buzz over the character even when the live action series was announced but the truth is her comics were never that good, just the fact she’s a different race they can market well to show how diverse they are and when you exploit race to sell or market a character then that’s pretty shitty its self

Seriously if you ever get time read her comics they are nothing special

Hardiman2425d ago

I have Fox and it seemed almost offensive to me because it seemed her whole hook was just her ethnicity.

AK912427d ago

@foxtrot I agree with you completely Ms Marvel (or at least this version of her) has always been a lame and poorly written character with only her ethnicity being the only thing that was unique about her but surprise surprise that makes for a very boring and uninteresting character.

That being said Miles Morales was exactly the same way when he was introduced in the comics but both the Spider-Man game and Spider Verse movie made him an amazing character so its not impossible to do the same with Ms Marvel although what we're seeing her makes her just as uninteresting as her comic counterpart.

bluefox7552427d ago

"Everyone" isn't buzzing, just the gaming media, for reasons that have nothing to do with gaming or comics.

rainslacker2426d ago (Edited 2426d ago )

No. The renditions make her look more like she has some physical deformity than some kind of super power.

I'm still unable to verify that she's an actual avenger...not that that distinction means anything in the marvel universe anymore

Sorry I just have absolutely no interest in this game. Which is sad because I'm a huge Marvel mark. I love the MCU films and love, love the Spider-Man game Insomniac delivered but this just doesn't do anything for me.

I’m so ready for Suicide Squad to fill the Avengers void in my life

Marvel’s Avengers didn’t soar properly on PS5 and Xbox, but Kill the Justice League looks like it will improve on it in every way.

I can’t work out if this guy is just being sarcastic

Leeroyw855d ago

This website pumps out one shill article after the other. Does not qualify as journalism.

ShwaaMan855d ago

Said the guy who just got a big check from WB.

YourMommySpoils855d ago

Does that mean it will have a thousand pointless costumes like Avengers did, not related to the game or source?

"Guy who's excited for Suicide Squad to fill the void left by The Avengers' closure."

I'll be checking it out on day one of release.

Why Have Many of the Online Multiplayer Games of the Past Five Years Failed?

Here's a look at why so many online-multiplayer games from the past five years have struggled to retain players and their attention.

ChasterMies957d ago

Or put another way, why don’t people want to invest in an on-line storefront?

sparky77957d ago

It's simply FOMO.

Gamers always go back to their staples like COD or Fortnite. Those games have constant content and leaving them for another game means getting left behind. Why start a new game and be behind when you can stay with a game you already excel at.

ZycoFox957d ago (Edited 957d ago )

COD is replaced every year or almost every year, it has no time to hold a player base. 3-4 years is a good timeline for a sequel IMO if the game has enough content to begin with, maybe add a couple of free content updates a bit later after release if needed, and job done until the next game.

Soldier of Fortune 2 was one of my first few online FPS games apart from RTCW and a couple of others, and that had a couple of free patches which added in new weapons, maps and a new game mode in just a year or so. I hope the series makes a comeback, I heard MS owns it now and it has been dormant for a while.

The only sequel that came fast (just 1 year later) that impressed me with extra content over the original was L4D2, makes me wonder what happened with Valve. If they can do that in one year then what have they been doing since..

-Foxtrot957d ago (Edited 957d ago )

Because it's not about putting out a fully completed game packed with content and something that actually works

It's about putting something out broken and barebones, slowly drip feed content with a roadmap and offering tons of MTs which they hope people will buy.

I miss when you'd just get games like Killzone or Halo and they'd get a couple of DLC packs then the developers would move onto the next game. Problem is they started to be influenced by COD where future games had to have gimmicks, weapon mods, loadouts, killstreaks and other shit which just become about what you had unlocked rather than skill.

The last multiplayer game I really enjoyed was Uncharted 2s, it was literally just two boosters and everyone started with the same weapons. It was great and felt like it was more about skill but then we got Uncharted 3 and 4 where the COD influence creeped in thinking that everything had to be bigger rather than sticking to the fanbase they had.

Nitrowolf2957d ago

i agree. i used to love MP games for these titles, and be excited about the map packs and such. now it's we will release one mode and one map, and see how people take to the game. Flops? cool move on.

isarai957d ago

Even before the PS3 generation ended, I was already longing for a return to simplistic MP without all the XP, booster, perks, and ridiculous custom loadouts full of op exploitation. Like there's definitely a huge audience for that, but there's NO classic style simple MP modes anymore, I'm just asking for some

ZeekQuattro957d ago

Most people don't have the time to invest into playing multiple GAAS and stick to just one. It also doesn't help that so many games in that field only have a roadmap laid out for the first month or so. Hard to keep people invested when you don't give them a reason to stick around after the initial launch month.

excaliburps957d ago

Yep. I know what you mean. I can't play more than 1-2 live service games at a time (this includes shooters) since it's just so overwhelming.

shinoff2183957d ago (Edited 957d ago )

My theory , well online gaming just sucks, so many online games recently that if done the right way could've been dope ass single player games. One that comes to mind evil dead. What a waste of the title
