This Or DC Universe Online?

[shock trooper]

I love both Marvel and DC and I've been debating between these two games. I don't want to try both since I don't feel like having an unused account just lying around. So what are the main pros and cons of each and one big question I got is are you able to play as villains? Like if I'm able to play as Deathstroke in DCUO or Taskmaster in MH2015. Thanks :D

Similar theme maybe, but very different games.

DCUO is fully 3d and plays like a MMO. Marvel Heroes is an ARPG (Diablo, Torchlight etc). Not sure how you want to compare those.

DCUO is a traditional MMO. Marvel Heroes is more like Diablo. DCUO you make your own characters, but you can play villians if you like, if I remember correctly. Marvel Heroes you use the premade character, but yes you can play Taskmaster.

What do you mean by "fully 3D"? Also which one is more of a grind/hard to get new characters?

[The Living Darkness]

you make your own guy in DCUO, you can play DC characters in legends pvp and a select few in some solo instances but otherwise its your own character. Marvel you cannot make your own character you play characters from marvel, but can gear them and skill them how you wish. Marvel does not let you play pure villains, though ironically Taskmaster is playable and DC doesnt have Deathstroke in legends PvP =P. But yeah both have grind, i would say DC is worse for the grind though.

By fully 3d the guy above me means 3rd person behind the back, like a 3rd person shooter or typical MMO such as WoW. Marvel is hack n slash isometric dungeon crawler like diablo.

Ok I'm leaning toward this because no Deathstroke in DCUO but there is Taskmaster in MH2015. One last question, how bad is the grind/getting new heroes and also how do you get Taskmaster :P

You're lucky, Taskmaster is one of the easiest (and an extremely efficient character to play) to aquire.

You can get him for 200 Eternity Splinters, or roughly five bucks. If you're new and still doing the storyline, you'll get just enough splinters after the storyline completion on your first character, to pick up Taskmaster.

And Taskmaster plays brilliantly, using powers and stances from Captain America, Daredevil, Hawkeye and Spider-Man. Using Cap's shield techniques, Spider-Mans webshooters, Hawkeye's bow techniques and Daredevils ability to not see ♥♥♥♥. He's a great introduction to those characters too.

Ok than I'm going to get this, I'll probablly spend some money to buy Winter Soldier since he is apperently coming (I saw this on the wedsite).

...and Marvel Heroes is very easy game plus no hardcore mode. just saying before you start.

I don't really care if it is easy or hard. It is the gameplay that counts.

[doplank]

Yes, more villain coming up, such as Magneto, Juggernaut and Dr. Doom.. Try to visit the forum, Gaz is very close with the community

How hilarious would it be if this were canon? "By becoming blind and then constantly bumping into things, I have become immune to pain!"

Just want to add: the f2p model of MH beats that of DCUO by miles imo ;)

Here, everything is basically free, only some stash is "needed" (ofc devs need to eat), whereas I remember DCUO locking quite some content behind paywalls.

That said, I loved the freeroam in DCUO and the feeling you are building your "own" hero/villain.

If I was to comment on this which I am trying not to, but it's not working hehe! I would be coming off as biased and uninformed for I have never played DCUO. I like DC alot and they have a nice roster, especially BatWorld. But being the Marvel and MH maniac I am, I would say go with Marvel heroes and start farming to get those splinters for free heroes. The Universe has great things in store for us all heroes!!!!!....indeed!!

[Imperius Rex]

If I made a checklist of features of both games, DCUO would utterly blow MH out of the water. It is a AAA title. However, in the end due to the cash shop, I stick with MH. It doesnt have the content or dynamics to be a go-to game, but its a nice stupid hour of reckless fun.
