Polls are closed! Let’s look at the results.
The vast majority of you are not trying DCUO. Not surprising, given the time and money investment required for a new MMO. And the fact that it isn’t the hotly anticipated Guild Wars 2 or Star Wars: The Old Republic. Oh, and have you heard? A little thing called Cataclysm might be keeping people busy lately.
Whether or not you’re playing DCUO, I recommend checking out Nicole Spagnuolo’s write up on it.
The MMOing in public crowd just barely eeked out the non-public crowd. Looks like the number one location of choice is on school grounds. What surprised me is that bar/cafe/restaurant trailed not too far behind! I never see that here. Maybe NYC cafes are too packed for someone to comfortably set up for 4 hours on a game and not get glared at? Or maybe I’m just not going to the right ones.
Not many people let us know where there mystery “Not listed here” locations are. I’m still wondering….
This summer, I ran a WoW dungeon while at 30,000 feet on an airplane.
THAT was fun (but laggy).
My “Not listed” was a internet cafe, if that counts.
Wanted to try DCUO, but that’s not going to happen as things stand.
i’ll be trying rift but won’t try dcuo… did try coh/cov but never got into it enough and even if i might’ve tried dcuo if not for coh/v it’s turned me off of trying similarily themed games.
Those of you who are hesitant whether or not to pick up DCUO, you should. The game itself is a lot of fun it is way less grindy than games like WoW. That also means that if you’re a hardcore player that plays around 5-8 hours a day, you might find yourself bored after a while.
I picked it up and I spent AT LEAST 4 hours just playing around in character creation before going into the game and just freeroaming gotham city for 3 hours.
Speaking of freeroaming, Acrobatics or Super Speed is the most fun of the movement options (in my opinion). Flying gets dull after an hour or so, while the other two are fun fun mechanics in themselves. Probably because it’s fairly new mechanics to someone like me (flying has been in WoW for a long time).
My principles are strangling my fun, unfortunately. Unless they drop their inflated price gouges for Australians, I’m not going to touch it.
Is it just me or does half of 729 not equal 412
It ws multiple answer, so there’s a few doubled up counts
Yeah I just thought it was funny some people would only answer part of the poll
I *can’t* play any other MMOs unless they release a Mac version. Or I go ahead and install Windows on my Mac.
I’m still tempted to check out DCUO, but the other one that i will more then likely be playing with a few friends is going to be RIFT.
DCUO is incredibly fun. I love Nicole’s write-up on it. My thoughts are being journaled here: http://boneyardmachines.com/mof/?p=78
a progressive review I am working on.
Loving it!
