DC Universe Online

[Kicksome]

Anyone play this? It's $50 on steam and just came out a few days ago. It seemed to get decent reviews so far, but there aren't many reviews out yet. Seems pretty cool, but there are already quite a few superhero games out there.

I downloaded it last night and will be giving it a shot this weekend.

I'm not really into the whole DC universe like some, but I don't hate it, so hopefully I won't have a fanboy review here in a few days.
However I must admit I was kind of drawn into the universe after playing Batman Arkham Asylum for the first time last week and couldn't stop playing it until I finished it!

DC universe looks pretty good, and admittedly, the lengthy trailer was sweeeeet, but the $20 a month ($AUS) is a bit hefty so I will have to be pretty drawn in for me to stick with it.

I played a few days of the open beta and it was fun as a diversion but it didn't seem deep enough for me to enjoy long term.

I have been playing it and I am just blown away. Blown away by the combat, graphics, voice acting, etc...

Haven't had this much fun with a new MMORPG in quite a while. It is just so different from the normal 1231233 in WOW. The combat feels very viceral and satisfying. PVP is off the hook.

Will be playing this game for some time to come.

I don't have time to write a lengthy review yet, but jinkobi pretty much sums it up.

It has both ups and downs, but for a brand new game, it's #@$ing fun

I just bought it today and 2 hrs after starting the install process, I still can't play. Some things to keep in mind if you buy it (PC version):

1. The activation code is printed with an OLD dot matrix printer. It seems prone to errors. My code had two errors in it. don't be surprised if your code is invalid.
2. SOE tech/account support for PC has no phone-in support on the weekends, or at night (pacific).
3. Live chat support is available, but even though you are number 10 in the queue it will take an hour for a person to help you.
4. You will need to download about 3 gigs of extra data after your code is verified.

I had high expectations for this game, but the install process has been so ridiculous, the game really needs to blow me away if they want my sub after the first month.

More impressions to come once I get in....

Bought mine off Steam and things went smooth as silk- but I had pre-ordered/pre-loaded. Not sure what's up with your code and things. I haven't encountered any errors, crashes, or even lag. Why they'd have such a shitty printer is beyond me, lol.

I watched TotalBiscuit's vids and it looks like a promising and somewhat different MMO than WoW. I may jump in at some point.

Looks like the leveling process is fun, but I wonder about the post 30 play - how dungeons and raids will be at max level.

Anyway, for those of us who may jump in, any suggestions as to which server most of you are playing on?

I bought this yesterday and am leveling hero's on Brave New World. Very refreshing game play; very entertaining!
