City of Heroes, fun fun fun

[Nilk]

At how friggin good this game is!
if you pre-buy, you can play righ tnow.(www.ebgames.com)
it is fully playable, polished, and unless you REALLY want to beta test(only 4 more days, until pre-orders, can buy retail version, i.e. launch day) you can play anytime, and keep your characters.
Every review I've read, talking up the hype on this game, is dead on. Characters, are completely customizable, heck even saw Conan O'Brien running around last night(I woulda used a different face, but this guy was almost dead on).
Heck I've recreated several of the characters, I was drawing in high school, with a friend, when we were trying to start our own comic :D
and missions are fun fun fun fun fun, meeting new people is easy, in fact, I haven't met one rude person, if you have a question, you just broadcat it, to everyone else playing. You will have an answer within minutes.
If anyone else, in playing beta already, or if anyone gets into it, post your server, and superhero, I'll track ya down to team-up.
Currently running, Silvermoon, I will probably create a NilKilla or InPsyte character sooner or later.

Yeah I have been hearing a lot of hype about it. Though playing a super hero seems kinda corny to me.

[Maz]

I've been hearing good things about it, but I won;t be playing it

[Stang]

I've heard about the game here and there but not much on it.

Yes playing a super hero to me too sounds kinda corny.

Have fun though :)

[insaneferret]

that game would own if you could be a campy villan with an excessively long and overdone laugh, but evil would just be too easy, so i can see why they did'nt allow it

[Maz]

I'm waiting on Halo2 and World of Warcraft

[Nilk]

yes, WoW sounds like it'll be a good thing :)
though I've also been hearin good things from Guildwars, too!

[Stang]

Mmmmm Halo2 :D

[insaneferret]

*drool*mmmmm World of Warcraft

hope they bring halo 2 to pc in a timely manner this time

[Stang]

Naw it wouldn't be the same if they did. You non xbox people have to wait another 2 yrs after it comes out on xbox :).

[Maz]

halo is WAY more fun on xbox then pc, halo2 on xbox is where it's at, xbox live rocks, my pc will be to play World of WArcraft

[Ghryphen]

I don't like FPS games on consoles. I need the freedom and quick movement of a mouse and not the set rotation speed of a joystick. I tried the PC ver of Halo after having Halo on XBox for a long time and I liked it on PC much more.

[insaneferret]

agree with gryphon, gamepads suck for FPS, if i could hook up a KB/mouse and play WASD style on a console i'd grab it immediately

and BTW they announced city of villans

[Stang]

I love playing FPS games on xbox. Im with ya Maz :). The rest of you just don't have the skillz we do to handle it :p.

Dynomutt plays alot of Rainbow Six 3 on xbox live. Wish they would get more racing games, good ones, that will do live. Im going to get the new Splinter Cell and see if he will play that with me :).

[Nilk]

counter-point being, keyboard and mouse + madden2003 bad. very bad
and since with ps2, (and I assume xbox) you still get updated rosters, I guess it makes no deifference which platforum you go with.
(still glad I missed halo :P, though bungie did succeed in my dream, of being a smaller developer, getting bought by the king of all publshers)

if you can't move around on xbox just as fast as no pc, then you just suck, you don't have the skills :D

I use to play FPS on pc all the time, then started playing then with xbox live, and I just like it alot better, I find it more challenging, your proud when you get a head shot, cause you can't get one every shot, plus you know people are'nt cheating :) but it's jsut a personnal opinion, it's a never ending argument, I've tried before

[Nilk]

no cheating? hmm I've heard console cheats were easier, because you didn't have the concern, of viruses attached to them.

[Maz]

good luck using cheats on xbox live

[Stang]

:yup:

[insaneferret]

ok, i just got the game, i'm still low level so i have my pick of servers, which one are you on?

[Nilk]

I'm on pinnacle, as several characters, but my highest level character, is Silvermoon.
just type /add silvermoon in chat(if that doesn't work, then its friend, lol)

[KitZune]

I've been interested in City of Heroes... but I'm into lineage 2... I made my decision literally on the spot in the store when I saw both of them there together... one or the other hrmmm... and technically I don't even have the income to support Lineage 2, I'm using stored up birthday money. I'd like to play it, but I can't.

[Stang]

What happen to the good 'ol days of free gaming :(.

[Maz]

those are the old days

[insaneferret]

hey, i'm trying to see if i can revitalize ATF a bit, make it branch into the MMO games we're playing so that the few little groups that each of us have playing can come together so we can field a much larger group in-game.

i've played with TKB's CoH group, which is only about 5-10 people, we can rarely get a good group going except in prime time due to low membership

i'm proposing this concept with CoH, , right now SOUP's Superheroes Of Unlimited Power has the largest membership, with members of SOUP, LOS, falmevault and a DAOC guild grouped up, people are always online, and the battles are fierce.

so i've tentativeley selected SOUP's SG as our rallying banner, would you XMEN guys consider coming together with the ATF guys again for a larger and more active in-game group? (though we're on victory), anyhow, consider the idea, we're discussing it on the ATF boards at the link below, bring your thoughts/opinions

[Stang]

The only XMEN that I can think of that are playing CoH is Red Sirus and Ambush Bug. Least thats the only 2 I've seen talk about the game.

[Variable]

I just ordered it yesterday, I've got a friend at work who's been harping on me to get it. Thing is though, he's heavy into the role playing aspect of it. He's formed a league with a backstory and character profiles and mission statements, only talks in character...thats way too deep for me. I may play on the server he's on for a bit and see if I can deal with it, but likely as not I'll be joining the XMEN and THZ on a different, more...normal...server.

[Nilk]

umm hi stang, read my signatures again :P

[Stang]

Oh yeah still gettin use to you being back :s0007:

Its so weird to see people get into a game that much and actually carry it out so far.

[Maz]

it si weird, theres some games with dedicated servers for players like that, I like to go on something and watch them, it's interesting, but too much for me

[Joudas]

play SW:G with me and gryphon and abuncha others.

[Ghryphen]

Ya, what he said!

[Maz]

Ffxi!!!
