Costumes amuse me, as does shooting lasers out of my eyes and/or hands. Also? reviews say the character creation system is "more fun than spore" and that you can waste 90 minutes perfecting a toon.

I grabbed it off steam. Anyone else have it/curious? I am installing it now, so no fanboyish commentary

It's been released? or is it an open beta thing? I've been very interested in how this comes out.

yeha i got it on Steam earlier.

VERY VERY fun. the character creater alone is like a fucking game, it really is better than spore. Geez.

i have a psuedo knight in white who build energy with Force Blasts (beams of energy) then if they get close i have Clobber (duh) and the Room Sweeper attack which hits AOE and sends ppl flying. Also: i can fly.

You can pretty much do anything with your character. I sort of made Superman with eye beams and unstoppable punches, but i have seen a lot of crazy shit by other people.

the videos of this game on their site are a pretty good representation of what it is.

the "monster" body type with the beast running dynanmic is pretty hilarious, and i made an alt who is a dual gun wielding acrobat. At some point he gets a mini gun - im just saying.

I'll have to check that out, did you play City of heroes? I'm curious if the game play is similar. CoH has a great character creator too but then the game play was really repetitive.

I might pick this up since nothing else is really holding my interest right now.
CoH was definately repetative, I played it for like 2 months before I got bored as hell.

i played CoH for a bit didnt like it much. i like this a lot, and i have uninstalled at one point or another: warhamemr online, Conan, PS, uh, what im trying to convey is that i like wow still and this, it seems to stand up decently. Its not wow, but its different and its fun.

I have now made a dual sword wielding asssasin named The Librarian. i have maxed out her chest put her in panties hose a garter corset and tie. JUDGE ME NOT.

You should always expect bugs in beta, I mean, that's the point, to flush them out. How was the game play?

floob what kind of character did you make?

i hit lvl 10 and i can SideKick now or whatever. i assume it brings me to your level or you to mine while we play?

did you get it off steam, floob?

-- edit

the game seems to patch every few days with 100 mb files. happily they download in like 30 secs.

Also, i cant make heads nor tales out of the itemization/item system, and unlike wow not a single person has asked me to join their supergroup
