There are? depends on the criteria i guess, but the problem i have with the specific superhero games in relation to this topic is that several of the games you mentioned are only about one sueprhero. arkham is a good 3d brawler, but thats all it is, you play a character with good martial arts skills and some gadgets, fine…

also a good version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhZpmFORHBA

kind of all over the place at the moment. but as bands go, i have been listening to Regina spektor pain(the defunct ska-ish band, not the metal band) blind guardian lindsey stirling emilie autumn five iron frenzy and am going to be getting the new cds from abney park and "i fight dragons" also have been going through a cat…

well, lienage was gigantic in Korea, whereas co is what it is. my pure hatred of ncsoft is pretty much my main reason to vote at all. i logged in to vote against ncsoft, pwe has really done me no favors, but @#$% ncsoft.
-
sorta kinda, now i loved sr4 despite the fact that you are playing an amoral sociopath who causes absurd amounts of collateral damage, but thats one game, and really its a branch off of a series that was originally a gta ripoff. there are a few "superpower" games, sr4, prototype, and infamous, but i dont know if they fit…
-
that is kind of the thing, batman is really the most absurd member of the dc setup, at elast the others have reasons for being overpowered, batman just has stupidly contrived plot armor.
-
heh co vs a ncsoft game? ya got lucky cryptic. no brainer for me.
-
i think that aesthetics are important in determining a genre entertainment as well, avergers would not be considered a "martial arts" film despite both black widow and cap using conventional martial arts tactics. as much as i dislike spandex, it is a frequent visual cue for the genre, similarly one thing about the general…
-
that would have been nice, no question, in the current situation, advertisement becomes a bit of a problem.
-
it is a parody anime, i loved it, but you had to have watched a hell of a lot of Japanese tv/manga and anime to get half the joke, and the puns were largely lost in the translation.. i still thought it was hysterical, but its very much in the absurdest humor vein. its loosely a pardy of fist of the north star, but it goes…
-
Well, rian has blue skin, a tail and horns. so no dice there, but personality wise, yeah, he is kind of me turned up to 11. i'm known for telling a lot of jokes, and rian is a spider-man styled joker. rian trained in a large number of martial arts..i have trained in a few of them...he upped the number basically for what i…
-
ah yes, ghouls and ghosts, the grandfather of maso-core gaming. i still have the capcom collection for the original x-box with it and the snes version, one day i will feel self injurious enough to play through it again.
-
nothing will happen either way really, nothing we say on here will affect a single thing really, and outside of a few contest design things, our actual affect on the game is the binary of pay/non pay, and that includes this thread, nothing will change anything with cryptic or pwi, and we will get what we get based solely…
-
its been quiet for a long time, probably will pop back up once new stuff gets announced but it seems generally mmos end to ebb and crest based o if there is something new to talk about.
-
cant disgree cyber. this was a start, and not a bad one. took a while, but we got some meat finally. REALLY would love to see a plant power-set. That for me is the most glaring current thing. but i have one pet project that, while improbable, is something i'd love to see redimensionalize the game. a little work done to…
-
only if you party in the proper fashion
-
depends on the feel of the character. i tend to use a lot of different themes, which is one reason i am so drawn to the super-heroic subgenre in the first place,because you can mash up sci fi, high fantasy, and various modern action film ideas. amara is based loosly in cosmic horror, rian is a wuxia martial artist. oddity…
-
you know, as often as you tell this story, it always strikes me as strange, i'm presuming you made a blaster, so you should have started with one of two primary power and one secondary power, presuming you had a elec/elec blaster you should have had either a very fast recharging ability lightning attack or one that would…
-
hmm..i know tend to buy new costume sets anyhow because of the whole "positive reinforcement" thing, but this is pretty good, ill get this once it hits.
-
for me the tailor is generally the end boss :D
-
back in ciy of heroes, Troy hickman had ones that were just beautiful bad puns that were 70s music puns, including my favorite, "crystal blue contusion" I have always like (shameless self propmotion) my one steampnk robot "checkov's gundam". my little brother had 2good ones. postradamus, he can see the future but only…
-
dunno, maybe hes a actually villain who is just casing the joint.
-
works for me, but then again, since co got my cash and dc didnt,so works for them too. also im pretty sure calling me a fanboy for co would cause terra to have a stroke :P I wish dcou weren't so limited, funny part is that ti got worse after beta, they originally had some beast details be parts you could select in the open…
-
i havent done much mmos since coh ended, what im playing on and off now is Skylanders(dragons woo) skyrim legend of zelda skyward sword animal crossing:new leaf(my town is even paragon city) guacamelee wonderful 101 ill be getting back on dark souls 2 when the last dlc drops. looking forward to fantasy life and dragon age…
-
currently co is the best on the market, it was not, but it has been for about a year. the other never got the customization thing right, the concepts you can make are limited,at start you can make a spandexer or a power armor character, martial arts have nothing and sectional beast parts are far too limited, and the tap…
-
it was about finality rather than space nonsense, it took them 8 months to get us this we are happy because we got something, not that we got something amazing, distinction is needed, it s a solid b- from a student that has consistently failed for years, keep perspective here, its not a new zone or a full power-set either,…
-
heh, if you dont want to erase this game off of your hard drive in frustration, its best not to dwell on what they could be making. co will never live up to its potential, it never got enough people and cash, worrying about what it could have been will send you away. its how i learned to stop worrying and love this bomb.
-
fetch this post a stuffed bear, they hit a bulls eye. this game was, from an mmo development perspective, dead and decaying for the better part of 2 years with a new dev team who were being wasted on content that was yanked off the servers in a short time frame, cryptic was acting like world class morons and you couldn't…
-
I know where you were going with it, i read your thoughts on it in the optimistic thread,and could easily figure the point of the thread. i was just being cheeky. that said, while we have had new content since beta, we sure as heck havent for nearly 2 years r minus one super linear one with an annoying enemy group and one…
-
sure, while we shouldn't be limited by existing comic archetypes, it would be naive to say that strong established characters don't shape expectations. the other idea being that it was a power-set on the other two superhero mmos, so for those moving characters it would be nice to have. cryptic might want to look at how…
-
once, but since i hadnt played sequential missions for several months now, thats still pretty impressive. might do another run tonight with my robot character, most interested i have been in new content since aftershock..how many years ago was that? and my favorite new combat mechanic was "actual new permanent content…
-
its ok, i like it, it started weak, the run around and click a mcguffin on a bunch of npc's thing was a weak start and the idea, individually spritzing victims of a fatal contagious disease is beyond silver age stupid. but from the second mish on, the maps are good, the new enemies have a fair amount of variety in…
-
i respectfully disagree, ugc is nice, and a good bandage, but we cant make new art assets, maps, mechanics or powers. and without that it becomes a reshuffling of deckchairs. mission architect didnt impress me that much in coh, yeah a few people made fun and funny stuff, and it gave an ok treadmill for alternate progress,…
-
sheesh, i try to end with a humorous exaggeration after making my point and people get literal. Yes, what i meant, and thought was implied enough that i could joke around a bit was that while expansion does not have a set definition, precedent has indicated that expansions are supposed to be significant enough additions of…
-
but this is far less than those, its less than even a small expansion, even using the word expansion just makes it worse. i did use the wrong word for here though, lets call it a comic series or adventure pack, that fits what we are getting, and those are nice, but otherwise you might think they really started trying hard…
-
you know, i'm happy we are getting some new missions, but calling it an "expansion" is only going to highlight how small it is. its a few missions and some new costumes and a VERY small number of new powers. there isnt a fixed definition of the word expansion, but given the precedent from eq, wow and coh, calling it an…
-
took you guys long enough. anyhow, yeah, like a number of things,(powers zones comics series, the story) they didn't get any further work, unfortunate but not really out of line here. there are sparks of life now, but id imagine that they are low on the priority list.
-
a gentleman never tells..oh you meant the content, yeah people burn through content fast, they did in coh , did in eq and do in wow, thats not what makes this update important, after over a year this is actual perm content that moves the story forward and utilizes heavy hitters in the story. if this were to be what we see…
-
Well well, i was wrong and am excessively happy to have been wrong. better news than i could have hoped for really. now i need to go see a kid with a blanket about a pumpkin. still not n actual zone, but forward story progression is really welcomed, and gives a sense of liveliness this game hasnt really had for years.…
-
Actually am happier when i am playing new powersets in new zones and fighting new enemies with innovative power loadouts while persiing a continuing story. but pwi tends to prefer miserable.:rolleyes:
-
they have certainly given the community one of those fingers on a regular basis.
-
and dadaists think they are porcupines. but thats the thing, we had "stuff being worked on" last year. it turned out to be 2 street hunts, 1 temporary door mission with an existing enemy group, and a temporary alert that actually was kind of cool, but that still was pretty damn disappointing as the first actual content we…
-
1. working on new costumes. customization is the thing of this game that nobody gets clsoe to touching, so seeing how far i can push the creator(and good taste) also bs'ing with the coh channel and trying to run new concepts/rerolling existing guys. and playing other video games. "sands of destruction" on the 3ds…
-
well, depends on their structure, i can still plug in my dreamcast and play my level 200 HCast if i so desire(or my gamecube, microsoft was dumb to force the connection, and i could play psu right now. id love it if more mmos made the contingency plan to keep games around. heck, meridian 59 is still around, just on private…
-
Does it have a future? well, pwi seems to not shut down, so it will probably will be around but as to any significant development, all evidence points to no, unless you are with the "great pumpkin" crowd that believe we are getting some new content in some unspecified time in the future. that aid, its the best that remains…
-
Very true, I recall in the concept stages them saying the spider legs(which i think were previously in a different position) were going to be problematic, so seeing them here was something i really was happy to see. as a matter of principle i have been getting all the costume sets as a carrot to the devs, but in this case…
-
im lucky, as a star wars/anime/gaming/d&d nerd, never took any licks, nobody really cared, maybe its regional but i tend to hear more about it than ever actually see it.
-
one thing that i have to give co, cryptic has put out a "martial arts" themed game and a game with a playable dragon-like race, but co's variety of options means you can actually have more attack variety with a martial artist and more options for a draconic character here than the newer games. its a factor as to why im…
-
for rian frostdrake, my main who is kind of a trigun style funny character with a darker backstory who is basically trying to be a "good" hero in an ambiguous world i fight dragons-nobody likes superman for dire worg, the redeemed werewolf vigilante who is trying to be a law abiding hero pop-evil- monster you made me and…

see, given the references to cats and rum, i would have figured this one for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsy7kJyizoc :biggrin:
