Always Online Single-Player Games Are Anti-Player And Anti-Preservation

TG: “Last week, we learned that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will require an Internet connection at all times, even when you're playing it single-player. That's bad news for players, and even worse news for game preservationists.”

I completely agree with this. It's bad news period. Especially for those like me that prefer physical media. What happens when. Things get shut down. Well you sir are f Ed

I don't want no part in that

"What happens when. Things get shut down"

That's literally the main thing those who defend this practice don't realise, the amount of "oh please, everyone has online these days" comments you see but you never see anyone come up with a good counter point about when the games get shut down making your game worthless because you literally can't defend it

Some people like going back to their old games, it may be a decade later or something but at least you can do it if you want.

CobraKai409d ago

100% agree. I go back to Genesis, GameCube, Saturn, etc. all the time. I will never have to worry about not accessing the game. Online only is a deal breaker and it’s sad that at some point in time I may not be able to play Gran Turismo 7 or Suicide Squad, should I ever decide to buy those games, but I can play GT 1 or Arkham Asylum on dated hardware.

“Everyone is online these days” is not actually true. And yeah, there’s no real counterpoint to support online only. I’ve also heard “Well by the time they end support, you got your money’s worth” which is asinine thinking. If I bought it, I should keep it. Forever.

shinoff2183409d ago

I go back and play old games all the time. Im playing star ocean 1 right now. Meanwhile I got hogwarts on back up. I just dont understand the defense of it. To defend something that clearly isnt a big deal to you to begin with doesnt mean its not an issue. I dont get how anyone can defend this. We as consumers should shut this sh down before every game gets like this. Personally I think alot of younger people are just to shor sighted. What happens the defender turns idk 35 and their like damn I could really go for such and such game its been years. Well guess what you cant

1Victor410d ago

But but but digital only is the future 🥺

I expect a quick XBO when they see the sales tanking and patch it to “no longer require always online” for the single player

fan_of_gaming410d ago

I also hate the digital-only trend but this issue isn't related to that, as it also affects physical copies.

1Victor410d ago

@fan this is just a test to see if gamers accept it same as the golden horse armor if they see enough player accept it it will become a normal for all the games just as it’s now normal to pay $5 for a skin in games

Aloymetal410d ago

Exactly!
When MS revealed the Xbone they were shredded for announcing online DRM and no game sharing.
They went back to the drawing table and they've been ready since June 2017 to try it again. This time they call it xCloud and GamePass.

CobraKai409d ago

Yes. I’ve been saying this and people hate it. They literally took what MS said about the Xbox One. Repackaged it and sold it to the masses. And the masses, who were so vehemently against it, ate it up. And not only that but they want more.

XxINFERNUSxX410d ago

If you remember, Crash Bandicoot 4 on PC requires a permanent internet connection in order to play, yet the game was cracked by none other than EMPRESS and no internet needed. 😁 Also a server can be reversed engineered to simulate a server or a client, it just takes time and pirates do love a challenge. 🖥️🙃

Chocoburger410d ago

Publishers that do things like this won't be getting my money going forward, that's for sure.

I don't need their GAAS, and clearly they don't want me as a customer anymore. More money in my pocket, awesome.

Report: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Future Seasons to Feature Batman and More

According to leaks, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's future seasons will see the return of Batman as well as Arkham's Deathstroke.

-Foxtrot12d ago

So our Batman is actually dead then and died in such an awful way after everything he went through.

Meanwhile their big plan is to revive a version of him from a Medieval Elseworld

Wow. They really ruined the Arkhamverse in a single game.

TheKingKratos11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

It's not canon to me

Also it's so stupid to go with Brainiac instead of Darkseid for this elseworld story

DrDoomer11d ago

They must have brought in Neil Cuckmann to write and direct that scene.

0hMyGandhi11d ago

I can honestly imagine you hammering away that last "n" of his name on your keyboard and laughing hysterically to yourself.
Grow up.

Leeroyw11d ago

Gives sweet baby Inc a chance to make the next Batman diverse.

Knightofelemia12d ago

Medieval Elseworld really that sounds like a bigger mess then what the game is. Kudos I have respect that Conroy made some last voice recordings as Batman. But I am still not touching this game I myself I don't do loot and shoot and live service games.

Demetrius12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Lmao must have been some jealousy management had towards the OG rocksteady guys, forcing them to make thus trash and ruin the arkham verse smh now I know we will never get another legit batman title cause the bozos ruined it smh

Hofstaderman12d ago

Wow WB is really committed to this train wreck....

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s First Season is Already Dead on Arrival

Season of the Joker offers little new story content, a recycled boss fight, and a repetitive grind to unlock its new playable character.

Having to do 1520 missions to finish the battle pass is perhaps the worst battle pass given by any Triple AAA company so far o_O

Repulsive last-ditch effort to get some cash, you've got some funky illegal shit dropping in the storefront though, launching discounted emotes from 1,700 ($17) to 850 ($8.50)

8 Yrs for this shitshow.

just_looken17d ago

If you head 2 the games reddit there are still defenders sadly

Lexreborn216d ago

If there are people who like the game they like the game. That’s not a defense if it’s their reality.

Knightofelemia17d ago

Sill one ugly looking Joker right up there with the Leto Joker. And this Joker still looks like he pitches left field.

anast16d ago

I need to figure out how all these people find money to fail.

RiseNShine16d ago

Possibly the ugliest joker of all time, at least that's something this game will be remembered for.

Suicide Squad Season 1 isn’t enough off the bat, but can it recover?

Kill the Justice League Season 1 is here and it isn't as bad as you've likely heard, but it isn't enough after the long post-launch wait.

NO. Also, I hope it doesn't. Yes I'm a hater when it comes to this game.

YourMommySpoils18d ago

Do we need to keep getting these horrible thumbnails of this horrible Joker, that keep coming closer and closer. As if anyone wants to see him.

anast18d ago

It it were a deep single player experience, they would have sold millions. But they wanted to put lipstick on a monetization scheme and this is what they got.

TheColbertinator18d ago

WB just doesn't get it. They are so lost up in their own butt.

FinalFantasyFanatic17d ago

And they're planning to double down on this strategy instead of making something like Hogwarts Legacy, they're not going to learn until it really hurts.

Hofstaderman18d ago

Jesus isnt this piece of trash dead yet?
