If you could only play one game what would it be, Aion or Champions Online?

aion looks so much more interesting than champions to me but i want to wait till i here more about aion from beta players until i decide to buy it or not. i doubt ill play champions ever.

Ive played Aion extensively and champions for a couple months now.  Im picking them both up, but I bought the lifetime for champions.  Aion is good and all, I just think NA is going to get the same back seat support we got from them in Lineage 2.

I guess we'll see, but I do plan on subbing to both of them.  However, Im having a lot more fun in Champions than I have been in the Aion chinese retail and the NA beta.  Something about Aion's combat system just doesnt grip me like Champions.

 Honestly, I have no clue. I voted Aion because I've played Aion, but I haven't played CO. The only superhero MMO that I've played yet is CoH / CoV. I didn't much like it (them), but that was probably more the game than the sub-genre, so if CO does it "better", then I might go with CO. I will almost definitely eventually try both, but not likely to run out for either immediately after release, unless I win one of those free copies of Aion (and I never win anything so... lol)

CO is fun to me, Aion is a Korean-themed WoW clone... to me. So, Champions. Aion is more polished but that isn't enough to make me play a game.

Aion hands down. 

You should add a neither button, cuz that's what I'd push. I've played both and don't care for either. Aion is the same old MMO BS with wings rather than mounts, and CO is just a poorly conceived console superhero game with small zones and restrictive 'shards' that make it seem like hardly an MMO at all.

Wheres the neither option? Id quit MMO's before Id play either one of em

Didn't play Aion, but I heard it was just another very polished MMO. Key word of course being, 'just another'.

Champions character creation is a game in itself, and the gameplay is more fun, cell shaded graphics are different and its a comic art style. I like it am in the beta enjoying it. Fun

Can I skip both for something better?

What makes them so confident for me to pay 15 bucks every month? Do they even have customer service? I hope it is not web page type customer service.

 I have tried both betas... and I voted Aion. The combat for some reason had the "it" factor for me and thats all I need. Currently playing daoc for the new server merger prob won't get Aion right at release but maybe I hvant followed it close but I have played MMO's way to long and I know immediately for me if the combat is there and it has pvp I will be there the rest is just fluff :)

I'm glad there are people on this world who think like me.

Honestly, if I had to choose between Aion and CO, I'd choose nothing.

Havent tried Aion yet but I dont like the art style/graphics and it doesnt seem to be any differnt to WoW so Im gonna pass.

Played some in CO open beta and I cant understand why this game will have a monthly sub.... Cant find much positive to say outside character creation.  

Actually had more fun in the Fallen Earth beta even though its not my kind of game at all, and the performance is very bad.

So neither for me :)

Heh

Same way reversed

Aion is fun to me, CO is a super hero themed Wow clone.

:)

Each to their own I love the asian art style, PVP and having played Aion a lot both beta and chinese retail its definately my choice.

There was some element's of CO I did enjoy but its just not quite my game. Although I did enjoy my Blade looking and acting character Its a game I couldnt see myself commiting enough time to justify a sub.

I chose Aion because I liked what i saw in the beta. I never cared for CO.

i like them both but Aion is going to be my main MMO until FFXIV comes out.....and god im tired of ppl calling everything a wow clone or like wow or wow this wow that wow has and will not been the first or best mmo god lol im so tired of seeing WoW on every post

Brilliantly stated.

I would have to say Aion would be my choice if I had to pick, I would also drop Aion for FFXIV when it is released.
