Arc# 92382 -- "The S.P.I.D.E.R. and the Tyrant" -- Ninjas! Robots! Praetorians! It's totally epic! Play it now!
Arc # 316340 -- "Husk" -- Azuria loses something, a young woman harbors a dark secret, and the fate of the world is in your hands.

That's a part of it, but only a small part. The primary reason for the differences in the character creator is that they expect you to earn the majority of costume pieces. There's ups and downs to that approach.|

The body type issue is primarily because they didn't have time to get in all of what they wanted. Expect that to change.
Lastly, the creator UI is complete crap. Interestingly a much better UI exists the second you get into the game. My only hope is that they eventually allow you to save a specific collection of pieces to a file. Once you can do that, you will in theory have infinite costume slots.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
There's also their art decision to try and limit the more outrageous costumes that we can make here, so as to keep player outfits matching to the art style of the content.
I'd also heard something about the PS3 having a harder time than a PC when it came to rendering lots of diverse costumes and body shapes, so limiting what players could wear and what shapes they could be would help the PS3 sync with the PC.

The entire starting UI is crap. How many people in beta thought there were less costume options that there were, thought there were less colors than there were, though there were less power options than there were simply because they couldn't locate the scroll bars in the interface. It got better, but only slightly, before launch.|

Its like they designed the UI to look cool in a preview video, not actually be functional. Our character creation interface is simple, flat, boring, and usable. Theirs is noisy, flashy, animated, busy, and more confusing than the flight deck of a 747.
I've been beta testing software for 22 years. I'm not embarrassed to say I was one of those people that couldn't figure out how to quit the game in beta and had to search the forums for the answer, after using task manager to get me out the first time. WTH, UI designer?

Yup. Only disagreement I have with that is that I don't even think the UI looked cool.

Every time I see this topic bubble up, I hear Aretha Franklin singing, "You've got to think! (Think!) Think about what you're trying to do to me, yeah, think! (Think, think!) Let yourself go, let your mind be free!"
I think it's some kind of song about playing on the Freedom server.
(Yes, I know it's "You'd better think," not "You've got to think." But when I see this topic bubble up, that's not what Aretha is singing.)
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
I think of "Think" by Information Society.

Loved this review. That game has some of the worst controls I've ever experienced in a game. The permanent mouselook and lack of click/tab targeting is super, super annoying, to mention just two. Also worth noting is the horrible annoyance of super speeding around a lamp post. Lot of good ideas in that game, none done well.

By Yahtzee's standards that offhand comparison is quite high praise for CoH.
