GB:DC Universe Online is not without ambition, but its action-oriented combat and quest design are positively monotonous.
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."
WOW...
Edit: Quote - "Overall, DC Universe Online feels like a PC game that was hastily thrown onto the PlayStation 3 without properly adapting it to the console. With the PC version offering better graphical performance for a cheaper price, it would be the version I would recommend, if I were willing to recommend it at all. But the game's combat feels limp, the quest design is immediately monotonous, and the whole package manages to make being a superhero or villain feel like the most mundane thing in the world. Considering the game's "everyone's a hero/villain" plot, I suppose that makes perfect sense"
I bought this and initially loved it, for a console MMO it's great. For an MMO in general it's so much more fun. But I do agree with them in that Quest Design repeats a pattern over and over, and when you get to a boss battle it's not rewarding like it would be in other MMOs.
The recovering factor for me, is the PvP, it's really well done. You can fight anywhere and you have a sense of danger in the city, OR you can fight in designated arenas, OR you can fight with DC characters. PvP is going to go from strength to strength you can definitely tell that.
It's still for me too early to judge with a solid score (4/10 or 2/5 is rather harsh), I think that I might be renewing my subscription and maybe make another character or two. :)
A.) Being on the PS3
B.) Not being WoW
For a launch day game it's incredible, the basic systems are fun (movement, exploration, COMBAT) and they can always add more content (though there is a tonne there, and the reviewer barely delved into any of it).
Meh to this review anyhow. The public have given a general "meh" to the opinion of "journalists" too, as the game is sold out everywhere.
only one bad score... who cares, idiots are always around the corner.
LOL Hater will Hate.. i love this game I just wish they would Let PS3 Play with PC Players
