talking specifically about suicide squad

Not gonna lie, that made me want to go watch some more “Harley Quinn” (the animated series), which absolutely would be that self-aware.

I suck at PvP shooters but am pretty good single player and was really looking forward to the PvE mode. Now I have no reason to ever play this game.

Frankly it’s just absurd to just assume it would have sucked. Whatever else you want to say about OW, it’s clear that Blizzard knows how to make a mechanically competent…

It was funny at the time how many people on reddit and elsewhere died on that sword of “its alpha its gonna be better”.

Lots of unfavorable coverage, followed by a delay, followed by more unfavorable coverage, and now “Oh god please talk favorably about our game but absolutely do not let people see our game”.

At this point, Overwatch 2 is basically the rake gag from The Simpsons

Will it work? Perhaps.

I mean live service or not, the gameplay I saw was four characters using similar but apparently different-feeling superleapy traversal to unload bullets into giant glowing weak spots, which is not a gameplay style I’m especially interested in, especially as a followup to the Arkham games.  Like even if they do an…

So the unbiased journalists they let demo the game this week didn’t like it, and now they’re hoping to muddy the waters by letting the players they gave access in November post about it. I’m not sure who the Nov group was, but I’m guessing it included people/non-professionals who are likely to be favorable to…

i think midnight suns has found an audience

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is the first generation since the Gamecube at least that Nintendo didn’t ever put their games on sale as a Player’s Choice or Nintendo Selects later in the cycle.

If that’s the case, it’s about time we got Selects games again. I’ll happily pay $20 or so for Pikmin 3 and Tropical Freeze again...definitely worth it for that price compared to the absurd $60 price tag for WiiU ports (no matter how Funky the Switch encore for Tropical Freeze was)

Yeah, but it’s also got the same problem as Avengers, where certain things are just different enough (in Suicide Squad’s case, it’s the unique traversal mechanics of each person), that it makes you wish the game wasn’t built around supporting all of them, so it could go deeper on the fun mechanics. I remember playing…

Only with less personality, at least Avengers wasn’t “just give everyone guns” as the way each hero played factored more into their unique hero identity rather than just “Captain america with a rifle”

If the only good thing about a game is the cut scenes, it should be a TV show or a movie, not a game.  I say this as someone that really prefers a game have good story/lore, as I want to be invested in what’s happening.  On the other side of the coin, though, if it’s a boring slog to get from one bit of story to the…

While I’m sure it’s not doomed to the same fate and all...

If you want to play a modern version of the good Arkham games, just play Insomniac’s Spiderman. Bespoke, narrative side-quests and detailed environments crafted with clear intention - along with that sort of ‘dodge and parry when this icon is above your head’ gameplay that, when done right, feels slick as hell.

Why…

Poor Rockstar has fully crawled up their own ass so deep they have a second office there!

Nobody is trying to “gotcha” you, we just want you to ACKNOWLEDGE THE REALITY OF WHAT YOU ARE MAKING! Now, obviously they KNOW, but most likely it’s the marketing or executive teams that are keeping pressure on the devs to not use…

I mean this is what people wanted when they said they wanted free to play game with cosmetic purchases only. They don’t get to keep making their free to play game free to play unless they can hook whales and there’s no gameplay being locked behind any of these purchases so the complaint is purely that you don’t get to…

This game is going to fail and I’m sorry for those who hope that they’re wrong about it being bad.
