I haven't really seen anything at all detailing character customization, abilities or the like... is everyone stuck being the stereotypical walking hunk of meat/bazongas in skintight lycra prevalent in anything related to comic books? One of the few things I liked about City of Heroes/Villains was that you could make truly outlandish characters, non-human creatures and freak jobs galore.

So far from what I've seen, this gets a solid, unequivocal "meh" from me.

Here y'go...

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.

Really late reply - Computer being dead and what not, however yes I do remember all of that and forgive me for saying but I loved every minute. My first hours on that game was wandering the desert of tatooine with noone in sight, to the point that at about 5 hours after I had seen NOONE I logged out, deleted my character, and created anew. From what I remember the landscapes were huge and it just gave the game a great atmosphere. Yes I remember having to be buffed by 3+ seperate classes to get some great armor on but honestly...come on what better way to make a profession that is nothing more than logging in and /dancing or playing instrument all day important in the ecosystem. I can't say the 10 minute wait for shuttles were that annoying either, I'm not very impatient...if I'm on a time schedule for something important IRL then I wouldn't be playing games...and again it was a submersion into the game, In real life when you go to the corner and hail a cab theres not always the possibility that a cab is there to pick you up, nor do I believe theres an endless supply of Gryphons in a shed that can take you to the other side of the world in 13 minutes. Now I must say I stopped playing before the expansions into space so I cant say anything about the star fights, but I do know that I loved the game before hand. I REMEMBER HAVING A FUN TIME. I could care less if no one agrees with me, however my opinion is as good as anyone elses ^_^
