Q&A
I'm just hoping T'Challa is the main character tbh
Pretty sure it’s a panther before him, cuz it’s set in WW2 or something
Isn't that the Captain America x Black Panther Game? Or is it the setting for this too?
Two different games homie
Wrong game, you're thinking of 1943.
Oooh dang they are making 2 panther games? Crazy times haha
I truly miss the olden days when we had super hero games everywhere lol.
Gotta capitalize on a man's death.
Using the less morbid reason they're probably going with, the character probably won't be used in the big screen (without giving the role to a new character) so I guess game studios are allowed to have more freedom with the character than with all the others.
Wow!!!!
Here kitty kitty!
So his Dad?
His grandfather (Azzurri, who my dog is named after) but also, as stated here. That is a completely different game than this post is about
Different game entirely.
Completely different game
I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to customize your own black Panther or something
Calling it now: this game will be loot boxes / micro transactions and paywalls infested
Ultimate edition lets you play as T’Challa
FTFY.
The Vergil approach
Ultimate edition let's you play as MCU T'Challa. Otherwise you get the standard, game-design-that-isn't-as-cool T'Challa from the standard booster packs.
if you preorder now you'll unlock the wakanda forever emote
Otherwise, in cutscenes where characters do it to you, your Panther will reply with an emote of pulling out an empty wallet and checking for pennies XD
Wrong. You only get the T'Challa skin.
Everything else is unchanged.
“Evolving world” suggests that this is exactly what it is.
That's what they mean by "dynamic and evolving" meaning they give you barely anything and constantly "evolve" it by adding more things in, for a price.
I have some hope because EA did produce the GOTG game and that had no loot boxes or micro transactions etc. and it genuinely was a fun game. But that studio doesn’t exist anymore from what ive heard so idk. I just hope that KTJL will make these companies learn. Ubisoft doesn’t count cause they do the opposite of what everyone wants
EA always finds a way to screw their audience
I didnt feel screwed with both jedi games and GOTG, but they release so much games that 3 isnt the best track record. Im optimistic but if any company can fuck anything up its EA and Ubisoft
Jedi: Outcast & Survivor were both messy, and buggy at launch. Eventually fixed.
Somehow used dlc for gear. But you can unlock things as you explore
GotG from Square-Enix was in a bad spot, due to Avengers being a huge mess. Not many trusted SE after
The GOTG game is from Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics, not EA.
What gave it away, the first word?
Honestly EA is gonna milk it everywhere they can
Their comment reply is still the most downvoted of all time. The stupid one about loot boxes in one of their games and how it would cost 1000s of dollars to unlock all the content.
Don't lose faith, if you analyze the current situation in gaming it appears we are at the last stretch of predatory live service games
GTA: Wakanda
I'm imagining GTA V's map... but you have to literally run/walk everywhere.
Why tf this game is "open world" is beyond me.
It's probably as much an open-world game as Arkham City was.
You know the black panther/dora milajae have a jet right? Also you know Wakanda is the most technologically advanced nation in the world right? I'm sure they will figure out a logical way to incorporate fast travel
Just kidding. Good point.
If they give you good traversal systems like in Arkham or Mordor it won’t be a problem
That's true. I really hope that's the case.
Agreed. It would be horrible if they created a map like GTA but then expected you to walk around on foot. But they could create a much more condensed map specifically designed with a fast paced, unique traversal system.
Did you ever play The Incredible Hulk game? I loved jumping around the city
I didn't but I always heard it was really fun.
They wish.
My favourite comic book game is Crystal Dynamics' Guardians of the Galaxy. Characters, story, environment, all pitch perfect, even if the gameplay was more of a 7/10. Replayed it recently with my partner and she loved it just as much.
That game was fun and the story was dope too. Wish they’d do a DLC or more content but I guess I can always replay it
How's that relate to this post ?
Video game adaptation of comic book character
Ah gotcha
Lmfaooo how stupid are you 😂😂
EA though :/ at least it's not ubisoft
EA is hit or miss. They can create amazing games, for example their Jedi games, but they can also create really underwhelming ones filled with micro transactions. Let's just hope for the best.
Someone recently pointed out to me that EA’s single player games generally are enjoyable. Jedi, Dead Space remake, etc. It’s really their multiplayer games where their execs just can’t help themselves and charge you to breathe in the game
Jedi was created by respawn (which also made titanfall 1 and 2); EA has corrupted other projects like bioware's mass effect 3 and dragon age.
It must be said that in the end Mass Effect 3 turned out to be an enjoyable game (the problem of the ending aside) and it seems that after all the interference to make Dragon Age 4* a live at service they have understood that it is better to be a single player, leaving in peace Bioware, but obviously we will have to see an official revival to judge it better.
*I'm talking specifically about this chapter because I was following its development, but I admit that I only know superficially the various problems that the team had in developing the second and third chapters despite still finding some decent commercial successes (which ultimately matters for the publisher).
Of course it is.
How many Wakanda Coins is it gonna take to access all the skins and content? How many pulls at the heart shaped herb for the optimal kitty claws I need to carve a path of destruction through my foes?
So innovative
better than live service garbage like Suicide Squad
Not really
yeah really, that shit was terrible
This isn't better. They're both just as bad in different ways.
It is funny that you had to brand war it when you could've just mentioned the avengers being terrible shit garbage live service game that's already been killed.
I’d rather play suicide squad than another single player collectathon.
you and 11 other ppl
Just don’t give it a season pass and I’m all on board
Edit: I meant battle passes.
you mean battle pass right? season passes are just cheaper ways to get the expansions
Oh yeah you’re right, I got those mixed up
Why not? Multiple great comic book games have season passes.
I can’t think of any unless you count the Avengers game, Guardians of the Galaxy game, Gotham Knights, and Kill the Justice League as good games. I personally don’t though.
Spiderman PS4 and the Arkham games had season passes. Those games are critically acclaimed and beloved. Guardians is a good game, too.
guardians of the galaxy was a fantastic game, and also had no online features or season pass so idk how that got in the list
Ugh, a game based on job posting? That'll fail.
Hopefully there's more to the game, i've spent some time looking for a job, and can't see it being a fun story arch.
I wonder if the narrative manager controversy will play a role in the sales of this
Possibly, controversy rarely ever does though. Most people outside of Reddit/YT don't tend to care about the goings on behind the scenes. My friends all like Marvel and Black Panther, and will likely buy this game, but I'd be surprised if any of them could even tell me what the controversy is let alone have an opinion on it
What’s the controversy?
A narrative designer created an indie game a few years ago and openly stated she doesn’t hire white people.. while stating the same exact things people who historically hire only white men would say.
The problem is the specific words she used instead of simply stating it’s a team of strong game developers that are all people of color.
And this racist bitch is now making this game? I hope people will remember that when it's about to drop. I'll certainly remind them.
It’s too early for that. Everyone’s already forgotten
Even if the game is fine, I have a feeling people will still shit on it for being woke and what nonsense for the story
Cat in a sandbox eh?
Could’ve gone with literally any other dev
Open world sandbox with narrative and gameplay objectives? how quaint.
It’s EA tho 🤢
So, a live service, pay to play thing.
Skip.
How?
Evolving open world is code for: we intend to drip feed updates until the game is no longer profitable.
