[edit] "Unlike City of Heroes..."

There are too many comparisons between Champions and City of Heroes. It assumes too much knowledge of the latter game on the part of the reader. I want to find out what the subject is like, not what it isn't like, because it isn't like a lot of things. Unlike Star Wars,, Champions Online is a game, not a movie. Unlike a tomato, Champions online is not a food product... and so on. What is it like? --CorbettGM (talk) 22:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Because 1. it uses an advanced version of the City of Heroes engine. 2. Same developer. It's basically City of Heroes II without the CoH license. JAF1970 (talk) 22:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

How does that obviate our responsibility to tell what the subject is? Besides, the phrase unlike City of Heroes is used about half a million times in the article. It gets extremely repetitive.  :) --CorbettGM (talk) 01:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. As the article expands as new info comes, they'll get more spread out. JAF1970 (talk) 02:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that this article makes too many references to City of Heroes. They are two completely separate games. What's more, the article assumes particulars that are tentative/unverified. It shouldn't present information as what the game "is" but what the game developers claim it will be. The entire article reads too much like an ad for CO.--Grammar Vigilante (talk) 04:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Nothing in this article is "tentative" or "unverified". I made sure of that. JAF1970 (talk) 18:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
