Easy fix for this stupid scene; King Shark is chosen to be a Red Lantern after finding out a kitty cat he befriended is DEX-STARR
>King Shark is chosen to be a Red Lantern after finding out a kitty cat he befriended is DEX-STARR
Honestly, yeah why not just have a red lantern ring instantly teleport in, having detected the green lantern ring rejection (somehow) and make Shark go nutzo crazy for a bit? Then have another chromatic lantern zap in and rip it off his finger then the TV static plays and the next Robot Chicken sketch plays.
>the people writing for it have no idea what the material is beyond skimming a goddamn wiki.
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down!?

I think the idea is that Brainiac corrupted the ring as well
King Shark absolutely does not have Green Lantern willpower, and some crooks on Earth aren't going to reverse-engineer or overpower the cosmic technology of the Guardians. The game is just moronic and doesn't know the source material.
To think, in this game's universe, nobody had ever thought to shoot guns at the Justice League.
>King Shark absolutely does not have Green Lantern willpower
How do you know? How big is the willpower of a Green lantern anyway
>I think the idea is that Brainiac corrupted the ring as well
Not established, and if that were the case, King Shark would be infected. But John shouldn't even be able to use his ring in this state, so frick everything. None of it makes sense
The ring specifically chooses whoever in that sector of space as more willpower than literally everyone else unless the current Green Lantern purposely gives you their ring.
In the comics, the ring would have literally just flown away to find whoever currently has the most Willpower in the sector.
Haven't played the game nor will. That's kinda dumb as shit but I also at least appreciate it fact the construct was coming to kill them afterwards. It felt more like the ring was taking control of Shark than Shark taking control of the ring.
So, what's exactly the idea behind's Strong's weird random raspy grunts she does while talking as Harley? Is she trying to sound annoying and grating?
Also KS would work out with Red Lantern maybe this is just pure moronic writing.

It runs on The Boys logic where the protagonists have moronic levels of plot armor so they could defeat enemies way above their pay grade in the most contrived and boring ways possible. Obviously that doesn't look convincing to anyone with a functioning brain.
At least The Boys has the excuse of the heroes being moronic, incompetent and too busy getting high or laid to notice what the Boys are doing most of the time.

Anyone got the moon girl panel where the teacher tells her she can be anything and she gets mad saying something like "youre supposed to tell me im a dumb brat so I can get mad and prove you wrong"?
The entire game feels like a collobaration between Robert Kirkman and Justin Roiland in that its a spiteful, subversive deconstruction made by people who hate the medium, either outright or internally.
Who is this game for..? Legitimately what is the target audience? This is probably the least liked video game I've ever seen that released in a playable state.
Hell even some people liked the shitty batfamily game, but NOBODY likes this thing.
I mean from what I've seen/heard this suicide squad game is relatively playable for a modern AAA release. Major complaints against it are that it's boring and dumb, not unplayable.

The fact that we reached a point where an actual praise people give to the game is "It actually runs on my $500 console, at 60fps at launch!"... And even then, the performances is having issues on PC as far as I understand. Subtle, but even then, it's having issues there as well.
It was quite literally, word for word, unplayable on release day.
Oh, no it launch day. Just the "pre-release" for those who bought the $100 edition... I swear, you can't make this shit up, in regards modern AAA games, anymore.
You new to cape comics? Everyone once in a while, the editorials and comic creators decides to piss everyone off. It's just this time they decided to use a game format.
Isn't it usually a Marvel thing?
My reading of the situation was always >Marvel is actively malicious, DC is clueless and plain moronic and have no fricking idea what they're even doing
Lol DC has been pissing people off since 2011. They took a six month break in late 2016 early 2017 and then immediately went back to pissing everyone off for that last 7 years.

Not really though? It’s been passible. I didn’t say it was GOOD, but passible. They get the basic principles right (not always) like Batman is a skilled detective, Superman strongest hero, Wonder Woman a warrior goddess. SSKJL is the BVS tier of movies, but there’s still some things you can enjoy.
Comics on the other hand, are dead and a marketing ploy for short term anger sales. Their strategy is to make you as angry as possible, but that isn’t their goal outside of that. Like the movies, if it sucks it wasn’t the intention because they risk loving millions of dollar.

Fortnite audience with a capeshit skin. If they tried an original IP it would've bombed. Stuff that involves swearing, and evil or douchey versions of the JL (Boys, Injustice, Snyder, Invincible) and Fortnite is popular now among the Gen Z and millenial crowd. You are seeing the apex of all of these things thrown into one, giant gutter-oil soup.
I agree but that doesn't stop out-of-touch shareholders and corpos from trying to milk those trends. Disney I'm sure, wishes they created Pokemon. Both WB, Microsoft, Amazon etc wish they could've created Fortnite. Prior to the buyout of Activision, Candy Crush's revenue likely made every other company egregiously upset. Everyone just wants to milk whatever trend normies are into regardless of quality or love.
>Hell even some people liked the shitty batfamily game, but NOBODY likes this thing.
There's people desperately trying to convince themselves that this is a good game and "prove the haters wrong" or whatever, but even the most generous reviews amount to >the gameplay loop is incredibly boring and repetitive >there's about 2 hours of gameplay stretched over 10 hours of story, and then they expect you to play the same missions over and over for eternity as they trickle in new characters and seasonal weapon gimmicks >all the characters have unique movement gimmicks but otherwise combat is nothing but "shoot purple weak point with guns" >all the boss fights fricking suck >story ends on a cliffhanger >facial animations and overall presentation is mostly good, but full of bad dialog and an inconsistent, sometimes insulting low-brow tone
It's one of those games that players will get a 10/10 to skew the review metrics, just so they don't feel bad about paying 70-100+ USD, but really what they're describing is a 6/10 game at best, from one of the larger media companies in the world and a studio that has made excessively better games in the past. There's no excuse to defend it.

I brought up Ennis, as in how much he seethes at superheroes to usually kill them off in pathetic and humiliating ways so his edgy leather-wearing OCs look extra-cool. Not that he writes superheroes as psychopaths. Hell, if this was an evil alt. Justice League or Crime Syndicate rather than brainwashed heroes, it'd be less moronic somewhat. So I guess it actually exceeds Ennis in that regard.
I feel like it was something in development for so long that they lost sight of a good core product, like that 30 Rock bit where they brainstorm a microwave so much they end up with a car in the end. Really needed some oversight for someone to go "what the hell is this, guys?"

the sad part about all this is you can blatantly lie on Cinemaphile and get away with it because there are people who actually think this place is a reliable source of information. thats how Q happened.
Saw one today with something like 0.5 hours, negative of course. Read something like "Quit after Harlequin's [sic] tutorial."
If they'll allow that absolute nothing of a review, I'd hate to see what they removed.
The ring always chooses its wearer. It can't be put on by just anyone.
Even if you set all the rules aside, any Green Lantern fan knows that the ring always resizes itself to fit the wearer, whether you're the size of a bacteria or a planet. I don't think I've seen anyone point that out but the fact that the creators got something as simple as that wrong really shows that they're not fans of the material.
We dare to have hope that maybe the Arkham canon, for being self isolated on a videogame, would be safe. And somehow, they manage to destroy even that, in every possible way, both narratively, conceptually, and even mechanically, in a single move. It's kind of impressive on it's own way.
I think the fact that the logs say Paradise Island, a place with a 100% woman population, a queen and still has blacksmiths, is the bastion of how to solve toxic masculinity, a perfect democracy and doesn't have stagnant technology.
Seriously, the "Hero Log" on Wondie is probably the biggest feminist dick duck I've ever read from a video game. What's worse is that the log is supposed to be written by Lex Luthor, a man who hates everyone that isn't on the same level of self indulgent narcissism as he is.
Green lantern isn't dead. The whole league is still alive and set to reassemble and stop brainiac according to the leaks
>Oops everyone is refunding our shit game. Quick, lie and tell everyone the heroes aren't actually dead! Tell them there are plans to show they survived!
Frick off you stupid monkey.
This info has been known before the game even releases. As far back as when they released that alpha demo and dataminers got their hands on it. So how about instead of being a reactionary moron and research before hand. I'm just explaining why the ring didn't fly off
[...] >Oops everyone is refunding our shit game. Quick, lie and tell everyone the heroes aren't actually dead! Tell them there are plans to show they survived!

The funny thing about this game is that you don't really need to engage with the looter shooter shit as much as in other games. I used mostly the same loot up until the end and never once ran into a wienerblock whereas in other looter games if you're not upgrading your loot every few levels the game just hands you your ass. I'm pretty sure the fact that this game has no gear score or item level or stupid shit like that saves it from becoming a slog of constantly chasing gear just to beat the story.

Rocksteady used to make great games. Making a "decent shooter" where you brainlessly shoot at purple zits over and over in bland copy-paste missions is not something that should be shrugged off with "it's not THAT bad actually!"
That's like saying the nuTrilogy of movies aren't that bad. >They've got a whole story. A beginning, middle, and end. They have characters with dialog! The special effects and costumes look okay! The hate is just so overblown, though!

Correct
But this game is, in fact, awful.
>brainwashing rerun
Here is an idea. What not use the other rerun idea of the multiverse, and send the suicide squad to go kill an alternative justice league. Like the crime syndicate or the nazi justice league. Then a cliffhanger would make sense.
Why are people on Cinemaphile trying to make this game seem divisive? No one likes it.
I can understand if you don’t want to do multiverse stuff at all but why would you introduce it and not have the crime syndicate be the actual villains
Because Waller made the suicide squad to deal with threats to her own universe, and if an evil Justice League invaded their universe then the local Justice League would be the one dealing with it.
Or instead of the multiverse, send the suicide squad to take out the Jihad with the reveal that Qurac's President Marlo is being manipulated by Kobra into trying to provoke the United States into another forever war with the Middle East in a bid to kick start the Kali Yuga.
It's not only illegal, it's impossible. When a lantern dies the ring flies off his finger and looks for a new owner. It doesn't just hang in there to be found by any butthole. The ring has its own AI, can fly by itself faster than a plane or rocket, do complex maneuvers with pinpoint turns and become intangible.
The game was written by Sweet Baby Inc., that's all you need to know.
Also,

>he talks abut how her gynocentric society is perfect and should be seen as an example to Earth, and he complains about how toxic masculinity is one of the greatest issues of our society
Anon, be real. Do you seriously think that Lex Luther would ever say any of this?
Honestly they should have had Lex say some shit like >While the rabble see a utopia, the more intellectual observe a backwards society lacking the masculine ambition to move past the bronze age, not to mention their insistence in worshiping long outdated gods (probably because they lose all reason every month for a week)
and yeah, he probably wouldn’t go full incel but him seething about an alleged perfect society (because how can it be "perfect" without a Lex Luthor in it?) makes more sense than him slobbering on their metaphorical wieners while still pushing a feminist agenda (because look at this pathetic MAN seething over a society of successful WOMEN)
It's weird that they treat him like a moronic child (like he is in the movie) even though he's the most intelligent and eloquent member of the group for some fricking reason.
Because hes based off a species of fish that has to survive by constantly swimming and didn't evolve to be any smarter than a newborn child. Also he eats people.
You have to think in terms of lowest common denominator logic. People associate animals with a lack of intelligence (even though humans are animals) so any humanoid with animal traits is immediately lumped into a subhuman category.
To be fair they play him like Drax, he's well spoken and experienced but he also lacks situational awareness and cultural references fly over his head especially for a crew of tryhard criminals. Like when he didn't get "Bobs your Uncle" and kept trying to figure out what they meant by that.
This really goes to the issue Suicide Squad has been happening since the movie, they desperately want it to be DC's GotG but can only do it the most superficial of ways.
>that has to survive by constantly swimming
That was found to not be true, some species can remain stationary due to some things like the ability to push water over their gills and great whites figured out how to just position themselves face-first into currents while they sleep
they wrote it like that for comedic effect because normies love it
Something about the way these cutscenes are shot, framed, choreographed is just inherently unappealing and amateurish. It's anti-cinematic. Hell, you wouldn't probably even get something shot as poorly as this on even the cheapest TV show.
I can't believe this is what passes for a AAA game with years of delays and development in 2024.
The thing I hated most about those cut scenes are how the characters just 'wobble' back and forth in their idle positions. Deadshot has it the worst, he looks so goofy it's uncanny.
yeah but nobody here has played the game or done anything besides see a screenshot or read twitter so youre stupid and this game makes me mad and cry and shit my pants because they made batgod a little b***h who gets shot in the face lol
I’m a causal so I’m probably wrong but Green Lantern rings are either suppose to fly back to Oa after their users demise or fly off to find another user with great willpower. You can’t just loot Lantern rings off dead Lanterns and use it for yourself. Also pretty sure the Green Lantern ring has a no kill policy so it should’ve flown off when GL was using it to serve Brainiac, unless it was reprogrammed or some shit as to not alert the Guardians.
Since they're doing Elseworlds and multiverse shit, it's hard to say that anyone is actually dead or if anyone they kill is actually the "real" version of whoever they killed or if it was all and asspull twist that the evil Brianiac'd JLA members were just convenient clones or whatever. It's peak contrived writing for a shitty game that has so little to offer that it treats copy-pasting encounters and lootboxes as unlimited content
Nah go look into the leaks. They are the real JL, they get revived due to brainiac frickery but later on get cured. The only multiversal aspect so far is joker and mrs.freeze. Everyone else is legit Arkham verse
from what I've seen of this game GL never kills anyone on screen, I don't know if he ever kills anyone off screen although he did threaten to kill deadshot
it seems like his role is capturing people
Shit, in the second animated movie where the Reverse Flash was one of the villains, it was even a plot point that something weird was going on because he didn't outrun their RV and murder them all in half a second.
The game can crash and burn for all I care, but I have a question about GL rings so I'm going to ask it.
It's supposed to be reliant on will power but I don't remember anyone being too weak-willed to use it.
>It's supposed to be reliant on will power but I don't remember anyone being too weak-willed to use it.
Because the only people who have used them are superheroes who have had it personally handed to them by a GL and generally in soft canon or event situations. Also will power just dictates how effective you will be not if you can use it or not.
The problem with this is that GL rings leave their dead user and find the closest worthy user or return to Oa, flying faster than king shark would ever be able to catch. Again, you sound like exactly the type of loser they hire in these writers rooms. Far too defensive and not at all concerned with your own lack of knowledge as a casual. Have some fricking shame you homosexual and stop speaking defiantly about things you know nothing about.
That’s not actually in the game, that’s some damage control rumor floating around.
I think that Anon was agreeing with you about the scene but for different reasons. Dunno why you're so hostile.
also from reading the thread it sounds like it's not a standard GL ring
They very obviously weren’t agreeing.

Funny how “that” anon disappeared when you started posting.
It might be subtle foreshadowing that the League are actually warped Brainiac clones. There’s actually a lot for evidence for that in game >Not only does Shark use the ring (which should be impossible) but after he takes it off it just plops in the river instead of flying off like usual >also despite allegedly dying, GL’s constructs stay up which is double impossible >there’s a unfunny bit about Boomerang cutting off one of Flash’s fingers right before he’s captured and teleported to Brainiac by Batman (Boomerang even shows Wonder Woman the finger in question) but then when we see Flash post-brainwashing he still has all his fingers >when Batman is being examined by Earth-2 Lex he says something like "Huh, Batman’s dna is super weird and fricked up now, how odd" >Superman shrugs off being stabbed with a giant chunk of Kryptonite to the chest which makes zero sense and is regarded as impossible even in-universe >Brainiac keeps making an awkward distinction between "MY Justice League" and "YOUR Justice League" >also there’s leaked dialogue about Flash being brought back and needed to recuperate
Of course most of that stuff like the finger or the constructs could also be explained by them just not giving a shit about continuity and poor writing , especially considering the game never really focuses on any of this stuff nor does it make the rest of the story less obnoxious to sit through. Plus, even if they actually bring the all JL back, the game is still a generic live service looter shooter.
Between this and the Harley Quinn show it feels like WB is just greenlighting a bunch of watered down normie safe DC bullshit that outright is framed as a middle finger to fans. Everything reeks of half assed wiki research.
And it was fricking stupid and everyone called it out as being inaccurate as hell, so I’ll go with what the clarification is currently. Lantern rings are not easily replicated nor can they be hacked. It choosing King Shark is ridiculous too
I believe they mention the rings in the game are not being programed by the guardians anymore so the rings basically became guns anyone can use and no longer do the shit they usually do like flying back to their planet or looking for a new user, etc. not sure about the other lantern ring tho.
>the rings in the game are not being programed by the guardians anymore
That makes absolutely no sense. Without a central battery the individual batteries cannot be powered and thus the rings cannot be charged.
I didn't make the game, that's just how they explain it. also probably someone else is running the battery since the guardians are all dead now (in the game), just like how all the other lantern corps run their own central battery.

Is it me or does EVERYTHING feel like it was twisted to fit this stupid premise and game style?
Yea, It feels like everything was twisted to fit the initial premise. As in anything that came up that might contradict their first idea was ignored or brushed off. The ring, Harley's personality in previous games, Deadshot already being in previous Arkham, Batman lore and being white.Batmans story throughout the games. It's this "need" for this to be tied to the Arkham games but none of the willingness to make the effort to write around preexisting lore. So it's all this other dimension, those guys are gone, cheap quick explanations because they don't want to be bothered with it.
Squirrel Girl was like this, the new Runaways was like this America (Chavez) was like this. There's a type of writer that doesn't like past installments of something and instead of writing through it to get events or characters into a place they'd like them to be they just write dialogue that explains away the problem.
It's not even just twisting to "fit" Arkham canon, it's the fact that they get so much basic DC shit wrong for the sake of having a GaaS shooter. I'll give a good example; the squad covering themselves with Gold Kryptonite so they can fight/shoot Superman with normal weapons. Do I even need to explain how many things are wrong with this sentence?
To be fair, in your example, they were actually shooting him with Gold Kryptonite bullets as well (Harley and Captain Boomerang haul two containers of gold K, one of them was filled with the stuff they tape to themselves, the other was full of bullets). Them strapping the gold K to themselves was narratively to prevent Superman from punching or flying through them (ignoring the fact that he just ends up punching you to death anyway in the death animation)

Anon that's just worse. You know why? Green, the most common form of Kryptonite, is incredibly rare to begin with. Gold is a 100x more scarce than all the other variations combined, and to have that much for this plot is asinine. It's written as such because gold permanently depowers Clark to human similar to Red Sun Energy.
So not only is it incredibly stupid for those lore reasons, but every one of them likely has cancer now due to Kryptonite still being radioactive.
>It's not even just twisting to "fit" Arkham canon,
No dude, what I'm saying is they really didn't get Arkham canon any more right than they did basic DC shit. They made all this effort to "PROMOTE" that this game was happening in the Arkhamverse but then they just change shit anyway. They didn't comic lore right and then they couldn't be bothered to stick to Arkham lore without these bullshit changes. THEY FRICKED UP ON EVERY CONCEIVABLE LEVEL.
I know, I'm merely saying it's WORSE than just trying to staple it to the Arkham brand for a sales boost. They get basic DC lore wrong, all just so this looter shooter can exist

I believe in the comics Lex created synthetic gold kryptonite, but it's weaker and can only temporarily depower Kryptonians. Not that I think anyone at Rocksteady actually read any of the comics.
>every one of them likely has cancer now due to Kryptonite still being radioactive
Waller's going to kill them all anyway so sadly none of them will live long enough to be ravaged by cancer.

You don’t understand how it works then. It weakens them because they draw their power from the yellow sun. The irradiated kryptonite draws that power from them.
Also kryptonite is poisonous over a long period. It effected Lex when he walked around wearing a Kryptonite ring.

Neither of those anons but you're making an issue out of nothing. It's a pretty simple concept to grasp >Green Kryptonite is highly irradiated debris of what remans of Krypton, created after the cataclysmic explosion >It is volatile to nearly every form of life, slowly killing them or giving them cancer >Superman is no different in this respect, only difference being the rate it affects him. It is faster for him because his cells are designed to soak up energy.

OK I get what you're saying.
I think that, 1, I don't know why DC/Marvel don't hire and loan out guys that are just knowledgeable on lore or create some kind of indexed/cross referenced database so people using their brands can just look up relevant info. But when you're talking about the scope of DC lore and let's use that other anons example, how many different types of kryptonite and their individual effects and scarcity, I get that might be looked over or that like I said you need someone whose job specifically is "fact" checker. But to be unable or unwilling to spend a day or two watching the cut scenes from old games and looking at character bios so that you frick that up too. It goes from confusing continuity mistakes or old lore that hasn't been mentioned in 30+ years to just lazy or spiteful towards the product itself.

And 2, If making a looter shooter was the main goal, better properties and characters than SS exist in DC lore to do that. Maybe because of the movies, but the movies weren't even that popular or at least didn't do that well. So I have a hard time wrapping my head around it all just being for the sake of being a looter shooter. It really seems like the type gameplay and the mistakes they've made had nothing to do with each other. like they would have slapped looter shooter to any idea that they came to them with. We want to make a Plasticman game and we were thinking it... MAKE IT A LOOTER SHOOTER, that's where the money is.

The story of Destiny and it's "failures" has little to do with being looter shooters and more to do with corporate frickery and given that the game is still around and getting new content how can it possibly be a failure? >the division 2 is irrelevant
Maybe but 10 million sold copies is a failure now?
I didn't say destiny is a failure I said it's failing, I didn't say division 2 was a failure either, the point I'm making is that looter shooters as a genre isn't looking too healthy right now

This mistakes in kryptonite and ring can be acceptable as rule for this reality if the story is atleast ok.

Funny how despite being so inconsistent he is usually either the best character or only good character sometimes wherever he shows up, King Shark is just always solid.
This. The Guardians are paranoid old frickers that want a monopoly on their superweapon for obvious reasons, both for galactic safety and to avoid past frickups like The Manhunters. It's not even the fact that John is compromised, but the risk of Brainiac obtaining one for his collection/study. Rings should not only flee, but self-destruct given their basic AI. Only reason why they haven't done so in the past when fighting Brainiac is because The Guardians allow Hal n Pals a chance to fight but won't provide additional support
Not that anon but I'll step in to explain the difference. Parallax, the embodiment of the yellow light of fear, was imprisoned in the central power battery because it was one of the few things in existence that could contain it. However the flaw in this prison was infecting their main computer and power source for ALL power rings for the Green Lanterns. It's like saving a self-aware computer virus behind firewalls on your home network. It chose Hal as a means of escape and a vessel.
Brainiac's code is foreign in every respect, and ring AI would either try to fight off the hack, escape, or self-destruct
Simple, the presence of Harley Quinn means the standard rules and power scaling of the DC universe don't apply. Here she is buying a ring off Ebay after two guys accidentally fused together a red and black lantern ring by spilling milk on them.
Devil's advocate: what if King Shark just has a shitload of willpower? It's not that strange considering just about Justice Leaguer has also worn a power ring at least once.
Doesn’t he straight up eat people all the time and you think he has will power? Is like watching a fat guy wear a a green lantern ring not getting the irony.
>a dozen human beings can be Green Lanterns >a leprechaun can be a Green Lantern >math equations can be Green Lanterns >creatures without the concept of vision can be Green Lanterns >amebas, viruses, and protozoa can be Green Lanterns
It's really strange you draw the line at talking sharks when half of what I listed don't even have the concept of "willpower" and they're in GL books all the time.
But the part you’re leaving out is character, not what they are on the outside
They do have willpower as they're clearly sapient even if they don't abide by normal humanoid anatomy, evolution etc. What people are baffled by is that a buff humanoid shark man took an alien artifact with a fail safe after murdering its owner.
>the ring wouldn't have picked him!
Sinestro, Yalan Gur, and Tomar-Tu are dickheads are were still chosen.
Anon you have to remember that current day Sinestro wasn't always that way. After years of frustration and resentment, Thaal thought he knew better than The Guardians because he felt they weren't solving anything. The ring originally was right to choose him.

The ring only chose him cause he willingly let the green lantern who wielded it die. He could've saved him, but chose not to

That’s not how it works homosexual. It’s not mjolnir willpower doesn’t make you “worthy”. The ring chooses its wearer. Willpower just dictates how well they’ll wield it.
It's a different Joker from another universe's Suicide Squad. Apparently, he's all introspective and trying to find his place in the world and likes to fly around with a rocket-powered mechanical umbrella.
Why do Lantern Rings need to be charged by batteries if the emotion they correlate with give them power? Is it like will/rage/fear act a conduit between the users imagination and the power of the ring?
A regular, garden variety user can only channel their emotions into the pure energy of the spectrum by so much. The power batteries not only serve as a reliable source of fuel for their rings, but also a check and balance system to keep Lanterns on a leash. Hal, Atrocitus, and Larfleeze are the exceptions, and are essentially power batteries themselves given their experiences and mental focus.
Your phone can take amazing pictures if you use your skill and creativity to set up the perfect shot, but you still need to charge the phone's battery. It doesn't run on creativity.

It's not like that at all. Ollie was only permitted to use the ring because rings are self aware, and a longtime friend of Hal. Not only that, but King Shark's construct is a lot more powerful/complex than it should be
This is just a teardown of something people love, done by dysfunctional people who only love themselves and hold a grudge against normal, sane people. In a just world, these loons would be DENIED employment just because they're not normal, instead of being celebrated for it. They would be eating snack ramen and crying about their college costs to an uncaring world, not getting gig after gig, and shit-talking legit criticism on social media. This is cultural warfare and this company and it's employees deserve poverty.
he does call green lantern one of the good ones though which might help turn even the normies against the game since they're too stupid to understand the context of that description
there's no way rocksteady will ever recover from this so they are probably going the way of the dodo just like volition did after nu-saints row.
Some of the old devs made a new studio, I forgot their new name, but i doubt they will release anything soon.
Sad to see that this will be the end of bahman games, we could hae had batman beyond and superman games.
It's probably just a generic skin, like his superman one.
look it up on youtube
he kills jon, takes the ring, and summons a giant green shark
I don't get why he lost control.
Because this game is fricking moronic on several levels, and the people writing for it have no idea what the material is beyond skimming a goddamn wiki.
Easy fix for this stupid scene; King Shark is chosen to be a Red Lantern after finding out a kitty cat he befriended is DEX-STARR
>King Shark is chosen to be a Red Lantern after finding out a kitty cat he befriended is DEX-STARR
Honestly, yeah why not just have a red lantern ring instantly teleport in, having detected the green lantern ring rejection (somehow) and make Shark go nutzo crazy for a bit? Then have another chromatic lantern zap in and rip it off his finger then the TV static plays and the next Robot Chicken sketch plays.
>skimming a goddamn wiki.
You give them far too much credit.
>the people writing for it have no idea what the material is beyond skimming a goddamn wiki.
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down!?
I think the idea is that Brainiac corrupted the ring as well
>King Shark absolutely does not have Green Lantern willpower
How do you know? How big is the willpower of a Green lantern anyway
>I think the idea is that Brainiac corrupted the ring as well
Not established, and if that were the case, King Shark would be infected. But John shouldn't even be able to use his ring in this state, so frick everything. None of it makes sense
>How big is the willpower of a Green lantern anyway
No one knows. Hal doesn't even know what willpower really is.
The ring specifically chooses whoever in that sector of space as more willpower than literally everyone else unless the current Green Lantern purposely gives you their ring.
In the comics, the ring would have literally just flown away to find whoever currently has the most Willpower in the sector.
Nope
Haven't played the game nor will. That's kinda dumb as shit but I also at least appreciate it fact the construct was coming to kill them afterwards. It felt more like the ring was taking control of Shark than Shark taking control of the ring.
The ring wouldn't do that
Can Power Rings even create sentient constructs?
I vaguely remember Kyle doing it once, or something like it.
But that's Kyle so he was probably just doing the voice as a goof or high on Ion juice.
The orange ones can.
>The orange ones
The frick you mean orange "ones"? There's only one orange power ring, that's the whole point.
And no, Lex Luthor's doesn't count.
So, what's exactly the idea behind's Strong's weird random raspy grunts she does while talking as Harley? Is she trying to sound annoying and grating?
Also KS would work out with Red Lantern maybe this is just pure moronic writing.
King Shark absolutely does not have Green Lantern willpower, and some crooks on Earth aren't going to reverse-engineer or overpower the cosmic technology of the Guardians. The game is just moronic and doesn't know the source material.
To think, in this game's universe, nobody had ever thought to shoot guns at the Justice League.
It runs on The Boys logic where the protagonists have moronic levels of plot armor so they could defeat enemies way above their pay grade in the most contrived and boring ways possible. Obviously that doesn't look convincing to anyone with a functioning brain.
At least The Boys has the excuse of the heroes being moronic, incompetent and too busy getting high or laid to notice what the Boys are doing most of the time.
I really would have preferred a The Boys game.
Only if it rapes the source material and pisses Ennis off.
Pissing people off is a must with Rocksteady.

Its not one of their rings. Its not even a real ring
It's hacking their tech. She's somehow compromised a Power Battery. That's a problem.

Anyone got the moon girl panel where the teacher tells her she can be anything and she gets mad saying something like "youre supposed to tell me im a dumb brat so I can get mad and prove you wrong"?

In the silver age there was a common criminal who stole hal jordan's ring and used it to commit crimes. It's not that crazy.
And Penguin used a power ring in The Batman. It might have been a yellow one though.
The entire game feels like a collobaration between Robert Kirkman and Justin Roiland in that its a spiteful, subversive deconstruction made by people who hate the medium, either outright or internally.
I once again find myself asking the question
Who is this game for..? Legitimately what is the target audience? This is probably the least liked video game I've ever seen that released in a playable state.
Hell even some people liked the shitty batfamily game, but NOBODY likes this thing.
What about Saints Row reb--
>playable state
Oooh, nevermind.
I mean from what I've seen/heard this suicide squad game is relatively playable for a modern AAA release. Major complaints against it are that it's boring and dumb, not unplayable.
It was quite literally, word for word, unplayable on release day.
The fact that we reached a point where an actual praise people give to the game is "It actually runs on my $500 console, at 60fps at launch!"... And even then, the performances is having issues on PC as far as I understand. Subtle, but even then, it's having issues there as well.
Oh, no it launch day. Just the "pre-release" for those who bought the $100 edition... I swear, you can't make this shit up, in regards modern AAA games, anymore.
You new to cape comics? Everyone once in a while, the editorials and comic creators decides to piss everyone off. It's just this time they decided to use a game format.
Isn't it usually a Marvel thing?
My reading of the situation was always
>Marvel is actively malicious, DC is clueless and plain moronic and have no fricking idea what they're even doing
Lol DC has been pissing people off since 2011. They took a six month break in late 2016 early 2017 and then immediately went back to pissing everyone off for that last 7 years.
this is what really confuses me, mainstream DC has been shit for such a long time so I'm not even surprised
people are going to be b***hing about DC doing DC things until they're old and gray
>mainstream DC has been shit
Not really though? It’s been passible. I didn’t say it was GOOD, but passible. They get the basic principles right (not always) like Batman is a skilled detective, Superman strongest hero, Wonder Woman a warrior goddess. SSKJL is the BVS tier of movies, but there’s still some things you can enjoy.
Comics on the other hand, are dead and a marketing ploy for short term anger sales. Their strategy is to make you as angry as possible, but that isn’t their goal outside of that. Like the movies, if it sucks it wasn’t the intention because they risk loving millions of dollar.
Dude, you know jack dick about comics and its apparent. Marvel does the frequent outrage bait these days
Marvel who? I don’t give a flying frick about what Marvel is doing. I’m talking about DC homosexual.
When's the last intentional rage-inducing thing DC did? I mentioned Marvel because it's more applicable to what you're talking about. Just look at Spider-Man these days

>Fortnite audience with a capeshit skin.
Which is moronic to try and do, since Fortnite already has capeshit skins.
I agree but that doesn't stop out-of-touch shareholders and corpos from trying to milk those trends. Disney I'm sure, wishes they created Pokemon. Both WB, Microsoft, Amazon etc wish they could've created Fortnite. Prior to the buyout of Activision, Candy Crush's revenue likely made every other company egregiously upset. Everyone just wants to milk whatever trend normies are into regardless of quality or love.

It's one of those games that players will get a 10/10 to skew the review metrics, just so they don't feel bad about paying 70-100+ USD, but really what they're describing is a 6/10 game at best, from one of the larger media companies in the world and a studio that has made excessively better games in the past. There's no excuse to defend it.
This is for the breed of casuals who hate superheroes for being too goofy but enjoy Harley Quinn.
so women?
Women don't usually enjoy over-the-top violence like that, or shooters in general.
yeah, but they love tortureporn movies like hostel or those weird revenge fantasy movies they make a billion of for female audiences
>weird revenge fantasy
Aren't those usually "the villain is a substitute for my ex with the extra rape/abuse thrown in so he seems like a cartoonishly evil exaggeration that's far more vile than he really was"
That's kind of a far cry from Ennis-tier seething at superheroes.
Might want to re-read what you wrote, cause for whatever reason people that write Ennis-tier "evil" superhero pisstakes always focus on specifically making them women-hating rapists/abusers
I brought up Ennis, as in how much he seethes at superheroes to usually kill them off in pathetic and humiliating ways so his edgy leather-wearing OCs look extra-cool. Not that he writes superheroes as psychopaths. Hell, if this was an evil alt. Justice League or Crime Syndicate rather than brainwashed heroes, it'd be less moronic somewhat. So I guess it actually exceeds Ennis in that regard.
or other women that unintentionally spite them
They only like her because they are sexually turned on at the thought of mentally unstable, violent white girls.
I feel like it was something in development for so long that they lost sight of a good core product, like that 30 Rock bit where they brainstorm a microwave so much they end up with a car in the end. Really needed some oversight for someone to go "what the hell is this, guys?"
>Really needed some oversight for someone to go "what the hell is this, guys?"

he read some schizo spreading lies. The og poster spreading the rumor said the game had 7k-12k reviews and no game gets reviews in the numbers of more than half its playercount. Not to mention you can quite literally go on steam data websites and see for yourself the peak number of reviews.
the sad part about all this is you can blatantly lie on Cinemaphile and get away with it because there are people who actually think this place is a reliable source of information. thats how Q happened.
Saw one today with something like 0.5 hours, negative of course. Read something like "Quit after Harlequin's [sic] tutorial."
If they'll allow that absolute nothing of a review, I'd hate to see what they removed.
>Every thread hits bump limit and it's filled with people brainlessly posting about how bad everything is
Comments about Sweet Baby involvment are just filler, and everybody should flag those posts for being off-topic.
>Robert Kirkman
Kirkman fricking loves superheroes
I think a better comparison would be Garth Ennis instead of Kirkman
As long as your will is strong enough, that's the most basic criteria.
The ring always chooses its wearer. It can't be put on by just anyone.
Even if you set all the rules aside, any Green Lantern fan knows that the ring always resizes itself to fit the wearer, whether you're the size of a bacteria or a planet. I don't think I've seen anyone point that out but the fact that the creators got something as simple as that wrong really shows that they're not fans of the material.
they wanted the "lmao it barely fits on his pinkie" gag
It has been put on by non GLs before
Is there anyone still a fan of DC that asks for "logic" or "consistency" in the storylines?
We dare to have hope that maybe the Arkham canon, for being self isolated on a videogame, would be safe. And somehow, they manage to destroy even that, in every possible way, both narratively, conceptually, and even mechanically, in a single move. It's kind of impressive on it's own way.
I think the fact that the logs say Paradise Island, a place with a 100% woman population, a queen and still has blacksmiths, is the bastion of how to solve toxic masculinity, a perfect democracy and doesn't have stagnant technology.
what are you, sexist?
Paradise Island is a remote preserve filled with immortals who don't age. It isn't a good example of anything realistic.
Seriously, the "Hero Log" on Wondie is probably the biggest feminist dick duck I've ever read from a video game. What's worse is that the log is supposed to be written by Lex Luthor, a man who hates everyone that isn't on the same level of self indulgent narcissism as he is.
Do they explain why the brainwashing cant be undone besides the title of the game?
It does get undone, there are leaks of the flash being cured floating around
>Oops everyone is refunding our shit game. Quick, lie and tell everyone the heroes aren't actually dead! Tell them there are plans to show they survived!
Frick off you stupid monkey.
This info has been known before the game even releases. As far back as when they released that alpha demo and dataminers got their hands on it. So how about instead of being a reactionary moron and research before hand. I'm just explaining why the ring didn't fly off
Who fricking cares
The league being alive or dead means nothing because the game itself sucks
Do you actually give a shit about the plot of a looter shooter?
I like sunset overdrive which this plays like and I like DC so yea I do. Get off the circle jerk for a few seconds man, a looter shooter doesn't automatically mean bad. Borderlands is acclaimed for a reason.
The funny thing about this game is that you don't really need to engage with the looter shooter shit as much as in other games. I used mostly the same loot up until the end and never once ran into a wienerblock whereas in other looter games if you're not upgrading your loot every few levels the game just hands you your ass. I'm pretty sure the fact that this game has no gear score or item level or stupid shit like that saves it from becoming a slog of constantly chasing gear just to beat the story.
They removed all that when it was delayed and made the battle pass and other junk anti fomo plus free story expansions. A lot of the hate is just the batman scene and misinformation. It's a pretty decent shooter at the end of the day with just bad mission variety. The hate is just so overblown
Yea I can agree with that. I wouldn't mind revisiting it when they add more stuff later on and I appreciate the fact that there's no fomo shit.
I would like to wait for all the story content to be added before hopping back in but my little brother is gonna bother me like crazy to see how it ends unfortunately. They are legally obligated to give us the first 4 seasons but the 5 th season is when the JL is fully regrouped according to the leaks so I was gonna wait til then.
I get that man trust me. I wanted a Superman game more than anyone and would trade my finger to go to the universe where we got that but that was never in the cards. Big wigs at WB wanted to be israelites instead
>It's a decent shooter
Frick off shill
>It's a pretty decent shooter at the end of the day with just bad mission variety.
Rocksteady used to make great games. Making a "decent shooter" where you brainlessly shoot at purple zits over and over in bland copy-paste missions is not something that should be shrugged off with "it's not THAT bad actually!"
That's like saying the nuTrilogy of movies aren't that bad.
>They've got a whole story. A beginning, middle, and end. They have characters with dialog! The special effects and costumes look okay! The hate is just so overblown, though!
>A looter shooter doesn't automatically mean bad
Correct
But this game is, in fact, awful.
why is the league evil?
Brainiac infected them.
wdym "infected"
He put Brainiac stuff in them that makes them evil.
>brainwashing rerun
Here is an idea. What not use the other rerun idea of the multiverse, and send the suicide squad to go kill an alternative justice league. Like the crime syndicate or the nazi justice league. Then a cliffhanger would make sense.
Why are people on Cinemaphile trying to make this game seem divisive? No one likes it.
I can understand if you don’t want to do multiverse stuff at all but why would you introduce it and not have the crime syndicate be the actual villains
>people on Cinemaphile
Are these, uh, people in the thread with us now?
Dude forever evil storyline us a missed opportunity.
Because Waller made the suicide squad to deal with threats to her own universe, and if an evil Justice League invaded their universe then the local Justice League would be the one dealing with it.
Or instead of the multiverse, send the suicide squad to take out the Jihad with the reveal that Qurac's President Marlo is being manipulated by Kobra into trying to provoke the United States into another forever war with the Middle East in a bid to kick start the Kali Yuga.
Shouldn't the missing be kill Brainiac?
*Mission
It's not only illegal, it's impossible. When a lantern dies the ring flies off his finger and looks for a new owner. It doesn't just hang in there to be found by any butthole. The ring has its own AI, can fly by itself faster than a plane or rocket, do complex maneuvers with pinpoint turns and become intangible.
Green lantern isn't dead. The whole league is still alive and set to reassemble and stop brainiac according to the leaks
The game was written by Sweet Baby Inc., that's all you need to know.
Also,
>all Justice League member bios were written by the villains
>they shit all over everyone, especially the GL because he's a "space cop"
>then there's Wonder Womutt's bio
>written by Lex Luthor, who hates super aliens
>he talks abut how her gynocentric society is perfect and should be seen as an example to Earth, and he complains about how toxic masculinity is one of the greatest issues of our society
I thought Deadshot calling GL an “oreo” in his bio was pretty funny.
>the villain says something I don't agree with
>he talks abut how her gynocentric society is perfect and should be seen as an example to Earth, and he complains about how toxic masculinity is one of the greatest issues of our society
Anon, be real. Do you seriously think that Lex Luther would ever say any of this?
Honestly they should have had Lex say some shit like
>While the rabble see a utopia, the more intellectual observe a backwards society lacking the masculine ambition to move past the bronze age, not to mention their insistence in worshiping long outdated gods (probably because they lose all reason every month for a week)
and yeah, he probably wouldn’t go full incel but him seething about an alleged perfect society (because how can it be "perfect" without a Lex Luthor in it?) makes more sense than him slobbering on their metaphorical wieners while still pushing a feminist agenda (because look at this pathetic MAN seething over a society of successful WOMEN)
>incel
Incel means involuntarily celibate ie can't get laid. That definitely ain't Lex.
Maybe Lex Luther would, you fricking homosexual, I've never heard of that character.
one spelling mistake and this ape flips out, what a loser
I won't be lectured on a character by someone who can't even spell that character's name correctly.
Don't they specifically say it's a bootleg ring?
cringe kino
It's weird that they treat him like a moronic child (like he is in the movie) even though he's the most intelligent and eloquent member of the group for some fricking reason.
Because hes based off a species of fish that has to survive by constantly swimming and didn't evolve to be any smarter than a newborn child. Also he eats people.
I mean, in game, King Shark is well-spoken, intelligent, even poetic at times. I know he's big dumb shark man otherwise.
You have to think in terms of lowest common denominator logic. People associate animals with a lack of intelligence (even though humans are animals) so any humanoid with animal traits is immediately lumped into a subhuman category.
To be fair they play him like Drax, he's well spoken and experienced but he also lacks situational awareness and cultural references fly over his head especially for a crew of tryhard criminals. Like when he didn't get "Bobs your Uncle" and kept trying to figure out what they meant by that.
This really goes to the issue Suicide Squad has been happening since the movie, they desperately want it to be DC's GotG but can only do it the most superficial of ways.
they wanted to have him be the suicide squad's drax, that's it
>that has to survive by constantly swimming
That was found to not be true, some species can remain stationary due to some things like the ability to push water over their gills and great whites figured out how to just position themselves face-first into currents while they sleep
they wrote it like that for comedic effect because normies love it
The most Fancanon thing ever.
Jesus fricking Christ they butchered Harley's face.
I'm not even sure what, specifically is wrong with it, but I know shit when I see it.
Something about the way these cutscenes are shot, framed, choreographed is just inherently unappealing and amateurish. It's anti-cinematic. Hell, you wouldn't probably even get something shot as poorly as this on even the cheapest TV show.
I can't believe this is what passes for a AAA game with years of delays and development in 2024.
The thing I hated most about those cut scenes are how the characters just 'wobble' back and forth in their idle positions. Deadshot has it the worst, he looks so goofy it's uncanny.
um sweetie that's called swagger
What is it with mo-cap and all that extra movement the characters make?
It is. But the writers didn't give a shit, plain and simple.
It's a synthetic copy of the ring.
It's purposely inaccurate, the characters comment on this.
yeah but nobody here has played the game or done anything besides see a screenshot or read twitter so youre stupid and this game makes me mad and cry and shit my pants because they made batgod a little b***h who gets shot in the face lol
I’m a causal so I’m probably wrong but Green Lantern rings are either suppose to fly back to Oa after their users demise or fly off to find another user with great willpower. You can’t just loot Lantern rings off dead Lanterns and use it for yourself. Also pretty sure the Green Lantern ring has a no kill policy so it should’ve flown off when GL was using it to serve Brainiac, unless it was reprogrammed or some shit as to not alert the Guardians.
John isn't dead, the JL are functionally immortal due to brainiac genetically modifying then. They get cured or some shit according to leaked content
Since they're doing Elseworlds and multiverse shit, it's hard to say that anyone is actually dead or if anyone they kill is actually the "real" version of whoever they killed or if it was all and asspull twist that the evil Brianiac'd JLA members were just convenient clones or whatever. It's peak contrived writing for a shitty game that has so little to offer that it treats copy-pasting encounters and lootboxes as unlimited content
Nah go look into the leaks. They are the real JL, they get revived due to brainiac frickery but later on get cured. The only multiversal aspect so far is joker and mrs.freeze. Everyone else is legit Arkham verse
from what I've seen of this game GL never kills anyone on screen, I don't know if he ever kills anyone off screen although he did threaten to kill deadshot
it seems like his role is capturing people
Doesn’t he shoot a bunch of fighter jets out of the sky at one point? I didn’t see any ejector seats.
oh yeah that's right
Anon Flash could solo the squad by himself between eye blinks. The whole game is bullshit.
let's be honest though, flash almost always jobs as his powers would otherwise be too strong to be used in almost any compelling narrative
Shit, in the second animated movie where the Reverse Flash was one of the villains, it was even a plot point that something weird was going on because he didn't outrun their RV and murder them all in half a second.
Suicide Squad: Hell to pay
Actually a really good movie
glad they turned into a vidya with Suicide Squad: Hell to play
Why did they make Ivy a e-girl in this game?
Because she's born again.
An Internet weirdo infiltrated the writer's room and wrote e-girl Ivy in to inspire lots and lots of Harley/Ivy age gap lesbian porn.
They made her look like frickin' Gretta Thundberg.
Finally, a good idea.
When's the last time someone didn't have enough willpower to work a GL ring?
>I don’t know anything but I’ll just ask a moronic question to defend the moronic game
Let me guess you worked on this piece of shit?
The game can crash and burn for all I care, but I have a question about GL rings so I'm going to ask it.
It's supposed to be reliant on will power but I don't remember anyone being too weak-willed to use it.
>It's supposed to be reliant on will power but I don't remember anyone being too weak-willed to use it.
Because the only people who have used them are superheroes who have had it personally handed to them by a GL and generally in soft canon or event situations. Also will power just dictates how effective you will be not if you can use it or not.
The problem with this is that GL rings leave their dead user and find the closest worthy user or return to Oa, flying faster than king shark would ever be able to catch. Again, you sound like exactly the type of loser they hire in these writers rooms. Far too defensive and not at all concerned with your own lack of knowledge as a casual. Have some fricking shame you homosexual and stop speaking defiantly about things you know nothing about.
Read up some anon said it didn't fly away cause he isn't dead
That’s not actually in the game, that’s some damage control rumor floating around.
They very obviously weren’t agreeing.
The leaker has been right about everything so far, no reason to not trust em. Wouldn't be the first time rocksteady did a shitty twist
I thought Anon 1 was saying it was dumb that King Shark has the willpower/ability to use the ring vs Anon 2 who thinks it's dumb bc it should have flown off before Shark could use it
>When's the last time someone didn't have enough willpower to work a GL ring?
Was clearly a defense of this nonsense. Even when saying the game could crash and burn they defended king shark having the ring because “willpower” which has nothing to do with getting a ring.
That's some reaching, anon.
Funny how “that” anon disappeared when you started posting.
I think that Anon was agreeing with you about the scene but for different reasons. Dunno why you're so hostile.
also from reading the thread it sounds like it's not a standard GL ring
King shark is a shark.
King shark is a shark, king shark is a shark. King shark is a shark?
It’s impossible and another case of bad writing
It might be subtle foreshadowing that the League are actually warped Brainiac clones. There’s actually a lot for evidence for that in game
>Not only does Shark use the ring (which should be impossible) but after he takes it off it just plops in the river instead of flying off like usual
>also despite allegedly dying, GL’s constructs stay up which is double impossible
>there’s a unfunny bit about Boomerang cutting off one of Flash’s fingers right before he’s captured and teleported to Brainiac by Batman (Boomerang even shows Wonder Woman the finger in question) but then when we see Flash post-brainwashing he still has all his fingers
>when Batman is being examined by Earth-2 Lex he says something like "Huh, Batman’s dna is super weird and fricked up now, how odd"
>Superman shrugs off being stabbed with a giant chunk of Kryptonite to the chest which makes zero sense and is regarded as impossible even in-universe
>Brainiac keeps making an awkward distinction between "MY Justice League" and "YOUR Justice League"
>also there’s leaked dialogue about Flash being brought back and needed to recuperate
Of course most of that stuff like the finger or the constructs could also be explained by them just not giving a shit about continuity and poor writing , especially considering the game never really focuses on any of this stuff nor does it make the rest of the story less obnoxious to sit through. Plus, even if they actually bring the all JL back, the game is still a generic live service looter shooter.
Elseworlds aren't known for the quality writing. Remember Act of God?
Between this and the Harley Quinn show it feels like WB is just greenlighting a bunch of watered down normie safe DC bullshit that outright is framed as a middle finger to fans. Everything reeks of half assed wiki research.
Green lantern rings are not so special. You don't need will power. Just a POC kid with hacking power is enough
That’s not how it works but whatever, have the (You) and go about your day
Teen lantern is legit yo.
She didn’t have a real lantern ring
Damage control doesn't count. She was introduced as a girl who hacked ring and editorial okayed it.
And it was fricking stupid and everyone called it out as being inaccurate as hell, so I’ll go with what the clarification is currently. Lantern rings are not easily replicated nor can they be hacked. It choosing King Shark is ridiculous too
It didn’t chose him. He just took it.
Another problem. That’s impossible
I agree.
You can't convince me Bendis is not one of the worst things to happen to the capeshit genre.
why is bendis so obsessed with poc kids by the way? it gives me the heebie-jeebies
Better question, wouldn't the ring stop working the moment Jon was mind controlled?
I believe they mention the rings in the game are not being programed by the guardians anymore so the rings basically became guns anyone can use and no longer do the shit they usually do like flying back to their planet or looking for a new user, etc. not sure about the other lantern ring tho.
>the rings in the game are not being programed by the guardians anymore
That makes absolutely no sense. Without a central battery the individual batteries cannot be powered and thus the rings cannot be charged.
Look anon, it's called fiction. It doesn't need to make sense.
Yes it does. Your setting has to have rules for it to function.
It needs to be internally consistent.
I didn't make the game, that's just how they explain it. also probably someone else is running the battery since the guardians are all dead now (in the game), just like how all the other lantern corps run their own central battery.
Hal Jordan? The Sinestro Corps war did happen in game universe.
Is it me or does EVERYTHING feel like it was twisted to fit this stupid premise and game style?
Yea, It feels like everything was twisted to fit the initial premise. As in anything that came up that might contradict their first idea was ignored or brushed off. The ring, Harley's personality in previous games, Deadshot already being in previous Arkham, Batman lore and being white.Batmans story throughout the games. It's this "need" for this to be tied to the Arkham games but none of the willingness to make the effort to write around preexisting lore. So it's all this other dimension, those guys are gone, cheap quick explanations because they don't want to be bothered with it.
Squirrel Girl was like this, the new Runaways was like this America (Chavez) was like this. There's a type of writer that doesn't like past installments of something and instead of writing through it to get events or characters into a place they'd like them to be they just write dialogue that explains away the problem.
It's not even just twisting to "fit" Arkham canon, it's the fact that they get so much basic DC shit wrong for the sake of having a GaaS shooter. I'll give a good example; the squad covering themselves with Gold Kryptonite so they can fight/shoot Superman with normal weapons. Do I even need to explain how many things are wrong with this sentence?
To be fair, in your example, they were actually shooting him with Gold Kryptonite bullets as well (Harley and Captain Boomerang haul two containers of gold K, one of them was filled with the stuff they tape to themselves, the other was full of bullets). Them strapping the gold K to themselves was narratively to prevent Superman from punching or flying through them (ignoring the fact that he just ends up punching you to death anyway in the death animation)
Anon that's just worse. You know why? Green, the most common form of Kryptonite, is incredibly rare to begin with. Gold is a 100x more scarce than all the other variations combined, and to have that much for this plot is asinine. It's written as such because gold permanently depowers Clark to human similar to Red Sun Energy.
So not only is it incredibly stupid for those lore reasons, but every one of them likely has cancer now due to Kryptonite still being radioactive.
I know, I'm merely saying it's WORSE than just trying to staple it to the Arkham brand for a sales boost. They get basic DC lore wrong, all just so this looter shooter can exist
>is incredibly rare to begin with
I believe in the comics Lex created synthetic gold kryptonite, but it's weaker and can only temporarily depower Kryptonians. Not that I think anyone at Rocksteady actually read any of the comics.
>every one of them likely has cancer now due to Kryptonite still being radioactive
Waller's going to kill them all anyway so sadly none of them will live long enough to be ravaged by cancer.
Bro, don't even try to rationalize it. It only serves to validate their stupid decisions. Know what I mean?
But I really, really wanted to see them all die from cancer. 🙁
The gold K was literally created by Lex in the game, so... And they're disposable villains that nearly ate a nuke, Superman was the more immediate concern.
in the game lex says it's synthetic gold kryptonite and it dampens superman's powers rather than completely depower him
I wish Kryptonite just killed everything within minutes rather than magically affecting Kryptonians more
Well it will kill you eventually. Adventures of Superman talked about that in the Batman Crossover. Shit is radioactive and will give you space cancer.
I know, what I'm saying is that if it gives Superman radiation sickness within minutes it should do that everyone that's not wearing protective clothing or shielded by something.
That’s moronic, I genuinely hate normies like you.
>That’s moronic
That's how radiation actually works. Suspension of disbelief aside.
I'll go with it's because he's cells actively absorb radiation at a greater level than a human.
Anon it affects Superman at a faster rate than normal humans because of his metabolism and how he processes energy. He's a walking solar battery, and he's soaking up the deadly Krpytonite radiation at a faster pace
You don’t understand how it works then. It weakens them because they draw their power from the yellow sun. The irradiated kryptonite draws that power from them.
Also kryptonite is poisonous over a long period. It effected Lex when he walked around wearing a Kryptonite ring.
I get the idea, but that goes beyond "fake science ignore it" to being poorly thought out.
Eat my ass
Neither of those anons but you're making an issue out of nothing. It's a pretty simple concept to grasp
>Green Kryptonite is highly irradiated debris of what remans of Krypton, created after the cataclysmic explosion
>It is volatile to nearly every form of life, slowly killing them or giving them cancer
>Superman is no different in this respect, only difference being the rate it affects him. It is faster for him because his cells are designed to soak up energy.
It is a simple concept. I'm saying it should be simpler to do away with inconsistency in portrayals.
What inconsistency? This has remained true for Kryptonite for ages. This game is moronic, and clearly doesn't understand how gold kryptonite works. Contrived out the ass
So why would it be more effective than the Green "will fricking kill you" stuff?
apparently because corrupted superman has weird dna that makes green kryptonite less effective, diana stabs him in the chest with a chunk of it but he lives through it
>Drives a 2 foot long chunk through his heart.
>Somehow still flies away after Super Lazers kill wonder woman.
>Well dang this still just isn't that effective anymore.
>I know, I'm merely saying it's WORSE than just trying to staple it to the Arkham brand for a sales boost. They get basic DC lore wrong, all just so this looter shooter can exist
OK I get what you're saying.
I think that, 1, I don't know why DC/Marvel don't hire and loan out guys that are just knowledgeable on lore or create some kind of indexed/cross referenced database so people using their brands can just look up relevant info. But when you're talking about the scope of DC lore and let's use that other anons example, how many different types of kryptonite and their individual effects and scarcity, I get that might be looked over or that like I said you need someone whose job specifically is "fact" checker. But to be unable or unwilling to spend a day or two watching the cut scenes from old games and looking at character bios so that you frick that up too. It goes from confusing continuity mistakes or old lore that hasn't been mentioned in 30+ years to just lazy or spiteful towards the product itself.
And 2, If making a looter shooter was the main goal, better properties and characters than SS exist in DC lore to do that. Maybe because of the movies, but the movies weren't even that popular or at least didn't do that well. So I have a hard time wrapping my head around it all just being for the sake of being a looter shooter. It really seems like the type gameplay and the mistakes they've made had nothing to do with each other. like they would have slapped looter shooter to any idea that they came to them with. We want to make a Plasticman game and we were thinking it... MAKE IT A LOOTER SHOOTER, that's where the money is.
>We want to make a Plasticman game and we were thinking it... MAKE IT A LOOTER SHOOTER, that's where the money is.
the funny thing is a lot of big budget looter shooters are failures
anthem failed
avengers failed (not really a shooter but it's close enough)
outriders failed
destiny 2 is failing to the point that they had to sell themselves to sony to not go under
the division 2 is irrelevant
the only real success is borderlands
I don't understand what possessed these companies to go all in on this cursed genre
Because Fortnite rakes in money and they've been chasing to recreate that lightning in a bottle ever since.
but fortnite's success is mainly due to it being a battle royale not being a looter shooter, the PvE mode wasn't much of a looter shooter either
keeping a PvP game alive is way easier than keeping a PvE game alive
I didn't say destiny is a failure I said it's failing, I didn't say division 2 was a failure either, the point I'm making is that looter shooters as a genre isn't looking too healthy right now
this period is reminiscent of those years when there were lots of arena shooters coming out when UT and Quake fell off and none of them succeeded
>the point I'm making is that looter shooters as a genre isn't looking too healthy right now
So they follow the MMO cycle of health, gets ton of players returning when new content comes and then takes dips with whales sticking around until the next content.
>destiny 2 is failing to the point that they had to sell themselves to sony to not go under
The story of Destiny and it's "failures" has little to do with being looter shooters and more to do with corporate frickery and given that the game is still around and getting new content how can it possibly be a failure?
>the division 2 is irrelevant
Maybe but 10 million sold copies is a failure now?
I wanted a multiplayer Hitman game.
Anon, this takes 5 mins of actually reading a wiki. If you're going to the trouble to use any kryptonite that isn't green, then fricking do your homework. That's not even covering the basic knowledge of why King Shark TAKING and WEARING a Green Lantern ring.
This mistakes in kryptonite and ring can be acceptable as rule for this reality if the story is atleast ok.
For example thanos snapped in comics to show how easy it is if you have that much power. In just a simple snap he can kill half of everything. But in movies it burned arms of hulk and thanos. And killed stark.
>can be acceptable as rule for this reality if the story is atleast ok.
Shit like that bleeds into main continuity and everything else causing inconsistency and confusion
>MCU excuses
Holy frick. Leave
Moreover those writers are just shit and didn't give a damn about lore.
Whole bio about how Wonder Woman is the Greatest heroe in the universe we should all allow to lead us by example.
While Black Lantern is just "Lol Race Traitor Cop or something."
>It's not even just twisting to "fit" Arkham canon,
No dude, what I'm saying is they really didn't get Arkham canon any more right than they did basic DC shit. They made all this effort to "PROMOTE" that this game was happening in the Arkhamverse but then they just change shit anyway. They didn't comic lore right and then they couldn't be bothered to stick to Arkham lore without these bullshit changes. THEY FRICKED UP ON EVERY CONCEIVABLE LEVEL.
Why is his character so inconsistent?
Every single thing I see him in he's a fundamentally different character.
sometimes he's stupid, sometimes he's hyperintelligent, sometimes he's comic relief... but he's almost never the same thing across any two depictions
Funny how despite being so inconsistent he is usually either the best character or only good character sometimes wherever he shows up, King Shark is just always solid.
i habe question tbh
does the oath matter?
because he says "king SHARK's might" and that's not how it goes!
For charging it with a power battery yes
not necessarily, GLs have charged the ring just by holding it to the battery for 10 seconds or something
The emotion it convokes is more important than the words themselves. Still, it works better if you say it right.
It's a bad game
Ring would have left John the moment he became mind controlled also. Game is horrible.
This. The Guardians are paranoid old frickers that want a monopoly on their superweapon for obvious reasons, both for galactic safety and to avoid past frickups like The Manhunters. It's not even the fact that John is compromised, but the risk of Brainiac obtaining one for his collection/study. Rings should not only flee, but self-destruct given their basic AI. Only reason why they haven't done so in the past when fighting Brainiac is because The Guardians allow Hal n Pals a chance to fight but won't provide additional support
Meanwhile Hal uses his ring to destroy the entire corps during Emerald Twilight when possessed by Parallax
Parallax was inside the main battery and an innate flaw harbored within the rings themselves.
Different method of control.
So there are some forms of control that allude Guardian notice or action? How exactly is Brainiac's control different?
Not that anon but I'll step in to explain the difference. Parallax, the embodiment of the yellow light of fear, was imprisoned in the central power battery because it was one of the few things in existence that could contain it. However the flaw in this prison was infecting their main computer and power source for ALL power rings for the Green Lanterns. It's like saving a self-aware computer virus behind firewalls on your home network. It chose Hal as a means of escape and a vessel.
Brainiac's code is foreign in every respect, and ring AI would either try to fight off the hack, escape, or self-destruct
Can you back that up in any way?
It feels like all forms of media has nothing but contempt for the audience/fans these days.
You see, when you hand an intellectual property with a long, storied canon over to the wrong people who seek just to shit on you...
Not even a joke. Go look at a picture of the writers and tell me this isn't the case. Go ahead.

why don't you frick off to reddit you insufferable prick?

Sad!
Being anonymous is a choice anon, you can be Anon or have a name.
Simple, the presence of Harley Quinn means the standard rules and power scaling of the DC universe don't apply. Here she is buying a ring off Ebay after two guys accidentally fused together a red and black lantern ring by spilling milk on them.
who is the target audience for nu-harley quinn?
The Deadpool audience and the "not like the other girls" audience
BtAS Harley is easily the best and my favorite.
Fiercely loyal, incredibly dedicated and loving, a genuinely desirable female.
Any man who wants nu prostituteley is a beta cuck who wants his balls stomped on.
and anyone who wants BtAS Harley wants a frickdoll they can control

Enjoy dying without a man and being eaten by your 15 cats as you rot unloved in your studio apartment you fat b***h.
Actually it's because I can fix her, you miserable husk of what used to be human.
the difference between her creator writing her and some troony millennials self inserting as her
Devil's advocate: what if King Shark just has a shitload of willpower? It's not that strange considering just about Justice Leaguer has also worn a power ring at least once.
Doesn’t he straight up eat people all the time and you think he has will power? Is like watching a fat guy wear a a green lantern ring not getting the irony.
>a dozen human beings can be Green Lanterns
>a leprechaun can be a Green Lantern
>math equations can be Green Lanterns
>creatures without the concept of vision can be Green Lanterns
>amebas, viruses, and protozoa can be Green Lanterns
It's really strange you draw the line at talking sharks when half of what I listed don't even have the concept of "willpower" and they're in GL books all the time.
That’s fair but than it just makes the green lantern pointless. I mean if everyone can be one what’s the point of making them seem special.
>the ring wouldn't have picked him!
Sinestro, Yalan Gur, and Tomar-Tu are dickheads are were still chosen.
Anon you have to remember that current day Sinestro wasn't always that way. After years of frustration and resentment, Thaal thought he knew better than The Guardians because he felt they weren't solving anything. The ring originally was right to choose him.
The ring only chose him cause he willingly let the green lantern who wielded it die. He could've saved him, but chose not to
Being a dick isn't mutually exclusive with being an arbiter of justice. Being an active, unrepentant criminal who robs, murders, and eats people is.
And Guy. But still he'll hero up when needed.
But the part you’re leaving out is character, not what they are on the outside
Those are moronic, too. Using bad writing to excuse other bad writing is the worst habit of comic fans
They do have willpower as they're clearly sapient even if they don't abide by normal humanoid anatomy, evolution etc. What people are baffled by is that a buff humanoid shark man took an alien artifact with a fail safe after murdering its owner.
maybe the fat guy has the willpower to keep eating after he's full
Than he’d be an orange lantern, cause he’s a greedy fat bastard.
That’s not how it works homosexual. It’s not mjolnir willpower doesn’t make you “worthy”. The ring chooses its wearer. Willpower just dictates how well they’ll wield it.
joker has a robot leg in this game? they're ticking off all boxes
It's a different Joker from another universe's Suicide Squad. Apparently, he's all introspective and trying to find his place in the world and likes to fly around with a rocket-powered mechanical umbrella.
If I can say just ONE good thing about the game is that I like the Justice League costumes except for Wonder Woman's
Yeah, WW was actually hot, what the frick were they thinking? It was also funny how they went out of their way to show her ass.
>It was also funny how they went out of their way to show her ass.
Excuse me?
Injustice did some stupid shit with rings being pulled off to depower lanterns and that seemed moronic as well
Well yeah, everyone considers Injustice moronic from the get go. Everyone acts out of character to make that What If happen in the first place
Why do Lantern Rings need to be charged by batteries if the emotion they correlate with give them power? Is it like will/rage/fear act a conduit between the users imagination and the power of the ring?
A regular, garden variety user can only channel their emotions into the pure energy of the spectrum by so much. The power batteries not only serve as a reliable source of fuel for their rings, but also a check and balance system to keep Lanterns on a leash. Hal, Atrocitus, and Larfleeze are the exceptions, and are essentially power batteries themselves given their experiences and mental focus.
Thanks for the explanation.
Your phone can take amazing pictures if you use your skill and creativity to set up the perfect shot, but you still need to charge the phone's battery. It doesn't run on creativity.
Its literally like the time Ollie took the ring and could only form an arrow with it and that exhausted him.
It's not like that at all. Ollie was only permitted to use the ring because rings are self aware, and a longtime friend of Hal. Not only that, but King Shark's construct is a lot more powerful/complex than it should be
>kill the heroes
>villains replace the heroes
This is just a teardown of something people love, done by dysfunctional people who only love themselves and hold a grudge against normal, sane people. In a just world, these loons would be DENIED employment just because they're not normal, instead of being celebrated for it. They would be eating snack ramen and crying about their college costs to an uncaring world, not getting gig after gig, and shit-talking legit criticism on social media. This is cultural warfare and this company and it's employees deserve poverty.
People like contributive to the stagnation of western comics
The only good parts of this game are King Shark and Captain Boomerang.
true
harley has her moments but she's so overexposed that I'm tired of her
deadshot is just kinda boring and he never does anything cool
he does call green lantern one of the good ones though which might help turn even the normies against the game since they're too stupid to understand the context of that description
there's no way rocksteady will ever recover from this so they are probably going the way of the dodo just like volition did after nu-saints row.
Some of the old devs made a new studio, I forgot their new name, but i doubt they will release anything soon.
Sad to see that this will be the end of bahman games, we could hae had batman beyond and superman games.
