It does look sweet. I just can't deal with the monthly payment.

Yah I know, that's what really sucks D: And it's such a shame someone can't torrent money from the internet... at least not yet haha

>_> It's also rapidly turning into a microtransaction haven for *actual ingame things* like power customization and such. It still holds zero appeal to me, sadly. I hope it's at least fun, but I don't see myself playing it ever.

I've been in the beta for quite a while now, and I gotta say it doesn't hold a candle to City of Heroes. It's sluggish and not very newbie friendly. I won't be picking it up.

If I had to review it in its current state,I would say they get an A for effort, a B for aesthetics, and an C for game play. Unfortunately the grades get worse from that point on, D for intuitiveness, E if that is even a grade for chunk chunk, you're gonna need a monster machine for this, it just looks like crap on low settings. You really loose all the beauty of the visual effects they've made. And so over all it gets an F.

Customization IS on a whole new level, if COH had half of what they added, they could double their income, and player count. But outside of the creator, it looses all it's fun, with choppy repetitive, ugly animations. A total lack of repeatable fun, some tasks are so laborious you just never want to go through them again. I have played the tutorial for a dozen and a half times, in so many incarnations of LJ as a martial artist, as a fire blaster, as a plain power tank, an armored power tank... and while she looks just AMAZING.

I am bored to tears with her, thinking, OMG, how am I gonna live through this to their level cap. When they had the instant lvl 33 build, it was at least more fun to test it. Now it's in snailsville, everyone was wiped, and everything had to be restarted.

The zones are great, the concepts okay, but how did they mess it all up. Champions isn't an exploration game, it's not about wishing someone would come along and give your hero something to do. Sure there are mobs, but they built grinding into this game with a capital G.

If I were you I would play a 2 week trial, and the go back to COH for i15 and i16, both of which will be out before this game hits stores. At least I hope so, even AOC, which had 3 years to get it right, needed another year. I hope Cryptic remembers that.

Too bad. I'm guessing the monthly fee is the perfect anti-piracy tool.

Wait about half a year to a year after it releases.
