Marvel's Avengers (Square-Enix) [PS4, XO, PC, XGP]

They only went and added DLSS 2.1 to it:

Ultra performance mode and support for dynamic resolution scaling (a must in this game according to DF) included!

What a shame...

We’ve also made the decision to shift our PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S launch to next year to ensure that we give our team the time to deliver a next-gen experience showcasing all that this game is meant to be. More details to come.

That's interesting. The Digital Foundry analysis suggested that the PC's ultra settings were equivalent to next gen console (likely just speculation) but the performance was seriously punishing with even a 2080Ti unable to hold 4k 30fps without dynamic resolution scaling if I recall correctly. I wonder if this is less about bringing better graphics and more about further optimizing the existing ones. If so then hopefully those optimisations will be ported back to the PC version.

Wow!

At least they got some money for Sony exclusive content, right?

Wow!

Good! More of these disasters and they’ll eventually stop making them.

Possibly, but I'm not 100% sure if Spider-Man is available yet on PS4. But I'm 100% sure I'll never purchase this mess, not even a 80% off Steam special would convince me.

Bad products deserve to lose money.

Honestly, even free it’s not worth your time. They should pay people to play the game.

I told my son to wait until it was $20 and he didn't listen to me and paid full price and he is not impressed.

Well thats one way to learn sometimes parents know a thing or two...

Honestly that’s how I felt with my partner who is still playing this game, but I can see that he’s only playing it to make it look like it was a good buy - he’s right and I’m wrong - as evidenced by the fact that he turns it on, plays for a bit then leaves it after a few minute.

Is that part of a drinking game? Everytime you hate the game, drink. Maybe he's going to get more to drink.

LMAO, my wife does this crap too. Whenever she's wrong about a purchase she'll pretend a problem doesn't exist, then l'll find the damn item buried down in her closet whenever I'm sent on a mission of finding something.

How they spent 100 million and ended up with this game deserves a story.

98 million going to Marvel, 2 million to put together some software thing that kinda looks like a game but it's actually a virtual turd made of crap?
