    Time for DCUO 2.. NO expansions are-NOT the same...I dont want Brainiac storyline..I want Dark SUperman/injustice, or some dark future like Marvels future imperct or Old Man Logan. Not to mention the combat power system BLOWS chunks...Th ecombat weapon combos are amazing! but the complexity of combining soo many powers for combat rating was too much for me..i played TWICE. both times forTime for DCUO 2.. NO expansions are-NOT the same...I dont want Brainiac storyline..I want Dark SUperman/injustice, or some dark future like Marvels future imperct or Old Man Logan. Not to mention the combat power system BLOWS chunks...Th ecombat weapon combos are amazing! but the complexity of combining soo many powers for combat rating was too much for me..i played TWICE. both times for about a year........

    ~~~revamp the whooole game with or without a new engine. diesnt matter...But the stories are pathetic. like a generic comic story that NONE OF US WOULD EVER NEVER EVER READ/BUY...

    --The writing is outdated..its like a early 1990's style of story. just sooo rated PG. & stale....read the Injustice comic and tell me that wouldnt make a great DCUO STORY... The good guy/bad guy teams are mixed but they still have theyre good/bad personalities..and Superman is the only character powerful enough to enslave...

    ~~Unless Shazaam were to go dark by whatever means..im OK with that..It instan tly made me think of,,,of,,? im drawing a blank at the nake of that,,,(3 mins later) KINGDOM KOME!
    **Because Shazaam is a little kid= he could easilly get confused down a darker path because the only way to prtect humanity is to bring in the heroes/villains and fishbowl the people...
    ---Can anyone beat Shazaam? superman,Batman? but thats were writing comes in.

    ****ii just want a storyline that isnt the same ole same ole boring cvrappy crap....
    ~~A Dark Batman because Alfred is killed by a hero sounds dope...Imagine batman without the morals..    … Expand

    It´s a free MMORPG with 100% DC content, the game accomplish to make you feel like a superhero, you create your superhero or villain, yes you can be a VILLAIN, with your own style or based on a DC character. This game has a good main story, a large amount of secondary missions, raids, challenges and also PvP, the game is very complete in those aspects.

    If you want more content there are DLC´s for you to play more episodes, or you can buy a membership to have all DLC´s at the time and other benefits. Buying dlcs or membership is recommended after lv 30, dlcs are not expensive and they bring lot of content to the game.

    As a free MMORPG is a good option to give it a try at least, this game makes you feel like you are watching a movie or reading a comic book thanks to the great animation the game has.

    The only bad thing now is that there are many players on Xbox and the queue to log in takes too long, except for members and premium (you can be premium for life if at least you spend 5 dlls in the game, just once)    … Expand

    While the story doesn't deliver much like the cutscence intensed, dc universe online still remains a fun game to play. With the character customization being the best thing about the game, it's cool to finally create your own character in the dc universe.

    A good superhero MMO experience with tons of character customizability and good action combat system, but feeling very old on the technical front ad too many paygates for the players.

    DC Universe Online isn't going to be an MMO that will be remembered for years to come, but it is still entertaining for those who are fans of the genre and for someone who wants to get stuck into a world of superheroes and villains.
