DC Universe Online has now gone free-to-play
After a short delay, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that their superhero MMO, DC Universe Online, has made the transition to a free-to-play model. I played this for about a week after it was released and, like all MMOs, seemed to just run out of time to dedicate to it. It was pretty fun while it lasted, actually, flying through the air in a crimson suit with a tommy gun. I know Fraser Brown has been itching to get back into DC Universe Online to see how the free-to-play shift might help the game along. Anybody else going to give it a shot now that there's no entry fee? Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Downloaded, installed, updated 14 gig and played it for 10 min or so before it crashed over and over as soon as you finish the starting area........ i dont like it. Downloading the PC version as I write this and have been for a few hours now. It's 14.1 gb file but its moving remarkably fast for my shit AT&T DSL. Already almost 4gb in -might take a few days to download (I won't leave it running forever) but I'll get there eventually) Downloaded the ps3 version this morning and made a superheroine. Seems the game runs just fine on PS3.
Getting a name to not get rejected was the hardest part. Downloaded last night, played for a few hours today. Not sure how long I'll stick with it but so far it's been pretty fun. Sold my copy on ebay months ago. Didn't know it couldn't be transferre, but some guy still bid up to $25 on it... offered him his money back, but he said 4get it. Might DL it before I go back on shift @ the firestation and give it another go. I'll wait for them to optimize it. No way am I installing 14 gigs just to play with the travel powers. (Only thing I really found fun in that game.) I've been playing this since launch on the ps3. It's been fun watching the game grow but the psn outage killed the community. I'm excited to start on my 6th character and see the influx of new players. This will also give me extra opportunity and incentive to play more of the excellent end game content on my maxed tions. I'm there. Did the PS3 version. Some connection issues right in the beginning, but overall seems pretty fun and the price is right. I played the Beta of this on PS3, and honestly I thought it was pretty clunky. Then again, it was a Beta, so I'm sure they've streamlined the game since then. I just don't have enough free time for MMORPGs anymore, however. 2:00 AM on 05.22.2013 Yakko Warner is Bravoman in new Namco cartoonThe cartoon adaptation of ShiftyLook's Bravoman: Super-Unequaled Hero of Excellence went live on May 20, exactly 25 years to the day since the launch of the obscure TurboGrafx-16 game Bravoman upon which it was based.
