Lock in a cheap DC Universe Online subscription starting Feb. 8

Should be $10 a month in the first place! But cool...

Sadly, I'll probably pass. I haven't really seen anything that's convinced me that this is anything more than one huge fanservice, and the majority of reviews I've read seem to paint this as a very mediocre mmorpg.

Oh oh...this isn't normally a good sign of things...you have the lifetime rate, and the 6 month rate to incentive consumers...

Not quite the stunning launch they were expecting?

So it's champions online but worse? That's all I've heard about it.

I just got into Eve and man is it fantastic. Only 8 years late to the party. I was serving time.

Good luck DC...especially with Champions going F2P.

This is my first MMO, so I dunno how the vets see it, but I'm finding it extremely fun.

I'm also finding it frustrating at times because there's so little documentation. But eh. I'm still enjoying the hell out of it.

30 bucks for 3 months! Im in there like
swimwear!!

Sorry aquaman:(

Oh, I should also add that I'm playing it on PC.

PS3 might be a very different animal, I dunno.

I have it on PS3 and I'm really enjoying it! I was just about to get some more time so I'm glad this deal is here! And the reviews I've seen have been positive for the most part. But I'm coming into this as an action/adventure game fan not an mmo fan, so I guess I might have a different outlook if I were looking for a Warcraft type experience. I don't know, but I'm loving it myself!

I'm having a blast playing it on pc. I'll jump on the 3 month deal for sure.

I was enjoying this game alright until i started playing the Rift beta event today...im already ready to jump ship.

The problem with MMO's on consoles is that the market of video games of today is damn savage, you have like 4 great games per month, so the most of the players are looking for ending one game and jump into other one, just a few games offers a long time experience. Also the file system on consoles is mostly locked, don't allowing mods and customization, if the game doesn't have a proper and well done customization tool you are just stuck with what you got, that's why MMO's are better on PC, with the modding community and customizations you feel like you have some incentive to play the game again and pay a monthly fee.

Was it that obvious that it was too expensive? Honestly, I think a better model would be to have PS Plus as the only way to play MMOs on PSN and then a $5-7 fee/mo to the game provider.
Makes more people take the plunge into PS Plus (note that I havent yet either) and is a reasonable monthly fee for a game.

I played WoW for about 5 years, then once i heard about Cata i quit.. then was looking forward to FF14, was pumped and knew it would be rough as every other MMO has ever been.. then my buddy got the collectors a week early, i just straight up laughed and am happy i didnt waste $80..

DCUO sold me on the beta, the combat is fun.. especially duel pistols and rifles (both require really awesome combos, that reward good amounts of power and excel in PVP to keep distance i find).. even at the lv20 limit..

as for the level 30 cap, i hear constant complaints about a wall.. you can constantly improve your character by achiecement hunting (they reward skill points, which is the best use of them i have ever seen..).. as well as the thousands of collectables are great for those of us with OCD >_> ... and a major patch incoming mid-feb which i wasnt expecting till late march..

sure youll run into a problem here and there, a freeze a day maybe.. lose sound for a Duo or alert.. a style not collecting right away.. but as far as MMO's go, these problems arnt anything new for those of us who play at launch..

Why do people keep playing MMOs?

Still a rip off. What good is being a Plus subscriber is stuff like this isn't freely included...??

That's nice, lemme know when you make it free to okay like any other competitor to WoW has done. Sadly I don't see that happening with SoE.

should have a discount for PS Plus members :-/
