DC Universe Online PS3 Review
A wasted opportunity to bring a quality MMO to console gamers.
As your character levels up you gain either Skill or Power Points to apply to some your existing talents. But again, not enough information is given to help you determine which powers work best for your particular build. You actually have too much customization to work with, and new players can easily pick something that doesn't compliment their class-type.
Other interface issues, beyond the incredible amounts of lag you run into, include an inability to organize quests in your log, and not letting you know how much XP you'll receive for completing a quest -- bizarre omissions that are, by now, standard in pretty much every other MMO. If I'm only going to get a couple hundred XP for "Quest A" versus a couple thousand for "Quest B," I don't want to waste time on a mission that doesn't have a worthwhile payoff.
A major draw for gamers, outside of the game's license, is DCUO's combat-heavy design; the game is supposed to be more reminiscent of an action game than a hardcore RPG. Unfortunately, this area of the game hasn't been executed well either. Early on, the combat is effective -- simple combos, blocking enemies, etc. -- but in the later stages of the game, executing these powerful combos becomes unnecessarily complicated, a problem exacerbated by the input lag you get as more and more enemies fill the screen. The PC version handles this issue better than its console counterpart, but for an action game, neither version approaches the responsiveness of, say, Bayonetta or God of War 3.
Another issue with combat is that the game's targeting system has a tendency to auto-lock on objects rather than surrounding enemies. Numerous times in the heat of battle, when dispatching a series of goons, I'd transition from fighting enemies to executing a combo on a harmless barrel at the far side of the room...instead of the closest imminent threat. And sometimes, when you enter a dangerous zone too quickly, you're assaulted by invisible enemies who haven't finished graphically loading into the zone.
Outside of the quests, DCUO offers some variety in other play modes; one of which is that you have instances in the form of Legends: PvP combat where you play as an iconic superhero against other players (everyone is the same character level in these modes). The game types are typical, control-point or capture-the-flag scenarios, but the battles against players themselves seems to be more in the vein of "whoever has the most health wins" and "smash the attack button as quickly as you can."

BogusPosted: Feb 11, 2011 12:00AM PST by Hypervega
I think a C- is completely bogus. I've been playing and yeah, although the game has some minor glitches, its still real good. Control is a breeze compared to most MMOs, and creating your hero/villain is extremely deep. Combat is tight, story is good, and the graphics are real cool too. My only gripe is equipment. I hate spending all this time customizing my character to watch my badass split cape get traded for some raunchy Superman rip off cape just because it offers a little more defence. Sure I can go lock it all on, but thats extremely tedious. Oh well, all in all I say a B of a game.
Locking on the Styles TabPosted: Feb 23, 2011 12:00AM PST by daseinmind
When you have your character they way you want him/her to look, you can lock in that look for any item on the Styles tab. That means you can have the look of the split cape and still get the stat benefit of the Superman cape.
Chempions online ore this ?!Posted: Feb 08, 2011 12:00AM PST by Jeronimo
For me its same Champions online. if some one was playing them 2 on PC next to each other i think i cant tell the diference! Sry
You do know this site has a separate PC review for this game, right?Posted: Feb 13, 2011 12:00AM PST by daseinmind
Champions Online is a PC game. Your comment is 100% relevant on that review (there is one). Be fair. Phones have an MMO too, Pocket Legends, and it wouldn't be fair to compare that to PC MMOs. This is a platform that needs MMOs. Be happy for us. Those of us that don't game on a PC have been needing this game to come along. Again, C- is quite harsh. It does have issues. It doesn't deserve an A+...I agree. But it is something fresh. Whether it justifies the monthly fee for the long term is definitely a matter for which time will tell and there is reason to be doubtful but that doesn't detract from the fact that the PS3 needs this and it delivers compared to other offerings on the PS3 which amounts to the fact there are no other offerings. NONE!
its not wow so get over itPosted: Feb 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by lonewolf_x_
stom comparing every mmo with WoW come on, this game doesnt suck but also doest rock, it does what it says, and does that adequate
I'm noticingPosted: Feb 01, 2011 12:00AM PST by pocky-san
that DCUO is really polarizing. I played the Beta, and found it to be a blast. I noticed a lot of issues though, so I decided not to purchase the game at launch. Instead I'm going to wait to see what they add/fix in the game in the next few months, then decide on whether or not it's worth the 50 bucks and 15 bucks extra as monthly fees.
The powers are boring...Posted: Feb 01, 2011 12:00AM PST by Magician_NG
...the cities are empty. Running away from mobs isn't an option. Little quest variety; kill x-number of these, go fetch that, protect this. Voice chat flatout never works, menus are laggy, type chat is slow and cumbersome. Then information on my level thirty, sixty plus hours played character, becomes corrupt.
The grade of C- is more than generous for this lackluster game.
Review is shitePosted: Jan 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Dawnrazor
I don't have time to argue every sentence but let's just say this. Every complaint made in this review holds true for 99% of World of Warcraft content. I play WoW, I think WoW is great. I play DCUO I think DCUO is very good. My score would be 8.5/10 or on this lame site a B+.
Yes the quests are repetitive ( same as with EVERY MMO ), yes there are a lot of glitches and bugs at the moment ( NOWHERE near as bad as World of Warcrafts first 30 days ), yes other games that are super hero games ( CoH,CoV,Champions Online ) have more costume pieces right off the bat, yes it is very easy to level to the max level ( same as in WoW and every mmorpg worth playing, some take months to reach end game, those games are grinds that involve killing 100,000's of critters just to get a level or two later on.
Overall if you watch some youtube videos of the game and think the combat looks good or fun, you will likely enjoy this game. The combat blows away every MMORPG made to this date. The PvP is fast paced and excellent, both Arenas ( your character on a PvP map with heroes vs. villains ) and Legends ( Using a legendary DC character on a team < 2v2 or 4v4 > versus another team filled with legendary DC characters ) are a blast to play. Legends is 100% balanced and Arenas is a little less so but still easily as frantic as a battleground in WoW.
The Alerts are basically instances and range from ho hum to OMFG this is HARD.
If you like DC comics and action games, buy this. If you like DC Comics and MMO's BUY THIS, if you like action games and MMO's buy this. If you hate comic books and hate mmo's. Stop reading these comments and go read a book or play madden with your weird friends.
This is not the best MMORPG ever made. However as someone who has played around 40 MMORPGs, it's not that bad at all. It's more fun then it is great.
KEEP IN MIND : a lot of the launch bugs have ben fixed or are in the process of being fixed. This alone gives me hope.
However unless they have plans to release additional content within the first 90 days of launch, there may not be enough End Game content to last the long haul.
You haven't played WOW in a long timePosted: Jan 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by PaulMC
That is obvious.
"Every complaint made in this review holds true for 99% of World of Warcraft content" Not even close bud.
As for DCUO. MMORPGS are an expensive brand over time, and if I'm going to dish out 60$ to purchase and than pay a monthly, it really needs to be a solid gold game or it's just not worth it to me.
Is 27 days a long time?Posted: Jan 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by Dawnrazor
Played Wow as of 27 days ago. Re-read the review and then be honest with yourself. I'm not saying DCUO is better then WoW. It's Not ( subjective opinion ). However you could just as easily say the same type of things this review said about WoW.
Example :
"If you've played any MMO in the last five years, you'll be familiar with the standard "go over there, kill X number of enemies, repeat" quests. DCUO follows this formula, but does a poor job of providing enough worthwhile context to make these quests feel like you're making a difference in the world, or that the world itself is paying any attention to your actions whatsoever."
99% of the Quests in WoW are the same way. Not every quest has cutscenes, phasing, or some grand ultimate scheme that is laid out upon completion. DCUO in fact does a better job then WoW in this department because most quests in DCUO results in you having a fully voiced commentary from Oracle/Calculator or from an Iconic DC hero/villain where they acknowledge what you have done, thank you for doing it and then explain why what you did was important and what you need to do next to help the City/world/universe.
WoW on the otherhand ends with "ishnu alanadrea" and a block of text that 99% of people skip and just accept the reward.
DCUO quests for the most part are chain quests that lead to a Hideout mission. Most of WoW quests lead you nowhere at all, some lead to instances, very few lead to Raids.
That is but one example of how what I said is true. I'm not saying the quests are better in DCUO, but they do the exact oppesite of what the reviewer said in the review.
Keep in mind that WoW has thousands of quests, like 10,000 + only about 200 of them break the mold from what MMORPG quests are like.
agree with dawnrazorPosted: Feb 01, 2011 12:00AM PST by malminos
This review is quite harsh and seems to be playing it safe. DCUO is better than this article gives it credit for and much of the same stuff is WORSE in WoW, and i've played through all of the new cataclysm content already. Really once dcuo sucks you in it's great.
Can't agree with you.Posted: Feb 08, 2011 12:00AM PST by Uncle_Thursday
I understand the game is still in it's early stages, but I can't agree the game deserves anything above a 7/10.
It's got some good: character creation can be fun, fast paced, decent graphics, lots of voice acting with good voice actors for the main heroes/villians, the "style" option so you can keep a consitent look if you wish, getting quest XP when finishing part of a multi-part quest (kill X collect Y, collect enough Y get XP, even though you still need to kill X).
But is has a lot of bad, too: major sound glitches (all sound disappears, communicator sounds disappearing and the worst, when the sound glitches make the communicator just do the beep beep over and over again until you relog), horrendously slow menus, the inabilty to drop quests so they are constantly in your log, inability to share quests, a horrible camera when in fights, the inability to "tab target" (for lack of a better term on the console) what you want to target, needing to hold a button down on both the PC and PS3 to ock on to a target (with that button being the same as reset camera behind you on the PS3), voice chat is hit or miss with miss being the case more often than not, the horrendous PS3 keyboard popping up on screen EVEN WHEN YOU USE A USB KEYBOARD, no separate chat channels for things like general or LFG which makes everyone /shout the entire time, getting to areas and not having the server catch up allowing you to be killed by enemies you can't even see on the screen.... should I go on?
Well, I will for a bug that I have that my friends don't.... I have to accept the ToU every single time I load the game up. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It's easily the most annoying thing on my particular game.
Sony Online Entertainment has been making MMOs for well over a decade, now. These sorts of design decisions for some things and just the general bugginess of the game, however, makes it appear like SOE has never made an MMO before. In its current incarnation, this game doesn't have any sort of staying power-- AT ALL. I just hit level 30, so I can start to try some of the end game stuff... but I don't foresee me paying after the first month at this point.
So, I'm sorry, but your 8.5 is a really high score for a game that has more bad than good in it at the moment. Maybe in 6 months to a year, after SOE works out a lot of these issues? Perhaps. But, even though it is the fastest selling SOE MMO to date, I don't think they'll be enough people still playing the game to warrant SOE even caring to fix the issues it currently has.
The backlash from this review isn't surprising.Posted: Jan 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Shadow13th
Most low reviews on 1up get bashed by the users and most positive reviews are showered with praise.
But this game has received a lot bashing outside of 1UP. A lot of respectable outlets have a lot of negitive things to say about this game.
Even on metacritic the scores, with the exception of the top 3 (who coincidentally are lesser known dedicated Playstation outlets) are pretty dismal.
So if you're one of the few defending this game it's time to face the truth ... obviously all of these reviewers are wrong and you're one of the few that are right ...
Seriously though. If you have purchased and enjoy a game, who cares if someone reviews it low? How does that affect your enjoyment of the game?
I can answer that...Posted: Jan 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by daseinmind
The opinion of those that comment on a review adds to the context of the review itself. The review is an informed insider's perspective. The comments are a pulse of the people. It has nothing to do with personal enjoyment of the game and everything to do with community. A litany of "Yeah, this game sucks." is indicative of a universally crappy game. A spattering of, "Are you crazy this game rocks!" gives future readers a hint that maybe this game isn't for everyone but there is still the possibility it could be for them. The fact that some people defend this game and nobody bothered to disagree with the review for Stormrise is information.
Good pointPosted: Jan 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Shadow13th
I didn't even think of it that way. Probably because of how I approach reviews, see the thing is review scores no longer influence my purchases. Between youtube, demos, developer pedigree, podcasts, forums, renting and all the other onslaught of media it's much easier to get a much more direct or sometimes even hands on vibe for a game compared to an essay from a reviewer about it.
I'm an older dude and back in the early 80s reviews were ULTRA important cause it was the most comprehensive info about a game you could get without buying it. The game either sat in the store or on your shelf for a hefty price (games are cheaper nowadays) so reviews were a MUST.
I only read reviews about games I am not going to buy, just out of curiosity. All the games I buy these days are pre-ordered. So I've made the purchase decision many times before the game is finished development. Reach, Red Dead, Assassin's Creed. All the games I've bought I knew were going to be worth the money.
And after I buy these games I don't even read the reviews. Cause honestly I couldn't care at that point of other people on the internet who I'll never meet agree or disagree with my own personal enjoyment.
So that's why I wonder why people care about reviews. And your point gave me some good perspective.
Raises handPosted: Jan 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by Dawnrazor
I commented because the review itself is full of untrue statements and even contradicts itself. FIrs tthey say the quests are typical MMO with no context. The next paragraph details exactly how that previous statement is a bold faced lie.
Also I don't want people seeing low scores and assuming that the game must be crap. It's not crap. it's fun and the more folks that buy it and play it the more fun I as an owner of the game will have.
They rated it a C-, my review score would be a B to B+. B+ if they iron out some of the bugs that still exist, keep in mind half the bugs listed in this review are either fixed or so rare I have never come across them.
The same expectations shouldn't apply...Posted: Jan 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by daseinmind
The title of this article is DC Universe Online PS3 Review. Not DC Universe Online PC Review. Not DC Universe Online Review. There is a fairly large audience of people that don't play PC MMOs because they don't play PC games. For me this isn't a disappointing WoW junior, this is fresh. I am personally playing an MMO, on my couch, with my HD TV, in surround sound, with my PS3 controller in my hand, for the very first time. The PS3 version should get instant bonus points for being groundbreaking on the console platform. There is no apples-to-apples comparison that applies. Hitting the level cap with 30-40 hours of gameplay and still having reasons to keep playing is a decent achievement on the PS3 by other standards. I'm getting more fun out of this than Little Big Planet 2. Only time will tell if people will continue to shell out the fee indefinitely but for $60 that first month is all value. I'm not saying this is the AAA must-have title for the year, but it is by no means a C-.
The review compares it to other mmos fyiPosted: Jan 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by MorbidAri
Regardless of where and how you play it the immediate comparisons come to other mmos both on the console (FF 14) and other mmos in the industry (WoW). Playing an mmo on a ps3 might be novel but they didn't review how novel the game is but how good.
I've seen clever players use a controller emulator to play WoW and AoC with. Most PC gamers have a comp they can hook to a TV. Thus I can play WoW and other mmos on a TV with a ps3 or other controller.
That renders your whole argument pointless. Wether you like it or not ALL mmos will be compared to the best in the industry. In that case right now it's WoW. If you don't like the comparison then don't read mmo reviews or don't play mmos.
It's entirely possible the real WoW killer will be years away. It's possible it could be Swtor or Warhammer 40k DMO or even as far away as Titan. Whom ever it will be will be the new standard that all other mmos are judged by. Like it or not thats how mmos work. SOE has a bad track record. Is it really that surprising that they would drop the ball yet again? Hardly....
Still doesn't make it apples-to-applesPosted: Jan 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by daseinmind
Making a PC mimic a console experience is something some (very few?) PC gamers are doing, not console gamers. FFXIV hasn't even released yet on the consoles. Maybe it should be compared to DCUO when it does release, not vice versa. As a console gamer, I know FFXI was there first but I personally never found it appealing enough to try out. If you do want to compare DCUO to FFXI then that seems fair but that is not the comparison I'm seeing people make.
I'm focusing on the fact that DCUO for the PS3 is drawing interest in an MMO to console gamers in a way that feels utterly fresh (DC license, combat-oriented, etc). It seems like everyone is focusing on why DCUO isn't the WoW killer because they want a WoW killer, which seems moot to me, a console gamer, because WoW isn't even on the console. I'm not saying all the criticism isn't valid for the PC version because I think it is valid. My whole argument is that a C- for DCUO on the PS3 seems extra harsh considering it is a lot more fun than most PS3 games that get a better score. And, I think the reason for that is because it is unfairly being reviewed through PC colored glasses. If the review was meant to take a look at the content independent of the platform then, like I alluded to already, why call it the DC Universe Online PS3 Review? How about the DC Universe Online MMO review?
Most modern video cards have an HDMI outputPosted: Jan 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by PaulMC
I have my PC hooked up to my plasma tv and it looks and plays way better than PS3 or 360. Even most low end 3d cards have HDMI or component cables. Just buy a 20$ controller from best buy and you're set to rock.
As far as console MMO-s, that isn't exactly brand new. What about FF11?
Again, welcome to the PS3 review on 1up.comPosted: Feb 01, 2011 12:00AM PST by daseinmind
By the time you've done that, you're going to play DCUO on the PC. For me, I doubt my netbook will handle it. As a choice, rather than gaming on a PC I choose to spend my money on console gaming. I'm not criticizing PC gamers for their choices but I am emphasizing that this is the PS3 review.
Given the console platform is so MMO starved with most publishers afraid to step foot there being especially wary after so many failed PC MMOs, FF11 is Lewis and DCUO is Clark (except in this version of the story Clark is the only one worth playing on this generation of consoles).
I'm never played an MMO but...Posted: Jan 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by steakys
I know this isn't an amazing review but would it be viewed differently if it wasn't a MMO? Reading this made me think of Borderlands quite a bit. I really enjoyed Borderlands despite some of it's similar faults.
Ideally I'd be able to rent it and play online free, but I'm guessing you have to buy the game to get the free 30 days.
YepPosted: Jan 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by T-Stop
I know for myself, I would feel really differently about the game if it wasn't an MMO. I quite enjoyed the first 7 or 8 hours of play. (For some games, that's as much gameplay as you ever get.) But after that, the weaknesses start to show. The quests are repetitive, there's no real exploration, no crafting system, very little social component, no overarching storyline, and only cosmetic differences between playing a hero or villain. Given that it's an MMO with a $15 monthly subscription rate, this is a big problem -- other games in this genre offer a lot more longevity.

It is a good game, I've been playing it non-stop since the beta, despite its issues, my only concern is its lack of content to justify a subscription fee.... Despite that concern I have only been giving DCU my time eventhough I got Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 2, and Two Worlds 2 sitting next to my tv still waiting to be played...

"lack of content to justify a subscription fee".
Me: +$30 in my pocket, which I could put towards purchasing a decent game.
You: -$80 (game + 2-month subscription fee) that you spent on this MMO....an MMO lacking in content. Trust me, you're not laughing at me...you're laughing with me : p

Play it for yourself instead of letting perfect strangers dictate your purchases for you. I thought the game was great, and plenty others agree, including high profile reviews. Don't listen to me or any reviews, even the great ones, play the game yourself and decide.
People will cling to anything to justify purchase : )Posted: Jan 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by JoSsGroSs
Sorry guys plea all you want with the masses. For a brief time I did the same thing with APB but a crap MMO is a crap MMO, now I'm not saying this is APB style bad because that a cluster fUK, but this game is not good, and has no reasons to leave WoW, or the already established super hero MMO's Champions or City of Heroes.
60 bucks is not something I'm tossig at a ify game that may or may not be here. I think that listening tho the majority of Reviews that call this a very mediocre game RIGHT NOW is wise, maybe if the game get's better I'll throw the money and time down but for now most are better of passing on this game.
Reviews are their to help you make a informed decision I don't have to buy a game to know if it's worth my time, just because you bought it doesn't MAKE the game GOOD guys,
for an MMO it's game play, active stong community, and an excellent support with constant improvements, a meaty end game, constant cash flow through investors and then the buying audience.
I predict the console version will be a non-factor by the end of the summer : /
Relax guysPosted: Jan 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Stealth_Mantis
I wasn't going to buy the game and now I'm not because of one C- review. I really had no intention of buying this anyway, it just isn't my style of game. I was just stating disappointment that the first review I've seen if it isn't a good one. It's normal to just react to a review at face value without it meaning it has changed my whole outlook on the game from now until eternity.

I don't doubt the potential this game has, but I'm not yet ready to begin. I would like to hear more about end-game content and expansions before I jump in.
At least I will have Marvel vs. Capcom 3 soon to keep me busy playing with super heros.
Spot on review with one exceptionPosted: Jan 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by theturk
I played the demo and levelled up fairly quickly - because the game was fun, flying is cool and levelling up was easy.
But like the man said, it is tiresome, other players seem ignorant about teamwork.
And the one big problem?
Well it's the problem with DC comics generally. They are not gritty, characters are two dimensional, the game comes across as a series of good - v - evil 'squeaky clean' challenges with no greys in between.
Or to put it simply...
It's not Marvel.

It's a shame that your anger at being bullied and being beat up daily for being a loser can't find a better outlet than trying to slam a guy for doing something you couldn't do if you tried. You bust on a guy for his book when you can barely spell. You write like a guy who failed Ebonics 101. I'd thought there was nothing I hated worse than slobbering nerds who try act tough because the internet gives them something to hide behind. I was right and you're a great example. Get a life, dork.
A good review that I personally disagree withPosted: Jan 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by A._Kent
After reading the review, I can't really argue with it, but I will say it never occurred to me this game could be considered poor. It's an exceptionally well-written review in my opinion; he obviously spent a lot of time with the content and goes into good detail. What else can we ask for? I think the grade is a little low (I'd say a B), but I suppose it all hinges on your expectations. I am coming from the viewpoint of a non-MMO gamer, so the fact that there is a ceiling, and that the content feels more like a sandbox than a carrot is something I can relate to. If you want something long-lasting, like over a year, then I might have to say a C- is even a little high.
No matter what shortcomings it may have, there is a layer of polish to this game: the cities are large and beautiful, the control is tight, the beat-em up action feels like an arcade game, the art direction is terrific, the music and voice acting are pitch perfect for the setting, and the quests flow quickly and with a good payoff. The overall story might not be much, but what licensed game has a great story? That's a poor argument, but maybe I've come to expect it. Mainly, it is an excuse for character story arcs. Scarecrow is being Scarecrow. Capture him. Bane is doing his thing. Better stop him. It's like reading a stack of comics.
The real appeal of this game, for me at least, is the ability to get creative with your hero. To some extent, the classes, weapon types, etc. are just options for the type of persona you want to create - basically, it feels like a giant toy box to me, and the world is your playground. Show off your creations, explore, find secret collectables, beat up some thugs, help out some fellow gamers, attack other fellow gamers, etc. I'm getting simple joy out of it right now, and the fact that I'll reach level thirty in a week or two of casual play is a positive to me. I've had my fun with the character, laughed at my own outrageous concept for him/her, I jumped through the level hurdles at an accelerated speed, and I've got my sense of accomplishment. What kind of hero should I create next?
In the end, it feels like a single player sandbox game that plays online, and for this type of game, the world seems large, polished, and inviting. As an MMO, though? No, not so much. After a week, it's still working for me, and I'm glad I've made the purchase, even if I don't make it to paying a subscription fee. After all, plenty of terrific games can be finished in a month.

MMO's hardly ever have a full year's worth of stuff to do...THey add to it constantly which is what they'll most likely be doing...well, i say most likely because if they don't end up doing it they fail. lol.
This isn't going to be a game that you can beat in a month, at least in the long run...it's a game that will have it's content changed constantly and more additions, gameplay tweaks, etc..
I only mention this because you say you're not an MMO gamer, so i thought i'd let you know about it.
oh man a C minusPosted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by the_last_mandalore
all of a sudden this game has lost it's must have status.....
When will we get great console MMORPG's?Posted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by king_mob
I don't have a gaming PC so I've never gotten into any MMORPG's. But I'm disappointed that the current crop of consoles never got a really great massive RPG. It would have been great to play on the 360 Live service.
I never got my hopes up about how this game would turn out. But I would have played if it had gotten great reviews.
Perhaps Marvel Studios will form a kick ass games division and make an awesome Marvel Universe MMO. If that ever happens, I can't wait to be the most diabolical supervillain ever. I'm going to be as bad as those WOW Players that attacked the funeral of a real life player. I'll be as evil and twisted as the Joker but as lovable as Jamie Lannister. And I will make said virtual world become rife with apocalyptic destruction.
Until that day, however, I will content myself with ordinary activities such as reading, exercise, work and Dead Space 2.
Undead Labs...Posted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by pandasnyper723
Have been working on a Zombie survival MMO for a couple years now. The team consists of people who have worked on other titles like Guild Wars and Warcraft I believe.
And it's being designed with ONLY consoles in mind, so no shoehorning a PC interface onto the 360 and PS3.
we do have a good console MMOPosted: Jan 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by MusHRooMH3aD

Great review...Posted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by vormison
...I appreciate reviews such as this one. Very upfront and honest. I think this is one of the few reviews I have read for this game that actually prepares you for what to expect when you play it not only in the beginning, but more importantly, in the future.
Very disappointingPosted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by Beast9287
You would think with the beta they've had, that they would add a couple things here and there, as well as listening to the player feedback. That's what a beta is all about. I guess nowadays, it's just to be seen as a "Members only demo". I really do hope they add on more content to the game instead of having it very vanilla. I would like to see more (great) MMOs on the Playstation 3, and this is setting a horrible example. Am I asking too much when I say I really want Diablo on the Ps3?
I've only read one page..Posted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by Ashborne
But judging from what I've seen on 1up lately, this review isn't going to get better.
From what I gather, your primary complaint is not feeling like you have any impact on the world.
I think you need education in the point of MMOs. Things move together as a whole. Quests are quests to achieve the goal in the end. Expansions and other content patches push the game forward.
You can't have an MMO that punishes you for not doing a quest. That's a poor thing to ask for, because then it's linear and MMORPG and linear do not go hand in hand.
ResponsePosted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by TheMoronMike
From what I gather, your primary complaint is not feeling like you have any impact on the world.
Correct. It's one of many complaints, but that is indeed one of them.
Quests are quests to achieve the goal in the end. Expansions and other content patches push the game forward.
I agree, but when you play that very same quest design repeatedly and you see no lasting impact from your actions after completing said quests, then we've got a problem. And yes, expansions and content patches will evolve the game, but will it make it better? Will it make it worse? That's something I can't answer because no one has played any of these expansions yet.
You can't have an MMO that punishes you for not doing a quest. That's a poor thing to ask for, because then it's linear and MMORPG and linear do not go hand in hand.
I think you missed my point here. I'm not asking the MMO to punish me, nor am I looking for a linear experience. I'm looking for some sort of lasting impact from my decisions or indecision in the world other than "Good job, you completed this quest. Now here is the same thing, except now it's colored blue instead of red!"
You only read one page...Posted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by PaulMC
You sould read the whole review before making a judgement.
-I appreciate that this game takes a more action oriented approach but in the end it's just a button masher.
-The quest design is poorly implemented and gets easily boring.
-The mission leave no lasting impact on the world. Wow has the whole instanced areas thing locked down, just check out some of the new starting areas.
At the end of the day, DCUO isn't a terrible game. it's just not great. Not only does it not really innovate, it's a step behind newer MMO-s and even older ones like WOW
If the devs don't add some varied content, than people will eventually get bored, it's the way of the world.
Is this the end of reviews?Posted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by Mace_of_Spades
So will we continue to get reviews of how DCUO is developing, or must you move on to other games?
I'm very curious to see how this game evolves.
I loved the beta, but I've been sitting on my shrink wrapped copy of the game. I'm hesitant to open up the game and set-up my account and start my 30-day trial (or worse-the $15/month subscription) while they iron out the bugs/glitches.
Moving OnPosted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by TheMoronMike
I'm already working on other projects and reviews as we speak. To stay updated with how DCUO progresses, I would keep an eye on the game's official site, their forums, and interact with that community. I'll probably check in on the game six months to a year from now.
Ugh... dcuniverseonline.comPosted: Jan 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Mace_of_Spades
I've been to the game's official site, many times, and it pretty much sucks. Its very buggy and they're slow to make updates. I've also found it quite difficult to navigate their forums.
Personally, I would prefer to hear about how the game develops from an outside, unbiased source. If there won't be any reviews for a while, hopefully all DCUO news/updates will continue be covered here at 1UP.
I'd love an updated review when they do make some major changes/additions to the game, but until SOE claims that this has occurred, don't bother checking in on the game, regardless of how much time has passed.
Ugh, incompetencePosted: Feb 02, 2011 12:00AM PST by CausticSushi
First, not knowing how to navigate a forum sounds more like a personal problem than a design flaw
Second, if the next review is as close-minded and biased as this one than dont even bother. Its like the reviewer played the game for 5 minutes and decided to just ask someone what "life after 30" was like instead of playing it. Oh, I guess you forgot to mention the part where difficulty in end-game ranges from easy to borderline impossible sometimes without the right plan or the variety of bosses that end-game entails. Did you even bother to try and understand PvP before you went in, guns blazing, and got your ass kicked? Im sure it was unresponsive controls, mashing buttons does that. I've also never heard of any other PvP where the point isn't to have more health than the other person at the end of the fight. Then you harp on the combat... really? The games most unique feature to an MMO and you compare it to God of War and Bayonetta? That's like comparing Tabula Rasa to Modern Warfare...
Anyone that believes this crap is a robot, programmed by the media and other forum trolls, that cant think for themselves. If its in text format, they believe it. Not only is this article contradicting, it just points fingers. No evidence to support anything, zero examples- it's like they have nothing to go on except what other people who hate the game are saying.
Im calling your bluff 1UP, no one who works for you played the game for more than an hour.
This review was a joke, find someone with more experience before you write again and furthermore, find someone who knows how to write.
What about chatPosted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by c0nv3rg3
You can't make the chat box larger unless you make it FULL SCREEN! You can only see like one or two chat lines at a time!
USB Keyboard or D-PadPosted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by TheMoronMike
While the voice chat feature of the game has had issues, I had no problems communicating with other players by plugging in a USB keyboard into the USB slot on the PS3. The D-Pad also works fine for bringing up hot key commands like "looking for a group."
can'tPosted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by Rise_ofthe_Mike
Much agree with the review...I love the game on PS3. It's pretty slick and an MMO is a type of game that is constantly being added to. A lot of the issues you have will be fixed...more depth will be added. It's only a matter of time. If they dont', that's when the MMO will fail. As of right now though, I fully support the game...there are tons, tons of things to do after you reach lvl 30. And then there's the fact that they'll probably be adding more including a new level cap at some point soon down the road.
The games awesome...I havn't had any input lag but a couple of times on PS3..
anyway, i'm not going to go on a tangent, just wanted to put my two cents out there and say that this is a pretty sweet game.
Maybe I will try out Champions Online nowPosted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by SPARTAN0040
I just got an email it went free to play for regular content, and you can always get an enhanced membership later. Thats just what I initially read.
I hope DC Universe will have some updates to help it out.
Good reviewPosted: Jan 27, 2011 12:00AM PST by semifraki
I just wanted to say that I really appreciated how you split this up between your initial thoughts at the time of release and your review a few weeks later. I saw a lot of scored reviews within days of the release, and honestly, it's too hard to believe that anyone could experience even half of the content in an MMO in that short a period. This way, you managed to get your foot in the "release window" door, but still managed to offer a fair review, when the time was right.
Keep up the good work!

Miami Is One of America's Longest-Living Cities
hether you love or hate this city, you might be around a few more years than average to either enjoy it or endure it. If you're a lady at least. The Daily Beast ranked America's top 20 cities with the greatest life expectancy, and Miami made the cut. But the news isn't so good if you're a man.
Miami came in 18th on the list, which was sort of a surprise to us. However, it seems people tend to live longer in sunnier areas. Explains the Daily Beast:
To identify America's Longest Living Cities, we looked at a decade's worth of lifespan data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, equally weighing the average male and female life expectancies over this 10-year period. While the data do show a few surprises, many of the cities in our top 20 are concentrated on the sunny West Coast, with the highest concentration in California. In fact, East Coasters may want to take note: Only two Northeast cities made our list.
In Miami, ladies have an average life expectancy of 81.3 years. Men can expect to kick the bucket around 75.4 years.
Compare that to San Jose, America's longest-living city, where woman make it to 82.9 years and men croak at 79.2.

Some Disaster Relief Data
Considering giving thanks for good fortune at a time when many are still trying to recover from Hurricane Sandy
When Hurricane Sandy was hitting New York and our region on October 29, I felt it best to stay out of opining about the disaster if there wasn't some story about the storm's direct effect on financial services reference data issues—which there wasn't likely to be, other than the business continuity issues that would come up for the industry as a whole.
With the loss of life, the magnitude of the property damage and overall large scope of the story, it seemed more respectful to stay focused on data's business as usual, when and where that was happening. Now, however, as we enter the fourth week since the storm, there is some return to normalcy. Most but not all businesses around our office in Lower Manhattan have resumed activity, albeit with big loud generators outside their buildings in some cases.
Personally, I was fortunate and had no real disruptions due to the storm. It took a week or so for Incisive Media's offices to reopen, but communications capabilities allow work to be done remotely, so there weren't significant delays to the publication of our monthly print issue. Following Hurricane Sandy, the US holiday of Thanksgiving encourages us here to be especially thankful if we weren't harmed by recent events.
So, as we in the US take a break from day-to-day business, let's consider those who may still be trying to recover. The Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund and Hope For New York are two online destinations for those who want to help. The latter includes links to charities and efforts local to specific boroughs and neighborhoods of New York City.
And for our colleagues overseas, we hope you will join our efforts and lend your support. Golden Copy will return December 3.

I know where you are coming from. When my wife and I first opened up our marriage I only agreed because I felt it was my only choice if I wanted to stay with her because she wanted to sleep with other people and was afraid she would cheat if we weren't in an open relationship. During that time I dealt with a lot of jealousy and resentment because I felt like she didn't love me and was willing to sacrifice me so she could be with other men. But my wife and I talked it over and she addressed some of my concerns and made me feel better. I still feel jealousy sometimes but I have mostly gotten over it.
You really just need to talk things out with him and tell him how you're feeling and find out how he's feeling. If he really loves you he won't force you into something you don't want. Just don't pretend to be okay with it when you really aren't because you just end up being hurt worse. Trust me I've been there.

I have a password with a prescribed format:
111 + "2 Random lowercase letters" + "random digit"
As you can see, it starts with a fixed value of
111, followed by two random lower case letters, and then lastly a random digit. Now, I would like to calculate the password entropy. To do so, I am calculating:
Fixed value
111 $\rightarrow log2(1) = 0\text{ bits}$
Two random lowercase letters $\rightarrow log2(26)\times2 = 9.4\text{ bits}$
One random digit $\rightarrow log2(10) = 3.3\text{ bits}$
This results in a total password entropy of $0 + 9.4 + 3.3 \text{ bits} = 12.7\text{ bits}$
Is this approach to calculate the password entropy correct, or am I missing something somewhere?

Arsene Wenger has made it clear that the Financial Fair Play is now dead in the water and EUFA simply cannot stop the moneybags clubs spending what they like in the transfer market. Witness how much clubs like Man City, Man United and Liverpool have spent lately.
Tag Archives: FFP
New FFP rules will make it HARDER for Arsenal this summer
Can Arsenal even get our targets this Summer? by Galen
Milner closer to Arsenal after rejecting new Man City deal
It would not be the first time that a player took a cut in pay to join Arsenal, with that apparently being the situation when Mikel Arteta joined the Gunners from Everton to get Champions League Football. With James Milner currently earning around £80,000 a week at Man City and being offered a new contract by his club, that may have to be the case again if he is to join Arsenal this summer.
Arsenal to offer £10m for want-away Man City and England star
There is a very interesting Arsenal rumour this morning from the respected English newspaper The Guardian, that states that Arsene Wenger is set to take advantage of James Milner's unhappy status at moneybags Manchester City. The midfielder is unhappy at being forced to play in wide positions for City and is looking for a club that wlll allow him to play in a more central role as he was promised when he signed for the moneybags club.
Arsenal boss wants MASSIVE fines for FFP rule-breaking
Arsene Wenger has always been prudent with Arsenal's finances and supported the idea of Financial Fair Play ever since the idea was first aired, but now it has been implemented Wenger wants gigantic fines imposed to deter clubs from breaking the rules again and again.
Nasri explains to Arsenal fans why Wenger WILL spend big!!
A lot of Arsenal fans are not too keen, to say the least, on the Man City midfielder Samir Nasri and he is well aware of it. I am not going to go too much into the reasons for that now. The France international does still, however, profess to have feelings about his former club, but especially for the boss Arsene Wenger.
Football rich list bad news for Arsenal and Wenger's FFP hopes
I had better be careful what I say here Arsenal fans. The figures released recently in the Deloitte Football Money League report were picked up by lots of newspapers and websites, with many of the English ones concentrating on the fact that Manchester United have slipped out of the top three and been replaced by the treble winning German club Bayern Munich. Not too surprising really.
Forget frustration Arsenal fans- The future IS bright!!
We are all wrong, and we are all right. By Gunner Gyz
The tone of this site, particularly the comment section has been doom and gloom lately. Does this mean Arsenal is in a downward spiral? Maybe yes, but probably not. Let's take a quick look at why you guys are right to be concerned, and why some AKB's are right to tell you to sit down.

Rumor – Guild Wars 2 launches June 28 according to retail flyer
Guild wars 2 could launch on June 28 if a pre-order promotional flyer posted by a Fry's retailer in Texas is any indication. Kotaku, which obtained a shot of the flyer, contacted NCsoft on the matter which responded: "We have not released an official launch date within 2012 as feedback from our closed and open marketing betas will help us determine an exact release date. We will release Guild Wars 2 when it is ready." Earlier this month GameSpot put up a placeholder date of June 26 for the MMO, which is currently still in beta. Neither NCsoft nor ArenNet have announced a concrete date for the anticipated title, but has previously confirmed it will be released sometime this year.

I wanted to ask if this app could make your phone's key lock require a password? I like to keep my cell in my pocket and it gets bumped every once in a while, sometimes it mashes just the right buttons and comes unlocked.
Can KeePass change a phones key lock to require a password to unlock? If not, are there any JME or J2ME apps out there that can do this?

Michael Sam 'determined to be great' buy replica oakleys
fake oakleys He seemed almost eager for the attention and scrutiny.
The first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team was confident and engaged Tuesday as he was formally introduced by the St. Louis Rams, handling questions and scrutiny with aplomb well beyond that of a typical seventh round pick. Gaines, a sixth rounder who'd been asked what the SEC co defensive player of the year was like as a teammate. replica cheap oakleys
Sam, who came out to teammates and coaches before his senior season at Missouri, disagreed that his sexuality had been a secret. buy fake oakleys
cheap oakleys "Apparently, everybody else makes a big deal out of it," Sam said. "But my teammates and my school didn't."
"It's OK to be who you are," he added. "Whether you're gay, straight, black or white, it's OK to be comfortable in your own skin."
replica oakleys After getting the go ahead from owner Stan Kroenke and making the pick Saturday, Fisher called it a "second historic moment" for a franchise that signed running back Kenny Washington in 1946 as the NFL's first black player in the modern era.
Just as in his post draft teleconference with St. Louis media that was sprinkled with salty language, Sam was feisty.
discount oakleys He's had a few months to get accustomed to the role of trailblazer instead of a silent star.
Sure, he's a role model. Right now he'd much rather be the Rams' description of "designated pass rusher." discount fake oakleys
cheap oakleys sunglasses "I will always support equality, period," Sam said. "But my job is to focus on football and help this team win a championship."
buy oakley sunglasses outlet The appearance of perhaps the most famous seventh round pick in NFL history attracted a massive amount of people.
A half dozen TV trucks lined a crammed parking lot at Rams Park, an hour before the team's two first round picks were due at the podium.
fake oakleys About 80 media members attended the news conferences.
buy fake oakleys Three days earlier when the Rams chose Sam with the No. 249 overall pick, the media contingent was in single digits.
"There's some energy here," general manager Les Snead said with a smile between rounds of interviews. "But I don't think this is a circus. This deserves attention, but we'll get it over and we'll get to work."
Sam shared the dais with five other players taken in the sixth and seventh rounds Saturday as the draft came to a close. replica oakleys
cheap replica oakleys Snead joked that Tennessee State center Demetrius Rhaney, taken one pick after Sam at 250th overall, should get the first question after it got lost in the hubbub Saturday.
"I'm not sure anybody knows we drafted Demetrius," Snead said, adding that he hoped someday that pick 249 will someday be a footnote in sports history, and not such a big deal.
For Sam's subsequent solo session with reporters, he was flanked by Fisher and Snead, with Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff joining the group. fake discount oakleys
replica oakleys Everyone seemed eager to embrace Sam.
buy oakleys outlet Second round pick Lamarcus Joyner, a cornerback from Florida State, has never had an openly gay teammate. He applauded Sam's decision.
"He's a courageous young man," Joyner said. "He's a brave young man that we need in this organization." oakleys outlet
The team's two first round picks were first to the podium. Offensive tackle Greg Robinson, chosen second overall, sported a bow tie. cheap oakleys
Both got their due. Both welcomed Sam to the family. buy replica oakleys

"He's a cool guy," Donald said. "He's a football player, he works his butt off and that's what you want. You want playmakers around you and he's a playmaker. fake oakleys

a strong case for viewership, but not with these teams. The second issue I see is that it is a lose lose scenario. If things don't go well, Yahoo looks foolish. If things do go well, then the NFL will probably try to do something again on a larger scale, Elite White Bobby Orr Jersey and at a much larger price tag. As detailed in the market current linked in my opening, a slate of Thursday night games becomes available next year. It was reported that CBS (NYSE:CBS) paid $275 million last year when it bought 8 Thursday games. With the NFL's popularity and content prices soaring, you're probably looking at a $300 million to $400 million Elite Reilly Smith Jersey per year investment for an 8 game package. I just don't see that in Yahoo's long term strategy, not for a company whose operating income was just $142 million last year. These games are more suited for a big network with deep pockets, one that already has the production infrastructure in place and has done this before. Plus, I don't see Yahoo trying to outbid one of the larger networks

NEW YORK — Subways started running again in much of New York City on Thursday for the first time since Superstorm Sandy, but traffic at bridges backed up for miles, long lines formed at gas stations, and tempers flared as commuters waited for buses.
The trains couldn't take some New Yorkers where they needed to go. There was no service in downtown Manhattan and other hard-hit parts of the city, and people had to switch to buses. But some of those who did use the subway were grateful.
"It's the lifeline of the city. It can't get much better than this," said Ronnie Abraham, who was waiting at Penn Station for a subway train to Harlem, a trip that takes 20 minutes underground but 2½ hours on the city's badly overcrowded buses.
Three days after Sandy slammed the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast, New York and New Jersey struggled to get back on their feet, the U.S. death toll climbed to more than 80, and more than 4.6 million homes and businesses were still without power.
Nearly 20,000 people remained stranded in their homes by floodwaters in Hoboken, N.J., across the river from the New York, and swaths of the New Jersey coastline lay in ruins, with countless homes, piers and boardwalks wrecked.
In a piece of good news for many New Yorkers, Con Edison said it is on track to restore power by Saturday in Manhattan, where a quarter-million customers were without electricity. And Mayor Michael Bloomberg said meals and bottled water will be distributed in hard-hit neighborhoods around the city.
Downtown Manhattan, which includes the financial district, the Sept. 11 memorial, Chinatown and Little Italy, was still mostly an urban landscape of shuttered bodegas and boarded-up restaurants. People roamed in search of food, power and a hot shower. Some dispirited and fearful New Yorkers decided to flee the city.
"It's dirty, and it's getting a little crazy down there," said Michael Tomeo, who boarded a bus to Philadelphia with his 4-year-old son. "It just feels like you wouldn't want to be out at night. Everything's pitch dark. I'm tired of it, big-time."
Rima Finzi-Strauss was taking a bus to Washington. When the power went out Monday night in her apartment building on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, it also disabled the electric locks on the front door, she said.
"We had three guys sitting out in the lobby last night with candlelight, and very threatening folks were passing by in the pitch black," she said. "And everyone's leaving. That makes it worse."
She said people were on the street buying "old, tiny little vegetables" and climbing 20 floors into apartments where they couldn't flush the toilet and had no heat. New York dipped to about 40 degrees Wednesday night.
The death toll in New York City alone was close to 40. Police on Thursday said two brothers, ages 2 and 4, who were swept away Monday night when waves of water crashed into an SUV driven by their mother in Staten Island were found dead.
Flights took off and landed Thursday at LaGuardia Airport, the last of the three major New York-area airports to reopen since the storm.
In the morning, more than 1,000 people waited outside an arena in Brooklyn for buses to Manhattan. When one bus pulled up, passengers rushed the door. A transit worker banged on a bus window and yelled at people on the bus and in line.
With the electricity out and gasoline supplies scarce, many stations across the metropolitan area closed, and the stations that were open drew long lines of cars that spilled out onto roads.
"Either they're out of gas or the lines are ridiculous," Katie Leggio said from her car, in line on Long Island. "I need gas. I think it's ridiculous that they're doing this to us when we're down, but what are you going to do? We're desperate, and we're helpless."

Economic Growth and Distribution in Chinaby Nicholas R. Lardy
Pub. Date: 11/28/2004
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
This study maintains that China's system of economic planning tends to mitigate the trade-off between economic growth and equity that has been found to prevail in the early stages of development in most less developed countries. The analysis focuses on the Chinese leadership's attempt to improve economic efficiency by decentralizing economic management without encouraging, as a consequence, increased economic inequality among different regions. By examining the budgetary and planning process, focusing in particular on the fiscal relations between the centre and the far-reaching degree of resource redistribution undertaken by the central government through its control of interprovincial and intersectoral resource transfers. Professor Lardy's analysis highlights the essential features of Chinese economic growth and relates these to the experience of both developing and Soviet-type economies.

UPDATE at 12:15 p.m.
Dayton police are rallying around Sgt. Lowe and his family and the family of Rhonda Boyer, Lowe's girlfriend who was killed in the hit/skip crash, according to Sgt. Aaron Fraley.
Lowe is recovering from his injuries at Miami Valley Hospital.
Fraley said charges against Hawks, the driver who allegedly fled the scene after causing the crash, could be upgraded.
UPDATE at 10:54 a.m.
Police have released more details about the crash.
According to Dayton Police Sgt. Aaron Fraley, the suspect Jeremy Wayne Hawks was driving a red Nissan pickup when he attempted to turn left from westbound Germantown Street onto Conners Street. Sgt. Lowe was headed home from a private event going east on Germantown Street when he struck Hawks' truck.
Hawks is being held on a felony charge of fleeing the scene of an accident. Fraley said charges may be added or changed as the investigation continues.
Fraley said it remains unclear why Hawks fled the scene.
Police confirmed Monday morning that Jeremy Wayne Hawks, 43, is the suspect who allegedly fled the scene of the accident that killed Rhonda Boyer and left Dayton Police Sgt. Gary Lowe recovering from injuries at Miami Valley Hospital.
Lowe was listed in good condition Monday morning, according to the hospital.
Police are expected to release more details about what happened later Monday.
The crash happened late Saturday night at Germantown and Conners streets. Lowe, who sources say was off-duty at the time, was riding a motorcycle with passenger Boyer, who was killed when the motorcycle apparently collided with another vehicle, allegedly driven by Hawks.
Police in Dayton are not releasing many details about an investigation into a fatal crash involving a motorcycle Saturday night.
The Montgomery County Coroner's Office confirmed that Rhonda Boyer, 52, of Farmersville, was killed in the crash, which happened shortly after 10:30 p.m. at Conners and Germantown streets.
A Dayton police sergeant said an investigation is underway, but no details were released about what happened. Share your condolences for Rhonda Boyer.
Reports from multiple sources indicate Boyer was a passenger on a motorcycle that was being driven by a Dayton police officer who was off-duty.
Those reports indicate the motorcycle was struck by another vehicle that fled the scene, and the police officer was also injured.
A check at Miami Valley Hospital indicates a man with the same name as the police officer was in the surgery department Sunday afternoon.
The supervisor in charge of the investigation said details of the investigation would be released Monday.
