Seriously? Just how bad can they screw this up? I think the worst is yet to come.

Take the best IP and just totally miff it. What a bunch of morons,...

I like the system, with a few changes and a new engine this game could be reborn. It's been a long time since I have played Brom the Mediocre. :) Adding points directly to the skills you want to improve was/is a great idea.

I'm tired of bad comic book movies.

So they released a traler we can't watch? Awesome

This game is dead.

It's ironic that SWG is shutting down this year, while that game has actually more people playing still, than this game.

I think Vanguard, Matrix Online, Tabula Rasa... hell even Auto Assault, didn't loose that many subs that fast as DCUO did.

Per PC game server you can count the number of players online during peak hours on two hands. That's it.

So instances basically just don't pop anymore.... so to please the few remaining, they now give out free marks for them to help buy gear... lol!

I know this will fall on deaf ears but I'l say it anyway, take a look on the PS3 version, it's busy busy busy.

When my friend at work told me he played on the PS3 version I just had to take a look to see if he was telling the truth about how busy the server was, and he was right, shame the PC version is dead though, guess the battle between console and PC has been won this round soundly by the console.

I'm sure SoE are more than happy to see the game turning a profit on either the PC or Console.

The game was so leaning to the console side of things it wasn't really a contest. As a rule I like PC games because they have more depth than a console game,or at least they used to, now they try one game for every platform and PC gamers just expect more from their games. Like a food buffet, they refuse to spice the food so they won't offend anyone.

DCUO  allowed you to level WAY too quickly for my old school pc gamers sensibilities. I really liked the combat system and had they slowed leveling down I would still be playing. The High Level Grind bores me to death and doing the same things over and over just seems, well, stupid. 

It's really too bad because it's a beautiful game with a truely wonderful combat system. I'd really like to see a fantasy setting with the same combat - and more mature leveling system.

I totally agree this is dead on the PC.

Yes, this looks good - let's get it rolling out already!  :)

I would love to see an action fantasy game. Something like DCUO control set, not just pushing buttons 1-9, and a huge rich world full of quests and dragons and stuff!

I agree with the OP, I didn't care for the game at all. With all things this is just MHO.   :)

I also couldn't leave the children there. Just like I couldn't take Dog Meat out with because he would always die, so I left him at home with the robot.

Worked out well.   :)

WoW with DCUO - I would love an action based fantasy setting.

Yeah the game needs more to do - the same missions over and over gets boring really quick. Just can't make myself log in anymore

I have like 5 or 6 level 30's but it's hard to find someone that doesn't want the uber gear to play with you.

basicly it's about a quarter of a game and they charge you full price.

I really really really wanted it to be good -

Well it's a new game takes awhile to work out the bugs.

I don't care for Rift thought it was boring, but they deserve a fair shake here. Give them a  little time to get it all together.

It Stinks and it's not tight but it's the world we live in.

Crafting can work why not ? I mean look at Wile E Coyote he is always crafting and trying to catch the Road Runner and even though those Acme designs are buggy he sticks with it. Okay he is not a supervillain but still he tries.

hehe Awesome I love that guy!

I have followed this game for a long time, and in my head made rationalised the growing unease from the road I have seen it take, but finally it's time to admit that it's not for me and move on. I just wanted to share my thoughts on it before I go.

I have played this enough now (4 betas, L27 on both sides) to know this game isnt for me, but I will give it  credit for being a decent, working, nice looking MMORPG. I do despair though when a game's main selling point is 'it works' though tbh, but that aside...

The game, to me, is just a bit boring. Even for a MMORPG, which can specialise in being boring at times as we all know.

It is, imo, a game that lacks ambition or reach, one that is happy to settle for the mundane. It is small (world wise), narrow (vision wise), derivative, uninspired (design wise), and extremely linear. It is lacking severly in 'fluff' (which is extremely important imo) in any aspect that would elevate it above it's quest grind foundations. It's quests are dull and consist mainly of 'kill X' (with a couple of notable exceptions). It's dungeons are tiny and limited, with only the Iron tombs standing out so far as a better then average experience.

I have played through, like I say, to 27 now on both sides, including have done the 4 small linear instanced dungeons that you get to run by this time, and I honestly don't see the long term play in Rift for me. I would honestly be done with whats on offer in my first month... and what then? PvP at 50 for 4-8 months until we see more content dropped in? No thanks.

Even if I was a raider, the end game (grinding the retooled and slightly expanded dungeons you have already run repeatedly in the game for gear in two tiers to get ready to grind the raid instances for more gear), probably wouldnt appeal to me personally.

The rift system iteself has also let me down. It is simply a random spawning of mobs to zerg... they look lovely the first time you see them, sure, but by the second beta I was skirting around them, bored of the zerg play and pew pew pissing contest. They had become a nuiscance, and as for them changing the world (the 'dynamic' content so touted)... well, they don't, not for any time anyhow. They spawn, they hang around for a little while, they despawn, the world goes back to how it was. Very dissapointing in their effect and scope tbh.

There is no depth or real personality to this game... The character customisation and itemisation is severely lacking (defiants and guardians have the same armour lines, most of which is pretty ugly imo), and it's like a clone zerg 90% of the time as people swarm along the quest paths or towards a rift. It would be funny if it wasnt so sad.

It feels like a treadmill as soon as you log in, and by 27 that hasnt changed. It mollycoddles and spoonfeeds all the way through, it asks for very little off the player (which is why it will probably be huge with the casual crowd).

But... despite all this... the game runs well, looks good in it's environments (I am not a fan of the character models tho tbh... a strange hybrid of Aion and AoC that dosent work for me), and does what it says on the tin- it is a 100% themepark questgrinder. It is very competent and workmanlike, just very boring for me.

With regards to this game being 'next gen'.. no, it just isnt. It really is just the end product of the last generation. It has taken the exisiting model that we know so well and polished it to a minimalist sheen, offering just enough glitz and play to sell it at launch (and then leaving the devs to panic about how to retain players past month 1).

All just my opinions ofc.

Despite all In have said, I don't hate the game and I actually wish it well. More games out there to choose from the better imo and if a certain section of players enjoys it, fair enough. I will wait and see how Arche Age turns out personally.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I don't think it matters - game kinda sucks anyway.

Go find a real game - at best it's a 5 minute deversion from what ever it is you're really playing.

The chicks are hot!  :)

Black and White

It's called Star Wars, you don't think that the place where the stars are would be important? Again, someone sitting in a big chair makes a money desision that save them money and makes everyone else pay.

Bioware I have a lot of respect for you guys, take this back and make it right.

I don't care where it's set, Cryptic is going to give us another empty world.

NWN is one of my favorite games of all time, and to put it in there hands just makes my stomach curdle.

This is the worst game ever
