Rocksteady teases Suicide Squad game

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Incoming cope where they try to reason:

" See?! This is why the death scenes sucked! It was all planned guys! It wasn't us being incompetent! It was a subtle hint that this wasn't the real League! We're not lazy, you're just fucking stupid! "

You know it's coming.
Miller was making that argument before the game even came out... Despite the fact that for the League to be 'resurrected' in the first place as the original leaked audio outright states, that means they really were killed in the first place.
 
I’m not a huge DC or Marvel fan, but I did have friends who had omnibuses as kids like Death of Superman or collections of early Spider-Man stuff. I watched the Bruce Tim cartoon and the Justice League Cartoon partially written by that racist Black guy who got pissed about forum users for calling out his sloppy writing and then died of a heart attack.

The thing that gets me is that you could do an edgy game and have it worked. You could probably keep some of the jokes by editing them past the first draft. If they just went “Alternate Brainwashed League masquerading as the real one as Brainiac tries to get more for his collection” then you could have Boomerang pissing on Dead Alternate Flash in front of real Flash as a petty fuck you that’ll actually land rather than a peeing on the guy who saved you twice and you handed over on a silver platter.

The entire point of the Suicide Squad is plausible deniability for Waller. In a crisis they become the Dirty Dozen where they are given jobs that have high probability of failure for little gains, diversions, or are there to stall for time. You could have had Waller trying to take advantage of a crisis and shit hits the fan forcing her to rely on the Squad to be her scouts/ errand boys. Have Government Heroes like Captain Atom or whoever be in the story to explain why the Brainwashed Justice League are busy. You probably could replace Wonder Woman with Atom and it’d work better, his containment suit breaching would be a better sacrifice.

The issue with the game is that they basically have no real set archetype beyond vague personality quirks that flip flop. Harley is a girl boss, Boomerang is a pathetic white guy who’s the most openly irredeemable, Deadshot can’t have a character beyond doing this for my daughter, and King Shark is Drax. The writing is bad. The benefit of the Squad is you have interplay with their relationship with Waller and what she has against them. If it’s not just their own lives, but their families or a reward that means they’ll do more than malicious compliance. What does Harley really have to live for? Ivy and Joker are dead. Are her Hyenas still alive and she’s just a crazy dog/cat mom and Waller is threatening to put them down?

I could go on. The jokes are bad too. They can never settle on who’s the straight man or who goes for what joke.

Also why is “Missy” the SJW version of bitch or cunt? It’s so toothless.

This is who works for Sweet Baby Inc. This is how they feel about Batman. "He is just some rich, white billionaire. Nobody should look up to him or cry over him." Why the fuck would you have someone like this write for your flagship character? 400 million well spent WB.
Maya Kramer (legobutts) is part of the cancerous indie game circle.
Those who were around Gamergate probably remember her.

Nah, Penguin had them killed and stuffed in Arkham City. Which, surprisingly enough, the writers actually remembered.
I still hate his retarded design with the bottle, but my point was more what are the motivations beyond bomb in head.

Waller in the comics I’ve read and cartoon understood leverage and getting people to work with you. The bombs were just an insurance policy and the sentence was the basic offer, she usually would offer more like a job after getting out, revenge, an actual dinner/ bed, or whatever. She’d also straight up kill people or have someone like Deadshot kill someone once they weren’t needed so she didn’t have to release them per the agreement.

I’m not gonna go criticize gameplay because it’s mediocre. It’s like a beta build of basic gameplay. It’s functional, but barebones. My problem is how they fundamentally fuck shit up. The point of Suicide Squad is that you have redeemable characters interacting with irredeemable scum controlled by the only obese black woman in government who’s not abusing benefits.
 
Synthetic Man weighs in
Wow, Synth is pissed. He stated that this is the worst game he has ever played. I'll like to point out that Griffin, Fleek, and Worth A Buy also said the same thing. It is amazing seeing YouTubers come to the defense of this game when both critics and independent YouTubers have stated that the game is shit. Leads credence to my theory that WB paid some YouTubers off as a form of damage control. Same with the Steam reviews.
 
So Aquaman does exist in this world
The comics meta nerd in me is amused that he didn't make it into the League in this world considering my thoughts he's a solo-book/A-list hero who more properly works as an ensemble hero like Martian Manhunter, which is funny since Arkhamverse was SUPPOSED to be as mainstream DCU or at least as much a consolidation of as many of them as possible into a quintessential whole.

Also would've meant one more boss fight at least in terms of pure gameplay (however shit it'd be). So why they didn't add him in... well, you tell me.
 
Do you think this game will ever be enjoyed ironically?

If it was free, maybe but this is a surprisingly very expensive game and no joke is worth dishing out nearly 100 bucks just to laugh at all the cringe.

There are better unironic jokes in the farms for free.
That's just a fraction. Tweet is still up if anyone wants to lol at the replies letting Shaw know how much she sucks.

Cant wait for her to use these "mean chud" comments to capitalize herself on being a victim.
They thought they could get away with calling John Stewart a race traitor and Uncle Tom. Remember black people, you so much as disagree with a white liberal and you will be villainized and treated as a subhuman. I don't know about you but that sounds really fucking racist.

Liberals are unironically one the most racist mfs I have ever seen. Yes, even more than 4channers because at least with them there is this level of honest self awareness, they know they are racist and they express it so honestly and cheapily that it kind of feels less impactful and significant. Someone calling you nigger there or here is just another insult that just blends with others because, again, its just thrown around so cheapily and you are assumed to not be an insecure bitch to throw a temper tantrum over it.

Liberals,especially online Twitter college types? Holy fuck balls, these are some of the most condescending bigots I have ever seen. Everything they do for minorities almost always comes from a place of bigotry of low expectations. They believe themselves to have earned too much as a society that now they gotta "compensate" towards other nations so they can feel better about themselves. They throw caution and thinking to the wind and still refuse to admit they fucked up. They legit made the world a worse place by believing they could "fix it" because they are just so much better than everyone apparently.

Newsflash, your country is now burning and you still hate yourself. Oopisie?
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.

I already mentioned this on "unpopular opinions about video games" thread but the denial that gaming is a male hobby is one of the many reasons why we are in this shitshow of an industry now. Women CAN enjoy video games the same way men CAN enjoy Barbie (tho needing know that it doesnt originally is meant to appeal to them). Video games were made by usually unpopular outcasts that found comfort and escape in creating games usually based off of board games they played. Video games were never meant to be "cool" to the majority because the majority is fucking petty, dumb, lame and without anything that makes it "special". Now that gaming is a club where everyone is invited, they are starting to say "who let the white male nerds in? They make me uncomfortable, throw them out!" without a hint of self awareness.

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


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.

A serious issue (among many) with modern Harley is that this simply isnt a healthy natural development of her character. Am I the only one that finds it fucked up that they are pairing her with ANOTHER super villain? Are we also going to pretend that Ivy isnt possible one of the most vile villains of Batman? She unironically wants to genocide most if not the entire human race because some of her "babies" are getting hurt (Ivy is a cat plant person with no eggs) but its okay for her to be paired up with Harley because she once took pity on her? And doesnt want her dead too for some reason? Harley doesnt need another relationship with a dangerous person, she needs to leave Gotham and maybe return years later as an actual psychiatrist that treats villains so they can get better (and she is actually good at it since she has experience with what happened with the Joker).

Stop pretending its ok to keep this clearly mentally disturbed woman around equally mentally disturbed individuals.
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.

I miss when she had the whole bakery of goods, Arkham Knight already made her look older and not even in a milf way, just ugly old.

But hey, retards legit unironically unsarcastically believe sexy women somehow ends up leading into rape and toxic masculinity or something.

I dare call it...jealousy. Surely the modern women wouldnt feel threatened by a hotter fictional woman? Right? Prff :lit:
 
Why not just, I don't know, have the original game's plot resolve with you freeing the Justice League from Braniac's control? I know the whole subtitle is killing them, but come on. Was this all supposed to just be some huge narrative rugpull, like someone's going to be sitting on the couch and is utterly blown away by the reveal? I mean, why have you go and do something if the DLC reverses it anyway? Either the player liked that they killed the league and are now upset that what they did was basically pointless, or they're pissed off they killed the league in embarrassing fashion, and they're not going to shell out for whatever story you toss in half a year later.
Reminds me of what they did to Frank West in Dead Rising 4. Then later the DLC saves him from being zombified. Was too late though and the game bombed to the point of regularly going on sale every month for like 75% off.

Lol at Harley creeping on a preteen Poison Ivy.

 
I watched Synth's review and I know that people brought up how disrespectful Boomerang and Harley were to Flash and Batman but Deadshots treatment of Green Lantern was just as bad. Deadshot literally just hates John Stewart for a "crab in the bucket" reason like Synth said. Deadshot hates John just because he is a black man who is a law-abiding space cop which makes him, in Deadshots eyes, a race traitor Uncle Tom. That is it. It maybe one of the most racist things I have ever seen in my life. I am shocked at what progressive writers are able to get away with.

He’s basically turned from a cold killer into a jumped up Gangster. He comments about protecting his rep in a ghetto way.

There is no problem ripping off the previous DC shit for your product. In the Arkham animated movies and the Justice League show Deadshot is a professional where the few moments he does get personal it’s quick.

Also, they fuck up him saying “We’re out on good behavior”. You say that before shooting someone, the point is they can’t respond after you say your line. Take the Benny line from Fallout New Vegas and do what Suicide Squad did. You never get the “Game was rigged from the start” from the perspective of the Courier.

Bit of a detour, but this thread made me go play Arkham Knight. Gotta say they did Batman especially dirty after seeing how the Arkham Trilogy ends. And aside from the Riddler bullshit (just let me fight him after all those damn puzzles, fuck the collectathon) and the fight with Slade that was just a copy of the Cloudburst, the whole game was pretty damn good.

Using Scarecrow's fear toxin to terrify Joker to the point he can be locked away inside Batman's mind is exactly the sort of badass thing Batman would do. Its the one cell the Joker can never escape from. Unless of course Brainiac were to nail Batman with a device that saps his willpower just enough to let Joker run free, even a little....

That would also allow for some actual pathos with Harley and Batman. Hell, you could even have Joker come out and beg Harley to shoot him since he refuses to keep dancing to Brainac's tune.

"Look on the bright side cupcake, even if I don't get to kill Bats, at least you do..."
 
The only reasonable explanation is that the brainwashing made him retarded.
Even that doesn't really make sense because he'd have some ways of resisting the brainwashing in the first place.

Why not just, I don't know, have the original game's plot resolve with you freeing the Justice League from Braniac's control?
Well at that point, why not have the game be BATMAN freeing the League? Everyone actually liked playing as Batman. We're dealing with retards and corpos who don't give a shit.

Harley doesnt need another relationship with a dangerous person, she needs to leave Gotham and maybe return years later as an actual psychiatrist that treats villains so they can get better (and she is actually good at it since she has experience with what happened with the Joker).
What Harley needs and what makes a good story are different. I don't think Harley going normal would really work; having her act as a "grieving widow" suits her character best.

I miss when she had the whole bakery of goods, Arkham Knight already made her look older and not even in a milf way, just ugly old.
I don't know, I thought Ivy still looked pretty good in a "milf" sort of way in Knight. The change in art style from the previous games was a downgrade in her case though.

I always thought it was a metaphor for a large enough dose of the fear toxin acting as a cure for the Joker-Titan prion disease.

Lol, lmao even. the OG appearance of Harley in the animated series it took joker literally fucking dying to quit her life of crime. Every derivative Harley from the comics and the various adaptations completely fucking ignores this because it doesn't fit with the corpo ass "girlboss" shit they're doing to the character.

It's really funny him being dead is what was her wake up call to get her life back on track, only for her fucking grandkids to get into a crime gang themed after her dead ex. Sure it's just a cameo but it's a fucking great one.
 
Take this with a grain of salt, but the Batman Arkham Videos channel just released this video detailing an Easter Egg in this game possibly hinting that Batman will actually return in a future game.

You know, assuming that Rocksteady actually continues existing for that long, and the guy was actually correct when it came to decoding the Easter Egg.
Tl;dr: There's a bunch of calendars spread out throughout the game that have a bunch of random dates circled with the final one's date being marked with a bat. When you order all the dates by month, and then convert the days marked by what letter they would correspond to (ie; Feb 5th=E, and shit), you get the message "HE WILL RETURN".

It is too late though. The damage is done. Rocksteady and Sweet Baby Inc. pissed off too many people that they won't come back. There is not enough Redditor's and soyboys who can save this game no matter how much positive review bombing and cope they do. This game treated DC's flagship characters with such disrespect, especially Batman, that it left people jaded and apathetic towards both the game and Rocksteady. Those are the last things you want gamers to feel when you are trying to sell a live service game. I have a feeling that the game will shut down in less then a year tops.
