City Of Heroes

Last week I tried the two weeks trial of City of heroes, i missed out
of the last to days of my trial account on account of Lee fainting out.
However, I managed to get 12 days of fun game play, and gather some critique.

First, the game itself is nice, but it’s a lot “yet another MMORPG”
game. There weren’t too many game play elements that were new to me in
this game, and even a lot of the game systems were less good then other
games I’ve played.
The chat system was really annoying, and i even think it’s the worse
chat system I saw in an ONLINE game, not counting Ballerium’s chat
system.
The character creation section of the game was very elaborate, and in
good terms too, after all, it’s a super hero game, you should be able
to make any kind of cool hero you want.
The Quest system reminded me the one I devised when working on
Ballerium, but it was much simpler and too constant. I designed and
programmer something FAR better then this.
Assaf M.(who also played the game) claims, and i agree, that
superheroes are suppose to battle supervillians, and not only stupid
gangsta mobs that roam around, and sometimes are way together then
super heroes, if their level is higher then the hero’s which is kind of
absurd, I do have to say that the power balance of the game is pretty
good, and that they really nailed it in terms of experience, and
toughness, and grouping. Tasks forces (which are a one mission group)
were a nice idea, but had problems in their implementation, because it
would be frustrating to find a group that would play with you for 6
hours straight.
Flying, is awsome. I think every game should incorporate flying into
it. Playing CoH was just like in my dreams, where i’m flying.
All in all i was a nice game to play, but i wouldn’t have paid money to play it.
Soon I’ll start playing World Of Warcraft, and I’m expecting I’ll be sucked in it real good.

But for now, here are some pictures of my time in City of Heroes:

This is me. Next to the city hall of Atlas Park.

There was a costume competition going on when i got there.

Flying. I just LOVE flying..

Can’t get enough of flying …

Me and some group memebers doing a quest

A 15 year old girl from USA called “Pink Healer”. I claim that you can
tell when you’re playing with a 15 year old girl. You’d have to be
totally gay to be playing this character.
