DC Universe Online Review

Dealspwn writes: "A mixed experience then. An excellent and varied character creation system, supported by lots of missions and a community that is currently very welcoming to new players. But there are plenty of tiresome glitches (admittedly fixable), the menus will drive you nuts and there’s the matter of the monthly fees, a new boundary to PS3 players. With so many games offering an online experience for free, it’s hard to justify a monthly fee, especially as we can cruelly boil down the experience to pressing the Square button with some strangers in some well-stitched home-made PVC outfits. It’s definitely worth a go if you’ve got an interest in DC or MMORPGs, but it heavily depends on you being able to form strong alliances with other players to enjoy the game regularly and justify the costs."

They really mean they are pivoting to slot machines on mobile devices.

I don’t think there ever was a time for GaaS. Its entire resistance is revolved around making a game that generates recurring revenue constantly throughout its lifetime. It’s straight up a corporate scumbag design.

I watched the video seeing if anything changed since the initial Suicide gameplay vid before the delay and it looks the same. So weird watching all the characters just start a gun to their back and bounce super high shooting with no kick-back animation in an empty dead world. The voice acting is cringe and there doesn’t have any sense of atmosphere or immersion like the Arkham games.

And they expect you to pay $70 to $100 for this and then pay more for Battle Passes and items to make grinding less a chore. Yea, no thank you. I hope you learn a hard lesson with this one.

Genius executives at work. "hey, what we're doing is working great. Let's change it."

"Invasions" is technically free live service game with new content every 45 days. It's the best mode MK has ever had IMO. As a single player gamer, it gives me a reason to stick around after the story mode.

You have a terrible taste in games

-Foxtrot935d ago

I feel like their whole approach relies on how the Suicide Squad sells

Oh great, looking forward to the sh*t future of gaming. Thanks industry!

New mk sold less then the last in the same time frame the NEW MK is legit a live service game with its horrible monopoly board. I just wanted a normal title...

FatalityX77936d ago

It's not on older hardware, so that's why it seems less. No ps4/xbox one versions.

Sgt_Slaughter936d ago

I doubt older hardware would make a difference, given the ratios of sales of other multi-gen games

PunksOnN4G935d ago

Nah the new MK full of live service shit even the singleplayer monopoly board they gave use instead of a normal kyrpt says enough and sales reflect that also this MK is very combo heavy it not noob friendly what's so ever like others

Flewid638935d ago

Wasn't the last one a live service game?

MehmetAlperTR935d ago

More live services.. LOL.. i hope you ll see the deep.
