Xmen is barely about normies at all, it is largely about civil war between two major groups of special people. In fact, it is primarily about a conflict wherein the majority of modern writers would support Magneto over Xavier.
troonies have their own fetish comics and discords and don't engage in a dying medium (comic book writers themselves don't count, I'm talking about the consoomer).
Any letter pride shit is the company acknowledging the game is poor and they need other means to increase sales.
x-men was never about gay or gay shit. Stan Lee was known for lying so when people pushed a narrative of it being about blacks/gays he agreed with it because it sounded nice
>Some gay developer put his stupid flag in
So what?
>colors arranged on a flag make chuds this angry they type out captchas just to show their seethe
Maximum level snowflake LMAO

>literally plant your woke flag in the game >IT'S NOT WOKE S-STOP SEETHING SNOWFLAKES HAHA
delusional, mindbroken, mentally ill, dishonest. we just want you to frick off back to redd.it. thanks.
They're right. If the game was really woke, they could have easily added a new superhero wearing a rainbow suit and constantly lecturing about their struggle. Adding a few flags that are easily passed by is not worth complaining about.
Have you ever heard of the Boiling Frog theory? These people will never stop at just one thing. They will demand more and more until they take over everything. People need to establish firm boundaries and don’t compromise on it. So frick off tranni
X-Men was made with teens coming of age in mind, something literally everyone goes through, the feeling of isolation and change during puberty
The parallels were kept extremely vague, as to seem appealing to everyone
Then the BLT community "connected the dots" and made it about them, and with Disney getting esg money, they couldn't lose
Yes, we've only been aware of each for a little bit, but do you really think the big IP industry would've so blatantly flipped the script without SOME guaranteed incentive?

>lgbt flag defender is a kiddy fiddler
No surprises there
>lgbt flag defender
No, I'm just calling you what you are, a chud.
I was never going to play this game and never will because it's woke. Do you also complain that rap is full of Black folk?

Dude says you frick kids and your response is "Yeah, well you want to frick a cartoon ghost kid, a cartoon witch kid, and some other cartoon characters!"
Can you see where you went wrong? Like, can you decern fiction from reality? You fricking children and people jerking off to cartoon porn are two different things.
this is just realistic for the average organization in 2024. Superman would come back from defending Israel from gazan children to give a speech at the white house about trans rights
it's almost parody how much random shit they keep tacking onto it at this point. I feel like a rainbow representing all colors on the spectrum is a self-evident enough message
Funny, because this flag exists in this scene for the sole purpose of covering up what canonically supposed to be a giant obnoxious banner of the stars and stripes.
>So who cares, how does that affect you.
I dont think you understood my point . This flag exists in this scene to prevent your innocent baby eyes from seeing the american flag against your will .
Yea I bet the guy with that advanced brain rot has a lot of fun and definitely doesn't spend his waking and sleeping hours seething about rainbows on the internet
I am pretty okay with the rainbow flag representing LGBT stuff and all. But it's hillarious how they had to throw in extra colors for trans, BLM, and two spirit shit too. It keeps on changing. Wonder what it will look like at the end of the year.
The fact that they keep adding to the flag is because their sexuality is their whole identity and everything gets viewed through that lens making them boring, obnoxious c**ts.
Woke shit aside, who thought it would be a good idea to make a super hero game where the only playable character with powers is the shark dude? Otherwise it's just: >Guy who shoots guns good >Guy who throws boomerangs good >Woman with a STEM degree
The only character with serious recognition is Harley, everyone else maybe literal whos to people who don't read the comics. It's even worse when you consider they're going up against absolutely busted characters like Green Lantern, Superman and The Flash. The devs even acknowledge this somewhat indirectly, because every kill is setup by some convenient McGuffin being supplied to the characters >Uhhh the Green Lanterns used to get BTFO by the color yellow before that was retconned decades ago, so here's this yellow lantern bomb thing that will neutralize his powers >The Flash? More like The gay! Anyways, here's this techno doohickey that just gives Captain Boomerang similar powers. >Ayo we got dem gold kryptonite bullets from Lex Luthor, now you can catch Superman lackin wit your glock 18 problem solver
Why do you need any of these violent unhinged convicts except maybe the shark dude, to pull this off? Why could you not give the same shit to some Delta Force guys and see similar results play out?
Shut the frick up shill, no one had hope for this game everyone knew it was going to be a pile of shit, the only reason people are talking about it is because you homosexuals keep spamming these threads daily.
I think it's incredibly funny that people are complaining about the overall story when it's at the same level if not slightly above the usual quality of a comic book rag of the last 60 years. It hits the exact same beats of any other major event crossover where all main character die and then get reset Gankergays should be eating it up, but maybe they can't come to terms with the fact that it is the same story they've been reading for decades at a slightly elevated level.
I won't argue against the idea that's lots of comics are shit, problem is the game is made by people who never read those comics and couldn't care less about them.
And part of the problem you get a bunch of fanboy homosexuals who can't take the dildo out of their ass whenever a different interpretation of the property is presented. I guarantee you most anons over on that shit board would piss their pants if Batman was every presented as anything other brooding, emottionally stunted frickwit because the character has been pigeonholed as the for the last 40 years. The same way losers probably complained when Bruce was changed from his happily engaged businessman and relatively adjusted globe trotting adventurer. objectively the best version of the character, something morrison understood
Batman Inc was the best thing DC had done with the character in decades. And then that nothing team who took over regressed him all over again. Comic books are such a fricking mistake.
The problem with Suicide Squad isn't that it's a different interpretation, the problem is that it's supposed to be the same Batman as Arkham's while acting like people are supposed to hate him for that.
It's easier if you just ask general stuff you want to know more about. But I will say for starters giving Captain Boomerang a speed force gauntlet (made by Doctor Sivana of all people, really?) was dumb. In comic continuities he's just tapped into it like Barry, only using it for his throwing arm. It was just a bullshit excuse to give him a repetitive traversal gimmick rather than do something fun with his namesake
The issue is Captain Boomerang's gimmick can be incredibly fun for combat, yet they chose instead to reduce it to a warped traversal mechanic in favor of GUNS. There should be a flurry of boomerangs bouncing around, catching to throw again, cutting enemies up or exploding depending on the type. There's no creativity here.
I was kind of surprised to see all the character mostly just use guns. Like you'd expect it for Deadshot but all the other characters have more recognizable weapons but no they just default to guns

King Shark is another good example of missing the point entirely. No he shouldn't be using a gatling gun and machetes, his trademark offense is raw strength and savagery.
Even Deadshot is conceptually flawed because to my knowledge they didn't showcase Lawton's trademark accuracy or trick shots. Then again this shit game is dead set on retconning Floyd so that's the least of its problems. I think they even said "Fake" Deadshot is from another universe, this making it even dumber

They really shouldn't. The only real nerf in play here is Brainiac's mind control hindering their performance and subconscious desires not to hurt anyone, but even that has limits. Admittedly Captain Boomerang IS capable of going toe-to-toe with The Flash but that's a normal Barry Allen not trying to kill anyone. King Shark is technically a demigod and their biggest heavy hitter, so in theory he should be able to scratch Clark. But again, that's under ideal circumstances.

Isn't Boomerang only able to go toe to toe with the flash because he conveniently gets some tech device, which he had no hand in creating, that mimics the speedforce? If that's the case, him being an aussie shitposter is a bigger power than fricking good at throwing boomerangs.

No. In modern continuities both Digger and his son have speed forced charged arms and can throw energy boomerangs.
In terms of stolen tech, you're thinking of Captain Cold, or one of the other Rogues. Captain Cold stole a cold engine capable of slowing down atoms/energy itself thanks to The Cold Field., which is useful when fighting The Flash. The Cold Field also stops bullets and such.
Also by the way The Rogues kick ass

Add another one to the list.
The Rogues are always interesting because they're just humans up against one of the most OP superheros. And in order to keep Flash from going back in time and pulling Zoom tier frickery on them while they're fetuses. They created the rules and Captain Cold is there to tard wrangle the stupider ones from putting a target on all their heads.
Also the Flash is just a good guy, so never kill a speedster.

The Rogues are thieves. Their code of "kill only in self defense or revenge" exists so there's less likelihood of escalation. Kill The Flash? The entire Justice League is on their ass. While Gorilla Grodd is trying to mind control the mayor, or Girder is trying to smash up downtown, The Rogues are quietly trying to rip off a diamond exchange. They've all served time, but with guys like Mirror Master and The Trickster they don't stay behind bars for long

The answer could be as simple as "Boomerangs are tough for the flash to dodge since they go in one direction, but always return to their initial position." He could have to dodge it multiple times on one throw depending on where he's running, and since that's something or him to keep in mind, a smart villain can capitalize on it.
It doesn't make much since in reality, but I can believe it for a comic book villain. Plus, there's a beauty in the simplicity of beating The Speed Force with a tribal human's weapon.

But that lore is arbitrary. Like Ra's al Ghul is typically a global terrorist. Where as arkham Ra's is just some frick who dicked around in Gotham his whole life. It's irrelevant.
It's relevant because that's what these games are pulling from. And you're wrong, Arkham Ras is still a global player. He's just in Gotham during the events of the games because plot reasons

Braindead. Your mindset is so pathetic. Woke is so powerful that the largest publishers of the largest entertainment medium design their games around it. Yet Woke is so terrible that it literally makes games so bad that even Woke media shits on it. The only agenda of this game was to make a 10-year cash cow, and it has failed. The game is bad and unwanted, but not because of your moronic reason.
>The only agenda of this game was to make a 10-year cash cow
Just like how Disney wants to make fat dosh on their woke Marvel and Star Wars cinematic abominations, yet it never happens and they always flop and cancel after a season while Disney hemorrhages money with its brands, parks and streaming service. It's totally only about making money :^)
It doesn't take a genius marketing analyst to foresee that a studio that established itself making quality single player games wouldn't end up well with a activist ridden looter shooter.
the flag is enough for me not to buy it. They certainly did not put it in there out of a sense of irony, it was done to promulgate a message they believe in and I dont.
If they wanted a Squad game, they should not have gone with this premise or setting. Do levels, not an open world. Missions are theft, assassination, sabotage, etc, not killing the Justice League.
the real problem with this game is that they made a suicide squad game without 10-12 unlovable morons getting tossed into the meat grinder
game could have been great if it had a bunch of lame as shit villains that could die and be replaced at any time, with the main 4 being the only non-expendable characters.
instead we got this open world shitpile and it's out of character cutscenes with offscreen deaths
suicide squad is was and always should be the big toilet DC flushes their shit villains hoping that one of them will be big enough to clog the toilet (or at the very least keep their copyright going until the next flush)
dude I want you to know that you have made a HUGE mistake posting this image. I have an autistic obsession with death warning signs like these. They're like real-life boundaries.
>deadshot is black
Race swapping is inherently woke. At least in the movie they did it so an overpaid hollywood clown would give them free box office revenue.
They could have used black spider but no.
I think they did it because this game has been in development hell for a while and they wanted it to match up with Will Smith's Deadshot which DC thought would be huge or something
Considering the premise of a compromised JLA and Brainiac threatening the entire planet, here's a list of villains Waller could have either bought off with government money or planted bombs in to take down each member/form a team
Superman >Parasite >Metallo >Manchester Black >Lobo (assuming he's on the planet)
Flash >Captain Cold >Mirror Master >The Turtle
Wonder Woman >The Cheetah >Silver Swan >Doctor Psycho >Giganta
Green Lantern >Doctor Polaris >Psycho Pirate >Psimon
Batman >Deathstroke >Solomon Grundy
If you'd like to know more about these characters, hit me up. Game is shit, but I don't really have anything to add on the woke shit
again the concept of "The injustice league save the world" would've been a better idea. I hate how the Suicide squad has turned into the anti-hero brigade.
Suicide Squad is the DC equivalent of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Le epic edgy humor team because they do not have the whole hero schtick burdening them.
Yeah, there are easily 50+ better choices to do the job who could have been paid and would have taken it than Harley Quinn or Captain Boomerang. Parasite could've soloed it low diff if Waller gave him some disguise tech to let him get close enough to someone to touch them and start the ball rolling. But whatever, DC is insistent on pushing Quinn as a Suicide Squad member or solo act even though she has no superpowers or noteworthy skills other than being a zany woman. I used to love her in BTAS. Now she's easily the most annoying character in the DC universe.
There are technically 3 Cheetahs. The most well known is the cursed were-cheetah, Barbra Minerva, the 3rd and most recent. The original, Priscilla Rich, wore a cheetah suit
This is what Ganker doesn't understand. Game developers are companies, and they are trying to capitalize on the "woke capitalism" boom like every other country. They failed to take into account that their consumerbase hates wokeshit more than the average population.
Either that or they decided they want to appeal to the normies who don't even play video games in hopes to expand their markets.
Wasn't Bud Light actually doing a lot worse for awhile and didn't realize why they were still getting boycotted even after they essentially retracted their endorsement?
>They failed to take into account that their consumerbase hates wokeshit more than the average population.
no wokeness doesn't make a game succeed or fail. the game is going to bomb because it's just a shitty game. if the game was actually fun to play nobody and had appeal through gameplay nobody would give a shit about wokeness or a trans flag beyond some autists on Ganker. BG3 was "woke" and that game was huge.
>"woke capitalism" boom
there's no such thing
when woke products sell, it's not because they are woke, it's despite it

they would make more money by not making things woke, but they care more about pushing an agenda than they do about making money >b-b-b-but video games make more money now than ever! it must be because people love woke shit!!
mobile gacha games make up the majority of the game market and the asian anime titty games arent exactly woke
pc and console games are also massively infested with mtx now, which wasnt a thing in the past
this is why they are making more money, not because people love trannies and homosexuals

No, their stocks were higher 5 years ago. But their stocks now are still higher than before the controversy last year. That means they're doing fine.
It still hasn't fully recovered. The people definitely not doing fine are the marketing leaders who got shit canned over it.
Nice of them to be flying the party flag in game too.
Sorry, I only look at facts and logic. The protest worked to make companies move away from woke advertising, but AB is doing fine, don't delude yourselves.
They're making money for their shareholders and slowly recovering from their massive drop during covid.
Their high was $66.70 around the time this article was written. They shed nearly 20% of their value inside of a month soon after. Sure, their share price is up 5% in the past year. But they're trailing their competition on the year. Especially TAP which is up over 15%.
Bud gave away market share and whether they ever get it back is up for debate. There's no other way to spin it.
And that drop is nothing compared to the drop they've been managing since 2020. They're doing fine and aren't suddenly going to collapse like you people seem to think will happen.
Idk about you but I have seen a lot of woke shit cut back. But stock price is easily manipulated. A company can claim they had record profits but it’s only due to hyper inflation and mass layoffs they just did.

And another thing dumb about this plot; given the circumstances and stakes, Waller couldn't consult Doctor Ivo or at least steal his data to create another AMAZO android? For those unaware, it's a highly advanced weapon capable of adapting and mimicking the powers of its target. He/It is a Justice League level threat

Over the last decade, I have come to hate the culture war and how it has ruined everything I used to enjoy: video games, books, film, education, business--everything. Most of all, I hate how its outcome is always inconclusive. Despite millions of hours wasted on all the pointless internet arguments, both sides end up intermixing, capitulating. and compromising over time, and our culture becomes something that nobody wants. Nobody ever loses, so long as people with a certain mentality are alive, but nobody ever wins.
Then the war in Ukraine started, and I realized that I loved war, because its outcome is conclusive. One side kills another, and the side that kills "wins the argument". There is no equivocation. It's "fair".
Does anyone else feel this way, and long for conclusion?
>another low IQ "both sides are equally bad" argument when one single side has a stranglehold on all of pop culture and is forcing their politics into everything from capeshit to kids cartoon and they are equally bad to the side asking them to stop
You can just say you are a leftist who knows the left has gone too far and can't defend this crap anymore so you just will say both sides are bad like a coward and larp like an independent and save us all time here. I agree, they have gone too far too.
Everyone is cringe now and interactions are less human, they can only see the cringe of the other side but not what they have become as a response, every conversation is just a boring physics equation playing itself out now.
Sometimes you just want to watch the world burn. I gotcha.
>another low IQ "both sides are equally bad" argument when one single side has a stranglehold on all of pop culture and is forcing their politics into everything from capeshit to kids cartoon and they are equally bad to the side asking them to stop
Both sides ARE bad because the side that doesn't have the stranglehold is opting to sit and do nothing. You're thus guilty of it by proxy. Nothing ever changed in the world because someone THOUGHT of doing something.
>because its outcome is conclusive
Not really. If Ukraine cedes some territory but keeps their independence, then either side could say they won the war.
>Then the war in Ukraine started, and I realized that I loved war, because its outcome is conclusive. One side kills another, and the side that kills "wins the argument". There is no equivocation. It's "fair".
Seems like something a villain would say, so I'll be shamelessly stealing it.
Why the ever loving frick did they put this in the Arkhamverse. This could've just been a forgettable DC thing that might have made money if they didn't draw in all the bad publicity.
Somewhere during the pitch meeting, some overpaid nepo israeli hire that has since moved on to ruin another game used the phrase "brand synergy" over and over until they gave in.

Suppose there's a Supervillain called Noncefoe and he goes around killing members of Jeffrey Epstein's flight log (and other famous pedos). Would Superman be compelled to protect ex US president Bill Clinton (and others) know they will NEVER be arrested/prosecuted for their crimes?
How fricking insane it is that we will never have a game WITHOUT these flags ever again?? Doesn't matter the setting: cyberpunk, superheroes, space sci-fi... hell, soon we will have these flags in fantasy and prehistoric games too. Isn't it insane that there will never be a "normal" game made ever again?
My guess is that people thought the game would be like that show the dudes or whatever where the superheroes are evil but it's just a milquetoast game that doesnt make much sense and people are afraid to create something edgy
always interesting to see combat gameplay interpreted by moronic casuals.
that being said these older batman games at least looked good and seemed to be a good batman simulator.
>destiny is kinda big right now >gets repeatedly mogged by fricking warframe of all things >which also has a woman in charge of development now but somehow the game according to its community is getting better because said woman actually plays the game and experiences the issues first hand

Spending 9 years on a game and having a big corporation interfere with your vision isn't viable, people move on. A lot of the Rocksteady developers who work in England now are foreigners, studio is dead
this picture right here is why studio fanboyism is just inherently bad. yeah, a particular company can make a good game, typically when they just form and have that star team with a vision that's ready to fricking kick ass. when they're successful, they almost always get an influx of talent that floods the studio, dilutes the vision, and then in all liklihood gets bought by a bigger entity, to take the IP control from them. by the end of the studios life, the team making the game aren't even close to the original team that made the studio's name. this shit happened with volition too. the volition that made the newer saints row had nothing to do with the development of 3 or 4, let alone the original 2. volition in name only.
This and Darktide are the most mind boggling games for me. It's just inconceivable that studios full of people, spending years working on something could come up with those games as a concept. The succession of utterly moronic decisions you have to make, when working within settings that have so many amazing options for games, and you end up with a selection of the most worthless, forgettable set of villains, none of them have any abilities to even build gameplay around, fighting the heroes you actually want to be playing, in a superhero game where everyone uses guns etc. it's just mental. Truly, the peak example of everything that has gone wrong with AAA studio game design and development over the years.
Darktide is conceptually fine, playing as nobodies becoming somebodies in the inperium is a solid concept. The problem is they abandoned the character writing of Vermintide and them released a barely functional mess that was flat out unfun to play beyond a few hours.
Wow a whole 13k people playing the game that cost $100mm+ to make? Yeah totally winning. You know it's grim because the people who would give negative reviews didn't even buy the game, so the game is 100% a bubble echo chamber. Normies are now 100% checked out. Woof.
13K is a critical business failure.
Remember the last shitty shooter looter Outriders? It had 10X more and still had its development shut down shortly after.
How soon until Rocksteady is shuttered? I say they release season 1 then get shit canned. Does anyone think they won't even get that far? These numbers do seem historically bad.
All I know is that it looks bad. I don't care about the culture war stuff. I don't want to play the game because it is obviously something I wouldn't enjoy. No need for politics here.
If the game was fun It's politics wouldn't matter but it's not. Cant carry a shit game by throwing up rainbow flags everywhere. The fact of the matter is this AAA format is old and busted, and they're trying everything they can to draw attention to these turds without actually innovating.
They made a game in a genre no one wanted, with characters no one cared with gameplay no one bothers with.
It's the exact opposite of getting multiple good things from different game to make something great.
>They made a game in a genre no one wanted, with characters no one cared with gameplay no one bothers with.
Nope. If it was a good game with a cool story and handsome characters (like Arkham was) then it would have been a success. Simple as.
(And could still slip by tons of woke shit but it would be digestible because the game is good)
Amazing that they tried to push this narrative that people are seething over killing the justice league but the reality is that the game sucks and its another woke live service singleplayer piece of trash.
conceptually a suicide squad game could have worked, but making it a shitty gaas slop was a mistake. it should have been something of the sort
>single player game >have slade as main protag >start of with a few f tier super villains at the start of the game, each of them plays very differently from each other and true to their gimmick, with all it's pros and limitations >trough the game you fight a main baddie Braniac's army of possessed civilians, goons, heroes AND villains >your main objective is to save all the heroes while having the option either kill or save the villains >saved villains become selectable characters for your missions while dead ones give another type of upgrade. >team up with the heroes to beat brainiac at the end >missions are also scored, have secrets and can be replayed at any time
i don't think it would have been too hard to do this.
Congrats, you're smarter and more creative than the entire Warner Bros executive suite.
But they have MBAs and you don't, so they make the decisions and then get golden parachutes while everyone else gets laid off.
>Rocksteady's redemption arc...
The frick you are talking about?
Redemption ark starts ONLY when company made at LEAST one new good game.
Rocksteady games were all trash lately. So where exactly you see redemption there?
The only company which had redemption ark was Capcome with DMC 5, Megaman 11 and RE remake 2. But it all went to shit lately as well.
>Rocksteady games were all trash lately.
They haven't released a game since 2015, you're the one that obviously doesn't know what they're talking about. Arkham Asylum and City were great. Knight was mostly just a technical disaster at launch.
>It was supposed to be Rocksteady's redemption arc...
It was a microtransaction skinner box bullshit they modified on the last second that don't add anything good to it.
You're all a bunch of consolized homosexuals anyway, you all shill the older bats games as some standard bearer, despite the fact the combat in 99% of situations could be played blindfolded with the use of a SINGLE BUTTON. I hate every damn one of you, you're everything wrong with gaming, dysgenic tub of lards that need a tiktok video to show you how to wipe your ass. Get fukt by a machete.
And for you souls lovers, ROLLING AROUND LIKE A PRICK WITH IFRAMES IS NO BETTER
I reject 'consoles outta nowhere'
The bats games have console in its dna, inc this latest rocksteady slop, these games were all designed so you braindead maggots could play with minimum input and look cool.
Souls was mentioned because they'd read the first half of my post and feel superior, thinking "yeah bruh, those rocksteady noobs lul, one button lul, not like us lul, with our high IQ combat lul"
NO! You're rolling about in invincibility, in full plate armour!!!TF???
Don't even start me on modern fpsers lad, with inbuilt wall hacks, minimaps with player positions, health regens, fricking MAGIC POWERS!!!!
I am sick and tired of that bug eyed nog in everything. Fatigued even. Even though the casting is somewhat appropriate considering Waller, but the well is poisoned.
>what went wrong
You spend all day on Twitter making snips to bring here and you don't know?
You make threads here over and over and you don't know?
You claim to lurk here daily and yet you still ask the question?
Who are these threads for?
Aren't we the choir and isn't this preaching to us?

I don't know a single guy who hates batman, least of all from anyone who would play a DC universe game
and yes, fan favorite for people who play this kind of games,
or are you implying the target audience for this game is people who don't like superheroes or DC? because I guarantee you, anyone who hates capeshit won't play capeshit even if they're not playing as the hero
Batman sucks, so there's one guy.
I hate all superheroes tbh tho.
I do like the Joker, Dredd and Slaine. None of which are heroes.
Damn, Slaine would make for a great game char.
my favorite thing about these threads is that it's like five discords raiding each other, calling each other troony chud woke go leave whatever the frick, and then maybe five people talking about the game itself, and the talk being about the game being shit
game is shit by the way
>Make GAAS game >Besides grappling hook gameplay is just another 3rd person shooter but with enemies who stand still and out in the open >God awful HUD and visual blinding you every time something happens >When you get to even see shit, game looks worse than previous game made 9 years ago >”Oh shit we made a fricking terrible game. What are we gonna do? Oh wait, what if we add in a bunch of woke shit so that all legitimate criticism of the game will be deflected!”
This shit has been going on for almost a decade. I still see homosexuals on YouTube defending the 2016 Ghostbusters film for some reason. Using the same exact “if you don’t like this movie it’s because you’re just sexist >:(“ talking points.
Don´t be silly, no one actually considers this connected to the Arkham games and no one really expected anything from it. Ok, maybe at first when both this and Arkham knights were announced the people thought that sticking to the Rocksteady game was the sensible thing to do, so yeah, maybe it was considered relevant at some point but that hype died long before release.
>best game in recent history that is justice league themed is a fricking porn game starring lex luthor mindbreaking herones
where the frick did WB go so fricking wrong?
rogue like also blows, but not because of idea or gameplay or art or anything, it just adds a billion different things you can do and never fully finishes a single route.
>be me >see Ganker, twitter and IGN shitting on the game for days >thought it would be the most garbage game of all time >actually play the game >Animation is state of the art >Models are Amazing >gameplay is ok >story is weak but inoffensive >IGN gave it a fricking 5
No wonder the reviews in steam are good, you guys are moronic, this game is a solid 7.
You guys really base your personality on random youtubers
>It was supposed to be Rocksteady's redemption arc...
But it wasn't. There was a plethora of red flags a year ahead of release and the leadership + core devs abandoned ship. People who bought it are just morons who can't think for themselves.
Not to mention that when this game showed back in 2021 or whatever everything is literally the same stuff that we see in the released game. I get that there's probably plenty of content they hadn't finished still, but how on Earth would it take them 3+ years to finish the release if it already looked practically like it was a ready-to-release game so long ago? I think they had bad tests that informed them that this was a 6/10 game, delayed it with some experiments to add different gameplay into it to give it substance; more negative test results, another delay, and then the founders just quit knowing that this game was going to be their undoing.
Idk, shit game probably.
Too many women caused every single competent dev they had to leave the company. Many such cases.
By everyone who is honest
Capeshit is gay by default, X-men is all about "special people oppressed by normies" so what's the problem here?
XXX-men
gayshit interpretation of it in recent years.
Xmen is barely about normies at all, it is largely about civil war between two major groups of special people. In fact, it is primarily about a conflict wherein the majority of modern writers would support Magneto over Xavier.
troonies have their own fetish comics and discords and don't engage in a dying medium (comic book writers themselves don't count, I'm talking about the consoomer).
Any letter pride shit is the company acknowledging the game is poor and they need other means to increase sales.
x-men was never about gay or gay shit. Stan Lee was known for lying so when people pushed a narrative of it being about blacks/gays he agreed with it because it sounded nice
>literally plant your woke flag in the game
>IT'S NOT WOKE S-STOP SEETHING SNOWFLAKES HAHA
delusional, mindbroken, mentally ill, dishonest. we just want you to frick off back to redd.it. thanks.
They're right. If the game was really woke, they could have easily added a new superhero wearing a rainbow suit and constantly lecturing about their struggle. Adding a few flags that are easily passed by is not worth complaining about.
Have you ever heard of the Boiling Frog theory? These people will never stop at just one thing. They will demand more and more until they take over everything. People need to establish firm boundaries and don’t compromise on it. So frick off tranni
X-Men was made with teens coming of age in mind, something literally everyone goes through, the feeling of isolation and change during puberty
The parallels were kept extremely vague, as to seem appealing to everyone
Then the BLT community "connected the dots" and made it about them, and with Disney getting esg money, they couldn't lose
Yes, we've only been aware of each for a little bit, but do you really think the big IP industry would've so blatantly flipped the script without SOME guaranteed incentive?
>The parallels were kept extremely vague, as to seem appealing to everyone
One of the X-Men's enemies is literally called "The Right"
>take a universal theme like the struggle of being exceptional and having crabs trying to bring you back into the bucket
>immediately thinks about gays
X-men is about cool superpowers and you damn well know it
It isn't, it's about minorities.
>Some gay developer put his stupid flag in
So what?
>they rape kids
so what?
>doesn't know what website he's on
Black person
certainly not a homosexual troony one
>lgbt flag defender
No, I'm just calling you what you are, a chud.
I was never going to play this game and never will because it's woke. Do you also complain that rap is full of Black folk?
>projection
You are a pedophile you have zero arguments

ironic you post that considering feminists literally sent this pedophile to jail
Proof?

Dude says you frick kids and your response is "Yeah, well you want to frick a cartoon ghost kid, a cartoon witch kid, and some other cartoon characters!"
Can you see where you went wrong? Like, can you decern fiction from reality? You fricking children and people jerking off to cartoon porn are two different things.

You don't know what centrist means, moron.
this is just realistic for the average organization in 2024. Superman would come back from defending Israel from gazan children to give a speech at the white house about trans rights
What would prevent Superman from ending that war on the spot?
The fact that American writers invented him.
Can't have genocide without 6 million to kill
Sorry Superman, but I am a child of a holocaust survivor.

That's Wonder Woman's business.

Is this supposed to make us sympathize with the suicide squad's motivations for destroying the justice league?
God I sincerely fricking hope Rocksteady goes under. This is beyond fricking embarrassing.
Why Rocksteady and not the "sensitivity consultants" who put this shit in there? You should want them to go under.
How did they people get their shit forced in the game without Rocksteady knowing? Unless, you know, they hired them and are therefore culpable.
They did know, but it's an organized crime racket
I am so sick of LGBT pride, they are genuinely insufferably too fricking full of themselves.
This. So much this. Make sure to own them by crying about it every day in your cambodian basketweaving board.
there's some irony in you crying over people just stating their annoyance over gay shit.
>220 posts

It's narcissism and directionless. They can't even agree on what the flag should look like
There was literally nothing wrong with the rainbow flag. They really fricked it up by adding all the other bullshit to it.
it's almost parody how much random shit they keep tacking onto it at this point. I feel like a rainbow representing all colors on the spectrum is a self-evident enough message
>colors arranged on a flag make chuds this angry they type out captchas just to show their seethe
Maximum level snowflake LMAO
Here's your (You), you naughty little monkey
Funny, because this flag exists in this scene for the sole purpose of covering up what canonically supposed to be a giant obnoxious banner of the stars and stripes.
So who cares, how does that affect you. It’s visible for like 2 seconds. The flag is there for disparaged people who aren’t white. Get over yourself
>So who cares, how does that affect you.
I dont think you understood my point . This flag exists in this scene to prevent your innocent baby eyes from seeing the american flag against your will .
Am I just being really highbrow, or does no one else sense the layers of ironic humor here?
There's usually a coat of irony with anything LGBT related
Developers are too dense to find the irony here. This is played straight when it could be a great joke from the villains perspective.
So the Suicide Squad wants to kill the LGBT League? dare I say based?
this is the obvious line of reasoning here. this board is filled with genuine morons
that's an outdated and bigoted flag.
>Some schizo actually took the time to make this image
Why
Fun I guess
Something you never had in your life, miserable troon
Yea I bet the guy with that advanced brain rot has a lot of fun and definitely doesn't spend his waking and sleeping hours seething about rainbows on the internet

The world is due for another holocaust.

Flawless logic.
>no Ukraine flag
yikes...
Shit's last year. Who cares.
that flag is really fricking ugly and its so forced that troonyggers and homosexuals are trying to absorb browns and blacks as a whole
>homosexuals are trying to absorb browns and blacks as a whole
they can have em
If they take them, you are next.
I am pretty okay with the rainbow flag representing LGBT stuff and all. But it's hillarious how they had to throw in extra colors for trans, BLM, and two spirit shit too. It keeps on changing. Wonder what it will look like at the end of the year.
The fact that they keep adding to the flag is because their sexuality is their whole identity and everything gets viewed through that lens making them boring, obnoxious c**ts.
the J in HALL OF JUSTICE is all fricktarded
Thanks, now I can't unsee it.
Man what the frick is wrong with these people
I hate that the original pride flag represented everyone but that wasn't good enough for some "people"
Nice of them to be flying the party flag in game too.
IF this game isn't taking place in the usa or real world why is this here?
Do not ask about the circle
>Do not
I am now asking you about the circle. What is the circle?
>We welcome all heroes
I have never played a game with this shit. My instinct is precise.
The one thing heroes and villains agree on.
Go back Black person
Dilate chud
You sound so angry, troony. Grab that rope and all your troubles will disappear soon.
>Thinks I'm a troony
Why do chuds ALWAYS do this? They can't imagine a mentally well male who is too busy looking at hot women to care about trannies.
Stop talking like a troon and no one will call you out as one. Also you’re being extremely defensive.
>I really really like women
>Moeshit image
>I'm not a troon!
but "it" plays fricking troony gacha games and constantly looks at fricking anime porn even while playing games lmao.
>I really really like women
Aaron Rodgers?
Are you implying that our trans sisters are mentally unwell? Are you saying they are not hecking cute and valid, chud? /s
No I'm saying I'm not obsessed with them because there's real (fictional) women to look at instead.
I've met one troony in real life.
I've seen thousands posted here on Ganker.
What's the deal?
Do you live in an extremely liberal city
Do you want this cancer imported next to you?
I live in the mountains.
Why would I ever live in a city?
I live in Conservative bum-frick nowhere (78% of my county voted for Trump) and even I had a troony coworker.
I live in a town of about 7k
Where I live could hardly be considered a town.
Most MtF trannies claim to be "lesbians."
boring gunplay?
Woke shit aside, who thought it would be a good idea to make a super hero game where the only playable character with powers is the shark dude? Otherwise it's just:
>Guy who shoots guns good
>Guy who throws boomerangs good
>Woman with a STEM degree
The only character with serious recognition is Harley, everyone else maybe literal whos to people who don't read the comics. It's even worse when you consider they're going up against absolutely busted characters like Green Lantern, Superman and The Flash. The devs even acknowledge this somewhat indirectly, because every kill is setup by some convenient McGuffin being supplied to the characters
>Uhhh the Green Lanterns used to get BTFO by the color yellow before that was retconned decades ago, so here's this yellow lantern bomb thing that will neutralize his powers
>The Flash? More like The gay! Anyways, here's this techno doohickey that just gives Captain Boomerang similar powers.
>Ayo we got dem gold kryptonite bullets from Lex Luthor, now you can catch Superman lackin wit your glock 18 problem solver
Why do you need any of these violent unhinged convicts except maybe the shark dude, to pull this off? Why could you not give the same shit to some Delta Force guys and see similar results play out?
>The Flash? More like The gay!
Lol, ok now I'm gonna pirate this game.
Psychology isn't stem
Soft sciences are still sciences and part of STEM
Shut the frick up shill, no one had hope for this game everyone knew it was going to be a pile of shit, the only reason people are talking about it is because you homosexuals keep spamming these threads daily.
I think it's incredibly funny that people are complaining about the overall story when it's at the same level if not slightly above the usual quality of a comic book rag of the last 60 years. It hits the exact same beats of any other major event crossover where all main character die and then get reset Gankergays should be eating it up, but maybe they can't come to terms with the fact that it is the same story they've been reading for decades at a slightly elevated level.
>Slightly elevated level
Nice try troon
yeah surely the execution is done in a brilliant way 🙂
fricking homosexuals
I won't argue against the idea that's lots of comics are shit, problem is the game is made by people who never read those comics and couldn't care less about them.
And part of the problem you get a bunch of fanboy homosexuals who can't take the dildo out of their ass whenever a different interpretation of the property is presented. I guarantee you most anons over on that shit board would piss their pants if Batman was every presented as anything other brooding, emottionally stunted frickwit because the character has been pigeonholed as the for the last 40 years. The same way losers probably complained when Bruce was changed from his happily engaged businessman and relatively adjusted globe trotting adventurer. objectively the best version of the character, something morrison understood
You just want batman to be superman or something frick you
Batman Inc was the best thing DC had done with the character in decades. And then that nothing team who took over regressed him all over again. Comic books are such a fricking mistake.
The problem with Suicide Squad isn't that it's a different interpretation, the problem is that it's supposed to be the same Batman as Arkham's while acting like people are supposed to hate him for that.
Frick off casual. Game is shit, read more comics
Comic book sales are terrible lately, aren't they?
everyone liked the injustice comic, intersectional feminism and critical race theory will ruin a story fast
The story is written by people who hate comics and it shows.
>What exactly went wrong?
sjws.
>redemption arc.
Arkham Knight was good tho.
nah that shit was garbage
Could just say disaster.
The shitty jujutsu kaisen game has sold more and has more reviews.
How is this kind of blatant, thoughtless AI-tier shitposting not bannable?
in my mind this is the biggest gaming embarrassment since fallout the frontier. it's that level of disaster
I'm a bored comicgay willing to info dump/explain DC lore in an effort to show just how fricked this game is.
That's too easy. I want you to come up with a lore friendly explanation for how people like Superman or the Flash just didn't kill everyone.
What, you mean in the context of this game?
Yes. Tell me how 3 people with no powers and some shark dude btfo the gigapowered chads of the JL.
The game just nerfs them to the point where they are weak to bullets, Sweet Baby didn't even try to follow basic lore.
Go ahead
It's easier if you just ask general stuff you want to know more about. But I will say for starters giving Captain Boomerang a speed force gauntlet (made by Doctor Sivana of all people, really?) was dumb. In comic continuities he's just tapped into it like Barry, only using it for his throwing arm. It was just a bullshit excuse to give him a repetitive traversal gimmick rather than do something fun with his namesake
Okay so they extrapolated a dumb comic book hook to justify a gameplay mechanic, which is more import. I'm failing to see the issue.
The issue is Captain Boomerang's gimmick can be incredibly fun for combat, yet they chose instead to reduce it to a warped traversal mechanic in favor of GUNS. There should be a flurry of boomerangs bouncing around, catching to throw again, cutting enemies up or exploding depending on the type. There's no creativity here.
I was kind of surprised to see all the character mostly just use guns. Like you'd expect it for Deadshot but all the other characters have more recognizable weapons but no they just default to guns
King Shark is another good example of missing the point entirely. No he shouldn't be using a gatling gun and machetes, his trademark offense is raw strength and savagery.
Even Deadshot is conceptually flawed because to my knowledge they didn't showcase Lawton's trademark accuracy or trick shots. Then again this shit game is dead set on retconning Floyd so that's the least of its problems. I think they even said "Fake" Deadshot is from another universe, this making it even dumber
>this shit game is dead set on retconning Floyd
George Floyd?
Floyd Lawton is the civilian name of Deadshot.
They really shouldn't. The only real nerf in play here is Brainiac's mind control hindering their performance and subconscious desires not to hurt anyone, but even that has limits. Admittedly Captain Boomerang IS capable of going toe-to-toe with The Flash but that's a normal Barry Allen not trying to kill anyone. King Shark is technically a demigod and their biggest heavy hitter, so in theory he should be able to scratch Clark. But again, that's under ideal circumstances.
Isn't Boomerang only able to go toe to toe with the flash because he conveniently gets some tech device, which he had no hand in creating, that mimics the speedforce? If that's the case, him being an aussie shitposter is a bigger power than fricking good at throwing boomerangs.
>Isn't Boomerang only able to go toe to toe with the flash because he conveniently gets some tech device, which he had no hand in creating, that mimics the speedforce?
No. In modern continuities both Digger and his son have speed forced charged arms and can throw energy boomerangs.
In terms of stolen tech, you're thinking of Captain Cold, or one of the other Rogues. Captain Cold stole a cold engine capable of slowing down atoms/energy itself thanks to The Cold Field., which is useful when fighting The Flash. The Cold Field also stops bullets and such.
Also by the way The Rogues kick ass
Add another one to the list.
The Rogues are always interesting because they're just humans up against one of the most OP superheros. And in order to keep Flash from going back in time and pulling Zoom tier frickery on them while they're fetuses. They created the rules and Captain Cold is there to tard wrangle the stupider ones from putting a target on all their heads.
Also the Flash is just a good guy, so never kill a speedster.
>pic
yikes
>pic
99% of America in general is broke because Biden's economy.
The economy is fine, the problem is price gouging at all levels of the supply chain
Even without their mutual respect, The Rogues are heavy hitters that keep themselves small. Their tech is OP, and designed to counter Flash's speed.
Also it should be noted that Barry can't easily travel through time.
So what, the rogues are a sideshow act to keep the city interesting at this point?
The Rogues are thieves. Their code of "kill only in self defense or revenge" exists so there's less likelihood of escalation. Kill The Flash? The entire Justice League is on their ass. While Gorilla Grodd is trying to mind control the mayor, or Girder is trying to smash up downtown, The Rogues are quietly trying to rip off a diamond exchange. They've all served time, but with guys like Mirror Master and The Trickster they don't stay behind bars for long
>No. In modern continuities both Digger and his son have speed forced charged arms and can throw energy boomerangs.
capeshits are so fricking moronic holy shit
when I read it he just happened to be some butthole who managed to get a lucky shot on Flash once and that propelled him to infamy even though nobody really took him seriously but that was way back before new 52 or any of the other reboots
Why is a guy with a boomerang on par with Flash anyway?
Speed Force charged arms/boomerangs mixed with his marksmanship and the unpredictable trajectory of his weapon. Also they explode
The game doesn't explore this at all
His story used to be that he was just a guy who got a lucky hit on Flash with one of his Boomerangs and the infamy from that one instance convinced the Rogues let him into the crew based on that, like if you ever managed to get a lucky shot on Michael Jordan or something, but he was kind of a joke anyway.
now they gave him speed force powers or some dumb shit
The answer could be as simple as "Boomerangs are tough for the flash to dodge since they go in one direction, but always return to their initial position." He could have to dodge it multiple times on one throw depending on where he's running, and since that's something or him to keep in mind, a smart villain can capitalize on it.
It doesn't make much since in reality, but I can believe it for a comic book villain. Plus, there's a beauty in the simplicity of beating The Speed Force with a tribal human's weapon.
moronic powers being taken seriously will always be more funny and interesting and generally superior to moronic powers being made fun of.
Look the other guy was just an imposter. So what if he just so happened to be good enough to keep his reputation going and also hounded batman from nearly year one, he was just an imposter!
holy frick, are you 12?
But that lore is arbitrary. Like Ra's al Ghul is typically a global terrorist. Where as arkham Ra's is just some frick who dicked around in Gotham his whole life. It's irrelevant.
It's relevant because that's what these games are pulling from. And you're wrong, Arkham Ras is still a global player. He's just in Gotham during the events of the games because plot reasons
>game is shit for 987 reasons
>internet addicts hyperfocus on minor aesthetic reasons it's shit and make the whole thing out to be some epic culture war nonsense
you do it to yourselves, you're as much to blame as the people making this trash
>he bought into the marketing teams obvious gaslight
Yeah anon, nobody on Ganker would ever get unreasonably upset about a flag they don't like being in a video game they'll never play.
>The marketing team wants to highlight all the actual gameplay and game system problems the game has
>They are actively working to destroy the image of the game, you know, the MARKETING TEAM
>They do this to try and distract from some woke shit here and there in the game
Are you actually moronic? Not meant as an insult, did you legitimately go into special ed?
There's no other explanation
Do what, everyone's laughing at the game and companies involved, seems to be working as intended
It's overblown, but all those reasons are rooted in that the game is trying to be culture war nonsense, and even the design is built around it.
Braindead. Your mindset is so pathetic. Woke is so powerful that the largest publishers of the largest entertainment medium design their games around it. Yet Woke is so terrible that it literally makes games so bad that even Woke media shits on it. The only agenda of this game was to make a 10-year cash cow, and it has failed. The game is bad and unwanted, but not because of your moronic reason.
>The only agenda of this game was to make a 10-year cash cow
Just like how Disney wants to make fat dosh on their woke Marvel and Star Wars cinematic abominations, yet it never happens and they always flop and cancel after a season while Disney hemorrhages money with its brands, parks and streaming service. It's totally only about making money :^)
It doesn't take a genius marketing analyst to foresee that a studio that established itself making quality single player games wouldn't end up well with a activist ridden looter shooter.
>IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE BRO, THERE'S NO OTHER CULTURE AT WORK HERE
the flag is enough for me not to buy it. They certainly did not put it in there out of a sense of irony, it was done to promulgate a message they believe in and I dont.
I wish all Sweet Baby Inc. paid marketers a very swift and horrible death.
Oh brother, these Black folk are getting laid off next.
I'm so fricking tired of woke troony game after woke troony game
If they wanted a Squad game, they should not have gone with this premise or setting. Do levels, not an open world. Missions are theft, assassination, sabotage, etc, not killing the Justice League.
This isn't a hard concept to grasp
the real problem with this game is that they made a suicide squad game without 10-12 unlovable morons getting tossed into the meat grinder
game could have been great if it had a bunch of lame as shit villains that could die and be replaced at any time, with the main 4 being the only non-expendable characters.
instead we got this open world shitpile and it's out of character cutscenes with offscreen deaths
suicide squad is was and always should be the big toilet DC flushes their shit villains hoping that one of them will be big enough to clog the toilet (or at the very least keep their copyright going until the next flush)
The appeal of Suicide Squad isn't killing them, but sending them on high risk missions that could kill them.
Stop replying to this seriously you fricking autists. Have you completely lost your ability to detect bait?
dude I want you to know that you have made a HUGE mistake posting this image. I have an autistic obsession with death warning signs like these. They're like real-life boundaries.
Treasure ... if you're BADASS enough to claim it.
>just ignore them and close your eyes, that will make the problem disappear
>deadshot is black
Race swapping is inherently woke. At least in the movie they did it so an overpaid hollywood clown would give them free box office revenue.
They could have used black spider but no.
I think they did it because this game has been in development hell for a while and they wanted it to match up with Will Smith's Deadshot which DC thought would be huge or something
Frick this homosexual. Even ign hates it so this c**t cant write it off as just being incels hating on the game.
Considering the premise of a compromised JLA and Brainiac threatening the entire planet, here's a list of villains Waller could have either bought off with government money or planted bombs in to take down each member/form a team
Superman
>Parasite

If you'd like to know more about these characters, hit me up. Game is shit, but I don't really have anything to add on the woke shit
again the concept of "The injustice league save the world" would've been a better idea. I hate how the Suicide squad has turned into the anti-hero brigade.
Suicide Squad is the DC equivalent of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Le epic edgy humor team because they do not have the whole hero schtick burdening them.
Yeah, there are easily 50+ better choices to do the job who could have been paid and would have taken it than Harley Quinn or Captain Boomerang. Parasite could've soloed it low diff if Waller gave him some disguise tech to let him get close enough to someone to touch them and start the ball rolling. But whatever, DC is insistent on pushing Quinn as a Suicide Squad member or solo act even though she has no superpowers or noteworthy skills other than being a zany woman. I used to love her in BTAS. Now she's easily the most annoying character in the DC universe.
The Punisher doesn't have any special powers either.
His willpower is pretty superhuman, his marksmanship is top tier, and traditionally he can eat a lot of physical punishment and keep on fighting.
>His willpower is pretty superhuman
nope, Frank Castle is just a mundane Vietnam SF guy. Thats it. He is John Clark from Clancy's Without Remorse
that undersells the fact that nothing but grit and guns has him one man army'ing organized crime into the grave.
hell, Killer Frost would be a good member to include. Or the 2021 movie version of Polka Dot man.
Is Cheetah just wearing a cheetah' skin?
There are technically 3 Cheetahs. The most well known is the cursed were-cheetah, Barbra Minerva, the 3rd and most recent. The original, Priscilla Rich, wore a cheetah suit
Imagine Killer Frost designed by 2015 Rocksteady.
This is what Ganker doesn't understand. Game developers are companies, and they are trying to capitalize on the "woke capitalism" boom like every other country. They failed to take into account that their consumerbase hates wokeshit more than the average population.
Either that or they decided they want to appeal to the normies who don't even play video games in hopes to expand their markets.
Wasn't Bud Light actually doing a lot worse for awhile and didn't realize why they were still getting boycotted even after they essentially retracted their endorsement?
That was in April 2023 so when it just started
>They failed to take into account that their consumerbase hates wokeshit more than the average population.
no wokeness doesn't make a game succeed or fail. the game is going to bomb because it's just a shitty game. if the game was actually fun to play nobody and had appeal through gameplay nobody would give a shit about wokeness or a trans flag beyond some autists on Ganker. BG3 was "woke" and that game was huge.
>Articles written moments before disaster.
>"woke capitalism" boom
there's no such thing
when woke products sell, it's not because they are woke, it's despite it
no one buys woke shit for being woke, but many people may refuse to buy it because of that
they would make more money by not making things woke, but they care more about pushing an agenda than they do about making money
>b-b-b-but video games make more money now than ever! it must be because people love woke shit!!
mobile gacha games make up the majority of the game market and the asian anime titty games arent exactly woke
pc and console games are also massively infested with mtx now, which wasnt a thing in the past
this is why they are making more money, not because people love trannies and homosexuals
the whole bud light thing was hilarious to me.
bud light had done lgbt propaganda editions of their beer before and no one seemd to care. they had a pride version too and again no one cared.
the moment a troony became their spokesperson it all spiraled downhill however.
>Bud Light is gonna be just fine
Anheuser Busch is higher today than it was before the troony beercan controversy.
They're doing fine.
It still hasn't fully recovered. The people definitely not doing fine are the marketing leaders who got shit canned over it.
>more profitable than ever
Bud Light lost 7 Billion dolars
Gilete lost 8 BILLION dolars
Warner lost 20 BILLION dolars
Netflix lost 40 BILLION dolars
AMAZON LOST 1 T-TRILION DOLARS
BLACKROOT LOST 1.7 T-T-TRILION DOLARS in 4 months
>than ever
No, their stocks were higher 5 years ago. But their stocks now are still higher than before the controversy last year. That means they're doing fine.
Sorry, I only look at facts and logic. The protest worked to make companies move away from woke advertising, but AB is doing fine, don't delude yourselves.
Idk what protest you're talking about or what AB is anon, I'm just joking about the gay flag in game.
>That means they're doing fine.
>t. never took a business course
lol lmao
They're making money for their shareholders and slowly recovering from their massive drop during covid.
And that drop is nothing compared to the drop they've been managing since 2020. They're doing fine and aren't suddenly going to collapse like you people seem to think will happen.
Idk about you but I have seen a lot of woke shit cut back. But stock price is easily manipulated. A company can claim they had record profits but it’s only due to hyper inflation and mass layoffs they just did.
Buy some stock
Yeah bro buy some knorr vegetable stock pot
Their high was $66.70 around the time this article was written. They shed nearly 20% of their value inside of a month soon after. Sure, their share price is up 5% in the past year. But they're trailing their competition on the year. Especially TAP which is up over 15%.
Bud gave away market share and whether they ever get it back is up for debate. There's no other way to spin it.
I wish this shit wasn't GAAS and had Denuvo. I'd play it for free.
Probably would have been better received if it wasn't forced to be a live service game.
God you chuds are so fricking PATHETIC.
Get it in your thick skulls, WE WON. DEAL WITH IT.
you successfully made civilization worse for everyone but illegal immigrants from destitute shitholes and colored people who don't have the skills to thrive on a merit based society to the detriment of everyone else. you win!
no you lost because you will never be a woman
And another thing dumb about this plot; given the circumstances and stakes, Waller couldn't consult Doctor Ivo or at least steal his data to create another AMAZO android? For those unaware, it's a highly advanced weapon capable of adapting and mimicking the powers of its target. He/It is a Justice League level threat
He wasn't in a movie.
He showed up in the Crisis on infinite earth animated movie.
Yes but not in a live action one which is the thing Warner wants.
I just watched a video on it and the live service element is getting to go through the entire game again to kill another Brainiac from another universe. Holy hell that's bad.
reminder that Ganker has gotten normified in the last decade
coronavirus really struck the nail in
all of your opinions are shit
i hate all of you
i hope the entire world gets EMP'd
internet was a mistake
Just knowing this games failure is making trannies and homosexuals seethe is enough for me
What's the matter chud, hit a nerve? Corporations is a good thing for any true blue leftist.
Lmao look at this angry homosexual, shaking at his computer in rage as strangers on a Mongolian basket weaving forum rightfully shit on his troony infused goy slop. Fun and funny fact, almost 50% of trannies WILL kill themselves, hopefully we can push it past 50 soon
>Woke
Opinion discarded everytime I see that word. "Degenerate" is one also.
How about homosexual?
>Game bombs
>"ACT-TUALLY ITS N-NOT WOKE!!!"
Like clockwork.
>game is called suicide squad kill the justice league
>"omg you kill the justice league!"
Keep spamming this shit and maybe it will become true one day.
Devs denied the Superman game they wanted to develop and instead assigned GaaS garbage instead.
it's such nonsense. they threw aside their arkham "universe" I guess to make a shitty game for a shitty movie people immediately forgot about.
>Devs denied the Superman game they wanted to develop
this is an untrue rumor that keeps persisting. They never were working on a superman game
https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/11/17/no-suicide-squad-did-not-kill-a-rocksteady-superman-game-even-if-it-seems-like-it/
So you're telling me they ACTUALLY spent seven years on this piece of shit?
The game is a piece of crap for many different reasons. It being woke is definitely a reason why it is crap, but it is not the only reason.
A white guy is the captain of the team. All is as it should be.
litetally nobody thought it would be good and they basically told anyone who was a fan of the arkham games to go frick themselves
>What exactly went wrong?
capeshit
woke
They had sweet baby inc write their game + all the old devs had already left
there's very little left of the original team that worked on the batman games
Woke and degenerate.
NINE YEARS
Over the last decade, I have come to hate the culture war and how it has ruined everything I used to enjoy: video games, books, film, education, business--everything. Most of all, I hate how its outcome is always inconclusive. Despite millions of hours wasted on all the pointless internet arguments, both sides end up intermixing, capitulating. and compromising over time, and our culture becomes something that nobody wants. Nobody ever loses, so long as people with a certain mentality are alive, but nobody ever wins.
Then the war in Ukraine started, and I realized that I loved war, because its outcome is conclusive. One side kills another, and the side that kills "wins the argument". There is no equivocation. It's "fair".
Does anyone else feel this way, and long for conclusion?
>another low IQ "both sides are equally bad" argument when one single side has a stranglehold on all of pop culture and is forcing their politics into everything from capeshit to kids cartoon and they are equally bad to the side asking them to stop
You are the one that is satisfied with pointless, endless, fruitless internet fights. The one who has settled for "both sides" is you.
You can just say you are a leftist who knows the left has gone too far and can't defend this crap anymore so you just will say both sides are bad like a coward and larp like an independent and save us all time here. I agree, they have gone too far too.
You have completely misread my initial post. Go back and read it again.
Everyone is cringe now and interactions are less human, they can only see the cringe of the other side but not what they have become as a response, every conversation is just a boring physics equation playing itself out now.
Sometimes you just want to watch the world burn. I gotcha.
Both sides ARE bad because the side that doesn't have the stranglehold is opting to sit and do nothing. You're thus guilty of it by proxy. Nothing ever changed in the world because someone THOUGHT of doing something.
>because its outcome is conclusive
Not really. If Ukraine cedes some territory but keeps their independence, then either side could say they won the war.
No, but I like this sentence:
>Then the war in Ukraine started, and I realized that I loved war, because its outcome is conclusive. One side kills another, and the side that kills "wins the argument". There is no equivocation. It's "fair".
Seems like something a villain would say, so I'll be shamelessly stealing it.
Why the ever loving frick did they put this in the Arkhamverse. This could've just been a forgettable DC thing that might have made money if they didn't draw in all the bad publicity.
Somewhere during the pitch meeting, some overpaid nepo israeli hire that has since moved on to ruin another game used the phrase "brand synergy" over and over until they gave in.
>hey The Avengers flopped hard.
>so lets make that but in DC Comics flavor.
total capeshit exhaustion has settled in
ItS BeCAuSe ItS WoKE
No, it's because its a shit game that no one wants to buy and they didn't learn their lesson from marvels avengers with the fan fiction self insert character
>ItS BeCAuSe ItS WoKE
>No, it's because its a shit game that no one wants
Weird how those go hand in hand.
this triggered chuddies harder than a rainbow rising over a black rock
if a bunch of people come up to say youre gay and wrong, you are wrong, and probably challenged
Have sex.
holy Rent free
More like you cuckies got absolutely BTFO by every reply lmao
Chuds are pathetic.
only day you'll be ruining is investors and execs when every game you touch flops hard
Sweet baby writers seems to be more incompetent than fanfic writers.
Suppose there's a Supervillain called Noncefoe and he goes around killing members of Jeffrey Epstein's flight log (and other famous pedos). Would Superman be compelled to protect ex US president Bill Clinton (and others) know they will NEVER be arrested/prosecuted for their crimes?
why does braniac look so moronic
...the article title tells me this is probably not an actually legitimate website worth a damn. Pandering website likely.
How fricking insane it is that we will never have a game WITHOUT these flags ever again?? Doesn't matter the setting: cyberpunk, superheroes, space sci-fi... hell, soon we will have these flags in fantasy and prehistoric games too. Isn't it insane that there will never be a "normal" game made ever again?
they fired all the straight white males and spent the last few years just tweeting pure woke propaganda instead of making a good game
if they don't fed israelite glowBlack folk will sic the lawyers on them
this could be the straightest most /misc/ fueled shit possible but if its live service I'll not play it. Same reason I hate and skip all gachashit.
yea the scales tip both ways. If you pander to either side its too obvious and I'll not spend any money on your game.
the boycotts dont work but also please stop boycotting things
How long until gamers are arrested for economic terrorism?
didnt take long? everybody with half a brain could see that shit weeks before release
My guess is that people thought the game would be like that show the dudes or whatever where the superheroes are evil but it's just a milquetoast game that doesnt make much sense and people are afraid to create something edgy
Glad to see the dead, woke game fail. Hopefully Rocksteady will be closed soon.
>literally, after
These people are paid to write.
Live service game, just like Avengers. It had nothing to do with the capes being killed.
it wasn't a passion project
it's a trend chasing product
always interesting to see combat gameplay interpreted by moronic casuals.
that being said these older batman games at least looked good and seemed to be a good batman simulator.
Wrong. Modern devs ARE passionate about this kind of shit. The big corpo didn't tell them to get Sweet Baby Inc on board, they did that themselves.
extremely rare modern penny arcade W
>destiny is kinda big right now
>gets repeatedly mogged by fricking warframe of all things
>which also has a woman in charge of development now but somehow the game according to its community is getting better because said woman actually plays the game and experiences the issues first hand
jesus christ man
I never bother with GAAS trash but Im curious about wich game was worse the Avengers game or the Ack Squad
i think ack squad is slightly better, at least gameplay wise
avengers was so fricking boring because all you ever fought was robots
in suicide squad they at least try to make it fun with traversal
both are still soulless
Spending 9 years on a game and having a big corporation interfere with your vision isn't viable, people move on. A lot of the Rocksteady developers who work in England now are foreigners, studio is dead
this picture right here is why studio fanboyism is just inherently bad. yeah, a particular company can make a good game, typically when they just form and have that star team with a vision that's ready to fricking kick ass. when they're successful, they almost always get an influx of talent that floods the studio, dilutes the vision, and then in all liklihood gets bought by a bigger entity, to take the IP control from them. by the end of the studios life, the team making the game aren't even close to the original team that made the studio's name. this shit happened with volition too. the volition that made the newer saints row had nothing to do with the development of 3 or 4, let alone the original 2. volition in name only.
Did Lex Luthor really write this?
>rocksteady's redemption arc
Literally WHO called it that?
Anyone who can tell that a big budget AAA capeshit title only having 10k players and 2k reviews days after launch is frickinh embarassing.
I think I'm gonna buy the game guys, it looks fun and I don't actually care about the plot which is what you seem to be upset about
Cool, enjoy your goslop.
play warframe instead
Haha
This and Darktide are the most mind boggling games for me. It's just inconceivable that studios full of people, spending years working on something could come up with those games as a concept. The succession of utterly moronic decisions you have to make, when working within settings that have so many amazing options for games, and you end up with a selection of the most worthless, forgettable set of villains, none of them have any abilities to even build gameplay around, fighting the heroes you actually want to be playing, in a superhero game where everyone uses guns etc. it's just mental. Truly, the peak example of everything that has gone wrong with AAA studio game design and development over the years.
Darktide is conceptually fine, playing as nobodies becoming somebodies in the inperium is a solid concept. The problem is they abandoned the character writing of Vermintide and them released a barely functional mess that was flat out unfun to play beyond a few hours.
I just totally disagree.
> I ENJOYED THIS GAME
> IT WAS KINOOO
> HARLEY SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>"hehe its a le woke disaster"
>steam reviews status: mostly positive
Wow a whole 13k people playing the game that cost $100mm+ to make? Yeah totally winning. You know it's grim because the people who would give negative reviews didn't even buy the game, so the game is 100% a bubble echo chamber. Normies are now 100% checked out. Woof.
13K is a critical business failure.
Remember the last shitty shooter looter Outriders? It had 10X more and still had its development shut down shortly after.
>Remember the last shitty shooter looter Outriders?
No
How soon until Rocksteady is shuttered? I say they release season 1 then get shit canned. Does anyone think they won't even get that far? These numbers do seem historically bad.
All I know is that it looks bad. I don't care about the culture war stuff. I don't want to play the game because it is obviously something I wouldn't enjoy. No need for politics here.
If the game was fun It's politics wouldn't matter but it's not. Cant carry a shit game by throwing up rainbow flags everywhere. The fact of the matter is this AAA format is old and busted, and they're trying everything they can to draw attention to these turds without actually innovating.
Is it just me or is going woke more effective than using denuvo? I guess if you really don't want anyone to play your game you do both.
If they made Harley look and act hot, the game would sell well.
Breast and bum physics are so game elevating. I wish all games had them.
My god... the technology we've come so far with, and then you see what they're doing with it now.
They made a game in a genre no one wanted, with characters no one cared with gameplay no one bothers with.
It's the exact opposite of getting multiple good things from different game to make something great.
>They made a game in a genre no one wanted, with characters no one cared with gameplay no one bothers with.
Nope. If it was a good game with a cool story and handsome characters (like Arkham was) then it would have been a success. Simple as.
(And could still slip by tons of woke shit but it would be digestible because the game is good)
>If it was a good game with a cool story it would be good
No shit?
I mostly responded to the genre part tbh. It has tons of potential.
I like the game.
Amazing that they tried to push this narrative that people are seething over killing the justice league but the reality is that the game sucks and its another woke live service singleplayer piece of trash.
conceptually a suicide squad game could have worked, but making it a shitty gaas slop was a mistake. it should have been something of the sort
>single player game
>have slade as main protag
>start of with a few f tier super villains at the start of the game, each of them plays very differently from each other and true to their gimmick, with all it's pros and limitations
>trough the game you fight a main baddie Braniac's army of possessed civilians, goons, heroes AND villains
>your main objective is to save all the heroes while having the option either kill or save the villains
>saved villains become selectable characters for your missions while dead ones give another type of upgrade.
>team up with the heroes to beat brainiac at the end
>missions are also scored, have secrets and can be replayed at any time
i don't think it would have been too hard to do this.
Congrats, you're smarter and more creative than the entire Warner Bros executive suite.
But they have MBAs and you don't, so they make the decisions and then get golden parachutes while everyone else gets laid off.
>Rocksteady's redemption arc...
The frick you are talking about?
Redemption ark starts ONLY when company made at LEAST one new good game.
Rocksteady games were all trash lately. So where exactly you see redemption there?
The only company which had redemption ark was Capcome with DMC 5, Megaman 11 and RE remake 2. But it all went to shit lately as well.
>Rocksteady games were all trash lately.
They haven't released a game since 2015, you're the one that obviously doesn't know what they're talking about. Arkham Asylum and City were great. Knight was mostly just a technical disaster at launch.
>It was supposed to be Rocksteady's redemption arc...
It was a microtransaction skinner box bullshit they modified on the last second that don't add anything good to it.
You're all a bunch of consolized homosexuals anyway, you all shill the older bats games as some standard bearer, despite the fact the combat in 99% of situations could be played blindfolded with the use of a SINGLE BUTTON. I hate every damn one of you, you're everything wrong with gaming, dysgenic tub of lards that need a tiktok video to show you how to wipe your ass. Get fukt by a machete.
And for you souls lovers, ROLLING AROUND LIKE A PRICK WITH IFRAMES IS NO BETTER

I reject 'consoles outta nowhere'
The bats games have console in its dna, inc this latest rocksteady slop, these games were all designed so you braindead maggots could play with minimum input and look cool.
Souls was mentioned because they'd read the first half of my post and feel superior, thinking "yeah bruh, those rocksteady noobs lul, one button lul, not like us lul, with our high IQ combat lul"
NO! You're rolling about in invincibility, in full plate armour!!!TF???
Don't even start me on modern fpsers lad, with inbuilt wall hacks, minimaps with player positions, health regens, fricking MAGIC POWERS!!!!
Nothing, game is fire!
>go woke go broke
>t-this doesn't count c-chud! it failed because it was a bad game not because it was woke!
It didn't even fail. It was in Steam bestsellers for a while. Normies don't care.
>Rocksteady's redemption arc
They didn't need redemption until this game came out.
I am sick and tired of that bug eyed nog in everything. Fatigued even. Even though the casting is somewhat appropriate considering Waller, but the well is poisoned.
>what went wrong
You spend all day on Twitter making snips to bring here and you don't know?
You make threads here over and over and you don't know?
You claim to lurk here daily and yet you still ask the question?
Who are these threads for?
Aren't we the choir and isn't this preaching to us?
Why do threads like this feel like grooming
it must feel terrible to get mogged so hard a year earlier by Gotham Knights
I really don't understand why they didn't swap Batman and Wonder Woman's role.

Capeshitters begone
I don't know a single guy who hates batman, least of all from anyone who would play a DC universe game
and yes, fan favorite for people who play this kind of games,
or are you implying the target audience for this game is people who don't like superheroes or DC? because I guarantee you, anyone who hates capeshit won't play capeshit even if they're not playing as the hero
Don't read capeshit apologia
Batman sucks, so there's one guy.
I hate all superheroes tbh tho.
I do like the Joker, Dredd and Slaine. None of which are heroes.
Damn, Slaine would make for a great game char.
my favorite thing about these threads is that it's like five discords raiding each other, calling each other troony chud woke go leave whatever the frick, and then maybe five people talking about the game itself, and the talk being about the game being shit
game is shit by the way
Wow this board must finally be fricking dying if this shit thread is still up here 24 hours later lmfao
I'm so sick of Hot Topic Harley Quinn

This shit has been going on for almost a decade. I still see homosexuals on YouTube defending the 2016 Ghostbusters film for some reason. Using the same exact “if you don’t like this movie it’s because you’re just sexist >:(“ talking points.
It's ok when Lex does it.
Don´t be silly, no one actually considers this connected to the Arkham games and no one really expected anything from it. Ok, maybe at first when both this and Arkham knights were announced the people thought that sticking to the Rocksteady game was the sensible thing to do, so yeah, maybe it was considered relevant at some point but that hype died long before release.
>woke game flops
many such cases
>best game in recent history that is justice league themed is a fricking porn game starring lex luthor mindbreaking herones
where the frick did WB go so fricking wrong?
This shit blows so hard compared to Rogue Like, it's not even funny. Even DC porn games lose to Marvel.
rogue like also blows, but not because of idea or gameplay or art or anything, it just adds a billion different things you can do and never fully finishes a single route.
Still prefer it over SU with every scene being traced porn and Lex being a Black person for some reason.
>Lex being a Black person for some reason.
hes greek anon.
not everyone who isnt 100% white is a Black person.
I am aware but I've played the game and he's drawn VERY dark in a lot of scenes.
i cant get into roguelike.
theres like no story what so ever and within 5 minutes you can get into the pants of every girl.
i dont get the appeal.

R/gamingcirclejerk is making fun of the chuds who hate this game for being "woke"
>It was supposed to be Rocksteady's redemption arc...
But it wasn't. There was a plethora of red flags a year ahead of release and the leadership + core devs abandoned ship. People who bought it are just morons who can't think for themselves.
Not to mention that when this game showed back in 2021 or whatever everything is literally the same stuff that we see in the released game. I get that there's probably plenty of content they hadn't finished still, but how on Earth would it take them 3+ years to finish the release if it already looked practically like it was a ready-to-release game so long ago? I think they had bad tests that informed them that this was a 6/10 game, delayed it with some experiments to add different gameplay into it to give it substance; more negative test results, another delay, and then the founders just quit knowing that this game was going to be their undoing.
