Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

[Link]

That sounds a lot like what The Avengers game served for endgame content, aka generally a waste of time.

The most fun thing about this game is ****ting on it on forums.

The first several big updates for Avengers actually had story missions, and didn't require you to grind to unlock the new characters, so this is actually much worse. Avengers lowered the bar so that Suicide Squad could trip over it and knock it to the ground.

And to imagine they postponed the game and what we now have is the revised version. A disaster, through and through.

Avengers gave you the new characters for free upon launch. No grinding. It also at least added a couple unique boss fights. Not forcing you to grind to get the new characters and giving you the same boss fight with a new coat of paint.

This game is a joke. Maybe I will try it in like 3 months when it's 4 bucks

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice’s League’s Promised Strongholds Are Nothing, It Turns Out

I thought I was done writing about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s poor launch of its first season starring the Joker. But now I learned something that made me...

Dissapointing how this turned out and keeps getting worse.
So much time, energy and money wasted...just incredible sad to see.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is currently embroiled in a hacker problem that has resulted in unreleased skins, seasons, and even playable characters leaking online.

More Conroy is always a good thing... literally the only thing that I care about with this game.



Apparently Rocksteady will finish up the 5th season and then pull the plug. I wonder if they'll even get there before WB steps in.

At this point it takes a Miracle for this game to survive the year.
The one thing i could see helps for a while, is to make it PS+ and release the whole current road map...but i doubt the characters are finished to do so.
i dont see how you breath new life into this game at this point.

This game is reminding me of the Flash's box office, I wasn't expecting it to succeed, but the level of failure it has managed to achieve is its own kind of impressive, this game WISHES it was Avengers or Anthem.

I mean...the flash movie at least got its basic budget back(allegedly)...i doubt this game can get do that.
But its crazy when you look back how people thought nothing could be as bad as the Avengers game...and here we are.
Something that is deader way faster than that game.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Yeah this **** is straight up dookie. I wouldn't be suprised if they pull the plug by the end of the year. I have zero interest in their projects moving forward.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Oof...



WB dragging their own game to filth.

Maybe Lady Freeze will turn things around.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, Rocksteady is done. I don't see them finishing what they have planned.

 

[Mani-Man]

Yeah, Rocksteady is done. I don't see them finishing what they have planned.

If WB is already dragging it and blaming Rocksteady, yeah it seems more and more likely that it wont survive the year.
I just hope Rocksteady survives, because god knows we have enough lay offs this year already.
Rocksteady is a good team, there are good ideas in this...but it was doomed from the start.

The question now is, how to move forward?
I know what i would do, but what will WB do...thats the question.

EDIT:

But no matter what, it is crazy when you consider Rocksteady gone from the studio that defined a genre new with their Batman games...to the studio that wanted to do a live service Multiplayer loot shooter.
Like, yeah 7-9 years ago live service games were different, new and stuff...but still a very strange mindset for a studio.

 

[TheVileOne]

Rocksteady wanted to make a live-service multiplayer game. This is at least partially at their feet. Seems rather convenient that Sefton Hill and the other studio heads ditched the studio before this came out and when abuse allegations started surfacing. Seems like they knew they had a bomb on their hands and abandoned ship while the getting was good.

Everyone wants a simple scapegoat here, but there are probably multiple layers and levels of blame to go around.

They should've just let WB Games Montreal finish their Batman Beyond game instead of forcing them to make that Gotham Knights trash.

As I've said before, live service games are a scam. This is why I'm done with live service games.

When they started their project that would turn into SSKTJL, Live service multiplayer games werent the garbage they are right now.
It was a fresh and new idea, so i cant blame them on that.
It does look fishy when the studio heads leave the studio at the time they did...so at least they saw that something was wrong.

In 2024 and after all we have found out in the recent years about the Industry etc, i blame publishers and studio heads...never really the developers of games.
You can divide the blame between WB suits and Rocksteady Suits imo.

Its impossible to say how other games would have done, especially when we know too little about them.
I think on a basic level, Gotham Knights could have worked.
But starting out with

Spoiler

Killing Batman

is a rough start to a game already.
Then the mechanical flaws etc.
But the basic idea could have worked, i cant blame them on that.

Yup, i avoid them as much as i can.
Disney Speedstorm is a game i play daily, but i dont put any money or so in it.
Its good for a few races every day, but other than that...i avoid live service games when i can.
