Rocksteady teases Suicide Squad game

[Mayor Cody Travers]

Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that no one in the Squad actually dies, and that's become a recurring problem for the team since the double whammy of adding in Harley and then making it (poorly) into a franchise.

Think on it. You can't kill Ms. "Fourth Pillar of DC" Harley, of course. Captain Boomerang getting killed in Gunn's SS was a very welcome surprise both because he's a Squad mainstay, but also due to Flash being one of the few heroes with a strong rogues' gallery beyond Batman and Spider-Man's that people actually know about (others have good galleries too! But they're not as famous) so you can't just axe him for good - non-Bat/Spidey heroes need every "good" villain they can get. But even other baddies becoming more well-known means they become more marketable and so you can't just see them killed off for the same reason as Boomerang's, you need as many good non-A-list heroes' villains as possible. And all of this goes tenfold if you're intent on making them into anti-heroes. Even though this means less bad guys to fight... and I doubt modern-day comics have a glimmer of hope of making new, cool supervillains if even previous eras of comics struggled.

Suicide Squad becoming more than a one-off thing in any adaption of the DCU means, by default, its concept is broken to make the characters recurring. Others mentioned the Doom Patrol as "quirky team replacements", but you could arguably have the Teen Titans fit in even if they were more properly the DC's X-Men parallel (as "young outcasts with funky powers"), or... or even The Outsiders as a co-ops team developed by Batman or even Waller (who's willing to offer carrots to unscrupulous but still moral heroes versus the stick on the Squad)! Yeah, the Outsiders! You could even have Katana and have someone other than Rick Flag utter the immortal line from 2016 for her.

The block bot most likely came in to play after this tweet where Shaw got shat upon by the masses.

That's just a fraction. Tweet is still up if anyone wants to lol at the replies letting Shaw know how much she sucks. A good bit of the hate is stemming from the bio in the game concerning the black Green Lantern and how he's "one of the good ones".

You know the funniest thing about this is, the game released on the 2nd (technically the 1st) day of Black History Month.

Imagine putting this absolute buck breaking out on Nigger Worship Month of all times:

It's so retarded, that it becomes based. The fact that a liberal White woman is behind this is not even surprising, if anything it makes sense just due this alone.

And your life only matters to white liberals if you're a disposable black thug like Saint Floyd or Saint Taylor. Oh yea, don't bnother to make an original Black character because Hollywood won't recognize you unless you race-swap someone else's work (which is also racist af). Let's also not forget how Black men are treated like beta males if they're not these holy-than-thou good guys like the toxic male commercial back in 2019 (Luke Fox in the Batwaman show who was a total bitch even after his "resurrection").

I know that Null is very much tired of the white women hatred but it is kind of hard for people to not hate them given that a majority of male dominated hobbies and spaces have been destroyed by AWFL's (Affluent White Female Liberals) coming into the hobbies and spaces and wanting to turn them into a product for their activisms. I mean, at the Sweet Baby Inc. "Womanize This!" conference 90% of the speakers were white women bitching about men and talking about how they need to change male dominated hobbies and spaces. As much as I am tired of the white women hatred myself it is only going to stop when AWFL's stop invading male spaces and hobbies and demanding that they change to suit them and their sensibilities.

He's fully embraced being in Europe then? Cause between this and his autism about cheese it certainly feels like it.

This is a problem with a lot of media, though. Isn't just relegated to Suicide Squad, although it does present the problem quite well. Franchises are stuck in this limbo of constantly using and reusing the same characters over and over again. Nobody important is allowed to die anymore. Really takes the stakes out of every conflict.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

You have to admit DC is a lot more interesting than Marvel. When Marvel fails it's the same bland meandering cookie cutter esg bullshit that we've all grown apathetic towards. When DC fails on the other hand it is the most batshit crack smoking insane esg decisions that is hard to look away from and endure it's disaster in awe and fascination.

Thats their fetish

Sounds like Amber Heard will be the next Harley Quinn in that case.

The good news is that we may be seeing less of Harley in the future. Rocksteady and Sweet Baby Inc. may have killed Harley as a character. Nobody is going to be wanting to see this bitch in anything for a while after what they had her do to Batman. It is funny how WB and DC tried so hard to push her as the next big female character only for them, in their hubris, to destroy her. Good job WB and DC! Truly a tragedy that rivals the greatest of Greek tragedies.

Doubt it. It may kill the Suicide Squad but Harley isn't going anywhere. I'm surprised they didn't push the lesbian angle harder with Poison Ivy, if anything. She's DC's attempt at Deadpool now, and still the biggest appeal for the BPD women that don't buy their products who they're always trying to appeal to.

And Baldur's Gate didn't cut gameplay corners. They put effort into stuff only 10% or less players would see.
There was even lategame dialog between the unconventional elf paladin and the souleating fiendish berserker, despite being effectively mutually exclusive until a recent patch.

Is it true the narrator lady leans on the fourth wall, princess bride style, like A LOT to humorous effect? I saw she has snarky comments for almost everything you do and literally everything that happens to you. Get burned to death? Yes. Fall in trap? Yes. Killed by a bear? Yes. Even like rube goldberg style feats that happen to you and accidents she supposedly comments on?

The irony about Ivy is that she was part of the original Suicide Squad back in the 80s, a decade before Harley was created. But since they're going by Arkham game plot, of fucking course she isn't 'fully grown' yet. It seriously couldn't have been too difficult to do and get Tasia back to voice her no?

You're trying to make sense of how retards think. Speaking of Tasia Valenza though, you're reminding me of just how sexy they made Ivy back in Asylum, especially during that giant Titan-fueled plant fight, where every time you'd blow her up with the gel, she'd moan in pain but it sounded so sexual I had to turn down the volume. I miss those days.

Not really. She acts like a DM in a table top. Sure, she will have some snarky moments if you fail a dice roll or make a bad decision but those only happen every now and then. Larian is known to put a bit of humor in their games but they make sure that it doesn't go too far. By the way, in case anybody is curious, WotC wanted Sweet Baby Inc. to write and consultant for Baldur's Gate 3 but Larian put their foot down and stated that the game will be written by the studio. While Baldur's Gate 3 does have some cringe moments the game could have been so much worse if Sweet Baby Inc. got their hands on it.

I missed when women looked like women in video games. It is funny how Sweet Baby Inc. and female devs keep saying that they are making the games look "realistic" when female gamers want beautiful characters. Seriously, look at female characters made by female gamers for games like Fallout, Skyrim and Baldur's Gate 3. All those female player characters look like super models. Female gamers have no problem with beautiful, sexy female characters. It is millennial female devs who are now approaching middle age and are envious of younger and beautiful women that have a problem with sexy female characters. This is why they always make the models for female characters ugly as they are jealous of the real life models that were used to model the characters. Another thing that millennial female devs do is throw insults at people liking sexy female characters by calling them a pedophile. As we are seeing with Steller Blade. The Western game industry is filled to the brim with insecure and envious millennial women. Their insecurity and envy is going to bring down the Western game industry.

One of her most underrated roles is Spider Woman in the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance. She perfectly balances snark and seductive in her interpretation. For some reason they decided that in the sequel she needed to be cast with.......EG Daily. Yes. Tommy Pickles himself. Its incredibly jarring.

Quick fix - make Hal Jordan beat the shit out of that fake lantern. But, I guess, dats raisys for modern sensibilities

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

The idea of SS is doing illegal covert work for the government. Once you have them engage in actual heroics there is no point.

It made more sense even if it was reckless. Also more respectful even though it's extremely violent

Pretty ballsy movie by the the way for killing off or brainwashing most of the League by darkside In the first 5 mins and actually exploring the fallout.

That film wasn't bad but suffers from being too edgy, too bat family focused and having an ending that makes the whole thing pointless.

 

[PaladinBoo]

Some tards at the Steam forum did some research on SS sales. It doesn't look good.

Keep in mind that these are the PC sales. As some Steam user has stated:

"This is based off of Steam sales alone. Bare in mind I am not defending this crap, I am just getting that out of the way. Still, the game isn't doing well just looking at Steam sales, since PC is usually the biggest revenue in gaming sales vs other platforms."

She's basically plays the DM, but also does the inner monologue stuff. The murderhobo gets significantly more snark than everyone else.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

Game is already on sale in some places.
Not even a week after release and it is already on sale. How could a game studio fail so bad?

Forspoken and 2022 Saints Row killed their respective studios. Hyenas got cancelled like a week before release after a disastrous beta which had ~120 players. Rocksteady would need a literal suicide squad of their own, as in some of their members taking their own lives, to up the ante.

 

[Commander X]

Yes, Harley Quinn is a money maker for DC, she just kind of ruins the vibe of Suicide Squad, in any medium, in two directions. The 1980s vintage Suicide Squad could be and was funny. Harley Quinn just brings an obnoxious "wacky" 2000s vibe to what should be a more down to earth cast, even when they treat her seriously. It’s also doesn’t help DC made a couple of Squad projects around fighting the Joker. The other part is she kind of makes the Squad less about using weird and even obscure DC stuff including C- and D-list characters and it's been more about trying to make the Squad into an Anti-Hero Justice League. The Suicide Squad should be getting readers/viewers/players/etc. to care about the stuff that DC doesn’t use often, they are never going to have the balls to kill Harley Quinn, in a franchise that should be about characters who are considered expendable.

 

[Kharash]

Been watching some streamfaggot play this. It's hilarious how every time you have to return to the hall of justice you have to walk under that obnoxious monkeypox flag.
Why do they treat the Justice League so badly if they're so fully pozzed anyway?

I'm not sure I've ever seen such a universally-hated game get good reviews just because so few people bought it (and the ones that did are hypershills). Are there any other instances of such a thing happening?

I know that Null is very much tired of the white women hatred

Null is desperately courting and coddling the BPfats in an attempt to quench his loneliness, of course the guy who put the "White Women Fuck Dogs" song on the front page not long ago is now against such defamation.

Saints Row Reboot from last year. The game was pure shit, it was so bad it killed the studio & the franchise. Hell, it was so bad that the disdain of this game literally united a divided community (even Gat Out Of Hell & Agents of Mayhem fans all single digits of them) just to deservedly shit on the game.

Yet it had some shills...
