We are quickly approaching DC Universe Online's release date, and luckily Mike B was able to get into the beta to get the full report! What's that? It's not a full report? What happ...uh oh..
The teleporting mobs bug featured in this episode of the BFF Report has been fixed. Check out This Week in MMO episode 31 for all the details. Fony will be covering DC Universe Online again in a future episode of the BFF Report.
Rift & DCUO look like 1 month of entertainment games. Tera I would say 6 months of entertainment. Despite being a Fantasy MMO fan, SWTOR was the #1 MMO I was looking forward to due to entire voice overs, bioware, starwars, space combat, and rumors of it has as much funding as $100 million.
However, I caught wind of another MMO which is supposed to have large aspects of the game taken from Ultima Online. If you can, Fony, I'd like you to look into ARcheAge or tell ZAM to! I've been to multiple MMO's and they don't even have it under the Game List and I would really like to know more about it.
Aww man that sucks Fony... hopefully you can get it working soon.
The game is awesome though. TBH I had very low expectation comming into beta. After the epic fail that was APB I couldn't get myself to want to try a MMO again ontill my friend offered me a beta key for DCUO. I played it for a few weeks and enjoyed every minute of it.
PvP is pretty balanced for the most part compared to all the MMOs I'v played in the past, gameplay is fast and fluid and requires real skill, having voice acting throughout the game is great (aside from all the cheezy VOs from the random NPCs), and plenty of missions to do so the content is there.
The only downside though is the social aspect of the game. Its very hard to find teams for standard missions with the lack of a real "search for group" window, and the chat system is very clunky and awkward to use. Atleast most of the content is soloable but sometimes I get bored of soloing so I hope they do something about this soon.
Anyway the game is good. I'm going straight for the lifetime sub when DCUO launches... please don't fail like APB...
