don't
The perception of the gaming community being cynical, jaded, and influenced by irony can vary depending on individual experiences and perspectives. While it's true that there are segments of the gaming community that may exhibit those characteristics, it's important to remember that the gaming community is diverse and multifaceted.
Whether a Superman game would be well-received within the gaming community depends on various factors, including the quality of the game, the execution of the Superman character, and the overall gameplay experience. There have been successful superhero games in the past, such as the Batman: Arkham series, which have garnered critical acclaim and a positive response from gamers.
Superman, as an iconic superhero, has the potential to provide an enjoyable gaming experience if the game mechanics, storytelling, and character development are executed effectively. However, it's worth noting that creating a compelling Superman game can be challenging due to the character's immense power and the need to balance gameplay mechanics.
Ultimately, the reception of a Superman game within the gaming community would depend on the quality of the game itself, rather than any preconceived notions about the community's cynicism or jadedness.
Why would you use ChatGPT to write a comment on Ganker?
I did it the other day in a thread about what game world would you live in for the rest of your live. Everyone was saying Pokemon and I was trying to convience them that Bloodborne would be the best.
you're only convincing us ur an underage moron if you think chat GTP answers are not OBVIOUS
if your'e too stupid to form your own opinion, then just listen instead of making this board worse than it already is.
No shame in lurking anon.
But comics are literally the most cynical jaded shit around?
No. He's just boring and overpowered. Superman is the most boring character in all of fiction and can't even carry his own movie. He's an outdated relic like Mickey Mouse and Tarzan. Yeah, everybody knows who they are but nobody really gives a shit about them. The only "fans" he has left are contrarians that only pretend to like him so they can feel special.
>can be taken out by a mid tier villain with ice powers
>overpowered
He's as overpowered as whatever writer wants him to be. Since DC basically gives zero restrictions to their writers, they can decide he's weak or powerful whenever they want.
>L-LEAVE YOU P-POOPY HEAD
You will never be a janny
Who are you quoting?
thats not reddit idiot, thats just facts. it's the same thing that ruins cancerous shitty DnD official lore
"oh and on this plane where the gnomes live, the resources are infinite, there is infinite productive and mineral rich land in all directions, so no one fights" yet somehow, the gnomes don't grow infinitely large and takeover the entire multiverse. or dbz where goku can now blow up a solar system instead of just a planet.
dumb shitty writing always ignores limitations and doesn't understand scarcity/limits/vulnerabilities are what make things interesting, not unlimited power.
Im guessing your a personagay?
Mickey has enough of a well-developed cast around him to be forever relevant.
Mickey is relevant because multiple multi billion dollar theme parks have him plastered everywhere.
>No. He's just boring and overpowered. Superman is the most boring character in all of fiction
you're describing batman. batman is now a mary sue who won't even kill the joker
superman is more "human" than batman ever was
The problem with Batman is that he's supposed to be the world's greatest detective but how the frick is he supposed to do that when all his foes are morons with obvious tells?
>Oh shit someone robbed the bank but only stole the coins, better check in on ol' Harvey
>Oh shit someone left a Riddle? Better check on ol' Ed
>Someone got attacked by an Alligator man? Gee I wonder who the frick that could be?
Props to Batman TAS for actually trying the "detective" part. Like even when the Joker was involved sometimes it wasn't open and shut (Like one episode had a guy piss joker off on purpose as an insurance scam)
poorly written, uninteresting, even by comic book standards of writing (which are almost as low as gaming).
this. oooh he cannot die and does anytihng. the only thing ever to come out of superman is pic related
Superman, classic Mickey, and Tarzan are all immensely based. You have to he a Black person to NOT like them.
Funny enough, most melanin enriched people I know think Superman is cool because he can do whatever the frick he wants but is still chill.
Most gamers cannot accept the concept of a good man, raised by two parents who wants to actually go out and save people whether it be something as mundane as helping a family cross the street or defeating armed thugs. If its not Kratos disemboweling people while being depressed over his murderous antics or a generic FPS hero like Master Chief then it means nothing to them. Superman is too good for most capsshit fans, let alone people on the same level as playing Genshin, Fortnite or CoD.
nah but he'd need to be facing some adversity. not in an edgy "AHHH I NEED TO CRUSH CRIMINALS INTO GORE" sort of way like injustice, but coming to grips with some kind of existential dilemma.
>not in an edgy "AHHH I NEED TO CRUSH CRIMINALS INTO GORE"
That's literally all super hero shit is these days, though?
Not at all. Just give him powerful enemies like Zodd or Darkseid so he can fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way as God intended.
No, people are just too uninformed to realize the solutions to all the problems that people think Superman stories have already exist
>nerf him to animation levels to give him an Arkham style game
>overpower him like crazy like Superman Beyond and make an Undertale style morality game where the challenge is holding back
>make him powerful like his regular comics but have him go up against equally powerful people and play up the action in a character action game
But this kind of thing doesn't pop into the heads of someone that just watches movies, they just think that the only way to do Superman is the Reeve movies (the focal point of which was literally romance)
>they just think that the only way to do Superman is the Reeve movies (the focal point of which was literally romance)
Clearly the best Superman game is a VN where we can choose between Lois, Lana or that mermaid from the silver age. Hidden route is Power Girl.
Here's your kino Superman game
Was this as good as the Xmen Legends games?
>Xmen Legends
>good
pick one
DC heroes was much, much better than a lot of the PS2 capeshit
>inb4 but muh spooderman
I said 'a lot' not 'all', you moron
Let me guess, you want more?
Honestly if they made it like the new cartoon I think it could work well. Early Superman, where he hasn't absorbed enough sunlight to reach his comic book peaks and isn't an established journalist yet and is just figuring out what it means to be "Superman".
Frick off. Go make a Danny Phantom game instead. Stop trying to make Superman something else.
>unambiguous good guy who just selflessly saves people without also secretly being a vainglorious butthole, a corporate bootlicker, or a sexual deviant
The capeshit industry itself is too cynical, jaded and poisoned by irony for Superman.
>without also secretly being a vainglorious butthole, a corporate bootlicker, or a sexual deviant
No need to take a shot at every X-men like that
>Implying the game wouldn't be jaded cynical shit instead of inspirational
Silly anon
Not quite. The community is not a monolith. There are jaded, cynical people poisoned by irony. There are people that are the reverse of it...and some in the middle.
So no. There are people who'd love a proper Superman game.
Injustice is garbage because the concept of a Superman turning evil is moronic and always was.
If mainline Supes were to be subjected to the same bullshit then he wouldn't turn evil and instead he would've sucked Joker into the Phantom Zone.
Then again Injustice Supes turned like that due to the lack of support from Batman and this Wonder Woman being an arse manipulator of a Lady Macbeth.
Superman
he strong
he fly into space
fight ayyliums
make game
not hard
I want to frick Lois Lane.
>
Wonder Woman is a weird character to yaaas on since she is a psychopath who has tried to take over the world multiple times and I honestly don't get why the League keeps her around
Theres nothing feminists would love more than to personally have the power to slaughter everyone who disagrees with them and assert their worldview onto anything in existence.
I think those are just your personal beliefs m8
Been doin that a long time since she's been this way a minimum of 3 decades
>she's been this way a minimum of 3 decades
Not really. WW is easily the most inconsistent of the big 3 at DC. The WW you get is entirely dependent on who's writing her. Thats true of all characters but especially her.
Because she's a womyn, and an established hero that whoever-still-reads-this-shit won't just disregard on glance, so the industry keep her around as a tool to spread propaganda as usual.
they want a personal cumdump
Like with most things comics it depends on the writer.
Wonder Woman at her best is capable of showing mercy and is a loving person. Unfortunately most people writer her as a habitual neck snapper and brutal warrior.
Yeah but she constantly mentions that it takes a lot of effort from her to show mercy. She's practically a Goddess, and a goddess of war.
Say what you will about JL and JLU's plots but it had some really good character moments.
Or worse, a statutory rapist. I hate WW84
Context? Is there where Superman turns le evil because Lois died or something?
>SuperMAN
Triggered
If anything everthing is so oversaturated with cynicism and whatnot that a properly made Superman game would be considered a breath of fresh air, story-wise.
>a properly made Superman game
Who would make a genuine, wholesome game about Supes being a good man through and through
No, I think Batman and Justice League are just safer properties to make games for from an upper management POV.
No.
In fact doing Superman right and making him a big wholesome lug who saves old grannies and kittens would actually be the most original game in long time.
God I wish
lmao
>mission: save the neighbours dog! he's stuck in the fence!
>guess you smelled what was cooking in the ol bbq huh fella? here have a bite
>mission accomplished
it would be pure kino if it was just a hundred of those and nothing edgy, you wouldn't even need superpowers for some of it.
I didn’t understand Superman 64, but I still enjoyed the mindless fun.
Ganker is all that for a superman show
There is a reason other boards call it Gankermblr.
>a consistent stream of villains that can challenge him
You lost me I want to verbally spar with Luthor and be invincible to small arms fire
I just want to say that i really like Superman: for All Seasons. Thank you very much
It's not like Ganker is perfect either
Ganker and Ganker are both equally shit for different reasons. Ganker is /b/ 2.0 and consumed by culture war politics, their own elitism over games they dont even play and and porn. Ganker is tumblr 2.0 and comsumed by culture war politics, their own elitism over childrens media thats generally shitty and porn. Horseshoe theory is real.
Let's ignore Superman's supposed invincibility for one second.
Is it possible to make an open world game (which is what it would be, let's be real) with infinite flight?
That seems like a much bigger issue than how strong Superman is (which could be solved in a wide variety of ways e.g. kryptonite).
What exactly is wrong with Superman just being a good guy that embodies the best traits of humanity?
Most people would sooner leave their own family to rot than ever altruistically offer another human aid.
>Is the gaming community too cynical, jaded and poisoned by irony for a Superman game?
No, you dumb frick. The "gaming community" doesn't give a shit. if the game is fun, they play it, if the game sucks, they don't play it.
What you have to be worried about isn't the "gaming community", you double speak proto marxist collectivist frick. What you have to be worried about is pic related.
>AHHH A HUITE MAIL
>AHHH DA HUITE PATRIARCHI
>AHHH DA HUITE SUPREME PIZZA
>AHHH ANUDA HUITE MAIL GAME
I think the better game will be if you dont play as superman but you play as customized, less powerful superman's sidekick and basically your job will be assisting superman by for example fighting with villains grunts while superman fights the main villain.
