IGN:DC Universe Online PC Review

It's been almost three weeks since exobytes swooped down on Metropolis and Gotham and gave thousands of regular citizens the ability to shoot eye-beams, summon demons, create explosives out of nothing and generally run amok in DC Universe Online. Sounds fun, right? A lot of the time it is. At its core, DC Universe Online is an action game where you beat up villains, heroes and robots for experience and rewards. There are hundreds of other players doing the same around you, which is where the "massively multiplayer" part kicks in and the problems begin to show up.

Another ignorant review by IGN.

Is anyone else surprised?

Pandamobile5596d ago

How is this an ignorant review?

Seemed perfectly reasonable to me.

AndrewRyan5596d ago

If the game was on 360 it would have scored a 8/10

Ryudo5596d ago

My friend hasn't been able to play the game for 2 weeks since he bought it and there are plenty of other people on the forum with the same issue.

And no it's not his system the support for the PC on this game is horrible. It deserves a 7/10 it's buggy as hell.

evrfighter5596d ago

I Just got done playing it for the night. I got close to 50 hours in it.

there's nothing wrong with the score.

Bolts5596d ago

This game would have reviewed better if SoE waited a bit more to polish the game and fix a lot of the bugs. The chat system for example is completely moronic. Possibly the worst chat ever in the history of MMOs. The fact that they went live with such a horrible chat and a filter that can't be turned off is highly questionable.

It's the Australian review and honestly a 7/10 is good.

TheLeprachaun5596d ago

Especially for an MMO. They rarely get higher than 8 at launch.

Chris3995596d ago

The game has bugs and it won't be for WoW (turn-based MMO disguised as real time vets). Only complete b.s. review I've seen was Giant Bombs.

lelo2play5596d ago (Edited 5596d ago )

Yes, we already know. Every PS3 exclusive deserves a 10.

Sarcasm5596d ago

*sigh*

This is a PC review. Shows how smart you wannabe trolls are.

lelo2play5596d ago (Edited 5596d ago )

oh boy ... *sigh*

In case you don't know, it's on the PS3 as well... so let me correct my statement.

Yes, we already know. Every PS3 exclusive or PS3 console exclusive deserve a 10 (without exception). /Sarcasm

TBM5596d ago

I don't care what reviewers say im buying this game when I get my bills straightened out. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun and that's what I want from an MMO instead of the daily grind the others are.

Rynx5596d ago

It is a lot of fun. I saw this review coming a mile away. I tuned in to this review almost daily and read up on each new page they added. They just weren't impressed at all. Funny thing is that Greg sounded thrilled about it in the podcast just so that it can end up with a 7. Whatever I'm not surprised by this. DCUOnline is my first MMO and I'm enjoying it very much on my PS3.

TBM5596d ago

I find it funny how someone would disagree with me not caring about what reviewers say, and wanted it because it looks like a lot of fun.

Whoever you are your a sad person really

Dread5596d ago

the ignorance is not in the review buddy

If it was on 360 it would be an 8 at least.

iamgoatman5596d ago

*puts on tinfoil hat*

That or MS paid them, amirite!? /s

goosepoose5596d ago

i usually condone ign slander, but when a review actually makes sense, these comments about 8 and the 360 is trolling.

Silly gameAr5596d ago

E specially since the complaints about the score are coming from 360 fanboys, which is kind of weird.

Quagmire5596d ago

I wish instead of an MMo, it was simply an Action RPG with drop-in/drop-out co-op.

The concept is really great, and I wouldve bought it had it not been a monthly paid game.

BLACKBOIJONES5596d ago

Who cares what they say.Just enjoy the game if u bought it.Im sick and tired of this reviews argument.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio26d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing26d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit26d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing26d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
