EG writes: "As the first MMO to attempt to bridge the gap between console and PC since Final Fantasy XI in 2002 – and the first to ever do so simultaneously at launch – DC Universe Online raises a lot of questions. Will the PC game be limited by the necessity of designing around a controller? Are PS3 owners willing to embrace a subscription model?"
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."
Give them a read. This review is well off the mark. Most MMOs don't come into their own for a year anyhow. It had a great launch and so long as it keeps most of that momentum, we (DCUO players) will be in for a real treat these next few months.
Eurogamer has never been one of those places I would go to for reviews or news. They tend to have really bad taste in games. I don't believe that MMO should have the same reviewing times as normal games. MMO games are a lot more complex and need that time to come in there own. You can only do so much in beta's for MMO games. I think somebody is just trying to get hits if you ask me.
To bad... like it or not, at this moment no MMO can compete with WOW.
I guess we have to wait for Bioware's Star Wars to see if it can dethrone WOW... or Blizzard's new MMO (is it World of Starcraft ???).
MS bought em, they buy everyone on the planet. 6? whatever this is a conspiracy this game should be a 1,000,000 because it's on the PS3. /s
mmo's should never be bought at launch, give it 4 or 5 months at least, that way, they iron out the kinks.
Pc versions already down to 45 bucks, 4 months from now it will be $20 and you'll get to play a better game
and no, star wars mmo will not even come close to wow's 14 million subscribers, neither will this game, or any other until blizzard makes a new mmo.
This game is a distraction, nothing more, it will be a footnote in mmo history
At least they finally brought an mmo to console and I commend sony for having the balls to allow it, microsoft is such a joke, they really need to make a new console or stop acting as though they are current gen, the ps3 is still pushing some sweet ass tech, while the 360 is just sad.
