About: DC Universe Online (DCUO) Review

About: "While Superman has his weakness (allergy?) to Kryptonite, and Lex Luther sports an Earth threatening ego it is exactly those tragic shortcomings that allow us not only to relate, but to see them in incredible stories. "DC Universe Online" (DCUO) gives us a chance to play with those stories, to fight along side Wonder Woman, to fight as Batman, to rescue Harley Quinn from the wicked clutches of Robin (really) and to create new stories based on super-beings of our making. While no super-powered being is perfect, neither is any game, "DCUO" included, but a casual MMO that caters to participatory culture? Sign me up!"

Great score and I hope nothing but Success for this game because it deserves it.

alien6264995d ago

this is an awesome game i keep playing all the way to late night and going to sleep late because of this game lol no game has done that since GTA:SA

Raf1k14995d ago (Edited 4995d ago )

I'm seriously thinking about buying this since I'm bored of WoW even with Cataclysm.

edit: @DEADEND, I've got a bit of a backlog of games that I've been wanting to play and this years lineup of games is just going to make that even bigger. I'll pick this up once my mates are done with their final year at uni so we can all play together. The game looks great though so should be a blast.

DEADEND4995d ago

You should get it they need more people online and it deserve the sells. I'll be getting it sometime next month.

Brixxer6004995d ago

I would play it if could get it , knew i should've pre-ordered.

Pain4995d ago (Edited 4995d ago )

I got my copy and my Brothers at Walmart first day 1 hour after the store opened.

try them i always have luck getting any game there then game only store.. err. if your NA side that is ^^

Masterchef20074995d ago

i am still in a debate with myself as whether to get this game or not. But the best option is to wait and see how they deal with updates.

Saryk4995d ago

Wait to get the game. Servers are down constanly and game is real laggy in popular spots. PVP is a mess. But the game is freaking fun even with the problems. But I recommend you wait to get it, another month.

P_Bomb4995d ago (Edited 4995d ago )

Nah. Get it now.

Servers were down a bit on Sunday but that was on purpose so they could increase the server capacity to let more players on. Decrease queues and High/Full servers. I still managed to go from level 17 to 22 by marathoning in about 3 different sessions yesterday. They're not down constantly if I can get to 22 on one guy and 11 on another in less than a week.

Sometimes if you just wait an extra few seconds for everything/everyone to fully load in a new area, it can help a lot with lag. Coming into a new area (cop station) with 50 people and going straight to your UI will lag a bit because everything is trying to stream in. It's not 8 VS 8 COD lag, it's a hundred people in a couple open worlds simultaneously (each server has its own Gotham and Metropolis to go back and forth between).

MMOs In 2021 Retrospective: Console Edition

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. "

Best Superhero Video Games Available Right Now

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."
