DC Universe Online!

Anyone else picking this up/waiting for the reviews to pick it up? I watched some gameplay -- if enough people pick it up for the PS3, I most likely will. Anyone else?

im going to pick it up on tuesday. Been looking forward to this game since i heard about it

Had a great time in Beta, plan on playing PvE and PvP. I purchased the CE for the PC and am getting lifetime sub.

I played the beta for a bit and I enjoyed it. Granted there were some kinks that still needed to be worked out, but overall I thought it was very well done. I would get it if it weren't for the $15 Monthly Fee on top of the $60 retail price :P

I was planning on getting the lifetime sub. until I found out only PC users can get it. :( Oh well, paying monthly isn't too bad, and I'm still super psyched for this game!

I'm still curious how an MMORPG can possibly work with a controller. Wouldn't you need some sort of a keyboard to... communicate with people? I doubt every single PS3 user is willing to use a headset to talk to everyone in the whole game.

That is the one thing I am worried about in the game. I mainly plan on playing with friends and am assuming there will be some party system so you can only talk to your party (hopefully). And I am pretty sure you can use the little keyboard pop up thing playstation uses, but that would be extremely tedious and probably get old fast.

Phantasy Star Online? Final Fantasy 11? On topic: I'd love to get this but I'm not sure how well it's going to work on a controller, and I don't think it's coming out on Mac sadly.

you haven't played FF11, have you. *sigh*... It's nothing like previous FFs- in fact, it plays a lot like other MMOs.

I was in the beta, and I would get it, if not for time constraints, other games in my backlog and the suscription fee.

played the beta :

pros :

- good character customization

- good levelling system

- good equipment system

- interesting mission system : most of the time a story arc (themed missions leading to a boss fight), often some NPCs in the zone giving additional mission, exploration missions will give XP and equipment, exploring can give talent points you can use to buy powers

- some combos with weapons use the element you chose for powers, your powers generally use the dominant color of your costume

- having most NPCs voiced is good for getting into the world and atmosphere

- main story, making Brainiac as enemy of heroes and villains, and spawning lots of new superpowerd beings, is a nice touch

- costume change with different styles you get when getting equipment is awesome (and designs of the weapons too), and you can change colors when you want

cons :

- communication on PS3 is very limited if you don't use a keyboard, using the "virtual keyboard" is clumsy and takes time, preset phrases are no use (hello, victory, going to Metropolis ... using a macro like "I'm Green Hornet, lvl 8 gadgets/firearms hero, looking for team" doesn't seem difficult to do and absolutely necessary to find groups easily)

-limited layout of powers (6) can make getting new powers difficult as you can assign only 6, even if you can have "specialisations" (tank, controller ...) that you can change with up on Dpad, but only outside combat (making it usable in combat would be good)

- being used to MMOs won't help, as gameplay is action oriented, with dodging and parrying in real time ; parrying seems futile when you have 5 opponents, as when you'll hit one the other four will hit you anyway, so you'll parry only during boss fights

- Watchtower map is difficult to grasp (but may come after some time)

I haven't read much about this game and was turned off by the monthly fee but I'm still very interested to see how character creation works. If there are a broad range of character types that are all useful in some way, not just thousands of people making one of a few super strong builds, then it could regain my interest.

any guys on the fence with this game that havent played the beta, theres a hands on hour long vid on here. obvs dont need to watch the full thing but it shows the guy starting out creating char and then his first hours game play this should push people to thje game that are thinking about it. sadly the fee seems to be stopping alot of gamers :( understandably though

I wont get it because of the monthly service fee, otherwise I would.

I enjoyed the game but i thought the PS3 version was so buggy though. It froze my PS3 so many times Im sure they fixed a few bug fixes though. Im also not feeling the price they are asking for to play per month.

I might still get it though i have to see how the game does.

pre-ordered it as soon as I could, loved the Beta, especially after they upgraded the UI, I'll get it tomorrow, can't wait for it, easely the best console MMORPG ever

I would love to get this game. Played the beta and found it decent. However The social scares me to death. How the heck r u gonna communicate with other ppl? There is no way im typing with the virtual keyboard and im sure most ppl don't always want to be on their head sets.

WOW! I must be the only one who didn't like the beta :( I wanted to like it but I found it boring after 6 hours in and never played it again.... I guess because I don't like to grind over and over :p

I envy all you guys playing this game right now. I wish I could be on there too.
Just no time for an MMO right now. Right after christmas too dammit.

Beta was fun, but like other have said, the $ fees are a big deterent and I do not have that much time to invest in this type of game.

I was in the beta since it was available on PS3 and I have to admit, it's a very good game for anyone who enjoys DC.

I have spent a lot of time perfecting different characters in character creation menu alone. At around level 8-9 you do have to group up, solo play from that point on is not recommended, after all it's a MMO.

In this time and age, every MMO is trying to copy or overthrow World of Warcraft, it's great to see DC Universe be its own game and follow its own gameplay design. I'm not much into MMO's anymore but from my experience in 18+ years, I truthfully enjoyed DC Universe beta.

If I had time to actually devote myself to full time MMO, it would be a good choice.
