E3 2019 Post Review: Marvel's Avengers Gameplay Combat

Hey guys,

This blog post will give you an explanation on the Marvel's Avengers gameplay and combat.

It's still early days. But I'm really excited about the Marvel's Avengers after watching its trailer at E3 2019.

Storyline

The game began with battles against the Taskmaster. The name does ring a bell. Taskmaster previously appeared in the Marvel's Spider-Man game posing challenges as side missions for Spider-Man.

My point here is that Marvel Games and its corresponding team managed to bring relevance to the Marvel's Avengers game from the Marvel's Spider-Man game.

This means there's a continuation from the storyline in the Marvel series, which I'm excited about.

Gameplay

The gameplay, as watched in the video below, looks similar to the Uncharted series. The Uncharted series, in particular the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, adds more suspense to the gameplay with bridge-falling, train-falling, explosions and others.

That has been added to the Marvel's Avengers game, which could make you on the edge of your seat while playing the game.

Characters - Combat Modes

Another feature is that each character have different styles and combat modes. So, for example, Captain America may involve in air battles which tests your skills in travesty and precision in throwing his shield to the enemies. The Hulk may involve in ground battles that could require you to bash some buttons for attacking and finishing combos.

Stay tuned for another E3 Post Reviews. Enjoy the video below:

E3 2019 Post Review - Watch Dogs: Legion

Hey guys,

Great news for Watch Dogs fans as Ubisoft announced another series; Watch Dogs: Legion at recent E3 2019 in Los Angeles.

Previous titles were Watch Dogs & Watch Dogs 2.

Some facts: 

Name of game: Watch Dogs: Legion
Developer: Ubisoft Toronto
Published by: Ubisoft
Released date: March 6, 2020

Background

Watch Dogs: Legion will have multiple playable characters to play for as a member of the resistance: DeadSec. Your mission is to take on an organisation called Albion. 

The Albion is responsible for distributing flying riot drones all over London to keep people in line. So, the setting will be in London, UK. 

My Opinion - First Impression

I've never played Watch Dogs games before but have watched walkthroughs and trailers. So, here are my thoughts on the trailer: 

London Setting

Personally, I love the scenery and background in London. The place is more compact and the action begins at night. It makes the game more challenging as you have to squeeze pass through the crowds either to aim for the riot drones or to escape from it. 

The roads in London are typically narrow, makes it hard to overtake during the hit and run scenes.

Also, the dark setting makes it challenging for shooting actions, like when aiming at the flying drones. 

Multiple Playable Characters

At one point, playing more than one character can be challenging and interesting as you'll get to learn their different skills and personality. 

But playing multiple characters could be confusing as you'll need to learn and understand a lot of characters, which could deviate you from the actual story line. 

Graphics

It's pretty much similar to the previous Watch Dogs series, nothing spectacular so far except for being able to play in London. 

More to come..

E3 2019 Post Review: Marvel's Avengers at Square Enix

Hey guys,

As you've might known. This was a big week for gamers around the world, the biggest gaming event E3 2019 held at Los Angeles, US from June 11-13.

So far, many games unveiled at the biggest gaming conference. A few that have struck me and Marvel's Avengers is one of them.

Following the E3 2019 conference, here are some facts:

Game: Marvel's Avengers
Developers: Marvel Games, Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, Nixxes Software, and Crystal Northwest
Platforms: PS4, Xbox, Stadia & PC
Release Date: May 15, 2020

Features: 
1. Single Player Campaign
2. Online Co-Op mode
3. Characters: Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow & Thor
4. No charges on extra loot

My Opinion
Marvel's Avengers would be my second Marvel game after Spider-Man. I've been follow the Marvel's Spider-Man game since PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 4.

Role-Playing Characters
So, I expect the same on the Marvel's Avengers game. From the E3 2019 conference, character developments will be available and represents the main part of the game. Game developer, Square Enix would play a major part in contributing this role as they have done in their Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series, which I'm a big fan of.

Online Multiplayer Co-Op Mode
This should excites many as you could co-op with four players and battle it online. At the moment, I'm not sure how the online multiplayer would go and it's objectives remains unclear. Something that I look forward to. So, get your PSN subscriptions ready.

Graphics
This is the most important feature that act as the first impression among the rest. Insomniac game developer did really well to achieve the right balance between the graphics and action for the Marvel's Spider-Man game.

As for the Marvel's Avengers game, I hope for better game animation and smooth action since I'm still sceptic on the current game developers for this project. Only time will tell.

Storyline
Can Marvel's Avengers keep up the pace from the latest movie the Avengers Endgame remains to be seen. I'm still don't know what the game storyline might be.

Still early days so let's wait and see..

Then, approach from above the construction site stealthily so that the snipers won't notice. Once it is clear, takedown the snipers either by takedown (pressing triangle) or perch takedown (pressing square).

FISK Hideouts Walkthrough Part 3 - Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4)

Welcome to Part 3 of Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4) series on Playstation 4 Slim 1TB in taking-out Fisk hideouts.

We're at the north part of the Upper West Side, Manhattan, New York.

Upper West Side (North)

Bonus objectives are:
1. Perform a 20 hit combo
2. Hit 3 enemies with scaffolding

Hit 3 enemies with scaffolding
I'd start with this objective as it's the easiest. Find two enemies near the scaffolding while waiting for the third to join them. Once the 3 of Fisk enemies gathered, pulled the scaffolding (press R1 and L1) to hit the 3 enemies at once.

Pull the scaffolding near 3 enemies

Perform a 20 hit combo
Now for the slightly tricky objective. You'll need to perform a chain of combos on enemies up to 20 hits. Any bombs, bullets or hits from the enemy will stop the chain of combo.

Combine both ground and air combos to reach up to 20 hits, and be sure to dodge on any attacks from the snipers, punches and bombs. 

20 Hit Combos

Once, Spider-Man completes the two bonus objectives. You can focus on the battle by going through the six waves of enemies at the Fisk hideout.

Personally, always keep moving after eliminating one enemy to another since more of them will attack Spider-Man at once.

Spider-Man must keep an eye on bombs and snipers as they tend to have high damage on your health.

Alert #1: Bombs

Alert #2: Snipers

FISK Hideouts Walkthrough Part 2 - Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4)

Welcome,

This blog post will explain on how to take-out the enemies in Fisk hideout in Marvel's Spider-Man PS4 on PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB.

The second location of Fisk hideout is at the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York.

Upper West Side

Bonus Objectives:
1. Perform 3 Stealth Takedowns
2. Throw 10 Objects

In this video, I will use the Spider Armor MK II body armor suit powers, web strike and finishers on during the battle.

First, you'll need to scope out every enemy's location. Always take-out the enemy that is alone, away from his gang members.

Perform 3 Stealth Takedowns
To complete the first bonus objective. Take-out the three enemies, using perch takedown, on your left and right of the construction site.

First stealth (perch) takedown - SAFE indicator

Second stealth (perch) takedown - SAFE indicator

Third stealth (perch) takedown - SAFE indicator

Throw 10 Objects
The second bonus objective, Spider-Man needs to throw 10 objects on enemies in Fisk hideout, by pressing L1 and R1 buttons. This is easy as you only need to reach for the nearest 10 objects and throw to the enemies during the battle at Fisk hideout.

Press L1 and R1 to throw an object

Spider Armor MK II - Body Armor Suit Powers
If you'll notice that I'm also using Spider-Man's body armor suit powers, which deflects most bullets.

Body Armor suit powers deflect bullets

Personally, this hideout is a bit hard than the previous Fisk hideout because the snipers are well-guarded thus making it hard to take them out soon.

Once Spider-Man completes the 2 Bonus objectives. Then it's a matter of surviving six waves of the battle at the Fisk hideout.
