SOE Promises Monthly Updates for DC Universe Online

Following the announcement of an official release date and pricing system for the forthcoming DC Universe Online, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has made a promise that many fans of both DC and Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) will be hoping they stick to – and most likely respond very angrily if they don’t.

lol at the title of the article,..

OF COURSE there will be monthly updates,.. we will be paying a monthly fee,..they will probably even expand there staff to ensure customer happiness,.. or drop-off would be imminent,..

nickjkl5622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

of course there will be updates its an mmo whats an mmo with out updates

although i think the point of this article is to point out that the updates are monthly

alsoo DAT POISON IVY

Baka-akaB5622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

why of course ? most mmos even with subs dont have content added every months .

At best patches and fixes , and not even always on a monthly basis

arragionthegreat5622d ago

that maybe true in many cases,.. but that is why they die out,.. or get free to play,.. Content must always be added,.. or interest goes down the toilet

Baka-akaB5622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

that's not the point . Content is always added but rarely on a monthly basis .

Blizzard adds lots of contents quite often (and CoH too from what i remember ) , but hardly on a monthly basis . The rest are fixes and balance patches .

Just pointing out that what some are seeing as obvious and standard , actually hasnt always been .

nickjkl5622d ago

uhhh so now free to play games are games that are rarely updated

Baka-akaB5622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

Again how about properly reading the post .

USUALLY mmos of whatever kind , DONT add NEW CONTENT on a MONTHLY basis .

Unless you can deliver some kind of big list of mmos that actually get new QUESTs , new LANDS , new EVENTS , new RAIDS , new NPCS , new ARMORs and ITEMS , EVERY MONTHS , please stop .

some do it , but that's it , only a few . The rest mostly releases fixes , then in between patches , new content

DOS has a hit on its hands. It is good to hear they plan to stay committed to the game world they've created. Those are some VERY frequent updates.

DirtyLary5622d ago

We will see. This game does need PVE content. Without the PVP I would be bored to death. PVP combat is where this game shines. All you carebears on the PVE sever come over to the PVP, you'll learn a thing or two.

ZombieStalker5622d ago

I agree PVP is great, but they need to control who can attack who. I was playing several weeks ago (before the recent large patches) and there were a handful of players just running around attacking everyone. It was frustrating being a level 5 or 6 and being attacked by a level 8 or 9 with no chance in hell of actually wining. Then I had 2 or 3 level 8s or 9s attacking my level 5 or 6, it became frustrating as hell very quickly. At that point I logged off and back on several hours later and had some excellent PVP moments...with characters that were similar in level.

Xusuyzus5622d ago

they need to add a second bar
or at least in battle activation of the attack-defense stance changes,..because some PC guys are crying like mofos ,..

I think it is perfectly designed the way it is,..with 8 slots in mind,.. so you have to choose what you take into the battle,..

also they improved gui in the latest build for us PS3 folk,.. but it is slower now,..and overall game is a bit more laggy,.at least almost eliminated crashes (in gotham) they have a lot of work ahead of them,..

DirtyLary5622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

I think it works the way it is. Having to many skills turns the game into a mindless spamfest of who runs out of mana 1st ( see wow).

Right now the combat is perfect, with all the block breakers, stuns, super stuns, ect the game has alot of strategy, people just need to understand how it all works. Right now they are coming into this game with the warcraft mentality, you got to let that go.

Check out this video for a primer on how the combat works

Xusuyzus5622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

Totally agree with you,.. It would be a spam-fest and totally destroy the core gaming mechanics and gameplay. LOL ,. it gets to hectic as it is sometimes,..

ZombieStalker5622d ago

Just look at MAG and how many fixes and updates they have provided for that game! And MAG is not a MMO. I think Sony will stick to their plans with monthly episodes.

The key will be updates that benefit all character levels. It is great to create content for the gamers who grind (high level characters), but for casual players, content is key for them as well.

MMOs In 2021 Retrospective: Console Edition

WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "

Best Superhero Video Games Available Right Now

From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
