One thing that has always bugged me about CoH is the lack of giant monsters around similar to WoW. Sure, CoH literally has a monster type call Giant Monster, of which appear due to certain circumstances or in specific areas, but it was never to the scale that WoW. The epic battle in CoH is the Hamidon, which is just a giant, uninteresting blob and is nothing special other than it requiring numerous people to kill. WoW I felt had more interesting bosses in even some of their low level dungeons. There are many things I do enjoy more so than WoW though. Particularly the fact that "gear" in the traditional sense does not exist making much of the game level dependent instead of, "LFM Naxx, pst with gear info and specs. Must have yellow shirt and black hair, no gnomes allowed unless married".
I played the trial of this game and had a bit of trouble getting into it, to be honest. It seemed a bit dull as far as combat animations/feel. In fairness, I didn't get too far in it, though. Things like that generally turn me off of a game pretty fast.
@Dancing-Ketchup: I was sold on the serious footage alone, but all this talk about kankles, tea-bagging, bikinis, physics etc. = camping out at the store.
While I approve heartily of awesome customization everywhere possible, and I love Capcom's take on it most of the time, they do have a tendency to overdo the sexuality sometimes...

the ability to teabag a colossus, halfnaked from the inside tells me win.
Thermal regulation however is fail. always. I didn't like it in Golden Sun I didn't like it in whatever other game i'm picturing and i damn sure don't like it in some game on some platform i don't own.
@Dancing-Ketchup: I had no idea what a kankle was. Thanks urban dictionary ;o Perhaps if you can make your character super large, you can also call her kankle-saurus.
@KichiGuy: I had the Bill Clinton cameo in Family Guy to thank for that... i thought us europeans had weird fetishes... well... we do..Germany really puts it share of dimes in that bag.. yes... a pun
I'm sure it will be explained that half-naked women actually have these really nifty nanomachine watchamacallits on their skin that happens to act exactly like a 50-pound armour.
And men just choose to burden themselves with real armour because they don't want to look girly.
Anyone else have Kotaku taking very long to load stories and giving warnings about a script running too much/too slow that may make computer stop working?
@Gam3r: Yeah, probably one of the random ads is poorly programmed. It's a delicate business trying to make a program that can plant a virus on your computer regardless of the web browser used.
@Dancing-Ketchup: Good to know I'm not alone. What's the best way to tell Kotaku about the problem? I tried the Report a Bug link below but it brought me to Gawker and they wanted me to create an account/give email and password.
@FrigidAir44: What stereotype? Dunno about you, but when I think about soldiers soldiering through an icy planet doing soldiery stuff, the first thing that naturally comes to mind is: can I play as a naked chick with jiggly jubblies?
@butterbandit: WTF is wrong with you? Every time I play online all you Americans can think of is tea-bagging people? Like hello, it wasnt funny in Halo or any other game that allows the player to duck so move the fuck on will you?

Then again I find it far more complex to get into and learn, I still don't know what half of the features are for.

Thermal regulation in Golden Sun? I don't remember anything about thermal regulation in Golden Sun. Are you maybe thinking Boktai?
