So, my time has come to return to Marvel's Avengers The Video Game. And my old friend hasn't Seemed to change it's ways. Let me explain.
I
The Bugs
Many of the bugs I talked about in my previous post about this game are still present. For example, falling through maps.

That was a capture taken just a few minutes ago! Clearly Crystal Dynamics has been working on this game a lot, just on the wrong things.
II
Gameplay
Not much has changed, really. The major lag spikes have dumbed down, and the game is a lot more playable than it used to be. It also feels more fluid and I see less combat-related bugs so, good job on this one CD.
III
Black Panther
The King, as always is incredible. He feels so smooth, and it feels like you're genuinely fighting bad guys as him. His Right Trigger ability allows him to throw a Vibranium Spear that acts like Thor's Hammer, sticking enemies to walls. His Left Trigger ability makes him use Kimoyo Beads, which protect him and kill enemies. And his Middle Ability, is called "Bast's Chosen." It unleashes a huge Panther to storm in the direction you're facing while giving you an outgoing damage increase against foes, and an incoming damage reduction. His ranged attack just allows him to throw Vibranium Daggers. I cannot speak about the Campaign because I haven't played it yet. I'll make a sequel post to this one once I do.
IV
Cosmetics and Microtransactions
Still a bit pricey, but these are worth it. All of these I'm going to mention are $14 USD as of posting this.
The Avengers 1 and Avengers Endgame Captain America Skins are phenomenal, making this dude look drippier than ever. Totally worth the money, shield hasn't changed however, and looks a bit wonky on him. But that's my only complaint.
Black Widow has the skins from Avengers Endgame and her own movie, while Tony and Hulk have their respective skins from Endgame. And so does Hawekeye.
However some other skins are still overpriced, soooooo. Eh?
V
Interface
There is an entirely new UI, that compacts everything about your character into one tab, for example, your cosmetics, right there. Your emotes, right there. Your takedowns, all there. Even the armor and artifacts are there. While it is compact, instead of having to hover over a certain piece of armor, and it shows you the others you have, you have to click on it in order to take you to a new page. Much more tedious in dismantling and equipping armor, and I highly prefer the old way. Other than that however this is also Decent. Good job CD. :+1:
VI
Conclusion/Is It Worth Playing? (Or Buying?)
The Bugs still ruin the game, and the UI is gonna take some time to get used to, but it isn't as bad as it was before. I wouldn't recommend it at the original price. I would only recommend it on sale. I need to see more dedication from the devs just to make sure that you guys aren't wasting your hard earned money on a game that is dysfunctional, unplayable, or just plain bad. Crystal Dynamics have been working their butts off to get this game a little bit better and that is respectable. But the game still has some major issues that need fixing, and this game will meet it's end if it doesn't fix them. Everybody involved with this game needs to work harder so the fan base can be pleased, and make a comeback like Star Wars Battlefront II did.
If you've already bought and played the game before, is it worth coming back? Yes! Totally! Again, all the new features make the game a bit more enjoyable not to mention the slightly newer enemies of the latest expansion's campaign. But some of the bugs you might have dropped the game entirely over, are still there, sadly. Besides that though I totally recommend popping the disc back into your tray (if you know, you know) and hopping back on again.
This has been Cody, and I will catch you Marvelites later!
