Marvel's Avengers - The Definitive Edition

[Xev]

Man what is up with the shutdowns. DC Legends is shutting down and I just saw the notice on Steam that the subject title is shutting down.

DC Legends (good mobile game!) is going to poof when they shut the doors on Halloween.

For the people that own a copy of Marvel Avengers TDE (PC), the devs and support are going away but the server is staying up. There is also a note about

The Marketplace has been unlocked!

but I don't know How unlocked..

What does this mean?

Nearly all MCU- and non-MCU-inspired Outfits, Emotes, Takedowns, and Nameplates are now automatically available on your Hero Card.

Whatever that means! I don't think you can spend any money with them after the shutdown due to they converted everyone's positive balances with them into in-game currencies (I think it was).

Anyway, I never played the game but the graphics in the videos look sweet and they have the game marked down to 4 bucks on Steam until the end of September. The only way to be able to download the game from Steam after the shutdown is if you already bought it. Apparently it can be played solo or multiplayer.

Dug up a couple YouTube videos that were made after the shutdown announcement and final patch and everything in the store was made free. They have a lot of gameplay video and commentary on the good and bad. The second one is kinda long..

I'm leaning towards grabbing it just due to it's 4 bucks and has amazing Marvel universe graphics and video. (Did I read they lost hundreds of millions of dollars on this game..?) The system requirements look pretty forgiving, too.

The single player campaign thing and store unlock sounds worth the price of admission. Am hoping the multiplayer play isn't so glitchy that it totally ruins it.

Looks like a lengthy download..!

It's a very big download, which i now have to do a second time. I installed and chose what looked to be the single player story which put me on a glitchy shield carrier as iron man. after floundering around for 5 minutes looking for the tutorial area i found it and proceeded to be bored to tears by the tutorial which just kept going. I decided just to watch the story on yoobs and uninstalled. Cut to me watching the yoobs and i evidently selected the wrong game mode, as the intro/tutorial on there was really well done and organic. Turns out the mode i was in was some jump right into endgame or something (which makes one wonder why it had a tutorial, but who knows).
