Champions Online Screenshots: 'A Brief Glimpse of Action in Canada'

In the beta, loving the game completely. I will definitely buy.

Absolutely worthless if you can't play a villain.

See this is the very reason why I want to play as a Villian, so can I take revenge upon Canada for give us pop sensations Nickelback & Celine Dion! muwahah!

I posted an overly long analysis of whether Marvel or DC universe ported better to an MMO, but the truth is that the Champions universe ports better than either of them.

Granted, they are not using the tabletop version's ruleset with anything approaching 100% fidelity, but the power sets, characters, rules of the road, and setting were tailored to exist in a game where players needed to be competitive, but not overwhelming in the universe. While there are powerful NPC's, there is no real Superman-type hero that makes PC's go "We can never get to that level without breaking the game."

The villains are powerful, but they exist within a cohesive ruleset. There is no Parallax-type enemy that is so far out of reach of the characters' power levels as to be impossible to express properly in an MMO.

Is there any PVP at launch ? Or can you only be a hero like CoH was at launch? All PVE just gets boring to me too quickly in a mmorpg.

What a bunch of assholes. Toronto is starting to look more like the 2nd last picture. Assholes. It wasn't even cold here today. :/

yeah i'm gonna get it. I dont care if it sucks it should be fun for a couple months

Hey I can see my house! :P

"Xbox 360 release coming later on."
