Neverwinter revealed in new trailer

Jun 8th 2011 6:06PM (Joystiq)
This is NOT going to0 be an MMO. I recall the only interview Massively did with Jack Emmert about this, and they said it was the last because the title was NOT going to be an MMO.

So, I have higher hopes for it than Champions and another C-Store debacle

ESRB rates Witcher 2 for Xbox 360 [update 2: CD Projekt responds]

May 25th 2011 1:24PM (Joystiq)
Sweet.

I just got Witcher for the PC, in preparation to get Witcher 2 after my PC upgrade....now I'll hold off until the 360 version

Xbox 360 has biggest non-holiday month ever

@Freak mojo

Some must buy 360 exclusive titles:

Halo (Obviously if you are a FPS fan) titles
Forza 2/3 (If you are a fan of racing titles)
Saints Row 1 & 2
Fable 2 & 3
Dead Rising 1 & 2

Obviously there are many other titles (several I would rank way above these) but those were also available on the PS3...so I am not listing them

I own both systems, and generally prefer my 360 over the PS3 (Probably because I have only had a PS3 for less than a year and the 360 since 2007)

Go to town on the Platinum Hits for $19.99 each and you can quickly develop a top notch library.


SOE teases The Penguin's appearance in DCUO Update 2

Mar 10th 2011 3:04AM (Massively)
It does feel around the 52 era...however looking at Tim Drake, as shown in the game makes it seem much earlier than that. He looks to be no more than 15...maybe 16 if you push it.

That would put him somewhere around Graduation Day.

Until you look at Wondergirl...who seems way past that time.

It really makes it almost impossible to put the gamer into a specific time frame from current continuity.

Alter-Ego: Using a controller with DC Universe Online on PC

Feb 5th 2011 5:57PM (Massively)
I prefer the controller to the keyboard and mouse on this game as well.

I specifically think it works better since it was designed around this type of control scheme.

The mouse and keyboard can be used, but they are not the native format. This may upset a lot of the PC crowd who dislike using a game pad on a PC at all...but the reality is that it is just a design decision and that it makes little sense to completely re-design the control scheme for different platforms.

Especially when you consider that they originally wanted both platforms to play on the same servers. I don't think they have completely given up on that happening in the future either.

My USB receiver is my favorite purchase for the PC in ages. I love being able to use my 360 controller on the PC. Since I am also playing on the PS3, it was not a hard adjustment for me to make, and it actually has me using a lot of the keyboard shortcuts and such while I play on the PS3 as well.

Save the world in DCUO's endgame

@Germaximus
I feel the same way (Although I haven't gotten a character to level 30 yet since Beta ended...altitis and just generally helping folks out rather than leveling being the main reason)

I am REALLY looking forward to the, "monthly themed updates" RadarX said was the plan.

The game is going on week 3...so if they are doing their first monthly update I think we should be hearing about it in the next week or 2 at the most.

@evanset6

Sweet. I never noticed this one before either my Sorcerer would LOVE to have that style cape as well.

Something to look forward too, YAY

SOE shows off DC Universe Online newbie video

Jan 28th 2011 2:10PM (Massively)
@Liltawen Amen.
I think the average is closer to 10 minutes.
It could be even faster but sometimes you have to actually wait for spawns to happen, cutscenes to play, and doors to open.
(Look I know there are 5 robonuts outside the door after I take out the first guard...just open the door already and let me at em!)

Two Worlds 2 review: One world of difference

Jan 27th 2011 11:25AM (Joystiq)
I really enjoyed the writing style of this review. I got the game from Gamefly yesterday, but have not spent any time in it yet because of this addiction to something called DCUO...

Anyway, I'm glad I know what to look forward to when I try to put some time in.

I'm still disappointed that they took out the console/debug ability from the 360 and Ps3 versions. I really liked that about the first game.
