Dude the game is based on superheroes, if you don't get why the cartoon feel is there then maybe you shouldn't be playing.

Must say I'm really looking forward to this game now, be interesting to see the different travelling powers.

The game is fantastic mate it really is as soon as this one comes out Conan will be put away for a long time.

Also the state that the game is in just 2 months before launch is also great.

From this Wednesday the servers are up pretty much all day so i can't wait to put some time in.

Hopefully this means STO won't suck if they are doing a good job with CO

i only have 1 fear. there are pvp in this game, and with the sandbox character builds its gonna be fucking HORRIBLE to balance.

in some games more then others, yes.

but in games like this that doesent have any pure class structures, where theres little to no limitations in what you can and cant purchase when it comes to skills. then you will get some pretty insanely overpowered builds going on.

last weeks pvp session i accidentally stumbeled upon a build that made me virtually unkillable while still hitting my enemies like a fucking freighter.

I believe the only hold up is really Microsoft and there testing/approval stage. Someone here at work said that you can only submit the same game (not code) 2-3 times for approval before it cannot be put forward again, so it forces people to get it right

I've been playing the game with the 360 pad alot lately while it isn't easier then using m/kb it certainly isn't unplayable.

I can't see why MS/Cryptic don't release a kb/mouse for these games and only let you use them with certain games.

I'm sure its fine, but alas for release Microshaft always hold these things up.

Not tried, but could you not plug in a USB Keyboard to the 360? or is it something you have to get a 360 KB to work?

USB keyboard is fine it works, FFXI on the 360 uses keyboards quite well, hell even the official snap on keyboard for the 360 works on FFXI.

Obviously for chat purposes they will have to let you use a keyboard for the 360 when it releases but i just hope you can do more with it besides chat.
