I'm figuring that I'll accept the open invite of the folks over in CO. Some of them actually existed in my mind before CoH even debuted and those that didn't weren't wedded too heavily to the lore, so I can easily adapt their histories anywhere I take them. I'll just view it as a DC multiverse type of thing.

last time I played, was able to make a cosmetically quite passable version of the Goat. this time I couldn't- turns out you have to get to level 10 to unlock the bulk of the character creator. -

Eh? I already said I thought it was more stylized. I'm not trying to debate you or change your mind, just giving my opinion. The opinion here being that it's not necessarily a bad thing.
In any case, as I've already stated I can look past that. It's not a deal breaker for me. All I really care about is being able to play and customize a unique superhero.
I wasn't really counting graphic age into my equation of zone appearance. I highly agree that Perez and other zones could have used a graphic revamp, but as they were... they at least tried to look realistic with actual brick and asphalt texture and dirt.Quote:Maybe it wasn't that one. I don't know. It was one of those random hero zones that hardly anyone uses and isn't even connected to the train. And it looked like what was probably an awesome game world around the time the original Playstation came out. The silliness was only tacked on when I observed the contrast between my character's completely modern and pretty sweet looking costume and his surroundings. -
Quote:You attempt to deflate the assertion that it looks like a cartoon by stating it looks like a cartoon...?Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Shrug.. Maybe my inner optimist is just taking over. But I don't know if I really agree. It sort of reminds me of a Pixar movie in some ways
BUH?
Funny, I actually like Perez Park's look. It looks precisely like a park that hasn't seen maintenance in some time.Quote:I think something worth pointing out during the graphic discussion- And I hate to mention it- Is how much nicer their environments are, especially compared to some of the older COH zones. Granted, the Atlas Park revamp and Praetoria are awesome.... But for example, I play villains almost exclusively.The other day I decided to make a new hero and ended up in Perez Park or something. Oh man, what a hideous looking zone. I felt like I was walking into a Sega Genesis map with an XBox 360 character model. It was silly. -
It's too... cartoon cell-ish and not enough realistic... texture.

Quote:Heh, some of us ARE comic book fans (real big ones) and still find the graphical style to be hideous. That said, if it becomes my only avenue to enjoy a super hero themed MMO, I suppose I can get past the butt ugliness of the graphics.Originally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
1. I cannot stand the graphics
I play(ed) CoH because I wanted to be a superhero; like in the movies/television. CO seems WAY too cartoony for me. I was never a comics fan (ducks). I am more a X-Men movie person that an X-Men cartoon/comics person for example. This is why I liked CoH because my characters seemed more "real"/lifelike. -
Quote:Maybe because half the time the store doesn't actually work? Yeah, I was finally able to get in it yesterday and buy a bunch of super packs with my last points, but there were other times that I had tried and it just simply caused the game to hang.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
Why do people keep saying this?

It's like pouring salt on a wound.
-
What.
-
Well, looking over the wiki and considering it further, I suppose I will have to accept that invite... but only if all attempts to save CoH have failed. So I won't be moving there anytime soon.

I want everyone to please temper their expectations with the word "discussions". Please, don't take this to mean more than it does, at this point in time.

Don't worry, I'll be there. I was just playing one of my Virtue alts today as a matter of fact anyway.
-
I know if we avert disaster, I'll definitely be making a new character in celebration.

That's a very warm gesture... if all fails with rescuing Paragon City from the En'Zhe'Shofft horde, I might have to seriously consider the invitation. I'd still have trouble with that fugly art style though. And the lack of a villain option disheartens me.
-
That does sound like good news.

Quote:It's not for me. Both times I tried accessing it, the game couldn't pull it up. It just hanged. It's gone.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Still seems to be up for me.

No, I don't get it either. Clearly selling the game to someone else is a good way to make a quick buck.

It's as big as a whole house!

Quote:That middle one is CO? Oh my god, but those graphics are butt ugly.Originally Posted by Night-Hawk07
Somewhat out of date as my CoH and CO costumes have changed a bit recently. I'm sort of waiting for better DCUO costume pieces so I can get a similar appearance between the 3 to do an updated shot. -
You can have my "false hope" when you pry it from my cold, dead hands, *******. I will not give up on this game. Like the others, I will continue to fight.

Well, the OP did mention other companies... unfortunately since the SOE part turned out untrue, the other, suspiciously nameless, companies making bids may be bunk as well.

I'd suggest coming up with a better backstory than 'a game I played was shut down' if you want to be taken seriously in your war on corporate greed.

I've noticed this glitch for the whole year. I don't think it's related to recent events.

Yeah I realized that even though I'd been cursing the daylights out of the Council Pool Room (with the sectioned glowy cement-walled pools in 2 levels and scaffolds above)... I will miss them.
It's not like I don't know every damn nook and cranny of those things, but ... they won't be there.Why is it my terminology of "Nazi Bath House" never caught on?Quote:Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
Am I the only person who didn't mind the Council Fish Farm? Granted, I got a little tired of it after the fifth mission in a row on the same map. I won't miss the Citadel TF.
