After watching those TotalBiscuit videos I think I am sold. I hope there is enough content when endgame is reached, but then again I would probably run through the game multiple times with different good/evil characters and mentors.
Edit:
Bought

I cant wait for this game! It's going to be my first mmo experience. And im not really into super hero stuff, but it has a little bit different from just the regular mage, warrior, and rouge stuff. But what really sold me on the game is the combat, voice acting, and how you can make your loot functional and stylish.
Got everything downloaded and patched. Can't wait for Tuesday!
BTW I'll be making a Google spreadsheet for you guys to enter your info once the game launches. I'm just compiling a list of which GAFers are playing and on what platform so that others who may be on the fence about which version to get can decide.

Game is mainly about the endgame content and you can level to 30 rather quickly. IIRC one of the features is the ability to play through the games leveling content again once you are max level, but everything is also max level. (Kinda like a NG+ of sorts).
I played Metropolis in the beta and I have to say seeing videos of Gotham it looks WAY more interesting, aesthetically at least.ferr said:
Hoping US PS3 peeps will provide plenty of impressions over the next few days. I have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth from the beta treatment of the EU PS3 client and I'm wavering on picking this up currently.
You get your first month included with the disc, after that time is up you'll have to pay if you want to keep playing it.Aske said:
I'm still debating.. PC or PS3?
with the ps3 i get the comfort of being on my pc surfing etc while i game on my ps3.
with the pc, well I just feel that the mmorpg community would obviously be larger on the pc since there is no cross platform servers. (sigh) (I have a feeling that if the game fails in the long run its going to be due to the servers not being merged, the ps3 community needs to play with the pc community)
what's the gaf pc to ps3 ratio when it comes to dc universe?
my steam and psn tags are both LordRaoh if anyone wants to add me.
any reviews yet?

Apparently the PC version lets you choose.demonkaze said:

I'm not sure if you'll be able to switch back and forth once you log into one or if you'll need two accounts/subscriptions to play both. FWIW, supposedly other PC SOE games have let you switch on demand using one account.
PS3 version will probably be region locked because of SCEA/SCEE certification.
There's a PvP flag you can turn on and off on the PvE servers and there's full on PvP only servers.darkwing said:
Within the servers there's also designated combat battle zones where events take place. For example, in the beta there was a Green Lantern event near Lexcorp where you had to help the Lanterns defeat villains working with Sinestro or vice versa if you were a villain. The faction that killed the most enemies would win the event and then it would reset. If you were playing in the PvE server I think you had to turn on the flag after every death.
There's also PvP instances in both servers with stuff like king of the hill. You can either play as yourself versus other custom heroes/villains or you can play in an Iconic PvP which transforms your character into an iconic hero/villain (Batman [preorder only supposedly], Joker, Harley, Robin, etc....).

There seemed a definate slant towards Hero on both PS3 servers with Server 1 being closer to parity. If you look at the poll on the official site over half the respondents intend on having either Supes or Batman as their first mentor while only 1 in 5 will pick Joker. Lex, Circe and Wonder Woman are way down the list at about 6-8% for each
Won't be able to get the game at release, unfortunately, but I'll be on the PS3 side.
During the beta, I had Wonder Woman as my first mentor before making new characters with Bats and Supes, and I gotta say, after spending so much time fighting the forces of hell and dark magic that beating up gorillas and street thugs just isn't as appealing. lol

If you weren't planning on playing in the EU servers, go for it. If you planned to switch back and forth, I would wait until someone confirms it's possible with one subscription.demonkaze said:
Make sure you use the wootdc code if you order off D2D, its still good for a couple more hours.
Her VA was fantastic, she completely blew me away in the beta. I'm gonna have one of each, but my main villain will definitely have Circe as her mentor.jogarrr said:
Confirmation that the PS3 version will be region locked.
No idea. Try asking over at DCUO Source.demonkaze said:

Don't know if this is true or not but it should give some hope for those interested.
I think you would purchase the game and enter your product key normally. I can't remember what FFXI needed the address for but here it would just be your CC info/Billing Address for the subscription. In that case I would think your billing address would have to be accurate. The 'buy subscription' pages for both EQ2 and Free Realms let you choose your country when entering CC info so I'd guess that DCUO will too.

All right, I'm in for the PS3 version!

Nice to see so many people supporting the PS3 version. I'm hoping it succeeds. On a side note, I went to Gamestop yesterday and they already had the game sitting on the counters behind the registers. I'm kinda bummed that I didn't go for the collector's edition because the Batman figure looked pretty sweet.
We need to make sure that everyone ends up on the same server for whatever faction and region they're in. If the first people to get the game for each region create a character and post where they are we can make sure everyone's together.
To me it sounds as though you'll be able to use the SCEA servers if you use a US PSN account?demonkaze said:
Hopefully for release they won't name the servers 1/2 etc. They should name them, so that they can change the 'default' server (one that's automatically selected when you login) depending on population. It'll help balance the population.FredFish said:
Wait this is out this week? I played the beta on PS3 and enjoyed the basics of the game, but technically the game was still broken. I can't believe they are already releasing it. I really don't believe they polished it up all that. From the beta this seemed to be a games that needed at least 6 more months in the oven.
I don't think you'll be able to fool the system by using a foreign account. They can detect which version you're launching and lock you to the proper server. Plus, I think the game comes with a PSN key you have to redeem to play just like the beta. EU keys wont work with US accounts and if you use a EU account to redeem and then switch accounts it'll tell you your key is invalid and ask for a new one.No45 said:
My guess is QA certification is holding them back from allowing you to select which server to play on. How can they allow EU players to play on US servers if the US is a patch ahead of them like in the beta?
I was saying the same thing early last month, but I've completely changed my mind on the topic thanks to all the patches. My biggest concerns were the tiny UI (mostly fixed), the crummy font colors (fixed), and the awful stability (greatly improved). I'm sure the game will have its share of issues on launch day, but I'm willing to stick around for the free month and subscribe if I see an effort on their side to fix the bugs at the same speed they patched the beta.Xater said:

Indeed. Would help raise the awareness of the game so we can build a community.

Picking up the ps3 version tomorrow cant wait!
Yeah, people are sleeping on Wonder Woman as a mentor (no surprise). Her missions were easily the most fun on the beta. Circe was the one mentor I never got around to trying on the beta but I imagine she's just as fun.ReiGun said:
Lex was probably my least favorite.
