Speedsters in DC universe is probably closest thing to a licensed flash game
Damn :(
DCUO was my first serious MMO, and I'm still playing it 10 years later. There's such a huge variety of content, and the fact that your character is scaled to over-but-not-god-mode-over the level of content you are playing means there's always a decent challenge in going back and re-running older instances for marks, feats, styles, or just for fun.
Gripes first:
Artifacts as "alternative" progression soon became "needed", as new content is built with these boosts in mind, and they take grind or money to level. In fact most things that take grind can be short-cutted by opening your wallet.
The game is by no means Alt-friendly. Keeping more than one character at cutting-edge endgame is a lot of work.
Time capsules (loot boxes that require special stabilizer keys to open) have all the expected RNG badness. Some Styles are only available from time capsules. There are feats only available for time capsule-related stuff, so be prepared to forgo a growing number of skill points as time goes on if you're not tempted by them.
PvP is practically dead outside of ad-hoc duelling.
The Pros:
Huge variety and scope of content, all free-to-play, with new releases at least twice yearly (each usually made up of new open world area, 1 x solo or duo, 1-2 4-person alerts, 1-2 8-person raids - most with elite and elite+ versions, related gear and style, elite-version gear and style, and secondary gear and style). So much to do.
Fairly solo-player friendly with alternative completion methods to the large open world bosses, and it's not prohibitively hard to get marks playing solo.
Immersive and fun gameplay. The combat system is very dynamic and while there is the usual meta-game for powers / loadouts etc. there's nothing to stop you having fun playing your way.
Character customisation is both immense and limited. Three body types, of three different sizes (the limited bit), but an endless variety mix-and-match styles available from Viking to Robot Cat With Dreadlocks And Devil Wings. Outside of cos-players, I have never seen two characters alike, and there are faithful reproductions of styles for a wide variety of actual DC heroes and villains for the cosplayers.
Generally a blast to play, from levelling to endgame - it's kept me hooked for 10 years now.
Neutral: Switch and XBox have their own individual international servers. PC and PS share crossplay servers, separate ones for the EU and US.
You came at the wrong time. This game was vastly better 7 years ago. If you enjoy it then that's all that matters but I feel sorry you missed an amazing era of this game.
I think he said he played it when it came out
He definitely said this is another character he created
Game is better imo
Supposedly there's gonna be a graphics update somepoint this year
@@jasonhearn5818 hopefully that would be fire
I started playing this again like a week ago awesome to see people still making videos on it
same i started about 2 weeks ago and was suprised with how active the community is for such an old game
@@strohyy lol same here tbh but yet I still don’t get anyone join in on the on duty tab they need to rework that maybe cross all the servers so we can actually play with other people more frequently
Just came back to this game after 8 years. Still good IMO
pretty much in the same boat. :D
I tried to get back into it after 5 years of being gone, but there are so many new and convoluted mechanics. It just killed it for me.
I feel like the new systems are more good than bad, and did improve the overall experience; though it *is* rather overwhelming coming back to it, rather than being a new player. I think I was playing closer to 2012, and just back earlier this year. :P
Devs just stealing money from the players at this point not worth investing time
Not the Dragon Ball characters up in DC online 😂😂😂
Damn.. last time I played this I was still a young unmarried lad with no kids... damn time flies
Dcuo is fr so much fun. I started playing about a year ago and only bought one power.
my favorite thing about this game was the powers. I had made a new character a few years back after Water came out and that has to be my favorite powerset. The thing i dont like about this game was the weapon combat and the lack of movement types. Skimming is just another form of flying but Static Shock flavored. i also remember the era of Weapon combat hugely out dpsing power and i hated playing during then.
They need to update their graphics
super speed was the worst and still is...half time running up a building and hit a corner or something and game totally redirects you to the ground or freezes up. Worst movement power in the game and pretty much impossible to direct and get where want to go unless your turning it on and off which is bad copout.
@@jeffreygifford1015 100% agree. Speed was just playing on a higher difficulty most of the time.
@@TheAbyssro fastest of movement types and was fun if could avoid weird angles on buildings and use jump upgrade at lvl 9 it was doable but man was it huge pain in the ass...especially inside dungeons and tight spaces lmao. Just doing circles in small room like stop you jackass!
This game needs a major update. On graphics and the powers. Be Nices to see better characters designs
Loved this game. All it needs is an update or part 2 for next gen, and some minor takeaways. I think they complicated things later on
Love your commentary an just glad to seeing someone still enjoying this game which will always be one of my favorite action mmorpgs thanx for the content. I started playing with my brother an Now still play with him an my husband just not as much as i use to.
never got into the game because after level 20 or something I forgot, the game was behind pay walls so if you wanted to keep playing new missions you had to pay a subscription. Which I hated. They should have just had cosmetics be the only thing behind pay walls.
Just started watching your videos and you're pretty good UA-camr man keep doing what you're doing cuz you actually made me get back into DC Universe😊😊
Your character actually looks like a green lantern corp member and Batman I liked a lot
I wanted to play DC Universe Online. But at the time there were way too many DLCs.
but right now I think you can get everything for $47.
So I may grab it myself.
All the DLCs are now free, even for f2p accounts. They moved to that model early in 2020 during the lockdown, and kept it as permanent from then on.
i remember playing this game when i was like 12 on the ps3 and had no clue what the hell i was doing. All i knew is that i had lots of fun and loved running on the water
He said he that Green Lantern from Wish. I’m done.😂
I got a whole league of Green Lanterns
As a new player I love the way I can create a personalized character to a good degree without paying anything. its not perfect but better than most.
What I don't like is the difficulty In finding where to go after lvl 30, once the game opens up there it is hard for new players to figure out what to do. is there an order for the content? where do i go for the story?
Otherwise this is my fave free to play game
add me i can help you
@depressedvision5272 will do, what is your character name? Hero or villain? I have a couple of each.
@@Lacerated1DJ3 are you on PlayStation?
@@depressedvision5272 no, pc only #pcmr 😉
Wish they would've kept the advance mechanics feature, the whole having to weave in either light or heavy melee or ranged attacks is honestly stupid
Curly, another good video, , can u ever miss ?💪🏽💯
its so sad they made the episodes free too play SO LATE it really killed the game hard glad to see it still some what alive
Actually i see a lot of people playing it, at least in the US servers PS/pC🤷
Think the Devs killed the game.
I honestly love DCUO but I wish they would do more to make it more accessible to bring in new players. The SP grind this far into the games lifecycle is just insane and needs to be addressed, it's way too many hours spent on something that simply isn't fun, just to have a shot at being competitive in current content. I've played on and off over the years but I always come back every so often lol
I love making characters
My favorite is that the Titans era I love are in the game. Trigon awesome
5:50 that Spawn is dope
I enjoy dcuo. I play on xbox, and there are just too few players to find groups for runs.
The monthly subs earn gear at a rate which removes their need to continue to run new content, in just a few weeks into a new episode...this means there are even less people to run with...ques are wicked long and the game crashes from afk...losing your place in the que when you "log out" from the crash.
This makes it extremely difficult to earn gear as a member. This means there are less geared players to que with in current content...i get bored of waiting and log off, for real this time, or i have to beg and bribe for a group...
Stale and too much downtime with few instance ques...
6:17 (POV) You're a cop
YOO💀
i really with they do an complete overall to todays graphics. it still looks like it came out of a ps3 to me. Warframe, ff14 and Phantasy star online inovated. with dcuo looks like the intro trailer or the same graphics as at least mk11 quality.
Never heard or seen these game before. Looks fun, so Ima try it
You should try City of Heroes Homecoming if you think this is good 😅
Annie Bawdy remember the Bawdy Brigade ?
I used to play this game all the time
LMAO. I was laughing at your comments. Wedgie girl and malnourished Batman and Piccolo 😂
Im just trying it out now ,wish i wouldve gotten in sooner
The game was always fun pve wise Atleast it’s just the community that’s sour Atleast when I played from like 2012-2020
I miss how it was before, so many micro transactions now. Not enough players to do certain raids with.
isn’t the song in the background from DoA ost? can’t find it anymore
One of us. ONE OF US!
Now I wanna play again
Level 16 player: “sees curly naps outfit” howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww😢
Yo curly you gonna try the my hero ultra rumble open beta?
Legendary game
My favorite parts are the styles and lair system.
Id say my complaint actually comes from back then and now. First one was for the longest time combos were trash. I dont know if anyone remebers but it almost did chip damage depending on who you were fighting. But powers were the opposite which was horrible if you choose speedster or gadget. You know the wannabe batmans and flash. Now its a lot more balanced with some excemptions like for some reason high level gadget and speedsters are op. My second is branding. If you're going to use teen titans for example use the version everyone likes. I get its the version of dc that its currently on. I see no robin, starfire is giving out orders for some reason, nightwing is there for some reason. Like its called "teen" titans nightwing is a adult. And at this point so is the rest of them. But hey at least they didnt do go. And dont make special events that are just glorified carnival games. Its a fighting game let me fight either with them or against them make that the event. As far as whats good pretty much everything else.
bruh i forgot about dc universe online fr didn't mean to open the game but here i am
We need a new one this was awesome
Flash gotta let him get away or eles it wouldn't be any fun😂
The flash isn't wearing the suit from the new movie that's just his flash point suit
The game should be picked back up Ik some people will return
He’s purple nightlight
Man DCUO need a graphics upgrade
This game was fun as f way back but that pay wall ruined it for me and alot of people i played this with passed on or dont got time for games nice tragedy😊
I played this game on my channel a while ago it was a cool game
We need DCUO2
Dude my character was the piccolo
Not a malnourished Batman 😂😂😂
So all the powers are free now?
ok tell me. wich one of you clicked for the thumbnail?
The game really just needs to be remade. Calling it a masterpiece is insanely exaggerated.
Also worth noting that the game is extremely pay to win in the most literal sense.
Still no new powers? 🙄
Nope same ol bs as before...
All I can think of is genderbent shego lmao
It was a great game. Really enjoy having my rookie sidekick joining the DC heroes for quests, feeling really like a student in X-men school (does DC have an academy for powered teens?).
Bro left the Naruto content
I played this at the very begining but man the graphics look horrid. I remember I came back after a few years and I tried free instead of paying like before and I got to choose one hero and all my others were not available after that so i lost like four or five characters. I think Light and stuff was pay only so I just uninstalled it.
Day 2 of asking you to Please play spiderman 3 the movie game
Jeezuz, they still milking this game?
They will never release a super man or the flash game as long as they can still make money from this piece of shit micro transactions ffs
Is this game hard for a beginner to learn?
No it’s very easy and a lot of UA-cam tutorials to help
Am glad i played the first 6 years, then i was done. It became f2p, and that was its downfall now is p2w
i fell in love with the customization and combat mechanics set in the dc universe, truly a one of a kind mmorpg experience. I come back to this game from time to time for the old nostalgia
same
I wouldn't say 1 of a kind more like the closest thing to a Live City of Heroes we will likely ever get
My favorite thing about DC Universe has the character customisation but the thing I least like about it is how the game really plays the graphics aren't that good anymore and you can hardly even do any moves I honestly feel like the game should get a sequel and a have the next-gen got qulaty
City of heroes homecoming customization is better
I feel like Champions Online had slightly better customization, and combat, as well as visuals -- comic book-style MMOs definitely benefit from cel-shading, and I think Champions nailed that. But the game's world felt really, disconnected? It didn't seem as alive as DC Universe, and the story was definitely not as cohesive or as compelling.
@@billywashere6965 yea bro
I forgot who but someone stated that DC chose this style to reflect something similar in comics
It’s getting a ps5 Xbox update later this year
I fell in love with this game several years ago. Fell off. Tried to return but the level jumping made it difficult to fall in love with progression and learning the new mechanics. Someone said this game needs a graphic update or a part 2 and I agree!!!!
The game suffers from severe bloat. They just keep compiling mechanics.
I actually basically just started playing this game and i love it!!
Same
For someone like myself whos been playing for a long time Its hard to leave. The game has some sort of effect that makes ppl stay whether they think Its bad or not.
Idk I've played this game a couple of times with different characters but I never stayed long enough for either of them to reach lvl 30
For someone like me who has been playing a long time I can easily say the devs suck the fun out of everything.
Yeah, it's called the sunk-cost fallacy that MMO's thrive on.
lvl 30 is where the game begins lol@@JogVodka
I got this game when it first came out and I still remember the feeling I got when I first flew in the open world. I also remember trying to come up with strategies with the groups trying to beat that one raid with the two robot dude who were hard as hell to beat. The raid was in an ice area and you needed to beat those two dudes in order to get to the next level in the raid. One dude suggested for a tank to pull one of the robot dudes into a hole in the floor and it actually worked! The mic went nuts. Great memories of this game and a ton of money spent on those tokens that allowed you to reset a raid. I think those tokens came out with the Wonder Woman raid/content. Game is awesome.
I believe the raid was Fortress of Solitude 2!
i still play this game i dont care what ppl say i enjoy it.
Really to me its the nostalgia noing i can fly around or look the tall well made citys and that you can explore a lot of different places and there plenty of content to explore and even just hoping on for a couple of minutes is still pretty fun but it still needs some work to it but overall its a fantastic mmo to me. 🙂
I played this game alot when it was on the PS3, although as time passed I grew to dislike it.
Now, we're on PS5, and I realize that I missed out on so much when I stopped playing this game. Been having so much fun grinding this game.
this game is still one of my favorite game an its not pay to win its pay to get extra characters a base hell for $5 dollars spent i remember they give you alot of extra stuff at least 10 years ago its all unlocked if you pay for a prescription if you really like the game the sub not that much i still play this game an have since i 1st came out.
imo DCUO is most definitely nothing at all like a "masterpiece". The combat is janky garbage, the animations are akin to a cheaply made Kickstarter game, the overall graphical fidelity is almost as bad as WoW's, _aaaand_ ever since they introduced lootboxes the whole game has become a nightmarish hellscape of shameless cashgrabs, and this is all coming from someone who has played for years.
imo you shouldnt do it the game is a cashgrab the devs havent added a new power in ages they also let pvp die and did nothing to make it eaiser for newer players to get pvp gear 5v5 chat is dead pve is boring my cousin loves to play only because i let him use my account if his lil dumb ass had to start over he would quit
DC Universe online is such a sick game! I use to play it a lot when I was a kid, and I recently started playing it again.
My only gripe about it is that it's waaaaay too grindy if you want the cool gear without having to pay, definitely a P2W game
I got to 413cr without paying money to get gear or sp I have been playing in and out 11yrs I came back from a 2yr break and have been of fire with cr sp and gear/feats/styles. It is grindy BUT you can do it free now that's y I came back to dcuo last year 🎉😊
All mmo are grindy
@@slowmojo9355 You missed the part where I said it's too grindy if you want to get specific gear without paying. Obviously all MMO are grindy, but when you have to spend a month grinding just for boots then it's definitely the game being far too grindy.
@@dylan_was_taken you can get all gear sets for free with in game currency at this point, the time capsule gear isn’t better than the current dlc gear and is only there for the style if you want it but if you collect your daily rewards you can buy a stabilizer to open one from dr fate every thursday on top of the free ones you get, or just buy it from the broker, the game is not P2W, just pay to advance quicker but even then you can still advance everything for free, grind heavy yes, all mmo games are but P2W it isn’t
@@h-mboydgaming8844 Except it would still take you a month to be able to get anything from Dr Fate even with the daily rewards, because you only get one a day.
DCUO was my childhood game back when I was a DC fanboy. As a kid this was one of the best games to like if your into a MMO DC game. Otherwise this game balancing when it came to powers and etc. were not that good imo, but I feel like that something I worry about when I play video games when I'm older. Besides that, I had fun playing with superheroes, doing missions, and collecting styles. It made me feel like I was part of teen titans or young justice in a way.
Wizard101 is my nostalgia game.
i love this game but wat i dont like is that its not fair like u need millions of damage to beat these bosses 🤕
I liked this game but didn’t enjoy this pay wall behind skill/ability/story parts
I swear every couple of months there's a different UA-camr, with the same generic title to there vids about this game.
DCUO was good back then, it's definitely NOT good now. I don't know why people still defend the game and the extremely boing terrible Devs lol.
My favorite is that you can be you favorite dc hero
What I don't like is when u hit anything if feel like your hitting a backpack with nothing in it and none of the special really do any damage
Yep, and it's felt that way since the beginning. Meanwhile enemies send you flying all over the place and constantly lock you down.
Yea what’s up with Marvel they missing a bag. Because I definitely would love them to do a marvel version of Dc universe
Is it worth my time if im just there to enjoy a pve mmorpg with my friend or solo
I tried playing this game a week or so and it wouldn't even let me move at all
"12 Years Later And DC Universe Online Is Still A Masterpiece"
It's a piece of something, but a masterpiece aint it.
I don’t like it that on online games not just DC universe that they’re making things like bosses and stuff or it takes 4 to 5 different players to beat the boss. It makes it hard for solo players. I believe that most places that make online games should at least put a scaling on the boss, so it doesn’t affect solo gameplay because some people don’t got teammates to rely on
As i literally start watching you , you upload. I love it here
BRO WHEN ARE WE GETTING THE GRAFICS UPDATE????
Bro add me on that game
