Champions Online vs DC Universe Online
Paying to Play: Winner Champions Online
You don't have to pay to play CO like you have to play for DCUO. But with you paying for DCUO you overall get a better game to play, PvP and do raids. But if you're looking for a quick and fun game to play than I would recommend playing Champions Online.
Character Creation: Winner Champions Online
The character creation in CO is just way to over the top in all the choices you have. You could spend hours just perfecting every imperfection your guys has. I just randomed my guys till something cool comes out. While DCUO barely has a character creation. You have 3 different types of body's, small medium and large while in CO you can make hundreds of different body's. Also DCUO doesn't have a great amount of armor to wear but they change as you collect new items.
Story: Winner DCUO
When you are playing DCUO you recognize the hero's you are with and who you are against through their fame. While in CO, they introduce their round up of hero's and they just don't feel right when you are fighting alongside them. People may argue that the "DCUO characters suck, Marvel is better" -Tagowar, but it's better than playing with hero's you never heard of.
Graphics: Winner DCUO
While the cartoony style of CO looks good, the DCUO cities just take the win on this part.
Abilities: Winner DCUO, but CO if you didn't have to pay for more abilities.
CO has the same basic abilities that DCUO has. But CO has more travel abilities other than DCUO's speed, flight and acrobatics. But with CO you have to buy the new flight types and different abilities, while you get everything you need off the start of DCUO.
Play style: Winner DCUO
The fighting and PvP of DCUO blows the fighting of CO right out of the water. It's fun to be flying around a giant city and come across a giant battle with 20v20 people going at it. You jump into the brawl and the game just feels awesome. The fighting in CO just feels clunky and awkward, having dueled Jello, I hit him 8 times and they never registered. Also you don't get knocked down if you pick flying and get hit. In DCUO if you are hit trying to fly away you would fall. Also the auto-attacks of CO seem to never register same with the targeting they just feel weird. The click to attack of DCUO makes you feel more involved in the battle, having to change between your combos to knock back and stun.
Overall Winner: DCUO
I would definitely recommend playing both games. CO if you really don't have any money to play DCUO. But the play style is really worth getting the game. I only hope it lasts and doesn't go bankrupt like many MMO's in the past.
Feel free to argue with me, I'm just giving my opinion having played both.
I don´t agree with that, Champions Online should be the overall winner! much more epic
ReplyDeleteEpic
ReplyDeleteBoth are good, can't pick one.
ReplyDeletereally like the comparison keep it up
ReplyDeleteHaven't played either, but Dcuniverse looked very meh and like a copy of CoH so thumbs down for it.
ReplyDeleteTo me DCUO is just overall the better game to play, fighting and style are awesome. CO is good too, but only if you dont want to pay to play
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I didn't think that DC Universe looked too bad when I first saw it, but it wasn't really the game I expected it to be.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you forgot to put in a section for people with crappy computers, but since you can obtain DCUO on the PS3 i guess it doesn't matter. Like Dnoop always says though "PS3 has no games". Completely untrue since this game is on there.
ReplyDeleteFOR THE HORDE
Or aliance. WoW > DCUO and CO is free so i don't compare them.
ReplyDeleteCO does have pvp... Also the play style isn't odd your just too slow.
ReplyDeleteI like both but outside of the...(Hey i know that hero) That DC has it's missing alot. It's hard to be unique when you have so little options. The end result is 10 characters that look like you but with a rifle on their back I give it to CO but i play DC as well they are both lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteFor me DCUO wins in the area of storyline and graphics, but Champions Online has so so SO SO much more variety. Truly feels like you are playing as your own hero rather than a batman based hero or a superman based hero etc etc.
ReplyDeleteHaving paid for and played many hours of game time in both. I can honestly say Champions Online takes the crown. In DC, if you can't use stun or block you die...no way around it. And the fighting styles are just silly compared to CO. The only thing DC had that grabbed my attention, was the travel powers.They nailed that one. Champions has multiple maps to do your thing on. Fully customizable fighting moves. Hey you wanna have and big axe and still shoot at people with stuff? Champions has what your looking for with the monthly fee. You can mix and match from any skill tree to get your hero "Your Hero". Unlike DC. I don't know the issues you were having, but on a basic HP laptop I played both. And learned you can turn the "Cartoony" look of CO off and it looks just as good as DC. Played on a high end gaming PC(Which is needed in both games for max)you will see they both look amazing
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try DCUO, But, In my own opinion, I believe that DCUO is the winner overall, CO has ALOT of content, ALOT of Character Customization but the gameplay itself is just too clunky, It lags, And I agree that the hits do not register so quickly, Even though I haven't tried DCUO yet, I am sure that I will enjoy flying around in it and a hack&slash sort of Gameplay. This comment may be late, But, Both games have come free to play. My opinion about them is, Try both of them cause everyones opinions differ.
ReplyDeletei wanted to start playing dcuo f2p but
ReplyDeletei also play champions online so should i play dcuo too i mean how is dcuo overall
DCUO IS BETTER THAN CO!no offense i like co too i play them both alot-_-
ReplyDeleteThey have more styles and dlc packs now and ig u dont like pvp u can go pve in dcuo
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that while DCUO is a better game, more feel to it and some really cool moves. I would vote for CO to win, as the community there don't treat you like the offspring of a leper and a nun. Much less abuse, and more help.
