They had mentioned crossplay a long time ago. I’d love to hear an update on that to be able to play with friends that only have Xbox or playstation

If I ever bought this game I would play the campaign then promptly uninstall it.

Darkborn956d ago

It's actually not that bad now. They fixed a lot months ago.

Magog956d ago

I just don't like live service games. I want my games to have a beginning middle and end. Otherwise it just feels like working a second job.

lellkay956d ago

The only improvement would be to let it die and just end it's suffering.

Snakeeater25956d ago

Did the game prevent you to sleep at night ?
Do you wake up hating the dev and gamers who still play if yes, you should stop gaming

lellkay956d ago

Did my comment hurt you?
If it did I'm sorry, mummy bring you a warm milk and cookie before beddy to make it feel better.

crossplay isn't happening with exclusive heroes involved...

staticall956d ago

Asking for «Marketplace Discounts» in $60 AAA game from gigantic publisher, just pathetic.

How about better story, more bosses, more enemy variety (not only cosmetic, but gameplay-wise too), more heroes, more content, fix bugs, better gameplay, faster updates, for G-d sake. Game was released a year ago, made by 5 companies and it still struggles so much, it's embarassing. And all you ask from them is cross play, more bosses, switch heroes on-the-fly, better customization and discounts in an in-game shop.

I’m so ready for Suicide Squad to fill the Avengers void in my life

Marvel’s Avengers didn’t soar properly on PS5 and Xbox, but Kill the Justice League looks like it will improve on it in every way.

I can’t work out if this guy is just being sarcastic

Leeroyw102d ago

This website pumps out one shill article after the other. Does not qualify as journalism.

ShwaaMan102d ago

Said the guy who just got a big check from WB.

YourMommySpoils102d ago

Does that mean it will have a thousand pointless costumes like Avengers did, not related to the game or source?

coolbeans102d ago

"Guy who's excited for Suicide Squad to fill the void left by The Avengers' closure."

Traecy102d ago

I'll be checking it out on day one of release.

Why Have Many of the Online Multiplayer Games of the Past Five Years Failed?

Here's a look at why so many online-multiplayer games from the past five years have struggled to retain players and their attention.

ChasterMies204d ago

Or put another way, why don’t people want to invest in an on-line storefront?

sparky77204d ago

It's simply FOMO.

Gamers always go back to their staples like COD or Fortnite. Those games have constant content and leaving them for another game means getting left behind. Why start a new game and be behind when you can stay with a game you already excel at.

Number1TailzFan204d ago (Edited 204d ago )

COD is replaced every year or almost every year, it has no time to hold a player base. 3-4 years is a good timeline for a sequel IMO if the game has enough content to begin with, maybe add a couple of free content updates a bit later after release if needed, and job done until the next game.

Soldier of Fortune 2 was one of my first few online FPS games apart from RTCW and a couple of others, and that had a couple of free patches which added in new weapons, maps and a new game mode in just a year or so. I hope the series makes a comeback, I heard MS owns it now and it has been dormant for a while.

The only sequel that came fast (just 1 year later) that impressed me with extra content over the original was L4D2, makes me wonder what happened with Valve. If they can do that in one year then what have they been doing since..

-Foxtrot204d ago (Edited 204d ago )

Because it's not about putting out a fully completed game packed with content and something that actually works

It's about putting something out broken and barebones, slowly drip feed content with a roadmap and offering tons of MTs which they hope people will buy.

I miss when you'd just get games like Killzone or Halo and they'd get a couple of DLC packs then the developers would move onto the next game. Problem is they started to be influenced by COD where future games had to have gimmicks, weapon mods, loadouts, killstreaks and other shit which just become about what you had unlocked rather than skill.

The last multiplayer game I really enjoyed was Uncharted 2s, it was literally just two boosters and everyone started with the same weapons. It was great and felt like it was more about skill but then we got Uncharted 3 and 4 where the COD influence creeped in thinking that everything had to be bigger rather than sticking to the fanbase they had.

Nitrowolf2204d ago

i agree. i used to love MP games for these titles, and be excited about the map packs and such. now it's we will release one mode and one map, and see how people take to the game. Flops? cool move on.

isarai203d ago

Even before the PS3 generation ended, I was already longing for a return to simplistic MP without all the XP, booster, perks, and ridiculous custom loadouts full of op exploitation. Like there's definitely a huge audience for that, but there's NO classic style simple MP modes anymore, I'm just asking for some

ZeekQuattro204d ago

Most people don't have the time to invest into playing multiple GAAS and stick to just one. It also doesn't help that so many games in that field only have a roadmap laid out for the first month or so. Hard to keep people invested when you don't give them a reason to stick around after the initial launch month.

excaliburps203d ago

Yep. I know what you mean. I can't play more than 1-2 live service games at a time (this includes shooters) since it's just so overwhelming.

shinoff2183204d ago (Edited 204d ago )

My theory , well online gaming just sucks, so many online games recently that if done the right way could've been dope ass single player games. One that comes to mind evil dead. What a waste of the title
