Shamus Plays: Champions Online, Part 3

[ZippyDSMlee]

Ya but its more fun than WOW or AION or anything else I have played.

Play City of Heroes. It's much better.

Oh really? I played COH for the first couple of years and it sucked(well it got reall bad after the first year) compared to champions online, even if they added more content and made it less restrictive its the same game type with the same 5 things to do.

You still played it for two years though...few MMOs can last that long. 10 separate character classes + goofing off (which is a lot harder to do in many of these other games) keeps you occupied.

I lased a few months with FF11 I just could not compute it COH lasted in 2 or 3 6 month sets, lasted 3 months on Champions online might get another 60day time card for 20$, its kinda neat but frankly most MMOs are barely worth 5$ a month if they gave me control over EXP,skill,money,stats and such ratios I'd be happy to pay 15$ a month.

FF11 lasted about a week on my machine. Champions got 2 weeks. CoX got nearly 2 years.

Given I got 1000 hours of fun out of that, that makes it roughly 10 hours per £1 I spent overall. Only EQ/TF2 has come close to that.

And it's purely because I can go onto the game and. . . not actually play the game. I can just act like a fool and have fun.
