My first two weeks with DCUO.

Two weeks ago I got DCUO as an early birthday gift, and decided to share some of the experiences I've encountered during these two weeks, and what you can expect from playing DCUO. First of all it is important that you do not play on a standard tv the text is too small, and bringing up the big chat window still cuts off text. In two days it's easy to get up to level 15, after that things get a little harder, but you are still able to do things on your own. Missions are given to you by more than one person in the Justice League(Or Hall of Doom for villains), and then you complete a quest head to the next area, and you do this for about 3 times, during one mission, and then fight the boss, which isn't bad, just more variety of missions would be great.

People are friendly in DCOU, I've had people help with missions I couldn't complete by myself, and I've helped people more than once beat bosses. I've had trouble getting into the arena, and legends PVP, and I've only done them once each. The game really starts at the end, because when you hit level 30 you get access to raids, and duos, and then when you do the dailies you get more reknown for different factions. PVP is a love/hate thing for me, I like getting in a group of people, and taking down level 30 villains, but it can be frustrating when doing a mission, and villains are ganking the mission area, but I just switch characters when that happens.I've had a few interesting chats on the chat, and you can expect to have some too, I can guarantee if you play on the Killing Joke server that there are interesting people on there. I'll tell you two examples. The first person I had seen on the chat that was interesting was a hero by the name of analbag, he was asking people if there were "any serious butt players," I didn't see his name so, I thought he meant people who take the game seriously, and kick butt. I asked him what he meant, and he told me "serious butt players," I told him he should not ask that here, but on GameFaqs, because I thought he was joking, he told he found my name funny with it having Ass(hero's name is SilentAssassin) in it twice, and I told him I was joking, because I thought he was joking. Second one was people on the trade channel tend to say what they want, need, or have twice, by repeating, sometimes they do it three times. Someone named their hero Christopher Nolan, and I told him jokingly he should be working on the Dark Knight Rises, and then a bunch of us started talking about it, and someone got mad that we were talking about a Batman movie on a DC game.

If you have any questions about DCUO I can do my best to answer them, or there's a thread for asking for help on DCUO on the forums.

PVP needs tweaking in my opinion. everyone just blocks and rolls when they are close to death which makes them invincible then they just switch to travel mode and run off.

it completely breaks down PVP.

Looks like PlayStation took a hit with Marathon and is now quietly adjusting prices worldwide to recover the losses

The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.

Kiln Review - Half Baked | CGMagazine

CGMagazine writes: "And as I said, the actual game of Kiln is so genuinely boring that playing it to unlock the creative tools was such a massive chore that I genuinely started to resent it by the end. Battling is a monotonous button masher. There are only five arenas, and despite being based on different gods from various mythologies, none are particularly memorable in visual style or music. And it’s all just such a homogeneous mess of nothing."
