Anyone trying/played DC Universe Online yet? I bought it off of Steam yesterday, release day... I dunno how I feel about it yet. One major, major negative for me is playing it on the PC. They made it for PC and PS3, and it clearly plays and feels console like. The controls suck for an MMO using mouse and keyboard. Supposedly most people play with a gamepad, which I'll try eventually.
The other negative is it's rather confusing at first. I'm a hardcore MMO player going back over a decade, all fantasy games. Never tried CoH. The combat is very different, and it feels like, me being only level 6 right now, that it's just button smashing with no strategy involved. I'm sure that changes. It's also confusing as all hell. They give very little info on skills, and at character select alone there are a million different options. Then you level and get new options each time. I say those negatives, but it is a fun game, or else I wouldn't still be playing. I'm not sure it's a game I'm going to play for years, or even months, like most MMOs I enjoy, but it's been a fun way to kill a few hours the past couple days. I definitely recommend giving it a shot if you're a gamer or enjoy the DC universe.
