Champions latest Update

Lots of reports came out this week. And the forums have again exploded with Cryptic has ruined my game. Please cant we all just get along. I play for hours on City X and every week we have our group play Champions. So I guess I can say I love the progenitors of Champions Online.

And so I'm going to request that we all take a breath, and hold it........ keeping holding....... Are you blue yet? I feel and I may be wrong here but I feel they have taken the Marvel Game they were making and have tried to repurpose it for Champions. I think I have even read this somewhere. Now to short cut the problems they had when Marvel dropped out they are having to replace the content with something and it was quicker to purchase Champions and plug it into the hole left by Marvel.

Now comes my Pure Conjecture. I think that Marvel wanted a Game that felt like Ultimates and it's other Xbox titles. Cryptic then spent time coding the game and was left with a arcade game engine that Marvel had insisted on and had to find new content to fill it with.

Now we can debate the use of Champions and if the choice of to us that IP was the best choice for the game engine or not, butm we are not going to have a real definitive answer for Many Months. I for one would be happier with a more City of feel to the game but this is a different game and so I will wait for it before deciding if its good or nor.

So lets wait and see and be patient most of all. After all Metropolis wasn't destroyed in a day. (you mean it was oops)
