    I'd heard this game was not worth playing during release, but I'm sad to hear it never got better.
    Revoking lifetime subscriptions for inactivity is incredibly bad behavior for any game, and should be a bigger scandal in the gaming community.

      Letting inactive players keep their lifetime subscription would be stupid for any business that hands out monthly rewards to subscribers.
      Because the monthly rewards are trade-able.

    Been playing off and on since 2012, and started back recently after a 2 1/2 year break. I was actually shocked to find out that I could actually play for free and still access all content, all in-game cash, no more equipment repair, and the ability to replay all but the latest 3 dlcs on-duty content without replay badges. I also like the new look of the on-duty menu , and daily rewards.

    As someone who started playing DCUO only a few months ago, it's interesting to see a veterans take on the game.
    Can't say that I did not invest any money into the game, I really wanted to be a green lantern, so I got myself some ingame currency and the superpower, but except that I did actually pay nothing and i'm having fun playing this game.
    But that is propably not because of the game, but because I've started to play it with a bunch of friends. We play small sessions byweekly, so we had our time to slowly get to level 30 and enjoy the storylines until then.
    After level 30 the grind really started for us and we are already debating about when we will stop playing.
    I'd say it's a fun game concept and when you have some friends who like to play old MMOs together, it is a game you might wanna try, but really getting into it and paying money on a regular basis seems like something you should avoid at all cost.

    You know what, maybe I'm the only one, but I look in this game in different perspective. I don't waste money, I literally do free to play, that means, I don't pay anything, but upgrade my character slowly and patently because in that way the game for me is so satisfying if that make any sense😅for example I have a goal to get more nth metal to charge one level of artifact, that means I use nth detector that I get free and I play the game as much as I want everyday, no need lots of hours, just 1 hour that's all and then when I get all the nth metal, then I waiting to get more Source Marks for the catalyst and then the soul of preservation and when I'm done with all of that I feel satisfied I completed my goal. If you believe me or not, if I pay to upgrade my artifacts, I will feel disappointed with myself and will become instantly boring, honestly maybe this is just me, but depends of how you look into this game and maybe its a good thing to practice your patience... Just like the name Daybreak says, I using that name for my purpose in this game😂Before this daily rewards this was a problem you are right, that time you had no choice but to buy Seal of Complition, but now I love this.

    It’s only a scam if you have no self control. From the beginning I’ve only paid for subscriptions and my main’s CR is 429 and SP is like 640-odd. How? Grinding. I didn’t spend money to get it immediately. I didn’t let greed and the fear that someone might get it first effect my judgement. I played the game. If people would stop focusing on dropping as much money as possible to get everything within the first month the content comes out then maybe you’d enjoy the game and not see it as a scam. Things are actually much better now than they were when you first started. Free players have full access to their in-game cash, the ability to play all in-game content that gives source marks and matches their level, the ability to do all except the most recent queues without replay badges, gear no longer needs to be repaired.
    Are there flaws? Of course. Does the business end of the video game sometimes take advantage of the whales with no self control? Sure, it’s a business and all businesses do that.
    But me and my friends that still play it, still love it, and are still in our league are here for the fun. Not to be overpowered gods that throw away real life money on a game. An annual subscription payment and we are good. Your video should be trying to teach people that it is possible to play the game without having your card in your hand.
    Also, the reason pvp is so broken and dead is because of the emo idiots that take it too seriously. I’d say the hackers but we both know that’s not what has broken pvp. What broke pvp is what used to be friendly competition in the ‘10s has now in the ‘20s turned into people spamming chat crying about how they lost and sending hateful messages to the people that beat them and even sending tells. Sure there’s no profit in fixing pvp but even if it did get fixed there are more people than you might think who will never return to pvp because of the toxic players. It’s not the devs that ruined pvp, it’s the players.

    I have been free to play from the start and I have so many accounts I have to write them down to remember all of them. The most I ever paid in this game is the 30 something bucks for the powers pack (which only works on one account to my dismay) and that was through my steam account which is money I got from gift cards. You can spend just five bucks and you can get 6 character slots and access to all your in-game money instead the $50,000 cap. We also have easier access to styles that you had to buy in boxes at the Doctor Fate vender as well as others in the House of Legends. PvP was never my thing, as long as they come out with gear styles, I will just keep making new characters which always keeps me busy. You complained about the graphics, but the game always runs smooth for me, and I know I probably couldn't run a higher graphic intensive game on my PC. I don't play this game for the money or how strong I can get; I play it because I enjoy flying over the cities and just being a hero.

    Describing isn’t a scam it’s not hidden anybody playing the game and paying for replays knows that’s what’s going on which in completely deflates a claim that it’s a scam scams are usually hidden from the people that are being scammed. They’re usually not clear they’re not obvious and they’re not repeated on the same people, but here you have a game doing the same as every other long live game does and you’re claiming it’s a scam as if there are some unaware people falling for it repetitively so you’re calling all of us stupid but you’re also using theory language against powerful development company hope that works out well for you son

    Other than the great points you covered, one of the main reasons why I’ll never come back to DCUO is because the game is extremely Anti New Player/Returning player friendly. Getting to level 30 is still fun but once you hit that mark you’re stuck with playing old episodes that no one plays anymore. Random queues have no one and your only chance of getting skill points and progressing through all episodes naturally is if you have a stable group of friends willing to help you out. If you’re by yourself it’s game over.

      Exactly this. I almost tried returning but watched this video before I joined back. I've "returned" to the game a few times but it was just too difficult and too expensive to get back into as absolutely no one plays the old raids, let alone any of the old content. The player base is already dying extremely quickly, and only people who have sunk hours into the game are still playing. They have no care for updating the game, only squeezing cash out of their players. Just disgusting.

    After watching your video I can honestly say your feelings on this game is valid. I've been on this game since day one and I actually stopped play for about 2 years before I came back in. The reason I came back is the fact there is no other Super Hero MMO out there on console. I love this style of game and there is non like it currently. My league is for the most part dead with a few only active like myself. They feel the same as your about the game. This is a great video expressing what you think of the current state of the game and I'm sure there are many people who fell the same. Keep up the good work.

    @MyHandle4455 12 дней назад +1

    I have a lot of fond memories of this game. The best of those being with the League I ran with. However, for most ppl it's al 'All or Nothing' type of experience. Meaning, if you want to stay competitive in this game you will need to spend a lot of time and money getting everything you need (gear, OP Item, artifacts, allies, etc.). Unfortunately, each time a new DLC drops, you feel like you're back at square 1 and the grind starts all over again. Not only that, but because things like artifacts and allies are cash cows for the game, they are always coming out with new ones that will make the ones you spent so much time and money leveling up, seem subar. Sure, you can say... I don't bother with any of that... and I just play for fun. But when you run with a competitive League, the pressure to stay at the same level with the rest of your league mates can be a real thing, because there's always another Tank or Healer in the league that is more than eager to take your spot in the raid group if your stats are not up to the task. So... make with that info what you will. I had a great couple years playing, but decided to hang up my "tights" when I no longer had the time to grind out another set of Elite gear and the OP Item. The timing worked out well as most of the 'Old Heads' in the league felt the same way. Best of luck!

I was Golding out hope for so long for them to do a graphics/powerset update. new moves etc and NOTHING. they promised a ps5 graphic update in 2020 that would be released in 2022 and still nothing! Ppl keep saying you don’t have to pay which is true but you literally can’t even access certain epsidodes without being a member which you have to PAY FOR. I have a static shock character that I want to be updated so bad bc I know the potential of DCUO could be amazing if they actually had competent and GENUINE creative devs

    Old gear gets replaced by new ones. Seems like every MMO ever. PVP doesn't pay is strange that's like what players care the most about but it is a business so they do have to make money. Still, I heard nothing but praise about DCUO's PVP back in the day.

    almost got into this game last week. saw it pop up on ps5 and was curious. Made a character and palyed for a lil. it was kind of fun. I almost…ALMOST bought the battle pass or w.e it’s called. but watched a couple videos to see if it was even worth it and found out this game isn’t just pay to win, it’s basically pay to play just to enjoy the game decently u have to throw in money even to get all the powers have to pay😭

    Bro, 100% I bought this game when it was initially released. I got the collectors edition with the Batman statue and then they made it free to play. I got like three free months of whatever subscription service they were offering and then that’s it. This game became paid to win and I honestly wish I just got a complete refund for this game.

    Only thing I ever bought for this game is the power bundle besides that fact I think it's a great MMO especially with all the episodes free I nerd out every time I play this game, I just love the idea of creating my own character and taking on missions from the justice league. The graphics aren't the best, but I love the art style and design of the world. I can see why it'd be frustrating if you spent a lot of money on this game only for them to cancel your subscription, but I've been playing this game for years and haven't even thought about buying one, but idk I'm a simple man to please give me a story with decent combat and I'll be singing your praises.

    I barely play it anymore and been a long time since I paid for anything on it. It is ridiculous to get items because players ask way too much and half I can't use. You think being 2024 and PS5, the graphics would look more realistic with realistic bodies and movements, new powers and upgrades, new areas and levels unlike what has been around since beginning. They did an update but no costumes or anything I saw. Every time I try to do levels with other players, nobody does anything nor joins anything so can never play certain levels. I deleted mine but only keep it because there is nothing to play as I quit GTA5 almost a year ago and deleted it. Most of the time, the game is boring now and nothing left to do much so I barely go onto it anymore. They need a remastered DCU with realistic graphics, ray tracing, and more.

    I've been playing since Year 1. I don't know how much more time I have with this game. At the very least, I'll play the hell out of it, then take a break for 2-3 weeks. It's all gotten so repetitive. Also, yes, the artifacts are ridiculous. It's easily the worst thing about the game. Allies are kind of the same concept, but not nearly as bad. People have been calling for a sequel for some time, and I would like to see a revamped ally system as well-perhaps something like Neverwinter, where they're always there, following you around...? Anyway, at this point, I can't blame anyone who dumps it...I wouldn't be surprised if it gets shut down next week!

    this is such a skill issue. I've been playing since 2013ish and didn't even make my first ingame purchase until the water power dropped. Where I bought all of the powers minus rage. I've never been into pvp or really postgame content, but I absolutely adore the game. the fact its free to play and you can get to where membership owners are by grinding hard. There isn't that huge of an incentive for me to purchase stuff, but i'm also a healthy gamer and dont really play more than a week or 2. So If I buy the membership it lasts a months and then It goes away until I feel like playing again. Sure the games got shit graphics, bad voice acting, and crappy npc's but yet you can find yourself grinding just so you characters can hit level 30.
    My highest level character which is cr 170 something i think, and most of that has been grinding. and I cant say I hate this game or that it has ripped me off in anyway. I like buying armorys for my base too. anything else I work for 🗣
    although its a shame ab the lifetime subscription. only thing i agree on. Replay tolkens is a skill issue too. Just wait till it's replayable! anyways sorry for the long comment!

    as a day one player, and most of those I played with here beta players. the game was great when it was still being developed by Sony. The OG f2p side was just the basic story, which was fine. Once it left sony's hands and became full F2p, it greatly declined. The quality of challenge of the episodes declined. They also got much shorter. there is also no real point for Tier levels, as the system is designed to provide buffs so you meet the minimum specs for each episode. At his point, I may play it once or twice a year, and I feel like my earth Tank is still greatly OP for most the content. The levels hold no challenge anymore. But then again, the over all quality of game play and skill levels have dropped greatly in the last few years of gaming in general.

    Imagine any other game you own. Imagine paying the absolute insane amounts of money in it.
    I’m not talking about the few hundred a year ppl. I’m talking the tens of thousands ppl (plural)
    This game was designed to create an addiction (which was fine, back win it was sub only) it’s designed to have you constantly “chasing the dragon”
    The amount of ppl playing this game, who actually resent tf outta it; because they see the trap they’re caught in. And they can’t walk away, because they’ve invested insane money (on a game that causes them nothing but stress) they can’t walk away because they feel: I’ll lose all the money and time I’ve invested (IT’S ALREADY LOST! Now you have to cut your losses)
    Best option for those wanting to leave now, is to sell their accounts, and be absolutely done with this illness forever.
    In-game now: I actively try and tell ppl to quit before they become to invested. This company dgaf about he player base! They see the game dying a slow death; and they’re trying to suck more and more and more. The prices for styles now, hidden behind paywalls is fking insane. The amount they’re asking for; you’d swear it was a brand new, popular af game. lol!
    Most of you who play this game still. You know you’re an addict! And you know that your addiction costs you thousands per year. The reason so many of you don’t care - is because you’re unemployed! And get government assistance. So the money was never worked for, and you feed other ppl’s hard earned money, into this fktard of a game.
    Maybe governments need to step in, and see if money is being pissed away on these games.
    Sooner this game shuts down, the better for all. You may not see it now, but it would benefit you.
