The game is usually pretty good about telling you where to go and what to do for each quest. While some of the dialogue surfaces in your chat log, it doesn't always do so, and I've missed a few mission briefings, as a result.
#DCUO HOLD THE LINE PS3#
except the PS3 version of the game currently has a bug that occasionally interrupts speech, and if you play long enough, the speech (and a lot of the other audio) eventually just sort of stops working. It starts with quest dialogue, which is usually spoken. The quest design has a few very right, well-implemented ideas surrounded by a ton of filler. Still, it's usually fine enough for just mashing your way through mobs and soloing instances. They never seem to work right when it counts. With some attacks having extra effects, like interrupting an enemy that's in the middle of casting, the imprecise nature of your attacks can make combat frustrating.
#DCUO HOLD THE LINE FULL#
While you start to earn more powerful melee combos as you gain levels, the mushy, unresponsive feel of the attacks make you quickly mash out the full combo, rather than employing any sort of timing or, God forbid, want to decide mid-combo that you want to hold down a button to go for a different attack. Actions feel latent-you know, like the sort of latency you'd expect when connecting to an MMO server instead of a four-player action game or something. But that's probably the first, and most disappointing thing I noticed when I started playing the PlayStation 3 version of the game.ĭCUO's combat looks like an action game, but it definitely doesn't feel like one.

For me, that largely comes from the idea of a more action-oriented game, one that's more about skillful manipulation of a gamepad than waiting for your turn to strike and carefully managing a set of additional abilities. While I've never been much for the traditional superhero, there's something superficially appealing about the notion of DC Universe Online. If you hit max level and grind out a lot of rep with the right factions, you'll be able to buy fancy suits.
