Suicide Squad's Development Was A MESS 

Executives: "it's the player's fault"

We've never got got for title and thumbnail, but we have been got for video contents. I think they're two separate systems.

@@BellularNews praise to youtube's consistency 🤮

That is RU-vid for you.

another thing that is confusing is that you don't need to redact the word "kill" in the video when shown on screen but you apparently can't say it 🤨

Because RU-vid's policies are arbitrary nonsense.

When does Concord come out? Haha

@@emulationemperor8924 August I think, and it's definitely going to flop hard. Harder than Suicide Squad? We'll see, but that seems like a pretty good bet to make.

@@emulationemperor8924 Concord was exactly what I was thinking too

Concord must have the best gameplay to carry them otherwise us gamers will crucify that game as well

Its funny because its true we never even hear about these games until the month of release

Is that a Futurama reference? Lol 😂

Millennial Reddit humor is one of the problems with the game, so I'm shocked you disliked it.

@@Yarsig care to cite an example of millennial reddit humor in the game that I should theoretically be into?

😂😂👍👍

Forever Sleepers: Sandman The Good Guys Hey, you're right!

A Superfriends-themed Suicide Squad game sounds significantly more interesting than what we got.

XD

even worst... Arcane studios, I love those batman games. Ugh I wish Warner Bros would just let them make single player games

BioWare isn’t even bad

Do tell. To be honest most people shouldn't have expected a Hogwarts Legacy success, which the opposite would be the real shameful outlook. Nobody at Rocksteady did the Arkham series when full development started on this game and it was never marketed as a Singleplayer game. Shameful for this year within the gaming industry has been named as MS already.

Of course, Redfall and Saints Row shows what happens when the execs are not involved in the process and kept in the loop too. A middle ground probably should be found in the process.

Are you sure? Redfall bombed while this sold well enough as Suicide Squad was 3rd on the NPDs for January and February. At the same time there were no lies on this project and was in production for 8 years.

@@chris9206 Still lost $200M. So it still very much bombed.

@@Hydraclone That doesn't mean anything. Now it's a waste that 8 years was spent on the game, which Online games aren't cheap. Don't focus on the semantics especially when 2024 has been another huge and competitive year for games. Pretty much you're only mentioning one small part of the story opposed to the whole story.

Because making a good game has become less important to too many studios.

At least Sega had half a brain to kill of Hyenas even if it was ready to launch.

WB is a spectacularly incompetent company.

@@Toonrick12 Creative Assembly tends to listen to it's community, so (while CA makes MANY mistakes, Hyenas being one of several) it's easier for CA and Sega to can bad ideas before release

because they are told by others, that it will totally work, if they pay this outsourcer-company enough money to make it "attract a new audience". Sweet baby

Funny how the restaurant business basically works for every analogy. :D But yeah, its complex, yet simple at the same time, easy to understand for everyone.,

No, that’s wrong. Rocksteady did not hire WB, and never wanted to make this game It’s more a steak house hiring a steak chef and asking them to lead the efforts of the new vegan menu

When the line god becomes displeased and refuses any offerings to it.

I mean this also happened with Skull and Bones. And this isn't only happening now.

That said, the new Saints Row had hands-off management approach and we all saw how badly it bombed. The Redfall execs point-blank lied to Microsoft execs in order to get their game out and we saw it bomb too. There needs to be a middle-ground somewhere.

​@@TuramwddYep. Bad management is, well, bad. But so is a complete lack of direction. This is part of why _actually good_ management is worth a lot. Sadly it is far too easy for hucksters, egomaniacs, and people ruled by greed to "fake it" long enough to get handed that kind of power and responsibility.

Knowing you are holding up production with your own shortcomings and then just carrying on like there's no problem isn't perfectionism, it's simply bad management.

Also known as arrogance

Something was super scummy! Why would the FOUNDERS of a studio leave after known studio killer Sweet baby incorporated was hired by WB?🙄

what that he still won't say the words "SWEET BABY"?

​@@XX-121it's nothing burger. you're listening to the grifters like Mark Kern unlike the facts like Last Stand Media or Bellular.

​@@XX-121The only aspects that SBI _might be_ responsible for are the changes to Harley's character and Deadshot's race, and there are other plausible explanations if you've actually followed WB/DC attentively over the last ten years. That gameplay, (enemy/mission) variety, and story are trash isn't some DEI conspiracy.

@@twincast2005 yeah being that every game they've been even remotely involved with has been utter garbage. just a coincidence i guess.

@@XX-121 Great games like Alan Wake 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Spider-man 2, are all on their resume. In fact Suicide Squad is literally the only notable bad game on their resume.

Words like "Suicide" and "Kill" get a video automatically demonetized by the system. So you get "self-delete". Sometimes they will even get comments automatically removed too.

Suicide, Kill -> PG 16/18 Demonitised

You can also get your comments “invisibled” with the wrong words.

@@nhagan001 yes and they don't tell you, they pretend your comment was posted, it shows you posted it, but open the video on a different device without logging in and your comment will not be there. I also recently actively got a warning on my RU-vid home page about a comment of mine being removed for "violating our harassment policies" with a threat to "disable my account", and the worst part? They DON'T TELL YOU what comment was even deleted, or what the actual problem was, so you can't even act on their warning, it's nonsense. Google has 0 accountability, they treat their users like dirt.

​@@nhagan001 I've noticed mines disappear....🙄

That is RU-vid automatic moderation and ad sales though and not social media in this case.

@@TrackMediaOnly what do you think youtube is...

Orwellian.

You do know that greed is dominated at every level in the Business World, right? You can't operate with the lights on without a continuous flow of money coming in. Every game is a gamble while a greater gamble is a Live Service game. If a Live Service game hits soft then you can make your money back but if it hits then you're making a lot of money. We saw these moves over many years between all of the MMOs and MOBAs that got released. What about the consulting? Don't listen to Mark Kern and the grifters. Most of the Live Service games come and go just like his former Firefall. Most of the controversy are from idiots and grifters since you playing the villains killing brainwashed heroes and the Fortnite inspired designs were never hidden throughout the 6 years of advertising on this game. This is a literal nothing burger like 99% of the game controversies that pop up.

I thought Sweet Baby Inc was not recruited until all of the cutscenes and their scripts were already made and that they were just consultants and not major story writers.

@@thomasalvarenga2839 if they had no impact than they were a waste of money....

Lmao I swear 😂🤦🏾‍♂️ people need to stop being followers RU-vid doesn’t care about these types of words & now it’s spreading to social media because someone heard it

@@MrAjking808 It's everywhere. I'm so tired of it.

@@Seoul_Soldier same people just copy whatever they see or hear

So that's Redfall's former team?

​@@MrAjking808You're the one spreading disinformation in this case. If you don't rely on YT ad revenue, sure, you can say almost anything to your heart's content on RU-vid. But if you do, using "dangerous" words will see your livelihood plummet. That's simply a fact.

Both are incredibly bad

How much is does 6/1 cost? I know it’s weird talking money in comments but I gotta know

The marketing for it was honestly horrible for this game and did not give hope to be a good game etheir. Felt very uninspired even from the marketing side.

devs are not to blame, they are people that want to have their job, love their job AND actually voiced concerns before most of us, if not all of us. The problem is with the higher management, which is now the higher management not in Rocksteady.

Glad you realised before the refund limit passed. And that you got it on a platform that does refunds. I play alot on playstation and refuse to purchase anything unless I am certain I will either enjoy it, its massively discounted, or I wont regret supporting the company It has to be a massive disaster for sony to refund anything with their policy

They don't write the games... They just offer advice. That's literally all.
