Take comfort in the fact that there wasn't a Faustian contract involved here...

I had to look up what a Faustian contract was.
Thank goodness that isn't the case.....for now.

Still waiting on the download. Should be done tonight. 11gb is more than I thought.

Why would you just go on the internet and tell lies like that?

I finished it and it was the most frustrating thing I've ever experienced in my life. Every death made me rage and I don't even rage at games! The damn thing made me slam my desk so hard I spilled a big glass of ice tea everywhere.

Uh oh! :X I haven't finished it yet, but the first few levels seemed fine to me, even though the controls are a bit iffy. Does it just get brutally unfair later on?

Better game : Marvel Heroes or DC Universe?

Or is mostly a 'which universe do you prefer' thing?
Click to expand...

DC Universe is more of a classic MMO where you create your own hero and choose a mentor. So no, you don't get to BE Batman or Superman, but you get an MMO experience.

Marvel Heroes is a multiplayer ARPG - or as I like to call it, a "diablmmo" - where you play as an actual comic hero and can earn tokens to buy more. So yes, you get to BE Wolverine or Spider-Man. Just maybe not right away.

If Halo Collection actually comes to PC I would be so happy. That's about the only shooter that could ever get me excited these days.

I have a small stash of games I've been collecting to do something with... and because of the humble fiasco, I kind of got a little out of control...

But I think it's a relatively safe bet that, should I win Sub Zero's giveaway, I will unleash the flood gate and empty my vault.

Both different games. Marvel Heroes is an online action RPG like Diablo, DC Universe is an MMO.

The Marvel Heroes devs are really active and listen to the community. Huge turn around from launch and in a good way. It's pretty fun. You choose from characters in the Marvel Universe, you don't create your own character unlike DCUO.

DCUO is fun as well. But it's traditional MMO best played with a controller IMO.

Tbh, it just depends what kind of game you want.

I've been out of the loop for a while. Used to play DCUO on PS3. Haven't play Marvel yet. Which one of them is more popular nowadays?

From the few times I've tried, there's so few people in the online lobbies at any one time, we'd need an actual Guerrilla GAF night to play it.

Thanks guys. I know I've played both at one point, can't remember what I liked better. I'll start with Marvel and see how it goes.

There's not much you can do with old, low resolution backdrops. I don't expect Capcom to treat this as anymore than a cheap cash grab, similar to the RE4 PS360 ports.
Click to expand...

Well, I've never played the remake and never will otherwise, so at least there's the option whenever it reaches a price I'm willing to pay.

Yes. It feels like one of those troll platformers that have platforms disappear from under you and spikes appear out of nowhere just to kill you in ridiculous ways you can't possibly predict, except it's not at all intended to play that way.

Another layer of frustration comes from the fact that the wolf can double jump but Selena can not and as the game goes on it switches between the two more and more often, to the point where there are rooms where you will switch multiple times before leaving it, and the end result is that you end up confused as hell about who can double jump and who can't. Having a constantly changing control scheme is like a game design cardinal sin. I thought it had potential too and couldn't stop playing it despite the frustration, but it's just not a good game.

If you intend to press on anyway, remember to be vigilant with secrets and the collectable coin things! The HP upgrade from the coins is very important and most of the vital upgrades are in hidden rooms. Very few of the upgrades are just lying in the open for you to grab.

Yes. But the Tesseract is in play, so you can make like they're all alternate-dimension heroes if you feel the need to justify it.

I dont have to pay anything and I can play FFXIV right now? Or I would still need to buy the game and the free trial is only for those who own the game but don't have a sub? I always wanted to try XIV but I told myself no more MMO after WoW.

Play for free for 14 days no strings attached. After that buy the game with a free month then pay for the subscription. Also I know the feeling but the MMO itch is bothering me and WoW's expansion doesn't come out any time soon. FFXIV will have to scratch it.

The "multiples of the same hero" thing is why I've always preferred the City of Heroes/DCUO approach to superhero MMO's. Kinda wish Marvel would do something similar - it'd be cool to create an original hero and team up with/fight canon Marvel characters. (I don't really see it happening - hell, given Disney's halfhearted support for anything not named Infinity, I'm surprised Marvel properties have gotten any kind of love at all when it comes to games - but I can always dream.)
