Two weeks ago I got DCUO as an early birthday gift, and decided to share some of the experiences I've encountered during these two weeks, and what you can expect from playing DCUO. First of all it is important that you do not play on a standard tv the text is too small, and bringing up the big chat window still cuts off text. In two days it's easy to get up to level 15, after that things get a little harder, but you are still able to do things on your own. Missions are given to you by more than one person in the Justice League(Or Hall of Doom for villains), and then you complete a quest head to the next area, and you do this for about 3 times, during one mission, and then fight the boss, which isn't bad, just more variety of missions would be great.
People are friendly in DCOU, I've had people help with missions I couldn't complete by myself, and I've helped people more than once beat bosses. I've had trouble getting into the arena, and legends PVP, and I've only done them once each. The game really starts at the end, because when you hit level 30 you get access to raids, and duos, and then when you do the dailies you get more reknown for different factions. PVP is a love/hate thing for me, I like getting in a group of people, and taking down level 30 villains, but it can be frustrating when doing a mission, and villains are ganking the mission area, but I just switch characters when that happens.I've had a few interesting chats on the chat, and you can expect to have some too, I can guarantee if you play on the Killing Joke server that there are interesting people on there. I'll tell you two examples. The first person I had seen on the chat that was interesting was a hero by the name of analbag, he was asking people if there were "any serious butt players," I didn't see his name so, I thought he meant people who take the game seriously, and kick butt. I asked him what he meant, and he told me "serious butt players," I told him he should not ask that here, but on GameFaqs, because I thought he was joking, he told he found my name funny with it having Ass(hero's name is SilentAssassin) in it twice, and I told him I was joking, because I thought he was joking. Second one was people on the trade channel tend to say what they want, need, or have twice, by repeating, sometimes they do it three times. Someone named their hero Christopher Nolan, and I told him jokingly he should be working on the Dark Knight Rises, and then a bunch of us started talking about it, and someone got mad that we were talking about a Batman movie on a DC game.
If you have any questions about DCUO I can do my best to answer them, or there's a thread for asking for help on DCUO on the forums.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q2 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming business.
They are the only company keeping PS5 alive - you better hope they don’t die!
Ironically, it's PlayStation that's saving xbox, they're the only ones buying the games.
yes, cause 18 million PS5s sold last year because of xbox's games... meanwhile xbox sold 2.5 million for the year...
Bro, why do you need to make alt-accounts to troll? Maybe if you play a PS5, you'll magically grow a pair.
Pretty surprising on revenue and content being down. Obviously hardware being down is expected, but you'd think that the GamePass price hike, CoD, and things such horizon 5 coming to PS5 would drive things up. No wonder MS is all-in on the multiplat strategy, don't really have choice at this point. There might be another GP price hike this year.
COD is likely the issue. It appears BO7 is doing significantly worse than BO6. Game Pass is apparently growing, so the problem isn't there.
Game Pass growing... that's not what I hear, I hear that it shed around 30% of it's Ultimate subscribers after the price hike as well people canceling other tiers. And you just reported services were down which would indicate the exact opposite.
@Varora: What you "hear" (from your uncle who works at Nintendo?) is irrelevant when the CFO of Microsoft says the opposite in the conference call.
Incidentally, "content and services" are down, not just services, which include Call of Duty. If you don't know how to interpret financials, don't try 😂
Edit: Oh wait... another troll account made 46 minutes ago. I really need to learn to check before engaging. 😂
Well, certainly no one should question the honesty of a Microsoft executive...
But, I heard that between people downgrading and canceling it was as much as 30%.
And even though they raised the price of Game Pass Ultimate by 50% and an average increase across all tiers of 38% which of course grew subscribers so, you would think it should have made significantly more money, but you know who am I to argue its not simply CoD, it did massively under perform.
The good news is that Microsoft's consolidation of the industry really seems to be paying off for them, the industry and its former employees.
Wonder how the goalposts will be moved this time, it shifted from exclusives and console sales, to revenue, where now then.
No goal post. It was down last January also. Amy Hood predicted this was gonna happen. You gave us and downs, that's simply how it works.
There is no incentive to buy into a closed ecosystem with no exclusives. I wish they would just make windows lite or steam os bootable on the Xbox so long time fans who still own the console can get some enjoyment.
And Microsoft wants to release another super expensive console next gen? Bizzaro world economics over there. Phillip Bartholomew Spencer will be promoted on the strength of these loses. Lol
Their next console has to be released. I could only imagine how much R&D they've already put into their next platform.
Koei Tecmo has today released an overview trailer of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE. As part of this, it's announced a few extra things.
Before it launches on the Switch 2 on 12th March, players can expect a demo on 5th March. There are no details about the demo just yet, but it will allow save data to be carried over to the full game.
There will also be a special collaboration with Silent Hill f. This will include a free costume available as DLC.
I really appreciate that almost every game has a demo now before release. I hope Silent Hill F will be next to port on Switch 2.
Silent hill F was ok, its story was a bit nonsensical, and at a lot of points it just throws a heap of enemies at you for what seems like padding, hopefully the DLC will be better
4ScarrsGaming reviews Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked on VR, focusing on its tabletop combat and progression.
PVP needs tweaking in my opinion. everyone just blocks and rolls when they are close to death which makes them invincible then they just switch to travel mode and run off.
it completely breaks down PVP.
