This is what COH was supposed to be, but failed at it. However, I am not interested in super hero customization knock offs. Especially, when I know that they will do everything they can to prevent me from actually making the superheroes and/or villians I actually want. If you want to make a Spiderman charactrer you can bet you will be hamstrung by the character creation system so that you don't actually succeed. This is a problem they won't be able to overcome. It happened in COH, I know I tried it and cancelled my subscription because of it.

Until the Marvel and/or DC online universes are available as MMOs (including some customization) count me out of this lame boxed-in genre.

I wish they would just give up on the idea already.

I think you're wrong. not everyone wants to play a game where there's 500 spiderman clones, 250 wolverine clones, 800 batman clones and 5 punishers running around. I enjoy creating a character from scratch and then running around and once in a while getting a compliment saying that my character design is pretty damn cool. I do agree that as a comic book game, COH fails miserably. Its only saving grace is the character creation and powers. everything else feels generic and not epic enough to be comic book like. Tonight will be the first time I will be able to play Champions Online on my gaming desktop maxed out so i'm hoping for some good impressions even though it's a beta.

I know, 500 spidermen would not be fun. But I think you know what I mean, by your post. I was just being too blunt. I remember being really excited about COH but when I tried to make my hero I could totally tell that the character creation design was purposely set up so that I could not make anything that recreated any that seemed like a comic superhero I knew and loved. That just ruined it form. What would be awesome is a hybrid system where you could take all the elements even from actual heroes. The other think I did hate was that I couldn't fly! And I couldn't have a cape. I just thought what the hell were you guys thinking! Will these features be in Champions Online?
