Champions Online

[Munglai]

A couple of years ago I decided that all MMORPGs are bullshit forever but I've been looking at videos of Champions Online today and I have to say it looks pretty promising. The combat looks much less dull than any MMO I've seen before and the different powers and ways you can combine and customise them looks pretty amazing.

Does anyone have evidence that it is or isn't awesome?

I'm a sucker for character creators anyway so I'll probably get a demo just to do that for a while.

DC Universe Online looks a lot more fun, but this still looks reasonably promising.

kiiind of but last time I looked at anything from DC Universe Online the art and animation was all shitty and it put me off. It looks like it could be fun but it doesn't look like it could hold my attention.

After watching a few more videos I'm really sad Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was such an underplayed game seeing as most of the stuff in modern super hero games is flat out stolen from it.

Don't do it. MMOs have the worst time spent to gratification ratio in the world, just behind watching paint dry.

Except for MFing in Diablo 2...

Pretty much but there's something enticing about them none the less.
