Shocked it's coming out as soon as it is. But man, everything about it looks.... pretty been there done that. Doesn't look exciting at all to me.

 

[Holammer]

That's precisely what I wanted when I played the Arkham games.

 

[Bragr]

The footage is weird, it's hard to judge how it plays. The cutscenes and characters look awesome, but I suspect it needs some great review scores to get the hype going.

It's so weird to see all the characters swinging and flying around like Spider-Man. Almost like they took too many liberties.

But I trust Rockstar, and they usually have some really cool stories and characters.

suicide squad: kill the studio

 

[Spyxos]

I am so disappointed. They should have made their Superman/Batman game. I actually liked the first 2 trailers of Suicide Squad. But the more gameplay I see, the less I want to play it.

 

[Urban]

The problem with this typ of games is that its not just a 70-80 Dollar game anymore. Its a 280-320 Dollar game because u need 3 other friends who are also wanting to play the game online.

For me its doa

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

Very disappointed, ngl none of the footage was able to convince me in the slightest. jeez

 

[ExcitableBoy]

This is getting delayed. The game looked ass. The frame rate was ass.

 

[T4keD0wN]

At least the movement looks somewhat fun, but i really hope Rocksteady dont meet the same fate as Bioware and Crystal Dynamics.

 

[llLeonhart]

Looks pretty bad tbh. Safest pass in the world for me.

 

[Hot5pur]

Yikes.
Should have done another Batman game.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Think this looks amazing. Please be cross play and cross progression.

I'm day one on this, traversal looks brilliant and co op will make it a ton of fun.

Just need to know if its cross play/progression.

 

[Gaiff]

But I trust Rockstar, and they usually have some really cool stories and characters.

I too, trust Rockstar. GTA VI will be awesome.

 

[BoxFresh123]

F2P inside a year

 

[SJRB]

I am legit shocked at how bad this looks. I actually feel bad right now.

I love Rocksteady and I think they are a god-tier game studio with a tracklist that is still considered a pinnacle in videogame development but man, almost everything about this game looks terrible.

This is going to be a disaster for Rocksteady, mark my words.

What the fuck happened?

 

[shiru]

bleh

 

[Revolutionary]

That woman describing Bane's gearset made me laugh out loud. I think she was describing Schumacher's version of Bane? Lol

As for the gameplay, it's most definitely not what I expected, but I have faith in Rocksteady to deliver a fun experience with amazing attention to detail for hardcore DC fans, like they always have.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Il play this junk on gamepass when it comes to it a few months after its released.

 

[Pelta88]

I really liked it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

This is probably gonna be one of those games with 4-5 different versions to buy. A $70 title with a battle pass, lmao.

Stuff about it reminds me of Crackdown, especially the shields they pick up after killing enemies.

Exactly my thoughts, I love the DC universe and the Arkham games and I really don't wanna play this, and I played and liked Gotham Knights

GaaS happened.

 

[SolidQ]

maybe will buy for 3$, only for campaign

 

[Captain Toad]

Another franchise and developer ruined by chasing the Game as a Service business model.

I'm sure this will go directly into subscription services so they can try to start bleeding money from you, so you can actually enjoy the game.

 

[LordCBH]

Looks kinda fun, actually. I’ll bite.

 

[DR3AM]

Avengers Part 2
These types of games peaked 5 years ago.

 

[Bridges]

Surprised to hear they're planning to add new characters to this post-launch.

Definitely going to get this, I trust it'll be fun, but it's a pretty weird jump for the studio

 

[fermcr]

Enough with the superhero crap! I'm fed up with anything related to superheros.

 

[Iced Arcade]

looks rough. I love co-op games but damn

 

[kaizenkko]

They completely mischaracterize the characters, they all look exactly the same, but worse, they all look like some kind of Spider-Man. How can a Boomerang Captain who doesn't use a Boomerang as his main weapon? Or a King Shark that keeps jumping and gliding through the air?

Seriously...

 

[Sygma]

cant wait to see the boss fights with that traversal jesus. The closed beta feedback has been glowing so far, and honestly between this and traditional coop shooters where you're pretty much funneled through corridors or set pieces or "locked arenas", theres a world of difference that I can't wait to dive in. Looks like The Division on LSD and I'm all for it. Just praying that there is no "outpost" system and that an additional difficulty is unlocking when you finish the story, with endgame gear to get and one raid boss or something

Can be huge if done right

 

[OneBigPuss]

Jesus. Another busy fortnite clone. No wonder Sefton Hill left to not be a part of this disaster.

 

[GHG]

Everything about this looked awful. Hard pass.

I really hoped the industry was done releasing crap like this given recent similar high profile failures but whatever let them fall on their sword.

My favorite line in this was the dev who said "We've spent time perfecting the swinging for Harley and its fun to swing around as her" and I was like, its Harley Fucking Quinn not Spiderman ffs

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Rocksteady was one of my favourite devs to emerge in the last few years. What they achieved on 360/PS3 and PS4/XB1 has been great.

This , looks....off

Visually, I’m not seeing anything that couldn’t of been achieved on PS4, in fact given Rocksteadys pedigree particularly with Arkham Knight which I thought was impressive given the hardware , this is a disappointment.

And then we have that Battle pass nonsense, yes it’s cosmetics however I love customisations for characters and this sort of shite to unlock stuff is jarring to say the least.

I’ll certainly be holding off a first week purchase and see how it turns out.

It’s no wonder some people flock to Sony’s first party stuff because of the lack of service garbage.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I could see this game doing better than people think it will, it actually looks like a solid co-op game.

They all try to be Destiny without realising the main points of Destiny is the fucking great gameplay and story telling/world building

 

[AnotherOne]

That looked so bad

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Honestly looks like a pretty fun coop game, will get this.

 

[Sygma]

I could see this game doing better than people think it will, it actually looks like a solid co-op game.

it is and graphically speaking its miles above what you see in a badly compressed 1080p video without hdr. And weirdly enough its also a very solid looter.

Honestly im just laughing at some takes here, you'll see the same people playing Diablo IV but it will be cool because its not the continuity of arkham, despite being a looter too

 

[Mossybrew]

Eh, I dunno about all the purple glowy shit and overall look of the game especially during combat. Meh. I should really wait for sale on this one but I might become weak.

 

[Fbh]

Looks pretty fun IMO. It's like a Crackdown/Sunset Overdrive type game with high mobility and COOP.

Wouldn't pay more than $30 for it but once it's on sale and if at least one friend is on board with it I could see myself giving it a try.

 

[Balducci30]

Is there a reason there’s so many online co op games coming out? If it was split screen I’d care

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

This is what happens when you don't give your core audience what they want. Just look at the reaction here.

Suicide Squad? Annoying af characters who appeal mostly to 15 year Olds.

Live service multi-player- going to be really tough to get around that for all of us who've loved their single player games in the past.

PS- it doesn't look bad but its disappointing none the less

 

[wyvern_bloodfist]

Wow; this game looks like hot garbage

 

[Portugeezer]

Looks... generic.

multiplayer...

also: this's just rocksteady in name only. arkham trilogy rocksteady it ain't...

 

[Talkin Hawkin]

Terrible on all levels. This game will bomb
