DC Universe Online

[Geneaux486]

Just started playing it a few days ago, was wondering if anyone else here played it as well.

[BTGBullseye]

Nope...

[Axeldeath]

Will never pay a subscription to play a game I've already bought.... ever

[Geneaux486]

Meh, pay for the software, pay for the continued service. It can be worth it, if the game is good enough, which this one is.

[BTGBullseye]

So what's it like? Based off of the World of Warcraft system, like virtually every other MMORPG?

[Geneaux486]

Not even slightly like WoW and that's why I gave it more than a passing glance. Outside of the fact that there are other players, it doesn't even feel like an MMO. Combat works like any other superhero type fighting game, with different moves you learn being integrated in the form of button combinations. In WoW you basically stand still and use your different abilites, but in this game, you're cranking out button combos, blocking, dodging, jumping, it's a blast. This is basically an MMO that non-MMO fans can enjoy, myself included.

It sounds like an interesting idea, I'll give it that. As long as it's better than Superman 64, I'll say it's worth trying.

[Geneaux486]

Not the best criteria, as most things are better than Superman 64. But yeah, they also did a fantastic job of immersing the player into the DC world.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Your mother is better than Superman 64.

[Geneaux486]

HEY! Wait.... HEY! Wait... HEY! Wait...

[Alyxx Thorne]

HEY! Wait.... HEY! Wait... HEY! Wait...

Loop created. Mission accomplished.

[Axeldeath]

Total mindfuck Alyxx : l

[Alyxx Thorne]

Beer is better than Superman 64.

[BTGBullseye]

Hitting yourself in the head with a hammer as hard as you can is better than Superman 64... For us to watch that is...

 

Wouldn't recommend it though, can cause some weird sensations that are hard to get rid of.

Ancient bump from the depths of forum hell. Anyway, this game recently went free to play and a few friends of mine have been diving into it. I haven't played it, and honestly beyond Batman I'm not much of a DC fan, but it seems like it would be fun from what I've heard. I might give it a go.

It says free to play on PSN, do you have to pay monthly?

[Arby]

Yes, it costs exactly 0 Arbybucks per month. A rather steep hike from the old prices when they were in Monopoly Money.

It's free to play, but you'll have to pay for the software if you want a disc copy. Downloading the thing is a pain, on a 10 mb/s connection, it took me nearly 6 hours just to download the game to play it.

Did the tutorial mission. Was funny when me and all my friends kept freezing before we could even do anything. Uninstalled.
