Every year, gamers everywhere pore over that year’s video game offerings and lay their claim as to which of those games are their favorites. They will also lambaste the games that they thought sucked harder than a Thai prostitute during shore leave. And like clockwork, gamers will spew bile when mentioning what I have come to call the Troika of Shit, the three game publishers that seem to piss off the entirety of gamedom every year. These publishers, of course, are EA, Activision, and Ubisoft.
Saad from eXputer: "Despite the success of Hogwarts Legacy, WB's decided to focus on live service and I've lost all hope for a potential sequel."
Let's just chalk this game up as a fantastic one-off, and WB can go f******* rot in hell.
I have no idea how eceutive teams can look at both Hogwarts and suicide squad next to each other and go hey our critical and commercial darling was a fluke suicide squad was the real success they just didn't know it.
Seemingly there's some weird ego involved someone wants to be proven right
I bought thought it was okay first 10 hrs then boy did the repeative gameplay kick in
They will realize that live service games die pretty much as soon as they begin and then they’ll stop and we may still get a sequel.
With Suicide Squad KTJL now available on PS5 and Xbox, WB Games is developing new DC Comics games, but Superman isn't a priority right now.
With Spider-Man doing well, with an upcoming Wolverine game coming down the line, and the leak that an X-Men game is coming to PlayStation, and games like Guardians of the Galaxy doing well, just give us a Justice League game. I'm sick of just seeing Batman made even though I like Batman.
I want a Superman game. But not if the developers aren't capable of making a great game with the character. I can see different levels made with the different characters to show their powers in Justice League. Even an underwater Aquaman level where you can use his communication powers with sea creatures would be great. With a boss battle with Black Manta in and out of the water. A Flash level running through the streets against Reverse Flash, in the sky and in space battles with Green Lantern or Superman. Fighting on Paradise Island with Wonder Woman, etc. Either fighting the Legion of Doom or Brainiac controlling villains. Just something Epic. You could mix and match super heroes on different levels. But the game would be much harder to play as those characters because that hero would be at a disadvantage.
That's what I want anyway. It doesn't just have to be Superman only.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Superman character just doesn't work in a video game. Between his abilities and his singular weakness, any game where you actually *feel* like Superman will basically have you in god mode the whole time.
The whole bad guys using kryptonite to weaken him thing is super boring at this point. Also, an origin story where he's slowly learning his powers will only work for one game before you run into the same problems again. You can't take away his powers as an adult because it's a cheap gimmick and people hate it. He's just not a good character to build a game around.
Superman as the bad guy where you're struggling to survive and take him down? Eh, maybe, but it wouldn't be a Superman game anyway at that point.
WB presented the most creative enemy AI with the Nemesis system, only to lock it up in a vault and pump out trash live-service games instead.
I'm glad there's at least some people working on AI that want to give it away and for it to benefit people, not just to fill their pockets like this.
Damn Op held no punches back.
The hate is in the hearts of potential consumers who have been screwed over by these publishers again and again. One mistake is too many in the gaming/entertainment industry and yet these publishers are repeat offenders who get worse and worse and still expect people will buy there half-assed products.
What's the problem with Activision or EA this year?
Yet WB released horrendous Pc version of their games.
1) MKX that had really bad support since day1 (here's a funny video explaining all the crap pc players had to endure)

To add salts on the wound the Kombat pack2 won't be available for pc players
2) Batman Arkham who would have gone the same way if it wasn't for Steam refund.
WB remove the pc version to re release it 6 months after and the version is still inferior to the console version.
