I'd like my character's general concept to WORK from the get go, not have to play months before can finally sorta attain the look i wanted it to have in the beginning.

Most of the things i'd want to do with a char look wise ARE in the game, but so many of the stuff takes such a long time to even be abler to earn, i feel its a little unfair that your creativity should be severely limited by what little youre offered in the beginning. When you create a character you have a concept in mind, and with the character creator of DCUO, its almost impossible to execute most concepts because you are so limited in what you can wear. While i feel it shouldnt all be there for you in the beginning, i think the character creator is severely lacking.whenever i've went back to create an alt i realized how disappointing the options were in the beginning. I agree that the customizability of the characters could be better, and it might be nice to have more options to start with, but I just love the idea that if you want the coolest looks, you have to work for it. Aside from the awesomeness of being able to switch styles at will (unlike the old trend of not being able to do it, and the new trend of transmuting or whatever) there is the genius of a style-heavy game actully using the styles as a reward. ↑ “ The DCUO style system is the single greatest style system in any MMO I ha e ever played. It's not without flaws, but there's never been anything game-breaking that has made me even think about quitting. Even though you can get from one side of Metropolis to the other in a short amount of time, it's always felt like a big city. DCUO has kept me engaged, I've never had a problem with how the customization in this game works, the voice over work was done without it being overdone (and well cast, too) and the scale has always felt right. I stopped playing CO a while ago, and even when I gave it a try as free-to-play during some downtime, I couldn't get past character creation because it just seemed really clunky. The endgame crafting was a cascading nightmare at times (trying to figure out the math of how many pieces of each component I'd need gave me headaches when the results came out), the scale never really felt right (especially in the city for some reason) and after a while it just bugged me that my Swinging movement character could soar high over the Canadian wilderness without having anything above him for his grapple line to latch on to. Again, great customization and I did have a lot of fun with some of the movement powers there, but after a while the shine started to fade.

I do give it full credit for its customization, though.Ĭhampions Online did click for me, and for a while I was playing both CO and DCUO. Just something about it that didn't click with me. But the taste of it that I had wasn't enough to get me to subscribe and start playing. When City of Heroes came out, it grabbed my attention right off the bat being a super hero MMO in a fantasy-filled MMO landscape.

Right now I've got to give the nod to DC. Add to the fact that the game's IP comes from a very popular comic/media industry, and you have a recipe for a superhero/supervillain MMO that has the potential to thrive for years to come (if treated properly, of course). Between an epic and ever-expanding storyline, unique combat system, top-notch voice acting, and the ability to truly feel like my own character, I don't feel like anything else comes close to it.

While there are still quite a few hiccups with this game (many improvements can still be made), something about it still keeps me always coming back for more. I've never personally played City of Heroes/Villains or Champions Online, but I'd still have to go with DC Universe Online mostly because City of Heroes/Villains is no longer around to compete with (but the nostalgia of that game for those that did play it remains the same), and I feel that Champions Online doesn't have nearly the amount of iconic content (gameplay, setting, or character-wise) that DC Universe Online has.
