It’s nearly been a month since the launch of DC Universe Online, and as the last of the free thirty days of play time begin to dry up, we look back at how the game has been been received, how it has changed, and what lies ahead.
If you do not read this whole update, here's what you need to know:
* 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 wonder how many that will continue there subscription
Wonder if there will be a proper expansion for DCUO, or just these monthly updates?
Seems to be doing pretty well so far, hopefully it keeps on rolling.
They mention for months now that there will be big expansions every 3 months for the game.
@Colossal_Red All the things that come with the update this month and it doesn't warrant a price tag? What do you want in the update cause the next update puts alot of new content in the game.
When even veteran critics/review sites are going 'wtf' at the hater reviews, you know something's up. IGN's second look was also very positive.
Game is good. It's not trying to be console or PC GOTY, it's doing its own unique thing and that seems to have offended a lot of people who aren't used to something not fitting into their safe, tidy liitle package of what a game should be.
"Omg it has a subscription, isn't on XBox, doesn't fight like GOW/Bayonetta, doesn't require grinding and can't be reviewed in one sitting"...-3 points. -4 cuz it's DC and not Marvel, -5 cuz it's an MMO and can't be traded in for a whole $5 at EB. All nitpicky borderline irrelevant critiques I've actually read from meta' sites.
The same people complaining about the subscription on these sites already most likely subscribe to XBL, Netflix, PS Plus and are probably 1st in line to buy the $15 COD map packs against their better judgment. So what's the difference? Do as I say, not as I do, I guess lol.
