I was typing something snarky because not all of the images had loaded yet, but then they did right before hitting post and I felt like an idiot...
Anyway, mantis/doreen/wanda let's go.

Doesn't look like a game where that matters much as long as its fun to play and more than a couple of heroes can hold their own.
I didn't get chance to play the beta and its free so nothing lost if its pump. It will get 5 minutes of my time and goes from there.

Aye, I usually have a bit more time to optimise the gifs but picked it up late as one hadn't appeared but at least there's an OT for all the gaffers who check this out

Im here for the chaos of the launch months where everyone is scrambling for the meta.

Do we know if this is going to require XBL/PS+? Unless I’m mistaken, PSN usually doesn’t require a membership for free to play games but XBL still requires one in some cases correct? Trying to find this information but not seeing it anywhere.

Nice Masonic number there, game looks cool so I'll probably give it a try. Hope it becomes big and overtakes Overwatch. But I probably won't be staying long just like Overwatch since it's not really the type of games that makes me stay for a long time.

It may be the next big thing in the F2P landscape.

It's not Danny Rand. Truth be told no one gives a shit about any incarnation of Iron Fist. Barring not having broken advantages he will be one of the least played characters in this game.

None of the characters portrayed in this game are their MCU counterparts.

Yes they are. Storm is Ororo Munroe, Spiderman is Peter Parker, the Punisher is Frank Castle, etc. The Iron Fist in this game is a successor Ironfist introduced more recently to Marvel Comics in the main universe(616) not the original Danny Rand who often partners with Luke Cage.

I guess he meant he thinks the character isn’t popular period even in the comics? I don’t know why that matters, I think people will end up wanting to play characters who just seem fun regardless of comic or mainstream popularity, look at how much attention people looking into this game will bring up Jeff the Shark and Squirrel Girl for example, and those two have had no MCU presence, and the former has only been in the comics for a few years now, and the latter, despite being around for decades, only got her first solo comic last decade.
Regardless, even if it’s Lin as Iron Fist and not Danny, I could easily see them offering a Danny skin with different voice lines to reflect it’s a different guy, for example, Dead by Daylight does that with certain licensed characters like (for the Resident Evil chapter) a Chris skin for Leon with different voicelines, same with a Claire skin for Jill.
That’s assuming Lin and Danny’s powers and such aren’t too different from one another, I’m admittedly not a big Iron Fist reader myself.

I'm weirdly excited about this game despite that Overwatch 2 exists which is higher quality and also free. I think it's because it brings up memories of when Overwatch launched when nobody knew the meta or team strats. It was just picking your favorite characters and having fun.
Also, holy crap, the discord already has 100k+ people in it? Is this game primed to blow up and be the next mega hit shooter?

I never understood why people would buy skins for Overwatch when you can't even see your character.

Eh? They are still not based on the MCU so I'm not sure what your point is.
Mister Wolf

They are exactly based on the mainline MCU with the devs even listing the comics for the different skins when those outfit debuted in the comics. Like the "Green Scar" outfit for Hulk which debut in the Planet Hulk story arc in the main Marvel Universe.

Guess I'm blind then because they all look and sound different to me. And to be fair I don't even know who "Iron Fist" or "Squirrel Girl" are so I guess you're right.

Are you confused about the acronym or something? Because MCU means marvel cinematic universe, as in the movies/tv shows, not the comics.

Is it still a spam fest or did they slow it down so strategy and involvement from the player makes a difference? I'm sure high end ranked matches might have some of that but the public matches I played during one of the tests were just chaotic spamfests
Mister Wolf

Sorry for the confusion. I meant Marvel Comics Universe.

Yea looks like a game I wont take serious, just a good late night drunk type of game. Going to give this and Delta Force ago over the weekend.
For the low low price of $19.99 they'll sell you the true version of Iron Fist (eventually.)

Well I'm very surprised. Game launches almost never go smooth but I've actually been able to play out of the gate. Been loving it like I did in the beta. It's just fun.

Played for a bit. Don't think I'm gonna get into it. Most of the characters I played didn't have a style that appealed to me, yet I can comfortably play and have fun with most heroes in Overwatch.
So many comparisons to Overwatch but this game lacks everything that makes that game special. I don't see any reason to play this over that if I'm going to play a hero shooter.

didn't expect this to go live already, guess I'll call it early with CoD today and head into this.

One of the best launches I've experienced. Game is awesome, and a lot of fun. They've already added so many characters, I'm really looking forward to what they add next.

Played a few rounds. Pretty fun but it seems like balance has been thrown out the window. But then again Overwatch was pretty unbalanced at launch too. I guess we'll see how things shape up over the next weeks/months, but it's off to a strong start.
