Worth playing?

[CoolBeans]

The steam reviews are a turn off, but i played back when it first came out and loved it and im getting into the mood for a superhero game again (RIP CoH/CoV) Is the game still worth returning to for a new player? i dont remeber anything about the game and is a sub worth it?

SAme question. CoH/CoV huge fan and player back in the day, but life, etc... had not come around to this until it was suggested to me to check out again, read the reviews, same reaction: seems like a turn off.

So, is this good, decent, waste of time?

Lots of super heroes, fun, grinding and exploring.

If you're coming back these few days, please remember to pick up the free Specialist AT. It's free for this week only and it's pretty good now.

Here is my review http://steamcommunity.com/id/Running-Target/recommended/9880

No, I'd say it isn't. It got boring real fast, and even after I took a break from the game and came back, it still got boring pretty fast. I Un-subbed from the game as a gold member and my champions account is now collecting dust somewhere in the void, as it should be. The game lacks immersion and frankly feels ruled by cookie-cutter builds. (Additionaly, the auto win nightwarrior builds got old, after using them and having them get used against me, pvp isn't much fun anymore let alone the bland and repetative pve...) Better games out there with even better character creation if you look.

One of the best "hidden gem" MMORPG's out IMO, character bulding + true comic book feel is a pure win.

As a huge coh fan, sadly it did not appeal to me very well, for one thing coh was big on group mechanics and sadly hardly anyone even talks to you in groups in this game and while the mechanics may be decent its hard to tell while your leveling, and it seems there is no reason to group for leveling.

The powers to me are lacking allot of super power flair that coh had not to mention the depth, while the customization is unique the leveling if getting new powers is scarce and not very interesting.

The actual character creation is on par of not better then coh, however its not as unique to me because I prefered cohs cartoony look to this comic book look.

One thing this game does better then coh by miles is travel powers, huge factor for roleplay here.

Then for actual combat, it tries to be action based but it isnt, I found the combat boring compared to coh, allot of powers lacked umph, I didnt care for the sound effects either, but its really odd as this game tries to be fast paced but it seemed even clunkier then coh, and coh seemed to go at a faster pace then this game, not to mention coh felt allot more chaotic in a good way when there was allot of people around.

Now maybe this experience changes at later levels, and do keep in mind I played for free while I tried this, this game could of been updated but I tried this again 4 or 5 months ago, but looking at the updates I dont see allot of big changes, and yes I did play it during the rework of the tutorial and etc.

If you like group mechanics Teleios Ascendant might be for you.. if you have the patience for it, it can be very difficult.

successful runs range from 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on how well you can get your team to work together.

Theres a guide on steam I think for it as well.
