Poll of the Day > [Steam] Marvel Heroes - All Content FREE for 6 weeks (then game goes poof)

(+) Yeah! (+)

http://store.steampowered.com/app/226320/Marvel_Heroes_Omega/

For the final 6 weeks before the game closes its doors, the devs are making all purchasable content in the game FREE.

Yes, it was already F2P, but now you can experience the game like a whale who has infinite money to spend on boosts, pets, and trying out all the nifty characters and costumes... whee!

Just a note, as they couldn't actually lower costs to 0, they are instead giving all users $10 of in game currency every day and lowering all content costs to $0.50 - so you do have a 20 item limit per day (though those 20 items could be bundles of 50 items each).

There's a whole backstory and much drama over the situation (the developers have been delaying a huge patch for PC for a couple years, putting most money/time toward console development, now Disney shutting them down for...reasons) - but hey, newcomers are welcome to ignore all that.

If you like ARPGs and/or Marvel, enjoy getting thousands of dollars of imaginary content for free over the holiday season!

I wish they had some type of system implemented with these games to offer an offline experience for when the game shuts down, even if it was just for players that had only supported the game a certain amount.

I suppose that just isn't in the business model though.

When the game goes poof can you not play it anymore?

Nope it is a fully online MMO

never got into the game. played it for like 10 min then uninstalled.

I played it for a while a couple years ago.

The game constantly felt very rough around the edges and I think they were putting out content a lot faster than their programmers could handle. Characters were released on a weekly basis but some of them would be all but useless for months on end before they got around to actually designing their skills properly.

The game would have been better if everyrhing wasn't 20 to unlock on ps4

Ah, I love Marvel and Marvel ARPGs but I think I won't even try this one then. Does it have a story? I might try it just to see that.

OK yeah, I watched a video of it on the steam store, and while I do think I'd like it, I think I'd rather just play something like Marvel Ultimate Alliance or the games of that era and before. Like X-Men legends.

It is entertaining to read the reviews of it though XD.
