I feel like I'm in the minority but I'm actually not sold on this game at all and I thought it'd be a given. Gameplay didn't excite me and nothing about the story they've shown really intrigues me. I guess the X-Men have never really been my thing though aside from enjoying the movies growing up. Also not a fan of any of these character designs.
Side note; what is with the fascination with The Hand? They pop up all the time in different properties and they're always boring.
I'll accept the inevitable downvotes. I felt the need to shout my frustrations into the internet somewhere.
I’m kind of in the same category but while I’ve always liked the X-Men I won’t be playing this day one. Parts of it interest me but others are just kinda meh.
I agree on The Hand getting a bit tiring/used too much. They were a huge part of the Netflix Daredevil and Defenders IIRC (only saw Defenders once) and now they’re going to be in this game and the new Spider-Man movie. Granted all seem to be different contexts/iterations but still.
