DCUO, Dead by the end of next year?

Been hearing it for 3 1/2 years myself. Didn't you know? This game died LAST YEAR. It's all an illusion. We aren't even talking on the forums! It's all a dream

I think you need to do some research man, they have to recycled new areas and tech because the ps3 cant handle it. Its already been a proven fact and they have stated this numerous times. Be ignorant all you want but its true, sorry to hurt your feelings.

Explain this to me, when a more expansive, time consuming, non sub based mmo comes along do you think DCUO will last?

Because there hasnt been one as of yet but next year there are multiple coming out on next gen.

Thank you Kaiser, at least you know whats going on.

DCUO will last as long as F2P MMO Console games are limited. I couldn't tell you what other MMOs are out there right now, but it's a very small list compared to what PC players can choose from.

If they drop the PS3, we'll be closer to death than anything until maybe 2-3 years from now. PS3 users don't have many choices when it comes to what MMOs they can play, especially free ones. The most they can do is play a disc based game, where the multiplayer is limited to 12-24 players, or something along those lines.

The PS4 will be offered choices when the times comes, but there's no exact date where it'll compete with DCUO. The closet choice is Destiny IMO, and that's a First Person Shooter, so some believe it won't compete with DCUO due to it's genre, which is somewhat true.

The DC name can only go so far when the original content is lacking. I doubt it'll be next year, but who knows what the future releases.

Yeah well, if we all play this game it's because we all like it, but how good the game is for you shouldn't make you blind. My feeling with DCUO is that we are at a not growing or a very low growing state, the players who join are equal to those who leave (more or less), at least this is the sensation I get when I play the game or check the social networks. I have a lot of friends who still play on PS3, but we really need to get rid of that heavy load, the sooner the better.

But DCUO isnt making money with F2P players. Theres a lot of non sub based more expansive MMOs coming out for PS4 next year.

More than 5 i can count. ANd thats what im saying, if they dont change something, it wont last by 2016.

If anything kills this game it will be the Developers. They are now becoming more of a money grabbing company and making the game how they want it except how we gamers want it.

Meh, we got already 12 powersets and yet we are going 3 more this year when half of the ones we got are messed up... /shrug

I also understand that the content seems underwhelmed.
if the content is more centred on Inclusion then stacking, maybe it could revive some of the base

Also fixing powers, and old bugs can Increase longevity

ll be laughing my butt off when the game is still going strong next year. It is the same thing everything we hear a new MMO is coming out. You all said FF was going to kill this game. Guess what, DCUO is still here and is 10 times better that that piece of #### game.

Exactly, now you see what im saying.

I mean think about, we all wait on a new dlc but we all already know what were getting. Some PVE content, couple feats, and a new style/power.

We then max out on that DLC then wait on the next to do the exact SAME THING. But somehow no one sees this as a problem in the future. I just want change thats all. Ive invested too much into this game for it to be so repetitive content wise.

Well, in my opinion, DCUO has thrived for years due to it's uniqueness and also the fact that it is one of few successful console MMO's. However, that being said, I do agree that those facts may mean little in 2015 and beyond. This is due to the fact that there are many other console MMO's for other gamers to choose from and all of which will be geared toward Next-gen gaming consoles. I'm not saying that DCUO will die by any means but other console MMO's being released may definitely cause DCUO players to venture off temporarily or even permanently.

Thank you for understanding exactly where im coming from. And im not saying it will die either but without change im sure it will. People need to wake up.

It will survive and thrive. New players will continue to roll in. The DC license has a built in fan base. I heard this with Old Republic. IT was going to KILL DCUO. WE ALL SAW HOW THAT WORKED OUT. sometimes I think people actually ROOT for games to fail.

Oh the naiveness. Alright man.

Idk.. I think the OP is getting at an underlying issue aimed at content more than anything.
And the underlying issue is more overt than anything: exclusion/stacking, less challenge and lack of skill.
while I usually say skill is present, in more recent runs, im seeing why skill is brought up more and more.

But anyway not to be impertinent, antagonistic, or delusive..

FFXIV VS DCUO a few examples.

Twitter: 74.9k vs 66.5k (and just counting the EN twitter of FF, because just the japanese one has 110k alone)
YouTube: 124k vs 59k (and this is just the JP YT account)

Not saying that FFXIV is better or worse than DC because I never played it, but it is indeed bigger, we can't deny it. But DC dying because of FFXIV, nah... because of Destiny? I really doubt it... but the more the PS4 is in the market, the better games will come out, and in this world that technologically speaking everything moves so fast, or you adapt or you die. DCUO ain't an expection.

Clearly you hope the game fails so you can say you knew it all along. Perhaps you should save yourself the time and get out before the rish

Ive stated several times i want the game to succeed, but you gotta open your eyes man. seriously.

I want change, thats the point of this post, if you ok with paying monthly for the same content given to you over and over again, so be it. but im not paying money to fund a sinking ship.
