    Also, who even asked for this?

    A Suicide Squad game could have been really neat, exploring aspects and characters of the DC universe that people aren’t usually exposed to (much like the comic did)

    Instead we get a multi-player shooter which doesn’t even work with the strength of the studio and sets up a really pointless, nihilistic slog just to try and get people to play a game endlessly

    Which is a damn shame because this is likely gonna result in Rocksteady getting lay-offs

        It’s a fucking shame too, because Rocksteady has made a really good shooter in the past

        Urban Chaos: Riot Response was one of the best FPS games of the ps2/Xbox Era

        If Suicide Squad had used some of the stuff from that game and modernized it, we’d probably be talking about how cool the game was

          You think a corpo has played that game? I’d bet that they saw a clip of fortnite and told the devs to make the game play like that because it’s popular with them kids.

            One of the Warner Brothers was like, Destiny makes a ton of money, make a crappier version of it where you kill Superman and Batman, the kids will love it

            Then they all escaped the water tower to harass Dr. Scratchensniff and watch Pinky and The Brain try to take over the world
