Why do they act exactly like young women do in photos?
it's in millenials personality to follow the trends even if it looks cringe
just watch them immitating gen alpha in a few years
The guy in the photo is just a loser desperate for attention and validation. It wasn't a millenial that killed Rocksteady by making them create a GAAS Batman game because it was trendy when it started development.
Why does he have a woman's first name?
Who the hell names their son "Andrea"?
Italians do.
"Andrea" literally means "manly".
It comes from "Anér/Andrós", which isn't just the man but the manly man of myth.
Hence "Andropause", "Androgyne", "Andrology" which is the study of cum and balls, and "Mysandry".
"Andrea" for a woman is like calling her "Virile one".

this board fellates games like palworld. I don't think outdated game design matters to most here.
Yeah, to many nothing but trends matter.
We're not really the market for this garbage though. And that's fine, the game's success hardly hinged on our acceptance of it to begin with.
But Palworld being a giant success with both normalgays and Ganker is interesting.

None of them see anything wrong until it's their game getting the hatchet job.
i recognize that gay blowjob
This guy is the audience for gaming journalism articles. Game journos basically spend whole articles trying to justify his endless shitty jobs. Imagine that. A game so shit that even the journalist types can't defend it.
For me, it was Spore. I am sure there were bigger things in the past, but that was truly my 9/11. Started pirating everything I could, just because of that game.
It's not about the gameplay, it's about disrespecting the hecking baterino.
gollum is a literal 1/10 what the frick is this moron saying
video game review scores are so inflated these days that a game that doesn't function at all and causes your computer to catch on fire would get a 4/10
Video game reviews are practically
10/10 - great
9/10 - good
8/10 - meh
7/10 - bad
1-6/10 - shit
More like
10/10 - we got paid and we liked it
9/10 - we either got paid or liked it
8/10 - didn't get paid and didn't like it, but we still want to get review copies of future games
1-7/10 - we don't care about burning this bridge for some reason
Reminder that video games are the only category on Metacritic where the score becomes yellow at 75 while everywhere else it's 60.
its better than this game. 'throttle him' made me laugh irl
hes right places like ign will fellatio a game in their video/text review and then give it a 6/10 too much water
>80 out of 100 is gollum like score
he meant a 4 or 5 out of 10, not a 4/5
What's the difference? 4 is 4.
No, he means 4/5 out of ten or a 0.80 out of ten. A fair score in my opinion.
nobody reads game journalism anymore
we just look at the screenshots:
>same googly eyed black b***h again 0/10 not even going to bother to pirate this crap

GG won
Don't forget history, or it'll happen again.
The guy makes an extremely good point, as the man child programmer can't handle a harsh review or criticism. Just like Zoe and her ilk.
Hey newfriend, GG wasn't about some moron's inability to handle criticism. And it especially wasn't about harsh reviews, it was literally the exact opposite; overpraise in all reviews because of industry connections
GG was literally about unveiling DARPA links of mind control tactics in media lol
Started out as an expose' on journos sleeping with devs and eventually lead to the thing you're talking about right down to the massive email list and articles all coming out at the same time with similar/the same headlines and ideologues/talking points.
So I guess it WAS about ethics in video game journalism, then?
FRICKING GAMERGATE
I love when they forget to maintain the masquerade of "GG was about womyn!" when someone, hilariously a developer, dares to criticize gaming journalism (even if not women is involved at all, is still clearly GG).
>Chris plante
Kek it's that guy who shifted a celebration of a successful comet landing into a story about how the scientists shirt was sexist. The mental illness is so strong they reoccur like protagonists in a game of who can be the most subversive degenerate on the planet.
Oh yeah, the infamous ahegao shirt. I think it was designed by a woman even.
It wasn't even ahegaos, just pulp women in bikinis and whatnot.
The guy apologized and cried for it, even.
Never cave in to the mob, for them it's an admission of guilt, not an act of redemption.
Wow, that's even dumber than I remembered. Good Christ, imagine bullying him into crying over that. I hate the modern internet.

>"Fricking gamergate. Fricking review bombing right wing chuds."
I dont even believe that the sort of people that would speak out against this even like the games they defend themselves, they are just so fricking weak to have an opinion on anything that isnt glowing positivity, even when its not genuine. Its like you cant dislike something without there being some motivation beyond the quality of the fricking product anymore, there always has to be a dog whistle or secret agenda.
Every time I see this sort of discorse around a piece of media I just drop it, it always turns out in the end that it was dispossable and noone actually cared.
It's because the devs project themselves onto everyone else.
>Hmm, could they just be legit upset about the game?
>NO, they have to have an agenda to push, as I certainly do. This is a counter push against my own pushing. However, it is ineffectual and they are just mad that they lost.
Funny thing is: They're right. Dude is going "HMMMM I WONDER WHY THEY'RE SAYING OUR GAME IS BAD [IT ISN'T, JUST OUT OF FRAME]" like GamerGaters did.

AI tech bro??? ummm YIKES!!! PAY US WHAT WE'RE WORTH!!!
It's their way of saying a large company like WB shouldn't have a problem paying for a good review.
this is one of these rare moments where journos and gamers are universally hating this game because of it being a live service game and the only ones left defending it are corpo shills and braindead marvel/DC slop homosexuals.
hell the fact the game has terrible enemy variety and shitty bosses actually makes the general score much deserved.
The DC slop enthusiasts hate it too for what it does to the characters and Batman.
Nobody is liking this
why are rocksteady chuds turning on journos? i dont understand
The israelites are out for their blood, they are afraid
>spend 200m dollars on marketing
>don't send out review copies and pay off IGN
DEI marketers lol
Why do game d*velopers believe the absence of criticism means a game is a 10/10?
imagine defending these people
Now the question is, did either of these people work on the Arkham games? Or where they hired after the good games?
They were hired after the good games. She is working for like two years at rocksteady
>2 years at rocksteady
>former Ubisoft dev
that says it all really
Don't know about the second one, but Andrea's definitely a new hire. Dude's ex-Ubi, only previous titles were Ghost Recon Wildlands and Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle
All the good developers left to form a new company called Hundred Star Games. None of them worked on this piece of shit.
they left at the end of 2022, they worked on it for many years
They got a paycheck maybe but they didn't work and they left because they knew the company was done.
I don't buy that they were working on a game for 6 years and didn't do anything, especially the two founders
The new game doesn't look like 6 years of work lmao it looks like 6 months of work. And you don't just leave to form a new studio if everything is going well.
>most renowned game studios in the world
holy cope. bread line soon
Well, they used to be. Asylum changed the industry, City was GOTY and Knight if nothing else is a technical marvel (for a UE3 console game). too bad nobody responsible for those games still works at the company
>OWNING the chuds with someones else's money SLAAAAYYYY!
>...i'm also a professional.
That mindset where people think their power and competence comes from their title instead of from their personal merits is so fricking tiresome.
For them it does come from their title though. Competence had no factor in their rise in the industry.

journalists just follow trends, they don't actually review game. If its some triple a woke goyslop, they give it a 9. if its some susccessful indie that somehow sells a lot of copies they give it a 9. If players seem to express dislike about a game AND its not filled with black people, indians, homosexuals etc, then it gets a bad rating. You think they care about actually reviewing the game? They re journalists like any other, 99% of their work is to copy other articles and twist them slightly to pretend it's original.
That pic looks like buyer remorse.
Financial Suicide Squad : Kill The Studio
I've got no respect for Suicide Squad or its devs.
But reviews that of the kind
>praises the game all throughout
>gives it a shit score anyway
or
>gives it a top score
>proceeds to shit on the game all throughout the actual review
Are a problem. It's like 50% of the reason for why reviews have become useless.
The latter one is easy to understand. It happens when a publisher paid for a review score. Most contracts of that kind don't say anything about the actual text of the review, because execs know people don't bother reading them anyway and just look at the metacritic average. Thus the reviewer is free to say what they actually think.
But the former one, that I don't understand.
You want to chalk it up to some crazy conspiracy but honestly it's often time.
You write a review hot off your playthrough, compiling all the notes you took, you have to put it out asap and you try to get all the positives in there so you don't just shit all over it.
Then you spend a bit too long thinking about the game and the more you think the worse you remember it being.
No time to go back and rewrite your review, so you let your score speak for your feelings and smash it over to publishing.
You're assuming journalists think
most people are emotional morons so they cant give a worthwhile review on anything. just look at imdb, most reviews are either 10/10s or 1/10s
>just look at imdb, most reviews are either 10/10s or 1/10s
based, to the average person the only thing that actually matters is their time, and any single piece of media is either not worth their time (1) or worth their time (10), that's the only scale that matters to the non-infantilised human being
That, and people have a basic understanding of how average scores work and a will to manipulate the system. So if a person sees a game they would rate a 7/10 have an average score of 6/10, they'll give it a full 10/10 to bring the average closer to what they think it should be.
It was always at least this bad
>It was always at least this bad
No it wasn't. That's just cope.
Yeah it's never been great, but it absolutely used to be better.
The entire incentive structure back in the day of magazines was different.
The revenue stream came from magazine subscriptions. That meant that your subscribers were your #1 priority. Publishers and publisher deals could and still mattered. But most would rather piss of a publisher than piss of their subscribers.
The incentive structures today are entirely different.
Also even ignoring all that. Videogames didn't use to be reviewed on what is essentially a 100 point scale. Where anything below a 7 is seen as bad and 10s are seen as this mythical, hypothetical perfection that could not ever be reached.
Not it wasnt, game journos always had been shameless sellouts.
Thats why younger generations moved from them to youtubers and streamers because they were (at first) more sincere. Of course publishers catched wind quickly and now ensure every "content creator" gets a fat check before every big release
>Thats why younger generations moved from them to youtubers and streamers because they were (at first) more sincere.
But that was already well after the death of magazines. The paradigm shift had already happened.
Journos at their worst was probably post-magazines but pre-youtube/streamers.
That isn't to say that post-youtube/streamer journos are good. But there was a window of time in-between these two eras where they were completely unchecked. It was ridiculous.

Game journalist vs live service game developer
Talk about a fricking Sophie‘s choice
UHHH that's centrist thinking you HAVE to choose a side!!!
5/10 is average. It's not my problem completely broken games like gollum get an average score.
in the brainrotten heads of normies 7 is average nowadays and 5 is shit
At least Gollum felt like the devs were trying to make something decent
>A somewhat competent game that does nothing interesting is 5/10
Holy shit are journos growing a spine?
I wish this was the standard, it's something everyone has been asking for since the 90s.
8/10 shouldn't mean "any AAA game that doesn't straight up break and isn't a chore to play".
>Truly thinks he made a good game
And that's why these people deserve the layoffs coming to them.
4/10 is not gollum level. Damn I love not being a moron like most people.
Gollum is a 2/10 game so stop crying.
You realize the industry is shit when developers are responding like little b***hes to criticism.
Even I, as an amateur hentai game developer, have more professionalism than these guys. Incredible.
These developers thought it was okay to go against their old consumers and that all they need was to follow social media trends to sell a live service scam.
All they managed was to piss their old audience while failing to get a foot in the new market, now they react like cheating b***hes after they got handed the divorce papers
>their old consumers

Andrea Tucci never worked on any Rocksteady game before Suicide Squad. He was hired in 2018 after months of unemployment. His previous job was being a Gameplay Programmer on Ubisoft's Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle: Donkey Kong Adventure DLC.
yikes lots of male names in that image, that was very problematic! but I'm glad they got rid of many of them to let rocksteady become more diverse

This is discrimination. I'm so fricking sick and TIRED of these sexist dudebro game dev companies not allowing women to program. These technical pathways at colleges need to offer MORE assistance and scholarships for people of wombs, and then companies need to fricking HIRE THEM!!
My sister graduated from a software dev degree over a year ago and still hasn't been able to get a job but every single guy in her class has got a job. She was the only girl in the class.
it happens when you suck
Your sister probably spent a lot of time under someone's desk.
She was dating some moron chad guy doing a business degree the whole time she was in college
Is she even trying? They have to hire a certain number of females, and there are way more male and female applicants, so chicks have a huge advantage there. I've worked a few different jobs that required (or aimed for) a 50/50 split of male/female. In every one, skilled and experienced dudes get turned down in favor of bottom of the barrel chicks in order to reach the quote. For equality or something. I mean some of the chicks were good, but most were not.
She told me she has applied to like 100 companies over the last year and most don't get back to her at all. She got to 2nd round interviews with one last week and this is the 1st time she has got that far with any of them.
maybe she need to work on her resume or something. Is her name androgynous? Does it sound like a girl's name?
Her name is extremely girl sounding. You would never ever think its a mans name.
I can't believe they got rid of Abelardo.
They didn't.
>used to work for Ubisoft
Well, that makes sense then.
What does the Red X mean compared to the red asterix? Does Red X mean they never worked on SS whatsoever?
It means they weren't credited on the game.
You are based for going to the effort of doing all this work btw
Thanks! I'm a huge Batman fan and Rocksteady's Arkham trilogy felt like a gift from heaven. My autism demanded to know where it all went wrong.
You should do like a % breakdown of the people who worked on Arkham Asylum vs Suicide Squad and maybe the same thing for Arkham Knight vs Suicide Squad if you are interested in doing more autism.
Sure, when I have the time.
Thanks

The competency crisis is upon us.
Yeah, it's still all fun and games (no pun intended). Can't wait until there's more bridges and skyscrapers built and designed by these people.
There are some beautiful bridge in the US. The people that built them will soon be regarded as atlanteans or ancient romans. We're going to get some IRL fallout 3 soon enough.
he has a point, it does have some weirdly low undeserving scores
was watching some gameplay, outside of some questionable design decisions and it being the epitome of 'game made by the suits not the developers' it looked fun. kinda reminded me of old AA shit like crackdown
Obviously IGN is just beating on a dead horse to gain cool points, that nutcase Jim Sterling does it for a living.
But when even IGN is shitting on your game you know you fricked up big time
>But when even IGN is shitting on your game you know you fricked up big time
More like didnt pay them a ransom to get positive coverage like sony. Also sterling is such a frickign autists that cries and spergs out when a game dares to have any carying limit and stuff like that.
>looters shooter gaas garbage
It deserves even lower scores
they praise almost every aspect of the game that isnt the shitty story, the shitty characters, the boring repeated gameplay and the monetization, the fact that each alternative costume costs 15 bucks and there are only 3 costumes per player, the ending being a shitty sequel twist and the absolute LACK of end game content that isnt just repeated missions from the base game
but they praised everyhting else
A game is the sum of its parts. Even if every part works in a vacuum, there is no guarantee the whole matches the expected quality for the price.
He's right, for the wrong reasons, but every bit counts against the journo menace
Based tbh
The problem with reviers is they try and and look at these things from a highly objective standpoint.
Would be like eating a 10/10 apple but deducting points becuase the packaging was weird, the shop smelt funny and someone called you applehead while you were eating it so it only gets 4/10.
>food analogies
It would be like having sex with your mum but ranking it lower becuase it produced you then

way too busy
He is right though, the gameplays is GOOD!
holy goyslop, who thought it was a good idea to have the game look like someone ate radioactive skittles and projectile vomited on the screen?
They are just trying to drown the mundanity of copypaste rooftop shootouts in sparkly visual clutter.
It seems such a fricking waste that the game seems to be 90% a shooting gallery where you might as well just stand still and point at purple enemies, the stylish movement options seem to be just decorative and unnecessary to actually win the fights too.

dang battleborn is looking wack
Sad that no one involved seems to have realized how fricking lame it is having a giant humanoid shark as a character when he just flies around with a jetpack and shoots guns like everyone else
Of all the games to copy they choose deply cursed warframe (kept alive by adverts and micro transactions) gameplay and bordermeme wonderland (failed to be kept alive by adverts and micro transactions) visuals.
tbf warframe made a lot of money and had a lot of good will before it fell into the soulless cashgrab trap.
suicide squad started at soulless.
Hai means shark in estonian!
MMOs and BIG NUMBERS have been a disaster on shooters and really gaming as a whole
The only thing missing is "ALL UNITS BE ADVISED--FEMINISM IS AWESOME!"

This is just Doom Eternal in 3rd person.
Nah, the enemies aren't a threat and the gameplay is really boring

This game looks like it could have been okay if it wasn't such a fricking mess visually. And also if it had a better premise instead of the typical subversive israelite bullshit.
What the hell went wrong with AAA U.I design???
Literally lots of people who become interested in vidya because it's mainstream af now, and early parents whose kids know "fortnite", so the bar has been reset to a really low standard by millenials
And Fortnite became famous because it avoided review scores by releasing as an early access game with a free-to-play Battle Royale mode.
I played through Agents of Mayhem last year, this looks exactly like it, jut with worse art direction. It is so fricking generic.
what the frick is happening
>a game so zoomerified that even zoomers don't like it
This is literally every zoomer game and I'm surprised it doesn't get called out more.
>I'm surprised it doesn't get called out more.
Because zoomers grew up on Fortnite, which shit like Suicide Squad is openly, desperately trying to emulate. They're never going to call this out on being awful because it would basically mean admitting their entire generation is built on ADHD garbage that defined their whole childhoods.
>because it would basically mean admitting their entire generation is built on ADHD garbage
Or maybe they just don't know any better
Wow thanks I can't see shit
An industry that never learns anything
I mean, shit, as hideous as it is, I can at least tell what's going on there.
this is what happens when you work in a studio with a womyn who does all the ui design and effects but no one is allowed to ask her to tone it down a bit because of fear of sexual harassment allegations.
Battleborn is the epitome of readability compared to this shit
No wonder why the Rocksteady founders left.
This is truly the difference between western and eastern game developers. I have never seen a Japanese developer be so brazen as to say the gamers are wrong for not liking a game.
most game reviews don't even operate on a true 1-5 or 1-10 scale because they're too afraid to use low numbers
>gollum is a 4-5/10 game
who's this fricking moron?
90% of people see a score that is under 7/10 and they instantly presume it is unplayable dogshit. 7/10 is the universal "below average" grade thanks to review score creep where games tend to get 8/10 for just being functional.
why the frick does no one ever talk about the gameplay, IT IS A FRICKING VIDEOGAME STOP TALKING ABOUT THE SHITTY STORY OR OTHER SHIT. Gameplay is hot garbage btw, probably the worst GAAS out there
Because the videogame industry got filled with idiots that don't play videogames and instead use the medium as a way to push their failed dreams at being scriptwriters.
How is it that the games industry has gotten flooded with wannabe scriptwriters and the writing has gotten even worse (it was already quite bad)
millennials, leftist academia, and esg
You know how we used to have OC DONUT STEEL fanfic about characters written by 15 year olds who flanderized characters to what they thought it was cool?
This is exactly what's going on with current writers. They don't understand the characters or the story they are writing. They have no story to tell. No real purpose aside from thinking they can improve upon established media. They don't respect the source material or the creators because they think that since they spent 100k on college, they know better.
Do these people even like DC comics and video games? They really can't look back at what the made and think maybe they fricked up?
>Do these people even like DC comics and video games?
no
>Do these people even like DC comics and video games?
The majority of these people handling popular franchises either hate them and are only just finding out about them for the assignment.
They really hate the fanbases not because they do anything particularly wrong but they're too male or too white.
How is this even a question? They hate those characters because they are liked by heterosexual men. Same with ideogames original characters, same with characters from movies, tv or whatever. Batman or harley themselves are completely irrelevant. Batman is liked by straight men, so, it must be destroyed. Harley was infected and is now a symbol because she is powerful women who needs no man, so, she must be celebrated.
Would be cool if IGN maintained this new standard of not giving mediocre games a 7 or 8 out of 10 and giving them 4 or 5 out of 10.
The 1-10 system sucks. The 4 star system actually challenges the reviewer to have an opinion. A 6/10 has been considered a bad game for a long time but those were probably more like 2 out 4 stars games
Even that soi homosexual greg miller said he is giving the game a 2 out of 5. When someone like that hates your game this much you know you fricked up.
>Gameplay AI programmer
He honestly did a good job.
ADD simulator
I'm surprised I can see what's going on and I'm not blinded by overly-flashy skill effects
This gameplay would look alot less shit if it was more musou than bullet sponge enemies. Ten seconds to kill 3 enemies.
What the frick is that, i dont even care about woke or whatnot, but that looks like shit, not even weebcore games looks that bad.
>What the frick is that
Next gen gameplay baby!
they're just uh standing around shooting I guess?
>we need all the colors on the screen, all the time.
This is my first time seeing the gameplay this shit looks like discount Overwatch or Valorant gameplay
Doom Eternal sisters?
>get player location
>calculate vector from enemy to player
> tell enemy to shoot
he must be a genius
Did you want them to clap or something?
>not sure I will even trust ... journalists again
fricking gamergater INCEL
We need to assemble a list of game developers that are still able to make good games. So many have gone to shit in the last decade. I'll start:
Nintendo
Capcom
From Software
I want to say Fatshark but they don't deserve it
I bet the resetera thread about this is funny as they wont know who to support the game dev or the game journalists.
>1-10
>1-5
>whatever
These scales are useless and bullshit. The only "scale" that matters is 0 or 1. Is it good, or not? Did you enjoy playing it, or not? Nobody gives a frick about your deep dive analysis of the various components of the game. It doesn't fricking matter if the story is good but the graphics suck, or the music is terrible but the gameplay is excellent. I don't care. When you play a game, you're not interacting one-on-one with these various sub-elements, you're interacting with the game as a whole, so that's all that fricking matters.
Is it good, or bad? That's it. Are you dead, or are you alive?
He would have given gollum a 4-5/10? That buggy barely playable shitheap is to him an average to below average game?
SS is double the average of Gollum so what is he talking about?
Gollum probably has more soul than Suicide Sq-ACK
It doesn't really matter. The damage has been done. Future games are all going to be cheap early access and free-to-play garbage from now on.
>Now that you've completed the 5 hour story, you can grind the same 3 mission types with the same 3 enemy types for thousands of hours!
I don't know why the devs expected positive reviews. It's one of the most bland and half-assed games I've seen in a long time.
Rocksteady should've bought some reviews
what is this c**t talking about?
I've been reading some of the 40-50 reviews and they do shit like calling the missions repetitive and boring, calling the combat bad, and calling the bosses shit. Like the only thing I see "journalists" praising often is shit like the voice acting and writing (lol), and at the end of the day that doesn't matter if the game is shit
Twitch killed the market for anything that isn't e-sports. Microsoft should have gone ahead with the plan to charge streamers licensing fees. Silent Hill 2 will probably be the next major bomb.
only in the gaming industry to people embrace and encourage abuse of the customer
you made a shit game
people called it out for being shit
deal with it
Yes, you can like a good portion of a game then have all of that be overshadowed by other shitty aspects.
And the nerve to bring Gollum into it.
Does he know he might end up like the Gollum devs?
midwit writing, probably struggles to comprehend algebra. inclusivity has ruined everything.
>games have become so unbelievably shit that the incestuous relationship between western studios and game journos is crumbling
Love to see it
Isn't suicide squad a gollum-like game, tho?
>AI programmer
>enemies mostly just stand still and shoot at the player
is this a troony? his name should be Andre if he was a male
this is like a guy being named elizabeth
you just know he'd be a fricking weirdo
To be fair, these same sites reviewed palworld and gave it a higher score even though it’s jankier and unfinishedier.
>stellar graphics
>good gameplay
>singleplayer live service game which fails if THEIR servers are overloaded
>wtf why is our game getting bad reviews?!?!!
>stellar graphics
Where?
Selling gollum a bit harshly, it's got loads more entertainment value than suicide squad kek.
