Holy shit. Finished the Steam install and was greeted with a 2.6gig "patch". Wow. Now that's bad. At least once it's done I'll be able to play. I hope.

Awww that sucks, I get about 2 1/2 hours to play on weekdays right after I get home from work. 2.6gb will probably take me 4-5 hours to download.

I'm really debating this as I'm much more familiar with the Marvel Universe but besides that, how is the communication handled in the PS3 version?
There's a chatlog with several channels you can use to communicate. The default channel only sends out your message to nearby faction (hero/villain) members, the shout channel will broadcast your message to everyone within the same area that shares your faction, and the versus channel will broadcast your message to everyone in the overworld including the opposite faction. I think there's also a channel for group chat and for league chat. Channels are triggered by typing a command before your message ("/shout", "/versus", "/group", etc....). You can have multiple tabs open in the in game chat log and you can turn on and off specific channels if you wish.moop2000 said:
USB keyboards can be used for typing or you can use the on screen XMB keyboard.
Voice chat is open mic and is only available when you're in a group.
I wouldn't say it's button mashy, there's quite a few combos in the game and if you want your power regen to kick in you have to keep the combo meter up. The closest thing the combat reminds me of is X-Men Legends. It also feels a little bit like Hulk Ultimate Destruction without all the crazy destruction.animlboogy said:

OK, wow. I got out of my character creation pit and decided to toy around with one. I joined the PvE Redemption server and I'm in the middle of the Scarecrow mission. Really fun and wacky just running into people doing the same mission.
The only thing that's really tripping me up is that communication with other players seems a little daunting (not doing it, but how)-- from messages to "leagues" to trying to play with friends. I'm going to grab a bluetooth headset I think.
Any other GAFers on the Redemption server?

Got to admit I just can't stomach PvP server, trying to do the races would be a bloody nightmare if you have someone who won't leave you alone.

That happend in the beta no clue if its a server issue or a bug. Only certain parts of the citys textures would load and the parts with no textures was a death pit. Im sure it will get fixed.
This game doesnt require a credit card or check card does it? I dont want anything else game related connected to my accounts.

I actually enjoyed the PvP server more but there was a few times in the beta where one high level guy would camp the area I was trying to do a mission and kept killing me. I think once you hit a high enough level where you can take them on or if you have a group it would be a blast.

You can make as many characters on any server you want, im sure the limit was going to be 6 (1 per mentor) but I have seen people mentioning 16, can anyone confirm the limit?
Outtrigger888 said:
I see what you mean, but there will be times when I just want to go and do a mission nice and simple and I know im going to get harassed from random fools :lol
I like having the option I guess rather than always having to be on my guard.

The PvE server has the option to turn a PvP flag on or off. If your on the ps3 version you just hit up on the D pad. Or theres a command you can type into the chat box. I think its /pvp or somthing of that nature.

Purchased and downloaded it last night from D2D. D2D only gave me the installer, which then downloads the full game from a Sony server.
The download was 12.1 GB. Does anyone know if there's much of an update as of today? I won't be able to check it out until later.

I made a hero named Crimson Arrow on Killing Joke.
They have mentioned that one of the possibilities they hope to implement later on is some kind of event where you become a lanter, if only for that event.Helznicht said:The Avatar portion of the player creator look very powerful, but the powers section seems limited (as all MMO supers games have been). I thought this game would be the one where you could have green lantern type powers, but hes not even an option in the templates..........
Additional powers is definitely one of the expansions this game needs to be great. I mean, there's some really basic ones missing from the game.Helznicht said:The Avatar portion of the player creator look very powerful, but the powers section seems limited (as all MMO supers games have been).

Just to let the few people who might be interested:
'Virtue and Vice' seems like it is the Unofficial PvE RP server for PC / NA.
and 'Death and Glory' seems like the unofficial PvP RP server for PC / NA.
I was able to make seven before I stopped so it's definitely more than six.

Well, FFXIV let me down... Now to play this.
I bought the PC version. Does it play well with the 360 controller?
There is a lifetime subscription... Is there an expiration on that or can you purchase it any time? I'd like to try it at least for the month before settling in on a 200 purchase.

I am loving this so far. Evil here and Lex Luthor is my mentor. He sent me to test a mutation chemical on college students. As soon as you attack them, the MetroPD start to come in and shoot. Funny part is that a ton of people are doing this mission and it is sheer chaos. Cars are crashing and flying into each other. Students are running everywhere. People are causing more and more police to fight. It is hilarious.
Is there a key to take a screenshot, print screen seems to take a black image screenshot.

Any PS3 streams? Curious if the slowdown in the menu system was fixed from the beta.
