DC Universe Online sets pricing and new launch date

Needs more attention on the PS3, IMO. Although there was a patch yesterday or the day prior, which hopefully addresses some issues there. It's fun game, but moreso on the console then it would be on the PC, I think, seeing as how action-oriented it is.

I wonder what SOE considered as a issue by releasing in end of February.
People claim its bugged still. And SOE is identified as the company that releases prematurely.
I admit - I pre-ordered and didn't get a beta invite. But I can wait for Jan 11th. The only thing is that if the game is not polished SEO is NOT getting a 2nd chance - and I will move along to the next thing. Most will do the same.
Can they afford it? ... especially when most also consider their content ATM to be lacking (e.g. power set variety).

Ouch, not good news at all. =(

Can you tell us the costs for countries other than the US?

I have been having a great time Beta testing this game. I would have to say I'm pretty impressed, this to me is the best SOE game I've played since EQ.

It plays well for an Action MMO on the PS3, I think the lack of memory is the biggest hit for the console version of this game, but does quite well for it's limitations.

This game owns in the Superhero MMO genre.

With more and more ppl playing the Beta, hopefully more positive feedback can help the developers polish and tweak the game more. I would if I was the Pub/Developer would push this game back even more to early Spring 2011.

I have a feeling that more ppl will purchase the console version over the PC version, but if they ever get a hold of the PC version and give it a play, I"m pretty sure there's going to be a lot of unhappy players, because the quality/performance is on a whole other level.

I'm lucky enough to be playing both PC and PS3 versions of the game, so of course, I know what version I'm picking. It's still great to see PS3 getting some MMO action.

I always find that promo funny, has the three hero mentors but only two of the villains and catwoman, granted she is more recognised than Circe...just always comes off as funny to me.

If it was free, I woulda messed with it. Based on the beta there's no way it's worth 15 bucks a month.

Still needs a lot more work IMO. A lot of power sets are missing and not likely to be added till well after launch; things like an Electricity set, Light manipulation and so forth. Many of the existing powers don't seem to fit well either; the logic behind giving a fire-melee focused character ranged fireball attacks is a bit odd of course. A lot of the powers are like that though, they give a flavor to your base attacks and then everyone gets the exact same power progression, with certain mandatory steps.

Creating a character themed after an iconic DC hero or villain can be quite hard thus. Want to make a Flash-based Speedster? Hope you like throwing fireballs as your enemies!

The movement modes themselves are great, as is the base gameplay mechanics. Not fond of the combo system much, but really unhappy with how the power system ended up getting implemented. Not very fun.

If you have doubts about DCUO, wait till a friend tries it or there is a demo or something before you buy.
