Batman is the best super hero ever, so KP and Calax are crazy
-
I've always been more of a Marvel guy myself. The only DC character I've ever been into was Batman and his stable of villains. That changed a bit when I got into the Green Arrow TV show Archer, and now that I'm playing the game, I'm really surprised how much depth there is to the DC universe. It's actually kind of nice getting some details on all these characters I only had a cursory knowledge of.

So I know a few people here play this, and I've been pretty surprised at what a solid MMO it is. Anyone interested in putting together a league? I've been spending most of my time as a hero, I can dabble with a villain but I tend to like to be the good guy. I'm impressed by the cities. Gotham was fun, but when I got to Metropolis I was really wowed. Also the combat is fast and I'm getting the hang of the combos, it's a pretty good system with some nice complexity. I've still got a lot to learn, I haven't even touched any of the events or anything like that. My main character is an acrobatic mentalist with two pistols. His name, oddly enough, is Hurlshot.

It's really two very different types of happiness though. It's pretty much the definition of short term versus long term happiness. Honestly I prefer to just have it all.

DC Universe Online continues to impress me. Metropolis is a much nicer city than Gotham. I love Batman and the whole Batman world a lot more than Superman, but it's nice to have some sunshine and bright colors. I got my first lair, it needs some work. I'm very impressed at how good the character building is, and not just at creation. The skills, combo building, icon powers, etc. really make you feel unique among all the other players. I've been running around just looking at all the different types of PC's out there, it's impressive.

In some ways copyright infringement can be worse than physical theft. If you take a piece of copyright material and make it available to millions of people behind the owners back, that is a lot more serious than taking an actual object. But hey, let's not get in the way of all the immoral crusaders and their fight against The Man.

I'm guessing you didn't read the book Woldan. The book, while still aimed towards a young audience, did a better job of explaining how the whole scenario worked. For example, worrying about the water is unnecessary, this isn't just some spot in a forest. Its more of an arena that was designed specifically for the game. Still a pretty silly concept. It gets more outlandish as they move forward with the story.

Deen Domino is made (Dean was already taken) and ready for action. He's got two pistols and a fondness for traps, as well as a nice swagger. Championchik would also be another suitable villain.

We could totally form the Obsidian League. I think I can actually come up with a pretty good hero or villain based on Obsidian characters.

You just haven't hit 30 yet. Enjoy

Chinatown is an interesting place, for sure, but I wouldn't eat there either. But honestly it's not the cleanest part of San Francisco. There are also just a ton of fantastic famous restaurants within a couple blocks, so why bother. Although the best place for seafood in SF is the small vendors right along the piers. Best prices, and as fresh as it can get.

Exploring Gotham City in DC Universe, this game is much better than I expected. Combat is pretty fast paced, and it is easy to navigate the city. I'll give it a month and see how it holds up over time, but I'm impressed.

So basically, Torment in name only? I hear it is basically Wasteland with swords. Or maybe Wasteland is going to be Torment with guns.

Downloading now Heh, I was on my phone so I kept it brief. So far I only played through the tutorial, but the character creation is fantastic and I've spent over an hour with that alone. My daughter also wanted to play and she has made a Wonder Woman character.

DC Universe Online - Surprisingly good so far.

I'll take the Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, since folks were just talking about it and now I'm interested.

I've never heard of Dark Eye, so I concede that it could be your praise of the IP that threw me off.

Er, I hope you're asking me how much it costs and not how much I get for promoting this game or something like that. Because I get nothing and I'm just excited about this (and skeptical, like I said) and want people to know about it. You seem like a pretty regular poster somewhere, but Bester has a point about the tone of your post. It starts out with: But then you go on to heap lavish praise about it, which doesn't really add up. I don't really believe you just found out about it a few minutes before you made this thread. Don't get me wrong, the game sounds interesting and I've been keeping an eye on it myself, but your post does come across as a dishonest sales pitch.

Yeah I'm pretty hesitant about these early access things. I think my attention span is better served by playing the finished product.

2/9 as well. I tended to err on the side of bleakness, some of the gains were quite positive.

oh. my. god. Holy ****, that is pretty freakin' awesome. Lol, that was fun. Genius!

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VI (The Old Menace)
Hurlshort replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
They actually explain it in game when you take the quest from the purity tester guy. I think it has something to do with the original darkside humans and the sith race and their purity of the force. Regardless it is less about your skin tone and more about your genetics and power within the force. They are worried about it being diluted by weaker force members.- 505 replies

My wife, who teaches PE, was called into the principal's office once for yelling at a group of students who were not doing what they were supposed to do. One of them recorded it. The principal, who has no children, asked my wife if she would talk to her daughter like that. She couldn't help but laugh. Of course we yell at our kids!
