I have noticed that others on here have chatted about the superhero MMO called DC Universe Online where you can create your own superhero, or supervillain, and do all sorts of funny quests, go on missions with known DCU characters, fight against opposing factions with your grand superpowers and cool weaponry!

It is one of the more enjoyable F2P (free to play) MMO's I have played and I love how action-based it is! The character creation could be better though, like the one at Champions Online, however, CO isn't nearly as fun to play, imo.

I just recently started playing it again on my PS3 on an EU PVE server and I have yet to make a main character as I am trying out the different power sets. So far, the Mental power set is my favourite and I have made an Ermac inspired character called Soul Sorcerer. Cheesy name, I know. XD

If you don't know the game, you can check it out here:

http://www.dcuniverseonline.com/

It can be downloaded on both your PS3 or to PC, however it doesn't support cross-console playing which means you cannot play with PC-players on your PS3 or the other way around.

So tell us about your experience of the game, who are your characters, what powers and weapons do you like, do you play a hero or a villain, etc etc?

ALRIGHT!!! We all need to gang up and do some instances and shit. Everybody start adding each other and well try to schedule a day when we can all get on.I'm for now working on my character. She's level 10. Hopefully stronger soon. Probably the reason why this is the only MMO I have played for a long time is because the movement in the game. Flying fast or running fast to your next objective sure beats the fuck out of slowly running. I like the combat. I just think flying is the best method of getting around.

So I tried it, but I can't see any of the text because the TV in my room isn't an HDTV (and yes, I've tried the scale options mid game, they don't help

That being said, I might redownload it, and limit my playing to the nice 1080p TV in the living room, but my timeframe for playing would be limited as well.

I have DCUO for my laptop and I haven't even really touched it. I made a villain who has a reptilian body and carries a sniper rifle.

I named him Snipeleon ._.

This is getting ridiculous.
I still can't get into the game. If you noticed my post in the Drive-By thread, I've had trouble connecting to the game. I start it, the loading screens appears and then it sends me to the "Disconnected" screen. I tried contacting customer service and did what they asked me, and it continues to do this. Bah!

I'm going to completely re-install the game, though that takes ages, but it is worth a try.

I have a few villains too that I try out now and then, but these are the ones I use the most:

Soul Sorcerer
Mental power set and Hand Blast weapon.
Has Circe as mentor and uses Flight travel.
He is basically based on Ermac's alternate outfit in the newest MK with a Black, Dark Red and Neon Green colour scheme. I chose to have the Demonic skin for him, Runed Hood, Metalhead Mask, Trenchcoat, Arcane Pants, Lunar Gloves and Lunar Boots.

Psionicist
Mental power set and Martial Art weapon.
Has Lex Luthor as mentor and uses Acrobatic travel.
Kinda inspired by Raiden from Metal Gear series, having the cyborg ninja look to him and with Black, Violet and Silver colour scheme. He has the Cyborg skin, black Jimmy hairstyle, the Contemporary Tech chest and pants, the Sniper face (the one with both the mask and goggles) and the Techno belt. No gloves or boots, as I have yet to find any style that fits those.

Does anyone know how to make screenshots on your PS3? Because I don't know how and I would like to show you guys my characters... If not, then maybe I should install the game on my laptop, make the characters and take screenshots from there, but that seems like alot of hassle just to take a few shots. XD

I wish I had a PS3 to play this on. I play it on PC and seriously need a controller for this. This game is very fun though and I love the character creation.

I can't really get into character creation most of the time I just make them with all black outfits and whatever the default gear is.

I believe F9 is the key to take screenshots with, unless you have changed it in settings. The screenshots will be saved in your Documents/My Games/DC Universe Online/SceenShots folder.

Yeah, it annoys me we can't take screenshots on the PS3. Some games have the feature though... but not DCUO. :(
