If this is all true, I wonder if the whole project became an inside joke or something at WB. They (execs, writers, developers) just became insanely hateful of super heros and how much the project(s) cost them, and decided to send them off in the worst way possible, with the lamest characters doing it. It would also explain the retard teir low/no effort gameplay and UI.
The dialogue in these tapes is all stunted and awkward. Like none of it is flowing naturally. Everyone pauses between lines like it's staged.
Even when together, they're ***not even able to stand up to A proper powerless hero like batman.
The performances in the game are shockingly bad. A lot strike me as one-takes.
Suicide squad had some development trouble iirc, and the dev time for what we got points to them at some point being aimless on what the game is gonna be. That leads to a lot of stuff getting trashed and a lot of wheel spinning without anything getting done.
>When you ask why a game that took 10 years to make is worse in quite literally every single aspect than a game that released in 2009, and all you get is the flouride stare
It's worse than that. You forget they have denuvo and it's a GAAS so they have to keep the servers running. Probably costs 100k+ per month just to keep the servers and the denuvo license running.I wanted to do some math to see how much in the hole rocksteady might be:

This link has a bunch of sale estimations on steam, the higher of all of them being 77k sales (and it cant be much higher, the 24h peak is only 13.400 players on steamcharts).
If you are generous and asume everyone bought the expensive version, that would be 7.700.000 dollars in income.
Multiply by 3 for the console versions and you have an income of 23 millions, and thats before steam/microsoft/sony gets their cut, so its probably less than 20 millions in income.
It will rise some more this week, even the website says so, but probably not by that much, the release day and release weekend already came.
And thats taking the most favorable sale estimation in there, and asuming everyone paid 100 dollars in buying that garbage.
Even if the game has a "reasonable" 100 million budget, it would still be a disaster(imo it cant be lower than that, rocksteady is a AAA studio in a first world country who has not released anything in over 8 years, and they have been advertising this shit everywhere). With this they are still at least 80 million in the hole.
But if the estimates of an absurd 200-400 million budget is true... well in that case we might have one of the biggest game bombs of all time.
Im sure my autistic method of counting income isnt anywhere near perfect, but it shows that even giving the benefit of the doubt to rocksteady in multiple ways they are nowhere near close to breaking even, lets hope they follow volition into the grave.
It would be interesting to see how they would try to crawl their way out of the hole they dug themselves but with a player base of this size I don't see it living long enough to create much more of a train wreck. My guess is that it will get even less support than the Avengers game. It will likely either be snuffed out quick like Anthem or linger in a state of purgatory until people forget it even exists.
I know you're gonna call me an autist for reading comics, but Boomerang is quite literally autistic and wears them because they look like boomerangs.
Joe is one of the biggest Superman fans around and has been one for at least 16 years.
It made more sense even if it was reckless. Also more respectful even though it's extremely violent
