this game is very good and tbh the future looks incredibly bright. 2017 will have at least 2 character releases which is 2 more than any of us expected. also slated for development are 3 terminals, this is good because anything more ambitious than a terminal would be unlikely to ever be done. im not even mentioning all the great content gated behind fortune cards which you will have to gamble your money on to potentially enjoy. make mine marvel wahoo!

well, there are some bugs and quality of life stuff that needs to get fixed, and they have said they won't patch again til open beta. you can try it now for 20bux, or wait til may 16 for free open beta.

other than that, game owns, couch co op is hell of fun. fair warning, i am 99% sure that if you play couch co op, xp is split between the 2 characters so you level at half speed compared to soloing. i posted asking about it in the forums and i harassed asros about it on stream and he refused to address it. it makes sense because weirdos like me would level two characters at once by logging in a second, but it is kind of a bummer. once you get 10 characters to 60 you have 100% bonud xp so co op will level at a normal rate.

but i can lay in bed playing marvel heroes so best game 2017

Couldn't have said this better myself.

I've barely touched Marvel Heroes since BUE2 and what limited time I've had with the game is basically logging in to see if Nightcrawler's bamf visual bug has been fixed (it hasn't, despite @Asros saying back in January it was a known bug and would be fixed in a future update and here we are, more than 3 months later, and it's still not fixed).

I'd yet to really experience any of the BUE2 because of the aforementioned bug putting me off from playing at all, and if your post is truly indicative of the current experience then I think I'm glad I stopped playing.

(For the record, according to Steam my MH play time is 3658 hours but I started playing at launch on the standalone launcher so my total play time is quite a bit more.)

A game is only worth playing if you can see yourself putting in 5,000 hours in a year.

If you can't say that, sorry the game probably sucks*

*see MH, where many are less than 5,000 hours and it is simply unplayable.

The steam reviews where people don't recommend the game and say things like, "I have 3790 hours logged and let me just say, this game is bad and won't hold your attention."

this is still true. part of why asros said yesterday on stream that there are no plans to push any further patches until open beta

which i sure hope works out cause there are a ton of pretty large bugs still!

yeah they're aware of this one. there's also a rad bug where your hotbar skills will be invisible randomly

and lots of others. most of the really big ones have at least been acknowledged and should be fixed by open beta.

i was really shocked that the closed beta patch they released actually addressed a lot, including the laggy/hard to navigate inventory screens. marvel heroes omega forever

Having trouble advancing the story missions. I've actually beaten doom, but I can't start Asgard. Apparently there are a bunch of smaller missions I've missed, so I'm going back to do them (which is hilarious with a level 59 punisher), the problem is one of the missions seems bugged. It's Chapter 3 Snake in the Grass.
It seems I destroyed the Prime Serpent Idol before destroying the 3 smaller idols. I can't get the Prime Serpent to respawn or restart and I can't complete the quest now as a result of it now. The smaller statues have respawned, but nothing in the poison glade area at all..



EDIT: Huh apparently it finally reset.

Yay the story progressed and I got the Punisher up to level 60.:gaz:

Also this R button feature is amazing for getting this story stuff done fast.

For future reference, you can force a reset of Story content by going back to a hub and switching characters. It's helpful in a few places where they haven't finished locking down the quest progression.

On PS4 you have to replace every file you change in a update instead of just patching the file itself so depending on how you build your game you can easily cause multi-GB patches for a few MB of changes. I don't think any other console works like that, not even something like the 3DS.

Yes and no. Ps3/Xbox 360 used to charge 40k or something stupid hence why we had broken games that never got fixed. Now I don't believe there is any cost but you still can't just patch as frequently as PC. The whole thing allowed easier transition for online games such as Warframe

I used to mock Future Fight as an inferior mobile version of MH, but then they kept adding characters and content at like 10 times the rate of MH......

No that was the PS3. The PS4 does delta patching.


(The Xbox One, despite the ability to, frequently does not.)

Awesome, that's good to know. Thanks. I've had weird story bugs occur a couple of times in the past and it generally winds up derailing my interest in finishing things (granted level 60 characters doing story catchup is a lot less tedious).

the actual "content" part is omega difficulties and items. they were finally mentioned by devs for the first time in months when they said they'd come "sometime between june and september"

hopefully they come out on MARVEL HEROES OMEGA before that
