[fablenumber1fan]

and people say you cant get great things for free

[sambonz]

@fablenumber1fan very true, great game that this is =)

[themc73]

So I tried to play this game on pc and it didn't work, could i play this free on ps3?

[sambonz]

@themc73 you sure can! download and play it for free off the PS Store =)

[daveysweigard]

I fucking love this game and I love this series. Thank you so much @sambonz for not only giving us a let's play of the best game in the world, (other than skyrim) but also for providing useful information on the game at the same time.

[sambonz]

@daveysweigard thanks very much! i appreciate the kind words, and i'm glad you're enjoying the series =)

[Bogodon]

Um sambonz or anyone can you awnser this question: If you were in Metropolis (Mentor Supes or Wonder) Could you actually go to Gotham when ever you feel?

[sambonz]

@Bogodon you sure can! all you need to do is head to your local PD or Hideout, and use the teleporter to go to your HQ, then take a teleporter from there to Gotham =)

[killerpipebomb12]

sambonz what would happen if blaze purple went to central city

[sambonz]

@killerpipebomb12 actually she can't - her Combat Rating isn't high enough yet =)

[jjackspear6]

I want to play this but it says something about graphocs card

[sambonz]

@jjackspear6 your graphics card (or it's drivers) are probably below the minimum system requirements for the game :S

[sandlewood99]

@sambonz

I have that problem to! Is it possible to upgrade them or something?

[sambonz]

@sandlewood99 it is, as long as you're on a desktop pc. if you're on a laptop it's normally not something that can be easily upgraded.

[sandlewood99]

@sambonz Damn! That's what I'm on.....

[sambonz]

@sandlewood99 still check tho, as some lappies can be upgraded, but it's rare :S

[ThatAllSeeingEye]

Someone mind telling me what PvE stands for? I'm guessing that its just you and other players go out and do stuff and fight normal enemies and maybe players who chose evil

[sambonz]

@ThatAllSeeingEye it stands for 'Player vs Environment' as opposed to 'Player vs Player' (PVP).

[TheBubbajones1]

i LOVE these videos but can you turn up game volume

[sambonz]

@TheBubbajones1 oh - yup back when these were recorded there were sound bugs that kept adjusting the game volume down. we're now up to episode 220, those issues got sorted a long time ago ;)

[MaximumAnime]

I love your DCUO videos, so I subscribed to you !

[sambonz]

@MaximumAnime thank you! glad you're enjoying them =)

[tuchesuavae]

Booster Gold is such a dick, his character is funny though,

[Markel1970A]

Hey, Sambonz and Tallagrassie, Matt Frewer is an actor who is very good. He did Max Headroom and He was in Star Trek the Next Generation, and I believe he was a V.A. for Aladdin and Disney's Gargoyles. I really like his voice. (So that's a compient to you, Romanova!)

[sambonz]

@Markel1970A i loved Max Headroom =)

[V1PER117]

yea its free to play but you need a good computer for Pcversion

[MultiFreaknik]

@samboz dude can ps3 players play with pc players

[sambonz]

@MultiFreaknik unfortunately they can't, no. separate servers.

[crochetboy13]

Did u say pvp or pve 

thanks

[sambonz]

@crochetboy13 hiya! sorry - not sure what you're referring to =) if you're asking what type of server i'm on, it's the US PVE PC one =)

[TheDustinGreen]

@sambonz if your on pve can you switch to a pvp server on ps3?

[sambonz]

@TheDustinGreen hrm that's a good question - i haven't tried it myself, but i'd assume there's a Phase Shifter machine in the Watchtower just like the PC version =)

[TheInfamousCamper]

@TheDustinGreen Yes you can switch to pvp on ps3 :)

[tastycookiechip]

Isn't this game free to play now??

[sambonz]

@tastycookiechip it sure is =)

[connorfoley123]

how long did it take you to get that storng

[sambonz]

@connorfoley123 hiya! not sure what you mean sorry =)

[jfforlifeable]

Can i know why you shift character's?

[sambonz]

@jfforlifeable you mean how come i went thru the training on one toon then rolled another? for sure - i just created the initial toon with a template so we could run thru and check out the intro content, then i spent time deciding what i actually wanted to play and rolled Blazepurple to journey thru the actual game with =)

[shamatua]

quck question how do i transport from superman place to Gotham b/c i need it for aside quest?

[sambonz]

@shamatua to travel from metropolis to Gotham, go to any MPD Station and use the teleporter in the mailroom. you'll end up at the Watchtower where you can then use the teleporters there to travel to Gotham.

[donnywillo]

is there companions like wow ?

[sambonz]

@donnywillo not that i've seen, no. there's toys, but not collectible companions.

[GamerGoblin1131]

Anyone knows if the download for DCUO will stop dowloading and then you have to download it again or can i just shut down my computer and continue the download tomorrow?

[sambonz]

@GamerGoblin1131 you can safely shut down your PC, it'll resume from where it left off =)

[SoldierOfShadowSOS]

@sambonz steam ftw

[sambonz]

@SoldierOfShadowSOS i love me my Steam =)

[SoldierOfShadowSOS]

@sambonz it finished last night but didnt wait till this morning to play, i just tried 2 times to play DC universe but it says the server did not respond D:

[sambonz]

@SoldierOfShadowSOS yah the servers are down while they install some software to alleviate the login issues caused by the huge influx of players =)

[SoldierOfShadowSOS]

@sambonz i waited a few minutes after i replied and it worked xD, my DCU name is ShadowSoldier

[sambonz]

@SoldierOfShadowSOS glad to hear it! =)

[lill00ney123]

she looks like that girl from kickass

[sambonz]

@lill00ney123 haha ;p

[lill00ney123]

@sambonz LOL

[jubiikid]

[sambonz]

@jubiikid thanks! can't wait for F2P either - be sure to add me to your friends list and say gidday if you see me online =)

[myKATS2008]

sambonz i just recently starting watching your videos and i must say your very good at explaining things and i really appreciate thatkeep up the good work

[sambonz]

@myKATS2008 thank you very much! i'm glad you're getting something out of them =)

[myKATS2008]

i think they should make a marvel mmo just like they did with DCUO

[sambonz]

@myKATS2008 yah wasn't there one in development a couple of years ago? or am i dreaming?

[myKATS2008]

@sambonz thats a good question i hope so cuz it would be kinda cool to have spiderman or professer X as a mentor lol

[NinjaFaceGames]

@sambonz yea there was it was changed 2 champions online, its ashame cuz i love marvel

[sambonz]

@NinjaFaceGames ah ok. yah i woulda preferred Marvel for sure.

[NinjaFaceGames]

@sambonz another guy just told me there is gonna be one so, YAY

[sambonz]

@NinjaFaceGames yah there's a Marvel MMO in development at the moment, not sure when it'll ever be released tho =)

[Rangersilver6]

@sambonz They started it back up, it will be f2p.

[sambonz]

@Rangersilver6 sry - which game's that?

[Rangersilver6]

@sambonz The marvel mmo.

[sambonz]

@Rangersilver6 oohh ok - thanks for the info =)

[Disawat]

I wish they would put SPIDERMAN in it I know hes not from the DC but just a thought its would be cool

[sambonz]

@Disawat haha yeh - actually there's tons of non-DC characters i'd love to see in the game too ;p

[Disawat]

@sambonz Hey I play DC universe on the PS3 just wondering if it any different from the PC version in terms of game play and such THX :)

[sambonz]

@Disawat nope it's exactly the same. well, except for the control layout of course =)

[TheitaniofRome]

@Disawat chk out champions online. it s not liscenced so no spider man or superman but u can jsut recreate whoever u want. any power set or travel power u can think of

[TheDave25s]

Although this is an old episode when you first droped out of.flight to demonstrate the no fall damage.. where afterwards you exclaimed "yea" you just sounded so amazed :)

[sambonz]

@TheDave25s haha - yup back in the day it was all of those little things that i really noticed and enjoyed., things we probably take for granted now =)

[Sk8terkid010]

this is a hell of alot like apb

[sambonz]

@Sk8terkid010 ahh, APB. i played that game in Beta - i loved the character and environment design but sadly i found the combat and driving mechanics to be a little undercooked :S

[thenikeboy2]

why did you choose that hair style

[sambonz]

@thenikeboy2 because i like it? ;)

[Redmonkey118]

Which is better Hand blast or martial arts? im going to use ice

[sambonz]

@Redmonkey118 oh - that really depends on your personal playstyle preferences =) handblaster has great ranged attacks, whereas martial arts is more for those who like to get up close with the face punching =)

[Redmonkey118]

@sambonz lol i keep changing my power so im going with fire cause i see the damage your character does with them

Im going to change handblasters today

[sambonz]

@Redmonkey118 hehe yup fire is great - lot's of fun too =)

[sambonz]

@yetifarmer09 AHAHAH omg noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! (dear lord that was an awful game!)

[irvman999]

I think when I get the game I'll create a sexy stripper super hero!She'll wear pink and skimpy outfits!

[simaveyon]

The city is awesome, but where is everyone? No cars, no people or animals, just vast emptiness

[sambonz]

@simaveyon it depends what part of the city you're in. some zones are empty because of the invasion, others are crowded with citizens and cars etc =)

[DarkBunnyLord]

Is there any form of "trial" version of this mmo as there are with most?

I mean it sounds and looks really good but MMO's have a good track record of disappointing me thus if there's a trial I'd rather do that first than shelling out 50+ for the game +15 for a subscription fee only to possibly hate it.

[sambonz]

@DarkBunnyLord no there isn't yet unfortunately. the only thing i know of is that some ppl who bought the retail version got 'buddy keys' but i'd say they're long gone now =( for what it's worth the game comes with a 'free' 30 days..

[zm321290]

cool in the city

[sambonz]

@454blockveteran I asked Romanova (as I honestly wouldn't have a clue) and he doesn't seem to think so, no.

[fortunos]

And you're the one who said some people shouldn't be let near a character creator :P

[zdoom45]

hey i'm about to get this for ps3 or pc i'm not sure but do you have to pay to play this game and if i get the pc version can i play with ps3 people and vice versa...just asking

[sambonz]

@zdoom45 unfortunately PS3 and PC players are on separate servers, so no, can't play together.

the game has a monthly subscription fee. in the US it's $14.99/month.

[narutardtedr]

Do you ever use the "Lava armor"? I saw if you use the ice version of what you (In this video) have, five times in a row you get ice armor. Does that work for this?

[sambonz]

@narutardtedr hrm not that I can think of, no. but it may be an ability in the other fire tree (i'm only really specced into Immolation at the moment).

[Hazzardmuzza]

I've been watching your DCUO vids since the beginning, have you tried getting on Machinima Realm?

[sambonz]

@Hazzardmuzza Heya. No? What's it about?

[Hazzardmuzza]

@sambonz It's like Machinima Respawn except it's for RPG's and MMO's

[MultiAwesome123]

@sambonz Really enjoying these. At some point, i am gonna get this when i get the money. And btw, the sound is a bit too quiet in-game for voices. You and combat sounds are ok but the voices in game is a bit too quiet. But either way, really fun

[sambonz]

@MultiAwesome123 Glad you're enjoying them. Yah the sound in DCUO is really messed up at the moment - it keeps changing levels on it's own after cutscenes etc. Hopefully they patch in a fix for this soon.

[MultiAwesome123]

@sambonz Ok, sounds good.
