heller said: As for the subscription price it seems pretty standard, WoW and Aion both charge roughly the same price. If they get it right and the game offers depth I'd have no issues with the price tbh.

That's a bit harsh if you ask me. It doesn't look THAT bad. MMO games are rarely your Call of Duty in the looks department my friend (except for Aion....god damn that game is gorgeous).

Personally I think it has potential to grow and be a lot of fun. Take a look at City of Heroes/Villains. It has been doing well for years and IMO is lacking. I think this has potential to pick up the slack and create the experience that CoH was supposed to be.
Plus graphics mean nothing if a game is good/fun to play. All the graphics in the world didn't stop Black Ops from being an average game, just like bad graphics didn't stop Minecraft from being a glorious game to play.

You keep referring to PC games (Where as I refer to PS3)
One thing I'm sure we can both agree on is that the PS3 and PC are vastly different Platforms with vastly different player bases.
This being the case I feel that my views will be validated as fact in the coming months after its release and subsequent failure.
If you want to play MMO's (P2P) stick to the PC..........

heller said: Actually this thread is covering the PC and PS3 forums mate. I'm posting from the PC site
As for MMO's on the PS3 I guess the real question is will they ever work? The only way I can see it working is if you actually plug in a keyboard and mouse, or they release something really simplified to fit in with the PS3 controller. I think DCU has done that so it is easy to play with a controller, which may in face harm its success on the PC platform.
Another question I want to know is do you think this game was made to sell to the MMO crowd or just to cash in on all the comic lovers out there?

Your point's in regards to the PC version seem quite valid..........
As such it looks like it will be a Failure on Both PS3 & PC............

HAHA fair call indeed sir.
I'm buying it for PC and will have a full review up....so I guess it will be a very expensive failure

What do you think would make subscription gaming work on the PS3? What would make you hand over a monthly fee like so many WoW addicts out there?
