We got our hands on Champions Online yesterday and we finally pulled ourselves away from it long enough to make a video and discuss it. We created three characters:
Unarmed Martial Arts
Fire/Ice Custom Framework
Gadgeteer
Two words can best describe our experience: "Pleasantly surprised". It's a really good game... No make that a GREAT game. The combat system is spot on... They have added the ability to block, but not forced you to use it. They also added the ability to use the environment to fight foes. e.g. Pick up a lamp post and throw it at a bad guy. Let's get to the video so you can get your own impression. Make sure to watch in HQ to get the full affect! Each archetype does something different but they are all in one of the new areas because they are all around level 6. Now that you have watched the video... What are your thoughts? A lot of people have asked me what I think about it, compared to CoH/CoV. My answer is simple. I enjoyed CoX alot, but it lacked in substance with the Instance Questing, in my opinion. Champions Online took that away, added PQ's like Warhammer (For more MMO feel), added instanced zones like Guild Wars for population control, and really makes me feel like I'm in a game of super heroes. In comparison they took CoX and improved it greatly and came out with Champions Online. We'd like to hear your thoughts, post them here! They released a state of the game here. Official Website here.
