Extending the DC Universe Online beta to more gamers should have been a boon to the new MMO . Some beta testers recall their experiences with heightened excitement while others make disparaging remarks about a game that has not been released to the public yet. Instead of spending time trying to improve the game, people are spreading premature criticism. Why not spend more time on the beta forums and less time putting down a property that is not done yet?

* Episode 46 is Justice League Dark Cursed
* PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X launch this holiday season
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. "
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."
I always try to give games the benefit of the doubt in beta, but I have rarely seen large strides made from beta to release.
Probably because Activision treats beta as demo. Remember the COD4 "beta" that happened to be exclusive to a certain console.
Its a common fact that a majority of "beta" testers are either too young, thus they get a beta purely to say "ha i got the game early" or they dont understand the term "beta" so they criticize without actually helping. A majority of gamers probably fill both categories.
I remember the R2 beta, it actually had alot of good criticisim and Insomniac improved it a lot between stages. Sure the random idiots ran about bashing it, but it had tons of people on the official forums helping improve it.
im loving it.
just hate seeing LVL 20 players picking on players that are LVL 10 and below .
This was a good read, I have a few ppl on my friends list who have certain posted comments on their gamecard like " DCU sucks" or "DCU unplayable" . Then again their on COD:BO religiously regardless of the migrating host and disconnects , loving every second of it. Go figure .
I'm definitely getting DCU , regardless of opinions . Since I'm a comic fan I want to try it to form my own opinion . how long will I support it? depends on the updating content.
off-topic - I hope there is a difficult trophy set for it , to keep me interested if everything fails.
