    Maybe if they put real effort into these fucking things. It’s not like the genre is dead, the Spider-Man games show you can make excellent third person superhero brawlers. It’s because they make these soulless cash grabs with questionable writing and abysmal DLC.

      Well the painful kicker here is that this is by Rocksteady. The guys who made the amazing Arkham games. They threw away their roots for this. Like wtf are they doing??

        I guarantee like none of the people responsible for making the Arkham games what they were were still working at the company when Suicide Squad started development.

          Exactly. Rocksteady was bought by WB. Therefore, it no longer exists, except as a name.

          Companies don’t die. They just get bought and disappear into the corporate blob of flesh.

        Exactly. They really laid the modern groundwork on what this genre is, but instead of getting out of the hole they buried themselves in the foundation.

    Always online, live service, Denuvo, and characters that are not remotely faithful to their source material abilities…?

    Hard pass four times over.

    The “What Happened?” episode for this game is going to be juicy as fuck. I gotta imagine Matt is already working on the script.

      Mr. McMuscles always seems to get his hands on the most interesting details. I look forward to every release he makes.

        Matt McMuscles is one of those rare examples of an independent “Internet journalist” who actually does real fucking journalism. Like, the dude puts in a fuck ton of work cultivating sources, digging up the story, putting all the pieces together. Actual proper investigative journalism.

        And then he presents it all as a cartoon skeleton.

        Truly we are in the weirdest timeline.
