Champions – The Negs

—

I had a half-baked Champions Online review in the works, but franky, the idea of trying to do a comprehensive review based on the first few weeks (plus beta) of an entire MMO just bogged down after a while. So I thought I’d make it easier, and more interesting, on myself by breaking it ...

Champions Online: Please, Fix This, Hurry

— eldergame.com — I know how easy it is for a game to die early in its life. Asheron’s Call... 2 had a promising career as a small but profitable MMO, but that was dashed very early because the game’s chat system broke for nearly three months(!), and due to ...

Champions Online Costume Bingo!

— biobreak.wordpress.com — Face it: one of the most fun activities you can have in Champions Online (and CoH as... well) is people watching, to witness the endless bounds of creative costume construction… as well as the hordes of similar knock-offs. To encourage this ... (more) Champions Online Costume Bingo!

Champions: A Step Backwards from City of Heroes

— tremblinghand.net — Far from being the step forwards that many people (including myself) thought it would be, Champions Online... is a step backwards from City of Heroes. At least when it comes to teaming. That's not to say Champions is a bad game; it has a lot of appealing characteristics. But for some reason ...

But Baby Bear's Pillow Was Just Right
Rainbow MMO! — Like many people, and certainly most of the blogosphere, Syp has been playing Champions Online. And as bloggers are want to do, he posted up his impressions of the game thus far in what I consider to be the most fair approach one can take to review an MMO that's only weeks old: he wrote about the qualities he thought here positive and negative. What stuck out at me though is his thoughts on customization. He mentions CO's customization options multiple times in both posts, speaking about the power sets and the character creation tool. What ...

Kicking your arse
breakdown — Kicking your arse So everyone is getting upon the CO bandwagon, from Biobreak through to Hudson , and all the paraphernalia in-between but of course it’s only a flavour of the month sort of thing. Give it till October and poor ol’ Aion will be in the firing lines, games simply can’t do the players justice. Which is true, because as we know developers are like presidents or prime ministers, unable to fix the ‘easy’ solutions presented to them, where as we, at home, are more than capable of doing such things. Afterall, we’ve seen someone else do it and quite ...

Champions Online: If You Show Me Yours, I'll Show You Mine...

Random Shots: Blinded By The Fun
Bullet Points — ... Online. Both reviews bring up the same issues with the game. However the IGN reviewer was better able to overlook the problems and enjoy the game while the Gamespy reviewer was stymied by them. Reading those two article, I couldn't help but wonder if I, too, was purposefully overlooking the game's problems just because I was having so much fun playing it. My own first impressions are almost devoid of criticism. Compare that to Syp's Pro and Con lists. If someone called me a CO fanboy, I would be hard pressed to refute the claim. I ...

Opinion: We'll Fix It After Launch
GayGamer.net — ... September was a pretty packed month for MMOG launches; there were three bigger titles released as well as a revamped free-to-play game, on top of the myriad of tiny little patches and "hello worlds." With Champions Online rounding out towards the end of its first month, a lot of people have been re-examining their initial impressions from the beta, head-start and launch periods-- largely, the viewpoint seems to be turning towards "this would've been a great game if it had been released a few months later." ...

MMO Triage
Blue Kae — ... Most of my playtime the last few weeks have been spent in Champions.  There are definitely some roughs edges in this game just like there are in Fallen Earth, but nothing that interferes with my fun, and having fun is my primary criteria for what I play.  I’m not planning to post a review of the game as its already been thoroughly discussed on other blogs.  If you want some links, the best overview is Syp’s Bio Break posts about the positives and negatives of the game.  I’d also recommend checking out A Ding World, Bullet Points, and ...
