This game is destined to end up being a steaming pile of horseshit, all my optimism has faded and I now will only look forward to watching Kevin Conroy's cutscenes instead.

 

[Punished Miku]

This game is being sent on a mission it cannot possibly survive.

 

[PunishedPrince]

Nothing they can do at this point is going to fix the issues people have with this game.

 

[fermcr]

Not many people will be disappointed by the delay...

 

[Spukc]

what a bout a delay to 2099
that would make it better

[ayokunaj]

Who cares

Rocksteady after seeing the gaming communities reaction

 

[Portugeezer]

Needs a few more years, to become a completely different game.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

 

[Bartski]

delay to q4 2033 please.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Warner Brothers executives when assessing the response from State of Play showing.

[winjer]

Just throw it in the trash.

 

[Kacho]

I can't help but laugh when trend chasing fails

 

[Thief1987]

I don't understand what is the point of delaying the game for a few months because of backlash? Game is done at this point, few months of delay won't change anything.

 

[Sygma]

Man this was literally the only game I actually cared about this year, just stop giving a fuck about people on the internet and release it

 

[diffusionx]

they should consider canceling it, shutting down Rocksteady, burning down their office, salting the earth, and then performing an exorcism on the area so no evil of this sort could arise there again

 

[adamsapple]

Why are they assuming it will be received better later in the year?

What... how? Maybe it's time for a new hobby man.

 

[Mossybrew]

Yeah what would they even do in that amount of time, the issues are baked into the basic game design.

If it's true it's probably because it just needs more time/bug testing because they don't want to have complaints about a buggy poorly performing game on top of everything else.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Delay it, delay it straight into the fucking bin!

 

[Sygma]

What... how? Maybe it's time for a new hobby man.

Not much else that's interesting to me, its all been played to death. Shooter looter with an emphasis on verticality / movements and builds in arkham universe was good for me, plus the beta was really good so yeah

edit : nevermind alan wake 2 and remnant 2 this year hopefully too

 

[Certinty]

Dear God, this must be one of the biggest messes of a 'big' release I've ever seen.

 

[The Skull]

No delay will save this. I can't imagine the amount of money spent on this soulless cash grab of a game.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

you can polish a turd.......

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

It's a dumpster fire

Release it to die and start immediately working on a Batman using lessons learned from Hogwarts

 

[sainraja]

Oh, come on. Ya'll don't need to be so negative. If they are delaying the game to work on fixing things (based on reactions so far) then you can at least see they are trying to make sure people will like the game.

 

[skit_data]

Wow, really?
I'm sorry but I don't think a delay will solve anything tbh it's simply too much stuff that seems to be built into the core of the game and it's aesthetics that rubbed me the wrong way.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Oh, come on. Ya'll don't need to be so negative. If they are delaying the game to work on fixing things (based on reactions so far) then you can at least see they are trying to make sure people will like the game.

 

[Fbh]

 

[Kacho]

I'm betting they don't want to release anywhere near Zelda and FF16. That showcase completely buried this game.

 

[Thabass]

Anyone thinking any differently is either having some good copium or is brand new to how video game development works.

 

[Solarium]

embarrassing, nothing is saving this thing

 

[mckmas8808]

Why can't these dumb execs understand why we hate this game?

I don't understand what is the point of delaying the game for a few months because of backlash? Game is done at this point, few months of delay won't change anything.

Because these corporate execs don't know what they are doing. They are the same people telling us that single player games are dead. They said that about 6-8 years ago. They are clueless.

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

I think a delay until Fall of next year could turn the game around.

 

[MOTM]

This game about to cancel all those Hogwarts profits.

 

[SSfox]

You can't fix a dogturd, you can only throw in the trash and start making a real good stuff

 

[FoxMcChief]

I thought I read Q4 2024, and hoped they would fix that shit. Q4 of this year leaves me disappointed that they won't fix what we saw.

 

[Madflavor]

I'm still stewing over the idea that we could've gotten a Superman game instead. But sure. Make another GaaS. Went so well for Anthem and Avengers.

If at first you don't succeed, fail fail again. To fail again.

 

[diffusionx]

Oh, come on. Ya'll don't need to be so negative. If they are delaying the game to work on fixing things (based on reactions so far) then you can at least see they are trying to make sure people will like the game.

Except the reactions were negative about everything and you can't overhaul a title that has been in development for 8 years in a few months. It's over.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Was too close to Redfall, another game of same type.

So good thing it moved out. I will tackle them one by one.

Will separate them with Starfield and Baldurs Gate 3.

 

[Golgo 13]

Yeah. As Schreir mentioned, the reason for the delay was extra polish, but "unpolished" isn't what the complaints were about AT ALL. This does nothing to remedy the issue. It was the foundational elements of the game - the GAaS trappings that people were upset about and will not be able to be overhauled in that time frame. Removing the GAAS stuff would take likely years of additional work.

Just release the turd, let it exist, and move on with lessons learned that you don't chase "trends" with current development lifecycles (5-7 years).

 

[FBeeEye]

Not surprised. It looks like doo-doo and after Marvel Avengers, they probably need to retool some things.

 

[Flabagast]

Suicide Squad : Kill Rocksteady Studios

 

[sainraja]

Except the reactions were negative about everything and you can't overhaul a title that has been in development for 8 years in a few months. It's over.

OK, I still say people are being quick to judge. The game isn't out yet.

 

[Kacho]

Oh, come on. Ya'll don't need to be so negative. If they are delaying the game to work on fixing things (based on reactions so far) then you can at least see they are trying to make sure people will like the game.

The negativity surrounding this game isn't exclusive to GAF. It's everywhere. Rocksteady swung and missed hard on this one. A delay won't change that. It is what it is.
