I know absolutely nothing about this game or justice league, can somebody explain to me what's woke about it? Like is it in the game content or was the dev team just diverse and brave?
The Suicide Squad literally shit and piss on the corpses of the Justice League EXCEPT Wonder Woman because she's a woman of color, instead they all figuratively tip their fedora to her sad demise.
Also Lex Luthor's notes are all stereotypical male commentary degrading women and people of color with heavy emphasis he's a conservative.

Nah, it's still correct, but they added a third tribe of Amazons based in Brazil that just happened to be there so they can say 'muh diversity' and have her take over Wonder Woman's mantle one day. Pretty much just Miles Morales type bullshit

The homosexual troony logo makes it easy to know if the comic is recent.
I was being facetious. Normally I would call you a massive sperg, but given this board has been infested with discord lardos for a the past few years I guess I can't blame you for thinking I was serious.
Wokism is broadly describable as a movement loosely focused on "depowering the majority", usually an ethnic group. But it can also mean things like a voting block, a widespread religion, law enforcement, a gender or just a commonly held opinion that is perceived as negatively affecting any one minority. A game that portrays men or the entire human race as the bad guys is something that you can usually call woke.
As for examples from Suicide Squad, if you want a direct example, the biographies of the Justice League would be a good place to start. They are all rather negative (with one exception) and a lot of them don't sound like something Lex Luthor would ever write. The Green Lantern is lambasted for being a "Cop" and Lex goes on a massive soliloquy about how justice only serves itself in his bio.
The Wonder Woman bio is just bizarre. It sounds like something a 3rd wave feminist would write and has none of the negatively the other heroes are given.
>A game that portrays men or the entire human race as the bad guys is something that you can usually call woke.
Frick me I never realized why I hate so much shit these days, it's why i've never been able to get into the james cameron avatar films despite really liking the visuals and pacing.
Lex Luthor using the term "toxic masculinity" is pretty funny. I guess the writers couldn't be bothered to watch a few episodes of the 90's Superman cartoon.
I know absolutely nothing about this game or justice league, can somebody explain to me what's woke about it? Like is it in the game content or was the dev team just diverse and brave?
>All the Justice League members get killed in humiliating and cruel ways, their bodies are defaced and desecrated >All except one
Anon, you will never, ever be able to guess which one of the Justice League is treated with respect and reverence, gets a heroic death and doesn't have their body desecrated.
Nothing really, the writing is just turbo shit >harley is obnoxious and her VA is dreadful >the shark is just pretending to be Drax from GotG so hard it hurts >the aussie is just there to have a fake aussie accent and make kangaroo jokes >the other one is there to say muh cool black man lines while being absolutely useless
The story and plot are atrociously bad, the gameplay is a slog of everything wrong with modern gaming.
Im not saying it doesnt have woke stuff, it probably does, I dunno im not touching it to find out. But people are dropping the game regardless of if it has woke or not, its just that shit
>im not touching it to find out
plenty of videos covering all the woke shit out there if you care to look, not that you'd waste your money on this shit anyways.

Is Suicide Squad even popular among that crowd?
Like in Forza Horizon there are options for your 3D avatar. One white guy options, girl, asian, Black. Game is full of pushing "diversity", mystery meat NPCs shoved down you throat (game is set in Scotland and Britain BTW).
In online 80% have white guy avatar, others run girl avatar and it's probably just guys make ragebait cosmetics builds
Very vocal people on twitter and in de media.
But as it turns out, that is just a very small minority of the people and not something you should base your business model on.
People already have this game, its called fortnite, or any other shooty gaas slop they've invested in
We've reached the point where people won't invest in another but these studios keep attempting to force a new one
Games as a Service models are dying rapidly, so all of the games that were planned as such 3-4 years ago are coming out when there's massive fatigue on the model and are basically doomed to fail. You can laugh that studios essentially burned millions of dollars on a trend
>You can laugh that studios essentially burned millions of dollars on a trend
I'm tired of laughing at this kind of fruitless pursuit. This sort of waste going unchecked is what's going to doom us. Not because of video games specifically, but that kind of mentality is not unique to the video game industry.
I really hope that Bungie focus testing Marathon and every person who played it saying they had no interest in continuing to play it lead to them second-guessing the whole project.
Marathon needs to simply be
3 to 4 hour campaign
Tarkov extraction mode
Halo style matchmaking that cleverly and efficiently reuses parts of campaign levels/extraction level as maps like Reach did.
moron execs were too money hungry to realize a very easily observable truth that there's a finite cap on the market for games as a second job, and if your shit isn't pulling eyes off of Fortnite and the other behemoths all you're going to be left with are scraps.
>how are mmos folding so quickly, especially when its marvel shit
Saturated market (games as a service AND marvel shit)
and in this particular case, the rise of anti-woke sentiment combined with this game's mean spirited treatment of its setting and characters
The thing is there absolutely was a demand for live service coop shooter that the butchered Suicide Squad into lmao
Look at Helldivers 2
The thing is, the game just sucked
>didnt this JUST come out? how are mmos folding so quickly, especially when its marvel shit
In this case? About 10 hours of content, and by the end of those 10 you have been grinding the same shit for 7
Free to play mobile games like Honkai StarRail come out with more content in first version, this is a joke.
I dont think anybody, not even the devs can answer how the "live" part in the live service here was supposed to work, what were people supposed to even do?
-No raids
-1 enemy fraction
-only 11 unique enemies split in only 3 categories >no non story bosses, its just basic enemies
-poor mission variety
-zero weapon variety
-no hero variety ( the failed marvels avebngers had 12 unique characters or something )
-every hero plays the same
-storymode is extremly short
Like what were people supposed to do between seasons?
Even ignoring questions on how good the game is, why didnt they look at Destiny, Warframe and the ancient WoW and just copy the mission structure?
There's only 3 hours of cutscenes, the total hours is 10. The final boss is a reskin and asset reuse of The Flash. Suicide Squad is a short live service game with even shorter narrative and only 4 boss fights, a 5th being asset flipping as the final boss (lol). For tie record Arkham Origins has the best capeshit boss fights.
>the failed marvels avebngers had 12 unique characters or something
Avengers only launched which six characters. >Kamala >Iron Man >Captain America >Hulk >Thor >Black Widow
Several months later they added Kate Bishop, and then several months after that they added Hawkeye. Then it took them either six or eight months to do a "relaunch" of the game with Black Panther which was effectively the most players the game had. Then like six or so months later Playstation got Spidey (No other platform which is why Playstation is the only one even worth playing if you do care), people complained incessantly because Xbox and PC got nothing for all that time, and then Jane Foster came out maybe six months later. Then right before it died they released Winter Soldier.
Jane Foster and Winter Soldier were both "echo" characters like in Smash. JF was just Thor but melee oriented and her moves outside of her ult was Thor's. Winter Soldier was just Black Widow + Captain America with an assault rifle.
Yeah, I didn't mean to disparage it. The game had problems but outside of Jane Foster and Winter Soldier the characters and how they played was not one of them. Everyone barring Hulk and Captain America played great.
Avenger's had such an ass roster, it's insane. The MCU did irreparable damage to capeshit vidya. Say what you want about the Midnight Suns game, but at least that game had an interesting roster that wasn't just MCU reps.
normal people stick to 1 gaas at for example if people playing genshin on PS5 there is no way you can sway them to another live service game and you dont need ps+ to play genshin too
At this point all the people who are interested in live service garbage have a live service game they're addicted to and the very nature of live service means those people don't have time to play other games. Basically, there's no more fish in the barrel to shoot. Suicide Squad is also a genuinely bad game so nobody is going to abandon their game to go play it.
> Industry huffs copium thanks to fortnite and destiny and think they have an easy moneymaker in the form of GAAS > They heavily invest in it by making live service games by making them out of their own IPs, making a new IP or licensing one > It turns out that besides the usual massive costs of development, they now have to support the always-online servers of a thing that needs constant updates > Also they by design require a lot of time and attention by players and the fact that they are all just the same genre of games, it turns out that releasing a bunch of them close to one another means that the releases are cannibalizing each other's players counts, which wouldn't happen if they were simply from different genres > Result: companies spend a lot of money in several expensive projects that quickly got outed as crappy products, and then they usually are canned and the servers shut down in a few years if they're lucky > The continuing nonsense caused by it causes even normies to get sick of GAAS, causing new releases to flop even harder (The Suicide Squad game peaked far BELOW the Avengers one) >It's gotten to the point live service games are now being cancelled before they even released (Join the ACK) because they're so damn unprofitable >Not only that but the massive flops led massive layoffs all across the industry, just because they thought live service was the future
At least this one had the decency to get out the door before dying. Live service is a market more saturated than a shitty Skyrim ENB and has been on the way out for a year now.
It did. The problem is that this game became yet another target for butthole gamers and YouTubers to make fun of because of some story issues and some awkward models. No one in the gaming community has any empathy for anyone working on games. Sadly you can spend several years of your life working tirelessly on a project and some twerp on the Internet can make fun of it.
I feel for the people at Rocksteady. There are a lot of good folk there.
>Surely these developers and studios will learn their lesson after making flop number 192822911!!!!
They'll keep blaming chuds and not change a single fricking thing.
FIFA sells like 20 million copies annually. Madden around 10 million copies. Then microtransactions. Those 2 games are like $1 billion in microtransactions above the actual game sales. $2 billion from 2 games annually.
>EA could kick the bucket
Lol. Lmao even.
The Madden train rolls on. I'll be interested to see if the change from FIFA to 'EA FC' actually impacts earnings
>but some old titans like EA could kick the bucket soonish
They always have madden to fall back on, it sells millions every year no matter what which is how they've survived despite putting out massive flops for years on end over and over again.
Doubt it
Big publishers are downsizing and closing down failed studios but they still have their big money maker IPs so I doubt we will see major players in the industry dying off
At the very least there won't be as much garbage being funded
They're cutting all the chaff so there won't be another crash. This is the industry hard correcting itself after years of gross mismanagement and bloat.
I wish.
If i had to guess companies probably over hired during the pandemic years and now that a bunch of projects didn't work out they are firing everyone not related to the ones that worked out. Keep in mind that companies are reporting record profits because the small handful projects that do work out cover the costs of the ones who don't.
>It was their fault some idiot who makes more money then all of them combined forced them to make a game like.
Why do you defend executives who make these awful decision?
Honestly they are forcing EACHOTHER to develop only wokie trash with their own cucked liberal lifestyle.
The execs where just the ones foolish enough to actually put the ingredients for that sort of poisonous wienertail into one office building

Muh evil capitalists just follow where the money is. Liberals wanted bloated gay slop and produced bloated gay slop and that's what we got. Now that nobody wants that anymore or rather the money of the people demanding it dried up it's all crashing down. They literally dug their own graves
I'm not blaming people making money of the trannies. I'm blaming trannies
Because I’m so fricking sick of this gay Reddit response every time. “Noooo the devs can’t be shit at their jobs!!!! It was all those evil suits who told them what to do!!!!”
It’s fricking gay man. Tell that to the guy who just got rich by making Balatro. Most of these devs have absolutely 0 talent and I’m sick of morons pretending that a bunch of diversity hires would suddenly develop the ability to make good games.
They made sarah bond xbox president, inmediatly announced they'll start porting xbox games to other platforms and which will porbably kill xbox consoles for good so yeah this checks out
Better management without diverse staff bloat, and Japanese companies massively benefit from paying their employees in yen while selling their products mostly in dollars and euros.
>all that delusion
It's fricking illegal in Japan to do layoffs. How the frick did you not hear about "demoted to a janitor and made miserable so he leaves on his own" Japan work culture? They can't fire people without getting fricked by the government.
>It's fricking illegal in Japan to do layoffs.
No it's not.
They have stronger worker protections laws than America, but so does the EU and Australia and people still get fired, same as in Japan. SEGA and Snoy both laid off plenty of people.
Better management without diverse staff bloat, and Japanese companies massively benefit from paying their employees in yen while selling their products mostly in dollars and euros.
They are. Sega and Snoy have laid off staff globally, and most major JP publishers have faced layoffs of at least some reduction.
Nintendo is pretty much the only exception, both in their Japan offices and abroad.

DC is on shaky ground anyways and then Spider-man 2 happened so... why didn't they make me want to buy it? That's their job, right?
No clue about LE (or even what the acronym is) but Helldivers 2 at least has a reason to be GAAS and does it in a way that benefits gameplay (players having an effect on a larger war) and the monetization isn't egregious as of yet.
Suicide Squad is GAAS for bullshit reasons to try and squeeze money out of redditors
There goes another Live Service game that failed utterly, wonder how many more will take until they stop that trend
I mean its like what, second such game in the Arkham franchise? Does anyone even remember the uhhh...what was its name, the one where you play as Batmans sidekicks taking over for him
>It was a live service game
Being this fricking lazy at tax evasion (wah we lost money plz don't tax us) should be punishable by wiener and ball tourture.
>Game's called "Kill The Justice Leauge" >People are somehow shocked you have to kill them
And they don't even know basic comic book shit, The Justice League members have died like 85180128028150128 times in more brutal ways than being shot in the face. It's actually pretty tame, but the microplastics and fluoride have made people even more moronic. The pure fricking stupidity of this whole thing literally makes me angry and how fricking braindead people can be.
Yeah, but much of it could have been forgiven if the game itself wasn't what it was, which is a cookie cutter live service game that brings literally nothing to the table
>be fighting game fan >characters' entire reason for existence is to beat each other up >no story to get in the way >if your character is the one who gets beaten up just pop in another quarter and start another match
feels good man
Yeah that’s crazy man, so go ahead and explain why Batman dying hundreds of other times wasn’t a big deal but now it is? You said some stupid bullshit about zoomies drinking fluoride but were you gonna ride with that gay fricktarded answer for real or were ypu just acting like a moron as a joke?
dude the game is dog shit, it plays terribly and its live service garbage because frick you. Also the graphics look bland and dry because the dumb frick artist was on an HDR monitor.
Did they even thought that making a game in which killing off some of the world's most popular and favourte superheroes would have made the game popular?
Why the frick make this game in the first place even?
Executives are fricking morons. There's the story of how the last Terminator movie was greenlit because it opened with John Conner (still a child) getting shot and killed, and they thought it would be "shocking," and "transgressive." There's the story of how Solo: A Star Wars Story got greenlit, because someone described this scene, and the executives thought it was the hypest fricking shit.
Justice League shit is so fricking stupid it makes my head spin. I tried playing Injustice after finishing the Arkham series because I wanted more Kevin Conroy Batman and boy was that a fricking mistake. It's just absolute nonsense.
Why is Batman a part of this universe? Why try to make this relatively grounded hero who has no actual superpowers into this team of demigods fighting other demigods? It's a round hole and he is a square peg.
Oh, I know why. Because the majority of DC heroes are nobodies and Batman is one of the few DC properties anyone gives a shit about.

>Why is Batman a part of this universe? Why try to make this relatively grounded hero who has no actual superpowers into this team of demigods fighting other demigods?
I still can't fricking believe that the only other guy i've heard mention this shit is a shitty porn artist, you're right, it never made sense, even the "he's the street level expert" excuse is moronic, the JL is for fighting aliens and menaces too big for the average supe, they shouldn't care about street level villains and/or crimes, it's like having a spec ops team catch a thief in a small neighborhood
That's okay, JL Batman is the smartest being in the universe, can access or build any plot device, and somehow trade blows with Darkseid despite being an ordinary human. It's perfectly believable.
JL Batman also is portrayed as the one being who can overcome Darkseid's brainwashing. What a shame this didn't apply to the game. Canologically, Suicide Squad Batman is also the same Batman that broke out of brainwashing from the Madhatter, never succumbed to the fear toxin, repelled the corrupting influence of the lazerus pits, resisted attempted coercion from all of his close friends and family, and defeated the Joker virus without an antidote. He's consistently portrayed as mentally indominable to even the worst forms of mental control for 4 fricking games, then Suicide Squad undoes that for a cheap bossfight.
I think at this point it should be considered he has 'the ultimate brain' or whatever as a super power. One aspect is him being a genius, even if not the greatest of geniuses. But an unmatched learning ability and 'figuring things out' so while he can't come up with the pervert plan to prevent evil, he will always find a way of how to counter anything that comes up. And probably have it explained of how he can function on like 30 minutes -2 hours of sleep per night to live out his double life. At the very least, he is peak human with a genius IQ range.
>Batman >Grounded
Gotham is basically a spooky Transylvanian village LARPing as New York with curses and conspiracies all the way down.
As someone who grew up moving all the damn time I don't know how anyone can live in these big city landscapes in superhero universe and not just fricking leave. If it was a city-state then maybe as immigration is hard. But as US citizens there are so many other places they could go. Is it that big of a deal they live in places like NYC or LA rather than Seattle or Austin?

I hope you lose your job from being part of this game you little homosexual
I've yet to come up with a good enough term for it, but I've been using 'problem magnetism'. The problem isn't actually that the Justice League are killed, the problem is the game is shit AND the justice league are killed. If the core gameplay was fun and the story was good and the characters shut the frick up, then people would either be ignoring or praising the way it treats Batman etc.
>Game's called "Justice League: Gay Porn" >People are somehow shocked you have to frick them

I have no issue with killing the Justice League
I do have issues with >The boss fights are awful >They tied it into Arkham-verse, for some reason? So they can have pre-packaged Harley Quinn characterization, I guess >There's no tension on which characters in the Suicide Squad are going to die - one of the best parts of the concept, is seeing which of the crew eat it, or go rogue. They are literally a squad of expendables, and one of the main draws is seeing who gets their head popped but WHOOPS, can't kill 'em because they're player characters in our GAAS slop that needs to go on for 10 years (or whatever delusional idea suits had for this game)
because none of the cast put up any sort of convincing fight or are killed in any way believeable to the characters they are set up to be
superman should and could immediately vaporize you on sight but does nothing because lmao plot armour and once you realise the suicide squad are completely impervious to any kind of peril all immersion goes out of the window
you might as well have batman slip over a banana peel left by joker and break his neck
instead we get nu-harley going >bacon waffles xdd

Its also kind of a bad game, as well as utterly uninspired cookie cutter live service slop
Killing Justice League is the least of its problems
Do you REALLY think the Justice League dying is the only problem people have with this dumpster fire of a game?
I think there's so much coverage on people being mad about the JL being killed (and that's more on how anti-climatic their deaths were. Superman just flops to the ground after you shoot him enough times? The frick?), they leave out a lot of the other things that makes the game shit.
Like the game, in my opinion, the absolute worst UI I have ever seen. There's so much clutter and numbers on the screen it literally makes these meme pics of exaggerated game UIs an actual thing. You don't need to have numbers bigger than the guy you're shooting flying out of them per fricking bullet!
>dc comics game is about killing everyones favorite heros >troons are surprised nobody wants to do that
Lmao. This logic is like opening a petting zoo where the main feature is the children having to watch a 39 year old mexican man rape baby goats and eat them raw. Nobody wants this but the mental illness is too strong for troons to see it.
No one's shocked hence the awful sales. This isn't like Fallout 76 where there were huge sales day one. Everyone knew about the killing the JL crew and it got worse and worse as it went on.
Yeah they're new fans, they don't know all that history. Imagine me, a level above you that realises this, now reading your comment with how angry you are over normie's fricking opinions. Sad man, get a life.
>Um, the game has boring grind and mechanics, shitty battle pass and shop, boring heroes that almost has no difference in playing between them, the bosses most of the time are really boring bullet sponges, and kinda sad that you kill justice league.... >AIIIIIIEEEEEEEE YOU FRICKING CHUDS THE GAME IS CALLED "KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE" WHY THE FRICK YOU SHOCKED YOU HAVE TO KILL THEM AIIIEEEEE
Just continue to focus on the smallest of the problems of this game, surely this will save it.
>studio makes arguably the best superhero comic to game adaptations ever >planning on making a Superman game >morono Black person suits force them to make SOOSIGH SKWAH, a niche series >game is shit on top of shitting all over the heroes people like and want to see games made about >still no Superman or Justice League games since like PS2 era >this game flops so hard it’s going to bury Rocksteady studios
That’s why people are mad, among many other reasons I’m sure
>be cofounder of the studio >invite prolific comic writer to join the game >keep bugging him with my ideas >invite him out for second game but now insert myself and friends as cowriters >continue to shoe horn my fanfiction into his writing >refuse to allow him to comeback for third game as feel confident in my awesome fanfiction and no one will ever guess the BBEG is jason todd
It's not the fact that you need to kill them. All the major events of the game happen because the male characters, except for Batman, decide they need to lobotomize themselves in the name of peace. Why does Superman assume that diplomacy will work when Brainiac flew to Earth in a giant skull-shaped ship with a fleet of invading machines? Why didn't John use his ring to access the vast wealth of knowledge available to all Green Lanterns to find out who or what Brainiac was instead of taking a guess on diplomacy? How in the WORLD did The Flash get captured?
I personally don't dislike these kinds of goofy What-If scenarios, but if they wanted to make the Justice League suddenly be evil, there are a lot of better ways they could have done it. Brainiac uses a Boom Tube to transport his ship before the Justice League have a chance to properly access the situation. Brainiac uses a kryptonian back door in the Hall of Justice and mind controls Superman. Lex Luthor strikes a deal with Brainiac and gives him clones of the Justice League but gets burned on the deal and teams up to stop him. There's just so many better ways to do it than making Clark go "HMM... maybe these hostile alien invaders are actually friendly, I think!"
The game's a victim of terrible writing. Surprisingly, people care about the writing when you're looking at capeshit.
>wokies have infinite oney from ESG >the money will never dry up. it's not about the money
except people have been pulling out of ESG investments hence a lot of the recent firings
Seriously, they made a game where B-list villains kill A-list heroes. I have no idea how they convinced the investors that fans would react positively to it.
Better idea would be to not use the villains as player characters and have us play as the heroes. Have us play as motherfricking good guy Superman for once and make him the one saving the Justice League (non-lethally, of course). Or better yet, just scrap the story and give us something better than this crap.
Why villains specifically? The Batman family against the mind controlled Justice League would make a tragic story, and Batman would kill his friends with respect. But we all know this is just an humiliation ritual were you kill your idols, good is evil, and evil is good
>I have no idea why they're so obsessed with her.
Money and recognition. Harley Quinn was the breakout character of the Suicide Squad movie and WB must have made a shit ton of money from merch alone. Even to this day there are E-thots cosplaying as Harley.

It is probably just the most common Harley outfit that is sold anywhere since it has the most normalgay recognition. Making it child sized is questionable, true.
>Because DC is fricking obsessed with Harley Quinn, to the point they replaced the Joker with her. I have no idea why they're so obsessed with her.
she is actually super marketable and popular.
Video Games getting her wrong (and some comics) is the norm
I think the story is actually the most appealing thing about it. What killed the game was turning this game into a live service coop shooter instead of making it an arkham style game
They should have just made a regular ass game where you played as the Suicide Squad instead of some dumb bullshit made to get you to pay money to level up a battle pass.
>keep the BamHam combat >have the Suicide Squad fighting third world militias with the occasional b/c lister >don't put battlepasses nor other online garbage besides coop
Wow, so hard
Captain Boomerang solely uses wacky gimmicky boomerang weapons, Harley Quinn is more BTAS and less Margo Robbie, Deadshot isn't a Black person, the writing isn't post-ironic trash and actually respectful of its wacky superhero roots, the game isn't full price + MTX.
>players b***h and moan about no joker >the devs give the players joker as dlc, and make him a homosexual
lmao, this game is a pretty funny monkey paw.
I didn't even know Sweet Baby Inc was involved in that god awful Saints Row reboot, but it makes a ton of sense. I wouldn't be surprised if the Twitter intern for the game was from Sweet Baby Inc.
It's extremely unusual for the people behind propaganda to drop any and all pretenses and just go full dictator without at least trying to hide behind something, i guess things must be in the shitter for them
Crew is being singled out for the purpose of setting a precedent that will affect other live service games from going down the same path. If it goes well then it will put a stop to shit like Suicide Squad as well.
you set a precedent and use that to more easily sue any future bullshit like this.
ok, I get that but still why a game that had a decent life span? Why not something egregious like Anthem which died quick and then they make a huge public thing about how they were going to give it the no mans sky treatment only to then cancel that as well. It just seems like an odd game to use to try and set a precedent.
What difference does it make? It's happening now. The reason it's this game is because it's the best chance to succeed from a legal and technical perspective.

fixed
Don't they HAVE to give players(no matter how little) the promised DLC, or they'll get sued? I think Saints Row still gave out their promised DLC, despite the game being a flop.
They'll probably handle it the same way Gearbox handled the tina wonderlands dlc, a few 10 minute long half-assed missions that's treated as full big expansions
>Don't they HAVE to give players(no matter how little) the promised DLC, or they'll get sued?
Who is going to be sued if the company shuts down? More than 100 people already left the company prior to the game releasing and there's only 100 people left.
They had some * in the blurbs for the Season pass etc, they said they could cancel it with reasonable notice. Worst case scenario though if they don't think that will hold up is issuing automatic refunds for the difference between base game and the season pass edition, or just refunding the passes. There is precedent for that as well as Creative Assembly did that with Total War Pharaoh.
>have tons of cool characters >have the justice league >make a fricking suicide squad game featuring harley and literal nobodies
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
basically all MCU were B-C Tier in popularity with the normies till the movies came out.
all the popular stuff (4F, Spiderman, X-men) was sold to Sony in the mid 90s to avoid bankruptcy
They could have at least let us play as more fun villains, like Mr. Freeze. At least him taking on the Justice League is more "believable", and his ice weapons would be fun to use.
What do you mean? Didn't you see how much of a massive success SS movies were? Who WOULDN'T want to capitalize on it and make a live service looter shooter in 2024?
Fun Fact: After premiere, they added the Harley bit to the title and re-released it because they needed the name as an eye catcher. Normies didn't know anything about the skwad.
I saw this at my ex’s place when it first started streaming, and only remember that because after it was over she convinced me to frick her on her family’s covered balcony while everyone else was sleeping inside. It was really awkward since I straight up creampied this girl while like 5 people slept on the other side of a wall, but also kind of hot so when people mention this movie I get turned on.
Because nobody actually likes Harry outside of porn. She's fine in small doses but she's always been incredibly fricking annoying when put front and center.
I gave this movie a chance. It was fricking terrible. Pandering nonsense with viral bait fricking everywhere. The breakfast sandwich scene is a good example.
This is the game that shot Batman in the head and killed the rest of the JUST ice league lmao
This is the story content that thought it had earned this changing of the guard. I am glad the people in charge of Rocksteady left. What warner bros did to the Rocksteady brand with this pile of shit, and what this game did to the Batman story can never be undone. Rockstead spent a decade and a half of great games building Batman up (with one or two missteps) and then the new team that's left does this shit
Nu-writers are parasites. They cannot write. They have no values of their own so they have no idea how to earn respect or how to write a story worth reading. Instead they just destroy. They destroy the foundation of the part and the characters that have their own story. These writers wear the deaths of 'sacred cows' on their chest like badges or pins without realizing that the world they are making is a world without characters. Once you burn all the houses down you have no where to sleep. Once you kill off all your sacred cows you have no more food left. Once you kill off all your beloved characters, you are left with nothing but nihilistic despondence.
They have killed their heroes and wonder who will save their house in crisis.
You'd be right. I got everything in Arkham Knight except the Riddler stuff and I soured on the tank batmobile. It was bad, replaying right now and it's still bad but I'm giving it a pass from 7/10 to 8/10 after the Complete Edition with all DLC pack was on sale for $5. Since Rocksteady will likely be closed this year (look at all the layoffs lately), it should be mentioned that WarnerBros Montreal (Arkham Origins, Gotham Knights) is hiring to make another game and everything points to the Harry Potter IP. It's really funny that the studio WarnerBros and Rocksteady called the B team is outliving Rocksteady and didn't ruin Batman/Kevin Conroy the way Suicide Squad KTJL did. WB Montreal avoided the closure guillotine because at least Gotham Knights is a single player focused game with a working offline mode on all discs, didn't waste 10 years to develop, has solid breasts and ass Batgirl, and doesn't need upkeep costs to maintain.
Meanwhile KTJL Suicide Squad took nearly a decade to release, the return on investment must be abysmal with its poor sales, the game's always online DRM means once End Of Service hits all the discs out there are worthless, the micro transactions store means they won't be a modding scene to "fix" this product, the story mode is unapologetically unfinished at a running clock of 3 hours of cutscenes that end on Live Service as your Second Job, Harley Quinn will always be ugly and forced, every season of ""content"" is upkeep costs for a dead playerbase, word of mouth and reviews are poison to anyone curious, and the game was already discounted at launch everywhere. I like the shark guy, though.
Feel real bad that we lost a Batman Beyond game to Harley Quinn C lister the video game.
I love how there was 0 Harley in all of Batman Beyond until the Joker movie and she paid their bail. Then she proceeds to rant and smack her granddaughters in the butt with her cane, pure comedy gold.
Wait this was a live service game?
I assumed with how bad it was it was just a "pull the wool over peoples eyes and try and scam them into making the box purchase" angle
They actually had intentions to support and produce further content for this shit, knowing how bad it was?
Why is DC so fricking adamant on making Suicide Squad the next big thing? >2016 movie is shit >other movie is literally who >birds of prey jobbed to sonic >game is shaping up to be this year's nu-saint's row
Everything involving SS has been shit even by capeshit standards, why keep bothering with it?
The 2016 movie was a massive financial success. It made over $700 million in box office. Everything about their massive SS and Harley pushes was greenlit right after it.
Warner Bros just didn't get that SS 2016 was a success because of successful marketing that semi-accidentally lured in normalgays who don't normally watch capeshit, and because Margot Robbie as Harley was allowed to be coombait in it.
Since then WB has had misguided trust on audiences having genuine interest in Suicide Squad and in Harley's success having something to do with feminist representation while neither were ever the case.
>'Safe' picks, by Suicide Squad standards - no obscure characters like Polka-Dot Man, Rat Catcher II, etc >No group volatility - never risk of someone going rogue >No risk of any of the main cast dying. Luthor dies, and they JUST FRICKING GET ANOTHER
Suicide Squad In Name Only
>make a bad game with shit gameplay and gaas shit (Singleplayer) >WTF WHY DID IT FAIL? THE CONSUMERS ARE THE PROBLEM
The cherry on top of this was conroy's last performance as batman was dog shit. He could have EASILY REPLACED wonderwoman but WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE A STRONK FEMALE CHARACTER BE A GOOD GUY.
frick off.
>The cherry on top of this was conroy's last performance as batman was dog shit. He could have EASILY REPLACED wonderwoman but WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE A STRONK FEMALE CHARACTER BE A GOOD GUY.
as much as people clamor about this it would not have fixed game's other problems
WarnerBros Montreal Batgirl
coomers are greenlit for another game >https://wbgamesmontreal.com/jobs/r000078320/
Rocksteady Studios on the other hand is on suicide watch and WarnerBros is still paying to create content for a dead playerbase. Close to 10 years they financed the development and continued support of Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League.
They should have just made a Batman game where you play as the villains like Mr. Freeze, Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, etc. Who the frick wants to play with the moronic characters they chose?
They would be right.
The only exception I can think of are old Batman trilogy, but let's be real - games of that quality won't ever happen again in this nightmare landscape that is real world.
I loved the old spiderman games. The web swinging along was hours of fun. It felt so fluid. The new spiderman games feel so janky I don't know what it is.
Because as far as shareholders are concerned you must always chase the hypothetical All the Money (making your own Fortnite money printer) or you might as well not do any business at all.
It is almost comedic how Warner Bros is dismissing Hogwarts Legacy selling over 20 million copies as an once and done single player experience, while Suicide Squad flops and WB suits are still hellbent on continuing their chase of the GAAS golden goose.
Yeah but it doesn't even FIT, and has proven to be an exceptionally boneheaded move.
Executives and shareholders are soulless idiots.

i don't even understand how it's a live service game. it looks linear as frick and seems like there's nothing to do except grind the type of open world missions most people skip in single player games
Im kinda surprised Suicide squad was universally hated.
I mean, of course anyone with knowledge of Rocksteady games would hate this turd, but I was afraid zoomers would enjoy this Crackdown meets Fortnite game
Seems everyone decided to hate on it, maybe for different reasons
>Seems everyone decided to hate on it, maybe for different reasons
Its just a bad game.
Market if flooded with live service titles and people already annoyed by the trend, so they have a comparison.
Also people still pissed of by Avengers live service games and how that was treated by the devs, that game too came out with no content on a promise of "next season" only to release frick all and get shut down.
Saying "people just hate it" takes away from how bad it really is compared to all the other simillar games on the market.
>Planned like 4-5 seasons for it >Game literally dies within a week
How tone deaf does the developers/publisher have to be? Good god. They really HYPED it up and even DELAYED THE GAME for a YEAR and still released it with no real changes.
>Planned like 4-5 seasons for it
Thats the thing, they didnt plan shit.
The next season is killing Brainiac again and again? Thats it? Thats the content?
Its like a random idea you make up the spot to have anything to say, its not a plan.
Their roadmap includes and i quote "3 new characters", "3 new environments", "new Riddler content" and "more".
Really? Thats a plan for 12 fricking months? You get more characters with guns to shoot the same 10 enemies in the same few mission types but now you get joker and a clown themed buildings to run on?
So the art team rigs and animates joker, and 3 extra characters, and makes some baloons to be placed on couple buildings, frick entire rest of the studio gonna do?
Men want gameplay
Women want an interactive story
Men are the majority
Women are the minority
Industry has been appealing to everytrhing but its main demographic for 10+ years now and people are sick of it.
Men want good stories and good gameplay.
Women don't give a shit about video games in general. They're just butthurt men prefer vidya over wasting time and money on them.
Women like games that they can play like they were playing house, The Sims, Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley are popular among women for a reason. Also, Disney Dreamlight Valley has sold millions.
Pretty sure that affects ALL the other issues wrong with it, aside from the narrative aspects. GaaS dictates the gameplay and the “loop”, after all, you’re supposed to spend 100’s+ hours on this thing.
why, you go to OTHER multiverses, and defeat Brainiac in those realities, too! That way, you can fight... >Batman Brainiac >Green Lantern Brainiac
and who knows what other exciting moveset swaps they had planned!
How can they see the Destiny series and still decide to make that move? Have they forgotten the 1st Destiny games original promise? Wasn't it like 10 years of content and then a year and a half later they dropped that fricking idea hard. Fricking halo died for it.
>a game about a gang of misfits >a fricking shooter
Concept isn't even that bad. I'd play a coop game with Ratcatcher rat rts, Deathstroke weaboo sword action, Captain Boomerang autism with trajectories, Bizarro rip and tear with gimmicks and so on. You think with a cast of different characters they'd have fun trying out new gameplay concepts instead of giving everyone a gun.
Suicide Squad is the most forced new franchise of the past 10 years. It made one movie that solid about as well as your average mid 2010s Marvel movie, and a bunch of thots went as Harley Quinn for Halloween that year.
This prompted them to greenlight a sequel movie, a TV show, a Harley Quinn movie, and a AAA video game. All of which bombed.
I legit don't understand, how is that a game that just came out can't last forever? An online service I get it, but why would a single player experience be doomed to not be accessible any longer? I seriously can't follow the slop trends anymore
But you kill Brainiac at the end of the storymode? What is the point of seasons and whole loot rarity shit when you can complete the game with somewhat basic loot and without even dabbing in coop or online activities at all?
You don't just kill Brainiac, silly! You kill one of 13 Brainiacs that are all over the Elseworlds (DC multiverse)! The rest of them are supposed to be the future content drip.
I doubt that each of these Brainiacs would get their own campaign on par with length and production value as original game. Like, each with their own version of JL or SS themselves, all with voiceacting and motion capture. Probably would be some cheap model swap with unvoiced text for mission briefings.
Anyway, good riddance.
People can't dedicate their time to ALL the live service games. Personally, I had heard of Suicide Squad having a new game, have no idea what it is, how it plays or anything. Just now seeing this was intended to be live service? Isn't it just capeshit single player stuff like Spiderman?
Either way, I have at least 3 games I play regulalry that I give my time to. Most gamers will be the same, having another live service game to keep up with its content, missions etc, it's just too much lol. I think that's why games like BG3 and Palwrold have been seeing HUGE success, because it's a return to having the whole fricking game as soon as you've bought it. None of this gameplay loop to hook you into spending money on trash cosmetics.
Sweet baby inc strikes again
Remember: IT'S NOT ABOUT EARNING MONEY
THEY WANT TO BRAINWASH YOU WITH THEIR PROPAGANDA. IT IS POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL WARFARE
>The industry no longer has a market for shitty copy pastas.
Madden and Cod were in the top three best selling video games of 2023. I don't think copy pasted triple A dreck is going anywhere anytime soon.
It’s already going for $20 off. Anyone that paid $100 for this dog shit is moronic. 3 whole days early for $20 more. And it was down half that time. morons will continue to be milked.
At least we epically owned the chuds right? Thas right we're going to humiliate and kill your favorite characters! W-wait why isn't it doing well? BUY OUR GAME CHUDS
Wokeflop
I know absolutely nothing about this game or justice league, can somebody explain to me what's woke about it? Like is it in the game content or was the dev team just diverse and brave?
The Suicide Squad literally shit and piss on the corpses of the Justice League EXCEPT Wonder Woman because she's a woman of color, instead they all figuratively tip their fedora to her sad demise.
Also Lex Luthor's notes are all stereotypical male commentary degrading women and people of color with heavy emphasis he's a conservative.
>Greek
>Woman of colour
Based, I can't wait to throw around my BIPOC status at work for benefits
Amazonas is in brazil, moron.
>Both the island and city are named after the mythological city of Themiscyra, the capital of the Amazons in Greek mythology
>Governed by Aphrodite's Law
You are an absolute dribbling mongoloid
Sorry I could give less of a frick about marvelslop "lore"
>Gets absolutely fricking told
>'uhhhh idc'
I accept your apology moron-kun
Yeah man you sure got me there. You got it.
It's alright m8, no need to seethe so much, it's an anonymous image board
I think they retconned that
>That DC logo
Disgusting
It is indeed embarrassing
monkey pox flag
Nah, it's still correct, but they added a third tribe of Amazons based in Brazil that just happened to be there so they can say 'muh diversity' and have her take over Wonder Woman's mantle one day. Pretty much just Miles Morales type bullshit
>that logo
And people wonder why nobody buys comics
The homosexual troony logo makes it easy to know if the comic is recent.
You are an actual idiot, I’m genuinely taken aback
>brave
How exactly is it "brave" to be what the mainstream media and all the big corporations support? Do explain.
It's brave to be a complete butthole, I assume that is what it means.
I was being facetious. Normally I would call you a massive sperg, but given this board has been infested with discord lardos for a the past few years I guess I can't blame you for thinking I was serious.
Wokism is broadly describable as a movement loosely focused on "depowering the majority", usually an ethnic group. But it can also mean things like a voting block, a widespread religion, law enforcement, a gender or just a commonly held opinion that is perceived as negatively affecting any one minority. A game that portrays men or the entire human race as the bad guys is something that you can usually call woke.
As for examples from Suicide Squad, if you want a direct example, the biographies of the Justice League would be a good place to start. They are all rather negative (with one exception) and a lot of them don't sound like something Lex Luthor would ever write. The Green Lantern is lambasted for being a "Cop" and Lex goes on a massive soliloquy about how justice only serves itself in his bio.
The Wonder Woman bio is just bizarre. It sounds like something a 3rd wave feminist would write and has none of the negatively the other heroes are given.
>A game that portrays men or the entire human race as the bad guys is something that you can usually call woke.
Frick me I never realized why I hate so much shit these days, it's why i've never been able to get into the james cameron avatar films despite really liking the visuals and pacing.
Lex Luthor using the term "toxic masculinity" is pretty funny. I guess the writers couldn't be bothered to watch a few episodes of the 90's Superman cartoon.
>Lex Luthor
>A feminist
Why is lex white here.
He's white in the comics, it's only adaptations like the DCAU that make him Mediterranean/Greek.
One of the sacred tenets of modern writing is that even most evil characters always draw the absolute line in sexism and racism.
Max Payne 1 has several male bad guys, is that game woke?
The worst guy is a strong and independent woman (played by Sam Lake's mom).
>All the Justice League members get killed in humiliating and cruel ways, their bodies are defaced and desecrated
>All except one
Anon, you will never, ever be able to guess which one of the Justice League is treated with respect and reverence, gets a heroic death and doesn't have their body desecrated.
Game stars a female lead and her squad as they systematically take out the world's patriarchal ideal role models
Nothing really, the writing is just turbo shit
>harley is obnoxious and her VA is dreadful
>the shark is just pretending to be Drax from GotG so hard it hurts
>the aussie is just there to have a fake aussie accent and make kangaroo jokes
>the other one is there to say muh cool black man lines while being absolutely useless
The story and plot are atrociously bad, the gameplay is a slog of everything wrong with modern gaming.
Im not saying it doesnt have woke stuff, it probably does, I dunno im not touching it to find out. But people are dropping the game regardless of if it has woke or not, its just that shit
>im not touching it to find out
plenty of videos covering all the woke shit out there if you care to look, not that you'd waste your money on this shit anyways.
didnt this JUST come out? how are mmos folding so quickly, especially when its marvel shit
Who was this meant to appeal to?
Troons, gays, nigs, women, soys.
As we all know 50% of gamers are women, strange they don't seem to buy any of these games.
Candy crush addiction translates poorly to actual vidya participation.
all very strong consumers of vidya
i'm still shocked by this outcome
>soys.
Wtf the filter is lifted?
>Troons
Autistic men generally have better taste in vidya than this.
>gays
The only character in Suicide Squad that seems to appeal to the homos is King Shark, and they preferred his movie/cartoon design.
>nigs
They prefer the cartoonier forms of Marvel like UMvC3.
>women
Too many numbers, too much violence, not enough character customization.
>soys
Is Suicide Squad even popular among that crowd?
This is a game for nobody.
>soys
D-did it not filter onions?
twitter bots
The self hating White Man
A dying breed
A demographic that doesn’t play video games. They are either completely misinformed on the market or they don’t care and shipped it anyway.
few years ago there was a massive hate on Batman on Twitter (all by lefties)
looks like Rocksteady thought they could sell this garbage easily
Ganker is full of pirates, and people who don't play video games. But even Ganker buys more video games than lefty Twitter homosexuals.
>few years ago there was a massive hate on Batman on Twitter (all by lefties)
wut?
>Who was this meant to appeal to?
Developers need to ask this themselves more often, they keep making games for userbases they wish existed.
Like in Forza Horizon there are options for your 3D avatar. One white guy options, girl, asian, Black. Game is full of pushing "diversity", mystery meat NPCs shoved down you throat (game is set in Scotland and Britain BTW).
In online 80% have white guy avatar, others run girl avatar and it's probably just guys make ragebait cosmetics builds
Twitter activists who aren't actually fans of comics and just want to kill the heroes and pretend they're feminist harley quinn.
Very vocal people on twitter and in de media.
But as it turns out, that is just a very small minority of the people and not something you should base your business model on.
Serious answer: the shareholders who demand infinite growth in a finite world
second vidya crash is happening.
Not a crash, good games are still succeeding with absurd numbers. Closer to a purge, but maybe that's too optimistic.
People already have this game, its called fortnite, or any other shooty gaas slop they've invested in
We've reached the point where people won't invest in another but these studios keep attempting to force a new one
its the mmorpg era all over again
It's not an MMO and it isn't Marvel.
>Marvel shit
DCbros....
DC have always tried hard to be Marvel. They deserve the same fate
don't call live cashgrab shit "MMO", I want to keep the distinction so shit is immediately recognizable
To be fair the average MMO is just as shit as live service slop
MMOs are shit too, and always have been. They were just GAAS before someone coined the GAAS term
wait this trash was an mmo? i thought it was a shitty corridor shooter
>wait this trash was an mmo?
no, a 4-man co-op shitty rooftop shooter
Games as a Service models are dying rapidly, so all of the games that were planned as such 3-4 years ago are coming out when there's massive fatigue on the model and are basically doomed to fail. You can laugh that studios essentially burned millions of dollars on a trend
>You can laugh that studios essentially burned millions of dollars on a trend
I'm tired of laughing at this kind of fruitless pursuit. This sort of waste going unchecked is what's going to doom us. Not because of video games specifically, but that kind of mentality is not unique to the video game industry.
This has been happening since the dawn of economics. Don't lose any sleep over it.
No one's losing any sleep over it. Just acknowledging that a problem worth trying to solve exists.
And civilizations have been collapsing for just as long. Curious!
I really hope that Bungie focus testing Marathon and every person who played it saying they had no interest in continuing to play it lead to them second-guessing the whole project.
I don't think they spent a lot of money/resources on Marathon
>multiplayer only
>only one gamemode(?)
Marathon needs to simply be
3 to 4 hour campaign
Tarkov extraction mode
Halo style matchmaking that cleverly and efficiently reuses parts of campaign levels/extraction level as maps like Reach did.
I don't know
This shit's floating down the river because people can't afford to heat their homes. What comes first? A findom or your life?
moron execs were too money hungry to realize a very easily observable truth that there's a finite cap on the market for games as a second job, and if your shit isn't pulling eyes off of Fortnite and the other behemoths all you're going to be left with are scraps.
>Games as a Service models are dying rapidly
Thank god. GaaS is a fricking stupid model and the faster we go back to expansion packs, the better.
Helldivers 2 is literally GAAS
Yeah but it's the good kind with a setting people like. It's 40k and EDF mashed together with zero EGS shit.
>MMO
Are you moronic?
>how are mmos folding so quickly, especially when its marvel shit
Saturated market (games as a service AND marvel shit)
and in this particular case, the rise of anti-woke sentiment combined with this game's mean spirited treatment of its setting and characters
>mmo
>Marvel
Well, for one: This isn't Marvel, it's DC, so write that down...
For the other:
>Batham Devs
>Make a goddamn shooter
>In Capeshit genre
WHAT THE FRICK WERE THEY THINKING?
The thing is there absolutely was a demand for live service coop shooter that the butchered Suicide Squad into lmao
Look at Helldivers 2
The thing is, the game just sucked
Dumpsterdivers 2 is shit woke goyslop too doe
>didnt this JUST come out? how are mmos folding so quickly, especially when its marvel shit
In this case? About 10 hours of content, and by the end of those 10 you have been grinding the same shit for 7
Free to play mobile games like Honkai StarRail come out with more content in first version, this is a joke.
I dont think anybody, not even the devs can answer how the "live" part in the live service here was supposed to work, what were people supposed to even do?
-No raids
-1 enemy fraction
-only 11 unique enemies split in only 3 categories
>no non story bosses, its just basic enemies
-poor mission variety
-zero weapon variety
-no hero variety ( the failed marvels avebngers had 12 unique characters or something )
-every hero plays the same
-storymode is extremly short
Like what were people supposed to do between seasons?
Even ignoring questions on how good the game is, why didnt they look at Destiny, Warframe and the ancient WoW and just copy the mission structure?
>10 hours of content
You are very generous because the game is 8 hours of cutscenes
There's only 3 hours of cutscenes, the total hours is 10. The final boss is a reskin and asset reuse of The Flash. Suicide Squad is a short live service game with even shorter narrative and only 4 boss fights, a 5th being asset flipping as the final boss (lol). For tie record Arkham Origins has the best capeshit boss fights.
>the failed marvels avebngers had 12 unique characters or something
Avengers only launched which six characters.
>Kamala
>Iron Man
>Captain America
>Hulk
>Thor
>Black Widow
Several months later they added Kate Bishop, and then several months after that they added Hawkeye. Then it took them either six or eight months to do a "relaunch" of the game with Black Panther which was effectively the most players the game had. Then like six or so months later Playstation got Spidey (No other platform which is why Playstation is the only one even worth playing if you do care), people complained incessantly because Xbox and PC got nothing for all that time, and then Jane Foster came out maybe six months later. Then right before it died they released Winter Soldier.
Jane Foster and Winter Soldier were both "echo" characters like in Smash. JF was just Thor but melee oriented and her moves outside of her ult was Thor's. Winter Soldier was just Black Widow + Captain America with an assault rifle.
t. Person who put way too much time into it.
>six characters.
At lest they played differently.
SS has 4, and they all use guns.
Yeah, I didn't mean to disparage it. The game had problems but outside of Jane Foster and Winter Soldier the characters and how they played was not one of them. Everyone barring Hulk and Captain America played great.
Avenger's had such an ass roster, it's insane. The MCU did irreparable damage to capeshit vidya. Say what you want about the Midnight Suns game, but at least that game had an interesting roster that wasn't just MCU reps.
>mmo
god you're moronic
normal people stick to 1 gaas at for example if people playing genshin on PS5 there is no way you can sway them to another live service game and you dont need ps+ to play genshin too
At this point all the people who are interested in live service garbage have a live service game they're addicted to and the very nature of live service means those people don't have time to play other games. Basically, there's no more fish in the barrel to shoot. Suicide Squad is also a genuinely bad game so nobody is going to abandon their game to go play it.
I like you
I don’t understand the Suicide Squad IP. It’s always a disaster. Why did they decide to make a game of it?
>all these people responding to this bait and not realizing mmo and marvel are obvious tells
> Industry huffs copium thanks to fortnite and destiny and think they have an easy moneymaker in the form of GAAS
> They heavily invest in it by making live service games by making them out of their own IPs, making a new IP or licensing one
> It turns out that besides the usual massive costs of development, they now have to support the always-online servers of a thing that needs constant updates
> Also they by design require a lot of time and attention by players and the fact that they are all just the same genre of games, it turns out that releasing a bunch of them close to one another means that the releases are cannibalizing each other's players counts, which wouldn't happen if they were simply from different genres
> Result: companies spend a lot of money in several expensive projects that quickly got outed as crappy products, and then they usually are canned and the servers shut down in a few years if they're lucky
> The continuing nonsense caused by it causes even normies to get sick of GAAS, causing new releases to flop even harder (The Suicide Squad game peaked far BELOW the Avengers one)
>It's gotten to the point live service games are now being cancelled before they even released (Join the ACK) because they're so damn unprofitable
>Not only that but the massive flops led massive layoffs all across the industry, just because they thought live service was the future
At least this one had the decency to get out the door before dying. Live service is a market more saturated than a shitty Skyrim ENB and has been on the way out for a year now.
It did. The problem is that this game became yet another target for butthole gamers and YouTubers to make fun of because of some story issues and some awkward models. No one in the gaming community has any empathy for anyone working on games. Sadly you can spend several years of your life working tirelessly on a project and some twerp on the Internet can make fun of it.
I feel for the people at Rocksteady. There are a lot of good folk there.
(You)
>Surely these developers and studios will learn their lesson after making flop number 192822911!!!!
They'll keep blaming chuds and not change a single fricking thing.

that's fine with me
they can learn the lesson as many times as they like
Then they'll become unemployed

Is it finally crashing?
Probably not given that many companies are announcing record profits, but some old titans like EA could kick the bucket soonish
I'll take that, at least.
Doesn't EA print money with FIFA/Madden/NBA? They could drop every other franchise and still be profitable with their yearly sportsball slopperino
FIFA sells like 20 million copies annually. Madden around 10 million copies. Then microtransactions. Those 2 games are like $1 billion in microtransactions above the actual game sales. $2 billion from 2 games annually.
>EA could kick the bucket
Lol. Lmao even.
The Madden train rolls on. I'll be interested to see if the change from FIFA to 'EA FC' actually impacts earnings
>but some old titans like EA could kick the bucket soonish
They always have madden to fall back on, it sells millions every year no matter what which is how they've survived despite putting out massive flops for years on end over and over again.
If we're talking big publisher that could go down, it's gonna be Embracer.
Doubt it
Big publishers are downsizing and closing down failed studios but they still have their big money maker IPs so I doubt we will see major players in the industry dying off
At the very least there won't be as much garbage being funded
Just replaced by AI to increase profit margin even more
They're cutting all the chaff so there won't be another crash. This is the industry hard correcting itself after years of gross mismanagement and bloat.
I wish.
If i had to guess companies probably over hired during the pandemic years and now that a bunch of projects didn't work out they are firing everyone not related to the ones that worked out. Keep in mind that companies are reporting record profits because the small handful projects that do work out cover the costs of the ones who don't.
>were eliminated despite our importance
The delusion
>It was their fault some idiot who makes more money then all of them combined forced them to make a game like.
Why do you defend executives who make these awful decision?
Honestly they are forcing EACHOTHER to develop only wokie trash with their own cucked liberal lifestyle.
The execs where just the ones foolish enough to actually put the ingredients for that sort of poisonous wienertail into one office building
this
Muh evil capitalists just follow where the money is. Liberals wanted bloated gay slop and produced bloated gay slop and that's what we got. Now that nobody wants that anymore or rather the money of the people demanding it dried up it's all crashing down. They literally dug their own graves
I'm not blaming people making money of the trannies. I'm blaming trannies
Because I’m so fricking sick of this gay Reddit response every time. “Noooo the devs can’t be shit at their jobs!!!! It was all those evil suits who told them what to do!!!!”
It’s fricking gay man. Tell that to the guy who just got rich by making Balatro. Most of these devs have absolutely 0 talent and I’m sick of morons pretending that a bunch of diversity hires would suddenly develop the ability to make good games.
I hope it goes completely black for March.

why aren't Japanese studios facing layoffs this heavy?
I fear for NIS' future because they put all their eggs in the fujo basket.
Better management without diverse staff bloat, and Japanese companies massively benefit from paying their employees in yen while selling their products mostly in dollars and euros.
>all that delusion
It's fricking illegal in Japan to do layoffs. How the frick did you not hear about "demoted to a janitor and made miserable so he leaves on his own" Japan work culture? They can't fire people without getting fricked by the government.
>It's fricking illegal in Japan to do layoffs.
No it's not.
They have stronger worker protections laws than America, but so does the EU and Australia and people still get fired, same as in Japan. SEGA and Snoy both laid off plenty of people.
They are. Sega and Snoy have laid off staff globally, and most major JP publishers have faced layoffs of at least some reduction.
Nintendo is pretty much the only exception, both in their Japan offices and abroad.
Good riddance.

Was every season supposed to have a Brainiac as final boss?
Yes, supposed to fight him another 8 times for the actual ending.
A season was supposed to last a year? How did these morons expect people to keep playing their moronic solo game boring shooter for years?
I hope Multiversus ends up being at least a moderate success just so WB takes all resources away from Rocksteady. Turn them into a support studio.
Meh, It would have probably ended in the world being reset and having a cutscene basically announcing a justice league game
>GAAS bomb after GAAS bomb
Will the industry learn the right lessons here?
LE and HD2 are doing great.
No clue about LE (or even what the acronym is) but Helldivers 2 at least has a reason to be GAAS and does it in a way that benefits gameplay (players having an effect on a larger war) and the monetization isn't egregious as of yet.
Suicide Squad is GAAS for bullshit reasons to try and squeeze money out of redditors
That’s because Helldivers 2 isn’t political. It’s just a fun game about being cool space marines
That's my whole point of GaaS not been by the issue
Suicide Squad....... Killed itself.........
I thought your post was funny, Anon
Fricking lel
heh
There goes another Live Service game that failed utterly, wonder how many more will take until they stop that trend
I mean its like what, second such game in the Arkham franchise? Does anyone even remember the uhhh...what was its name, the one where you play as Batmans sidekicks taking over for him
Joker was supposed to be released in March with Season 1. They don’t even have a date yet lmao
>It was a live service game
Being this fricking lazy at tax evasion (wah we lost money plz don't tax us) should be punishable by wiener and ball tourture.

Wow Rocksteady is BTFOING chuds with trans rights.
>Suicide squad
>Big trans flag
This can't be real
Suicide Squad is a fitting nickname for the trans community.
>trans flag
Is there any good modern where the developers don't force them to add this propaganda bullshit?
>trans flags were the problem!
the game being garbage is the problem.
Games with woke propaganda end up being garbage 99% of the time. These people aren't capable of making anything good.
>Game's called "Kill The Justice Leauge"
>People are somehow shocked you have to kill them
And they don't even know basic comic book shit, The Justice League members have died like 85180128028150128 times in more brutal ways than being shot in the face. It's actually pretty tame, but the microplastics and fluoride have made people even more moronic. The pure fricking stupidity of this whole thing literally makes me angry and how fricking braindead people can be.
People are mad because the batman you play from arkham is the one you kill in the game and he's a fricking jobber.
>Look mom! I posted it again
Tiresome.
Yeah, problem?
Its also kind of a bad game, as well as utterly uninspired cookie cutter live service slop
Killing Justice League is the least of its problems
Do you REALLY think the Justice League dying is the only problem people have with this dumpster fire of a game?
Yes.
Oh dear.
Do you understand how attached to characters people can be?
I'm well aware people are mad the Justice League dies, but I believe this game is terrible on its own merits, without the story.
Yeah, but much of it could have been forgiven if the game itself wasn't what it was, which is a cookie cutter live service game that brings literally nothing to the table
>be fighting game fan
>characters' entire reason for existence is to beat each other up
>no story to get in the way
>if your character is the one who gets beaten up just pop in another quarter and start another match
feels good man
Yeah that’s crazy man, so go ahead and explain why Batman dying hundreds of other times wasn’t a big deal but now it is? You said some stupid bullshit about zoomies drinking fluoride but were you gonna ride with that gay fricktarded answer for real or were ypu just acting like a moron as a joke?
dude the game is dog shit, it plays terribly and its live service garbage because frick you. Also the graphics look bland and dry because the dumb frick artist was on an HDR monitor.
Did they even thought that making a game in which killing off some of the world's most popular and favourte superheroes would have made the game popular?
Why the frick make this game in the first place even?
Executives are fricking morons. There's the story of how the last Terminator movie was greenlit because it opened with John Conner (still a child) getting shot and killed, and they thought it would be "shocking," and "transgressive." There's the story of how Solo: A Star Wars Story got greenlit, because someone described this scene, and the executives thought it was the hypest fricking shit.
>pretending just killing the league is the problem people have with the game
Frick yeah Kevin
who the frick is kevin
I’m Kevin, what’s up dude?
Hello?
Kevin kenroy? From the supermen series? Ever heard of them?
>Have Bamham Batman be somewhat grounded and self-contained within Gotham by modern DC standards
>Bring in multiverse shit for Suicide Squad
Justice League shit is so fricking stupid it makes my head spin. I tried playing Injustice after finishing the Arkham series because I wanted more Kevin Conroy Batman and boy was that a fricking mistake. It's just absolute nonsense.
Why is Batman a part of this universe? Why try to make this relatively grounded hero who has no actual superpowers into this team of demigods fighting other demigods? It's a round hole and he is a square peg.
Oh, I know why. Because the majority of DC heroes are nobodies and Batman is one of the few DC properties anyone gives a shit about.
Comic books are fricking stupid. Frick you. I wish Batman had nothing to do with this garbage.
>Why is Batman a part of this universe? Why try to make this relatively grounded hero who has no actual superpowers into this team of demigods fighting other demigods?
I still can't fricking believe that the only other guy i've heard mention this shit is a shitty porn artist, you're right, it never made sense, even the "he's the street level expert" excuse is moronic, the JL is for fighting aliens and menaces too big for the average supe, they shouldn't care about street level villains and/or crimes, it's like having a spec ops team catch a thief in a small neighborhood
That's okay, JL Batman is the smartest being in the universe, can access or build any plot device, and somehow trade blows with Darkseid despite being an ordinary human. It's perfectly believable.
JL Batman also is portrayed as the one being who can overcome Darkseid's brainwashing. What a shame this didn't apply to the game. Canologically, Suicide Squad Batman is also the same Batman that broke out of brainwashing from the Madhatter, never succumbed to the fear toxin, repelled the corrupting influence of the lazerus pits, resisted attempted coercion from all of his close friends and family, and defeated the Joker virus without an antidote. He's consistently portrayed as mentally indominable to even the worst forms of mental control for 4 fricking games, then Suicide Squad undoes that for a cheap bossfight.
I think at this point it should be considered he has 'the ultimate brain' or whatever as a super power. One aspect is him being a genius, even if not the greatest of geniuses. But an unmatched learning ability and 'figuring things out' so while he can't come up with the pervert plan to prevent evil, he will always find a way of how to counter anything that comes up. And probably have it explained of how he can function on like 30 minutes -2 hours of sleep per night to live out his double life. At the very least, he is peak human with a genius IQ range.
As someone who grew up moving all the damn time I don't know how anyone can live in these big city landscapes in superhero universe and not just fricking leave. If it was a city-state then maybe as immigration is hard. But as US citizens there are so many other places they could go. Is it that big of a deal they live in places like NYC or LA rather than Seattle or Austin?
>Batman
>Grounded
Gotham is basically a spooky Transylvanian village LARPing as New York with curses and conspiracies all the way down.
ive asked this question a few times and the answer is usually 'hes rich so he can fund the team' or some shit
Batman has a superhuman brain and fighting ability
Comicbook shit and shared universes are a fricking blight

I hope you lose your job from being part of this game you little homosexual
I've yet to come up with a good enough term for it, but I've been using 'problem magnetism'. The problem isn't actually that the Justice League are killed, the problem is the game is shit AND the justice league are killed. If the core gameplay was fun and the story was good and the characters shut the frick up, then people would either be ignoring or praising the way it treats Batman etc.
>Game's called "Justice League: Gay Porn"

I have no issue with killing the Justice League
I do have issues with
>The boss fights are awful
>They tied it into Arkham-verse, for some reason? So they can have pre-packaged Harley Quinn characterization, I guess
>There's no tension on which characters in the Suicide Squad are going to die - one of the best parts of the concept, is seeing which of the crew eat it, or go rogue. They are literally a squad of expendables, and one of the main draws is seeing who gets their head popped but WHOOPS, can't kill 'em because they're player characters in our GAAS slop that needs to go on for 10 years (or whatever delusional idea suits had for this game)
because none of the cast put up any sort of convincing fight or are killed in any way believeable to the characters they are set up to be
superman should and could immediately vaporize you on sight but does nothing because lmao plot armour and once you realise the suicide squad are completely impervious to any kind of peril all immersion goes out of the window
you might as well have batman slip over a banana peel left by joker and break his neck
instead we get nu-harley going
>bacon waffles xdd
before point-blanking him
are somehow shocked you have to kill them
lel, this is going to be the new "right wingers don't understand starship troopers!" isn't it?
I think there's so much coverage on people being mad about the JL being killed (and that's more on how anti-climatic their deaths were. Superman just flops to the ground after you shoot him enough times? The frick?), they leave out a lot of the other things that makes the game shit.
Like the game, in my opinion, the absolute worst UI I have ever seen. There's so much clutter and numbers on the screen it literally makes these meme pics of exaggerated game UIs an actual thing. You don't need to have numbers bigger than the guy you're shooting flying out of them per fricking bullet!
Not many people bought this game, so I guess they're not shocked at all and chose simply to abstain because they don't like it.
Suicide squad was always shit, have a nice day
>dc comics game is about killing everyones favorite heros
>troons are surprised nobody wants to do that
Lmao. This logic is like opening a petting zoo where the main feature is the children having to watch a 39 year old mexican man rape baby goats and eat them raw. Nobody wants this but the mental illness is too strong for troons to see it.
I think it's not shock some much as bewilderment they spent the money on such a shitty idea, more so when this was Kevin's last Batman role.
No one's shocked hence the awful sales. This isn't like Fallout 76 where there were huge sales day one. Everyone knew about the killing the JL crew and it got worse and worse as it went on.
Imagine raging about other people being braindead morons because they don’t know all about your le heckin superheroes. Are you 12?
Yeah they're new fans, they don't know all that history. Imagine me, a level above you that realises this, now reading your comment with how angry you are over normie's fricking opinions. Sad man, get a life.

>refuse to allow him to comeback for third game as feel confident in my awesome fanfiction and no one will ever guess the BBEG is jason todd
It's not the fact that you need to kill them. All the major events of the game happen because the male characters, except for Batman, decide they need to lobotomize themselves in the name of peace. Why does Superman assume that diplomacy will work when Brainiac flew to Earth in a giant skull-shaped ship with a fleet of invading machines? Why didn't John use his ring to access the vast wealth of knowledge available to all Green Lanterns to find out who or what Brainiac was instead of taking a guess on diplomacy? How in the WORLD did The Flash get captured?
I personally don't dislike these kinds of goofy What-If scenarios, but if they wanted to make the Justice League suddenly be evil, there are a lot of better ways they could have done it. Brainiac uses a Boom Tube to transport his ship before the Justice League have a chance to properly access the situation. Brainiac uses a kryptonian back door in the Hall of Justice and mind controls Superman. Lex Luthor strikes a deal with Brainiac and gives him clones of the Justice League but gets burned on the deal and teams up to stop him. There's just so many better ways to do it than making Clark go "HMM... maybe these hostile alien invaders are actually friendly, I think!"
The game's a victim of terrible writing. Surprisingly, people care about the writing when you're looking at capeshit.
And lo and behold it's that shitty narrative company involved with the writing, as usual.
wokies have infinite oney from ESG and the Federal Reserve
and no, the money will never dry up. it's not about the money
>it's not about the money
moron, if it wasn't about the money then the support for the game wouldn't be cut
>wokies have infinite oney from ESG
>the money will never dry up. it's not about the money
except people have been pulling out of ESG investments hence a lot of the recent firings
That money is gone moron
>infinite money
>has to lay off people despite
Do people really don't think that printing infinite money doesn't have consequences? You are devaluing your wealth.
US has been printing infinite money ever since the gold standard was abolished.
Even so, they're losing relevancy. Media and social media can be manipulated but there is only so far you can go if nobody is engaging with something.
It's over...
Seriously, they made a game where B-list villains kill A-list heroes. I have no idea how they convinced the investors that fans would react positively to it.
Which villains should they have used?
Cobblepot
Lobo
Better idea would be to not use the villains as player characters and have us play as the heroes. Have us play as motherfricking good guy Superman for once and make him the one saving the Justice League (non-lethally, of course). Or better yet, just scrap the story and give us something better than this crap.
Play as superheroes but don't change the story. Basically it's reach and TJL is Noble Team and you have to play through the fall of it.
>people still love batman and superman
>"I know, let's have a game where you kill them"
>and superman
Ehhhh
Why villains specifically? The Batman family against the mind controlled Justice League would make a tragic story, and Batman would kill his friends with respect. But we all know this is just an humiliation ritual were you kill your idols, good is evil, and evil is good
Because DC is fricking obsessed with Harley Quinn, to the point they replaced the Joker with her. I have no idea why they're so obsessed with her.
>I have no idea why they're so obsessed with her.
Money and recognition. Harley Quinn was the breakout character of the Suicide Squad movie and WB must have made a shit ton of money from merch alone. Even to this day there are E-thots cosplaying as Harley.
I was surprised this past halloween how many young children were dressing as harley
She is featured in DC cartoons a lot, including DC Superhero Girls which is aimed at young girls.
Sure, but the majority of them were the costume from the 1st suicide squad movie. It was a little creepy
It is probably just the most common Harley outfit that is sold anywhere since it has the most normalgay recognition. Making it child sized is questionable, true.
That's the canned version.
Psychopathic quippy strong woamen. Jeez, I wonder why.
>Because DC is fricking obsessed with Harley Quinn, to the point they replaced the Joker with her. I have no idea why they're so obsessed with her.
she is actually super marketable and popular.
Video Games getting her wrong (and some comics) is the norm
Same reason 40K revolves around the Tau so much, despite them being such ass for the setting. Incredibly popular and bankable.
Because that would make too much sense, and DC wants to give us more Suicide Squad movies.
Didn't they literally make an entire other looter game where you play as the Bat Family, and it flopped like hell, too?
Money, anon, money.
I think the story is actually the most appealing thing about it. What killed the game was turning this game into a live service coop shooter instead of making it an arkham style game
NOOOOO NOT MY HECKIN BATMANARINO OHHH MY SCIENCE!!!
You realize the ones who WANTED it to succeed were the redditors right?
Now do Rocksteady who are facing a huge financial flop because they didn't target their consumerbase
Eat shit you culture war propagandist homosexuals, eat fricking shit and die. I spit on your Suicide Squad, I spit on your grave.

>live service scam that pulls the plug in under a year and tricked everyone into paying their development costs
Is why these scams will never get get a penny from me
A scam with such a bloated budget? No, it's an ordinary failure.
Her voice is fine for Waller, but they should have made her skinny ass super fat instead to really fit the role
They should have just made a regular ass game where you played as the Suicide Squad instead of some dumb bullshit made to get you to pay money to level up a battle pass.
Last the year? Hell, it's arguable whether or not it even lasted the month.
Damn those are discord fighting game numbers.
What would've made SSKTJL based instead of cringe?

Captain Boomerang solely uses wacky gimmicky boomerang weapons, Harley Quinn is more BTAS and less Margo Robbie, Deadshot isn't a Black person, the writing isn't post-ironic trash and actually respectful of its wacky superhero roots, the game isn't full price + MTX.
>Captain Boomerang solely uses wacky gimmicky boomerang weapons
Based
ew
Too soulful for NuRocksteady
XCOM gameplay where any playable villain can be killed.
You know, the entire point of calling it a "Suicide Squad" since they're on suicidal missions?
maybe one day consumers will come to the realization that live service is a meme and a scam
Pretty sure the average normalgay knows that, the only ones thriving are CoD and Fortnite, frick, Destiny 2 has been falling apart since last year
Yes, one day they will realize it was all for nothing, then they will latch onto The Next Big Thing. This will never stop, anon.

It's extremely unusual for the people behind propaganda to drop any and all pretenses and just go full dictator without at least trying to hide behind something, i guess things must be in the shitter for them

I truly don't understand why The Crew is getting sued when games like this happen all the time.
Crew is being singled out for the purpose of setting a precedent that will affect other live service games from going down the same path. If it goes well then it will put a stop to shit like Suicide Squad as well.
ok, I get that but still why a game that had a decent life span? Why not something egregious like Anthem which died quick and then they make a huge public thing about how they were going to give it the no mans sky treatment only to then cancel that as well. It just seems like an odd game to use to try and set a precedent.
What difference does it make? It's happening now. The reason it's this game is because it's the best chance to succeed from a legal and technical perspective.
you set a precedent and use that to more easily sue any future bullshit like this.
How I would fix this game
>Brainiac has destroyed a bunch of planets so far and pissed off major villains in the process
>this now explains the team up of
>Lobo
>Mongul
>Sinestro
>uhh... idk some woman
fixed
> Heavy Metal at home.
Don't they HAVE to give players(no matter how little) the promised DLC, or they'll get sued? I think Saints Row still gave out their promised DLC, despite the game being a flop.
They'll probably handle it the same way Gearbox handled the tina wonderlands dlc, a few 10 minute long half-assed missions that's treated as full big expansions
>Don't they HAVE to give players(no matter how little) the promised DLC, or they'll get sued?
Who is going to be sued if the company shuts down? More than 100 people already left the company prior to the game releasing and there's only 100 people left.
They had some * in the blurbs for the Season pass etc, they said they could cancel it with reasonable notice. Worst case scenario though if they don't think that will hold up is issuing automatic refunds for the difference between base game and the season pass edition, or just refunding the passes. There is precedent for that as well as Creative Assembly did that with Total War Pharaoh.
The guy that killed himself due to stress over working on this game must feel pretty silly right now
If anything, he saved himself from the postlaunch suffering.
>Life imitates art
He finna join the real Suicide Squad
It's not even the real JL is it? Aren't they clones
It's multiverse garbage. So it is the real JL, but it's not the *only* JL.
Wasn't there leaks showing they were Braniac clones?
The Flash told Diana they all need to be killed when she lassoed him so they're the real deal.
>have tons of cool characters
>have the justice league
>make a fricking suicide squad game featuring harley and literal nobodies
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
To be dair the guardians of the galaxy were literal nobodies before the movie made them popular. It all comes down to the writing being shit.
basically all MCU were B-C Tier in popularity with the normies till the movies came out.
all the popular stuff (4F, Spiderman, X-men) was sold to Sony in the mid 90s to avoid bankruptcy
They could have at least let us play as more fun villains, like Mr. Freeze. At least him taking on the Justice League is more "believable", and his ice weapons would be fun to use.
What do you mean? Didn't you see how much of a massive success SS movies were? Who WOULDN'T want to capitalize on it and make a live service looter shooter in 2024?
Why didn't you go see her movie, Ganker?
>that title
>that harley outfit
>that cass
>that black black canary
Fun Fact: After premiere, they added the Harley bit to the title and re-released it because they needed the name as an eye catcher. Normies didn't know anything about the skwad.
and holy shit that's supposed to be huntress isn't it
I saw this at my ex’s place when it first started streaming, and only remember that because after it was over she convinced me to frick her on her family’s covered balcony while everyone else was sleeping inside. It was really awkward since I straight up creampied this girl while like 5 people slept on the other side of a wall, but also kind of hot so when people mention this movie I get turned on.
>she convinced me to frick her on her family’s covered balcony while everyone else was sleeping inside.
Why did you leave her?
Margot Robbie is the worst thing that ever happend to Harley Queen.
Because nobody actually likes Harry outside of porn. She's fine in small doses but she's always been incredibly fricking annoying when put front and center.
I gave this movie a chance. It was fricking terrible. Pandering nonsense with viral bait fricking everywhere. The breakfast sandwich scene is a good example.
is this the scene? I don't see anything wrong with it
I legitimately don't understand why Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad gets shilled so hard.
Because Harley got turned into a feminism symbol, even when she was just a crazy bawd originally
I mean, the game's holding steady at a cool 500-ish players
That should be more than enough to support Rocksteady for the next 2 or 3 years, right?
Ah yes men in suits are happy a GAAS game based on a popular superheroes IP have a constant sustainable healthy number pf 500 players.
no lie I will buy and play the shittiest games if it has cute girls in it, that's how easy I am
but they dev do the weirdest shit
im so glad seeing all these companies get destroyed
This is the game that shot Batman in the head and killed the rest of the JUST ice league lmao
This is the story content that thought it had earned this changing of the guard. I am glad the people in charge of Rocksteady left. What warner bros did to the Rocksteady brand with this pile of shit, and what this game did to the Batman story can never be undone. Rockstead spent a decade and a half of great games building Batman up (with one or two missteps) and then the new team that's left does this shit
Nu-writers are parasites. They cannot write. They have no values of their own so they have no idea how to earn respect or how to write a story worth reading. Instead they just destroy. They destroy the foundation of the part and the characters that have their own story. These writers wear the deaths of 'sacred cows' on their chest like badges or pins without realizing that the world they are making is a world without characters. Once you burn all the houses down you have no where to sleep. Once you kill off all your sacred cows you have no more food left. Once you kill off all your beloved characters, you are left with nothing but nihilistic despondence.
They have killed their heroes and wonder who will save their house in crisis.
Gotham Knights coomer bros, we won. Batgirl's game outlived the live service Harley Quin Suicide Squad game.
It's funny how Suicide Squad game makes this game look "not that bad" in comparison. Same with Arkham Knight.
You'd be right. I got everything in Arkham Knight except the Riddler stuff and I soured on the tank batmobile. It was bad, replaying right now and it's still bad but I'm giving it a pass from 7/10 to 8/10 after the Complete Edition with all DLC pack was on sale for $5. Since Rocksteady will likely be closed this year (look at all the layoffs lately), it should be mentioned that WarnerBros Montreal (Arkham Origins, Gotham Knights) is hiring to make another game and everything points to the Harry Potter IP. It's really funny that the studio WarnerBros and Rocksteady called the B team is outliving Rocksteady and didn't ruin Batman/Kevin Conroy the way Suicide Squad KTJL did. WB Montreal avoided the closure guillotine because at least Gotham Knights is a single player focused game with a working offline mode on all discs, didn't waste 10 years to develop, has solid breasts and ass Batgirl, and doesn't need upkeep costs to maintain.
Meanwhile KTJL Suicide Squad took nearly a decade to release, the return on investment must be abysmal with its poor sales, the game's always online DRM means once End Of Service hits all the discs out there are worthless, the micro transactions store means they won't be a modding scene to "fix" this product, the story mode is unapologetically unfinished at a running clock of 3 hours of cutscenes that end on Live Service as your Second Job, Harley Quinn will always be ugly and forced, every season of ""content"" is upkeep costs for a dead playerbase, word of mouth and reviews are poison to anyone curious, and the game was already discounted at launch everywhere. I like the shark guy, though.
Feel real bad that we lost a Batman Beyond game to Harley Quinn C lister the video game.
>Batman Beyond game to Harley Quinn C lister the video game
You could have had a video game with them in it, and they took it away from you.
I love how there was 0 Harley in all of Batman Beyond until the Joker movie and she paid their bail. Then she proceeds to rant and smack her granddaughters in the butt with her cane, pure comedy gold.
Pretty realistic poses, you can tell the artist used visual reference for that reaction :^)
Bruce Timm is a shameless coomer. He also drew actual porn of DC girls.
And marlel for that matter. Sue Storm in particular.
Batman Beyond was horny as frick
Not Beyond but Harley shaking her ass https://youtu.be/baWC7buWmDA
> Literally Harley and Nightwing's twin daughters.
What a waste.
lmao, get fricked
People b***hed about Harley Quinn being in the game, and not Joker. So they gave the players a homosexual Joker.
Millennial women really think that this kind of writing appeals to young men.
>masking insecurities
yeah no fricking shit, are these roasties really that dumb?
I'm so tired of seeing both the Joker and any of his henchmen.
Even if it didn't flopped, I fail to see why tf would anyone want to sit through 13 seasons of "shoot the same Brainiac and JL but slightly altered".
Its actually embarrassing that Ganker predicted this game would fail straight away.
Its like they never heard of Marvels Avengers.
Wait this was a live service game?
I assumed with how bad it was it was just a "pull the wool over peoples eyes and try and scam them into making the box purchase" angle
They actually had intentions to support and produce further content for this shit, knowing how bad it was?
I’m sure the women, trannies and homosexuals that they pandered to will swoop in to save them.
This is a f2p game
Not sure why they tought they could sell it for 70$ lmao
Why is DC so fricking adamant on making Suicide Squad the next big thing?
>2016 movie is shit
>other movie is literally who
>birds of prey jobbed to sonic
>game is shaping up to be this year's nu-saint's row
Everything involving SS has been shit even by capeshit standards, why keep bothering with it?
why do you post this every thread?
I want answers dammit.
It's not about the money, it's about sending a message. Your time is over chuds. This is what real fans want.
Because bunch of women one halloween dressed up in new Harley Quinn costumes and DC assumes this is because Suicide Squad is actually really popular.
classic case of thinking people will watch your new drivel for its own merits rather than whatever ties it has to things they already like
The 2016 movie was a massive financial success. It made over $700 million in box office. Everything about their massive SS and Harley pushes was greenlit right after it.
Warner Bros just didn't get that SS 2016 was a success because of successful marketing that semi-accidentally lured in normalgays who don't normally watch capeshit, and because Margot Robbie as Harley was allowed to be coombait in it.
Since then WB has had misguided trust on audiences having genuine interest in Suicide Squad and in Harley's success having something to do with feminist representation while neither were ever the case.
I just brought Arkham Knight and downloading it
>tfw WB recouping their cost by constantly putting Arkham trilogy on sale
>STILL no 60fps patch for PS5
>'Safe' picks, by Suicide Squad standards - no obscure characters like Polka-Dot Man, Rat Catcher II, etc
>No group volatility - never risk of someone going rogue
>No risk of any of the main cast dying. Luthor dies, and they JUST FRICKING GET ANOTHER
Suicide Squad In Name Only
>make a bad game with shit gameplay and gaas shit (Singleplayer)
>WTF WHY DID IT FAIL? THE CONSUMERS ARE THE PROBLEM
The cherry on top of this was conroy's last performance as batman was dog shit. He could have EASILY REPLACED wonderwoman but WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE A STRONK FEMALE CHARACTER BE A GOOD GUY.
frick off.
>The cherry on top of this was conroy's last performance as batman was dog shit. He could have EASILY REPLACED wonderwoman but WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE A STRONK FEMALE CHARACTER BE A GOOD GUY.
as much as people clamor about this it would not have fixed game's other problems
God, "she" is so fricking ugly, I physically cringe whenever I see her as much as I hate to use that term.
Someone pointed out that she kinda looks like Sylvester Stallone and now I can't unsee it, kek.
i've seen people saying it's the hottest ww model we've ever had and i'm amazed there are people with such shit taste
WarnerBros Montreal Batgirl
coomers are greenlit for another game
>https://wbgamesmontreal.com/jobs/r000078320/
Rocksteady Studios on the other hand is on suicide watch and WarnerBros is still paying to create content for a dead playerbase. Close to 10 years they financed the development and continued support of Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League.
Saddest thing is they just needed to develop a Batman Beyond game and they would've raked in the cash.
red glowin nips
keeek, I knew a game would dethrone babylon's fall
They should have just made a Batman game where you play as the villains like Mr. Freeze, Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, etc. Who the frick wants to play with the moronic characters they chose?
No, they should've just made a batman game where you save a corrupted justice league. No one wanted to play as the villains in any situation.
>tfw no Supergirl game where you can fly over an entire state and look up her skirt
it was a better time
She was a real dick to those geese.
>not the scene where her and babs are flying through gotham, babs sitting on karas back
It has pantsu.
This will sell our game.
Batgirl ass will save our studio from closure.
I wonder what lesson WB is going to get from this.
>superheroes clearly suck, we won't greenlight those games anymore
They would be right.
The only exception I can think of are old Batman trilogy, but let's be real - games of that quality won't ever happen again in this nightmare landscape that is real world.
I loved the old spiderman games. The web swinging along was hours of fun. It felt so fluid. The new spiderman games feel so janky I don't know what it is.
Maybe after the crash industry will again understand that sex is not about being sexist, is cause it sell
Elegg Pushed NIKKE over 600M profit
Why the frick was this Games as a Service anyway? It sounds like a perfect fit for a linear single player story
>Why the frick was this Games as a Service anyway?
You know why.
Yeah but it doesn't even FIT, and has proven to be an exceptionally boneheaded move.
Executives and shareholders are soulless idiots.
Because as far as shareholders are concerned you must always chase the hypothetical All the Money (making your own Fortnite money printer) or you might as well not do any business at all.
It is almost comedic how Warner Bros is dismissing Hogwarts Legacy selling over 20 million copies as an once and done single player experience, while Suicide Squad flops and WB suits are still hellbent on continuing their chase of the GAAS golden goose.
i don't even understand how it's a live service game. it looks linear as frick and seems like there's nothing to do except grind the type of open world missions most people skip in single player games
>three of the five bosses are just the flash
KEKEKEKEKEK
>The flash saves the JL multiple times
>They don't care about him while also saying WW is the best person ever.
Im kinda surprised Suicide squad was universally hated.
I mean, of course anyone with knowledge of Rocksteady games would hate this turd, but I was afraid zoomers would enjoy this Crackdown meets Fortnite game
Seems everyone decided to hate on it, maybe for different reasons
The Arkham fans were never going to enjoy it and the zoomers who like this sort of stuff have better options available.
>Seems everyone decided to hate on it, maybe for different reasons
Its just a bad game.
Market if flooded with live service titles and people already annoyed by the trend, so they have a comparison.
Also people still pissed of by Avengers live service games and how that was treated by the devs, that game too came out with no content on a promise of "next season" only to release frick all and get shut down.
Saying "people just hate it" takes away from how bad it really is compared to all the other simillar games on the market.
>Planned like 4-5 seasons for it
>Game literally dies within a week
How tone deaf does the developers/publisher have to be? Good god. They really HYPED it up and even DELAYED THE GAME for a YEAR and still released it with no real changes.
>Planned like 4-5 seasons for it
Thats the thing, they didnt plan shit.
The next season is killing Brainiac again and again? Thats it? Thats the content?
Its like a random idea you make up the spot to have anything to say, its not a plan.
Their roadmap includes and i quote "3 new characters", "3 new environments", "new Riddler content" and "more".
Really? Thats a plan for 12 fricking months? You get more characters with guns to shoot the same 10 enemies in the same few mission types but now you get joker and a clown themed buildings to run on?
So the art team rigs and animates joker, and 3 extra characters, and makes some baloons to be placed on couple buildings, frick entire rest of the studio gonna do?
>Planned like 4-5 seasons for it
It's like planned Anthem overhaul, they sell you a test build and see is the playerbase big enough to continue
Men want gameplay
Women want an interactive story
Men are the majority
Women are the minority
Industry has been appealing to everytrhing but its main demographic for 10+ years now and people are sick of it.
All the big studios deserve their loss.
> Men want gameplay
Explain to me the existence of JRPG’s and jap games like Metal Gear Solid and Yakuza.
Metal gear has great gameplay
xmfd
Women just want to play Candy Crush or Animal Crossing.
The only way you can reel them in into more traditional games is by adding romance options
Men want good stories and good gameplay.
Women don't give a shit about video games in general. They're just butthurt men prefer vidya over wasting time and money on them.
kinda unrelated but I noticed geohot will ls -l as if its a tick
No they don't want a story, they just wanna rp relationships
Women only care about shipping. They don't play games, unless it's on a stream, in order to rack in cash from the most evil scum alive, called simps.
Women like games that they can play like they were playing house, The Sims, Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley are popular among women for a reason. Also, Disney Dreamlight Valley has sold millions.
>won't last the year
???
Was this some stupid GaaS game?
Yes, but that's only one of this game's many issues
Pretty sure that affects ALL the other issues wrong with it, aside from the narrative aspects. GaaS dictates the gameplay and the “loop”, after all, you’re supposed to spend 100’s+ hours on this thing.
Christ, I just thought it was a bad co-op game or something. How the frick is this even a GaaS game? It seems like it has a pretty one-and-done idea.
why, you go to OTHER multiverses, and defeat Brainiac in those realities, too! That way, you can fight...
>Batman Brainiac
>Green Lantern Brainiac
and who knows what other exciting moveset swaps they had planned!
How can they see the Destiny series and still decide to make that move? Have they forgotten the 1st Destiny games original promise? Wasn't it like 10 years of content and then a year and a half later they dropped that fricking idea hard. Fricking halo died for it.
> Pay for game.
> Deleted in a year.
> "It's your own fault, Chud!"
Welcome to american corporatism.
>a game about a gang of misfits
>a fricking shooter
Concept isn't even that bad. I'd play a coop game with Ratcatcher rat rts, Deathstroke weaboo sword action, Captain Boomerang autism with trajectories, Bizarro rip and tear with gimmicks and so on. You think with a cast of different characters they'd have fun trying out new gameplay concepts instead of giving everyone a gun.
Suicide Squad is the worst super hero team ever made. I don't know how the first movie succeeded. Even HQs flopped back in the day.
Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find out that the chuds are at fault for this too.
It flopped before release, they really thought this shit was even going to last a month?
>In conclusion, defund the police.
Post your face for not buying or playing any of that trash
I love how one of the jokers got completely erased from history.
Are you proud of yourselves, chuds?
I am. And I'll fricking do it again. Try and stop me.
Suicide Squad is the most forced new franchise of the past 10 years. It made one movie that solid about as well as your average mid 2010s Marvel movie, and a bunch of thots went as Harley Quinn for Halloween that year.
This prompted them to greenlight a sequel movie, a TV show, a Harley Quinn movie, and a AAA video game. All of which bombed.
I hate the concept but a GCS game would have made more.
imagine wasting 5 years of your life making this god-awful slop instead of new batman or superman kino and everybody hates you for it.
>imagine wasting 5 years
They made it for fricking 9 years, ever since WB Montreal's original attempt at Suicide Squad game was cancelled in 2016.
Yeah, imagine lazing around all day while getting paid some insane salary for 9 years. I'm sure they feel terrible.
9 years!
>imagine wasting 5 years
We got the Arkham trilogy in about 6 years, truly shows how incompetent this current team is.
There are morons Who payed 60$ or more for this shit lmao
I bet they're so happy they made this a live service looter shooter now.
I legit don't understand, how is that a game that just came out can't last forever? An online service I get it, but why would a single player experience be doomed to not be accessible any longer? I seriously can't follow the slop trends anymore
For all intents and purposes it's not a single player game.
Serious question: what will they learn from this experience?
But you kill Brainiac at the end of the storymode? What is the point of seasons and whole loot rarity shit when you can complete the game with somewhat basic loot and without even dabbing in coop or online activities at all?
You don't just kill Brainiac, silly! You kill one of 13 Brainiacs that are all over the Elseworlds (DC multiverse)! The rest of them are supposed to be the future content drip.
I doubt that each of these Brainiacs would get their own campaign on par with length and production value as original game. Like, each with their own version of JL or SS themselves, all with voiceacting and motion capture. Probably would be some cheap model swap with unvoiced text for mission briefings.
Anyway, good riddance.
>Not only do they kill the justice league and brainiac
>but also supposed to do it TWELVE more times
People can't dedicate their time to ALL the live service games. Personally, I had heard of Suicide Squad having a new game, have no idea what it is, how it plays or anything. Just now seeing this was intended to be live service? Isn't it just capeshit single player stuff like Spiderman?
Either way, I have at least 3 games I play regulalry that I give my time to. Most gamers will be the same, having another live service game to keep up with its content, missions etc, it's just too much lol. I think that's why games like BG3 and Palwrold have been seeing HUGE success, because it's a return to having the whole fricking game as soon as you've bought it. None of this gameplay loop to hook you into spending money on trash cosmetics.
Sweet baby inc strikes again
Remember: IT'S NOT ABOUT EARNING MONEY
THEY WANT TO BRAINWASH YOU WITH THEIR PROPAGANDA. IT IS POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL WARFARE
can they still recover after this tortanic and go back to making good games?
I love when the trannies come in these threads to sperg out
They should just shut it down asap.
Who are they trying to fool? The investors? The whole industry is going to shit, why are they keeping this game up.
>why are they keeping this game up.
PR reasons. Imagine selling a gaas game for 100 bucks and then shutting it down in a few weeks.
I guess they could get sued too
Nope. User Agreement states they can pull the plug whenever they want, kek.
The industry no longer has a market for shitty copy pastas.
Get ready, the gaming industry bubble is about to burst and it's going to be spectacular.
>The industry no longer has a market for shitty copy pastas.
Madden and Cod were in the top three best selling video games of 2023. I don't think copy pasted triple A dreck is going anywhere anytime soon.
>elseworlds
so creative, I can feel the passion of these game developers
>[observation] Your numbers are... No... No no no no...
STOP. KILLING. GAMES.
It’s already going for $20 off. Anyone that paid $100 for this dog shit is moronic. 3 whole days early for $20 more. And it was down half that time. morons will continue to be milked.
At least we epically owned the chuds right? Thas right we're going to humiliate and kill your favorite characters! W-wait why isn't it doing well? BUY OUR GAME CHUDS
