Rocksteady teases Suicide Squad game

"Okay, what's out big idea for a boss fight with the Flash?"
"Well, he runs around the area, sometimes hits you, and then stands still so you can shoot him to death."

God, they took the most boring route for a potential boss fight around a speedster. Also, as I said before, the environment in this game just looks utterly bland.
If you like batman you might like this one. The plot was a breath of fresh fucking air sort of.
Explaining it would ruin the plot.
The quality shift between seasons was wild. The first telltale Batman was mid to crap while the second season was mid to pretty engaging. Bruce and Joker's relationship and how they handle you influencing him in different ways depending on if you play more as Bruce or Batman was well handled. Across two games, Telltale tried to use the 'Bruce, you truly have created your own worst enemy!' bit like four fucking times and Joker was the only one that nailed it.

It took them almost ten years to make this slop.

Dude lmao.
AAA gaming is fucking dead. There's no way these studios can continue to take 5-10 years to put out a game and have it be complete shit. And I can't believe the "fix it 3 years later" thing is going to last much longer.

Yeah, that shit worked with Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky, are people really so dumb as to keep accepting it?
 
The problem is that DC and WB are way behind Marvel. They keep trying to turn the Suicide Squad into their Guardians of the Galaxy. That is a huge mistake. The Guardians are more or less misfits with hearts of gold who do the right thing and save the day. Not to mention that they have genuine love and camaraderie with each other. The Suicide Squad are made up of unrepentant bad guys who hate each other and are forced to work together under the threat of death. Without that constant threat of death they will go back to killing each other or innocents. People can't relate to the Suicide Squad as they can with the Guardians for obvious reasons. Yet DC and WB have for years kept trying to push the Suicide Squad as the next big thing. They are not and never will be.
What sucks is that you actually can do a good story about a bunch of murderous fuck-ups all forced to overcome their worst natures. Hell, there's an entire trilogy of 40k books about that very premise with the Last Chancers.
The first book ends with the guy getting pardoned after a successful suicide mission, then snapping and murdering a bunch of IG officers after they start shittalking him and all of his dead comrades, winding up right back where he was as cannon fodder for the Imperium. The protagonist's redemption only comes at the very end of the third book after he gets possessed by a daemon and so he finally takes his actual Last Chance to do the right thing and grabs the kill team's target and jumps to their deaths.
I know Batman Beyond is popular, but I just hate the idea of Bruce getting old.
Yeah, but you can also have a moment where a mugger or some other lowlife nobody tries to hold up Bruce Wayne with a knife only to have him wave McInnes off and break the punk's kneecaps himself with his cane.

This is why we have Alfred.
 
So apparently weapon swapping has a cooldown mechanic, yes that's right if you want to swap from pistol to shotgun and you've already done it recently you have to wait out a cooldown period to swap again.

This is a seriously impressive level of shitty, I don't think I've ever heard of a game doing that before.
I wonder if they're going to charge extra for removing that cooldown.
 
If the fun sized Ivy had been revealed to be Ivy's daughter through "The Green" fuckery and Harley felt this need to protect her in Ivy's memory, it would actually be kind of cute. Maybe Harley motivates her to use her powers for good. You could have had an interest dynamic there with Harley acting like a caring aunt that fills a mother like role, even if she knows she isn't parent material.

But no, we have suggestive dialogue that feels par for the course for this pedo dominated Industry.

Batman Beyond handles the concept rather maturely. Bruce doesnt quit because he cant physically handle it but because his body starting to give up on him nearly caused him to shoot a thug out of desperation. THAT was the moment he saw he couldnt do this anymore, as much as he wished he could. Next time he might actually pull the trigger and he much rather hang the cowl than to ever go against his principles. And the show is a good example of handling an aged legend properly, even having Bruce getting back into the fray one way or the other ocassionally to remind us why Gotham's criminals feared the shit out of him.

People deserve what they tolerate, hence why I haven't touched NMS or Cyberpunk since their disastrous releases. Even if you make the good faith argument and claim they legit wanted to make it up to us, I still can't make an exception to them because I know that if I do, less "benevolent" players within the industry will take that as an example that they can get away with half asking projects and then just apologizing and promising now that they'll fix it. It's very toxic and hurtful to the industry but that's how it works, if they can get away with it, they will do it. Even if one does it once and promises to fix it out of legit regret for releasing something undone, doesn't mean the other will be the same.

This cannot be normalized and yet I'm very sure that it will thanks to the combination of gamers being more forgiving than nuns and more forgetful than goldfishes.

This is why many consider me to be an asshole gamer, mostly because I hold back no poison in shit talking the industry and gamers as a whole. Its an abusive relationship and gamers, like the niggercattle they are, keep asking for more.

I guess we should be glad that they aren't charging for the bullets...yet.

I legit think this game deserves to burn even if just an example to the industry to not fucking do this.
 
So, remember that scene from dmc Devil May Cry where Reboot Dante spits on the Main Dante's character design?

Harley finds her AK suit

Now, to be fair, it's not like she could ever wear the old suit anyway. After her breast reduction, that shit's just gonna fall off.

We also have a preview of shitty Joker from Earth 2. The voice is terrible, the look is terrible, the idea is terrible; but the one compliment I can give is that using the umbrella (the trademark weapon of the Joker?) as a skateboard looks kind of fun.

Is this really going to be live service slop like the Avengers? You would think they would course correct after that game flopped, but apparently not.
I can't believe Arkham died for this

>New Boss fights!

Shows existing boss fights with purple shit on them. The multiverse really is just gonna be a whole new way to recycle assets, isn't it?

I suppose that mechanic could work, but the style of game would have to be something other than a (supposedly) fast paced looter-shooter.

A better way to do this is by adding ready animations for certain weapons but that works better in first person. Darktide does this with the boltgun and helbore lasguns to name a few. It's mostly done as a balancing measure although I don't think it's working as evidenced by the usage rate of weapons with lengthy ready animations being in the toilet.
I personally can't think of a way to incorporate weapon swap cooldowns in a way that doesn't antagonize the player or isn't some downside to a strong perk in a roguelite.

After my husband played through the Arkham trilogy for the first time (before the Suicide Squad announcement), I decided to check Rocksteady's Twitter page to see if they had any other projects in the works. No joke — their last post was a picture of a shitty little tranny flag on a desk. The whole post was about how excited they were to have this representation in the studio, blah blah blah.

I lost all hope for any future games because I knew whoever made the Arkham games so good couldn't've been there anymore. All of the comments were people saying things like: "Cool. When's the next game coming out?" Clearly fustrated and annoyed by their latest "update," if you can call it that.

Since then, I haven't cared what they make.

They killed off Evil Goth Harley for that? Fucking hell, Rocksteady, were you trying to make this game as hated and despised as you possibly could?
 
Referencing a few posts from earlier, I don’t get why people say you can’t make a good Superman game. Super easy pitch: you take Brainiac, have him break into the Fortress of Solitude while Superman is shrunk down inside the bottle city of Kandor, Brainiac steals the bottle and, once he realizes Superman is trapped inside, he sends in waves of disposable goons with Kryptonite weapons and maybe a few classic baddies (like Bizarro, Atomic Skull and Livewire) to fuck with the big blue boy scout. You’d have a whole city with easily-defined bounds that the player couldn’t leave, and enemies that could actually damage Superman and pose a threat. Why is this so hard for WB to figure out?
