New DC Universe Online Screens Released

looks f*cking amazing,but is this game gonna be worth the monthly fee.

i'm still not sure.

that's a good question @deadpool. I was 100% committed to this game until I found out that it's gonna cost me $180 a year. So basically, I have to forgo 3 games for every year I maintain my subscription to this game.

Having said that, I'm still probably going to buy this game because this is the type of game I've been waiting for my whole life!! City of Heroes on a console!

@Mmo416 - I swear to god, like no joke, I had the EXACT same thought process as you. It was like down to a point. XP

SO excited for this game!!! Can you create more than one character per account? Please say that's a yes.

The only reservations I have with this game is Sony Online Entertainment's involvement. I played Star Wars Galaxies for many years until SOE destroyed it twice. I would HIGHLY recommend that anyone thinking about playing a SOE game research SWG's history prior to purchase.

SOE has a bad habit of ignoring the playerbase. They cheaply alter/simplify things to cut costs, then tell the customers that "all the players wanted it." SOE calls them "enhancements" or "upgrades" (lol). I don't know if it is because cognitive dissonance or narcissism. I will never forget John Smedley (now president of SOE) posting a letter on the SWG forums stating how great their modifications were and how ignorant people were that didn't agree - despite a drop of about 90% of the playerbase on most servers.

The models/environment look fantastic and the story sounds interesting. That is DC's contribution. The gameplay is what SOE will be in charge of and it is what we have seen the least. I have high hopes for this game, but SOE left a bitter taste in my mouth.
