"Has fallen short of our worst expectations"
Ftfy Warner Bros

 

[Shut0wen]

Put it on Gamepass. I still think it looks fun.

I give it next year until it is like there other crappy game by Montreal

 

[dorkimoe]

still plan on picking this up for like 20 bucks sometime.

 

[winjer]

Everyone was expecting it to fail miserably, except for WB in their own private bubble.

The question is how long until they blame it on gamers.

 

[CherryFalls]

Hopefully the 4 WB shills we have here can stop pretending it's good

 

[Holammer]

It's dead and Helldivers killed it.
You'll find a boxed copy for 5$ soon enough.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Duh!!

Make a 'superhero' game devoid of 'superheroes'?
Make a game based on a C-tier comic book/movie
Make it live service
Make it look worse than a 10 year old game by the same developer
Make it $70

I'm not going to pretend that I don't like to see a AAAA super-hero generic action game produced with high levels of executive cynicism fail.

I love it.

Next, all Marvel Sony games to fail in similar spectacular fashion please. We need a Heaven's Gate level disaster.

Not necessarily true, they never said they were expecting a success. Maybe they were expecting it to fail and it still didn't meet their expectations. That's even better.

 

[Pigenator]

I imagine they had 0 expectations after the massive ridicule it had the past year, so that's quite something

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

RIP Rocksteady

 

[AnotherOne]

Don't worry WB it didn't meet our expectations for a good game either

 

[Švejk]

This was $17.99 not even a week ago on PS. Lol
Edit: oopsies, I'm an idiot. Got it confused with Arkham Knights. Same shit, different spandex.

Many of these corporate people are so disconnected from reality and consumers, that they might have actually thought this was going to be a hit.

 

[fart town usa]

I have nothing against the game but yea, no shit WB.

Got a nice genuine chuckle when I read the headline.

[LordCBH]

Eventually they'll learn.

[stn]

I'm gonna get the game when it goes on a deep sale, but I'm still shocked that this game got priority over, for example, a proper Superman game.

 

[Robb]

The only way I can see this being the case is if they expected it to do even worse.

 

[CircleOfFire]

Well I predicted this and that then they'd have to do layoffs as a result, which would be blamed on the studio, not the executives who pushed for this crazy model of a game.

Given that Arkham Knight is in my top 5 games of forever, it actually makes me sad that I'm right...

[Shake Your Rump]

IT got a ton of bad press, and I thought it looked awful in all the previews. But the players say it is fun.

There are at least two million active Steam users, and this game has under 1000 of them playing this game, a game that requires online. It can't be that fun.

Maybe it was fun for a week.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Funny cause didn't players have the same feeling?

 

[Duchess]

 

[Krieger]

It didn't fall short of my expectations, that being a fucking piece of trash.

 

[spartan30gr]

You greeding fucking bastards
Deal whit it now.

WB will be like:
Hogwarts Legacy: Traditional single player game by lesser known dev --> Massive success
Suicide Squad: GaaS by well known and beloved studio --> Absolute failure

Conclusion:
Let's double down on GAAS

Didn't they already make that statement right after Hogwarts Legacy was a success?

WB is ran by mentally challenged people.
As far as I'm concerned I do hope they double,hell triple down on this gaas shit cuz' that way they file for bankrupcy sooner and sell these IPs and studios to someone who is actually capable of managing them.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

This is one of those situations where the entire fucking planet knew before they did.

 

[Luipadre]

tbh i already forgot this game even came out. Kinda crazy

 

[Certinty]

The game would have likely still underperformed even if it released day one on Game Pass and PS+ Premium. That says more than enough…

 

[Darkmakaimura]

 

[Deerock71]

Layoffs and studio closures in 3...2...1...

 

[FeralEcho]

Meanwhile... Stellar blade will be a blast game.

Because it have what we want

Can't wait for all that gameplay

 

[STARSBarry]

I mean it's not because it's a GaaS game, it's because it's a bad game, Helldivers is a GaaS game and drawing more players...

No I'm not talking about Helldivers 2.

I'm talking about...

 

[Don Carlo]

Yep, pretty much expected. Suicide Squad did have a lot of potential, I'll say that.

 

[Dazraell]

 

[Mister Wolf]

That's great news.

 

[balls of snow]

Finally something Phil is useful for. Get out the checkbooks, get Warners Bros on the line and drop Suicidal Squad on gamepass by the time we are all done with Rebirth.

 

[Rentahamster]

If only Warner Brothers would have followed trends, this wouldn't have happened.
