Zero Punctuation: DC Universe Online

[NLP8786]

Hmmm. seems that the floods are stoping him so he's use the intrenet games

I think he should play supermeatboy...

After playing the beta I agree with every single thing said in this video.

I thought it had been proven that you can't kill someone by dropping a penny on them from a high place as the penny's terminal velocity isn't fast enough to do much damage.

Yea Mith Busters had an episode on this mith.

It's just a funny thing to say...even if he were aware of the Mythbusters episode, I doubt it would stop him using the gag. 95% of the world think it's true and don't particularly care that it isn't.

I always wanted to play City of Heroes. The idea of creating my own superhero always seemed fun.
But I wouldn't touch DC universe with a barge poll.

 

[Wulfclaw]

Calling Wonder Woman a whore is maybe just a little harsh? I mean i for everything she stands and was created for this seems like a slap in the face.

Yes, this is ZP, i know, but even hateranter (is that even a word?) should have a border they don't cross _somewhere_.

Just saying.

Yahtzee likes Preacher. Nice! One of my favourite comics.

 

[WildFire15]

It's amazing to think that City of Heroes is still so highly considered after 7 years living in WoW's shadow. I've been playing it for 4 years (with a year long break over a year ago) and still really enjoy it

 

[Sylveria]

Really a terrible game. Other than being pretty and some mildly interesting combat, assuming you never played GoW, DMC, Bayonetta, etc, it has no redeeming qualities at all. CO and COH/V are both vastly superior in all meaningful areas.

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

The Power Girl poster in the room of the fat nerd was a nice touch.

 

[dkyros]

why is anyone even trying to make mmo's anymore? whats the point?

My sentiments exactly. I feel sorry for anyone that is going to pay to have their lives slowly sucked away. I actually can't believe that Yahtzee was willing to subject himself to another MMO after just recently playing WOW for the second time. One MMO that I would like to see reviewed however is the FFXIV MMO. Apparently its soo bad that they are letting players stay on for free until the Dev team under new management 'fixes' the game.

 

[CatmanStu]

First Cataclysm, now DCUO; has Yahtzee done something heinous to deserve such punishment?

Still, can't wait for the Old Republic revue as the only target easier than comic nerds is sci fi nerds, with Star Wars being the easiest of those. That 'critique' will be brutal.

 

[Woodsey]

It still seems weird to me that this game requires a monthly subscription fee to maintain.

Server costs, and I believe they're releasing new content every month.

 

[UnderCoverGuest]

This is the problem with most MMORPG's, they are all virtually the same. Create character, grind levels, reach the end game content, pwn it, wait for expansion, create alts, rinse, repeat.

That's true, but that's also more the 'design' flaw, not really the 'game' flaw. MMORPG's are more like social interaction mediums--it's not entirely about grinding to level 50 or what not, it's about grinding to the highest level along side some of your friends.

FPS games are interaction in a very impersonal "I'mma blow you up with this rocket launcher" sort of way, but more and more FPS games are incorporating similar RPG style elements, with customizable features, perks, etcetera. But the gameplay is focused on the shooting bits more than the community bits, which holds it together, and makes players rely on their own skill rather than the numbers they can present to their opponent.

MMORPGS are interaction on a more interpersonal level, in that you adventure side by side with someone, playing a game that's admittedly all about the numbers, but it's still fun because you're doing it together, challenging the adversity offered by that super villain or ogre or whatnot. The game is just numbers, but the people are the heart and soul of MMORPGS.

After all, everyone knows MMORPGS don't have a soul of their own, that's why they creep in to your house, fangs bared as they raise their black cape and slowly approach...your wallet to take another $15 out of it until the next month rolls by.

 

[Stewie Plisken]

Been playing DCUO since launch. Love it, despite a number of irritating issues that pop up. And yes, I am a fan.

Lovely review regardless.

 

[jonyboy13]

AH! He said MUMORPUGER!
Well that was one funny vid, hope for more MMO reviews

 

[Darks63]

Was pretty sure he would can this given thats its a multi with little to no in depth single player.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Snip

Ok Yahtzee, you have admitted you are/were a comic book fan, what are your favorite comics then?
