DC Universe Online

Has anyone played this yet? This video is the only reason I want it.

From what I know is that you can have Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman as a mentor if you are a superhero I haven't really put much research into villians though.

Is there a monthly fee?

Yep fee is $15. Playing it now on Death and Glory, its fun but a little repetitive. I dislike MMOs though, only playing because someone bought it for me I think it will get more interesting for me at max level when I get more into PVP.

Aside from the fact that we already have a thread for this, it is fun but pvp is a little broken with all the cc/stun/control/fall effects but everyone has them so i guess it equals out in the end. Only problem is weapons arent really fair imo, ranged have a huge and unfair advantage over melee weapons.

Unfortunately random bugs appear like being unable to go into instances and group bugs, or league chat broken, or whatever. My largest problem is you have to do feats (achievements) to get skill points to make your abilities do more damage or have more weapon combos. The issue is if you ever want to make another char, you have to do it all over again and that is repetitive as fuck.

I tried it in Beta but gave up on it fast. After playing Champions for a while, DC just didn't have the character customization or engaging enough combat to make it worth my while. I'm really surprised at how well it's selling... but then, it's a game that appeals to a very large, very die-hard group of fans, if only because of the source material.

After they fixed the flight damage bug, every weapon is pretty balanced IMO. Fighting ranged is more of a matter of knowing how to counter. Effective use of lunge (hold left click) is a pretty much a must for PvP.

The game has solid gameplay mechanics and a good player base backing it. If SOE does a good job with updates in the coming weeks, I think it'll be quite successful.

I've seen people play this game, looks boring as fuck and broken. The animations and graphics are horrible.

Gamespot has a perculiar review where they say the game is fun, but "you won't find any enjoyment beyond the free month".

It has solid mechanics, but if youve never played against a bow/dual pistol/rifle/hand blasters as a melee class, you are missing a serious perspective. Lunging only works if they are sitting still but in pvp, you should never be caught sitting still, hell any decent player can just sidestep a lunge and never get hit. As a melee dps class, its very frustrating to go against a villian with a bow or hand blasters who knows how to play because theres nothing you can do about it.
