Steamy Freebies

I played Champions Online back in 2009 when it came out and had a lot of fun, but sadly it became rather samey and boring after a while, so I decided to retire it. Now that it's free-to-play I decided why not have a go again... and on Steam no less! No reason not to, I'm not paying anything for it. I did a short video, which I uploaded to Youtube (which you can watch below or by click on my Youtube link) where I run around in a mission on one of my lower level characters. You should check it out!

I know the voice acting is shite; everyone who plays the game knows it and the graphics aren't amazing... it IS cel-shaded which is nice, but it's not done very well, which is bad.

All my characters had been locked in GOLD status, however, so I couldn't play them any-more without converting them to SILVER and destroying their power sets. Thusly, I'll leave Laul and Fate, and my other high level characters, to an unknown future. Instead, I took one of my lower level characters out of the pocket of eternal GOLD and melted her down into some SILVER, then gave her the Soldier line of talents which's basically a munitions specialisation... which works out awesome because she's based on and, indeed, designed after Vincent Valentine as a Turk. I did make another character to re-familiarise myself with the tutorial and see if I forgot anything TOO important (I didn't). I named her The Choir and made her quite a disturbing appearance and background, but maybe I'll get into that later if I decided to play more of the game.

It's more of the same really! It's not any different than the last time I played it, which isn't BAD, but it doesn't bode well for the length of time I would play it again for. The C-Store is the same as ever and while I'm guilty of paying for a few items in the beginning, it wasn't that much by any means and I did get some cool wings. But I digress; I don't see myself purchasing more from it... even if those cute little Japanese robot sidekicks are really, really, really cute and awesome. -_-

Well, I'm sure you can find more about Champions Online elsewhere, but if you're wandering around on it, you can find me @MythosEngineer in the game.
