Zero Punctuation excoraited DCU

SNAFUdamusSNAFUdamus Member UncommonPosts: 59

And rightfully so frankly. These spoonfed/easy mode MMOs are a baine on the genre. If this was any plane old super hero MMO and didn't have the DC in front of the name it would have been 100X worse than the ultimate failure it already is.

    Yahtzee ripping apart an MMO? Unthinkable!

    It's not that he's really against MMO's or Multiplayer, It's just that so often their shallowly done, being an mmo is no excuse for repetitive mindless content, you think you can get away with it because others have.

    Wow! Very well said and completely correct.

    WoW took things players liked in 'other' MMOs and improved it. They also took things players didn't like and either removed or improved them. Too many companies these days either fail to or forget about the 'improve' part of that and instead go for 'emulate'.

    As far as I am concerned the combat, environment, and Ip conviction underpinning DCUO is better than any other mmo and most single player games. It is quite legitimate to criticise the game for things it didn't do or has still to do, more content and more non combat activities but in several areas DCUO does improve markedly on what else is out there....after the unimaginitive messes of Champions Online, Aion, STO, Rift DCUO comes across as one of the only recent release that has any real right to justify its existence imo.

    Like most Yahtzee reviews, there's a core truth to what he says, just exaggerated for comedic effect.  I think he was too hard on DCUO, but many of his criticism are sound.

    Dear OP,

    You are the first person in a long time to force me to Google a word definition.

    Thank you.

    If I want brutal honesty about a game, I watch zero punctuation, he's usually right even if he exaggerates a bit.

    Usually if he complains about something that would also piss you off, that's a sign that the game is bad. Just remember to take it with a grain of salt.

    The few times I've listened to one of these reviews I spend half the time trying to figure out what the fuck he said because the recording has been sped up.  The minor bits of humor I have heard isn't worth the hassle of trying to interpret what he's saying.

     Sounds like a problem on your end rather than his. There's absolutely no difficulty whatsoever in making out what he's saying, unless English isn't your main language possibly.

    I like the guys reviews, they usually make me laugh, this one was bad tho.

    It was just hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate and more hate the whole way through.

    I love DCUO, its fun as hell, it has its problems and im not sure ill continue my sub but i dont feel ive wasted any money on it at all.
