>I just wanted a fun co-op action game to play
how would you enjoy it or have fun with god awful cape shit designs
it could have the best gameplay since geometry wars (the best game ever made period btw) and it'd still be painful to play with all those horrible designs look at you through the screen
Who the Frick said anything about co-op? I'm just glad that January 2024 isn't going to be remembered as DC's First Failure of 2024, i can proudly say that on the my 24th birthday Palworld was released.
The real "it's not THAT bad" period will come about 9-12 months after release, when it's entirely lost any relevance. Contrariancore c**ts started trying this shit a few weeks ago with Forspoken.
It's actually over.
It's never been more over for a game.
I fully expect Rocksteady to suffer the blame for all the corporate bullshit and get shut down a few months after the game flops.
Rocksteady is just a name at this point, there wasn't a single person who worked on the Arkham series working on this game. None of the original devs are there anymore. Just another Bioware.
square enix give vinny keys all the time and he openly makes fun of bad decisions while enjoying the rest.
I dont watch yes men reviewers, infact I usually watch random gameplay (like starfield....) and make my own opinion (its shit)
>error you mistyped captcha
was the goal to make it unreadable to humans but the auto solvers still work?
a sad byproduct of the whamen be heros trend
when they noticed how popular Harley was they wanted her to spearhead the movement and thus had to make her a hero because women are not allowed to be anything other that strong perfect beings anymore
>thousands of women want to be joker's frick bawd >they make harley ditch the joker and stop dressing like a bawd
it's fricking hilarious how quickly harley fell out of favor with women because of this.
She's a ship of Theseus. They changed everything about the character in order to accommodate her popularity, but all of those things they changed made her popular in the first place. Now nothing remains of her original appeal.
Ever since they started forcing her on Poison Ivy and ditching Joker in all of her latest media yeah
Harley X Ivy has always been a thing, but now they’re trying to make it seem like “she don’t need no man!!!” Even though her relationship with Joker is one of her defining features and why so many people cared about her in the first place
for me it's just how much they tried to force her as being anything but a comic-relief henchman. this was not that deep of a character, she's just a dumb obsessed joker lackey with sex appeal. she was never meant to be more than that. she got too popular and then the suits were like "well now we have to make her more than just a dumb obsessed joker lackey with sex appeal".
She had the depth of being too dumb to realize she was trapped in a relationship with an egotistical psychopath but they definitely fricked up making her another YAS KWEEN DC Deadpool. Shame.

She realized perfectly she was in an abusive relationship.
It's just like every Batman villain. She's genuinely mentally ill. Her mental illness is her obsession with the Joker.

Yeah, mad love is one of the best Batman episodes and it's all about Harley's depth as a character, and her backstory.
Harley always had potential to be a good character, even on her own, even if you put her in the obligatory gal pals duo with Ivy.
But you can't divorce her from the Joker because the entire point of her character, her entire motivation and tragedy IS because of him. And it isn't enough to just have her turn against him or whatever else. You need to maintain some sort of that mania and obsession. You need to always question if she's going to turn and do whatever the hell the Joker asks because she's that sick in the head. Otherwise that's the point? It's like doing Mr Freeze without Nora, or Two Face without his split personality, or Riddler without the riddles.

Remember when Harley mass murdered people (mostly children) with exploding video game cartridges just because she wanted Joker to notice her?

But since she is a woman, she has zero accountability.
I do not blame Rocksteady. Why would you offer review copies to a bunch of chuds who have already talked crap about all of your hard work? Reviewers should be grateful that they get review copies at all. Bunch of leeches.
It's just hit me that companies shell out so much money for ads like these, and I don't know anyone who's seen these. Where do they even show these ads? Who are these for? These types of ads can't be worth the money. I'm truly baffled
>Starfield jobbing to Baldur's Gate 3 >Suicide Squad jobbing to Palworld >Horizon Forbidden West PC version jobbing to Dragon's Dogma 2
IT KEEPS HAPPENING
Ha ha ha, y-yeah she is! Its eh, NEW Harley! with feminism, she is soo cool and strong and of course GAY! Yess your favorite character is now LGBTQXYZ! VERY topical. Oh yeah and she's so good she can beat Batman, and when she's not around everybody in the game is like "hey where's Harley? Oh and the Joker? Ha ha a WHITE. MALE. LOOOOOOOSER! Also Kevin Conroy's last lines were "oh harley quin.. you were.. cough so much better than me.. cough.. and cooler.. y-you will now be the Batman! No, not Batgirl or Batwoman.. you will be the BatMAN! Cuz you're.. cough superior....beeeeeeeeeep!"
Imagine being a Rocksteady employee.
You were the guy who lovingly sculpted Batman's asscheeks in Arkham Asylum.
After making a solid trilogy of games, you're excited to work on a Superman game (and give him a nice ass).
Suddenly the game is cancelled and you're told you're now working on a live service game for a shitty movie.
You watch all the big names at your company leave.
You spend 8 years working on the game, making reskinned gun after reskinned gun.
You know the game is awful but you keep working because you gotta eat.
The trailer drops, everyone hates it. The game gets delayed and you spend another half year.
The game gets leaked early and everyone hates it.
The game gets previews and even the journos who get bribed to lick AAA devs' ballsacks hate it.
Corpo decides to not to hand out review codes, dooming the game even further.
You now have a few months to update your resume and use your connections to find a new job before you get laid off.
Your rent has tripled since Arkham Asylum came out.
Your pasta lost me when you didn't keep talking about how that employee couldn't keep sculpting man asses every two or three sentences, like: >You spend 8 years working on the game, making reskinned gun after reskinned gun instead of sculpting The last son of Krypton's supple derriere >The game gets leaked early and everyone hates it. You knew it would happen because King Shark's fish nature made him unsuitable for an sculpted ass.
nah you're underaged, everyone commented on that when the Arkham games came out because, being a third person game, it took up close to 10% of the screen every time his cape blew (which was any time you were outside)
>underaged
yeah dude, i totally want to worship batman's digital ass and lick his bumhole and marvel at the leather texture of his body suit and share stories all over the internet about how vulgar i am while drinking Monster, Reign, and PRIME >fricking idiot
I don't watch cape stuff, and have no idea who most of these characters are, or why people are pissed off at this. Then again, I've never watched Suicide Squad. How bad is it?
The first Suicide Squad movie was absolutely atrocious. It's not enjoyable by anyone, DC fan or complete newbie to capeshit. The bar was already extremely low, and that trash fire somehow lowered it even further.
The second movie wasn't quite as bad, but it was still awful.
Yes.
And some of the characters in the first Suicide Squad get killed off at the start of the second Suicide Squad. Only character who appears in all three is Harley.
Yes.

It will forever boggle my mind how the frick so many WB executives were convinced that Harley is going to be the savior of their brand. She genuinely must be some essential stakeholder's waifu.
I give this shit a lifespan of 6 months TOPS before all support is abandoned and Rocksteady is closed down. Bit sad because I loved the first two Arkham but really, there is nothing salvageable now
Warner Bros is obsessed with the Suicide Squad for some inexplicable reason. I’m pretty sure this was supposed to be a Superman game until they forced it to be a Suicide Squad game
>mfw Harley went from mindbroken clown girl that had the chance to be a decent anti-hero to the left's favourite bisexual queen that needs no man
I will never forgive the gays that did this.
>early Suicide Squad comics design were peak
That was fricking dogshit, the only non-jester Harley designs that aren't complete shit are the Arkham games
This. Harley was designed to be attractive to Batman's male audience. Nu-Harley is lame and exists to sell merch to moron BPD girls who don't even care about Batman enough to see that shit Harley Quinn Birds of Prey movie.
The fact that such a great design has been taken from us in favor of this ugly shit is criminal.
>Harley's breasts
If you were to describe the shape of her breasts in this picture, what would you call them? Torpedoes? Whatever they are, I want more of them.
Yeah, they're torpedo breasts, they're just on the smaller side. Timm's style was influenced by a lot of 50's/60's stuff and it was a lot more common back then. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of people that draw them that way and I guess some people find it goofy looking.
Back in college, I was fooling around with this goblina shortstack and she had breasts like that, but a bit bigger. Never seen a pair like that in my life, nor ever again. It's a shame, they were amazing.
Not even just anti-hero, but full-blown redemption. The Joker is the source of all her problems and corruption in virtually every story she's introduced in. Having her embrace his lifestyle and villainy with zero second thoughts and change nothing about her personality and life with him out of the way is the pinnacle of poor writing. I cannot name a character that fell off as hard as Harley Quinn did
The only time Harley Quinn was an actually good character was when she was a lovestruck fangirl who gigglesqee'd for joker wiener so hard she threw away her career as a psychologist to babysit him while wearing latex fetish gear.
Every single iteration of the character that has gotten away from this premise has been terrible. Popular or not, she's just not an interesting character anymore. Also, making her a lesbo with Poison Ivy not only ruined Harley, but ruined Poison Ivy too.
Imagine that, ruining two great female characters to appeal to dykes who literally do not read comics, play the video games, or watch the movies they are trying to sell us. Fricking brilliant.
Early era Suicide Squad and the comics that started redeeming Harley were good... And then the Suicide Squad movie got made and ruined her, followed by that shit cartoon that goes out of its way to make the male characters incompetent.
It's the same reason why Disney turned Star Wars into a girlboss franchise - "the force is female" Same reason why MCU after Avengers 3 became the story of the She-ro's Journey, where the badass woman is always great and it just takes time for everyone else to realize that. Literally every Marvel show and movie these days is that plotline, and about some stale male passing the torch to a woman. The people in charge of these decisions these days are mostly old childless hags and weird dykes.
In fact, I would say that the idea of a hot piece of ass giving up her career to become some psycho killer's lover is a deep-seated fantasy of every one of these frigid c**ts and as such it needs to change.
>you fight humans that have purple blobs on them that you have to shoot >you fight tanks that have purple blobs on them that you have to shoot >you fight helicopters that have purple blobs on them that you have to shoot
I have no idea why Rocksteady thought shooting purple blobs was a great idea for a game.
It was announced a bomb the moment they uttered the words Suicide Squad.
Normies and everyone else alike hated the movies. Why would they be remotely interested in this shit.
The final nail in the coffin was the leaked footage showing it was a GaaS game. Them coming back after saying they will work on the game with the GaaS still in it was the dirt burying it. And the headstone was this.
It's been dead forever. We've just been running through the motions.
Hmmm considering tekken, palworld and endshrouded will be being played I say about 4500 max with busted first day online support making it drop to like 3200 the next day.
I don't know why I feel so bad for this game. I've never even read a comic book but for some reason I thought this would be the game that kinda gets it.
It's so shameful for such a great dev.
>for such a great dev
Rocksteady isn't Rocksteady anymore. The good people who made the Arkham games are gone. No use feeling bad for the parasites left
>multiverse shenanigans
when is this "multiverse" meme going to die? like one movie did it and was popular, every other one that has tried to force it has been cancer and no one likes it.
>Get out of jail free card for hackfraud writers >Lets you put a morbillion of the same bullshit on screen but they look slightly different
It's going to be a while, homie.
Apparently the reason that deadshot is black is because the guy from the arkham games wasn't actually deadshot but just a guy pretending to be deadshot. It's also because will Smith was deadshot and they decided to use that as the baseline for some reason.
>the reason that deadshot is black is because the guy from the arkham games wasn't actually deadshot but just a guy pretending to be deadshot
amazing and clever plot twist!
hopefully they'll allow black deadshot to frick harley quinn, it would be such a shame to turn one of the characters into a Black person and then not pair him with a white woman
She's a lesbian now, the mandate demands she gets with a black woman instead.
the character choices are genuinely bizarre. out of damn near countless options that's what they decided to go with?
Yeah, it's fricking moronic, probably not helped by the instance everyone had to use guns. At least avengers, whilst terrible, allowed Thor to use the hammer and didn't give him a AK.
The game will probably be filled with moments like that because everyone working on this game is aware they're getting fired. So they might as well have some fun.
If I were on the textures and graphics team, I would have made something like graffiti that says something like "WB sucks ass" and snuck in somewhere obscure like in an alley at the edge of the map and behind a trashcan.
Leto-coded as frick
on that note, were there any people who actually liked Leto's Joker unironically? I know Ganker really had a field day making fun of him but did normies hate him too?
They are not even selling season passes as part of preorders. They got zero confidence. They are fully prepared to pull the plug instead of locking themselves in contractual obligation to actually make all of this.
Don't worry, it gets more moronic since the characters you're getting in the other DLCs are a female Mr Freeze, Deadshots daughter and Deathstroke. At least deathstroke makes sense but who the frick wants a Female freeze as a character?
I'm sorry Anon but she's listed as Victoria Fries according to the leaks. They really are that moronic.
I don't read comics but I remember Killer Frost from the Justice League cartoon.
She was a psycho who apparently liked to kill and nothing else. Why not using her? she would be perfect for a group of amoral supervillians.
I assume they want want easy to recycle ice related assets like they did in injustice for upcoming characters like Captain Cold and the blue haired blue chick i forgot the name
JUST SHUT THE FRICK UP ABOUT PALSHIT ALREADY
YOU SPERGS ARE GOING TO FRICKING RUIN POKEMON JUST FOR A GODDAMN MEME ON THE ITNERNET THIS SHIT ISN'T FRICKING FUNNY IM SO GODDAMN TIRED OF SEEING THESE SBIT ASSET FLIPS YOU DUMB FRICKING IDIOTS
are you people seriously so goddamn jaded you would let pokemon be abused like this? What do you think happens if pals take off and really steal the pokemon audience ? Tou don't like the recent games? Damaging the brand isn't going to fix them you pieces of shit they will get worse.
Mods need to fricking start nuking these goddamn threads already. It's clearly just fricking trolls trying to make pokefans mad and hurt pokemon. Godsamn incel culture war morons l.
SHUT THE FRICK UP ALREADY!!! mods move this shit to /trash/ please
I think it's the new devs showing their insecurity over all the fans pointing out that those that came before were simply better at what they did.
If they were confident in what they made, they wouldn't spend their time tearing down other people's work.
I will never understand why so many companies seem to be pathologically embarrassed of their past successes.
Also only happens when the "new" design is worst than the old one at that like her name is harley for harlequin hence the jester outfit,what is she now? Just some woman name harley wearing regular clothes?I dont think millienals making this super hero shit understand the purpose of these characters being special.Who wants to be man- man walking around in khaki shorts fighting crime with his brave wahmen of color companions?The shark is the only comic book looking design on this shit and even then he's running around in a tank top...
Warner Bros has this weird marketing philosophy where they only market one game at a time. Meaning for anyone who enjoyed Multiversus and wants to play it again, in order to see what the devs have been working on, they'll have to wait until Suicide Squad releases and thus Warner Bros can move on to advertising the next game.
So a sizable portion of the people who can be categorized as 'Wanting the game to finally release' aren't interested in the game but just want it released and over with so they'll see news about a game they are interested in. That's rough.
Reviewers will now shit on it. Starfield didn't get sent to anyone that might be too negative (EDGE, Eurogamer) and they gave it a 6. This is going to be a 6.
OH MY FAUCI!
The heroes are LE FASCISTS because they beat up downtrodden people!! Our villains are WHOLESOME and REVOLUTIONARIES against the Justice League's system of oppression!
Someone in another thread summed up this dumpster fire fantastically.
It's one of the first vidya appearances of Superman since Injustice 2 over 10 years ago.
The first time he's appeared in an action game since Superman 64
Because he's still right and it's a funny note about how out-of-touch these suits are about making games people want.
That point is still an extremely good one.

Not Superman 64-terrible but yeah they were lame. There's never really been a good Superman game. I guess the SNES beat-em-up was passable and the Injustice games if you count them.
The game was supposed to come out last year but the reception was so bad they delayed it a year. Then re-debuted it with the exact same shit. There are no plans to salvage it, they can't salvage it, it is over.
I think they'd have just shelved it like they did that shitty looking arena shooter, the Batgirl movie, and the Road Runner movie, if they hadn't already sunk a stupid amount of money into it.
It'll be pushed out the door and abandoned once their commitments to season pass holders are met.
This is shaping up to be one of the greatest disasters in videogame history. They spent eight years working on this shit, including almost two years worth of delays. It probably cost them $250MM+ to make. I haven't seen a single person, not one, excited to play the game day one. The best I have heard is that "i'll check it out when it is on sale". Like it is on track to make The Avengers look like Hogwarts Legacy.
>Warner Bros >Taking the hint
They're rebooting the DCEU because their last attempts at being Marvel failed hard. And this is when the MCU is shitting itself to death and audiences are moving away from super hero flicks.
Zaslav recently stated that they want to focus on live service games as well. These Black folk don't take hints. They chase trends after those trends peaked and audiences are getting tired of them.
Don't get me wrong: The first real footage of that game is going to be another wondrous punchline to the joke that is the corporate video game industry.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DCcomics/comments/14ji82b/comic_excerpt_someone_finally_reacts/
Even the shitheads on Reddit think her 'redemption' is bullshit.
It's the same reason we got 6000 mmo's after WoW came out. Execs don't know shit, people come into a board meeting with a pitch and say "look at how much money this game is making, we can do that" and then get the greenlight
you would thing that suits would realise that by the point they release their game the market is going to be saturated to hell and that the game would be doa
You get business guys coming in from other industries and trying to apply the same principles that worked there to the game industry and it ends up not working.
The fact they don't even have the balls to also make Wonder Woman evil is so fricking pathetic.

Have you seen the absolute ocean of shit that's streaming services? Everyone got greedy and wanted a piece of Netflix's pie, and now customers are inconvenienced to the point where once again piracy is the simplest, easiest option. If corporate Black folk could not be moronic every time they think about profits, things would be way less shitty.
Wonder Woman is one of the most pragmatic and warrior-like Leaguers when it comes to fighting; Evil WW would have been pretty nice, basically like fighting against original God of War Kratos.
mate, i wish i didn't have this knowledge, but there are people who pay for multiple streaming services. i know a guy who pays for like minimum 3 of them. i asked him if it's not just easier to go to a torrent site of choice and download his favourite tv series to watch easily, but no. this guy went on a wall of cope saying NOTHING of value. it's just more convenient for him, in a really fricked up way
>Have you seen the absolute ocean of shit that's streaming services?
I guess i shouldnt be surprised that suits only care about the money. > piracy is the simplest, easiest option
The fatguy made a decent video discussing that piracy isnt going to comeback becuase most zoomers are so technologically moronic and dependant that they cant pirate to save their asses. Here is the link to the vid itself.
>f corporate Black folk could not be moronic every time they think about profits, things would be way less shitty.
Man frick venture capitalism.
No? I mean, when Batman fought the JL, he tricked her into thinking she's locked in a perfect stalemate of a fight in her own mind to render her harmless, and another time tricked her into thinking she won just to get away. Muh strong c**t writing, even back then, but that is her one weakness. Funny how Supes is affected by mind control and has his standard green flashlight weakness always brought up, but the woman version of him is not allowed to have weaknesses.

The game comes out literally next week. It would be hilarious if they said "yea you know what, we cant do this, it's canceled." Like when someone breaks up with someone they're sick of before a vacation.
I just remembered that there is a Suicide Squad anime in production to air this year.
So Rocksteady is already ahead of the curve and taking notes from CDPR's Engoodening manual.
Different is that Edgerunners is an amazing show and for all the shit CDPR at least fixed the game.
Do you really think Rocksteady's gonna pull it off? Also who's doing the anime? Which studio?
>CDPR at least fixed the game.
No it didn't, because Cyberpunk 2077 is at its core a flawed game. You can fix bugs but you can't fix poor writing and scenario design.
That's the magic of the Engoodening: Edgerunners gaslit you into believing that Cyberpunk is fixed and you ate it.
What's the point of arguing here? You've already demonstrated a clear bias by bringing up the engoodening meme. But sure why not let me waste my time >amazing plot, story and characters >good combat and level progression with fairly diverse approaches to combat. People were disappointed but that's their own expectations >visually one of the best games still >fairly decent amount of shit to do even outside of gigs
Again, I feel as if people expected shit out of this game that was never going to happen. Meanwhile I stayed clear of it until PL came out and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I hadn't even watched Edgerunners. I just knew the wanna stay at your house meme.

cheese pizza 2077 and edgelordrunners were both shit
it's going to be a bomb as in like it will be a functional 5/10 boring ass loot shooter that will be forgotten by the people who play it in less than a month. it's not going to be a redfall-tier disaster, just a really boring mediocre "oh yeah, that happened" release, kind of like the avengers game.
honest question
why does WB keep trying to force this Suicide Squad meme so hard? this will be flop #3 for them, but it's not like the Justice League or the Avengers where it would make sense to dive in so hard, it's the Suicide Squad. Most of them are literalwho's.
i think that they could have been popular if handled the right way, but the problem here is they did the one movie and it fricking sucked. but rather than saying "shit we fricked that up, let's try another obscure team of nobodies and try not to frick it up this time", they just keep doubling down on the suicide squad for some reason. they did another rebooted SS movie years after the other called THE Suicide Squad and somehow thought that normies weren't gonna look at it and go "ew, no thanks, the last one sucked". now they're doing it again. what possesses a company to be this stupid? it's mind-boggling.
Maybe, I've ignored everything related to The Boys for that reason. At least Castlevania didn't go full moron until S3, even with all the gay shit at least it was still amusing IMO. Really liked their Dracula.
People blaming Rocksteady like it's their fault. They are hired hands by higher ups at Warner Bros. If j recall, they were working on Superman but were told to make a battlepass / shooter game to go after that popular trend because those make $$$.
I’m going to blame them because game devs always stand by their work and b***h at consumers when they inevitably flop. Every year I hear the same spiel about how they worked really hard and put in a lot of hours and made a lot of friends at work, etc etc. It’s a joke. They can’t take criticism unlike every other worker who makes a bad product.
>Defending the suits >Defending the bosses >Placing all the blame on the employees
Why Ganker loves to lick boots like this?
Reminds me of Ganker blaming the Indian coders for Starfield, while ignoring that it was the Bethesda CEOs who hired them even when they lacked the capacities needed for the project.
I’m not defending the bosses. You can’t tell me that the devs behind this game aren’t gonna defend their work like they always do. At least have the decency to admit you’re working for pay instead of creating some high work of art like they always pretend.
>I’m not defending the bosses.
Yes you are.
The bosses are the ones who take the decisions, who allocate the budget and who hire the people. A developer acts like a cretin on Twitter? Blame the project lead who hired people without work ethics to work on the game and allows them to run their mouths.
If I were a shit worker responsible for inflicting damage on my workplace the responsibility wouldn't just fall on me, it would fall on my boss too for not paying attention to my work and allowing the situation to become like that.
Harley only got big due to
1. Coomers
2. Thots with daddy issues who liked her relationship with the Joker
So can someone explain why they're making a game where she has none of these qualities?
Honestly I'm just sad we are probably never getting another game as the arkaham games?
Like yeah we are probably getting more games with similar combat but none where you also have good art direction and story. Even if we did we are probably never getting a series that can deliver 4 times in a row like the arkaham games did.
Yeah but they're saying its arkham because people know and like the arkham games. In reality it probably wasn't the Arkhamverse at the start and it eventually just changed to that to get more interest in the game.
[...]
I don't read comics but I remember Killer Frost from the Justice League cartoon.
She was a psycho who apparently liked to kill and nothing else. Why not using her? she would be perfect for a group of amoral supervillians.
Yeah, it's fricking baffling but I'm guessing they can't be bothered to make up a reason why Killer frost is shooting people instead of using her ice powers. That or they don't know who killer frost is.
Okay guys, non-comic gay here: how can some normal guys with guns and a clown girl with a baseball bat beat Superman, Green Lantern, and The Flash (aka literal gods)?
Can't Superman alone go super speed on their asses and smash their heads like a Dragon Ball Z character in a milesecond?
So? It's still a pretty shit context.
If she can't mind control heroes efficiently, why bother trying to use them as foot soldiers?
Even better, if she earned some level of mind control over them, why didn't she just make them kill themselves? If I could take over my enemies and can't control them I would take the chance to force them to open their own fricking throats.

I mean nta but you just described capeshit comics for the last 20 years and why they have all collectively been getting worse and worse sales to the point they're being beaten by nip comics with even more ridiculous premises
Capeshit trying to have its cake and eat it too with the edge and grimdark while having a mind-control or universe reset every two years pissed off even the most ardent capeshit enjoyer

I don't really remember, but I think she had like all of gotham acting as her "worker bee" slaves. She wanted them alive for reasons. As for the weakness allowing the heroes to win, it's simples, its a book aimed at kids. Comics are almost always just keys jangling
shit like this has happened in DC comics before, and specifically with Brainiac controlling them because it's an easy setup for heroes fighting heroes.
anyone have that video of the Static Shock cartoon where he beats the entire justice league? I think it's the same exact setup as this game.
as someone that watches animated superhero shows, had this game been single player or co-op focused?, it varies on writing, one instance was the Suicide squad donning kryptonite made weapons to deal with superman infused para demons from Darkseid. SS works better when there mostly an espionage unit like that one episode of JJ unlimited tbh
but since its a live service game its just gonna boil down to : Shoot bullet spongey bosses up the ass
>Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
what kind of tards think these are good game titles? does the average gamer even know what suicide squad or the justice league is? sure fanboys will, but then they budget them like broad audience spectacles that'll sell well to everyone from grandma to little mikey.
why not do some small budget focused shit to sell to the fanboys to build things up a bit before they just commit suicide coming out of the gate?
Wait a second
If this is after the Arkham games, how the frick is the Joker back? He died in Arkham Asylum!
Why is the objective “kill the Justice League” and not “kill the guy mind controlling them so we don’t lose our greatest heroes” even though I assume it’s a fakeout because there’s no way they’d actually kill off Batman or Superman
Why are we at the point that gacha games are somehow outdoing AAA games at what they’re supposed to be good at?
> multiverse bullshit
No you moron. This game is beckoning to the times when you didn’t have to connect everything to a huge cinematic universe. It’s the opposite of multiverse.
no I mean literally, that version of the joker is one that's pulled from a different timeline or whatever since the arkhamverse one is dead. that's the in game canon explanation.
Anon, the game’s story is literally that brainiac is attacking multiple earths (which is how DC refers to its multiverse) and the suicide squad finds another Joker on another Earth. It is, indeed, multiverse bullshit.
It's not the same joker, he comes from another universe
and I assume it's a way to both leave the door open for latter playable justice league while keeping the game "gritty"
Antihero/girlboss scenegirl Harley Quinn was a mistake. Eye-candy sexclown Harley that never forgot her crippling one-sided relationship with the Joker was good.
Dont blame them, the beta access preview shit all over the game.
You had people who were given access under NDA willing to say how fricking awful it is even if they pissed off WD, its rare, they game must be on another level of bad.
I giggle at the thought of a parallel universe where Rocksteady made the Justice League game instead... and it's a loot shooter too! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern wearing tacticool gear and using guns, shooting from cover and pressing X + 0 to execute a Justice Strike!
Lol it's clear that you no one here has read any suicide squad comics. They all use guns. Granted cpt boomerang mostly uses his boomerang but even he uses guns in the comics as well. As far as 'hurrdurr how can these normies kill the justice league' crap they've gone up against superman in the comics as well.
Anyone else fricking sick of Harley being put everywhere? At first i didn't mind, but now they make her more ugly with every new gamee and movie. They really overestimate her as a character that Can bring in masses.
Harley used to be the "Hey look we can acknowledge the Animated Series too!" easter egg that gradually took the spotlight from Joker as comics got shittier and shittier and Joker stopped being funny joke man and instead became serious nihilistic man
yeah I most people are tired of her. she got really popular for specific reasons and then they misread her popularity and did stuff with her that went against why people liked her, and the constant forcing of her in this manner turns most people off except for hardcore feminists who don't even watch the movies she's in, read the comics she's in, or play the games she's in.
>The Wall is in the game >It's Debrah Wilson >She's thin
The one time they could have put a fat black woman in a game and no one worth listening to would have a problem with it and they make her thin.
THE WALL being fat is part of her character. She's supposed to have multiple disadvantages: black, fat, w*man. But she rose to the highest levels of the Shadow Government because she's fricking competent and will bleed to keep the flag red
God I fricking love her character in the DCAU
Imagine having a character that's literally every wokegay's wet dream and somehow managing to make her shit. I genuinely don't get it.
Let’s see, we have Palworld taking the world by storm, Tekken 8, Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Elden Ring DLC just around the corner. Some stiff competition even if people hadn’t already written off Suicide Squad.
>how do we follow up our critically acclaimed Batman trilogy that's held as being by far the best and most immersive superhero video game franchise of all time? >I know, live service loot shooter with a cluttered HUD starring an uglified version of a character whose popularity stems 99% from her sex appeal
Wait, I am a moron who can't read and thought you were defending SS when you were talking about Gotham Knights.
I will delete my post and kill myself to atone.
Why would you ever make a game where you KILL the superheroes everyone loves with some no name characters? You make shit like that DLC for a superhero game, not the main focus. Pants on head, sharpie in pooper moronic.
It's a shame that the original Suicide Squad comic from John Ostrander is buried under a mountain of trash now. It's a fun read. >Deadshot's interpretation of stopping Flag from killing a senator by any means necessary is just killing the senator himself
Oh come the frick on
This "don't dirty your hands you morally upright hero, let us anti-heroes / villains to do the killing" scene is that much of a lame cliché I've seen it many times on tranime of all media.
That's not the situation at all. Waller didn't want the senator to die. Flag was AWOL at the time. Deadshot was given too much leeway with his orders, and executed them in what he saw as the simplest way.
at least that means theyre not doing some gay shit where the reviewers play a pure copy and give it a high score then theres a release day patch with performance killing drm and live service garbage.
perfectly in line with modern superman media honestly. i started watching that new fake anime superman series and it was like 3 episodes and they introduced a gay robot and gorilla couple who call each other "my love" and I realized I'd stumbled into clownworld shit.
Never seen the show, but if it's the characters I'm thinking of they're pretty old.
Granted this shit was from Doom Patrol, was supposed to be absurdist as frick, and not taken remotly seriously either.
I'll just say that I started playing Arkham Knight a week ago and while I remember people b***hing about BatTank at the time I don't mind it that much, but stealth/predator sections are really weak.
the scenario/level design of the predator sections was definitely weaker in Knight than in previous games. I don't mind the bat tank either, but you WILL be fricking sick of that goddamned thing by the end, especially if you are going for high completion %. it's fine but the game way overuses it.
I'm already annoyed by the amount of Riddler shit... Maybe I don't remember, but it wasn't this bad in Asylum/City.
I played it a couple years ago, and the only part that's really memorable to me is when Joker, completely out of nowhere and with no reason to do so, goes on a spiel about that time he killed Jason Todd. I was just dumbstruck that Rocksteady's writers really thought they'd made a compelling mystery on who the Arkham Knight was.

there's gotta be an arnold copypasta about that >Imagine being Batman in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Arkham Knight, you frickin' mysterious, all enigmatic with your overly obvious foreshadowing and badly masked voice."
The story is absolute garbage in Knight and it has a lot of other problems, but compared to what Rocksteady has become I realize that game was still from the golden age
I'm so glad palworld came out this month
>I just wanted a fun co-op action game to play
how would you enjoy it or have fun with god awful cape shit designs
it could have the best gameplay since geometry wars (the best game ever made period btw) and it'd still be painful to play with all those horrible designs look at you through the screen
Who the Frick said anything about co-op? I'm just glad that January 2024 isn't going to be remembered as DC's First Failure of 2024, i can proudly say that on the my 24th birthday Palworld was released.
I don't care for capeshit. I just wanted a fun co-op action game to play. So I'm sad this is obviously going to bomb and likely be hot shit.
This.
I like monster hunter but I need something else too.
Thank frick for granblue relink I guess.
It's going to be DOA after honeymoon period ends.
Will there even be a honeymoon period? How many people can “it’s not as bad as you think!” marketing really draw in until the game just dies?
The real "it's not THAT bad" period will come about 9-12 months after release, when it's entirely lost any relevance. Contrariancore c**ts started trying this shit a few weeks ago with Forspoken.
ah the austin eruption method
>honeymoon period
Lol, implying there'll even be one.
It's actually over.
It's never been more over for a game.
I fully expect Rocksteady to suffer the blame for all the corporate bullshit and get shut down a few months after the game flops.
publishers force devs to make games they dont want to make.
Then blame the devs nd close the studio once the game flops.
tale as old as time.
Rocksteady is just a name at this point, there wasn't a single person who worked on the Arkham series working on this game. None of the original devs are there anymore. Just another Bioware.
I was gonna go to their website to prove you wrong but all of their featured employees are diversity hires, jfc it's over
They deserve what they get
Are we really going to pretend companies don't just send review copies out to people they know are going to lick their taint?
It's over when even IGN wouldn't eat this slop...
This. When IGN doesn't have faith to make a good article months before to drum up hype... yeah......
That leak damaged it hard, but smart ppl already knew this was shit YEARS ago when they first showed shit off.
It's trivially easy to make a review site and get put on sending lists......
square enix give vinny keys all the time and he openly makes fun of bad decisions while enjoying the rest.
I dont watch yes men reviewers, infact I usually watch random gameplay (like starfield....) and make my own opinion (its shit)

But they could always buy the reviewers, right?
>Thots dress as Harley for one Halloween
>They're still trying to force her however many years later
>They liked her for being a bawdy bad girl
>Remove the sex appeal and make her a hero
So bizarre.
When you remember that Warner Bros is moronic, you'll understand.
a sad byproduct of the whamen be heros trend
when they noticed how popular Harley was they wanted her to spearhead the movement and thus had to make her a hero because women are not allowed to be anything other that strong perfect beings anymore
And it instantly tanked the character's popularity lmao. She was only ever popular for her sex appeal, evilness, and abusive romance with the Joker.
The Injustice comics killed off her character so much it's not even funny
>thousands of women want to be joker's frick bawd
>they make harley ditch the joker and stop dressing like a bawd
it's fricking hilarious how quickly harley fell out of favor with women because of this.
She's a ship of Theseus. They changed everything about the character in order to accommodate her popularity, but all of those things they changed made her popular in the first place. Now nothing remains of her original appeal.
It should be called the Ship of Fecesus, when you replace everything about a thing and the whole thing becomes worse.
Also called enshitification, but I like Ship of Fecesus much better.
did she really lose that much popularity?
Ever since they started forcing her on Poison Ivy and ditching Joker in all of her latest media yeah
Harley X Ivy has always been a thing, but now they’re trying to make it seem like “she don’t need no man!!!” Even though her relationship with Joker is one of her defining features and why so many people cared about her in the first place
for me it's just how much they tried to force her as being anything but a comic-relief henchman. this was not that deep of a character, she's just a dumb obsessed joker lackey with sex appeal. she was never meant to be more than that. she got too popular and then the suits were like "well now we have to make her more than just a dumb obsessed joker lackey with sex appeal".
She had the depth of being too dumb to realize she was trapped in a relationship with an egotistical psychopath but they definitely fricked up making her another YAS KWEEN DC Deadpool. Shame.
>too dumb
She realized perfectly she was in an abusive relationship.
It's just like every Batman villain. She's genuinely mentally ill. Her mental illness is her obsession with the Joker.
Fair enough, though it did take her getting defenestrated and the funnyman slapping her shit after she manages to capture Batman without him.
Yeah, mad love is one of the best Batman episodes and it's all about Harley's depth as a character, and her backstory.
Harley always had potential to be a good character, even on her own, even if you put her in the obligatory gal pals duo with Ivy.
But you can't divorce her from the Joker because the entire point of her character, her entire motivation and tragedy IS because of him. And it isn't enough to just have her turn against him or whatever else. You need to maintain some sort of that mania and obsession. You need to always question if she's going to turn and do whatever the hell the Joker asks because she's that sick in the head. Otherwise that's the point? It's like doing Mr Freeze without Nora, or Two Face without his split personality, or Riddler without the riddles.
Remember when Harley mass murdered people (mostly children) with exploding video game cartridges just because she wanted Joker to notice her?
*powered by nvidia
But since she is a woman, she has zero accountability.
Women find strength in pity and victimhood anon
I do not blame Rocksteady. Why would you offer review copies to a bunch of chuds who have already talked crap about all of your hard work? Reviewers should be grateful that they get review copies at all. Bunch of leeches.
don't worry bros, this will surely save our game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H3pgSBCvN0

Third worlders.
Nobody fricking knows who those actors are in 3rd world land.
t. living in 3rd world land
First world has ads, third world isn't really worth advertising to. You must be really stupid

THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU BOOGIE
No way
it's super rare, but it happens
The game reviewer CHUDS are trying to destroy the careers of all the talented poor developers working on this masterpiece, shame on them
Truly not a red flag
That's not Harley Quinn.
Harley has not been herself ever since Feminism adopted her.
Ha ha ha, y-yeah she is! Its eh, NEW Harley! with feminism, she is soo cool and strong and of course GAY! Yess your favorite character is now LGBTQXYZ! VERY topical. Oh yeah and she's so good she can beat Batman, and when she's not around everybody in the game is like "hey where's Harley? Oh and the Joker? Ha ha a WHITE. MALE. LOOOOOOOSER! Also Kevin Conroy's last lines were "oh harley quin.. you were.. cough so much better than me.. cough.. and cooler.. y-you will now be the Batman! No, not Batgirl or Batwoman.. you will be the BatMAN! Cuz you're.. cough superior....beeeeeeeeeep!"
They know the game is going to be shit but they still want to get $$$ from the early players.
This is confirmation the game is shit. It's over. DOA.
>don't get freebies
>throw a hissy fit
Suffer not a journo to live
it's almost always a sign of shit if the game doesn't have reviews before it's first day
Imagine being a Rocksteady employee.
You were the guy who lovingly sculpted Batman's asscheeks in Arkham Asylum.
After making a solid trilogy of games, you're excited to work on a Superman game (and give him a nice ass).
Suddenly the game is cancelled and you're told you're now working on a live service game for a shitty movie.
You watch all the big names at your company leave.
You spend 8 years working on the game, making reskinned gun after reskinned gun.
You know the game is awful but you keep working because you gotta eat.
The trailer drops, everyone hates it. The game gets delayed and you spend another half year.
The game gets leaked early and everyone hates it.
The game gets previews and even the journos who get bribed to lick AAA devs' ballsacks hate it.
Corpo decides to not to hand out review codes, dooming the game even further.
You now have a few months to update your resume and use your connections to find a new job before you get laid off.
Your rent has tripled since Arkham Asylum came out.
Your pasta lost me when you didn't keep talking about how that employee couldn't keep sculpting man asses every two or three sentences, like:
>You spend 8 years working on the game, making reskinned gun after reskinned gun instead of sculpting The last son of Krypton's supple derriere
>The game gets leaked early and everyone hates it. You knew it would happen because King Shark's fish nature made him unsuitable for an sculpted ass.
humorless gay
everyone can appreciate batman's ass
>batman's ass
this is as moronic as watching e-celebs
nah you're underaged, everyone commented on that when the Arkham games came out because, being a third person game, it took up close to 10% of the screen every time his cape blew (which was any time you were outside)
>underaged
yeah dude, i totally want to worship batman's digital ass and lick his bumhole and marvel at the leather texture of his body suit and share stories all over the internet about how vulgar i am while drinking Monster, Reign, and PRIME
>fricking idiot
damn bro why are you gay?
>You are going to get laid off at the same time as thousands of other vidya employees
>You have Suicide Squad on your resume and they don't
If they're from some AAA company they have some other shitty games in their closet
>forspoken
>starfield
>redfall
They can share the same hole as Volition
Being a 3d model artist in a shitty game is not a problem in your resume. Being a gameplay designer in a shitty game is a problem in your resume.
if it makes you feel any better, all the smart ones probably have spent the last few years getting new jobs lined up elsewhere.
I don't watch cape stuff, and have no idea who most of these characters are, or why people are pissed off at this. Then again, I've never watched Suicide Squad. How bad is it?
The first Suicide Squad movie was absolutely atrocious. It's not enjoyable by anyone, DC fan or complete newbie to capeshit. The bar was already extremely low, and that trash fire somehow lowered it even further.
The second movie wasn't quite as bad, but it was still awful.
Wasn’t the actual sequel that shitty birds of prey movie, then they just made another SS movie with Starro.
Yes.
And some of the characters in the first Suicide Squad get killed off at the start of the second Suicide Squad. Only character who appears in all three is Harley.
It will forever boggle my mind how the frick so many WB executives were convinced that Harley is going to be the savior of their brand. She genuinely must be some essential stakeholder's waifu.
The animated movies are great
>The 'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League' No Reviewers were sent review codes.
Good morning Batsir
>This week: Palworld's scandal
>Next week: Suicide League scandal
Fun times for all
When has a live service capeshit game ever been good besides those old city of heroes games?
We could have had a great Superman game, instead we got a shitty Suicide Squad GaaS.
As if it weren't obvious that the game was ass
this just confirms it.
>Uh, where's my bribe, bro?
I give this shit a lifespan of 6 months TOPS before all support is abandoned and Rocksteady is closed down. Bit sad because I loved the first two Arkham but really, there is nothing salvageable now
>6 months
know what would be even more funnier? 3 months.
Honestly, after Hyenas got killed at like -8 months I don't even know how to guess this shit.
Let's go with 6 for real EoS, but effectivly dead at 3.
Better or worse than Babylon's Fall? Place your bets.
Good. Frick journos, frick streamers, frick youtubers. None of you homosexuals deserve to play the game early.
you seem like the paid shill tho.
>>Bomb is coming
NO SHIT? We've known this since Rocksteady showed off the third person shooter gunplay a year ago. Congrats on catching up?
hopefully this spells the end of the le wacky team of anti-heroes trend
Warner Bros is obsessed with the Suicide Squad for some inexplicable reason. I’m pretty sure this was supposed to be a Superman game until they forced it to be a Suicide Squad game
I just want a fun co op game that isn’t monster hunter…
…bros…?
Helldivers 2 literally comes out a week after this slop
Back to L4D. It's always back to L4D.
>much anticipated
author's taking the piss, right?
>mfw Harley went from mindbroken clown girl that had the chance to be a decent anti-hero to the left's favourite bisexual queen that needs no man
I will never forgive the gays that did this.
But much more importantly, she's no longer hot.
Her original design and early Suicide Squad comics design were peak
>early Suicide Squad comics design were peak
That was fricking dogshit, the only non-jester Harley designs that aren't complete shit are the Arkham games
The only good design she has ever had
it's true. changing her design in arkham asylum was a mistake.
This. Harley was designed to be attractive to Batman's male audience. Nu-Harley is lame and exists to sell merch to moron BPD girls who don't even care about Batman enough to see that shit Harley Quinn Birds of Prey movie.
The fact that such a great design has been taken from us in favor of this ugly shit is criminal.
>Harley's breasts
If you were to describe the shape of her breasts in this picture, what would you call them? Torpedoes? Whatever they are, I want more of them.
Yeah, they're torpedo breasts, they're just on the smaller side. Timm's style was influenced by a lot of 50's/60's stuff and it was a lot more common back then. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of people that draw them that way and I guess some people find it goofy looking.
Back in college, I was fooling around with this goblina shortstack and she had breasts like that, but a bit bigger. Never seen a pair like that in my life, nor ever again. It's a shame, they were amazing.
I would 100% call them torpedo breasts, a magnificent but true rarity in actual breasts.
God bless Bruce Timm.
Not even just anti-hero, but full-blown redemption. The Joker is the source of all her problems and corruption in virtually every story she's introduced in. Having her embrace his lifestyle and villainy with zero second thoughts and change nothing about her personality and life with him out of the way is the pinnacle of poor writing. I cannot name a character that fell off as hard as Harley Quinn did
The only time Harley Quinn was an actually good character was when she was a lovestruck fangirl who gigglesqee'd for joker wiener so hard she threw away her career as a psychologist to babysit him while wearing latex fetish gear.
Every single iteration of the character that has gotten away from this premise has been terrible. Popular or not, she's just not an interesting character anymore. Also, making her a lesbo with Poison Ivy not only ruined Harley, but ruined Poison Ivy too.
Imagine that, ruining two great female characters to appeal to dykes who literally do not read comics, play the video games, or watch the movies they are trying to sell us. Fricking brilliant.
Early era Suicide Squad and the comics that started redeeming Harley were good... And then the Suicide Squad movie got made and ruined her, followed by that shit cartoon that goes out of its way to make the male characters incompetent.
It's the same reason why Disney turned Star Wars into a girlboss franchise - "the force is female" Same reason why MCU after Avengers 3 became the story of the She-ro's Journey, where the badass woman is always great and it just takes time for everyone else to realize that. Literally every Marvel show and movie these days is that plotline, and about some stale male passing the torch to a woman. The people in charge of these decisions these days are mostly old childless hags and weird dykes.
In fact, I would say that the idea of a hot piece of ass giving up her career to become some psycho killer's lover is a deep-seated fantasy of every one of these frigid c**ts and as such it needs to change.
Layoffs in 3-5 months
>you fight humans that have purple blobs on them that you have to shoot
>you fight tanks that have purple blobs on them that you have to shoot
>you fight helicopters that have purple blobs on them that you have to shoot
I have no idea why Rocksteady thought shooting purple blobs was a great idea for a game.
It's because the team that worked on the Arkham games aren't there anymore.
I love to see the complete destruction of AAA studios!
It was announced a bomb the moment they uttered the words Suicide Squad.
Normies and everyone else alike hated the movies. Why would they be remotely interested in this shit.
The final nail in the coffin was the leaked footage showing it was a GaaS game. Them coming back after saying they will work on the game with the GaaS still in it was the dirt burying it. And the headstone was this.
It's been dead forever. We've just been running through the motions.
I'm feeling a light 75 to 78 score on metacritic and 5000 players max on launch day on steam
Hmmm considering tekken, palworld and endshrouded will be being played I say about 4500 max with busted first day online support making it drop to like 3200 the next day.
I don't know why I feel so bad for this game. I've never even read a comic book but for some reason I thought this would be the game that kinda gets it.
It's so shameful for such a great dev.
>for such a great dev
Rocksteady isn't Rocksteady anymore. The good people who made the Arkham games are gone. No use feeling bad for the parasites left
>much-anticipated
Frick, I love following flops.
I hope they also put out spicy tweets shitting on fans like Volition did with that Saints Row reboot
JUST CANCEL IT ALREADY FFS!!
They fricking know
CANT STOP ME NOW!
This is what happens when Batman rapes the Joker.
I still have problems believing this is real and not something a dev whipped up as a gag.
They need multiverse shenanigans to explain why the justice league died and came back to life and why deadshot is black
>multiverse shenanigans
when is this "multiverse" meme going to die? like one movie did it and was popular, every other one that has tried to force it has been cancer and no one likes it.
It's creative bankrupcy; right now every single western comic book and comic book-related piece of media relies on multiverse shenanigans.
>Get out of jail free card for hackfraud writers
>Lets you put a morbillion of the same bullshit on screen but they look slightly different
It's going to be a while, homie.
It's funny how Multiversus, a game where Gizmo can fight Batman, is more sensible than this game in terms of how it uses multiverse shenanigans.
Apparently the reason that deadshot is black is because the guy from the arkham games wasn't actually deadshot but just a guy pretending to be deadshot. It's also because will Smith was deadshot and they decided to use that as the baseline for some reason.
>the reason that deadshot is black is because the guy from the arkham games wasn't actually deadshot but just a guy pretending to be deadshot
amazing and clever plot twist!
hopefully they'll allow black deadshot to frick harley quinn, it would be such a shame to turn one of the characters into a Black person and then not pair him with a white woman
She's a lesbian now, the mandate demands she gets with a black woman instead.
Yeah, it's fricking moronic, probably not helped by the instance everyone had to use guns. At least avengers, whilst terrible, allowed Thor to use the hammer and didn't give him a AK.
does that Arkham Batman straight up dies but is replaced by a multiverse version or what
I don't know about that, but there is going to be la whacky and quirky multiverse Joker because the Arkhamverse Joker is dead for good.
The game will probably be filled with moments like that because everyone working on this game is aware they're getting fired. So they might as well have some fun.
If I were on the textures and graphics team, I would have made something like graffiti that says something like "WB sucks ass" and snuck in somewhere obscure like in an alley at the edge of the map and behind a trashcan.
I'M DA JOKAH BABY
Honestly the least of the game's problems. Joker being a pompous dickhead is at least in character.
>we want... actually we don't want any audience, we're good
I dunno, he looks kinda fun to play. But I'm not getting into another live service bullshit, I'll wait until this crashes and it's delisted.

Fits good with that family guy song AND I FEEL, LIKE I JUST GOT BORN
WHAT AM I THINKING?
If I were Batman, I'd kill this Joker and just say it doesn't count against my no killing rule.
He's thinking about turning himself into a pickle.
>When you watch Son of the Mask
Pure unadulterated kino. Ganker just wouldn't understand.
Leto-coded as frick
on that note, were there any people who actually liked Leto's Joker unironically? I know Ganker really had a field day making fun of him but did normies hate him too?
indian joker if he real and does fortnite dances
this shit is so fricking funny
like a comedian joking about his misfortune hoping to get a laugh but gets pity instead
They are not even selling season passes as part of preorders. They got zero confidence. They are fully prepared to pull the plug instead of locking themselves in contractual obligation to actually make all of this.
>game about playing as the bad guys
>makes the most popular bad guy DLC
yeah so you can spend more money on it duh
Don't worry, it gets more moronic since the characters you're getting in the other DLCs are a female Mr Freeze, Deadshots daughter and Deathstroke. At least deathstroke makes sense but who the frick wants a Female freeze as a character?
>female mr freeze
I hope that means Nora and not a rule 63 Victor. Fricking hell even Killer Frost would be better.
I'm sorry Anon but she's listed as Victoria Fries according to the leaks. They really are that moronic.
>Victoria Fries
What. Were. They. Thinking. They even handled Victor and Nora pretty well before in Knight. Wat.
What's funny is there's literally already a female villain with ice powers. Why not just go with Killer Frost?
honestly it wouldn't surprise me if most of the people who were actual DC fanboys on the team left with the founders.
>Victoria Fries
lmao
I don't read comics but I remember Killer Frost from the Justice League cartoon.
She was a psycho who apparently liked to kill and nothing else. Why not using her? she would be perfect for a group of amoral supervillians.
the character choices are genuinely bizarre. out of damn near countless options that's what they decided to go with?
I assume they want want easy to recycle ice related assets like they did in injustice for upcoming characters like Captain Cold and the blue haired blue chick i forgot the name
>only boss variations are Brainiac controlled versions
they really couldn't throw us some somewhat interesting reskins?
>Season 1
>NEW
>NEW
>NEW
The game launches with Season 1, this isn't new content, this is the base content. Fricking marketers.
so if this was a paid season pass, they by law would have to make it?
Yes. Sega had to refund all the players who preordered Total War Pharaoh when paid future DLC was cancelled.
JUST SHUT THE FRICK UP ABOUT PALSHIT ALREADY
YOU SPERGS ARE GOING TO FRICKING RUIN POKEMON JUST FOR A GODDAMN MEME ON THE ITNERNET THIS SHIT ISN'T FRICKING FUNNY IM SO GODDAMN TIRED OF SEEING THESE SBIT ASSET FLIPS YOU DUMB FRICKING IDIOTS
are you people seriously so goddamn jaded you would let pokemon be abused like this? What do you think happens if pals take off and really steal the pokemon audience ? Tou don't like the recent games? Damaging the brand isn't going to fix them you pieces of shit they will get worse.
Mods need to fricking start nuking these goddamn threads already. It's clearly just fricking trolls trying to make pokefans mad and hurt pokemon. Godsamn incel culture war morons l.

>harley talks shit about her old costume
i see they havent learned from DmC
Shitting on previous works on the same franchise is standard procedure.
I will never understand why so many companies seem to be pathologically embarrassed of their past successes.
I think it's the new devs showing their insecurity over all the fans pointing out that those that came before were simply better at what they did.
If they were confident in what they made, they wouldn't spend their time tearing down other people's work.
Also only happens when the "new" design is worst than the old one at that like her name is harley for harlequin hence the jester outfit,what is she now? Just some woman name harley wearing regular clothes?I dont think millienals making this super hero shit understand the purpose of these characters being special.Who wants to be man- man walking around in khaki shorts fighting crime with his brave wahmen of color companions?The shark is the only comic book looking design on this shit and even then he's running around in a tank top...
Why do companies announce their games are bad before they launch it?
I don't know
Warner Bros has this weird marketing philosophy where they only market one game at a time. Meaning for anyone who enjoyed Multiversus and wants to play it again, in order to see what the devs have been working on, they'll have to wait until Suicide Squad releases and thus Warner Bros can move on to advertising the next game.
So a sizable portion of the people who can be categorized as 'Wanting the game to finally release' aren't interested in the game but just want it released and over with so they'll see news about a game they are interested in. That's rough.
Dead
>SuicideSquadGaming
/r/gamingcirclejerk changed their subreddit name after their Hogwarts Legacy boycott failed, huh.
I hope he has fun
Reviewers will now shit on it. Starfield didn't get sent to anyone that might be too negative (EDGE, Eurogamer) and they gave it a 6. This is going to be a 6.
6 is a good score
Why does DC continue trying to push Suicide Squad?
Too much corporate red tape to course correct shit greenlit years ago.
>much anticipated
By who? Lol
everyone who is into schadenfreude
All WB-Rocksteady had to do was remaster Urban Chaos Riot Response after wrangling it from Eidos.
Worthless frickers.
yeah that would have brought them millions in cash no doubt lmao
how the frick do you make two batman games in a row where you can't play as batman? stop making these shit games nobody wants them.
>Makes a game where you have to kill your favorite heroes
OH MY FAUCI!
The heroes are LE FASCISTS because they beat up downtrodden people!! Our villains are WHOLESOME and REVOLUTIONARIES against the Justice League's system of oppression!
The internet has turned your brain into mush, dude.
It's funny but that ain't real
That is real though.
One of the devs use a Palestine flag on their bio.
So I truly believe thats what they think.
Someone in another thread summed up this dumpster fire fantastically.
It's one of the first vidya appearances of Superman since Injustice 2 over 10 years ago.
The first time he's appeared in an action game since Superman 64
And you're playing as Captain Boomerang
>The first time he's appeared in an action game since Superman 64
nah there was one on the PS2 also. never heard anything about it.
I thought that didn't come out.
That guy is moronic, and so are you for paraphrasing him.
Superman was one of the most popular characters in Multiversus less than 2 years ago.
oh yeah, multiversus. I guess he was wrong about playable character but he's still right about the Superman 64 part.
I have a better idea: why don't you do your own research and come to your own conclusions rather than regurgitating some moron's idiotic takes?
Because he's still right and it's a funny note about how out-of-touch these suits are about making games people want.
That point is still an extremely good one.
Doesn't change the fact that you are an idiot who can't think by himself.
Even worse, that guy you're fellating so much isn't saying anything enlightening or deep, it's something anyone can realize by doing a five minutes internet search.
You're having a melty and making all kinds of projection about an anecdote I heard from another thread, I think it's time to chill bro.
>isn't saying anything enlightening or deep,
It is pretty funny, first Superman game since the PS2 and I'm playing as Captain Boomerang.
dumb take
Has your autism been diagnosed
he wasn't though. Superman: Shadow of Apokolips and Superman Returns were both on PS2 after S64.
Weren't those also both terrible?
Returns was just mediocre. The bizarro mode was pretty fun, though
>Bizarro mode
guess I gotta try returns
Not Superman 64-terrible but yeah they were lame. There's never really been a good Superman game. I guess the SNES beat-em-up was passable and the Injustice games if you count them.
Superman is a playable character on Multiversus.
Noggle me this, Ganker. How can they salvage this? They can't overhaul everything, but could they try hard appealing to coomers?
I don't think they plan to salvage it, this isn't cyberpunk.
They can do it the Cyberpunk way: an anime adaptation made by Studio Trigger followed by a couple patches and paid DLC.
The game was supposed to come out last year but the reception was so bad they delayed it a year. Then re-debuted it with the exact same shit. There are no plans to salvage it, they can't salvage it, it is over.
homie they literally had harley shitting on her old arkham costume. They'll die before giving straight dudes what they want
I think they'd have just shelved it like they did that shitty looking arena shooter, the Batgirl movie, and the Road Runner movie, if they hadn't already sunk a stupid amount of money into it.
It'll be pushed out the door and abandoned once their commitments to season pass holders are met.
They'll be the only buyers they get so can't blame em.
This is shaping up to be one of the greatest disasters in videogame history. They spent eight years working on this shit, including almost two years worth of delays. It probably cost them $250MM+ to make. I haven't seen a single person, not one, excited to play the game day one. The best I have heard is that "i'll check it out when it is on sale". Like it is on track to make The Avengers look like Hogwarts Legacy.
Maybe Warner Bros will finally take the hint that nobody fricking cares about Suicide Squad
>Warner Bros
>Taking the hint
They're rebooting the DCEU because their last attempts at being Marvel failed hard. And this is when the MCU is shitting itself to death and audiences are moving away from super hero flicks.
Zaslav recently stated that they want to focus on live service games as well. These Black folk don't take hints. They chase trends after those trends peaked and audiences are getting tired of them.
Everyone knew this was going to be sht before an embargo. Probably has more microtransactions after the reviews too.
I await news of the Wonder Woman game with gleeful trepidation.
This. Hopefully that turns out decent.
Don't get me wrong: The first real footage of that game is going to be another wondrous punchline to the joke that is the corporate video game industry.
>That time in the Injustice comics where Superman's mother tells Harley to frick off
Why would those 2 ever interact?
https://www.reddit.com/r/DCcomics/comments/14ji82b/comic_excerpt_someone_finally_reacts/
Even the shitheads on Reddit think her 'redemption' is bullshit.
What a b***h, just let her have some tea.
Why the frick do they keep making live service games when almost every one of them (barring fortnite or whatever) have failed miserably
All the execs think if you try it 8 times and fail 7 you only need that one hit if it's Fortnite level
It's the same reason we got 6000 mmo's after WoW came out. Execs don't know shit, people come into a board meeting with a pitch and say "look at how much money this game is making, we can do that" and then get the greenlight
you would thing that suits would realise that by the point they release their game the market is going to be saturated to hell and that the game would be doa
the slight chance of tapping an infinite money well is just too much
You get business guys coming in from other industries and trying to apply the same principles that worked there to the game industry and it ends up not working.
Hopefully this is the absolute last time DC tries to make Suicide Squad happen. It's never going to happen.
>SUICIDE SQUAD: KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE
>wait, not Wonder Woman - she's a strong female and joins you
Is Tara still voicing Harley?
The fact they don't even have the balls to also make Wonder Woman evil is so fricking pathetic.
Have you seen the absolute ocean of shit that's streaming services? Everyone got greedy and wanted a piece of Netflix's pie, and now customers are inconvenienced to the point where once again piracy is the simplest, easiest option. If corporate Black folk could not be moronic every time they think about profits, things would be way less shitty.
Wonder Woman is one of the most pragmatic and warrior-like Leaguers when it comes to fighting; Evil WW would have been pretty nice, basically like fighting against original God of War Kratos.
mate, i wish i didn't have this knowledge, but there are people who pay for multiple streaming services. i know a guy who pays for like minimum 3 of them. i asked him if it's not just easier to go to a torrent site of choice and download his favourite tv series to watch easily, but no. this guy went on a wall of cope saying NOTHING of value. it's just more convenient for him, in a really fricked up way
>Have you seen the absolute ocean of shit that's streaming services?
I guess i shouldnt be surprised that suits only care about the money.
> piracy is the simplest, easiest option
The fatguy made a decent video discussing that piracy isnt going to comeback becuase most zoomers are so technologically moronic and dependant that they cant pirate to save their asses. Here is the link to the vid itself.
>f corporate Black folk could not be moronic every time they think about profits, things would be way less shitty.
Man frick venture capitalism.
>Needing a youtuber to explain things for you
You're every bit as moronic as the people you're denouncing.
Wonder Woman has always been immune to mind control as one of her abilities.
Starro got her, no reason Brainiac couldn't as well.
WW has been mind controlled loads of times, what are you talking about?
No? I mean, when Batman fought the JL, he tricked her into thinking she's locked in a perfect stalemate of a fight in her own mind to render her harmless, and another time tricked her into thinking she won just to get away. Muh strong c**t writing, even back then, but that is her one weakness. Funny how Supes is affected by mind control and has his standard green flashlight weakness always brought up, but the woman version of him is not allowed to have weaknesses.

we know it
they know it
they should just do a hyenas at this point and save everyone the cringe
The game comes out literally next week. It would be hilarious if they said "yea you know what, we cant do this, it's canceled." Like when someone breaks up with someone they're sick of before a vacation.
I just remembered that there is a Suicide Squad anime in production to air this year.
So Rocksteady is already ahead of the curve and taking notes from CDPR's Engoodening manual.
And it’s an isekai, as if a Warner exec just looked at whatever was popular and demanded the SS ip be slapped onto it
Seriously, who in the frick thinks suicide squad deserves this much of a push?
Different is that Edgerunners is an amazing show and for all the shit CDPR at least fixed the game.
Do you really think Rocksteady's gonna pull it off? Also who's doing the anime? Which studio?
>Which studio?
Knack
>CDPR at least fixed the game.
No it didn't, because Cyberpunk 2077 is at its core a flawed game. You can fix bugs but you can't fix poor writing and scenario design.
That's the magic of the Engoodening: Edgerunners gaslit you into believing that Cyberpunk is fixed and you ate it.
>it's at it's core a flawed game
No it isn't.
>>it's at it's core a flawed game
>No it isn't.
Proof?
What's the point of arguing here? You've already demonstrated a clear bias by bringing up the engoodening meme. But sure why not let me waste my time
>amazing plot, story and characters
>good combat and level progression with fairly diverse approaches to combat. People were disappointed but that's their own expectations
>visually one of the best games still
>fairly decent amount of shit to do even outside of gigs
Again, I feel as if people expected shit out of this game that was never going to happen. Meanwhile I stayed clear of it until PL came out and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I hadn't even watched Edgerunners. I just knew the wanna stay at your house meme.
>You've already demonstrated a clear bias by bringing up the engoodening meme.

>much anticipated release
I haven't heard a single positive thing from anyone about this game aside from Poison Ivy is cute and funny now.
it's going to be a bomb as in like it will be a functional 5/10 boring ass loot shooter that will be forgotten by the people who play it in less than a month. it's not going to be a redfall-tier disaster, just a really boring mediocre "oh yeah, that happened" release, kind of like the avengers game.
honest question
why does WB keep trying to force this Suicide Squad meme so hard? this will be flop #3 for them, but it's not like the Justice League or the Avengers where it would make sense to dive in so hard, it's the Suicide Squad. Most of them are literalwho's.
They are a profoundly stupid country on the verge of bankruptcy. Don’t try to understand their motives, not even they understand it
>"I can't consoom the game I want so I have to compulsively buy other slop just because"
What a sad homosexual you are
It's as if Suicide Squad wasn't as popular as social media made it out to be
i think that they could have been popular if handled the right way, but the problem here is they did the one movie and it fricking sucked. but rather than saying "shit we fricked that up, let's try another obscure team of nobodies and try not to frick it up this time", they just keep doubling down on the suicide squad for some reason. they did another rebooted SS movie years after the other called THE Suicide Squad and somehow thought that normies weren't gonna look at it and go "ew, no thanks, the last one sucked". now they're doing it again. what possesses a company to be this stupid? it's mind-boggling.
>let's try another obscure team of nobodies and try not to frick it up this time
Is it already too late for that?
It doesn't matter, they're probably just gonna keep forcing Suicide Squad down everyone's throats.
Six Pac is a true hero and a prime example of a man rising above his limitations to become something more.
I'll have you know Dogwelder should also be up there as a true hero, he did weld some stars together to save the universe.
Six Pac is the whole reason the DC universe exists in the first place and when his real body finally dies of the cold it will stop existing.
I wish. Normalgays aren't ready for anything as great as Bueno Excelente or Hitman.
Garth Ennis is peak normalgay anon.
Maybe, I've ignored everything related to The Boys for that reason. At least Castlevania didn't go full moron until S3, even with all the gay shit at least it was still amusing IMO. Really liked their Dracula.
People blaming Rocksteady like it's their fault. They are hired hands by higher ups at Warner Bros. If j recall, they were working on Superman but were told to make a battlepass / shooter game to go after that popular trend because those make $$$.
I’m going to blame them because game devs always stand by their work and b***h at consumers when they inevitably flop. Every year I hear the same spiel about how they worked really hard and put in a lot of hours and made a lot of friends at work, etc etc. It’s a joke. They can’t take criticism unlike every other worker who makes a bad product.
>Defending the suits
>Defending the bosses
>Placing all the blame on the employees
Why Ganker loves to lick boots like this?
Reminds me of Ganker blaming the Indian coders for Starfield, while ignoring that it was the Bethesda CEOs who hired them even when they lacked the capacities needed for the project.
I’m not defending the bosses. You can’t tell me that the devs behind this game aren’t gonna defend their work like they always do. At least have the decency to admit you’re working for pay instead of creating some high work of art like they always pretend.
>I’m not defending the bosses.
Yes you are.
The bosses are the ones who take the decisions, who allocate the budget and who hire the people. A developer acts like a cretin on Twitter? Blame the project lead who hired people without work ethics to work on the game and allows them to run their mouths.
If I were a shit worker responsible for inflicting damage on my workplace the responsibility wouldn't just fall on me, it would fall on my boss too for not paying attention to my work and allowing the situation to become like that.
The founders already have a new studio called Hundred Star Games
Harley only got big due to
1. Coomers
2. Thots with daddy issues who liked her relationship with the Joker
So can someone explain why they're making a game where she has none of these qualities?
Feminism
The game will be dogshit, but not sending out review codes is based at this point.
Honestly I'm just sad we are probably never getting another game as the arkaham games?
Like yeah we are probably getting more games with similar combat but none where you also have good art direction and story. Even if we did we are probably never getting a series that can deliver 4 times in a row like the arkaham games did.
That's a child
out of 10
Out of 10
Is there any reason this HAD to be in the Arkham universe?
yes, so they can coast off of goodwill from a popular established franchise.
Marketing and brand recognition, that's all there is too it.
With all the vibrant crap on screen it doesn't even look like Arkham.
Yeah but they're saying its arkham because people know and like the arkham games. In reality it probably wasn't the Arkhamverse at the start and it eventually just changed to that to get more interest in the game.
Yeah, it's fricking baffling but I'm guessing they can't be bothered to make up a reason why Killer frost is shooting people instead of using her ice powers. That or they don't know who killer frost is.
I'm genuinely excited for this game to come out. Can't remember the last time a game this shit looking came out to unanimous hate from everyone.
Don't care what you frickers are saying orr will say
Im gonna buy The Suicide Squad Kills The Justice League(tm)(c)!

Okay guys, non-comic gay here: how can some normal guys with guns and a clown girl with a baseball bat beat Superman, Green Lantern, and The Flash (aka literal gods)?
Can't Superman alone go super speed on their asses and smash their heads like a Dragon Ball Z character in a milesecond?
because they are le wacky band of misfits, anon!

Comic book logic depends on writers, there are no real rules. It is possible because plot demands it now.
Comic book writing doesn't care about things like internal logic
I wish we would RETVRN to time when comics at least embraced how batshit dumb they are instead of trying to present it seriously.

Old comics are a treasure trove.
That special guest villain penguin icon would work great like featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series.
what the frick is that first panel
what the frick is that second panel
what the frick is that third panel
what the frick
why not superman, power girl, and wonder woman while she's at it
why does DC hate flash so fricking much
Poison ivy is puppeteering them, and a plot point of the comic is she sucks shit at it.
So?
So nothing. I'm just giving the context.
So? It's still a pretty shit context.
If she can't mind control heroes efficiently, why bother trying to use them as foot soldiers?
Even better, if she earned some level of mind control over them, why didn't she just make them kill themselves? If I could take over my enemies and can't control them I would take the chance to force them to open their own fricking throats.
I mean nta but you just described capeshit comics for the last 20 years and why they have all collectively been getting worse and worse sales to the point they're being beaten by nip comics with even more ridiculous premises
Capeshit trying to have its cake and eat it too with the edge and grimdark while having a mind-control or universe reset every two years pissed off even the most ardent capeshit enjoyer
I don't really remember, but I think she had like all of gotham acting as her "worker bee" slaves. She wanted them alive for reasons. As for the weakness allowing the heroes to win, it's simples, its a book aimed at kids. Comics are almost always just keys jangling
There's usually context, but 90%of the time it's bullshit by a writer that doesn't care that the character is far more OP than they wrote.
shit like this has happened in DC comics before, and specifically with Brainiac controlling them because it's an easy setup for heroes fighting heroes.
anyone have that video of the Static Shock cartoon where he beats the entire justice league? I think it's the same exact setup as this game.
as someone that watches animated superhero shows, had this game been single player or co-op focused?, it varies on writing, one instance was the Suicide squad donning kryptonite made weapons to deal with superman infused para demons from Darkseid. SS works better when there mostly an espionage unit like that one episode of JJ unlimited tbh
but since its a live service game its just gonna boil down to : Shoot bullet spongey bosses up the ass
I wish negresses actually looked like that.
God, John Stewart was such a boring shitter.
They need to stop shilling Suicide Squad. Who likes this shit?
>tendie
funny, coming from a connoisseur of shit.
Just a reaction image, sperg.
no need to sign your posts, tendie
no one but I guess all this shit was planned out and invested in years ago before they knew that no one gives a frick about the suicide squad.
>Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
what kind of tards think these are good game titles? does the average gamer even know what suicide squad or the justice league is? sure fanboys will, but then they budget them like broad audience spectacles that'll sell well to everyone from grandma to little mikey.
why not do some small budget focused shit to sell to the fanboys to build things up a bit before they just commit suicide coming out of the gate?
Wait a second
If this is after the Arkham games, how the frick is the Joker back? He died in Arkham Asylum!
Why is the objective “kill the Justice League” and not “kill the guy mind controlling them so we don’t lose our greatest heroes” even though I assume it’s a fakeout because there’s no way they’d actually kill off Batman or Superman
Why are we at the point that gacha games are somehow outdoing AAA games at what they’re supposed to be good at?
>how the frick is the Joker back?
multiverse bullshit
it's the thing you must have if you make capeshit these days.
> multiverse bullshit
No you moron. This game is beckoning to the times when you didn’t have to connect everything to a huge cinematic universe. It’s the opposite of multiverse.
But this game will suck ass so it doesn’t matter.
no I mean literally, that version of the joker is one that's pulled from a different timeline or whatever since the arkhamverse one is dead. that's the in game canon explanation.
Anon, the game’s story is literally that brainiac is attacking multiple earths (which is how DC refers to its multiverse) and the suicide squad finds another Joker on another Earth. It is, indeed, multiverse bullshit.
It's not the same joker, he comes from another universe
and I assume it's a way to both leave the door open for latter playable justice league while keeping the game "gritty"
There was a leaked video of Nu-Harley lecturing Batman and then executing him
I hope a dirty bomb goes off in California
What the frick is wrong with this company
>SEQUEL TO THE ARKHAM GAMES
>EXCEPT YOU DONT PLAY BATMAN
>ALSO YOU MURDER BATMAN
The only way I could ever forgive this game is if it ends with the Suicide Squad dancing to/singing this.
based cheetah dicksucking at McDonald's enjoyer
It’s fricking unreal what this movie has done to WB corporate management
And now it comes full circle with WB at the verge of another buyout.
Harley Quinn was a mistake.
Antihero/girlboss scenegirl Harley Quinn was a mistake. Eye-candy sexclown Harley that never forgot her crippling one-sided relationship with the Joker was good.
Mass layoffs incoming at Rocksteady
Post moronic comic book pages
Someone post the HUD
>Warning: Batman meter is almost full!
Dont blame them, the beta access preview shit all over the game.
You had people who were given access under NDA willing to say how fricking awful it is even if they pissed off WD, its rare, they game must be on another level of bad.
for me, it's how they put four different villains in the game who already have their established weapons, fighting styles, and they give them all guns
the same guns
so everyone can share equipment
I don't think captain boomerang or harley has ever used a straight-up assault rifle before
I giggle at the thought of a parallel universe where Rocksteady made the Justice League game instead... and it's a loot shooter too! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern wearing tacticool gear and using guns, shooting from cover and pressing X + 0 to execute a Justice Strike!
>quick flash throw your frag grenade
>"captain boomerang and his iconic weapon .... the shotgun"
>for his special power, Captain Boomerang wields a gun.
Lol it's clear that you no one here has read any suicide squad comics. They all use guns. Granted cpt boomerang mostly uses his boomerang but even he uses guns in the comics as well. As far as 'hurrdurr how can these normies kill the justice league' crap they've gone up against superman in the comics as well.
Sorry, it's already confirmed to be a masterpiece by Skill Up
>(and I didn't hate it)
Glowing praise so bright it'll blind ya.
A game like this is the kind where the developers do what's required to collect a paycheck and nothing more.
Anyone else fricking sick of Harley being put everywhere? At first i didn't mind, but now they make her more ugly with every new gamee and movie. They really overestimate her as a character that Can bring in masses.
Harley used to be the "Hey look we can acknowledge the Animated Series too!" easter egg that gradually took the spotlight from Joker as comics got shittier and shittier and Joker stopped being funny joke man and instead became serious nihilistic man
Harley more or less took joker's gimmick
yeah I most people are tired of her. she got really popular for specific reasons and then they misread her popularity and did stuff with her that went against why people liked her, and the constant forcing of her in this manner turns most people off except for hardcore feminists who don't even watch the movies she's in, read the comics she's in, or play the games she's in.
>The Wall is in the game
>It's Debrah Wilson
>She's thin
The one time they could have put a fat black woman in a game and no one worth listening to would have a problem with it and they make her thin.
THE WALL being fat is part of her character. She's supposed to have multiple disadvantages: black, fat, w*man. But she rose to the highest levels of the Shadow Government because she's fricking competent and will bleed to keep the flag red
Which is the worst part about what the movies made her, she’s just incompetent evil nick fury now
God I fricking love her character in the DCAU
Imagine having a character that's literally every wokegay's wet dream and somehow managing to make her shit. I genuinely don't get it.
She can’t keep getting away with it
>much anticipated release
who the frick told this homosexual that anyone was looking forward to this dogshit game?
It's a much-anticipated release for me because I want to see how fast it flames out.
>Much anticipated
Literally everyone when this comes out
Let’s see, we have Palworld taking the world by storm, Tekken 8, Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Elden Ring DLC just around the corner. Some stiff competition even if people hadn’t already written off Suicide Squad.
>we have Palworld taking the world by storm, Tekken 8, Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Elden Ring DLC just around the corner
well, shit. since you put it that way then I guess the only thing worth playing anytime soon is suicide squad.
Is it even worth reviewing? People already know it's going to be boring capeshit with cringe writing
>how do we follow up our critically acclaimed Batman trilogy that's held as being by far the best and most immersive superhero video game franchise of all time?
>I know, live service loot shooter with a cluttered HUD starring an uglified version of a character whose popularity stems 99% from her sex appeal
Damn Gothcum knights was so shit most people dont even class it as a release
it's not by rocksteady and isn't tied into the arkham franchise.
but yes it was shit
Warner still paid for it which is what matters
Wait, I am a moron who can't read and thought you were defending SS when you were talking about Gotham Knights.
I will delete my post and kill myself to atone.
Why would you ever make a game where you KILL the superheroes everyone loves with some no name characters? You make shit like that DLC for a superhero game, not the main focus. Pants on head, sharpie in pooper moronic.
It's a shame that the original Suicide Squad comic from John Ostrander is buried under a mountain of trash now. It's a fun read.
>Deadshot's interpretation of stopping Flag from killing a senator by any means necessary is just killing the senator himself
Oh come the frick on
This "don't dirty your hands you morally upright hero, let us anti-heroes / villains to do the killing" scene is that much of a lame cliché I've seen it many times on tranime of all media.
That's not the situation at all. Waller didn't want the senator to die. Flag was AWOL at the time. Deadshot was given too much leeway with his orders, and executed them in what he saw as the simplest way.
The Batman Arkham collection is six dollars on the Playstation store right now for anyone who wants to play a proper Rocksteady game.
Just replayed all 3 recently actually. I always thought Asylum was my favorite but City really is the best one, you homosexuals were right.
Post the page where Harley fricks a bunch of joker cosplayers and lament the fact that we couldn’t get that in the game
at least that means theyre not doing some gay shit where the reviewers play a pure copy and give it a high score then theres a release day patch with performance killing drm and live service garbage.
>theyre not doing some gay shit
there are gay pride flags and colors all over metropolis
perfectly in line with modern superman media honestly. i started watching that new fake anime superman series and it was like 3 episodes and they introduced a gay robot and gorilla couple who call each other "my love" and I realized I'd stumbled into clownworld shit.
Never seen the show, but if it's the characters I'm thinking of they're pretty old.
Granted this shit was from Doom Patrol, was supposed to be absurdist as frick, and not taken remotly seriously either.
kill the justice league? more like kill the studio
JONKERS HONKING IN THE HOU TONIGHT
WE'RE GONNA KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE
CAPESHITTERS LOSE THEIR MINDS
KILLED BY THE SUICIDE SQUAD
They'll announce EoS the same day the game comes out
Avengers lasted like a year
game was ass but it came out at a time when the MCU was still popular
capeshit in general is dead, nobody cares about DC movies
seriously? only a year? even the hardest flopping F2P GaaS's usually last like at least 2, don't they?
Final fantasy's battle royale lasted like a year too
Also that weird game they did with Platinum
That was a completely different climate.
Live service games still seemed like a good investment, and the interest rate was a fat zero.
>much-anticipated
Cope.
I'll just say that I started playing Arkham Knight a week ago and while I remember people b***hing about BatTank at the time I don't mind it that much, but stealth/predator sections are really weak.
the scenario/level design of the predator sections was definitely weaker in Knight than in previous games. I don't mind the bat tank either, but you WILL be fricking sick of that goddamned thing by the end, especially if you are going for high completion %. it's fine but the game way overuses it.
I'm already annoyed by the amount of Riddler shit... Maybe I don't remember, but it wasn't this bad in Asylum/City.
Kek, thanks for confirming.
I played it a couple years ago, and the only part that's really memorable to me is when Joker, completely out of nowhere and with no reason to do so, goes on a spiel about that time he killed Jason Todd. I was just dumbstruck that Rocksteady's writers really thought they'd made a compelling mystery on who the Arkham Knight was.
there's gotta be an arnold copypasta about that
>Imagine being Batman in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Arkham Knight, you frickin' mysterious, all enigmatic with your overly obvious foreshadowing and badly masked voice."
The story is absolute garbage in Knight and it has a lot of other problems, but compared to what Rocksteady has become I realize that game was still from the golden age
I'm happy whenever a western AAA game fails. With any luck the whole team will be axed.
i'm alright with it so long as we get plenty of foot porn with Harley's model
she looks cute in the pig tails
Rocksteady should change theory company name to The Suicide Squad.
I enjoyed the alpha. I’ll buy it on sale
>BRAAAAAAAAP
Is there any co op action GAAS game that was a success?
Even destiny is dying.
>destiny finally dying after over a decade
Id say that’s a success
I'm the Superman now.
How did a company that worked on a shitty battle royale game that died on arrival get to work on suicide squad?
Nothing but gays in the dev team in unbroken studios what the frick
TELL ME U wienerSUCKAS HOW THE FRICK
>for this much-anticipated release
much-anticipated by whom?
Should've joined the ACK alongside Hyenas. Instead they wasted even more money reworking the game.
