CoX is kind of funny - depending on your rig, you can actually get better performance from higher settings than lower settings.
It definitely heats up the CPU more than other games for me. Other games barely touch the CPU temp and just heat up the GPU. CoX on the other hand, heats up the CPU and barely touches the GPU.
Older games like Everquest 2 and CoH tend to use more CPU resources than GPU. I guess that GPUs sucked more than 7 years ago, so graphics were designed to be more CPU intensive.
I tried this game today and in 12 years of MMO gaming, wherein I have played dozens of MMOs, this ranks as the worst game ever. How the hell they got people to pay for it is a mystery. No wonder it went F2P.
Don't most games go F2P quicker than 8 years? I wasn't there at launch, but only because I knew I would more time playing than doing homework. I have 7 anniversary badges and have kept a constant subscription--even when I was living abroad with an internet connection so slow I couldn't stream YouTube videos.
------------- The less you expect, the more you'll be surprised. Hopefully, pleasantly so.
