This is not surprising at all, game was doomed at conception.

But I thought the game was actually good and there was just a hate train of scary YouTubers pushing a false narrative?

Ouch. I don’t think I’ve read a review that bad before. I’m not surprised though, I played the tutorial of suicide squad and was already disappointed.

It’s like anorexic Adrien Brody as; ‘The Joker’. He looks even less threatening than Leto’s.

No it’s pretty believable. This game looked like shit out of the gate

>As for Joker story content there are exactly two things, a motion comic at the season opening showing him being trapped by Braniac. Then when you rescue him, there is a brief cutscene with him being taken to ARGUS and recruited. He doesn’t even speak to Harley, and she just tells Shark she’s not into “Comedians” anymore. **There is no story mission related to Joker at all.**
So they just created a playable character that you have to unlock by re-beating the game and that’s all he is.
“New season,” by the way.

The most egregious thing to me is the recycled boss fight with Brainiac using Green Lantern’s powers. Every single boss fight with an alternate Brainiac is going to just be a copy of a boss fight you’ve already done.
Like, boss fights in the Arkham series were always a mixed bag, but at least they tried. This is just phoning it in.

All 20 people playing this game still probably don’t care

They’re wrong, I can certainly believe it.

What I hate the most about this is the fact this game stole us the chance to get an actually good Suicide Squad game at some point.
The idea of a Suicide Squad game in the style of the Arkham games is fantastic on paper, but the execution of this was atrocious.

We have Joker at home:

Who asked for this game?

Wtf Joker is that? Is this Arkhamverse or not?

This awful game is where they literally killed the arkham series batman. Kevin Conroys last fucking role as batman was this shit game. Remember that and shun Rocksteady forever.

It’s not a coincidence that aside from them releasing the Joker stuff I haven’t been hearing anything about the game after the initial launch.

Oh no.
Anyways…

Oh man, if only they had hired a story consultant to fix everything during development this could have been avoided

At this point can we just stop giving this game any coverage whatsoever until the inevitable server shutdowns (most likely within the next 6 months)

Call me crazy, but I think it is “Believably bad”, like, did you see the base game? Who the fuck thought it would be even decent?
sirmeliodasdragonsin
Kingshark with a gun being just an apex reskin should have been reason enough to abandon the game
ApeMummy
The article reads like the writer was pissed off that he was forced to play the game, can’t really blame him lol

Whole game is bad

Anyways

So I guess we’ll be seeing this game on PS Plus or Game Pass soon in an attempt to gain a playerbase?
