Would anyone be willing to write a review for DC:U Online? I'm debating whether or not to get it, and I'm sure some other people on these forums will appreciate it. If you are, go ahead and post it in here.

There will be a surprise for you. :P
 
I was thinking about getting it, however I am not to sure on it...
 
Soldier, I'd send a private message to xfactor as I know he's playing this game, and he's really enjoying it. Doesn't require as much dedication to the game as WoW does, to thoroughly enjoy its gameplay, from what I understand.
 
From what I hear, PVP servers are super super popular, and it's like nothing but constant player attacking. Some players have trouble avoiding the groups of villains running around and jumping people.
 
im doing pve right now, and i also heard pvp is kind of broken right now >_<

but yea, it is a really fun game. many traits to choose from, so its like your getting a new hero every time you create one. moving around is also very simple, they took all the elements of riding and flying mounts from WOW and give it to you straight away. so no tedious travel times.

combat wise tho, its fun button mashing, but gets annoying sometimes. once you start getting the feel for it though, its not much of a problem.

a very large open space area and great sandbox where all players can just drop down to help one another when they see them having trouble.

their is also a fairly large set of skills to choose from, but you quickly run out of points to use as i have heard. but i think just using the powers make up for it.

you can level fairly quickly, not very hard to level, but also not as easy.

overall, like gamespot's score which they gave a 7.0, i would go for a 7.6.

hopefully, they will increase the level cap soon and seeing as this is the DC Universe, you can bet your butt that there will be a crap load of DLC's to follow.

i think its a casual to hardcore game. but also a game that everyone should try. maybe not now with the $50 price tag, but a must once it gets cheaper.

im on the 'brave new world' sever, pve under the name FaTtYmIcFaTFaT if anyone wants to join up :D
 
Is this per-month subscription or pay once and micro-transactions? I'm guessing the latter because of its existence on consoles. ALSO! Is it cross console?
 
Ive wanted to get this game so bad played alot of beta and loved it waiting to get some cash before i get it

$14.95 per month.

PC and PS3 players are on separate servers.


The game is a lot of fun. They need to work out some PVP bugs though before it can really take off imo. Unless of course your thing is PVE then have at it.
 
I tried the ps3 beta and got really bored really fast... then again, Im sure things have changed since then.
 
Even though it has a monthly payment, there is an unlimited option for $200? (not sure on exact price).
It looks like fun, but I can't afford it.


TotalBiscut did a review/play-through, here's a couple of his videos:

I would love to post a video on a pvp fight I had on the moon, a short video, but I can't figure out how to convert uncompressed fraps into a compressed version that has a pretty good quality to it. I tried using virtualdub, but it's not picking up the correct codecs in order to encode it, and I tried the divx encoder, in which it just crapped out. Handbrake doesn't do it right either.

Does anyone have a good method of converting the video from uncompressed into compressed?

I've been having lots of fun with DCUO, and I still have time to play other games as well. 3 level 30 characters.

Dual Pistol / Gadget / Acrobat (control)
Martial Arts / Nature / Acrobat (healing)
2 Handed Weapon / Fire / Flight (tank)

Feel free to ask any questions you want to about the game. I'm playing on a PvP server called Public Enemies. I also have 1 character (level 30) on Death and Glory.
