CO's atmosphere is a lot more varied, and you actually feel like a superhero instead of a D-lister filling while the JLA go have a vacation.
Anyway, I beat the sumbitch. Though the way (still involving luck) it was beaten does highlight another huge problem the game has: DCUO *hates* melee characters with a passion, with the damage you start receiving increasin exponentially when you go melee, and then you have effects like what Captain Cold and Heatwave have which are impossible to avoid in melee. Similar loathing for ground pounders in this fight, as anyone who could shoot while flying high was safe and sound 9 times outta 10. But what really made me feel
was when the veteran player who had led our group up until the final boss fight was about to give up (after the Rogues you fight Gorilla Grodd, who can be really hard), but I insisted we try one more time, this time with me making the battleplan. It was really an application of simple tactics of pulling the enemies to a location where we could engage them out of Grodd's artillery move range and hold our formation there, and voila end result was Grodd curbstomped. A much better fight, with an actual challenge in that you could beat it by simply thinking instead of going back to gearing.
Leveling and gearing a single character in DCUO is a lot more of a chore than in CO too. And not having your costume pieces unlock for all your characters will leave your butt sore (though it also bears mention DCUO costume pieces look like shit compared to CO, it's mostly over-detailed armour pieces). Still, it's a fun game for teaming due to having more team content, but it isn't good for RPing with bros as the UI is total shit and you don't really get much sense of uniqueness to your character. The big names of DC have from decent to great voice acting (read: Mark Hamill reigns supreme in the game's cast).
You know what's really funny though? Using Doomsday Punt-Kick (tm) in the Smallville Alert. It makes LexCorp scientists fly so hilariously far.
We still haven't made final decisions for our League name btw, and I don't see any of you fags online. Ever. >:C
