The Dimensional Arcade and other Grievances
I want to start by saying that I enjoy the arcade as a concept, but in practice it is not working as Kabam intended. Aside from the obvious performance issues on many devices, it is silly to even introduce a new arcade game when there’s already a myriad of bugs and character issues in Mcoc. (You’re seriously telling me I need to wait a month for hulkling’s damage fix, but you’ll hand me a half-baked rhythm game ripoff in the meantime??) This is made even sillier with the inclusion of The Coliseum, arguably the best game mode in the last couple of years. You’re going to make players wait 2 weeks between bosses, but can’t even give them functioning game modes to hold them over in between??
I understand that game development is more than just constant bug fixes, and that creators want to be creative at work, but you can’t go on silly little side quests when the main game has bugs & glitches that need fixed ASAP.
I’ve played the new game mode on my PC, and it runs just fine. Which is weird to me. This game always has been (and always will be) a mobile game. Even with the success of the PC port, its controls are still 100% rooted in the games mobile origins, and as such each new game mode needs to be optimized for mobile before it is EVER introduced into the game.
I’m excited to see some updates to the arcade that might fix the performance issues, but right now it is all a colossal waste of time.
