See I have a massive issue with F2P....blah blah blah troll comment...

But seriously...I've toed the line with this game for a ages, is it worth me spending ages downloading on my 2.5MB connection to give it a go, or should I just save my bandwidth? Not a huge fan of superhero stuff, but the idea of getting into a superhero MMO sounds cool. Played City of Heroes once before and wasn't impressed, how does it compare?

Actual superheroes you recognise from movies/comics etc

A plot that kinda makes sense.

Generally its what CoH/Champs Online should have been if theyd had a license.

What's the hard drive size requirement for this game? I am disgustingly low on hard drive space, but not quite at the point where I'm willing to uninstall WoW, despite how few hours I've logged on it the last few weeks.

I also need to run WoW on just about the lowest settings. Will DCU run?

14.5GB or so.

And it should do fine tbh, its set that it can run on consoles and they arent as good as some low end pc's as it is :)

Sounds promising.

There's a new laptop in my not-too-distant future for Star Wars, but I find myself needing something to tide me over in the meantime. I'll check it out.

Ok, so Stalwart Sentinel is now level 9, and Wraithwing is level 7.

Much prefer Gotham over Metropolis. Using acrobatics to scale walls and jump from rooftop to rooftop in Crime Alley in Gotham is A.mazing. Purest win.

Bought me some points from the store for 4 quid to upgrade to premium.

Chat system sucks, and the power selections seems pretty limited when compared to CO, but other than that, pretty swish.

Yeah chat system is awful.  They assumed that everyone would use their built in voice, but thats even worse as its like xbox chat with even worse stupidity...

I made a league by the way, called Liberty Restrained.

In this sort of game, its worth rolling both and giving them all a go, as the sheer amount of superhero icons you work with and against is just amazing.

And then personally in any 2 faction failover, I'll always go the "good" side as its just less aggravating that dealing with emo 12 yr olds who want to "throw off the man" and rebel in a game...

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)
