Suicide Squid: Kill the Justice League

Yes that was the biggest one, having played it I did notice that each character has specific guns, for example Captain Boomerang starts with a shotgun as a primary and sniper rifle as secondary compared to King Shark being an assault rifle and mini gun user. I thought that those weapon types were tied to characters. No they are not which made it all pointless.

Outside the game - does anybody give that much of a shit about the Suicide Squad in general?

Or were/are DC expecting it to catch on to the mainstream a bit more like GOTG did?

Before the first movie, it seemed like something that could be pretty huge. The idea of a bunch of crazy anti-heroes would definitely appeal to that teenage boy demographic who are into Batman, Joker, Deadpool etc...

But the first movie killed a lot of the appeal imho.

The story and cutscenes look good, but probably I'll just watch them on youtube, and even then I'll probably be thinking that I should just watch Harley Quinn if I want Harley / King Shark banter.

Oh yeah, Poison Ivy, famously known for her axes.

It's hard for me to square how a team with so much pedigree in making genre-defining action games, is now stuck trying to make a Destiny clone. I know Redfall happened last year too, but still... how did anyone think this was a good idea.

Luke stephens has a good video about the end game after completing the story and the high profile streamers the company paid for where not impressed with the endgame stuff (Live service games tend a good end game missions for it to keep players)

I hope it doesn't tbh. They're a great studio and it would be fucking shit if there were any cuts to them because of one game. But I also understand how they haven't produced anything for around 7-8 years so there's a lot riding on this.

I don't know really, but the OG founders left last year and made their own studio and have a taken around 50 people from Rocksteady apparently I believe they were the most experienced people.

Division did just fine as did the second. Still have a healthy player count and div 2 has been getting updates until recently. Main difference is ubi didn't go all in on it being a life replacement with constant paid expansions and that's a good thing I think. Destiny have pushed it too far and seem to be drawing a blank on any creativity now and charging top money for very little return.

I was bummed when they announced their next project would be suicide squad (like honestly who gives a fuck about the majority of DC properties, let alone this garbage fire which I had close to zero knowledge of back then). Every piece of news and update since then has been more depressing than the last.

Executive decisions so dumb it almost makes my blood boil.
Take the studio who made 3 of the best ever superhero completely single player games and get them to tackle... this?
Such a shame, like others have said, hopefully they can survive and maybe we'll see an interesting rocksteady project sometime after 2030

I don't really care to much about the characters playing similarly, as I'm likely only ever going to play one and not switch between them anyway (though I recognise it's a bigger issue for the gameplay on the whole, it just won't particularly affect me specifically). It's the really basic gameplay design that looks bad - the 'stand in this area and defeat waves of goons' stuff that really shouldn't be the basis for an action title.

I'm interested in the story though, so I'll play through it at some point. I still need to play Arkham Knight, so it won't be for a while.

It's a pity they didn't get a team working on doing more with VR, Batman Arkham VR is a great title but it doesn't have any longevity.

If you want to really feel like Batman you need to play it.

I'll probably end up buying this. I really didn't like the alpha at all but I almost take it as a personal insult someone actually made a game I found so utterly joyless. The story was borderline playable so I still think there's fun somewhere in there, and I'll find it. I will not be beaten!

Yes, I know that's the worst reason to buy a game anyone has ever given, but I didn't get where I am in life making wise purchasing decisions.

I'll just wait six months till it's on Game Pass, install the entire 150gb or whatever it'll be, play it exactly once and then delete it.
