Re: DC Universe Online (PS3)

My impressions:

I like the game overall, but I am not blown away. The character creation works well and you can create tons of unique characters good and evil.

Its very Marvel Alliance-ish but bigger and better. I created a villian in the mode of the Red Hood (called the Grey Hood..i know whack huh) and a hero with super speed and firepowers. Each one has different task but they are very similar. You do little missions with side missions mixed in, which lead to me entering a location to take on a mini boss.

In my villian arch, I ended up taking on the Teen Titans (Nighwing, Cyborg, Starfire etc). In the end a match with Raven was the last fight. This lead to me be welcomed by the Trodgor family of the Legion of Doom.

My cons for the game would be, is that you can not take on guys online. Also, its not random enough. The game feels very scripted. Maybe Red Dead Redemption has influenced my expectations.

I was stuck in the loading screen, it came up with "Checking Game Assets" with a progress bar slowly moving across the screen, after about 3 hrs I said enough and backed out.

Frostbyte -- what I learned was that is the game DOWNLOADING 15GB worth

Even after "downloading the game" and installing prior to that, apparently you aren't quite done downloading the game, lol. What I did was start it up and let it download overnight. When I checked it this morning it was asking me what game I wanted to go into, but didn't have time to do anything with it so I shut it down. I'm going to hopefully try and check out the actual game this evening after work.

Well hopefully it allows you to resume the download, I'll just download it in chunks if that is the case.

Re: DC Universe Online (PS3)

If I remember correctly it does. My bar had a decent green portion after trying and backing out a couple times last night.

Re: DC Universe Online (PS3)

Folks, that is the install screen and it takes a long time. Now tht more folks have it, there are more folks dl which may slow it more. I left mine on overnight while I slept.

You would think that when you get disconnected they would take to a log-in screen instead of leaving you at a special disconnect screen that forces you to quit the game.SMH.

Re: DC Universe Online (PS3)

I've enjoyed what I played so far, but I will probably get everything out of it during the beta. I've just never been able to get really invested in any MMO.

You know, me either. At $60 plus $15 per month. I don't see myself making that type of commitment.
