I don’t want to kill the Justice League
Sorry not sorry
This+fpbp+/thread
Not only are they the good guys but they are overpower, only a cosmic villain can have the chance.
All chuds do is to b***h in the internet about games they don't want to play and movies/shows they don't want to watch.
and as always they were right seethe more feminazi c**t im glad you lost your job
Nah, Rocksteady committed suicide, appropriately enough given the name of the game.
Maybe companies should listen to these "chuds" then because they would objectively be better off if Suicide Squad was canceled years ago instead of releasing this turd and watching it very predictably crash and burn.
Reminder, this game was originally announced as early as 2010. Fricking 2010. And there was NEVER ANY HYPE for it. Everyone hated it the whole time because the concept is bad. If everyone tells you your game is gonna be shit, and there's no positivity at all, it is not the fans' fault, its your fault for trying to do something stupid. You should listen and self-reflect.
Anon, it's not them who needs to get a clue. It's you who has to realize they are not capable of such things.
It’s more fun than playing the games and watching the movies at this point
That's exactly what leftoids were doing in the early-mid 2010s, which brought us to where we are now. Maybe if "chuds" keep b***hing we'll get fun games again.
>they don't want to play
>they don't want to watch.
Then you come around and cry that nobody supports your slop. Clearly they want to play and want to watch but you're too much of a homosexual to sell a good product.
Chud sounds too close to Chad. Think of a different name.
Your point?
Those chuds are the customers. You either appeal to them or go out of business.
Maybe one day worthless c**ts will buy more video games, but until that day comes, if you want to make it in the industry you need to service the fans' big meaty uncircumscised members with big anime tittys and plenty of loose fanservice.
You won the culture war, everyone is now more like you. Enjoying your prize?
>implying they won
Dumb homosexual
>Lowercase i for Internet
Good thing chuds are such a minority and so poor, so you don't need them as customers.
Now, why didn't rich, well-educated people support Rocksteady?
And all wokecels do is b***h on the internet about games they want to be change in their favor completely and still refuse to buy it anyway.
KWAB
Rocksteady killed themselves. Believing consumers must support companies unconditionally is commie brainrot homosexualry.
>Believing consumers must support companies unconditionally is commie brainrot homosexualry.
Communism is, by definition, against companies, moron.
They act like they're the People's Commissariat for Enlightenment and don't have any compeitition and not a company that has to entice people to choose to buy their products.
Not at all. Ascribing moral imperatives to control the populace is what communism is all about. Commie brainrot seeps into all things in life, until you become like OP an believe that it is a moral action to unconditionally support a bad company as a matter of good praxis, because the greater good demands you align yourself with those whom you believe will serve that greater good and bring prosperity upon the workers and society.
because thats how capitalism works moron
you've been misinformed
And a core tenant of capitalism is supply and demand.
If there is no demand for something, and that thing is all you supply, don't expect to be in business for long.
Ironic cuz only commie homosexuals are supporting rocksteady at least on social media cuz the game has troony flags
Feminists killed rocksteady several years ago anon.
and after sefton hill left, the people after him were even fricking worse.
>Supporting private company is coomunism
I'm not sure if I should laugh to you or cry.
Did someone say coom?
Bros, it's like... Rocksteady is Batman, and I'm part of some depressed dogpile sent out to kill him.
They killed themselves. Ironic since they made Suicide Squad.
Anon, we're Cinemaphile, not Cinemaphile. The Rocksteady we said we loved is the one who's friends with Bebop.
while the game had a lot of problems, if they reworked it not to be GaaS, they could've at least gone out with an ounce of dignity
instead they did avengers 2.0 and they'll stand atop their sinking ship screaming "who could've seen this coming?!"
shortly followed by "hey yall, if you know any game devs hiring in the area..."
>they did avengers 2.0
This game did WORSE than the avengers one, Satan
I very much doubt that, that was the Avengers brand at the peak of capeshit, Square Enix had to sell a crucial studio over it. DC properties are worthless and WB owns it all anyway.
That's subjective, I'm talking about objective shit, suicide squad sold less than the avengers game, had less concurrent players on launch and is already dead, it took at least a year for the avengers game to fricking die
Everyone that had made the Arkham games had long since left before this damn wreck.
Literally most of the staff credited to this game is from Arkham Asylum, City, and Knight. The reason why this wasn't a Batman game is because Rocksteady doesn't want to be the Batman studio. They said as much when they basically made it so there couldn't be a good sequel to Arkham Knight. They wanted to make a live service 3rd person shooter, hell their first game was an original IP FPS so it's not like Batman is why they started developing games. If anything the only thing WB did was force Suicide Squad branding on them so they retooled their existing game into it. Get over it, Rocksteady wanted to make this, and they never wanted to make a single player Batman game. Stop living in a fantasy world where Rocksteady "died" and all of the staff left. Hell the founders only left at the end of 2022. You really think Suicide Squad wasn't basically finished at that point?
fake news
mad homosexual
nah thats you
I kinda like the Justice League. I don't really want to kill them.
>Avengers game flopped
>Last Suicide Squad movie flopped
>Gotham Knights flopped
>First impressions of the game a year ago were bad
They had a ton of red flags and they continued
Imagine having spent money on this shit just for it to close down before the year comes to an end. And you won't be able to play it because it was a "game as a service" game that won't function when the servers are shut down.
and nothing of value was lost
The writing was on the wall. Arkham Knight was garbage, the dug their own grave when they fired Paul Dini and then Sefton Hill and his idiot friends decided that writing a Batman story was easy and that anyone could do it.
>Arkham Knight was garbage
no, it was just poorly optimised
Arkham Knight had some problems in the writing department but other than that it's a great game and the graphics are still better than Gotham Knights or Suicide Squad.
Sweet baby Inc kek. Feminism kills everything it touches like a virus
Bebop is next
Arkham Asylum was a love letter to everything Batman. Comics, movies, cartoons. It was made by people who actually cared about the material they're adapting and wanted their game to be the most immersive experience imaginable.
Following games somewhat carried that and improved technologically, but I'd say with City they were already losing track of what made Asylum great.
This is soulless trash that made by committee.
>uh, what do kids like nowadays? Uh, Guardians of the Galaxy, looter shooters, annoying "comedy" Nu-Rocksteady deserves to crash and burn for this.
>but I'd say with City they were already losing track of what made Asylum great
I kinda noticed that, especially in regards to Batman himself. I dunno, Asylum's Batman felt more human than super edgy and brooding i totally work alone bruce wayne is the mask guy from City. Sure, there's some moments where he seems like Asylum's, but alas...
Yeah, that's part of it for me.
I also think a lot of atmosphere of Asylum is lost from City to Knight. And I'm not a fan of retroactively making that night in Asylum the most important event in Batman's life. IMO it worked precisely because it was just another night in Gotham.
And this one is a bit personal, I never liked League's involvement in the plot. Not only it reaches Batgod territory wit near-death Batman taking on them all including Ra's (I understand it's a game, but Asylum Batman hit the sweet spot between being powerful and not overpowered), it undermined Hugo Strange heavily who seemed like a very cool villain in the trailers.
Yeah, the story in city could use some tweaking, but the bosses were a lot better than asylum which was batarang titan thug and dodge their charge, or batarang ivy and dodge vines.
Like solomon grundy you have to dodge him while taking out the power source, mr freeze with the predator mode battle, Ra's was mostly a lazarus hallucination and batman's death clock was reset for that fight from drinking it so he was full strength.
I can forgive Asylum because it was Rocksteady's first outing and, yeah, the City bosses were a major improvement.
Why Knight's bosses sucked so hard I do not undertsand however.
Origins had the best boss fights in the series and gave me my favorite version of Bane
literally the only bad thing about this bane was the mask. why do they insist on doing the luchador thing where the mouth and eyes are showing? he's a lot cooler when his mouth ISN'T showing, and i can't imagine there's anyone that would disagree with that. like, you really mean to tell me people would rather see him with his mouth on display rather than some terminator-like dude with no facial features and just a mask with bright red eyes coming after you?
Is crazy that bane is supposed to be Hispanic but not Mexican why he has the lichador motif?
Bane comes from the fictional country of Santa Prisca so as to not offend anyone from a real country.
Batmobile mandate. Like it seriously teased a deathstroke rematch when he jumped out of the tank, only for him to be beaten in a cutscene.
IIRC Asylum's Batman has visble damage as you progress through the story, that alone goes a long way for bein so little
Same thing happens with City's Batman and Knight's Batman
They made a shitty, mean spirited game with bad mechanics and repetitive gameplay. They brought it on themselves.
hoking their wagon to a star with a shitty live service game no one wanted did that just fine
first disney, now rocksteady?
why does my inaction and complete indifference to their plight trouble these powerful brands so??
How did Harley go from having to smash her professor for her psych degree to being smarter at chemistry than batman?
Eating Joker's chemically mutated dick for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for several years will do that.
They let a woman write the script
Through the magic of shit writers being hired to push a shit agenda that no one cares about or wants.
This has been retconned in 2019. Harley was a legitimate brilliant student who earned her degrees, but one of her professors harassed her, and Harley's mean college mates spread rumors that she fricks for good grades.
DC and Warner decided they can't push Harley as a female icon while still having her classic silly backstory.
that shit is non canon
NTA, but I actually think it's a good retcon, if very blunt.
But that's off-topic; we're here to laugh at Rocksteady and it's awful decisions.
no its not its pathetic and lazy and makes her look like a merry sue
It's Mary Sue; it's named after the character.
>he cares about grammar
what a fricken nerd
Because weirdos haven't figured out a way to swing sleeping around for good grades into a girlboss move. Until then they're just going to say
>Nope, that wasn't the REAL Harley Quinn.
>That was just chud shit some boomer wrote because he hates womyn.
I'd love to take credit for killing Rocksteady
We all know (except you) that people at Rocksteady that worked on the Arkham games left in 2015 after Arkham Knight released.
Maybe if KTJL wasn't a dogshit game with dogshit writing and forced us to kill the JL, we wouldn't have been hard on the game.
But they chose what they chose, and knowing it won't even last the year is just what the game deserves.
If they didn't make it always online it could've survived forever.
Did modders extract the models at least?
Why bother? The models are worse than the ones in Arkham Knight.
I want the furries to make porn of the shark guy with a hyper horse wiener
It already exists I'm sure.
I haven't been happy since Iron Man dropped in 2008
>Experience of making the game and dealing with SweetBaby was so awful the founders left the company
Nah, the DEI shit killed the company. Gamers not playing their trashy loot-em-up games as service shovelware just crushed the shell left behind.
Frick 'em. Rocksteady fricked themselves when they decided to go full moron and try to frick over the fans with their dogshit ass mtx riddled piece of shit.
I’am Thankyou for asking friend.

THANK YOU NINTENDODOODODO THANK YOUUUU
It's kind of weird to think that the reason Nintendo has not been as affected as other companies of ESG is because their games have simple stories with reasonable budgets
>years of movies, animated movies, video games, cartoon series, and comics constantly pushing the fricking suicide squad shit down our throats
>every single one of them flopped
>after almost a decade, they still havent learnt their lesson
>ITS THE CONSUMERS FAULT THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY DONT LIKE
Who the frick is behind this push for this suicide squad shit? Its become insane at this point.
Worst thing is that it's always the Harley Quinn Squad they're trying to push and not the actually-good Ostrander era.
This is just the standard 21st century boilerplate damage control.
I'm not sure why they're still doing it. It's not saving anyone's job or putting money in anyone's account.
Beyond that blaming the fans is what you do in superhero media- despite the fact they had no say in what went on. See women in refrigerators another example.
attempting to blame someone else for your own shortcomings is straight up gaslighting.
It's how they keep getting jobs as the CEOs of companies they have no business being. Shit like the guy in charge of Home Depot tanking his company's value and then going straight over to Lowes, claiming that he did everything right but it's just someone else's fault that he didn't make more at the previous company. And the shareholders keep falling for it like goddamn lemmings.
And that's a good goddamn point. People keep blaming fans for being so "toxic" and shit, despite the fact people working at Marvel outright say their whole aim is to outright piss off their readerbase for profits. Of course you're going to get a toxic fanbase with that mindset, that's like spending your life abusing your dog and then acting shocked and confused when it finally rips off your balls.
They should’ve made a better game
people like batman. They don't know or care what a suicide squad is
You're the buttholes that keep saying that being mindless fanboys is perpetuating stupidity and evil, how defending evil business practices just out of loyalty to the franchise is keeping all dem wimmins down. People just took your advice.
Harley was great when she was Joker's lovestruck sidekick. All her stories where she is basically his wife were excellent.
It was when they made her a strong independent lesbo who don't need no man that she began to suck, and she's only gotten worse since then.
Same reason why Wonder Woman will never be more popular than when she and Batman are an item. We love strong women, but they need to be strong women under the thumb of a male character. Otherwise they are just uninteresting shrews that don't frick. We see enough of those kinds of women IRL, we don't need them taking up space in our comics and vidya.
I would've loved to play a Suicide Squad game where I'm sent on missions to infiltrate or eliminate or infiltrate and eliminate targets, I get to build a team before each mission, I could upgrade them with points I get from missions, I would unlock more and more characters as the game progresses and maybe build relationships between the characters to get special unlockables or combos between them and stuff.
Instead I got a mediocre looking shoot em up style game with a very very small roster where I have to kill the Justice League.
From the get go this looked like that shitty Avengers game absolutely nobody liked and that died in like a month, so why try to copy that model?
>You all killed Rocksteady
Everyone that made the Arkham games left after Arkham Knight anon
It was that teams last game
everyone there now is new

Wow, how did this amazing game flop
>Okay, we have the entire villain catalogue of DC at our disposal. We need to think of 4 people who use guns. We could even bring in heroes if we really needed too; it's justified because the world is ending. Now, who should our gun-focused Suicide Squad team be?
Harley Quinn.
>Perfect.
King Shark.
>Perfect.
Captain Fricking Boomerang.
>Perfect. I don't see how anyone could have a problem with any of these characters using a shotgun.
It's turns out, the greatest super power is owning a gun.
Bro, it's another Suicide Squad story where the writer completely forgets that the Suicide Squad shouldn't be saving the day and are meant to be disposable meatshields. Of course it was going to fail. It's like making a James Bond movie where he has to babysit a bunch of kids; can it be good? Maybe, but it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the source material and why people like it.
Oh no not Rocksteady such great developers.
Post 2016 rocksteady is only that in name
All the people that made up the Arkham team left after Knight
>only that in name
kinda crazy the ea special is still around
I've always hated Rocksteady and I'm elated they're dead. Try ruining an entire genre now, you bastards.
Would this have been more popular if it was just a regular co-op shooter instead of GAAS looty shooty? Each player picks a character, gets exp and levels up abilities at the end of each level?
Slightly more so, but the game itself still has too many issues to say that just fixing one would have saved it.
No. Rocksteady was never any good at gameplay and the draw for Bamham was Batman and BTAS voice actors. Also, loot and shoot is fricking dead.
What if you get currency that can be used to upgrade individual stats on your gun like capacity, damage, fire rate, etc so you don't have to grind RNG for better weapons?
Same thing, really. No one can put up with this dull grinding garbage anymore, the few whales are all firmly planted on Destiny.
I had something like the blade upgrades from MGR in mind where you can generally get what you need and only need to grind levels for the really high level stuff or total stat completion.
That depends on the gameplay itself being rewarding enough to justify the grind. And for a game like Suicide Squad, that's not happening.
Very true. What was so bad about the gameplay to make it not fun besides the grind?
That's the same thing in a different package, you'd still be grinding, it's just for currency now
wrong i found the gameplay very fun and exhilarating homosexual you're just a miserable Cinemaphilegay who will never be happy
The first 2 Arkham games are well written and have good combat, nothing overly complicated but fun and dynamic. Much better than Spider-man or Harry Potter which were critical darlings.
games as live services need to end. its only made for a certain genre of game that is going out of style anyways!
go be a bootlicker in Cinemaphile
I wasn't even aware of this game until Cinemaphileirgins started posting it on every board. Y'all need a woman, Jesus, or a hobby.
>As he posts on Cinemaphile
>And yet you participate.
Exactly
Lot of things, but the one most relevant to answering your question is the non-existent amount of enemy variety in the game. The point of a lootan shooter type of game is that all the guns are supposed to be ideal for different situations, else there'd be no reason to hoard them up, which by proxy means you need a variety of enemies to make them all feel useful. Shit like big and beefy enemies that soak up assault rifle ammunition like candy but burst into treats when hit with a full shotgun round to the face, or hordes of slippery little guys that keep dancing out of the way of your shotgun blasts but are much more manageable with a constant hail fire of assault gun rounds blowing through them. Suicide Squad has three, maybe four different kinds of enemies, with the rest just being reskinned and given inflated hp and damage ratings. So the fun of getting new weapons is pretty much negated, and it just turns into picking out which weapon has the better numbers instead of the better performance.
And that's just one aspect, that's not even counting the game's jankiness, all the glitches, the fact all the characters feel the same save for travel options, how melee is somehow stupidly overpowered for a lootan shooter, how the unrewarding gunplay criticisms can equally apply to how every reward in general also feels unsatisfying to obtain, or how the boss fights are so incredibly lame and uninspired despite the tagline being "Kill the Justice League". It is a shitshow all around, is what I'm saying.
Why would I want to play this garbage when I could Helldive with the boys instead?
The Arkham games were always bad, shilling the same grimdark aesthetic and cynical take on the franchise Warner used in the Nu52, DCEU, DCAMU, and Injustice games.
nah they were pretty damn good you're just a miserable Cinemaphilegay who will never be happy
No, I'm a fed up Cinemaphilemrade who wants adaptations that aren't embarrassed by the source material.
The next DC game should have a Waid/Mora World's Finest aesthetic.
>Turn on Detective Vision
>Never turn it off
>Burn out your blue/orange receptors.
And that was my Arkham experience.
Big win today sisters.
Elon is just working his way back to old Twitter, what a moron

Anybody who blames Rocksteady for this game and not Warner Bros. is fricking moronic!
>N-No don't blame the incompetent people that ran out the comptrnt ones!
>They're part of my tribe, they HAVE to be the good guys!
if literally everything the game tried wasn't bad maybe, but no point living in maybeland
I blame both and of course sweetbaby.inc
Yes, very happy actually
NOOOOOO! Not Rocksteady, he's so grea-oh wait, THAT Rocksteady.
Nevermind
>You all killed Rocksteady
They committed suicide...by squad of gays
>people don't like it because it's GaaS
>Fortnite is still hugely popular
>Destiny 2, somehow, still has a bunch of people playing
>Apex Legends is successful
>Helldivers 2 was hit from out of nowhere
For all the people do about b***hing about GaaS, the ones that succeed still tend to succeed pretty fricking hard. It's almost as if people just want a game that gives them a good dopamine hit and don't care how it is implemented for the most part. Look at how huge WoW and other MMOs from the 00s were, back when people barely batted an eye at a monthly subscription as long as it kept them occupied. The primary issue people have with this game is the overall monotony of things, with the appeal of even making the characters distinct in terms of gameplay something Rocksteady didn't even consider, just Gun Person #1 but shark and Gun Person #2 but woman, I seriously don't think people would have given a frick about blowing Batman's brains out as long as the game was fun
That's the point, GaaS is a long running scam that requires crippling stockholm syndrome. Like you mentioned, mindless garbage wearing Warcraft's skin, cartoon advertisements and "PUBG during BR craze but your PC/console can run it", "from the guys who made babby's first shooter", etc, all feeding into sunk cost fallacy and the illusion of an ever evolving game that doesn't change at all, always leaving you at the edge of the seat of the new meta. No one's gonna be invested in anything new short of extraordinaire pulls, like whatever's the biggest eceleb getting obsessed with it (which is exactly how Apex got an audience in Japan despite being the most repulsive, parody worthy western game in recent history to gain traction). You're not gonna be the next big player, especially not with fricking DC D listers on some bad even for modern standards shooter with zero depth or skill ceiling.
Also, a game being fun never amounts to anything, especially in AAA and grind oriented genres. And Helldivers 2 was only a hit in the sense it was sent to die and somehow didn't, the studio is doomed now that they're expected to repeat the feat.
