LMAO
That's just because he always comes back. Its capeshit, remember?
So fricking what? When a husband has a car accident but doesn't get killed by it, his wife still gets (usually) quite fricked up by it. Meanwhile Superman gets "killed" and his wife has literally nothing to say on the matter.
Guess it was time to make the 24th thread of the day about a game that Ganker claims nobody is playing
Isn't it a looter shooter?
The plot barely matters in those but I don't see anyone talking about the mechanics and stuff
Just 600 plot threads
Oh yeah, let's have 600 threads talking about the "gameplay". There's nothing to talk about, it's a garbage live service looter shooter with awful gameplay and shit UI, same as every other product like it.
The main reason why is you can't really get a feel of the game from watching a YouTube compilation of the story. People who have played the game mostly agree that it plays well but has boring annoying missions.
that's kind of the big weakness of a lot of these live service games, for some reason none of the devs who make these games can make good missions, it's usually some generic easily repeatable shit that works in any context that they try to pass off as missions with a few exceptions
for example there's one mission where you've just captured batman in this pokeball thing and you're supposed to bring him back to lex, during this mission there's this bar that slowly gets lower which I assume means that batman eventually frees himself but you can stop the bar from getting lower by passing him off to another team member
problem is during all this there's no stakes, you're not under attack and carrying batman doesn't slow you down so you just toss batman in this pokeball back and forth and then the mission ends
I could see a mission like that being interesting where you capture batman and maybe superman hunts down whoever's carrying him at the time but no, there's no threat at all
I'll be 100% honest, I didn't even notice the bar until I was already walking into Lex's lab. I thought it would be neat where Supes and Wonder Woman are fighting if they, even scripted, crashed on the road making you having to take an alternative route and whatnot but instead it was the same recycled mission from two hours earlier.
Overall I actually enjoy the gameplay and I don't even mind the story even though it's obviously way more "comic book" than normies want. The boss battles so far have been typical Rocksteady, they were weak in the Arkham games as well but people won't admit it.
But about halfway through I just stopped doing all side quests and focused only on the story and I'm now right before the final encounter because it's just so repetitive. Doesn't seem to really matter at this moment if you do those quests or not.
>I'll be 100% honest, I didn't even notice the bar until I was already walking into Lex's lab.

Yea I agree, this stuff was cool because the context was cool, plus you were escorting waller rather than just some random.
The side missions really turned to shit because they throw in the most annoying modifiers like 'enemies are only vulnerable when they're afflicted' or some shit and all you get for doing those kinds of missions is gear and more of the same mechanics that really should have just made themselves available the very first time you unlocked the mechanic
Yeah and Morbius was a big hit because of the memes.
Back to red it with you homosexual.
A seething hatred for your job maybe? This game screams, "I'm suffering in this office, please! Somebody save me!". It just has that hostage-like energy.
I think it probably started out as their plan to make a multiverse game, corporate got involved and demanded suicide squad, then demanded gaas, etc etc.
You probably won't be surprised to learn the companies (Rocksteady) founders left, started a new studio, and have been poaching veteran staff from Rocksteady for at least the past year or two. Like they literally fricked off and waited for their non-compete to wear off before starting over. It's pretty clear they abandoned ship when they lost control to the homosexual financius goblins making stupid demands and once they left it was just yes men, new hires, and a few veteran staff held hostage in a company they could no longer steer.
Yeah, I know all of that. At this point I'm just speculating about what is actually going down on slack between devs. Bet there are some wild conversations out there.
what is that new company? i wanna see what the actual people with talent that did the batman games are up to
Hundred Star Games
They were created last year,m so there's nothing to say about them yet.
Didn't the same thing happen with Bethesda and Obsidian? At least sort of, I know Todd is still around and stuff.
Beth operates a bit differently, they try to buy up studios by not accpeting milestones and withholding payments until the studio sells itself to them. Obsidian got barely away, Arkane got bought up, and Human Head refused to give in and it drove them into bankruptcy.
I'd much rather see Harley shot to death https://youtu.be/NqoBUzGmjD0?t=151
there are in-game cutscenes for the PS2 that are better animated than this what the frick
Honestly, I have no idea why it wasn't "Suicide Sqaud Kills the Justice Lords" or fricking any of the evil justice league variants. I mean frick cape shit in general, but this shit just felt like corporate mandated edge.
Edge sells really well. Look at Invincible and The Boys
I refuse to believe the boys had actual fans before the Amazon show. I just can't imagine anyone actually enjoying that comic.
I can't believe how little media literacy Boys fans have
What does that even mean?
The ability to understand the message of a story and what the author was attempting to get across.
If you watch the boys and come out of it with "lmao the heroes are bad asses and Homelander is cool and I wanna be like him" then you have no media literacy
Oh, I've never seen the show. I read about 5 or 6 comics and gave up because it was super gay. What is the message? That garth ennis is a talentless hack?
The message is that corpo bad, american interventionism bad, celebrities bad, vigilantism bad, advertisement bad etc etc
It's nothing groundbreaking and has been done better in almost any story with the same message
The term media literacy in the context of "you didn't get the message" is only used by leftist homosexuals claiming you can only dislike a show if you don't agree with it's message and you must support the not-hitler of the show
>lmao the heroes are bad asses and Homelander is cool and I wanna be like him" then you have no media literacy
This has nothing to do with media literacy. People know Homelander is the bad guy, they don’t care because he’s the most entertaining character on the show.
>they don’t care because he’s the most entertaining character on the show.
This. It's the same principle with shit like music. People hardly give a shit about the words if it carries a good beat, just like with Nirvana.
Ahh I see. So you demand that people emasculate themselves at the behest of pozzed woketards? By the way, that is not what media literacy even is. You are supposed to be able to parse a message. The decisions whether or not to accept such a message fall outside of the scope of that term. You are basically having a tantrum that people have decided that it's gay. Do better.
I don't think anyone reads any western comic any more. Manga has crushed the industry. I used to visit a comic shop to buy Magic the Gathering cards and they had a sign up advertising a promotion where they would give anyone a free (western) comic book in exchange for manga. It was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen a store try to do. Almost every similar shop I know nearby has pivoted away from comics and towards board games and manga.
I started getting into a french comic recently about a guy who hunts cryptids at the behest of some shadowy old man. They could have done 100 of them and slow dripped the whole secret behind why and I would've loved it. Instead they went away from the cryptid hunting and went whole hog on the ulterior motives and ended up getting canceled after 2 years. What
says seems to be true. People just don't know how to write compelling stories anymore.
As someone who writes for a hobby, I think writing is not easy at all.
I read all the shit that comes out in the 20s today and then I go back and read shit that was written decades ago and the difference is night and day.
On one hand I feel compelled to write because the majority of writers today are not talented at all like myself, but then I realize there's a lot of room to improve, and always better ways to word things.
Structuring a story is not as easy as one might think. The underlying variables of writing are not obvious. You have to learn for good while before you make a book that's at least half-way decent.
It really doesn't help a lot of modern shit is either too rushed or has too much nonsense.
it's almost like to have to spent your life becoming a master at a craft. there is a reason the best stories come from books.
It had a small base, IIRC Simon Pegg liked the series which is why he (now older) became the character that was drawn like hims' father in the TV show.
Ennis was/is for edgelords which had a markte in comics.
To be fair the first season was amazingly well written. It had massive potential.By the second episode of the second season it fell off a cliff. By season 3 it was fricking cringe.
The cracks were already there.
Things like wanting to "subvert" capeshit but also play it straight with starlight.
True, but there's a flavor to their edge. Antony Starr just kills it as Homelander and I don't even give two shits about The Boys, and Invincible is the product of a guy who understands comics well enough to know what you should subvert and what you shouldn't.
This just feels like they wanted to rip off Injustice without understanding what made the edge on THAT any good.
You shouldn't subvert at all. It's old, tired, and boring.
Homelander is a garbage character regardless of who plays him.
None of this "subversion" shit is good. The Boys is shit. Invincible is shit. Injustice is shit. The game is shit. They are all shit, and they are shit because they borrow water from the same septic well. The first (and apparently in many cases, last) pitfall of the budding writer is this yearning to do something new and exciting, yet not knowing what that truly means because you haven't actually cut your teeth writing the good stuff yet. You don't know why those first fundamental stories appealed to anyone. You haven't done anything like that yourself, there are understandings and sensations you're totally ignorant to. You did not produce anything that educated, talented people might agree is "good." You lack the basics. Yet here you are, being paid by evil people to tear town better things written by superior men because you are, above all else and with little extra, just a tool for them to erode a culture and replace it with mud. A soft genocide. And they're doing it through comic books (not that they won't get to the other stuff in time) so that anyone who points out these babysteps is derided as "just crazy" or "why care about something so unimportant?" as if culture exists in little isolated vacuums.
It's the only logical conclusion. If these people were hired based off some perception of merit, and they put out this "subversive" shit, they would be recognized as amateurs and fired immediately. Malice is the only logical conclusion left.
Damn I wish to be moronic to enjoy basic good vs bad narratives too
>being subversive makes me smert
spoken like a true midwit.
Both of these are order
Also, stop being so ironic
implying the reasons why these shows are bad has anything to do with that. they would be trash even if they were about good vs bad

Frick off homosexual. True heroism is done ideal heroes murdering evil without question and no need for convoluted inanity.
Except they did though? Sauron dies, and Saruman is killed too.
I have no clue how you could look at LoTR and think that "true heroism" isn't shown. Also, Orcs are murdered without question and the very idea of negotiating with evil is dismissed instantly by the characters. Evil corrupts, destroys and cruelly dominates, Evil in Tolkien's world is afraid of losing power and is borderline cowardly. I don't believe for a second you even know what the story is about or what the axioms of Tolkien's universe are
Anon, are you really surprised that an evil person would attempt to distort and twist a story about good overcoming evil into some muddied mess?
Exactly
Black person the whole point of TLOTR was that to beat evil doesn't just take one person because evil is stronger. It takes everyone coming together for a collective understanding of right and wrong and a desire to do good and help the fellow man. You can't just say something is subversive by stramanning what a standard story is.
You people are fricked up in the head
Argue against him dumbass. I'd rather be a nazi chud than a loony troon anyway.
Screencapworthy
>The game is shit

but wasn't the whole point of the morally grey characters like the lannisters that if you're a backstabbing betrayalmonger the second things look rough you're going to have everyone under you jump ship because nobody is loyal to you.
To put it another way being evil morons bites you in the ass super hard
>muh good and evil
nice fricking try moron. those words mean "things I like" (whites, imperialism, conquest) and "things I don't like" (e.g. the poor, minorities, non-whites)
moron
He's technically not wrong. Concepts like good and evil are just whatever values/virtues/traits/etc. that are considered okay by the societal construct that you're part of.
Let's take a straight forward example of this : marrying a 14 year old girl. In western societies that's considered wrong, that whoever does this is some kind of pedophile. In the middle east, they just consider this business as usual.
>he’s technically not wrong, we’re all just meatballs on a rock floating through space and shit and uh yeah so there are no concepts like good and evil people
>for instance, in white western societies child marriage is considered wrong but in brown societies it isn’t!
Uh… I don’t think you were making the point you wanted to.
>there are no concepts like good and evil people
There aren't. "Evil people" are the people that do the things the society you're part of brands as evil.
Good and evil, for every society in the world, are just what a bunch of people from a long time ago got together and decided on as being good or evil. These things vary from culture to culture because guess what, global exchange of information then wasn't exactly at the same pace we have now.
Hell, morality for the most part even changes with the times. Three hundred years ago a woman showing ankles was considered degeneracy in western society. Now? Not so much.
im too tired to respons to these threads any more youre young and moronic so for the love of all that is morally grey please just shut the frick up
I accept your concession.
k
>dude no you don’t get it, the society of child rapist cannibals who commit mass blood sacrifices to their corn god will view what they’re doing as good
>thus good and evil cannot exist! it’s all subjective!
So, good and evil don’t exist because evil societies exist/existed…
>information didn’t spread!
You don’t have to be the exact same culture in order to be good. If your culture shuns cannibals and likes bread, they are as good as a culture that shuns cannibals and likes fruit.
Also the bit about ankles; you should stop getting pop history facts from reddit posts. Take into account the historical context of how people dressed, and also realize that the West as a whole did not even bother with that, so…
>So, good and evil don’t exist because evil societies exist/existed…
Do these evil societies go around calling themselves evil? Who called them evil societies? You with your society? Sounds like you're applying what your tribe considers good and evil to ones that aren't of your tribe.
Shit son, Mayans were ripping out hearts by the thousands, and they straight up believed it as reverence to the gods.
shut the frick up moron go do your homework instead of teaching your ignorance and baiting knowledge by sayign moronic shit go do some real philosophal think for some years instead of yapping
How about you do your homework.
Good and evil aren't some ironclad immutable shit. It varies from society to society, time to time, and even varies based on circumstances.
Killing someone by shooting them is considered bad. Killing someone labelled as an enemy combatant in a military campaign? Well that's just you being a good patriotic soldier.
Shit, if we're to subscribe to your asinine beliefs on good and evil then a metric frickton of soldiers that go on a tour of duty should be thrown away in jail.
Dude, we get it. You’re a “nice guy” who wants to be as inoffensive as possible.
>wellll if you flip it around and turn it at a 90 degree angle, I guess I could see how the rapist cannibal blood sacrificers could be seen as good and virtuous!
It’s okay, man. You can recognize evil.
Anon, you only see rape and caniballism and blood sacrifices as bad because thousands of years ago the people in your backwater neck of the woods decided that those things are bad. That's all morality is. The fact that you can't even disprove this and just keep repeating the same non-argument worded differently doesn't really do a good job of convincing anyone of some kind of universal standard of good and evil.
My people did not come from a place with a lot of woods, and we received objective morality from God. This goes without saying, but I take it you are an atheist…
Nah. Haven't really gone and renounced my religion. But I do what Jesus said with the whole thing about "don't pray as the pharisees pray etc. etc." so I don't really go around biblethumping on the internet.
>biblethumping
Which why I avoided bringing up God until now.
>haven’t really gone and renounced my religion
So, do you think objective morality (God) exists?
No, because God himself isn't objectively moral.
What kind of God wishes for his people to be freed but at the same time outright tells Moses "you'll have to beg to be freed 10 times because I'm going to make the Pharaoh say no". What God gets mad that Noah's son covered him up after seeing him drunk and buck ass naked? What kind of messed up games is he playing to have the strength of his champion be determined by whether or not he's gone bald?
’t really gone and renounced my religion btw
I haven't, because there's values within the religion that I like and uphold. Just because I can see the parts where it's fricked up doesn't mean I should abandon it. It's the same thing with living in America. Just because x group of people or y political party does things that I hate that doesn't mean I should go and renounce my citizenship and move.
What denomination were you?
Roman Catholic
Thing is, a sizeable amount of his unethical actions aren't mysterious at all. And in fact are all too human. The thing with Moses, which no one bothered to answer, was out of spite. He made the Pharaoh deny the request to be freed in order to punish the Egyptians with plague upon plague. He let the devil kill Job's crops, servants, and offspring to win a bet about Job's faith in God. He ordered that Isaac be sacrificed to measure just how faithful Abraham is to God.
>Thing is, a sizeable amount of his unethical actions aren't mysterious at all. And in fact are all too human.
That's because your human mind is incapable of conceiving anything beyond that. You couldn't understand God's reasons anymore than an inanimate object can parse human reasoning.
Except, again, they were made very plain and clear. There's no mystery to them at all.
Anything plan or reason God would give is inevitably truncated to be understood by the human brain. The words you even use like "plan" don't even scratch the surface. Like God doesn't have a plan, because he literally has already done everything. Like anything you know about God is limited by what you're capable of parsing. There's an infinite amound lost in translation.
I didn't use the word plan until you did with
>It's why "God works in mysterious ways" and "God's plan" are often used when trying to explain his seemingly unethical actions.
Blasphemous as this is to say, God isn't some infallible being. The fact that he had to reboot humanity twice (once in a literal sense with the flood and again in a spiritual sense through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ) just shows how all too flawed he is.
It's doesn't even matter if you used plan. Any word you used like "work" doesn't actually describe what he does or is doing or will do. Any manner if which you describe God is based a linear perception of time. And God is literally infailable. Like reboot humanity. He literally cannot reboot. He can't start over. He is in the past, present,future and like everythig inbetween at the same time. What you call a reboot isn't actually what happened it's just a poor attempt by your brain to understand anything.
That would still make it moral, as God is the ultimate judge of it. Stupid or not, God is only "good" and has no sin, so God cannot be anything but moral
And this anon is right by the way. Any humam definition of morality fails, or is neccesarily confined to or by context. True morality, humans are incapable of actualizing it.
God cannot be anything but objectively moral if he created the very concept and is the arbiter of it. In this case, all morality would be derided from God. It's why "God works in mysterious ways" and "God's plan" are often used when trying to explain his seemingly unethical actions
>doooood just let me sacrifice thousands of people on my pyramids and bathe in their blood okay?? here, why don’t you let me pour some blood on this food that I brought you!
So because stinky Mayans were doing evil acts for their evil gods, morality doesn’t exist? Because they didn’t label themselves as the “evil stinky Mayan group”…
>child rapist
Mentally ill headcanon. The average age of marriage of the Aztecs was well above most contemporaries, and they were literal hyper-right wing that would gut degenerates and drag their entrails over hot coals.
>OH MY HECKIN SCIENCE, THE AZTECS DIDN'T LE HECKIN OPTIMIZE FOR INFINITY BROWN BIOMASS NEVER FORGET THE SIX GORILLION SWARTHOIDS SACRIFICED
>blah blah blah blah blah
>bro uhhh it’s based right wing trad-
Sorry Pablx, but your human sacrifices and blood covered feasts will stop.
And that's why the latinx became civilized men after the Spaniards colonized them. Oh wait no lmao, they kill more people than the Aztecs ever did and now they've devolved into a brown horde desperately trying to barge into every other country, wow I wonder why the Aztecs thought that culling them enmass was the most optimal solution
here's the truth. People who wrote old, good stories had real life experience, real struggles and real things to put into their work.
Modern writers are by large sheltered lefties who never had to do real work, to make their own bread, to chop their own wood or to build their own houses. Their own experience is reading stories made by these older people. So their writing is just a corruption of old, experience of their betters interpreted through prism of a manchild.
To be a interesting writer one has to be a interesting person.
I would build my own house if the state didn't threaten to tear it down because I don't own the land.
Hell, even building a Tiny Home on wheels would be acceptable to me, but in the modern world a man can have only so much without the wealth to get it.
Younger generations are fricking screwed with the way things are going. And for what?
Why not both?
>Invincible
It gets a pass because it was one of the first comics to try out the "Superman But Evil" idea and it also took itself seriously rather than purely rely on edginess.
>The Boys
Fricking no one liked this comic. The Amazon show is more widely and fondly known because it was Ennis at his absolute worst. Even Crossed was better, though not by much.
Wait the Crosses author and The Boys author is the same guy?
Jesus Christ, Crossed was so fricking dogshit for most of it, I struggle to believe The Boys is actually worse, especially when the show is entertaining enough.
How is Invincible even remotely subversive? Omni-Man literally regrets his actions at the end, "oh my heckin fauci the character whose life was spent training under a militaristic empire isn't immediately good what a heckin subversive piece of garbage", yeah my favorite subversive deconstruction is uhhh Vegeta and Edmund from Narnia
I'm reminded of the people b***hing about FOTM SoL anime that used fricking Shikimori as an example of le FOTM girl as if she wasn't entirely supplanted by Spy X Family
It really seems like western corporate developers are required to put something they know their audience will hate in every game.
Well, yeah, demoralization works like that
Just white women things.
It should have been Braniac stealing their powers and the final battle being Braniac using all of their powers at once plus giant tentacles ans goons popping up instead of a rehash of an early boss fight.
What did you expect a bunch of street level jobbers to do, wield some kind of cosmic power and fist fight superman to death? The only thing they know how to do is shoot guns and commit petty misdemeanors
>What did you expect a bunch of street level jobbers to do

I'm not buying kill the justice leage but im buying that out of curiosity.
The only solution is to not make the Justice League so powerful in the first place.
No, the solution is not to make this stupid game to begin with
>What did you expect a bunch of street level jobbers to do,
Die, or work with actual competent heroes to save the day, or grab Batman's plans and execute them, or somehow rescue Batman with the help of Robin/etc and then Batman manages them to save the rest.
Instead we kill them off and don't even consider saving them in any way.
Batman killed Robin though.
Are you that bored that you have to reply with bait?
I'm just sayin, that's what happened in the game, and shit anon's saying unfortunately is covered by it or over.
Anon even said "grab Batman's plans and execute them" even though they already killed half the league by the point that they went to his secret metropolis batcave, and Batman's plan for Flash was the exact same anti speedforce gizmo that Toyman fixed up.
> that's what happened in the game
We fricking know what happened in the game, the point was that they could have made it work while still believable by doing the listed things instead of their moronic shit.
>We fricking know what happened in the game
Considering OP says that you kill Wonder Woman with guns, I'd wager it more being 50/50 on who knows what they're talking about in this thread. Maybe 65/35.
They're thinking that heroes are bad because they're collectivists and they spurn individual power and responsibility. They are thinking that anyone powerful is an oppressor who got powerful by oppression.
The "Suicide Squad" is a very thinly veiled metaphor for trans and LGBTBBQ homosexuals and the game is a metaphor for how all collectivists secretly attain power, demonization of anything aspirational, and eventually murder.
Shut the frick up for once you dumb headcase
Keep speaking for once you breathtaking visionary
they hated him because he told the truth
>The "Suicide Squad" is a very thinly veiled metaphor for trans and LGBTBBQ
So rent free that there's no way you're not a troony yourself.
The problem isn't the concept, the problem is the execution. Why would I feel rewarded for controlling a bunch of D-list villains who spout off Reddit quips every other sentence, and have them take out established characters who are actually better and more interesting? Do I feel good when moron Harley Quinn is a smug c**t and shoots the hero of the last four Arkham games that I invested 100s of hours in? No, I fricking don't.
>superman
>the most OP Black person in the universe

Yeah, they fight him with kryptonite bullets and kryptonite strapped to their bodies
>>the most OP Black person in the universe
Only when he's in one of his asspull deus ex machina states. I despise Flash dickriders, but he has literally outrun the concept of death and is capable of tapping into deus ex machinaforce at will.
I liked that animated suicide squad movie they made a few years ago. Why didn't rocksteady just do that?
I still can't believe they managed to turn one of the wackiest DC character into a boring-ass "shoot gun" mercenary.
Yeah, it's really pointless that they used the Suicide Squad and yet everyone just shoots guns. If they were really insistent on that shit the roster might as well just have been Deadshot, Bloodsport, Peacemaker, and King Faraday.

And I'm suddenly just not caring
>You don't kill aquaman or martian manhunter/cyborg at all
They didn't even try
>You kill Wonder Woman by shooting her to death
I don't get why people who haven't even read the leaks want to post about a game so badly.
Nobody is taking about playing it and yet we have constant threads
I found super stupid the fact that every character use guns. It should be a hero shooter with each character having a specialized arsenal. The final product makes no sense.
There's still no good explanation as to why Wonder Woman didn't just use the lasso of truth to solve everything.
>israelite investors + troony devs = bad game
kek
he was right, and everybody knows it
zAhhhhhhhhhhh i’m gonna laser youuuu ahhhhhh *dies*
I like these threads because they give me an excuse to talk DC away from that shit board Ganker. The game is crap, and misses the entire point/appeal of these characters. Even under the game's own flawed premise, Waller doesn't recruit the people needed for a job like this.
Also I should mention King Shark and Captain Boomerang should NOT be in Arkham Asylum in the first place. Neither are crazy, nor are they Gotham residents. Arkham was only used because of branding for this now dead universe.
>everyone looks great
>except cheeta and manta who both decided being able to see was overrated
Who is the guy between parasite and grodd?
This game could have been believable if batman was the one not brainwashed and assisted somehow the SS with plans on HOW TO KILL THE LEAGUE
You asking about Toyman?
That's the Blue Badger.
>You kill Superman by shooting him to death
Wait a minute. How does that work? I thought he was immune to bullets
Admittedly if you shot him with a green kryptonite bullet it would severely wound or even kill him if left inside his body long enough. In the game however the Squad just.....straps a bunch of gold kryptonite to their bodies and fight him like normal. This is stupid for several reasons, but I'll break it down to just two
>Gold Kryptonite permanently removes Clark's powers and makes him normal, which is why its ONE OF THE RAREST FORMS OF THE MINERAL FOR A REASON. Yet the squad is covered in it....
>Point two: all kryptonite is radioactive, meaning all of them probably have cancer at the very least now
>all of them probably have cancer at the very least
At least the story has a happy ending.
Wait. Wait. Wait.
You mean this entire fricking time, Batman could've just fought Superman with a suit made of Kryptonite and defeated him?! What the hell doesn't Lex just do this from the start?
And why can't Superman just use his super vision and smash them into pieces since he's as fast as The Flash? Or just laser them from a mile away? He's evil. Just drop a damn building on them.
When he fights Bruce, he always holds back since he doesn't want to hurt them. But if you're evil, who gives a shit? Not to mention, Batman can just launch a drone to do all the work for him.
These guys really needed to hire a writing consultant, not a PR firm, to gloss over the game.
>You mean this entire fricking time, Batman could've just fought Superman with a suit made of Kryptonite and defeated him?! What the hell doesn't Lex just do this from the start?
No, because even the most common form of Kryptonite (green) is incredibly rare. Only small meteorites occasionally fall into Earth's atmosphere because they're radioactive debris from Krypton gradually making their way to our planet, following Clark's escape pod path of travel.
>And why can't Superman just use his super vision and smash them into pieces since he's as fast as The Flash? Or just laser them from a mile away? He's evil. Just drop a damn building on them.
A) He's NOT as fast as The Flash, B) the moment he gets near it it starts killing him given his metabolic speed and proximity, and C) Heat vision only works from so far away.
In the terms of this game, again, it's absurd to wear any form of kryptonite given how scarce it is and again they're definitely all getting cancer
You can't think about DC heroes anon. The minute you think about capeshit it stops making sense. If Superman were smart enough to simply hawk superspeed loogies at people, there would be no way to stop him. Superman could literally just blow his nose really hard at anyone with kryptonite and it would be over, or nuke them from the sun, or even fricking throw rocks. Flash is so fast that there is no threat to him, Batman can literally bullshit his way through anything, Wonder Woman is on Superman's level and has almost no weaknesses, Shazam is just Superman without sun bullshit + magic, Cyborg is literally hacks, etc. Every main DC hero is completely overpowered if they're given the power to use their brain for more than one comic panel.
Anon just admit you don't read comics or know what the frick you're talking about. You have about as much knowledge as the hacks who made this shit game. My god everything you've said reeks of casual
Don't give me that bullshit anon. You know as well as I do that plot induced stupidity is the name of the game the vast majority of the time. You think Deathstroke fighting Superman without kryptonite makes any sense whatsoever? You think anyone fighting ANY dc hero with super speed when they themselves don't have it makes any sense? Can you sincerely deny anything I've said? This goes especially for Superman and Batman who both simultaneously have the power to take down the rest of the League, yet are also about as strong as any one member in the league at the same time. Comics will never not be chock full of plot induced stupidity, and the few good ones don't make up for that fact.
>Can you sincerely deny anything I've said?
Yes, nearly every fricking thing you've said in that moronic post to the point where I don't even know where to begin.
>Flash is so fast that there is no threat to him
Anon, The Rogues are specifically designed to take him down. Read a damn book for frick sake.
There is nothing you can do against that level of speed anon. Except write it poorly or be as fast as him. Even a trap can't work on someone who can fricking see attoseconds. Nah anon. I'm not going to call you stupid, because I think you know these things on some level. You just overlook them because you enjoy said comics regardless, and that's fine.
>attoseconds
Way to confirm you get your info from fricking memes, moron. Again, The Rogues have tech that specifically counter his speed. I bet you're dumb enough to think Barry can easily reach the speed to travel through time too.
There's a lot of dumb shit in comics, especially inconsistencies. However most if not all of the shit you've brought up is basic b***h shit.
The Rogues have killed Speedsters before. Don't confuse their mutual agreement as weakness. They don't kill Flash because that leads to escalation and the League coming down on them. Yes, Cold's gun IS enough to frick with The Flash.
>Nooo, that canon doesn't count, o-only the canon I like counts!
Okay
>NOOOO!!! SHUT UP!!! STOP BRINGING UP ACTUAL ARGUMENTS!!!
Come the frick on. For the record, I didn't even refute the inconsistent bullshit that occurs in comics. That was never in question. I'm just pointing out the nonsense of "Oh nothing can hurt The Flash" as being factually wrong. The Rogues are OP as hell, and their tech directly impedes what Barry does.
You're actually using Flashpoint as a positive? Not a great look. Also Barry didn't "Fix" anything, he made a less shit timeline, which Wally called him out for I might add.
>You're actually using Flashpoint as a positive
No, I'm saying that the whole "Flash can't time travel without the cosmic treadmill" has been undone by DC through Flashpoint/New 52. You can acknowledge a thing existing without agreeing or even liking said thing.
>I'm saying that the whole "Flash can't time travel without the cosmic treadmill" has been undone by DC through Flashpoint/New 52.
Barry time traveling in general takes a lot of energy, and not easily done. The Cosmic Treadmill acts as a targeting system because without it, he's basically throwing a dart randomly at a board and won't end up where he wants to.
Cold Field, son
>throws a rock at superspeed
>phases through the ground
>blows the field away by waving his arms like spaz
>shocks cold into deactivating the shield by mooning him
>defeats the baddie before the field is ever activated
Hell all those aside he could just yell "SUPERMAN!" lol
>throws a rock at superspeed
Cold Field stops atoms in their tracks. That shit is how Captain Cold walks down the street not worrying about getting shot.
That's dumb as frick but I believe it. Phasing through the ground still works though. I still don't understand why there aren't more comics where the main character just gives up and yells "Superman!" or something. They could yell Supergirl but she's never around when anyone needs her.
Actually depending on who you are, Clark DOES hear you from across the planet. Superman has to filter out nearly everything to avoid going insane from sensory overload. However, to friends and loved ones, he's trained himself to subtly listen in on specific keywords and heartbeats.
Two examples:
>That time Green Arrow was on a boat, miles away from medical attention while someone (I think it was his son?) was bleeding out. He shouted "CLARK!" repeatedly until Kent finally heard him and flew the wounded to the hospital
>That time Pa Kent died from a heart attack, and Clark flew from the North Pole to the Kent Farm in an instant
That also depends on the writer. Superman has a super brain, so sensory overload is only a problem if the writer says so, or forgot he had a super brain.
If you're referring to speed reading, it's temporary for both him and Flash. It's kinda like in real life when you're skimming over text and not fully retaining it
It's whatever the writer says it is. Even if you can turn it off and on, that gives villains almost no room to really do anything.
>tfw Superman can hear you jerking off at night
>I still don't understand why there aren't more comics where the main character just gives up and yells "Superman!" or something
Because there isn't a zero percent chance where Superman might not be doing something equally important like spotwelding a breaking dam or punching a meteor on a collision course with the planet. Hell, the last time I saw anyone do the whole "yell for Superman" thing was in 2008 with Ollie calling out because he's stuck in the middle of the ocean and his son was dying in front of his eyes.
Did it work? This page makes it look like it did. yes there's a chance Superman is off doing something useful because that's what he does. Meanwhile Supergirl is off doing something gay like dating brainiac or finding herself, or being mad about something stupid. Fricking hate her.
You just look at pretty pictures and not read then? It explicitly says Superman goes and filters the stuff he hears to know where he NEEDS to be.
>Did it work? This page makes it look like it did
Sure. After calling out for him six times, each with increasing volume and stress from Ollie to make it very clear to Clark that shit has absolutely hit the fan for him and he needs help.
I just wanted confirmation anon, no need to get your panties twisted because I find anyone standing a chance against Flash unbelievable. People do that on occasion. I don't read comics anymore but I have a soft spot for Superman, even if he's written like a dipstick half the time.
>I find anyone standing a chance against Flash unbelievable
I can't see how, Flash loses to banana peels.
They're kryptonian banana peels with a cold field.
Actually, it's an atomic powered banana peel.
Why couldn't the suicide squad defeat the justice league with whacky shit like this instead of just shooting them? It would actually make me want to play the game.
Because that would require good writers. Agenda driven writers are almost never good, and even when they are they're pushed to be bad by higher ups to suit the agenda.
The game's writers don't know comic books, anon. They have Brainiac, best known for shrinking and bottling citties, invading Metropolis to turn earth into his new homeworld, instead of bottling it up.
Anon there's nothing stopping at least two Justice League members from showing up and destroying the suicide squad. Superman by himself could wipe them out before they blink. In fact Green Lantern and Wonder Woman could do that too. It's understated but most of them have superspeed.
I don’t understand how the suicide squad is supposed to beat brainiac who is a metal computer not really susceptible to gun fire.
>a metal computer not really susceptible to gun fire.
Computers are pretty susceptible. You shoot up your graphics card and that's the end of that.
Joking aside, contrary to the STAS/JLU versions, Brainiac has more often been portrayed to be more of a cyborg than just a machine, and the arkhamverse version seems to lean to that side as well.
old comics are silly as frick, thanos has a fricking helicopter and shit, batman the dark knight ruined everything
In fairness, the Thanoscopter and him being arrested and hauled away by regular ass police is from a comic line specifically marketed toward children. That flash page with the banana peel has no such excuse.
>The Cosmic Treadmill acts as a targeting system because without it, he's basically throwing a dart randomly at a board and won't end up where he wants to
Which, again, is undone as of the end of Flashpoint, where he catches up to himself to stop himself from causing the events. He travelled to himself instead of over or undershooting, aka "random dart throw" to use your analogy of the treadmill.
>oh no, instead of going a billion mph I can only go a thousand
Rip Flash, it's over.
Anon if you can go at only mach 1 and others can't, you're unstoppable. It's over, that's it. Before you've even processed the idea of activating your bullshit you're tied up. I genuinely cannot believe that you're defending Flash. Catching a guy who can phase through anything, and has all the time in the world to see everything, is impossible. You are not this stupid anon.
>There's a lot of dumb shit in comics, especially inconsistencies. However most if not all of the shit you've brought up is basic b***h shit.
>Y-YOUR ONLY BRINGING YO BASIC SHIT UR WRONG MAN
your either a fricking moron for execusing shit laymen can pick out immediately or you have too much of a connection to this. find a new job
Pretty sure the only one they killed was Inertia who isn't as strong as the Flash, kind of a moron, and took all of them gangbanging him at once.
>Yes, Cold's gun IS enough to frick with The Flash.
Yeah when he's trying to stop him from robbing a bank not if he's bloodlusted.
Or if he's not moronic, but DC heroes are written like they have nothing between their ears unless they're Batman.
>I bet you're dumb enough to think Barry can easily reach the speed to travel through time too.
Not that anon but Barry running through time without the aid of a cosmic treadmill is how he undoes the events of flashpoint and reboots continuity into the New 52, so you can say that he's been powercrept to be able to pull it off.
>The Rogues have killed Speedsters before
They've only ever killed Inertia(Zoom's sidekick) because he was completely inexperienced, and before that Zoom was easily soloing all of them.
The Rogues aren't really a threat to the Flash, or at least they weren't when I read it. They have stuff to fight him like Cold's slow freezing aura but he doesn't go all out on them and in turn they don't involve innocents and their MO is just robbing banks and shit because they know if he went all out they'd lose.
The real threats to Flash are just other evil Flashes like Zoom/Professor Zoom.
And that Anon is right there's a ton of plot induced stupidity, Deathstroke being an obvious example, of people somehow getting the drop on the Flash when they really shouldn't
>Read a damn book for frick sake
Your shitty comics aren't books, they're not even close
Comic is short for Comic Book anon.
that's my problem when people start overanalyzing capeshit plus it ignores the fact that how strong a given character is heavily depends on who's writing the story
It's not over analysis. It's basic ass analysis. If I could move at 100mph and see things fast enough to process that information, then no human can stop me. DC heroes are way faster than that.
Except that's not really how Flash perceives the world. He has to cognitively connect to The Speed Force to do anything, and his level of perception varies. It's not like 24/7 slow mo for him. Also he's been shot point blank by a gun before because he was thinking an an accelerated rate, basically lost in his own head
How the Flash thinks is wildly inconsistent. Sometimes time will slow down for him as soon as the bullet touches his flesh and he goes into super speed mode other times it will hit him because he wasn't paying attention or whatever. It's plot stupidity
We're getting wildly off track. Point is, The Flash isn't invincible, and this game is shit. Comics are inconsistent bullshit, yeah, but there's some baseline of rules here for these characters.
A baseline that gets thrown out the window when someone without bullshit abilities shows up, and/or Batman.
Except when it conveniently automatically works for him right before the bullet hits so it only grazes him, and phases through the rest of him. If he were prepared this would never have happened, but he has to be written stupid for that sort of thing to work. This is why I can't do comics, but can do novels.
>What the hell doesn't Lex just do this from the start?
Yeah about that...
>Batman could've just fought Superman
gold kryptonite would have depowered him forever
>with a suit made of Kryptonite and defeated him?
most forms of kryptonite kill humans
>Point two: all kryptonite is radioactive, meaning all of them probably have cancer at the very least now
They don't call them the suicide squad for nothing
Guns are fun. A spear with kryptonite or bow and arrow with kryptonite attached is fun but nothing is funner than guns.
See the problem though is that Kryptonite isn't common enough to make an entire gun clip
>King Shark bites Batman's head off
>Harley: Rest in peace, old chum!
See Rocksteady? How fricking hard was that?
Could also make a shark repellant joke
The whole problem is having the Arkham Batman die at their hands without making it believable when compared to what we've seen him do in the previous games, and without giving his character the respect he was due. Batman should have sacrificed himself for the sake of victory (Like the chemical factory scene in Arkham Knight). If they had to have the Suicide Squad kill him, then make it clear that Batman is actively fighting the mind control and is trying to force a defeat, and don't have his last words be a joke while he dies as a mind controlled puppet. They didn't even have the courtesy to have Batman be himself in his final moments
How much better would it be if this game played like Hitman instead?
You mean dick around and do nothing? Not exactly in the vein of Deadshot
>Multiverse/alternate timeline "here's our UNIQUE take on yhe mythology shit"
Fricking gay. Just give me DC Ultimate Alliance
They turned Batman, the character we got to know intimately over multiple games, into a laughably evil characture of himself doing all the things the previous games drilled into our heads Batman simply doesn't do, that he'd rather die then ever do. That alone makes the game shit.
Admittedly it's Brainiac brainwashing but yeah no one wanted to kill these characters in the first place
>Admittedly it's Brainiac brainwashing
The problem is each of the actions by the Justice League would never be forgiven even if it brainwashing either by the populace or themselves. They literally destroy the Justice League permanently just to sell some Live Service game that at best will be flavor of the month then forgotten. They can't even use Batman, Flash, ect without doing a reboot
>They can't even use Batman, Flash, ect without doing a reboot
They can, just make DC games not affiliated with the Arkham universe just like that Wonder Woman game. All for the better I say.
>taking the continuity we spent decades developing and flushing it all down the toilet doesn't matter because we can just start over again whenever we want and if that doesn't work just flush it again never stop rebooting haha
You'd make a great WB exec
that's capeshit in a nutshell
I don't know how people take this shit seriously with all the recons, multiverse bullshit and time travel
if a story turns out shit someone will write a better one eventually with the same heroes from 60 years ago
big whoop
>I don't know how people take this shit seriously with all the recons, multiverse bullshit and time travel
I love how this whole thing started because people liked having some big superhero stories they could actually follow and how quickly it started to collapse under the weight of all the same bullshit that everyone was sick of in the first place.
I watched and generally liked most of the movies up to the first avengers, but seeing the post credits sequence with even bigger bad guy made me realize "oh, they're going to do this forever and I really don't feel like sticking around just to watch it slowly go downhill"
>flash
>game
Pick one. Although I did just think of a good one. Just make it like max payne but with flash. That's literally it. Doing superhero stuff with bullet time. Can rocksteady go back and make this game instead?
So?
He's a great detective, he has a backup plans for everything, including himself going bad.
Did anyone read the comic or watch Justice league cartoon? Where he takes down brainwashed justice league all by himself?
>he has a backup plans for everything
Will you shut up with this stupid overblown meme? The game is fricking trash, but so is this mindset that Batman is prepared for literally everything. He's not, even in his own book.
He's the world's greatest detective homosexual. That was his byline a generation before he became dark and edgy. Suck troony dicks if you must, but at least be honest about it.
>he has a backup plans for everything, including himself going bad.
Tower of Babel is an example of a comic book's premise getting wildly popular with casuals because the idea of it is shocking to them and they accept it as crucial to any depiction yet never stop to think if the story was actually moronic or not.
Also it's worth mentioning that a lot of Batman's failsafes don't work. Why? Because he's human, can't prepare for EVERYTHING, and has a habit of overlooking the obvious
Feels like the simple way he would have done it is get Zatanna on board and have his mind wiped of a failswitch inside his cowl. (She already wiped his mind before)
Moment he goes bonkers, Alfred and Oracle and push the failswitch.
Batman already has a subconscious mental failsafe, Zur-En-Arrh, and it makes him a complete psycho
It's a game designed around liberal white woman fallacies, you can't expect it's developers and audience to have more than surface level knowledge of how these heroes function in their original comic book lore
The story becomes even more stupid when you start thinking about ALL OF THE OTHER HEROES THAT EXIST not doing anything, or the fact that Waller apparently didn't call in every favor she had to other villains or at least create a think tank of geniuses to solve the Brainiac problem.
Fricking Doctor Sivana, a genius that even Lex respects, fights godlike beings such as Billy Batson. Call him!
Sivana is too based, they don't dare touch him.
This is shit even by capeshit standards.
Anons here act as if every kind of media isn't exactly just as prone to dogshit storytelling
people make the story seem like it's some kind of deconstruction of heroes when it's the most basic story of all time: the heroes got captured and corrupted by brainiac, no one can reverse it, not even lex luthor
here's batman having the most human moment you'll ever see of any hero in this game in his message to robin (who batman apparently killed before the SS got here)
>the heroes got captured and corrupted by brainiac, no one can reverse it, not even lex luthor
Which is bullshit. I dont' give a flying frick about the Suicide Squad, they are the bad guys. I WANT TO PLAY AS HE GOOD GUYS. I want to be Batman not some fricking shark furry. I can't ever be Batman again as they didn't just kill him, they destroyed everything he was and could ever be. It'll be a cold day in hell before they get a buck out of me.
No anon, you're going to play Harley Hag and her homosexual friends. Frick you.
there's a WW game in development despite the fact that she dies in this game
plus it's not like this game is breaking records so WB has 0 incentive to make another SS game or even keep this one alive
all those autists who cried about being sick of batman 10 years ago are the reason we're getting shit like this now
Anon DC pushes out way too much fricking Batman. The guy is cool and all but if I have to watch his parents die again I'll have an aneurism.
Because the Wonder Woman game isn't connected to this universe.
>all those autists who cried about being sick of batman 10 years ago are the reason we're getting shit like this now
Which is actually a valid complaint. This was not the answer obviously.
>all those autists who cried about being sick of batman 10 years ago are the reason we're getting shit like this now
most moronic take I've ever seen
>they are the bad guys
I FRICKING WISH
That's the thing I hate about Suicide Squad IN GENERAL. Writers are way too COWARD to make them into actual villains just doing "good" out of obligation, they're anti heroes at best. And forcing shitty humor only makes it worse. Suicide Squad was, is, and will always be stupid because the people writting these stories are gays. The same incompetent writers that think writing an "adult" story is just picking a story for teenagers and adding slurs and gore to it.
>I WANT TO PLAY AS HE GOOD GUYS
Not to repeat the tired old meme to death but why would you expect a game named "Suicide Squad : Kill the Justice League" to let you play as the Justice League?
the title implies there will be suicide and since you're killing the justice league that means you have to be playing as the justice league to have a nice day
The title implies you're playing as the titular Suicide Squad, which is the in-universe slang for the government program called Task Force X.
You sound immature.
>they destroyed everything he was and could ever be
This game looks absolutely horrible but believe me, if the Batman franchise can survive the rubber nipples it can survive anything.
undercut by none of the suicide squad giving even half a shit
Was this scene before or after Batman was killed?
Before.
Feels like a missed opportunity to not have this after they kill him, it would humanize him after his death, make it better as a final send off.
Yeah but this game is all about how they don't give a shit about the characters you've known for decades as heroes.
>Guy should have a monologue to the crew AFTER a crew brutally kills him
Uhhhhh
Do you know what happens to people when they're killed anon? They die...
That's a holographic recording anon.
I'm moron, sorry anon.
Yeah what the hell then, that's weird.
I thought this game was like a sequel to the Arkham series, why is Deadshot a black Black person jiggaboo?
The story they're going with is that the Deadshot in the other Arkham games was an imposter using this Deadshot's name who happened to have the exact same family situation, abilities, training, personalized weapons and animosity with Batman.
No wait never mind, it's that the one in the other games is from a parallel universe.
That's even dumber, somehow.
>Captain Boomerang
>shoots people to death
does he use guns instead of boomerangs or something?
This is why we need common sense gun control. People with mental health issues shouldn't own guns.
every character devolves into the same shit too
>do the same shit over and over again on every character, melee shield guys, shoot them when they in the air and then ult
it works great but it isn't fun and the UI flashing/colors and floating text, there's just too much info on the screen half the time
>insults most of them, except wonder woman and green lantern
im not gonna buy your game.
No they insult Green Lantern too. They strip him nude, and Deadshot considers him an Uncle Tom
>Deadshot considers him an Uncle Tom
>HOW MANY BIKES HAVE YOU STOLEN RECENTLY?... Exact! ZERO, you abandoned our culture!, you are trying to become one of them!
You kill batman by shooting him to death. Wonder Woman is somehow more disappointing.
Isn't Superman immune to bullets
Not kryptonite bullets, since that's the biggest mcguffin weakness he has.
Press S to spit.
This game is all so pointless as everyone will be brought back to life at the end of their live service shit.
>we want the american audience
um actually.. wonder woman was killed by superman. we can't have best girl get killed by bullets now can we?
>be American superhero
>get shot
>>You kill Wonder Woman by shooting her to death
That's not what happens though?
>We have Captain Boomerang in this game how should he play?
>I know let’s give him sniper rifles and SMGs
was there this much b***hing and moaning about how a given character should die when the DCUO trailer dropped?
nobody cared since that was a vision of a possible future and therefore the equivalent of a dream
The way they died here was cool though, and immediately undone. They were also all weakened, and Superman was beaten by his weakness.
I love how the goalpost moved from
>The flash getting killed by normal speed mooks definitely makes sense!
to
>w-well he can't time travel very well without the cosmic treadmill!
>The flash getting killed by normal speed mooks definitely makes sense.
There was never a goalpost move? The Rogues don't move fast to fight Flash, they just nerf him. Which is completely true. It only gets fricking stupid and outright bullshit when you cite the stuff like Deathstroke, which everyone calls out as nonsense.
This game honestly doesn't feel real.
The goyslop gameplay with million of effects and numbers all over the screen.
The insane plot that seems made to piss off people.
70 bucks
Good reviews on Steam despite everyone agreeing it's a bad game
This just feels like a fever dream
FORTY CAKES!
>You kill Wonder Woman by shooting her to death
wid my benis :DDD
I find this unintentionally funny in that anticlimactic, "wake up to reality" sort of way.
each kill needed more setup
them killing flash is dumb
them getting lucky, flash losing a leg for some insane reason and then getting gunned down feels fair
superman was perfectly set up with wonderwoman stabbing him but nope, he regenerates offscreen
The modern Amerimutts love guns so much they can't have any other idea of killing anymore
Wrong. They love monster trucks. They could drive a monster truck armored with krypotonite into Siperman and the mericans would pop-off.
Killing the Justice League with a bunch of mooks is honestly a dumb concept anyway. In fact Batman enacting any of his plans while also in the same room as any of the Justice League is also dumb since they literally all have superspeed.
None of Batman's babel protocols require being in the same room as any of the leaguers. In fact, the whole story arc in which they were introduced explicitly makes it clear that the plans were stolen.
I know that anon. Yet most of the time they have Batman "fight" Superman it's a direct confrontation, which is the absolute most monumentally stupid way to take on Superman there is.
What "most of the time" would this shit be? Outside of being aided by superdrugs that even out the playing field (Injustice), or Superman being a nigh brainless puppet (Hush) or anything along those lines, the only time Superman and Batman fought is because Superman challenged him. With that one it needed to be an up close and personal fight because Ronald Reagan needed Superman to make a spectacle out of it to show the world that Batman's kind of insubordination wouldn't be tolerated.
Superman and Batman have fought a billion times anon. It doesn't matter if they're "canon" or not since everything both is and isn't at this point until they reboot it again. As far as I know Batman has never actually won in canon, but I don't really care either way. That they're fighting at all is still stupid.
>Superman and Batman have fought a billion times anon.
They really haven't without macguffins like the ones I've mentioned.
>As far as I know Batman has never actually won in canon
>he doesn't know about the kryptonite gum
>kryptonite gum
Parrots gonna parrot.
>play as autistic zoomers that kill old ass boomer superheroes by simply shooting them to death
Honestly if the game didn't play like garbage, I'd say this is pretty based.
APOLOGIZE
For what?
>appolgize
As shit as suicide squad is its probably better than this.
I understand the appeal of the *base concept*, but there's two things I really don't understand
-Having it be set in the same continuity as the Arkham games; it both creates an incredibly unsatisfying conclusion to the narrative that doesn't follow from the rest of the games at all, and wastes the opportunity to see that version of Batman interacting with the other Justice League members
-Why the deaths are so *dull*; I see it being said that they're disrespectful, I think they could stand to be much, *much* more so; this is the kind of concept which would greatly benefit from a bit more wackiness to it, have the deaths of the Justice League members be silly and spectacular. Have fun with the concept, instead of this shit, y'know?
I don't get it. Do executives really think the only way to make money is to make a service-based shooter?
My main issue with all of this is it's done in cut scenes. If you're gonna be edgy and kill them off, why not go further?
>Press X to kill Batman
>Game doesn't progress until you do
That would REALLY make people seethe.
Arkham Trilogy are some of my favourite games (frick Origins) and I have literally zero interest in this game. Not even because of the death shit. Just the gameplay loop looks so fricking repetitive and boring.
>Had to sift through tons of posts from that comic anon who kept doubling down on how shit his take was
The gun is such a perfect weapon that 90% of capeshit inherently doesn't make sense even with a no-kill clause since every villian is going to use a gun.
A gun is more effective than Mr. Freezes ice rays. There is even no good reason why Clayface wouldn't carry an arsenal in his body.
Guns are not even close to a perfect weapon.
Give a single reason why you wouldn't use a gun. If you were Firefly, why waste the effort on fricking flamethrowers?
Because I am Firefly, not Gunfly.
Flamethrowers have better AOE and create lasting stage hazards.
>If you were Firefly, why waste the effort on fricking flamethrowers?
Because my whole gimmick is committing arson. Guns do poorly compared to flamethrowers for that.
Because I want to set things on fire.
This is why comic books are better when they don't hold themselves hostage to the specter of realism; you have to have a fundamental acceptance that these characters are operatic figures doing ridiculous things as a way of playing out their emotional dramas spectacularly. Trying to force it into a realistic mold just puts it into a halfway place that both invites questioning of the internal logic and loses the pathos it has going for it.
The only reason his dumbass question doesn't work is because he picked a themed villain with whom a gun doesn't work with their theme. Firefly's whole gimmick is being obsessed with burning things. A gun is hardly a good pick for that. It's like asking why doesn't Mad Hatter mind control people with a glock instead of his silly hats.
You think the greeks said stuff like "Why don't archers just shoot Herakles?" and complained about realism?
Nice N64 textures.
So is Brainiac brainwashing really irreversible or did Waller just decide to kill them given the opportunity and nobody bothered researching further? Not even the Japanese guy who made the Flash killing thing?
Had they not been asses to Flash at the start and not given him up, he could have reset things with gofast or something.
Wonder Woman was around and couldn't find a cure. So guess not.
Flash said under the power of the lasso of truth that there's no curing them of Brainiac's influence.
Wouldn't the lasso only compel him to speak HIS truth?
I mean, if Brainiac convinced them the mind control was permanent, Flash has no way of knowing it's not. He'd say it's irreversible only because that's what he believes.
>Wouldn't the lasso only compel him to speak HIS truth?
Assuming it works just like in the comic books, no. The lasso compels THE truth. There's a story arc a long time ago where the lasso was broken and that basically fricked up the universe because truth/facts weren't a thing anymore so fiction reigned.
So why would they ever need to use it on a villain or bad guy ever?
Just lasso one of the good guys like batman or superman for a minute, he'll tell you everything the bad guy knows and is planning and where he is and what he's capable of, then they go nab him up.
You still need to have knowledge of the subject matter. You can't, for example, compel me to tell you what something in swahili means because I know jack shit about swahili.
Did they explain how the Justice League together all jobbed to Brainiac after meeting him, then proceeded to actually undergo brainwashing without being interrupted?
And then 4 humans and a shark happen to kill him later with guns because he wanted to larp as Flash who they killed already because they had a magical speed force canceller that Brainiac should know about at that point.
>captain boomerang
>his whole gimmick is being really good at throwing boomerangs
>give him a machine gun
What were they thinking?
Bullets are just a smaller, faster boomerang that doesn't return.
So why is he even called captain boomerang anymore instead of captain machine gun?
Because he keeps holding on to one like a weirdo.
>Game called Suicide Squad
>Get mad that you kill Justice League
>Game called Suicide Squad
>Squad doesn't commit suicide
It's not canon, it's not even canon in Arkham, they used Arkham as a means to sell the game the way Back 4 Blood used "from the creators of L4D".
Why does anyone care lmao.
Superman's skin is supposed to be harder than steel how did that homie killed by bullets
libtard bullets that warp false realities
>what are HEAT bullets
fiction sadly
>You kill Wonder Woman by shooting her to death
Isn't she the only one who gets to die on her terms while being glazed
She's not immune to reality warping and the game is an entire fanfic, so it doesn't matter anyway.
batman is the only capeshit I care about
anything that has to do with a multiverse can go frick itself
>he doesn't know about Batman's multiverse
why are they all smiling?
Because they're going to fight some crime
This. For me it's just Batman, and sometimes Batman + Superman or some Justice League (only animated cartoon/movies).
Why did they even kill Batman, if he was mind controlled? Like what the frick, they didn't even kill him in action, just executed for no reason. Couldn't they put him in a cell or something? Didnt government know that he's a good guy actually?
Why is batman considered a meta-human? Everyone knows he's Bruce Wayne.
>Didnt government know that he's a good guy actually?
They knew that of the entire League.
In terms of Batman, they know he's a dangerous mind that is now working for an alien that wants to turn earth into what his home planet was with no way to reverse the brainwashing.
Also as of late the comics have shifted Amanda Waller's personality and mindset from "the good guys are powerful and have their heads up their asses with their morality, so we use crooks to do shit that needs doing" to "the good guys are frickups who will ruin humanity, only I can be trusted to have any power or authority".
there was a batman boss fight prior to that and they had to capture him alive for lex
then they used him as bait for superman who arrives right after he dies, which is kinda weird because I was expecting superman to swoop in and save batman
>Lois Lane calls Wonder Woman "the greatest superhero Metropolis has ever had"
>lois lane has a heartfelt goodbye message to batman in the post credits scene but not to fricking superman who is supposed to be her lover and all
yea this part made my head turn
when someone says metropolis people immediately think superman
Yeah, this feels far more outrageous than the Justice League dying in this game. It suggests a fundamental inability to understand and write these characters - characters intended to be easily accessible and understandable for 10 year old boys, mind you.
>It suggests a fundamental inability to understand and write these characters
Considering Brainiac's motives, it's clear that the writers here have never read any DC comics.
I'm not bothered by reinterpretation of concepts at all - in fact I think it's best to do that if you're working in a long-running franchise rather than banging the same drum to the point you go through the skin every time - but from everything I've seen, the depiction of Brainiac avoids any interesting angles on the basic concept and turns him into a fairly generic conqueror figure.
>the depiction of Brainiac avoids any interesting angles on the basic concept and turns him into a fairly generic conqueror figure
But that's the thing. Brainiac isn't a conqueror figure. He's a fricked up hoarder. Even Injustice got that right where instead of cities, Brainiac shrank down whole planets for his collection. This one? He wants to terraform earth into his home planet across the multiverse. That's it. No collecting, nothing.
There's an interview with some of the sweetbaby writers/consultants where they quite literally admit they procrastinate for like 6 hours and then work on their scripts/revisions for an hour right before the deadline. It's a fricking half-assed job by lazy millennials who probably went through college doing the same kind of shit because muh ADHD.
This consultant firms need to fricking die, and frick WB, Rocksteady or whoever thought it was a good idea to hire these canucks and their homosexualry. I expect they'll shut down Rocksteady in a year or two.
>Suicide Squad made money so make it a game!
>Wonder Woman made money so make sure they fellate her!
The DCEU ruins another thing, again.
>There's been 6 depictions of superman over the last 10 years
>All of them have been evil superman
That's enough. Stop making him villian. We all know they only do it because they can't write him as a hero.
The funny part is that he's not even a good villain here, he barely gets any screen time or any dialog, he's just brainwashed and on a rampage from the moment you see him until he dies which is kinda boring narratively.
It feels like they did a better job turning the heroes into villains with batman and the flash than superman, superman in this game feels like an afterthought or like they were didn't know what to do with a brainwashed superman
Isn't the one with korean Lois Lane good?
A part of the storyline is that multiple Clarks across the multiverse are bad.
Bizzaro Superman has been a thing for ages, though.
Bizarro didn't even appear in MAWS. It's just evil Clark Kents from other earths.
they are all clones, who cares
>remember when in 2016 people were making fun of the suicide squad killing superman with mallets, guns, boomerangs, a lizard and a Pyro guy that doesn't want to use his powers?
>WHAT IF WE MADE THOSE MEMES REALS!
frick this hack industry!!!
Are the bullets are super bullets?
Such things exist in the DC universe, I remember there was some sort of metal alloy that can be kill metahumans by essentially draining their power slowly until one of the bullets can actually penetrate their metahuman defenses and kill them, but you need to shot the ever living frick out of them, so like a small army can nickel and dime the flash to death over an hour. If they used that, that would at least technically kill everyone, even Superman since he falls into the "metahuman" spectrum, at least his gay son specifically falls into that category. Since, in game, you're probably dropping 50 magazines into the super heroes, that probably is canonically the amount of bullets you'd need to actually down the super powered humans.
Or they could have used energy weapons that they state do that, or like did some sort of spell on the squad that they have that effect, it's a comic book thing, you can use magic to fight magic.
On an unrelated note, just from all thr backlash, they also probably should have ended the game with ARGUS tossing all the superheroes into the Lazarus pit so they can at least use the characters again and you can do some black comedy if, let's say, the justice league thanks them for killing them when they went evil.
They're golden kryptonite bullets. Gold Kryptonite negates Supes powers but he should never let any bullet hit him in the first place. An easy way out would be to say that being possessed by Brainiac limits his natural power somehow, but without it it makes no sense that a no moral Superman doesn't take out the Squad within a fraction of a second.
>Gold Kryptonite negates Supes powers but he should never let any bullet hit him in the first place
He's fricked before the fight starts because he arrogantly grabs the kryptonite boomerang that boomerang throws at him.
Where is all that kryptonite coming from?
Do they have entire werehouse full of kryptonite somewhere?
Wonderwoman had a kryptonite shield made from a stash Batman had, because of course he does, but it doesn't work. Lex had a theory that whatever brainwashing Brainiac did also changed their physiology, and uses Batman as a baseline study to test the theory out. From that he synthesizes gold Kryptonite and produces 2 crates full of the stuff.
There are various versions of the DC universe where they can synthesize Kryptonite for a huge price, or are able to trade aliens for some, which is basically worthless to aliens since it doesn't do anything except depower a Kryptonian in the SOL system. It's found on the ships superman and Supergirl land on earth with, so you might have at least a bit .
Basically, you can handwave having Kryptonite on hand, maybe say something like "there's less than 200lbs of Kryptonite on earth, 99.9% of which is in the league's hands, which we now have."
They sort of should have handwaved it in some way, it's lazy to not say anything to huge plot holes, and even your explanation, as basic as it is, would work fine.
>"Thankfully, you aren't going to be taking on a fully powered justice league, as a failsafe, Batman foresaw this situation and implemented a limiting agent if they were ever mind controlled. Of course, he could never completely depower someone as superman or the flash, but it at least gives us a chance"
>As brainic is controlling the Justice League, he thankfully hasn't had time to fully power the Members to their full strength. It's now or never, if we wait any longer, the justice league will return to full strength and be able to kill us all before we even knew what happened
Hell, you could start the game with it
>Your first order of business is to break into this facility and turn on the Metahuman, energy, gargantuan, and Alien Anti-Power Super System, which will temporarily allow you to have a chance to kill the Justice League, the system will last only 24 hours once engaged so we only have one chance. If you don't turn on the MEGA-ASS, and Superman even whiffs what you're doing, you'll be dead in less time it would take for you to say MEGA-ASS.
>The flash rips Luthor's heart out while the Suicide Squad was escorting him, nobody could react or notice him in time to activate the speedforce reactor
>he doesn't do this with them because... he just doesn't ok??'
From the part with GL it's because Brainiac is collecting metahumans and they fit the bill.
That said, it doesn't really excuse the shitty writing because GL had them in cuffs when they arrived in Metropolis. He could have flown them directly to Brainiac instead of giving them a guided tour of how fricked the city is. Flash could have grabbed them and ran them directly to Brainiac like how he went and kidnapped Luthor out of his armor.
Oh yeah, golden Kryptonite. It's like $10,000 a bullet or something, isn't it?
Is the alloy Golden Kryptonite? I thought that was something different? I remember the Anti-meta human bullets having some Kryptonite analog but it wasn't specifically Kryptonite, but I have read this shit for like 15 years
You forgot the part where you finally meet Brainiac and his 50000IQ brain form is... literally just the flash again
i thought superman not getting shot was..his whole thing.
>the suicide squad gets in Batman's lair
>his holo projection starts listing his contingency plans for the League
>they laugh and put him on fastforward
this whole game was made out of spite for DC
Oh, they do that? Haha, I love the suicide squad but every adaptation has been pretty shitty. I wouldn't expect a modern game company to do anything but use it as an excuse to shit in beloved heroes.
they fast forward it because by that point they already killed flash and green lantern, they wanted to find out how to kill batman and superman
Is "What if Superman but evil" the new "zombies but humans are actually the real monsters"?
wonder woman dies from cringe and the evil supervillains cry about it
>Why would you play tetris? All you do is place shapes on other shapes at incrementally faster paces?
The game looks like crap, why are you gays wasting a week of your lives talking about something noone will play including yourselves
it's what they were taught in uni(di)versity
>all your good values are actually bad and it's good for you to murder them
>and murder isn't bad if you're murdering good that is to say bad
my expectations weren't subverted
Why would you even play a Suicide Squad video game though?
harley quinn is basically the only selling point and she needs something like VTMB that focuses specifically on seduction dialogue. It would never get made because devs are getting paid to dial in on that primo level-up-shoot-more-damage-bullets two-stop gameplay loop
Okay so it's one of these three?
- You're the sort of weirdo that liked the movie, and think game tie-ins might be cool
- You liked the Arkham games are were hoping to see Rocksteady knock it out of the park
- You want to play as Harley Quinn. Even a shitty nonsesical version of her.
I just want game developers that are sober.
>Modest budget or modest talent should mean an enormous scope of your project
>you should never just only make a decent game and hope it makes more than development costs, always gamble on copying the top percentile
>everything needs to be always online even singleplayer
I'm just asking why you'd play this game in the first place, But sure, I see you.
I like infiltration games and you have a human-power-level-character (winner) that tries to accomplish sabotage (winner) with simple melee wrecking weapons (winner) explosives (winner) and charm (winner).
A Harley Quinn game should play exactly like Deus Ex but you're the fricker taking hostages and causing mayhem, down to talking your way out of situations, and throw in hitman disguises too
Because he's the hero Ganker deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A ban evader.
instead of lazy ET shit it's going to be 10,000 ubisoft clones where you should increasingly beefy health sponge walls with pop guns that recieve 2% damage upgrades crafted with scrap metal and cadava berries
how tf does the flash get hit by a bullet?

Besides bad gameplay, Black person deadshot and harley troony, what else has this game done wrong?
>stupid AAA capeshit game gets dozens of threads a day trying to cultivate incel rage in time for election season
For people who constantly claim you don't give a flying monkey's ass about capeshit, you're really REALLY concerned about this particular bit of capeshit.
>Ganker is one person
>Ganker is one group of people
Its true.
I am Ganker
I'm also trans btw.
V is one person, why else would everyone talk the same?
I bet you'll even get mad i didnt use slashes and capitalized the v
The entirety of Ganker despises anything cape-related, son. You should go back to your safe space.
>they censored him for he told the truth
don't worry truthchad, at least your statements are forever saved on the archives
