You know that nonsense about Superman being cursed? I’m starting to believe it. This video is take three after two failed videos thanks to technical issues, and even this one has a random disconnect in the middle due to dodgy internet. Okay, so it’s not dying mysteriously in a bucket of soup, but still. Cursed!

Anyway, how’s the game? The game is actually a huge amount of fun even for people like me who have no idea what they’re doing, or what’s happening, or why. The combat is pretty fast, and I am getting old, but even so I rarely get “knocked out” (you don’t die, you just get KO’d and then have the chance to flee once you’re recovered). I”m not far into the game, but so far I’m having a decent amount of fun and the whole thing looks glorious.

One thing I didn’t cover in the video is the character customisation, which is fairly deep. The exception is your actual body – there’s a choice of three faces and three heights but that’s it which is why all the women are… uh… chesty. There’s a ton of costume choices and a pretty good colour editor. Personally I wouldn’t spend a ton of time on the costume design because as soon as you start playing you start collecting new gear which ruins your carefully created look.

I don’t know if I’ll play to the point where I need to pay, but I’m certainly going to be spending more time in DC Universe because it’s just fun, and makes a great change from orcs and goblins.  So if you see me around in Metropolis, wave from a safe distance because I am so bad at this I might just get you killed otherwise.
