IGN: “Why won’t WB send us free codes?”

 

[danklord]

Ended up buying it because of some sick fascination after the year of negative press. Looking forward to trying out Early Access. Something in my gut says I'm going to like this more than Spiderman 2.

 

[ManaByte]

The game has full cross play AND cross progression.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Already knew because of the leaks and already had a hunch they would give Harley this attention when I saw the intro with Harley of all enemies doing push ups in prison. I mean, this is totally her.

Kevin Conroy's last appearance as Batman.

Ew.

Ending scene

Spoiler

this never-ending attempt by developers to fabricate 'feels' has ended up taking gaming to some very ludicrously ugly, disoriented, & empty places...

 

[GymWolf]

Great OT op, i kinda wanna try the game because i'm an absolute sucker for good and fast traversal in open world games and here you have 4 different types of traversal but the combat\enemy design seems so repetitive and the shooting itself doesn't look super meaty.

I need some feedback and some prolonged gameplay to watch.

 

[GymWolf]

It's basically inFAMOUS/Sunset Overdrive/Crackdown.

If you ever liked that style of traversal & combat focused open-world third-person shooters, then this might be for you, as well as if you're into Borderlands-type games.

And unlike any of the aforementioned titles, Suicide Squad will be solid on the narrative front.

Infamous 1 had a great story and incredible finale, let's not pee out of the toilette please.

Ew.

Sad that they did him disservice...by allowing Harley of all characters to give a speech against him.

[VenomousCoffee]

Love the OP and thread title. Good work!

After much back and forth, I'm probably going to get this. I do like the Infamous/Crackdown style games, and that plus the immersion in the DC universe should be enough. That, and their getting Deathstroke down the road.

I'll add that I've just about finished playing the upgraded version of Last of Us 2, and while there's a lot I love about that game, I'm so, so, so, so tired of the preachiness and moralizing, and I really want to play something that's focused on having fun.

 

[Heaven Angel]

agreed, hope we get old rocksteady after this disaster

 

[Luipadre]

Lmao watched a guy on twitch, the cutscene froze and got kicked out of the game because of server issues again. What a fucking shitshow.

Looking at those announcements I'm glad they're going to get complete wrecked in a few days. Good riddance to that w*ke sh*t.

 

[lefty1117]

Not sure what to make of the picture ... are you saying they didn't have social media before 2015?

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Even Rocksteady is like "We don't want to waste your time".

The person who made that image crying about the Pride post will probably die if they found out Kevin Conroy was gay.

Send her round my house, I’ve got a couple of jobs she can take care of, send the sound designer too, some of them are tasks only 2 people can complete

What was it all for?

Consequence of woke game and devs

Consequence of woke game and devs

Yep but the studios will never learn , they would rather promote lbgt and diversity through there studios, or other agendas. movie studios , tv company’s, gaming company’s in the west have all gone down hill, even japan studios being pushed with the west ways by the heads of studios in the west. I’m just glad to have started gaming 40 yrs ago and have enjoyed it up to now, ps5 must be the least number of games I’ve ever bought on a system in first three yrs of owning it

Wait until they learn that the creators of Superman and Batman were all Jewish.

I hate to ruin anyone’s euphoria from outrage, but that spoiler video isn’t what you think.

No euphoria here sir

 

[nbkicker]

I think the worst feeling is, we never gonna get another batman game for at least 5-6 years if one was ever green lit, but at the same time kinda hope we don’t as don’t think rocksteady now the studio it once was

I'm fairly certain they will pull some time travel / dopplegangers / space magic mumbo jumbo that somehow will just revert the status quo at the end of the story and everyone / majority of characters will turn out to be alive. Which ironically will make this whole "Kill the Justice League" premise even more stupid

It’s already been spoiled what is really going on but the “disrespect to Conroy” BS is now a rage bait meme and people don’t care that it’s based on a lie.

I didn’t care about this game at all 5 minutes ago but now I’m rooting for it to flop. What a dumb ending to the brillian arkham games.

Nope. It wont be.

I mean... it's not that Rocksteady will have a good week regardless if this one thing will turn out incorrect. Honestly speaking, I don't think this will matter as much in terms of overall reception as people will rip on it for dozens of other things that will show up online in coming days

It's not the ending. I'm not sure why they said that in the first place. It's just

Spoiler

"the end" of an evil version/different version

of a specific character.

I think it's gonna follow the similar footsteps as Avengers. Campaign will probably be fine (although I'm not a fan of some creative decisions I already seen on leaked spoilers), but game itself is gonna fall flat on live service part and it's not gonna meet the numbers WB is hoping for

Brianiac genetically modified the JL so they can heal from even mortal wounds. So when she shoots Batman he’s only knocked out until the healing factor kicks in and revives him.

Oh! I didn't scrub the spoilers that hard so I had no clue. From what I had repeatedly read it was what I was saying. Appreciate the enlightenment!

 

[FunkMiller]

The Harley Bats scene is awful, whichever way you cut it.

Spoiler

”What an awful person you are Batman, for trying to save all those people, and be a hero all those years. Here I am to tell you how awful you are and finally kill you off, where none of those men could do before me.”

The self insertion has reached critical mass.

I'm pre-ordering three copies right now

 

[CityHunter1981]

I don’t know how to sugar coat it, but there is just no way this game will be successful, regardless of how good it turns out.

I mean Avengers failed and that came out during the maximum Marvel hype area. Just compare the popularity of Avengers to Suicide Squad and you already have a red flag.

Also Marvel got much better press around its release and also showed that there is kind of a single player campaign, but it still failed at the end.

It is in the main game though. All this talk of post launch seasons is pointless. It’s never getting them. So people angry at the way that’s the last we’ll ever see of

Conroy’s Batman is kind of justified.

Not the actual ending. They killed the original Batman which was controled by Braniac, but their objective is still going.
