this game has really lost almost all popularity. im not sure this game is even worth it to continue to work on. now would b a good time to scrap this game and make more of an MMO with DC characters.

All the players on PS3 and PS4 would disagree. But random statements based on nothing work too.

Champions Online is a true pc mmo. This is a waste of time on PC. Its a straight up console game.

well im into the PC version of this game. this game is 1 of the few that cross over to the console. players/people who say its not a true mmo is full of it; OR they do not not what the word MMO stands for. for those who feel like I see MMO stands for Massive Multi-player Online. Now this game has twice as many players as the Marvels version of an MMO which is to much like Diablos Stuff. So please folk if you dont have nothing nice please keep it to yourselves or post it on forums no one is going to troll/flame you on.

Champions.... Really... Champions is a diluted CoH that they stuck a by now VERY obscure PnP RPG on top of after losing the Marvel license.

 

It will be the bronze medal for many years to come.... Then it might advance to silver.

There are things I like about DC Universe (I sometimes play on PC), but the combat is button-mashy in a style akin to every console action game port I have ever played.  And that is a turn off for me.  But it hasn't stopped from occasionally mashing it's buttons.

In my opinion a good PC MMO utilizes way more buttons than a game controller has, and I'm not accounting for text chat.  And that is a traditional MMORPG line of thought.  I've played or tested most every MMO that has released since the original EverQuest, and when I think MMO, I want traditional.

DCU was designed like a number of other games to be cross-platform.  It's a good market play if you want a diverse player base.  But in my opinion the only MMO that has done the cross-platform thing right while keeping the traditional MMO feel is Final Fantasy XIV.
