Cosplay Avengers, assemble!
Fun AND good looking so far. Got a few hours in, voices have stopped bothering me. Bedtime. More tomorrow!

Qs so far: There's no button to take a picture in photo mode? You have to go into share menu and take a screenshot there? DUMB if true.

As I gather, it's not supposed to be the movie cast--
It's the print characters brought into line with movie canon (which Kevin Feige wants to do now), so they don't have to pay image-royalties to Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo.

And we know it's a synthesis of "Future Phase IV" movie canon with print, since Kamala Khan is now pushed into a lead role, they skip over her "Inhumans"-tied origin from the print comics, (as MCU is done with that), and Black Widow is seen fighting the Taskmaster. They're certainly putting a lot of bets behind next year's movies and Disney+ shows.

It was never supposed to be the movie cast. But we are so tied to the MCU these days that rebooting to new cast introduces disconnects.

Everything You Need To Know About Kamala Khan, The Star Of Marvel’s Avengers

When you think of the Avengers, you think Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, and Black Widow, comic book characters who’ve been around for over half a century. The main character in the Marvel’s Avengers video game, however, has only been in existence since 2013. That makes it pretty easy to...

Campaign finished. Natalya sucks completely. Had to punch it down to easy to finish her final fight, there was no way to beat final boss without getting wiped out by unblockable stuff. Everything else was doable on Normal. Frustrating but not gonna cry over it.

This whole process fucking sucks.

Don’t Delete PS4 Avengers Before Importing Your Saves To PS5

Following a delay last fall, Marvel’s Avengers is officially out today for next-gen consoles. But if you’re trying to boot up your PlayStation 4 save files on PlayStation 5, you might notice that your hard-grinded save data doesn’t automatically transfer over. Personally, I was aghast. My...

Yikes, that's terrible. Maybe I should wait to do this until they've ironed out the bugs.

Sam - did you have a PS+ cloud backup? I think it separates PS4 and PS5 game saves, so you may be able to re-load the PS4 version and keep your progress.

I found the game in the PS5 section of the store, but when I selected it, the PS4 version of the game started downloading by default. I had to click a separate tile and claim a "$0" upgrade to start downloading the PS5 version. Definitely not intuitive.

Yep, it didn't work.

Also, ICYMI they are making a GOTG game which looks amazing. I'm making a separate thread for that.

Because of the Black Panther expansion I REALLY wanted to try to get my data back. Turns out my old console wasn't sending cloud saves.

My nephew has my old PS4 Pro. He logged in as me and saw I was at 92% so he knew he had the old saves locally. But he hasn't patched the game since I gave him the console. His internet sucks and told him it would take 6 hours to patch. So instead had to go to the options menu then select upload. Then I downloaded his and overwrote mine on the PS4 version on my own PS5, then did migration, then loaded the migrated files. What a mess but it worked!

NO IDEA why it wasn't constantly saving to the cloud! But we made it do it and now good to go.
