DC Universe Online

Is anyone looking to play DCUO? So far it is looking promising, so it's likely that I will buy the game.

Release Date: Jan. 11th, 2011 (PC & PS3)
Official Site: http://www.dcuniverseonline.com/

Ill definately be buying it, always liked the concept.
I wonder what they will do to people trying to copy marvel hero designs though, like im sure day 1 ill find someone in a faux spiderman costume, though im not sure what mine will be like. Definately mind powers though!

i like batman

I'm sure it won't be that big of a deal. In fact, I think they might have hidden ways to create costumes like the original villains/heroes anyways.



Cool story bro.

Anyone playing this. Decided to get this today, still downloading the client though.

I have a friend that gave me a buddy key so will be playing for 10 days (after downloading it of course. . . still working on that) hopefully my laptop can handle it xD

Wasn't interested at first, but that might change.

I will give it a go if there is some kind of free trial like with World of Warcraft or EVE Online; if not, yyeaahhh I've never paid for an MMO and I'm not changing that any time soon. Waste of cash and time, frankly.

Though the glimpse of Giganta in the cinematic trailer got my somewhat interested... :3

Finished downloading, yay. If anyone plays, what server/ign are you on?

I was amped to get this game. I wanted to create a villain that would pwn superman and the other JLA. Then I find out that there is a $15 a month fee despite this being on the PS3. Needless to say my visions went up in smoke. What a disappointment.

I'm on the Virtue and Vice server. Character name is Viper Pit.

Was on a PvP server first, but got fed up with level 30's ganking me when I'm level 9. Which is a shame because I like my character design better than my PvE design.

How does it compare to the other super hero MMOs? i heard one is going F2P soon.

Well, besides the whole recognizable NPC's/Voices, combat is pretty different. Right and left mouse buttons are your melee attacks. Combo's depend how long you hold them and in what order you push them. Have to unlock the combo's first though.

Skills are equipped 1-6, 7 is consumables, and I'm not sure what 8 is for yet. Skills cost a bunch of energy, so melee a lot.

Your mouse is linked to the camera. Movement keys are standard wsad. E is the action key. F is your movement ability.

Targeting is the tab button. Shift is the block and break out of a crowd control spell button. Space is jump.

Your costume is dependent on your equipment. Once you unlock a piece of equipment, you can use that skin instead of whatever you have on at the moment.


So far boss battles have all been instanced, but everything else has been open world.

I'm liking it just for the gameplay and recognizable characters. Not sure about the story yet though. So far it's just been stop these bad guys to get ready for brainiac or Joker telling you to blow shit up and push people off ledges.
------------

Champions Online is the one going F2P. Champions has a better character creation system. Has standard mmo gamelay. Not sure about the whole story, I skipped most of the scenes and didn't read the dialogue.

DCUO is now Free to Play(with limitations, of course).
I'm definitely giving it a try.

Click the link below for the .exe file to bring up the DCUO menu and start downloading. The game is 14.1 gigs. So it'll take a while.

14 gigs and the way the download is on the server its gonna take years D:

Took me about 5 hours.
I've had worse.

I like free games, I'm willing to try this out for the trophies since its an easy platinum, but I hear that you have to pay for the Legendary Access to get them, can anyone confirm this for me so I won't have to go into any trouble downloading a freebie with no trophies?

Sorry, I'm playing on PC, so I have no idea how the PS3 version works.

took about the same time too, nice to be back playing again.

Just throwing this out....
New DLC expansion Pack called "The Last Laugh." It's for the new Tier 4 Pvp armor. Helps you get "Marks of Strategy." I might consider buying this since heroes might overpower me if I stick with T3 armor ._.

EDIT* Also allows you to use the new "Shield" weapons

Just wanted to know if anyone in here play that game either on pc or ps3? if so how did you get started and are there an actual guide book to this game other then this Razor Guide I see floating around.
