Anyone getting this? looks amazing. Just hope the apparent subscription fees are just rumours..Apparently because it's classed as a MMORG it more than likely be subscription every month? Anyone hear anything?

"If you want to whip up a hero or a villain and go at it in DC Universe Online, you'll need to pay $14.99 a month to get all of the MMO action."

What do people think of this ive seen a few friends playing it but ive no idea how to team up so ive been just doing the missions alone.

The world they have created is stunning its huge, but fairly confusing to figure out whats going on but im getting the grips with it. The aiming can be a pain with the guns locking onto objects not enemies etc.

This could be great with a group of 4 or 5.

Grayditch · 16-01-2011, 17:20

It's a really good game. The true test will be to see if I wish to keep paying when the month is up, or just trade it. The cities are very well made and the music is just incredible.

Mr. K · 16-01-2011, 22:10

I reckon I'm gonna crack and pick this up shortly...

Its a good game, runs very smooth for a game still in its first week live. Tis very lightweight, not a game to spend months and months doing daily quests and raids (though they are there if you want), but more play for a month when you need a break from the more traditional MMO style games.

Combat is great, far FAR more interactive than WoW or such, but there is a high prevelance of stun-locks and knockdowns. Had one Alert (DCUO's dungeons) where one group of mobs kept doing AoE stuns that knocked me back again and again so couldnt move or heal so was insta death

Also seems it beat SW:ToR to the punch as it has full voice for almost all the quests Ive seen, plus a few cutscenes in the quest chains.

As for updates, Brokers (auction houses) are confirmed for the first update (hopefully start of Feburary) as the UI was buggy in beta so they held it back to tweak it. And semi-confirmed by Chris Cao (game director) of a big update to tie in with the Green Lantern movie centred around the green and Yellow lantern corps. Could tie into the first of 4 rumoured extra powersets almost ready (Hard Light, Rock, Electric, Atomic) then theres some bright days ahead for DCUO.

Sinestro Corps content?! I've always avoided MMOs because I know what my life would become and I felt no great connection. Now there's a DC one and an SW one shortly? Kinda glad they cancelled the Marvel one...

You might even say its "Brightest Day" is ahead of it...*snort*

Well there is a "Ring War" Event every half hour or so that has the green and yellow lanterns tearing into each other in part of Metropolis and ya have to defeat 5 players on the opposite side while aiding the lanterns on your side.

Was never a big DC fan so learning about the heros and villains is kinda cool. now if they made a Marvel game as good as this then thats it, life over, get rid of all my pants as never leaving the house again and want to play in comfort.

Yeah, tempted by this but just don't think it's for me. But I'd be all over a Marvel one.

gloobag · 17-01-2011, 10:57

Is there much of a difference between the finished product and the beta?

I was in the beta and found myself getting kinda bored by the time I'd reached level 10+, all the quests seem to be pretty much the same: "kill x number x enemy type"

No one seemed to be teaming up, everyone was just going solo. Also found the menu interface to be painfully slow.

I love the idea of this game on paper, but the beta really has put me off it.

TheDoc · 17-01-2011, 15:05

Hearing nothing but bad stuff about this personally.

Was looking forward to this to hopefully take a way a little from my serious WoW play, but the people who are trying it out arnt impressed.

MMO's live or die by their endgame material, and seemingly this game doesnt really have one.

Added the facts its very much pvp based, just doesnt bode well for me anyway

NotorietyH · 17-01-2011, 15:36

I'm really enjoying it anyway. Playing on the PS3 and pleasantly surprised how well it works on a console, yet keeping a lot of MMO staples. It has everything I enjoyed about playing Warcraft, but I was never too into the end game stuff, and was happy enough to solo most of the time, so DC suits me grand that way. Also the subject, the world and all are much more appealing to me being a bit of a Batman-junkie, so I'm having a great time with it. Whether it holds my attention or not is another thing, will see how I go at the end of the month.

Pretty much everyone I've talked to who's played it has really enjoyed it, and I've seen loads of positive write ups about it and positive talk on podcasts and the like. Maybe it's a PC thing. I could see how it could be frustrating on PC, because it is very much designed with a console in mind and I can imagine it could seem very limited to a PC player especially coming from other MMOs.

All in all I'm nicely surprised by just how much I'm enjoying it and how much fun I'm having with it. Looking forward to see how they support it in the future.

Grayditch · 17-01-2011, 15:51

Yeah, it's probably been done and done better on PC, but I (with my primitive console standards

) am very happy with the game. Some of the heroes people have designed and named are so hilariously bad.

Don't think you're meant to be posting/saying stuff like that in Games, goes against the charter I think
