WTF? Why aren't we causing train accidents, and robbing banks, or stealing the crown jewels.

hahahahahahhahaa

Wahhhh... Why aren't we robbing banks as criminals...?

Oh wait... Bank heists are a pretty big part of this game...

My point... Stand up : )

Anyways... I won't argue if it's worth the $50 for a new game, as the argument can be made/defended for every other new game. It's very similiar to CoH because it has to be, though they've added a ton to the mission system, but it's never enough.

For me, I was interested in it until they announced/added 'Enhancement Diversification' (ED)... It's a system whereby you get diminishing returns on adding the same enhancement (like damage) to powers. It's also a system with the word 'diversification' which is just another way for the developers to pigeon hole and limit players choices...

I had already cancelled CoH (for the 'last' time) a month or so ago, and I had gotten into the CoV beta for 12+ months of subscribed time, so obviously, I've played the game a bit... CoV adds a lot to the whole, but ED just takes it away...
