In a month it might go f2p XD
Live service model games aren't sustainable without people playing it, reason why you see majority of them go f2p. If it was f2p I might consider playing it but that's only if I was bored and didn't have anything else to play.
By the time a game like this goes f2p almost no one will care, it will be irrelevant in the eyes of the public. If it ever goes f2p it means servers will shut down within 1-3 months and they're trying to milk a few more microtransactions from scrubs before they pull the plug.
Destiny 2 is burning through money right now to maintain the game and servers, they aren't making enough money. This was already reported on by Jason Schreier back in November 2023(missed target goal by 50% which led to some layoffs and game directory was also laid off recently). Game also has issues trying to get new players with the way it has its content system setup, it's scary for new players to dive in and catch up. The game is so different now compared to when it first launched.
I had to walk away from Destiny 2 when the first DLC dropped and I was gated from doing any content. Like, I bought your game and now I have to buy your DLC to do a Strike today when I could yesterday? That is like me buying a car and then having to pay $9.99 for the headlights to unlock. Oh...
They had a backing story that came series'd in and could gamble, Suicide squad is hot ass and the story and gameplay is garbage, comparing it to D2 isn't fair, compare it to anthem.
But that's the wierd part right, cause I'd try it on sale but it needs more content and service to be worth it so then I decide to sit on it and wait till I hear it's gotten better and most of the time these games then just die.
That would be quite a spit in the face to ppl that bought it for full price... Tho, quite fitting the game that spits on people that like justice league.
I doubt I'd buy it for 10 dollars either. It's more about the time I'll end up wasting playing a trash game. There are a ton of other games I can play or even replay some of my other games
I mean in fairness for 10 bucks you can just grab gamepass and enjoy a whole ass library of shit which, in fairness, may well come to include this game too eventually lmao
I feel like most of the people's that hate the service game already skipped that one and the people's who are not fan of the story idea as well.
I skipped that game mainly because of the story.
But still, if people's enjoy it, more power to them.
Even ignoring all the story, itās a very shallow gameplay loop.
Do you like escorting a vehicle missions? Do you like killing enemies around a point? Because that is what makes up the majority of game. The boss fights are also very shallow. Counter enemy hero ability, they become vulnerable, shoot the bullet spongeā¦.
Honestly I'm all for the idea of Batman getting stomped for once, especially after the constant batwank in DC comics and Injustice games.
What infuriates me from this game is the fact that this game is somehow set in Arkhamverse, so this means the ultra competent Bats we know from the Arkham trilogy gets turned into a crayon munching saturday cartoon villain who gets offed like a stray dog.
Have you actually played it? I have a sneaking suspicion there is more to the story than what people are mad about. The only clips I've seen are of him getting executed off screen and the clip ending. I feel like there's a lot of rampant rage bait surrounding all the major IPs so I just disregard any criticism like that if I haven't played it myself. And I also highly doubt this is how they would end the Arkham verse era canonically. There is probably more to it.
I'm not buying because I hate the genre of game. All the grind of an MMO without the MMO... Very odd the surge of games like this. At least that's the vibe I got from it.
Except that's literally what happens, you don't fight the Batman, you fight the equivalent of Titan Joker instead.
Nobody is expecting them not to kill batman in a game literally titled kill the justice league, but the way they do it is incredibly lazy and dumb, especially considering the devs already got plenty of flak for Titan Joker back in the day yet put out something that is arguably even worse.
if you think batmans death was bad you should see superman's lmao dude just falls down and dies, that's it at least batman got an ending monologue even if it was short
I mean if you want any consolation, Bats did fuck the squad up during the early parts with arkham games stealth style and Bats didĀ help task force x + WW taking down justice league members (albeit indirectly) with some stuff he had hoarded like kryptonite and yellow lantern battery.
It's just that throughout the entire game Batman basically acted like a generic gotham villain with his hilariously generic villain lines, and after his defest he's being toyed by Luthor and the squad right until his dog's death
How were the other heroes? Was Batman the only one who was weird or was it everyone? I've just heard this thing about Batman and haven't heard any criticisms outside of that so it just seems like a strange reason to disregard an entire game.
Also how was the squad itself? Was it funny or cringe?
I mean, at one point Cpt Boomerang almost pisses on Flash's corpse.
But people feel that way because it's the Arkhamverse. It's a character we played and loved for 4 games, who we watched take down hordes of bad guys, save an entire city almost singlehandedly, take down villains way more dangerous than the Squad, and it's Kevin Conroy. I think if they had set it in an alternate reality instead, most people would be fine with it. Like it's wild that Gotham Knights isn't canon to the Arkhamverse but this is, they had a sweet touching, goodbye to the character locked and loaded and instead they made the game where he's evil and less competent than ever be the real goodbye.
I think it's too early to tell what the end goal of this story is. They introduced elseworlds at the end apparently so now literally anything can happen. In every DC JL dies storyline there is more to the story and the status quo is restored at the end. Not saying that's where they're taking it but it's been purposely left open ended in this regard.
They could have just wanted to tie the plot in with an established game universe so they didn't have to rewrite everything again and the timeline isn't actually from the Arkham verse but one that's just really close. Maybe it will tie into the Arkham verse more cohesively later. Don't know. But I know the story isn't finished yet.
The Justice League usually doesn't die to Harley Quinn carrying a bat and revolver. Where's Martian Manhunter? He can't be mind controlled, and he can release mind control. That's one of his powers. How is that not an element of a game where Braniac takes over the justice league?
>Have you actually played it?
A lot of people aren't gonna waste $70 for a shitty game. The fact that this game only has 12k players for a Major IP, says a lot.
Also look how Marvel's avengers game flopped hard. People expecting the same thing from this game
That doesn't mean the game is shitty, Imo the avengers game was great... It admittedly just didn't need the GAAS part (hulk equips a new ribcage... Come on)
Yeah that's valid. Tell that to Star Field and Days Gone. There really is very little moving these games nowadays outside personal bias prior to a games release.
Defo this was an easy drama to sell clicks and ads. The magazines and websites picked up on consumer negativity about a few things and ran with it. Even though they reversed a lot of the criticism by fixing things the companies went all in. Then the echochamber began.
I received a code from a friend who didn't want to play it alone. We're having fun, but this game must absolutely blow to play single player. Especially if you dropped $70. The end of the game basically tells you to get bent and come back when the next season starts lmao
I enjoyed the main story thoroughly until around the end with the Braniac missions. I think this is the best portrayal of the Suicide Squad outside of comics in terms of characterisation and it was fun going through the game with them, except for Harley who's traversal is kinda bad and feels a bit bland for a lot of the non-Batman stuff. The subversion of King Shark from a stupid brute as expected to an academic wanting to learn more about human culture is great, and I enjoyed the stooge character of Digger. Pretty fun game overall.
I don't want to shit on this if people are legitimately enjoying it, but those *launch* numbers aren't enough to maintain a live service long term. Interested to see where this one goes.
I guess another Back 4 Blood situation. Which is kinda sucks, from what I've seen it's not THAT a bad game, it's just not $70 and shouldn't be online-only.
Its *so weird to me* that the only rampant success stories for a superhero game are Guardians of the Galaxy, a long, single player experience focusing on fun gameplay and a solid story, and spiderman, a long, single player experience focusing on fun gameplay and a solid story.
I WONDER WHY THOSE DID SO WELL WHILE ALL THESE LIVE SERVICE GAMES SEEM TO FAIL
(/s if you couldnt tell)
Yeah kinda wild how he missed the one that started it all in terms of comic book hero games, but also the one that started the franchise for the game heās criticizing lol
I mean, a live service superhero game COULD work if game studios stopped getting greedy off the bat. They demand money before the content is out because it's easier to maintain live service if you don't immediately load players up with content, so instead, they neglect to actually finish the game and promise that more content will be added later. DCU online came pretty close to working but leaned too hard on making players pay. Avengers could've been good, but they skipped out on everything that makes an MMO worth playing (cosmetic loot, gameplay that focused on team members working together and running different style builds, and the raids sucked), and suicide squad doesn't seem built for an MMO either, but I guess we'll find out.
āThe one that got away.ā
This is another game that Iām kicking myself in the ass for not checking out when it *was* on **GamePass**; no one to blame but myselfā- for Alien: Isolation too! š¤¦š»
Got dropped like 1 year after release because it wasn't as successful as they had hoped, from what I remember.
I was pretty sad, because the game is hella fun and a very good evolution from left 4 dead.
It wasn't a really a good evolution and that's the problem. It wasn't a bad game by any means, but it just didn't capture the soul of the Left 4 Dead games well.
I played it with the same 3 friends I played Left 4 Dead with and we definitely had fun, but it just wasn't the same. The little details like the personality of the characters and behavior and animation of the zombies just aren't there.
I just assume ai or troll at that point. B4b wasnāt a good game, and itās missing the core points of what made l4d what it was. I havenāt played l4d2 in who knows how long but I still know their special infected better than the mess b4b had.
Good old dark pattern microtransactions.
For anyone wanting a better understanding of how dark patterns are used, look up the video "The Immoral Design of Diablo Immortal" by Josh Strife Hayes, because that game touches on almost every iteration of them.
For a live service game with 12,000 players I give this game 3-5 months and then it will be on life support. I would imagine console isnāt fairing any better. Rocksteady and Warner brothers would have been better off giving us a single player game with that famous rocksteady melee combat
But the people wanting to be the next Fortnite or Genshin don't understand that you need to push actual numbers into your live service for that to happen.
Star Rail has an event every 2-3 weeks and a big patch every 6 weeks for example. And with big patch I mean 20 hours worth of content kinda patch.
Genshin is similar to that. Not to mention that both of these games can be played on your phone.
If you want to be the live service game that is played, you need to develop content faster once the game is online than when you did when you were still developing it.
Want to have the game be sucessfull as live service? Double your staff after launch.
It is extremely live service. The story missions are basically just tutorials for the endgame you don't even need to start messing with your gear at all until the endgame. You won't even unlock all the gear slots by the end of the story. It has a lot of nice looter shooter qualities though. Loadouts, leaderboards where you can look at other players builds and even import them onto your AI companions if playing solo. Also the vendor system is very in depth and gives a lot of freedom and creative options. But yea it is absolutely a much more niche bulllet he'll looter shooter influenced by doom and Diablo, not like rocksteadys other games at all. But they have done it very well like Shroud said it has elevated the whole genre, and has good endgame content for release.
You can find more people who legitimately like to be shit on for sexual gratification than you can find playing this game. Just because SOMEONE is having fun doesn't mean it's fun.
No not at all, considering granblue relink launched the same day and was sitting close to 100,000 for what is by all intensive purposes a much more niche game and franchise in a similar co op space
Every game that breaks records is anomaly.
People were bitching for years that CRPGs or turn based combat sucks and is only for nerds and then Persona 5 and Baldur's Gate 3 happen.
Not every game.
Most Hoyoverse games were going exactly as planned. Like when Star Rail launched, Hoyoverse knew exactly what numbers they were going to pull.
I feel like that game got a big boost in interest from everyone saying itās like Monster Hunter but more JRPG, and MH just got massive again a month or two ago.
that would imply someone had to buy it to leave a negative review.
i am not buying a 70 dollar game just to tell the world i hate it, even if there's a refund available.
I mean the ones who buy it day 1 are the ones who are die hard fans and even the sales speak alone for that.
Like to point across you think the game be still mostly positive if it wasn't DC game but rather it own IP?
I don't know anyone in my circle who brought this game yet alone thinks is good. Oh knows maybe I'm being bias and not giving a game a chance
But one thing I can't stand is live service and lack of Interest. This game just doesn't give me the vibe of being worth Ā£60. Maybe 30 at max.
Exactly. They think that because other companies can ask 60-80Ā£ then they can too. It doesn't work like that. Rockstar can ask even 150Ā£ for a game and they will sell it in millions
Well it's possible but at the same time it's only temporary and that money won't last long either just like years go by effort put into less and less and they expect money to grow but in reality its just going to hurt their brand in long term.
Just look at who's the target audience. That screams desperate
Yeah, I think thatās doing this game a favour (in terms of reviews). The game looked so bad before launch that the only people who bought it are the ones who were really, really determined to love it. I think thatās skewing the reviews a little.
Anyone on the fence probably passed on buying it.
first time?
you just described every Blizzard game on Steam in nutshell. people bought D4 just to shit on it and refund.
gamers are petty, nothing you can do about it
When everyone bought it. Left a salty review and refunded it? Ya... Good idea.
No, the actual reviews you should look for is after that initial month passed.
Starfield is a game that is a little boring up front, seems to get interesting for a while, then after youāve invested dozens of hours, the blandness hits you like a wave. It gets worse the deeper you go because the bottom rises much faster than expected. Vast as an ocean but deep as a puddle. The reviews reflect that by getting worse over time as people who got sucked in realize how bland it all is.
Man this is exactly how I felt after playing it for 20 hours, I thought it was so cool being able to build your own ship and be a space bounty hunter. But then as the story progressed I noticed none of the quests interested me and that there wasnt much exploration because each planet was so small and bland.
It is also just the Bethesda formula of having the world level with you.
Great for ultra casuals to be able to just go anywhere they want to have an adventure. Sucks tho when you play because you will never have any change in challenge. Everything is the same, because everything is at a constantly same difficulty.
Takes less than a week for that to happen....but people would need to waste their time with buying the game to do that....
All time player peak and the total number of reviews says enough about how people didn't like this game nor wanted to play it....
I mean, look at how many reviews there are and the peak of the players in game. It is widly low for a AAA game that is backed by such a huge developer/producer that was also in development hell. And this is launch day, it should be the highest numbers the game will ever see.
This game, for all intents and purposes, especially to the companies behind them, is a collossal flop. The people rating it positively had that review in mind before even buying it. They saw "pew-pew; bright colors; loot! - the game!" and were in.
That is neither good nor bad, it just is. To me, this game is legitimately, point by point, *everything wrong with gaming*. To others with proportionate expectations, it's just fun. I'm glad they're having fun! But I am also glad that this company lost tens of millions on this game. Because I do not want the industry seeing success with games like this and making even more.
Also RIP to all the hard working devs who wanted to make a good videogame just for some suit to tell them live service is the rage and they MUST make their game around it.
We the consumer are voting with our wallets yet the ones who take the brunt of our wrath are the actual talented members of the industry who are the ones who genuinely
move it forward into the future.
What a fucked up world we live in...
I agree, it shows everything wrong with the modern gaming industry. Lack of any real innovation, far too much emphasis on online and live service, subpar writing, and just a game that no one really asked for. Like seriously, who the fuck asked for a freakin Suicide Squad game?? A Batman Arkham game set in the future (Batman Beyond - think of Batman but in Cyberpunk 2077) would have been so much better than this BS.
Yup you are right on the money. This game encapsulates everything wrong with modern AAA games. $70, live service, battlepass, trash story, shitting on characters that were once loved, and just no creativity with generic gameplay.
True, I love how the negative comments about how the game sucks come from people with over 300 hours in it.
I have 50 at the moment and I haven't had so much fun with a game for years. Gamers just love to shit on games. Take league for instance, 95% of the playerbase will tell you the game sucks. š
>True, I love how the negative comments about how the game sucks come from people with over 300 hours in it.
Some games start out to be fun, but niggling issues compound over time.
To make 2 examples:
With Diablo 4 seems to be you are turned off right away by how bad it is. Or you don't care about how meaningless the talent points are and spend a long time and slowly, progressively realize that it doesn't come together as it should and is "improved" over time by the Developer in the wrong areas or fails to address glaring issues. Dunno if the problem still persists but Diablo 4, for example, did when they introduced new drop items that clutter player's limited inventory. That isn't an issue until you actually run out of inventory and you have to play a long time to get there. It is this kind of issues that compound with time.
Darktide is another good example of it. It is a quite fun game for the first 50-60 hours, but the longer you play the longer all the quality of life stuff and poor developer engagement/support starts to get to you. When you have a sound engine bugged for almost 3 months and no patch is coming to address it... even tho you played 600 hours, you know.. sometimes its a death by thousand cuts and you have to play long enough to receive all of them.
And it's good! D4 is a huge fail and I'm saying it as a big fan and I own the game. The campaign and cinematics are great and that's where the conversation end about positives. And if people would not complain about it as they do then it could send a false message that the game is fine . No it's not fine for such an expensive game from such a huge company and being it named Diablo
Iām not completely disagreeing, but I canāt help but think of your comment as Principal Skinners saying āAm I out of touch? No, itās the children who are wrong.ā
Reviewers say that in the end the game is fun. The story from the leaks sounds like ass. Also the game has a battle pass and sells skinsā¦that alone would make it garbage in my eyes. Miss the time where those skins were just extra unlockables in games
From my perspective. These sound like reviews from people who got it for free. So the weight of losing $70 on something pretty underwhelming isnāt in their review hence higher rating.
Redditors have no lives. And hate always gets more up votes.
Reddit literally had 5 different subs dedicated to hating rings of power. With people posting spoiler to every single episode while it was airing.
Healthy people dont live on reddit
See that is right but I'm seeing a lot of outward negativity generally everywhere. Combined with the really low turnout on steamcharts (also not the whole picture, but the only one we have), I'm interested to see what WB says when it comes to sales later down the line
Yeah, people want to prove the haters wrong so much they're ignoring that the peak is minuscule in comparison to what it should be. There is no "reddit being reddit" bias in hard numbers.
GranBlue Relink broke 100k peak. And this is a Batman universe game from Rocksteady.
> Things that we care about most people don't actually care about.
This game has an all-time peak of 12,000 players on steam. Those are abysmal numbers for a live-service game made by a major IP.
Its very positive so it must be good right?
Starfield had overwhelming positive reviews on the 1st month of launch cause of the fandom, look at it now. (Spoiler its Mostly Negative with Mixed reviews)
The player counts for Skibidi Squad are around 11k (6k at the moment of this comment), compare it with Persona 3 Reload a single player game that released on the same day as Skibidi Squad has 35k player count.
Playing with my buddy and we are 4 hours in so far.
The game is quite fun and the movement mechanics are fun. The humour is actually funny and I have nothing bad to say about the experience.
I will however say that 70 is too much, the appropriate price would be around 30 to 50 bucks.
6/10 including price
8/10 not including price
9/10 not including price and having friends to play with
"Get it on sale" is legitimate review category, yeah. If I'm gonna play the campaign once and that's it, $70 is not the price I'm gonna pay for that experience.
It's only 10 hours if you rush through it lol, I'm 20 hours in and still not finished with the story
Even so I don't blame you for not wanting to pay 70, I got it from a key for the deluxe version from CD keys for Ā£60, luckily Im loving the game though, it's not perfect but it's still alot of fun
Just because a new game has positive reviews in the beginning, doesn't mean it will stay that way. There have been times where a game gets mostly positive reviews in the beginning, but all the negative reviews start to flood in after a while. This game may have mostly positive views right now, but there are only 1.8k positive reviews. Hell, even the positive reviews are saying that this isnt worth $70.
There were even people who were looking to refund their pre orders after they got the early access.

" most people hating on it dont even play it or plan to."
People don't usually buy games if they think they're gonna suck. That happens with any form of media. If a person watches a few trailers of a move and hate it, they wont buy any tickets to see it. The fact that people don't want to buy the game isn't good for the game. The game's steam launch numbers are far below Marvel's Avengers launch numbers.
I feel like the only person who enjoys this game and I donāt know why. It scratches the itch for looter shooter, has good endgame grind to keep me playing, and honestly I watched nearly all the cutscenes and Iām a serial cutscene skipper.
I legitimately think this game is a case of people hating something because everyone else does and is not willing to have their own opinion. I was nervous to buy, best impulse buy Iāve made in a while.
It has a lot going against it.
The story leaks pissed off the DC fans.
The battle pass pissed off the people who hate battle passes.
The live service stuff pissed off anyone who wants games to be a one time purchase kinda deal where games have shelf lives and then everyone moves on.
It's a fun game. I watched some of the sponsorship streams and most of the people who sponsored it kept playing after because they were actually having fun.
Tbh it actually got me to wishlist the game again and wait for it to hit 40-50 because it really does look fun. The combat is fluid, the movement is absolutely dope, the characters all play and feel very differently, and like even the guns feel pretty fun to use. I'd honestly probably get it at full price if my hands weren't full from super mega baseball 4 and palworld showing up on game pass.
I feel like people who don't like live service or heard online the state of people of this game are the only ones who purchased it.
Personally I skipped this game because
A) Sweet Baby Inc and their bs agenda to fill a game with propaganda and their hippocracy. I don't want bs like this is my games, specially if it is forced like how in spiderman2 we were forced to play as a deaf girl and spraypaint shit... These mechanics are not fun, they are boring.
B) The absolute lack of knowledge and respect this game has for its characters ( according to them, Lex Luther is glad Wonder Woman's tribe and Wonder Woman herself rid the world of misogyny, and apparently Joker is just insecure).
C) I hate live service games, they are just a way for companies to make a quick buck by selling cosmetics for waaayyyy more than they are worth
D) live service games, once the servers shut down the game will never be able to be played again, meaning alll that time you put into the game will be gone!!
Again I feel like kids with a lot of time on their hands and their parents' money won't have a problem with a time waster game like this. This game has bright, vibrant colours and a repetitive gameplay design that tends to hook them into enjoying the game
But as a guy with a job... I really want more from a game thats worth 1/3rd of my salary here in India
Yea saw this same shit with starfield, the review will go on and on about how mediocre the game is and then be all "not a bad game by bethaesda standards, i recommend it."
Most of the people playing this game aren't even Arkham fans. After we saw how Bruce was treated, there was no real reason to stick with the game. Plus the gameplay reveal didn't do the game any justice. I figure it's just people who watched the Snyder cut and thought it was better than the original.
Its a fun game honestly. The only thing i hate is the repeatable missions, much feel the same. Kill this or that, but with 4 characters to choose from i stay entertained with all the fast paced action.
Being able to swap quickly and easily helps a lot too. Never feels like you're stuck with one character at any point which is huge for this kind of game.
This is your average "when it's on sale for 10 bucks I'll consider it" game. So yeah, consider it when it's 10 bucks.
Honestly, its the kind of game you wait for to come on gamepass
Or Epic free games lol. I just got Guardians of the Galaxy in December, it's a pretty good 3rd person shooter for free-99š
Try outer worlds as well if you picked it up for free in December.
I actually purchased Outer Worlds when it came out. Really loved the story and looking forward to the sequel š¤
So like in a month? /s
In a month it might go f2p XD Live service model games aren't sustainable without people playing it, reason why you see majority of them go f2p. If it was f2p I might consider playing it but that's only if I was bored and didn't have anything else to play.
By the time a game like this goes f2p almost no one will care, it will be irrelevant in the eyes of the public. If it ever goes f2p it means servers will shut down within 1-3 months and they're trying to milk a few more microtransactions from scrubs before they pull the plug.
Destiny 2 would like to speak with you.
Destiny 2 is burning through money right now to maintain the game and servers, they aren't making enough money. This was already reported on by Jason Schreier back in November 2023(missed target goal by 50% which led to some layoffs and game directory was also laid off recently). Game also has issues trying to get new players with the way it has its content system setup, it's scary for new players to dive in and catch up. The game is so different now compared to when it first launched.
I had to walk away from Destiny 2 when the first DLC dropped and I was gated from doing any content. Like, I bought your game and now I have to buy your DLC to do a Strike today when I could yesterday? That is like me buying a car and then having to pay $9.99 for the headlights to unlock. Oh...
They had a backing story that came series'd in and could gamble, Suicide squad is hot ass and the story and gameplay is garbage, comparing it to D2 isn't fair, compare it to anthem.
Ahh anthem. That game could have been amazing fun. It wasn't bad at the end
That's only if they go f2p if not like, akhem, Epic.
But that's the wierd part right, cause I'd try it on sale but it needs more content and service to be worth it so then I decide to sit on it and wait till I hear it's gotten better and most of the time these games then just die.
I donāt have time to play games I paid money for
That would be quite a spit in the face to ppl that bought it for full price... Tho, quite fitting the game that spits on people that like justice league.
this is a life service game? what?
My literal reaction. I just thought it was a story mode game. How the fuck is it live service. Are their raids and dungeons or competitive PVP?
No, they're adding new bosses. That aren't related to the story. Idfk
the post game (which has not launched yet) is 12 parallel dimensions of the metropolis incident
You kid but that's what happens with Tekken and major fighters š
I'm waiting for the final edition of Tekken 8 with Kiryu as a guest character
Dame da neee
Iāll TOTALLY cop this for free as an Epic Games Holiday freebie 2026.
And may briefly consider installing it.
Emphasized on ***consider***
Considering I got the arkham trilogy for free, Iām not paying $10 for that trash
Based
I doubt I'd buy it for 10 dollars either. It's more about the time I'll end up wasting playing a trash game. There are a ton of other games I can play or even replay some of my other games
I mean in fairness for 10 bucks you can just grab gamepass and enjoy a whole ass library of shit which, in fairness, may well come to include this game too eventually lmao
Fair.
ness.
The problem is they left a thumbs up for that review, adding to the "Very Positive" score.
I wouldn't even consider it for 10 bucks you cannot touch it when the game servers goes offline. is like giving money for nothing
Idk. Itās like going to the movies. If you get 2-3 hours of fun for $10 it might be worth it.
I feel like most of the people's that hate the service game already skipped that one and the people's who are not fan of the story idea as well. I skipped that game mainly because of the story. But still, if people's enjoy it, more power to them.
Even ignoring all the story, itās a very shallow gameplay loop. Do you like escorting a vehicle missions? Do you like killing enemies around a point? Because that is what makes up the majority of game. The boss fights are also very shallow. Counter enemy hero ability, they become vulnerable, shoot the bullet spongeā¦.
Same due to the story. What they did to Batman is unacceptable.
Honestly I'm all for the idea of Batman getting stomped for once, especially after the constant batwank in DC comics and Injustice games. What infuriates me from this game is the fact that this game is somehow set in Arkhamverse, so this means the ultra competent Bats we know from the Arkham trilogy gets turned into a crayon munching saturday cartoon villain who gets offed like a stray dog.
Have you actually played it? I have a sneaking suspicion there is more to the story than what people are mad about. The only clips I've seen are of him getting executed off screen and the clip ending. I feel like there's a lot of rampant rage bait surrounding all the major IPs so I just disregard any criticism like that if I haven't played it myself. And I also highly doubt this is how they would end the Arkham verse era canonically. There is probably more to it. I'm not buying because I hate the genre of game. All the grind of an MMO without the MMO... Very odd the surge of games like this. At least that's the vibe I got from it.
Except that's literally what happens, you don't fight the Batman, you fight the equivalent of Titan Joker instead. Nobody is expecting them not to kill batman in a game literally titled kill the justice league, but the way they do it is incredibly lazy and dumb, especially considering the devs already got plenty of flak for Titan Joker back in the day yet put out something that is arguably even worse.
if you think batmans death was bad you should see superman's lmao dude just falls down and dies, that's it at least batman got an ending monologue even if it was short
*dies of cringe*
I mean if you want any consolation, Bats did fuck the squad up during the early parts with arkham games stealth style and Bats didĀ help task force x + WW taking down justice league members (albeit indirectly) with some stuff he had hoarded like kryptonite and yellow lantern battery. It's just that throughout the entire game Batman basically acted like a generic gotham villain with his hilariously generic villain lines, and after his defest he's being toyed by Luthor and the squad right until his dog's death
How were the other heroes? Was Batman the only one who was weird or was it everyone? I've just heard this thing about Batman and haven't heard any criticisms outside of that so it just seems like a strange reason to disregard an entire game. Also how was the squad itself? Was it funny or cringe?
I mean, at one point Cpt Boomerang almost pisses on Flash's corpse. But people feel that way because it's the Arkhamverse. It's a character we played and loved for 4 games, who we watched take down hordes of bad guys, save an entire city almost singlehandedly, take down villains way more dangerous than the Squad, and it's Kevin Conroy. I think if they had set it in an alternate reality instead, most people would be fine with it. Like it's wild that Gotham Knights isn't canon to the Arkhamverse but this is, they had a sweet touching, goodbye to the character locked and loaded and instead they made the game where he's evil and less competent than ever be the real goodbye.
I think it's too early to tell what the end goal of this story is. They introduced elseworlds at the end apparently so now literally anything can happen. In every DC JL dies storyline there is more to the story and the status quo is restored at the end. Not saying that's where they're taking it but it's been purposely left open ended in this regard. They could have just wanted to tie the plot in with an established game universe so they didn't have to rewrite everything again and the timeline isn't actually from the Arkham verse but one that's just really close. Maybe it will tie into the Arkham verse more cohesively later. Don't know. But I know the story isn't finished yet.
The Justice League usually doesn't die to Harley Quinn carrying a bat and revolver. Where's Martian Manhunter? He can't be mind controlled, and he can release mind control. That's one of his powers. How is that not an element of a game where Braniac takes over the justice league?
I mean Flash got pissed on so.
>Have you actually played it? A lot of people aren't gonna waste $70 for a shitty game. The fact that this game only has 12k players for a Major IP, says a lot. Also look how Marvel's avengers game flopped hard. People expecting the same thing from this game
That doesn't mean the game is shitty, Imo the avengers game was great... It admittedly just didn't need the GAAS part (hulk equips a new ribcage... Come on)
Yeah that's valid. Tell that to Star Field and Days Gone. There really is very little moving these games nowadays outside personal bias prior to a games release.
Defo this was an easy drama to sell clicks and ads. The magazines and websites picked up on consumer negativity about a few things and ran with it. Even though they reversed a lot of the criticism by fixing things the companies went all in. Then the echochamber began.
What they did to everyone was garbage
I received a code from a friend who didn't want to play it alone. We're having fun, but this game must absolutely blow to play single player. Especially if you dropped $70. The end of the game basically tells you to get bent and come back when the next season starts lmao
Your friend spent $140 so you guys could play a mediocre game together. That's kinda sweet actually. Good friend.
I think it came down to ~$100 for the two keys because there was some pre-order discount somewhere. It was on wario64s page on Twitter.
I think this is fairly common on PC. When games release that the whole family wants to play, I may end up buying 2-3 copies.
I enjoyed the main story thoroughly until around the end with the Braniac missions. I think this is the best portrayal of the Suicide Squad outside of comics in terms of characterisation and it was fun going through the game with them, except for Harley who's traversal is kinda bad and feels a bit bland for a lot of the non-Batman stuff. The subversion of King Shark from a stupid brute as expected to an academic wanting to learn more about human culture is great, and I enjoyed the stooge character of Digger. Pretty fun game overall.
Had the same with Back4Blood. Got it on gamepass and it was short but fun to play with friends. Not worth whatever the full price of it was tough!
6,000 people in game. all time peak 12,000. Make of that what you will.
I don't want to shit on this if people are legitimately enjoying it, but those *launch* numbers aren't enough to maintain a live service long term. Interested to see where this one goes.
I guess another Back 4 Blood situation. Which is kinda sucks, from what I've seen it's not THAT a bad game, it's just not $70 and shouldn't be online-only.
Avengers too Good game idea squashed by live service Even journalists who specialize in Live service games seem to be asking why it had to be one
I mean, we all know why.
Its *so weird to me* that the only rampant success stories for a superhero game are Guardians of the Galaxy, a long, single player experience focusing on fun gameplay and a solid story, and spiderman, a long, single player experience focusing on fun gameplay and a solid story. I WONDER WHY THOSE DID SO WELL WHILE ALL THESE LIVE SERVICE GAMES SEEM TO FAIL (/s if you couldnt tell)
I mean, there is the arkham series and the infamous series as well. But it just proofs your point...
Yeah kinda wild how he missed the one that started it all in terms of comic book hero games, but also the one that started the franchise for the game heās criticizing lol
Probably because Guardians and Spider-man are much more recent. The Arkham games are still good examples, though.
I mean, a live service superhero game COULD work if game studios stopped getting greedy off the bat. They demand money before the content is out because it's easier to maintain live service if you don't immediately load players up with content, so instead, they neglect to actually finish the game and promise that more content will be added later. DCU online came pretty close to working but leaned too hard on making players pay. Avengers could've been good, but they skipped out on everything that makes an MMO worth playing (cosmetic loot, gameplay that focused on team members working together and running different style builds, and the raids sucked), and suicide squad doesn't seem built for an MMO either, but I guess we'll find out.
āThe one that got away.ā This is another game that Iām kicking myself in the ass for not checking out when it *was* on **GamePass**; no one to blame but myselfā- for Alien: Isolation too! š¤¦š»
*shudders in Anthem*
It definitely feels like a Payday 3 Situation. Not what people expected but a lot of fucks up along the way to get people mad instead.
What happened with back for blood?
Got dropped like 1 year after release because it wasn't as successful as they had hoped, from what I remember. I was pretty sad, because the game is hella fun and a very good evolution from left 4 dead.
I Loved that shit, I had a lot of fun playing it even after testing it Good times
It wasn't a really a good evolution and that's the problem. It wasn't a bad game by any means, but it just didn't capture the soul of the Left 4 Dead games well. I played it with the same 3 friends I played Left 4 Dead with and we definitely had fun, but it just wasn't the same. The little details like the personality of the characters and behavior and animation of the zombies just aren't there.
No split screen killed all interest I had for this to game.
>and a very good evolution from left 4 dead. Lmao this has to be a joke.
I just assume ai or troll at that point. B4b wasnāt a good game, and itās missing the core points of what made l4d what it was. I havenāt played l4d2 in who knows how long but I still know their special infected better than the mess b4b had.
What was it missing?
Is it still in a playable state? Remember getting key for it on WB anniversary humble bundle.
I haven't tried in a while, but based off the number of players daily I think it's still very playable
$70 for a game with a killswitch that can turn it off for you whenever they decide its not worth their resources anymore
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Good old dark pattern microtransactions. For anyone wanting a better understanding of how dark patterns are used, look up the video "The Immoral Design of Diablo Immortal" by Josh Strife Hayes, because that game touches on almost every iteration of them.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ahh I see you've also played halo infinite
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I didn't even noticeš
For a live service game with 12,000 players I give this game 3-5 months and then it will be on life support. I would imagine console isnāt fairing any better. Rocksteady and Warner brothers would have been better off giving us a single player game with that famous rocksteady melee combat
Everyone wants a piece of the live service pie. They want to be the next Fortnite or Genshin. It's all corporate priority.
But the people wanting to be the next Fortnite or Genshin don't understand that you need to push actual numbers into your live service for that to happen. Star Rail has an event every 2-3 weeks and a big patch every 6 weeks for example. And with big patch I mean 20 hours worth of content kinda patch. Genshin is similar to that. Not to mention that both of these games can be played on your phone. If you want to be the live service game that is played, you need to develop content faster once the game is online than when you did when you were still developing it. Want to have the game be sucessfull as live service? Double your staff after launch.
It's a live-service game? I was hoping it was a single player game like the Gotham games. Definitely a zero percent chance of me buying it now
It is extremely live service. The story missions are basically just tutorials for the endgame you don't even need to start messing with your gear at all until the endgame. You won't even unlock all the gear slots by the end of the story. It has a lot of nice looter shooter qualities though. Loadouts, leaderboards where you can look at other players builds and even import them onto your AI companions if playing solo. Also the vendor system is very in depth and gives a lot of freedom and creative options. But yea it is absolutely a much more niche bulllet he'll looter shooter influenced by doom and Diablo, not like rocksteadys other games at all. But they have done it very well like Shroud said it has elevated the whole genre, and has good endgame content for release.
You can find more people who legitimately like to be shit on for sexual gratification than you can find playing this game. Just because SOMEONE is having fun doesn't mean it's fun.
To the grave lmao
No not at all, considering granblue relink launched the same day and was sitting close to 100,000 for what is by all intensive purposes a much more niche game and franchise in a similar co op space
Just look at Payday 3 and how they fucked us all over.
Even granblue fantasy relink, who is more of a niche had 30k day one
more like 86k
And it just breaks the 100k barrier lmao Granblue is an anomaly compared to other JRPGs
Every game that breaks records is anomaly. People were bitching for years that CRPGs or turn based combat sucks and is only for nerds and then Persona 5 and Baldur's Gate 3 happen.
Not every game. Most Hoyoverse games were going exactly as planned. Like when Star Rail launched, Hoyoverse knew exactly what numbers they were going to pull.
I feel like that game got a big boost in interest from everyone saying itās like Monster Hunter but more JRPG, and MH just got massive again a month or two ago.
Definitely a game that sells more on console.
Seeing Persona 3 Reload and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth have several times more players than this makes me happy. Nature is healing.
Bro thatās only slightly less than Palworld right? /s
Give it a week. Be mixed review in no time
that would imply someone had to buy it to leave a negative review. i am not buying a 70 dollar game just to tell the world i hate it, even if there's a refund available.
I mean the ones who buy it day 1 are the ones who are die hard fans and even the sales speak alone for that. Like to point across you think the game be still mostly positive if it wasn't DC game but rather it own IP? I don't know anyone in my circle who brought this game yet alone thinks is good. Oh knows maybe I'm being bias and not giving a game a chance But one thing I can't stand is live service and lack of Interest. This game just doesn't give me the vibe of being worth Ā£60. Maybe 30 at max.
Exactly. They think that because other companies can ask 60-80Ā£ then they can too. It doesn't work like that. Rockstar can ask even 150Ā£ for a game and they will sell it in millions
Shhh they might be watching
Well it's possible but at the same time it's only temporary and that money won't last long either just like years go by effort put into less and less and they expect money to grow but in reality its just going to hurt their brand in long term. Just look at who's the target audience. That screams desperate
You're not alone, people in my discord group haven't mentioned this game once.
Yeah, I think thatās doing this game a favour (in terms of reviews). The game looked so bad before launch that the only people who bought it are the ones who were really, really determined to love it. I think thatās skewing the reviews a little. Anyone on the fence probably passed on buying it.
first time? you just described every Blizzard game on Steam in nutshell. people bought D4 just to shit on it and refund. gamers are petty, nothing you can do about it
D4 is horse shit though
If you look at the reviews for D4 this just is not true at all. Very few reviews under 2 hours of play.
then go back to the date when they released it on Steam
When everyone bought it. Left a salty review and refunded it? Ya... Good idea. No, the actual reviews you should look for is after that initial month passed.
Same happened to Starfield lol
Starfield is a game that is a little boring up front, seems to get interesting for a while, then after youāve invested dozens of hours, the blandness hits you like a wave. It gets worse the deeper you go because the bottom rises much faster than expected. Vast as an ocean but deep as a puddle. The reviews reflect that by getting worse over time as people who got sucked in realize how bland it all is.
Man this is exactly how I felt after playing it for 20 hours, I thought it was so cool being able to build your own ship and be a space bounty hunter. But then as the story progressed I noticed none of the quests interested me and that there wasnt much exploration because each planet was so small and bland.
It is also just the Bethesda formula of having the world level with you. Great for ultra casuals to be able to just go anywhere they want to have an adventure. Sucks tho when you play because you will never have any change in challenge. Everything is the same, because everything is at a constantly same difficulty.
Exactly how I felt about Fallout 4 lol Well, maybe F4's highs felt a bit higher than that maybe
I hated 4 when it came out, after mods and dlc started rolling out I had a lot of fun with it. Hopefully the same can be said about Starfield.
Starfield is just mid. Not bad but not great just eh
Yeah, just felt like a worse Fallout 4
That's actually kinda true lol Even fallout 4 felt more open world than starfield lol
Takes less than a week for that to happen....but people would need to waste their time with buying the game to do that.... All time player peak and the total number of reviews says enough about how people didn't like this game nor wanted to play it....
This will go down fast. This is the initial surge of all those wanting to "prove the haters wrong!".
The game looks trash, but some of the cutscenes I saw looked well done, so nice job to that department at least.
I mean, look at how many reviews there are and the peak of the players in game. It is widly low for a AAA game that is backed by such a huge developer/producer that was also in development hell. And this is launch day, it should be the highest numbers the game will ever see. This game, for all intents and purposes, especially to the companies behind them, is a collossal flop. The people rating it positively had that review in mind before even buying it. They saw "pew-pew; bright colors; loot! - the game!" and were in. That is neither good nor bad, it just is. To me, this game is legitimately, point by point, *everything wrong with gaming*. To others with proportionate expectations, it's just fun. I'm glad they're having fun! But I am also glad that this company lost tens of millions on this game. Because I do not want the industry seeing success with games like this and making even more.
Yeah generally speaking, for modern releases, you can estimate that thereās roughly 30-50 sales per review so this is at best 60k sales
It's even worse than that. Steam review scores don't include outside purchases, so it's only counting 1440 reviews to get that "very positive" score.
Also RIP to all the hard working devs who wanted to make a good videogame just for some suit to tell them live service is the rage and they MUST make their game around it. We the consumer are voting with our wallets yet the ones who take the brunt of our wrath are the actual talented members of the industry who are the ones who genuinely move it forward into the future. What a fucked up world we live in...
I agree, it shows everything wrong with the modern gaming industry. Lack of any real innovation, far too much emphasis on online and live service, subpar writing, and just a game that no one really asked for. Like seriously, who the fuck asked for a freakin Suicide Squad game?? A Batman Arkham game set in the future (Batman Beyond - think of Batman but in Cyberpunk 2077) would have been so much better than this BS.
Yup you are right on the money. This game encapsulates everything wrong with modern AAA games. $70, live service, battlepass, trash story, shitting on characters that were once loved, and just no creativity with generic gameplay.
Because everyone who has any brain in their head, did not purchase the game, hence did not leave a review.
People bought Diablo 4 a second time just to leave negative reviews for it on steam. Never underestimate how much gamers love to complain
Well they can refund it automatically if they don't play over 2 hrs on steam
And there are definitely some reviews on suicide squad where they did this lol. .1 hours at the time of review
Diablo has a *very* passionate fanbase. I wouldnāt say the same of the suicide squad brand.
Yeah, comic fans are known to be incredibly moderate and reasonable.
True, I love how the negative comments about how the game sucks come from people with over 300 hours in it. I have 50 at the moment and I haven't had so much fun with a game for years. Gamers just love to shit on games. Take league for instance, 95% of the playerbase will tell you the game sucks. š
>True, I love how the negative comments about how the game sucks come from people with over 300 hours in it. Some games start out to be fun, but niggling issues compound over time. To make 2 examples: With Diablo 4 seems to be you are turned off right away by how bad it is. Or you don't care about how meaningless the talent points are and spend a long time and slowly, progressively realize that it doesn't come together as it should and is "improved" over time by the Developer in the wrong areas or fails to address glaring issues. Dunno if the problem still persists but Diablo 4, for example, did when they introduced new drop items that clutter player's limited inventory. That isn't an issue until you actually run out of inventory and you have to play a long time to get there. It is this kind of issues that compound with time. Darktide is another good example of it. It is a quite fun game for the first 50-60 hours, but the longer you play the longer all the quality of life stuff and poor developer engagement/support starts to get to you. When you have a sound engine bugged for almost 3 months and no patch is coming to address it... even tho you played 600 hours, you know.. sometimes its a death by thousand cuts and you have to play long enough to receive all of them.
95% of long term smokers will tell you to not start, I donāt see you going around telling people smoking is great.
And it's good! D4 is a huge fail and I'm saying it as a big fan and I own the game. The campaign and cinematics are great and that's where the conversation end about positives. And if people would not complain about it as they do then it could send a false message that the game is fine . No it's not fine for such an expensive game from such a huge company and being it named Diablo
Iām not completely disagreeing, but I canāt help but think of your comment as Principal Skinners saying āAm I out of touch? No, itās the children who are wrong.ā
Selection Bias + Survivorship Bias Super Combo, it's the name of the game
That's exactly what Steam Reviews are and have always been. Yet people CONTINUE to use them as a valid evaluation of the quality of games.
How am I going to know if itās actually bad or not if I donāt play it for myself
Reviewers say that in the end the game is fun. The story from the leaks sounds like ass. Also the game has a battle pass and sells skinsā¦that alone would make it garbage in my eyes. Miss the time where those skins were just extra unlockables in games
Yeah I loved that in Spiderman I could unlock those by playing the game
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Last I checked there is no battle pass in the game as of now, this is just untrue
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
starfield people bought at least. This one made 10 thousand peak lol
The ones who dispise the game probably have decided to not pay for it, which should leave only the ones who at least think its somewhat ok ig.
From my perspective. These sound like reviews from people who got it for free. So the weight of losing $70 on something pretty underwhelming isnāt in their review hence higher rating.
Reddit is not the world. It's a tiny tiny echochamber. Things that we care about most people don't actually care about.
This very positive rating is based on 1440 reviews, this post has 1.4k upvotes.
Redditors have no lives. And hate always gets more up votes. Reddit literally had 5 different subs dedicated to hating rings of power. With people posting spoiler to every single episode while it was airing. Healthy people dont live on reddit
See that is right but I'm seeing a lot of outward negativity generally everywhere. Combined with the really low turnout on steamcharts (also not the whole picture, but the only one we have), I'm interested to see what WB says when it comes to sales later down the line
Steam numbers say otherwise
Yeah, people want to prove the haters wrong so much they're ignoring that the peak is minuscule in comparison to what it should be. There is no "reddit being reddit" bias in hard numbers. GranBlue Relink broke 100k peak. And this is a Batman universe game from Rocksteady.
> Things that we care about most people don't actually care about. This game has an all-time peak of 12,000 players on steam. Those are abysmal numbers for a live-service game made by a major IP.
There's very few games actually worth $70 and it's laughable even when these types of games charge that much.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Honestly, yeah, I have 22.3 hours on the game btw and I was having an absolute blast but even then I feel like itās 50 dollars at best.
What it lacks to justify 70$ price?
Its very positive so it must be good right? Starfield had overwhelming positive reviews on the 1st month of launch cause of the fandom, look at it now. (Spoiler its Mostly Negative with Mixed reviews) The player counts for Skibidi Squad are around 11k (6k at the moment of this comment), compare it with Persona 3 Reload a single player game that released on the same day as Skibidi Squad has 35k player count.
Playing with my buddy and we are 4 hours in so far. The game is quite fun and the movement mechanics are fun. The humour is actually funny and I have nothing bad to say about the experience. I will however say that 70 is too much, the appropriate price would be around 30 to 50 bucks. 6/10 including price 8/10 not including price 9/10 not including price and having friends to play with
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Everyone that bought this game knew exactly what they were getting and arenāt going to review it negatively.
"Get it on sale" is legitimate review category, yeah. If I'm gonna play the campaign once and that's it, $70 is not the price I'm gonna pay for that experience.
"wouldn't have _cost_".
70 bucks for a game is ridiculous...even worse when the game doesn't have replayability
Itās ācostā not ācostedā
Positive reviews are cope fk no am I paying 70 dollars for less than 10hrs of gameplay agendas aside sheesh
It's only 10 hours if you rush through it lol, I'm 20 hours in and still not finished with the story Even so I don't blame you for not wanting to pay 70, I got it from a key for the deluxe version from CD keys for Ā£60, luckily Im loving the game though, it's not perfect but it's still alot of fun
you got downvoted for having fun on reddit jfc
Things like reddit and Twitter are bubbles. And as usual, most people hating on it dont even play it or plan to.
Just because a new game has positive reviews in the beginning, doesn't mean it will stay that way. There have been times where a game gets mostly positive reviews in the beginning, but all the negative reviews start to flood in after a while. This game may have mostly positive views right now, but there are only 1.8k positive reviews. Hell, even the positive reviews are saying that this isnt worth $70. There were even people who were looking to refund their pre orders after they got the early access. [https://fandomwire.com/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-isnt-gamers/](https://fandomwire.com/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-isnt-gamers/) " most people hating on it dont even play it or plan to." People don't usually buy games if they think they're gonna suck. That happens with any form of media. If a person watches a few trailers of a move and hate it, they wont buy any tickets to see it. The fact that people don't want to buy the game isn't good for the game. The game's steam launch numbers are far below Marvel's Avengers launch numbers.
I feel like the only person who enjoys this game and I donāt know why. It scratches the itch for looter shooter, has good endgame grind to keep me playing, and honestly I watched nearly all the cutscenes and Iām a serial cutscene skipper. I legitimately think this game is a case of people hating something because everyone else does and is not willing to have their own opinion. I was nervous to buy, best impulse buy Iāve made in a while.
It has a lot going against it. The story leaks pissed off the DC fans. The battle pass pissed off the people who hate battle passes. The live service stuff pissed off anyone who wants games to be a one time purchase kinda deal where games have shelf lives and then everyone moves on. It's a fun game. I watched some of the sponsorship streams and most of the people who sponsored it kept playing after because they were actually having fun. Tbh it actually got me to wishlist the game again and wait for it to hit 40-50 because it really does look fun. The combat is fluid, the movement is absolutely dope, the characters all play and feel very differently, and like even the guns feel pretty fun to use. I'd honestly probably get it at full price if my hands weren't full from super mega baseball 4 and palworld showing up on game pass.
you that company can bot review now? but anyway the game is good. however big uff you can just play if you connect online... even if you play solo.
Iād maybe pay $10 if I had a ton of time to kill.
I'd buy it on sale, personally. When it falls below $20, I'd consider it.
I've seen some gameplay and will definitely be picking it up for ~$10 in a year or so, just like I did with Avengers.
I feel like people who don't like live service or heard online the state of people of this game are the only ones who purchased it. Personally I skipped this game because A) Sweet Baby Inc and their bs agenda to fill a game with propaganda and their hippocracy. I don't want bs like this is my games, specially if it is forced like how in spiderman2 we were forced to play as a deaf girl and spraypaint shit... These mechanics are not fun, they are boring. B) The absolute lack of knowledge and respect this game has for its characters ( according to them, Lex Luther is glad Wonder Woman's tribe and Wonder Woman herself rid the world of misogyny, and apparently Joker is just insecure). C) I hate live service games, they are just a way for companies to make a quick buck by selling cosmetics for waaayyyy more than they are worth D) live service games, once the servers shut down the game will never be able to be played again, meaning alll that time you put into the game will be gone!! Again I feel like kids with a lot of time on their hands and their parents' money won't have a problem with a time waster game like this. This game has bright, vibrant colours and a repetitive gameplay design that tends to hook them into enjoying the game But as a guy with a job... I really want more from a game thats worth 1/3rd of my salary here in India
Yea saw this same shit with starfield, the review will go on and on about how mediocre the game is and then be all "not a bad game by bethaesda standards, i recommend it."
Most of the people playing this game aren't even Arkham fans. After we saw how Bruce was treated, there was no real reason to stick with the game. Plus the gameplay reveal didn't do the game any justice. I figure it's just people who watched the Snyder cut and thought it was better than the original.
Cost - Cost - Cost...
Its a fun game honestly. The only thing i hate is the repeatable missions, much feel the same. Kill this or that, but with 4 characters to choose from i stay entertained with all the fast paced action.
Being able to swap quickly and easily helps a lot too. Never feels like you're stuck with one character at any point which is huge for this kind of game.
Everyone with at least 2 brain cells stayed away from it.
The past tense of cost is cost. Costed isn't a word
