Hm.... nope. Still looks awful.
Has SOE ever made anything good? You'd think they could at least try to produce something that tricked us into thinking it might be good. So far the only worthwhile thing that's come out of this game is the cinematic trailer.

They made Star Wars Galaxies...and though they later personally gut the living crap out of it and left it to bleed out...it was the best MMORPG ever created >.> God I miss that game. I'm not sure what to make of this game, it looks better than WoW but so does most other MMOs on the market now. Gameplay looks ... bleh
Speaking as someone who played SWG from launch, you TOTALLY have rose colored glasses on there, pal. Sure, the skill system was cool. But do you remember the fact that there were no quests besides the repetitive terminals and the three boring-ass quest hubs (which you could only do once)? Do you remember the almost completely barren landscapes of each planet? Do you remember waiting ten goddamn minutes for the shuttle? Do you remember having to have a doctor, a musician, and a dancer each buff you separately just so you could wear the good armor and still use your abilities? Do you remember attack graphics that didn't display properly, or at all? Do you remember people who carried three rancors and an ATST in their PDA? Do you remember suddenly warping thirty meters to the east, then underground, then ten yards from where you started? Do you remember holocrons and profession grinding? Do you remember running around in the desert looking for the bounty hunter "Mark of Intellect" quest for hours on end because there was literally nothing else to do? Do you remember it winning coaster of the year in every major gaming magazine?
Yeah, I remember SWG. That's when I first started hating SOE.
Again, don't get me wrong, the concepts behind some of what they were doing was okay, but they couldn't have fucked up the execution any worse if they'd tried. I predict much the same for DC Online.
