Anybody get City of Heroes Yet?

[IceDigger]

Going to pick this one up today. Heard its actually a fun mmorpg.

Not yet, but once again I repeat, NO CAPES. No villians either; if I do try it I'll probably at least wait for City of Villians to come out.

This game is actually fun! Go get it if you have not.

I really hope they put out an expansion pack that includes villians. Then I would so be all over this game. As is it sounds pretty unique and cool.

That would be the aforementioned 'City of Villians'. No word on the capes yet though.

 

[schi0249]

I didn't realize that was official. I knew there were rumors of it, but that was it. Very cool. Can't wait for that.

Is there a demo of some type somewhere so I can see if it runs on my system?

Also, why is it that publishers of MMORPGs expect people to pay a subscription fee and pay full purchase price for a game that can only be played on their servers? What are you buying for that initial $40 other than a piece of plastic, a glossy box, and a "free" month of service? I could understand the game being $40 if there's a single-player mode, but when it's online-only it seems like the purchase price should go down. A lot.
