Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has the deck stacked pretty high against it. I didn't see anything to make me think that this will thrive as a live service, but as a one-and-done campaign experience, I'm actually pretty keen for this one.

It's hard to tell from all the trailers, but it seems really bizarre to me that each character doesn't have gear centred around their identity - baseball bats for Harley Quinn, boomerangs for Captain Boomerang, etc. You could have something like plated teeth for King Shark and wrist guns for Deadshot. By all means, give them a basic arsenal of weapons, but make the main focus on their class-centric weapon of choice.

@SillyRiz 7 месяцев назад

They do actually have gear centred around their identity, for example harley does get different bats and deadshot has different writst cannons, however it is very much a looter 'shooter' so the melee doesnt do much

this is my biggest issue with the game. it just looks like a generic live service shooter with DC character skins. they could literally insert anyone in there, like have aquaman or green arrow fly around in a jetpack with a bazooka. it's just stupid and completely ruins the fantasy of playing as these characters, which i'd argue is the only reason to play a licensed game like this.

@emmyjr1231 7 месяцев назад

what depresses me more about this is that unlike a regular game that bombs and the studio moves on to a different thing, Rocksteady will likely try to support this game for a few more years (live service and all), which means, we aren't getting a quality Rocksteady project for a long time.

@hieroglyph3027 7 месяцев назад

As someone who played the beta I can confirm the story is the best part. The combat was tedious as you had to constantly move around and since it relies on a combo system it only really works when enemies are clustered. The itemization is awful. It's basically Crackdown in the DC universe.

King Shark... famously known for shooting guns. Imagine if every character had unique gameplay so you could have like 4 different playstyles... Harley playing like Bayonetta with baseball bat and guns, King Shark being this tanky demolisher, deadshot as classic tpp shooter/sniper guy, and boomerang using his main weapon to do mid range aoe attacks and dodges/teleports. But no... they just have guns.

@Evanz111 7 месяцев назад

I still reckon this is being blown out of proportion. I mean look at it more as the Titan/Hunter/Warlock setup in Destiny.

It is insane to me that this game is based around guns instead of melee combat. The funniest part is that by giving all of the characters guns, you undermine Deadshot's entire character fantasy. More than that, Rocksteady has always specialized in satisfying and rewarding melee combat. What in the actual hell were they thinking when making this game? They took almost all of their own strengths and just decided "Nah, I'mma do my own thing".

I’d love to be wrong who knows maybe this is the one to break the mould but iv been burned too many times to care now. Recent games like baldurs and palworld have just proven what devs that are allowed to focus on fun and freedom can create incredible experiences that generate a lot of money instead of this type of tripe that generally comes down 15 dollars for the colour blue on your gun, never understood looter shooters cause the core gameplay gets gutted when armour packs and battle passes come into play, you’ll end up wearing the same cosmetic you got or bought instead of armour and weapons you’ve grinded for 🤣

What sucks even more is the greedy execs taking good 1-player studios, make them do live service, it fails (because let's be honest, live service is a great genre but it has a finite fan base while the rest of us are not interested in touching it with a 10-foot pole). And when it fails - the execs punish the studio, disband it or sack employees. Thus forever robbing all of us to see another game that they were actually great at making. It's like World of Warcraft. There is ZERO sense making a WoW killer unless you can guarantee it can be bigger and better than wow in every area, OR that it offers something unique that doesn't even compete with WoW at all (like story in ffxiv or class fantasy of GW). Because even if you make WoW-equivalent - people will not switch from WoW easily because their friends and character investment keeps them there. Execs just don't get it. They think that making a Live Service game is easy money, and it really, REALLY isn't.

I appreciate giving Rocksteady the benefit of the doubt here, but that overall game loop you described sounds utterly dull, the on-screen "shoot purple blob" gameplay speaks for itself, and your assessment of the combat and weapons was pretty damning too. I've just started Monster Hunter World with some friends, watched your review yesterday, and the way that you spoke about that game's gameplay variety and combat finesse, how each and every weapon felt masterfully fine-tuned and unique, compared to this title with its "flashy" combat and generic weaponry, is beyond night and day. I just don't see what's stopping gamers from just watching this game as a cutscene compilation or let's play, if all it has to offer as a live-service is a well-presented story and good performances. I feel like the comparisons to Marvel's Avengers and Gotham Knights, both of which you also tepidly praised over story content but critiqued over gameplay frustrations, may end up being this game's fate. I guess we can only see how it all plays out.
