dragon's dogma's character creator is in a weird place; on the one hand it's great because you can make lolis, shotas, traps, reverse traps, amazons, and giants, but on the other hand why do you have to pick from preset body shapes instead of just using sliders? great game anyway though
surprised nobody mentioned PSO2 yet, customization is the primary part of the game's monetization scheme so the overwhelming majority of the customization stuff isn't available from the start BUT unlike most jew2pay games you can actually buy it all with in-game cash from other players so you can still make cute girls as a freeter if you want

>city of heroes was dead for longer than it was alive.
it's funny because I've heard people say similar things about TERA, PSO2, Warframe, and Path of Exile lately, and the thing is, it's like: "ok, but when was the last time you played?"
MMORPGs are living games; they change over time and yeah you might get your fill of the content available at the time, or you might even feel that it has major flaws that need addressing, but don't think after you've been away from the game for a year or more that it's the same deal. these games sometimes change drastically over time and I'm not saying it's always for the better, but I keep hearing this remark along the lines of "oh yeah, I played that" followed by authoritative-sounding opinions on the game and every time when I ask "ah when did you play" it's always like "I dunno like 2 years ago" and every time I cringe because you don't fuckin' know what the game is like anymore. you have NO IDEA now. MMOs aren't like your regular offline games, you don't get to pass judgement on it after playing it in the beta. at best you can say "I didn't like what was there at the time" and that's fine, you even might get away with "it didn't seem like something I'd be into" but years on, games change
anyway from your description of CoH I'd guess you played on Virtue server which is where all the roleplayfags were; that game had a thriving endgame with tons of content after the first couple of years and taking even one character through all the endgame content took dozens of hours because you'd hit max level WELL before you'd finished it all. that was back when people would actually play content in an MMORPG for the story and challenge instead of simply running the one single endgame raid over and over to get new gear.
and then shortly before the game folded they added incarnate powers which, yeah, they were late, and yeah, the system was overhyped and grindy, but it was still fucking awesome. it was so cool to turn your already bad-ass superhero character into a literal god.

they are mine, but I didn't know any of those people at all; I got invited to the closed beta of issue 20 and had to sign an NDA and shit, we were all random people from random servers
there was a whole zone themed around voodoo shit and around that time they added a powerset based on it too, so it's FAIRLY unlikely that it's the same person (not impossible though)

City of Heroes was good at the time because it filled a niche, but it was made at a bad time and couldn't adapt. That and the people behind it were shit.
I bought CoH just after launch, played for quite some time before taking a break, beta-tested for CoV and came back to it well after its launch. It was a great time even while the game was showing its age, but Cryptic was fumbling their company even during the game's high points.
What people noticed is that after a while, performance tanked. CoX became a memory hog with nothing to show for it - everything looked the same, and Cryptic's only excuse was the new physics engine which disagreed with anything less than ~8-12GB of RAM. That took a huge chunk out of the playerbase when they realized they couldn't play it on their run-of-the-mill toaster anymore but they could play World of Warcraft with the settings bumped up. It might not seem like a big deal, but at the time MMOs survived because you could play it with a shitty pre-built from Circuit City without a second thought.
It was that paired with the introduction of more strict focus on metagaming that discouraged actual fun and creativity. Builds weren't interesting anymore and balancing issues left lots of powersets unused or even discouraged. When PvP was introduced it all went to shit and really people only got excited for world events and roleplay, the rest was just filler.
New players pissed off the old when they pointed out the very slow and rhythmic combat newer games left behind, graphical improvements in the industry made the game look very garish and old compared with even the most grindy F2P Korean MMO, and Cryptic hemorrhaging money after the failure of Marvel Universe Online turning into the mousefart that was Champions Online with its promises of console crossplay fading away, and selling off the licenses of their most beloved and only notable videogame to NCsoft - of all companies - which proceeded to foist microtransactions onto its heavily dedicated yet dwindling barely six-figure playerbase certainly didn't help things.
now fuck off and let the game rot in its grave

> It might not seem like a big deal, but at the time MMOs survived because you could play it with a shitty pre-built from Circuit City without a second thought.
man, don't talk to me like I wasn't there. I know all about it. I played everquest for 3 years, FFXI for 8 years, CoX frequently from '04 to '12, and tons of other games meanwhile.
I was there from beta until the bitter end and I know the game never became a performance hog. for one thing, the physics stuff required an AGEIA card that nobody had and for another thing the game had multi-threading support well before almost any other game even thought about adding it.
PvP came out in issue 4 and nobody played it and it was dead as fuck. here's a screenshot from 2010 of me and another player being amused at the mechanics in recluse's victory because neither of us, despite being long-time players, had ever even ventured in there. so your talk about the PvP making "it all go to shit" is just nonsense, particularly since PvP didn't even use the same stats as the regular PvE content.
one of the best things ABOUT CoX is that there WAS almost no meta-game, you could play whatever the fuck you wanted and make it work, my character in the screenshot was a corruptor (ranged DPS/buff hybrid, for those who didn't play) with a bunch of defense powers who could tank anything short of an arch-villain. In that screenshot I'd just won a PvP fight against a scrapper (melee DPS with strong defenses) because he couldn't burst me down faster than I could heal myself. that's certainly not a "meta" build in ANY game, but it worked great in that game. lots of builds that would be "off meta" in other games worked in that game, that was part of the beauty of it and one reason why everyone misses it so much.

this isn't what happened at all.
jack emmert and matt miller were the two guys who were the impetus behind city of heroes. their signature characters were statesman and positron. after the game was a success they differed in how to proceed – matt wanted to continue building the world they had created, and keep working on and improving their game, while jack wanted to seek big-name licenses and move on to the next big thing, essentially abandoning their playerbase. in the end, this division split the company and Matt *ALLOWED* Jack to take the Cryptic name so he could use it as a sort of credential since City of had been so popular.
The Marvel Universe Online thing was WAY LATER after Champions was even already out. Champions' creation had nothing to do with the failure of Marvel Universe Online; Matt and Jack wanted to make a Champions Online game when they made City of Heroes! They played Champions pen & paper together at college, which is where the idea for the game came from. When they couldn't get the Champions license, they made their own game, and that's why Jack made Champions Online when he left the team that would become Paragon Studios. It was AFTER he made Champions Online that he abandoned THAT project to go work on Marvel Universe, but his developers were like "fool me once…" and he never got it off the ground.
Matt and the team at Paragon Studios wanted to make City of a greater success but you got one thing right and that's that by the time they were ready to make another go of it the money just wasn't there because the playerbase HAD gotten smaller over the years, mostly due to the competition from newer, flashier games. the reason the fans are still bitter over the game's abrupt cancellation is that right BEFORE NCSoft decided to cancel it all indications were that the game was making money with its newly-implemented microtransactions, and it had just gotten some major content updates. the NCSoft cancellation came out of nowhere for a game with a game but a small-but-dedicated playerbase. look at other games from that period, like EverQuest or even Anarchy Online, both of which are still up and playable.
anyway, inconclusion, you're full of shit and clearly weren't there. I was there from alpha to omega and you just don't have the facts right.

PES is forever the better franchise (at least prior to 2013ish when it was still for the core fanbase) because not only all the "improvements" FIFA introduced over the years are copy and pasted from PES and ISS (minus the ability to mod players), PES has no "scripting", which, for those who are not in the know, is a fan made term related to the habit of modern FIFA games of arbitrarily choosing a winning or lucky side in a match based on the overall performance of both players, especially online, so that Jimmy the Toddler, who keeps losing because he's obviously too young to play, gets to win against Tyrone LeBron, who spends forty hours a week playing the game - which in turn makes him want to buy more (((gachashit packs))). Also PES had the objectively better music.

the power of being a free to play game with strong customization and cosmetic microtransactions out the ass
I played Champions for a long time too but quit in 2013 when I finally had to acknowledge that there simply wasn't going to be enough new interesting content (powersets, mainly) to make up for the subscription fee and the fact that there was really nothing left for me to do besides stand around and eRP, which, yeah, I mean, that can be entertaining but if I wanted that I'd go play Second Life which is frankly just way better for that activity (and where most of Champions' current players belong)

This is how I know you're retarded - Champions is the result of what was supposed to be MUO. Marvel backed out and they used what was supposed to be MUO to create Champions Online. Marvel even sued Cryptic for having the ability to recreate Marvel characters in the game - they didn't have a case, because Marvel employees had to make the characters on their own to get the point across.
Even Wikipedia has this information if you somehow forgot it.

I will say that characters with big anime eyes rarely look good in that game, I could never make it work on a regular human-seeming character but I had a beast-type catgirl and a goblin girl who were both really popular and won a lot of costume contests

CoX was the fastest mmo out there at the time. It was newer players that wanted to slow things down to wow-level combat, who pissed off the older players. i13 was utter cancer for what it did to the game's combat and I hope everyone that pushed for it rots in hell.

Those were fun times, but I eventually lost interest after we stopped getting new zones, power sets and storylines. I have no idea if new ones were ever released after I left. DCUO was pretty fun, but it became too much of a chore to keep up and the cash shop resets were utter cancer.

TES 6 is some years away at the very least. Does anyone else think Bethesda is going to continue the trend of shitting on modders like they've been doing with FO4 or will they fuck off with their kikery? FO4 modding community all but died out after they kept breaking it whenever they could. If they do unfuck themselves, will the character creator be good enough to surpass Skyrim? It would be a good opportunity to shill for better videocards if the graphical updates required them. My videocard from a decade ago still runs Skyrim at max settings, so I have zero reason to buy a new one at the moment and the games that I do play can be played don't require a new card.

I don't know. I think the game was doing rather well with the move to F2P with costume packs and the buy-able power sets. Not sure though, as I bought CoH/V and had a shitload of things unlocked so I have no idea what it was like for a pure F2P player. And I don't remember a strict meta-game outside of a few people trying to find busted builds mostly for funsies.
Also I don't know what you are smoking, but the sale of CoH to NCsoft was done two years before Champions Online was released. They were completely seperate entities at that point. It was rather noteworthy that CoH was actually churning out a profit at the time that it was taken down, and that the only reason why it died is because NCsoft didn't want competition for their new MMO Guild Wars 2. Something that infuriates me more and more in retrospect as that game was/is shit.
