DC Universe Online: First Look

CHARSELECT_CREATE-PC-19-14.34.160

After listening to last night’s keynote at SOE Live, DC Universe Online caught my attention.  Why you might be wondering, given all the other games out there?  Quite simply they are introducing housing and it looked fun.  So today I downloaded and installed the client, as did hubby.

We had time to get through the opening mission, a couple of times each to be honest trying to get the character and class just right, and had a blast.  So far, at the oh so brutal level of 4 we are both having fun.  Game play is fast paced, questing doesn’t appear to be overly complex (good and bad thing depending on your perspective around here) and there is a boatload of customization allowed.

I’m sure tomorrow we will both explore Gotham and Metropolis more thoroughly before we make a decision on long term playing.  If we decide to do so, we would upgrade to the All Access Pass from SOE.  It’s also a very nice break from high fantasy games.
