Quality Maniac: Marvel Avengers Alliance part 3 Venom

Venom is a little sad in Marvel Avengers Alliance he always get placed in the weirdest places and it always makes no sense.

I have touched on this before like how much I hate it was the Mac Gargan Venom over Flash Venom when they had taken the story from Agent Venom comics for the special operation 4.

But evne more so they should have used Eddie Brook before Mac Gargan.

This time they placed Venom as an epic boss in the new Wakanda stage(2.4.6). Which makes no fucking sense again.

Has Venom ever been to Wakanda? Maybe on some thunderbolt mission but his relation Man-Ape and the white gorilla cult does not exist nor is there any explain for it in the game they just randomly took him it seems.

What bugs me even more is, think about it, who would have made sense for a Wakanda epic boss.




Klaw of course


And what I mean is not only that it should have been Klaw, but when I think about what Klaw's power is. SOUND.

How is is background story, oh yeah harnessed sound from vibranium mound that is in Wakanda.

Not only does it make no sense story-wise for Venom to be in this mission, this is also the place on Earth were he is the most vulnerable. Wakanda with their vibranium based weapon and an abundance of vibranium in the landscape.

Ok that just the fundamental issue of having him there.


TO warrant it to be a single Quality Maniac there is of course also a technical issue,

 First of all we have recruited Venom so how can it be a Venom boss again. Yes the player can go back and face for example Magneto even after he was recruited but there has never been a new Magneto boss battle since we got him as that would make no sense.

Likewise if we have Flash with the Venom symbiote, Mag Gargan cant coexist with it(yes this is ignoring its an alternative reality Venom, but then why good dam is it Mag Gargan again then it would likelier be either Peter Parker or Eddie Brock, also this is not said in the story so its jut a bad mistake)

EVEN WORSE  is this:

Its possible to play Agent Venom on the stage and even fight Venom with Venom.....

Its one thing that they lazy out on the story, that can be addressed as just lack of ideas/budget.

But this is I would call is more that someone forget to flag a character. There are other stages where the player cannot take with all characters for example as mentioned a stage were Magneto is the boss like 4.4.
 So that the Player can fight Venom with Venom(yes they are different guys behind the symbiote but,,,) seems like just a major hiccup.

 And this is such a typical Playdom thing to. So quite annoying.



Also

I found a bug which is probably for every score battle


It clearly says "Defeat Venom with a Score over 45000". My score was 45000 not over it.

over 1 does not mean 1 but X>1

Another epic fail in basic math it seems.

The text can of course be changed to "Defeat Venom with a Score of 45000 or higher"

So yeah this bug is probably in every dam chapter for each Score based quest.
