Champions Online NDA has dropped

I mentioned before, I'm not going to comment in my usual manner because I figured I just wasn't a fan of the genre. I played for around 5-6 hours and didn't enjoy my time, other than to experiment with the avatar generator.

It felt like a console game from the late 90's, I just didn't get into it. I don't know if I'm alone in this, but it didn't appear to be a very good game, and some of the powers are ridiculously overpowered, it didn't seem very balanced at all. I got used to the comic style graphics, but I just didn't dig it too much.

Mr Angry buys EVERY MMO as it's released, I just won't be bothering with this one, sadly. I really hope STO is many orders of magnitude improved over this IP.

I played more than you and also didn't have a fun time. The game doesn't control well and honestly the powers are practically all the same except for the few overpowered ones. Mixing and matching powers wasn't really plausible and wouldn't matter much anyway. Combat became boring and repetitive very fast, especially because you basically have all the powers you need right at the beginning. Tanking, healing, crowd control, while technically in the game are all unnecessary.

Despite being promised character customization I couldn't make my hero looked like I wanted and it really just felt like a subpar mmo.
