Ah, should have said hero. Thanks though!

I hate the chat system for the PC version. The voice chat is shit and typing is a choir. I hope they revamp it.
Definitely. Everything about every aspect of the communication system should be completely thrown out and rebuilt from scratch. The PSO/PSU system was light years ahead of this.

I'm not in a group right now. But krypt0nian and I were in a league last night called The Sisterhood (an homage to his tag here). Don't know if that still holds-- like I've been saying, the entire communication system seems unnecessarily clunky, complicated, counterintuitive, muddled and broken :p

I'm in the middle of the Bane mission btw. Not sure how close I am to actually fighting him...

So there are two areas so play in, Gotham city and Metropolis?

Which is the better of the two? I am guessing Gotham?

How do i use chat in the PS3 version? Can't figure it out for the life of me
Make sure your mic is on before you boot up the game. For text, just hit select on the DS3 or hit the enter key on your keyboard to bring up the chat

I've messed around with it for a couple of days and got Mr Fister up to level 6 or 7.

Its not really hooking me. I guess I haven't quite figured out the entire interface yet (PS3 version).

There's also one issue that I have and its almost game-breaking for me. I'm playing on a 50" Sammy Plasma 1080p. I sit about 10-12 feet from the screen and I'm having a very hard time seeing various text on the UI. I've went into options and enlarged it as much as possible, but there are some things on the UI that will not enlarge. I find myself constantly having to squint or stop and really focus on something to read it clearly. I don't think I'm having an eye problem. I do wear glasses and I'm due for an eye exam, but I've not had problems reading anything else.

Is it possible to play this game with a wireless 360 or Ps3 controller?

Yes to both, although you will need the motionjoy driver and a bluetooth receiver for the PS3 controller.

And just as an aside, Supergirl and Powergirl are SMOKING. Plus if you move the camera juuuuussst so ... =)

So true..but if you go to the tower and find the giant gold statue's of Batman, Superman and WOnder Woman and if you have a character that can scale and climb walls, it was pretty fun scalling wonder woman froim her toes to her giant golden tata's. I placed my character right in-between them. To bad I was playing on PS3 or I would of took a picture of it!

The game is alot of of fun, much more than i would have thought. I liked it so much, decided to get the PC version as well since my RIG is really good where I can run it on max. Going to give the PS3 version to my nephew that is wanting to play it as well.
 
Some more screens for the hell of it:

A USB keyboard works for this on PS3 or I need the chatpad?

Not sure but the BT keys work fine. My apple wireless is a joy.

EDIT:

Quick head's up. before you make a final decision after playing a character, roll a few more and see if they fit your play-style better.

I've loved my Ice/Bow chara, but today I rolled Dual-Wield sorcerer and the first summon (although I love the looks of it) is close to being broken it's so useless. If this had been my fist experience, I would have had an entirely different opinion of the game as it stands.
 
I'm so surprised at how awesome this turned out to be. Console MMOs. My jaded mind didn't think it would work and I played for 5 hours today. I haven't played like that in a long time! Kudos SOE

I really wish there was a method to take pictures on the PS3. My hero looks like a bad ass and yet I can't show anyone. :(

Well actually picked it up today while at the store. Figured I could wait for Two Worlds 2 and Conduit 2 to drop in price. Those were the only two games I was going to get as I'm waiting for more Nintendo games and the 3DS. Picked up the PC version and I'm installing now. Will post my character when I create him. Most likely going to go with a Meta hero.

I wish I would have downloaded the beta when I got invited, but it was such a huge file size...

I hope they put up some sort of free trial soon.

I still can't believe they took it out. Did they ever give a reason for it?

Wow. A login queue. Guess everyone waits til the weekend to buy! Good to see the game has people playing it!

The same reason most online games opt out of cross-platfrom play:
"We want DC Universe Online to be an experience that's fun, rewarding and balanced for both console and PC gamers, so we've decided to keep the platforms separate." (from the FAQ)

Though, the controller is really good in this game so I don't see why they couldn't have at least had a few cross-platform servers or something.

I think they removed cross platform because of the differences between the Station account and PSN, something didn't mesh (can't remember where I read that) but they used to have it running internally.
 
Damn, I forgot how games like this are an endless download sink.

I'm currently downloading the third update today. My datacap is weeping. :'(

Free trial?
They haven't announced any plans for a demo. All collectors editions include a 10 day PC trial key (access only, client download not included afaik).
 
The not being able to use your movement power temporarily after attacking or being attacked is extremely annoying. PvP would be a lot more fun if there were high speed chases around the city while launching powers around.

The normal PC version (retail) comes with the 10day buddy pass as well.

Quick question:

Can I login to the PS3 version using my PC account ? Guess not ?

That means I'd need to pay two monthly fees if I want to play both versions ?

PS3 version uses PSN while PC uses Station, nothing links the account together. You'll need to pay for 2 subscriptions if you want to play both versions.
