Why Champions is the only MMO I'm even considering...

Sturmrabe

I have sworn off MMO's for a while... a LONG while... after the AoC debacle. I'm sick of the old EQ/WoW paradigm, I'm sick of fantasy games, and I'm extra sick of games coming out lacking serious core promised features.

CO has the superhero thing, and I like CoX, and I loved making chars, too bad I could stand the endless instance grind and repetitive content (I had like a million badges, and as cool as they were when they started being the main reason I was running around it was time to quit).

If they can just get char creation AS GOOD as CoX I'd be happy, if they get it better it'll take me days to even start playing.

Comparisons to CoX? I'm not worried about it at all, CoX had a lot going for it, unfortunately it had a very "first effort"/amateurish feel [specifically when thinking of content], and WTF is wrong with a CoX2??? Nothing IMO.. though that being said;

CO is not CoX2, in that its going to approach the MMO dynamic like a wholly new animal, though one could say DCUO is CoX2 as well just because its also superhero based... which is an unfair comparison to both games.

I also LIKE that CO is the reincarnation of a Marvel MMO, that means that this is built on a solid foundation with a new IP that can slide right into place... that is why the game has been so playable in hands-on time that several reviewers have had (here, RPS, etc)

And finally DCUO has the ultimate kiss of death: SOE.
