I don't think the graphics are that bad at all, to be honest they only have to be better then CoH to be good enough. As to will I buy, I always wait until launch reviews regardless of how good I think a game is I wait.
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
/Cheers,

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

The graphics are screaming... coming to mobile as well. LOL. You can tell by the interface. I really hate these mobile games GRRR.
They have about a number of full costumes that are finished by the artists, but need the coders to reduce their network footprint, AKA how much bandwidth a piece uses in the game, and reduce clipping to a bare minimum. They have capes ready, but they clipped too much and moved too freely (for example, the full cape on one of my pre-test characters flipped over her head and stayed there), so they decided to not release them with this test. I expect them in game by the time they run the invasion test.

And yes, HGC isn't a AAA studio so SoH won't look like anything out today. No AAA studio was interested in going all-in on making a new superhero MMO so indies had to pop up and attempt to give CoH players something to play.
I've got a feevah, and the only prescription... is more cowbell.
Cellulite.
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
Then COH goes getting relaunched everywhere making this game and all those like it in progress basically redundant, yes?
Probably should just toss in the towel now.

Why would the spiritual successor projects suddenly become redundant? CoH is old. I use to play it and considered playing it again but it's too little too late. SoH is a new experience with a new generation of graphics. I may not care for the setting but I'm sure I can eventually find an avenue from which I can have a good time playing it.
Why would anyone want to throw in the towel when it's so close to launch? Might as well finish what's been started. Let's take this puppy all the way and try something new.
I'd say the biggest question here is "Why do you care?" You obviously don't look like the type that wants to play SoH. So... WTF are you even doing commenting about a game you're not going to play? There's tons of games out there that I don't play and you don't see me commenting on how I think other people are stupid for playing them just because I don't like the looks of those games. People play what they like, it's just that simple.
I think we all know the real value of your opinions and comments regarding SoH. Somewhere in the range of stale doughnuts to a bottle of trucker piss.

Weird eh?
I see this as a move to encourage more people to donate 50 bucks so they can continue development.
Not a bad strategy, tossing backers a bone to drive more donations has worked fabulously well for SC and even COE managed to raise over a million from just a few bad videos and some way late maps.
End of 2020 and an early access launch is probably the best they can hope for....the money is running out....assuming they ever really had any.

"Something is off about the graphics in this game. It feels so, yesterday. Or like a single person working on the game using a free engine, 3D models they downloaded for free coupled with animations they bought for 10$."
I agree. Something is off about the graphics. - Knowing that the work was done by a new studio, do I really care about off-graphics when I'm willing to try a CoH successor? No. Do you care? Yes, obviously, for whatever reason/s.
"so the setting sux but you will force yourself to like it somehow...OK then"
I never said the setting sux. You said that. I said "I may not care for the setting but I'm sure I can eventually find an avenue from which I can have a good time playing it." You even included it when quoting me.
I also said "I'm sure I can eventually find an avenue from which I can have a good time playing it." - I already have some ideas on things I can eventually do and topics of conversations to share with others while in the game so even if I force myself to play a game with a setting that I don't care for that force doesn't constitute much at all.
"where do you see any indication it is close to full release? They've got a character creator and one unfinished "city" far as I can see"
I never said anything about a full release. Studios can release games without being fully ready. They've been doing it for years now as so-called Soft Launches, if I'm not mistaken. That's also something I don't care for but nobody cares about my opinion on that.
"I don't actually care."
Oh, I highly doubt that. You comment on SoH articles just so you can be negative about a game you don't like and don't intend to play and you want to shit on anyone that holds some positivity on it.
I look at that 34,000+ posts indicator and I see just how meaningless it really is. If I dedicated myself to shitting on people and games that I don't like I could have a number just as high and it would be just as worthless as yours.
"once the insults start flowing ...the game has been won."
Your words certainly speak for themselves. Enjoy your easily won battle. I'll bet you've racked up a mountain of them by now from all the people and games you've shit on just because it amuses you.

The rot started 40 years ago I tell you. When mainframes became portable. People just shouldn't be allowed to play at home. Games for mainframes only!
is a clone of COH character creation .... i dont see the "mobile" thing here.
Totally agree, I was gobsmacked I always saw everyone positive about this. This looks like a student project.
I agree about the graphics but I am having a really hard time understanding your thinking on reviews. Why let gatekeepers with an agenda do your thinking for you? Is this the only medium you put stock into reviews? Did you let the reviewers tell you not to watch Chappelle's special, or Burr's, or 300?
I don't and never have been able to connect the relevancy of what someone else thinks about something and what I think about something. In fact, most of my favorite games were reviewed poorly when they were released by both critics and audiences (influenced by critics since they just parrot the same tripe).
If anything, there seems to be a reverse correlation - if the critics and nincompoops hate it, its probably a real game with depth and complexity and I'll greatly enjoy it.
My big tip is something you may already be doing. Always read the lowest scoring reviews first, in Metacritic they will give a game 90 and tell you nothing you need to know. Same goes for people who downvote on Steam, check those out. It is the review that gives 70 that raises your concerns that the mouse and keyboard controls for this port are sloppy. So there you may want to wait until that's sorted out, it may never get sorted out mind you. Another thing to watch is gaming journalists love anything new, they nearly all think gaming is too centred around shooters and driving games. So "new" formats are given a huge benefit of doubt, even if they are in fact poor games.
A personal peeve, narrative "games", they can have virtually no game play, they would make better books and films but we get a game. Some are great, but most for me fail to enthral. The reviews they get would make you think mana had rained from heaven when many are just walking simulators with a so-so story. Also be careful about games that deal with "human interest", relationships and so on, which reviewers seem to think will appeal to players of any demographic.
