You really love to see the disparity in gameplay in suicide squad, like how with Harley Quinn you can use her patented guns to kill enemies, or how boomerang uses his classic guns to shoot people, or king shark’s famous guns that he uses to gun down foes, or even deadshots iconic guns – ok that one fair enough ig
Really makes them feel fully realized as their own individual characters. Excellent design theory on rocksteady’s part
And let’s not forget to abandon the iconic combo-based melee system that made Rocksteady famous. No one could possibly want that!
Don’t forget to mention that timeless mechanic of shooting glowing weakspots.
Rocksteady making suicide squad live service shows that even the best devs can fall to horrible trends
True indeed. 💯
@Sebastian Ramsey yes it does
Biggest disappointment of 2023 so far
@Sebastian Ramsey it kinda does as it will encourage slimy tactics such as lock quality of life improvements or fixes behind free or pay live service that should already be in the base game because they are too greedy or lazy lets not even talk about content
@Frank Basile
Nah they overdid it with the Batmobile. Like it was cool for awhile and then they even made a final Deadshot battle just a tank off
Man, the suicide squad game is nothing close to what I’d expect from the studio that made the Arkham games.

@Mylynes it’s fair to say they didn’t scrap it, the publisher did
It’s literally just anthem with cool music.
@Ali No, that’s WB montreal
@Mylynes and the damian wayne batman game
When will devs understand that we don’t want live service battle pass systems in full priced games
The moment you stop buying em
When we stop buying them in record numbers.
The misuse of “literally” again 😂
When they stop thinking about lifetime value and more about actual player experience 😂
Publishers you mean. Devs have nothing to do with it.
Capcom deserves a rest after carrying literally the entire presentation on their back.
💯
“Capcom cared!”, but are they the devs of Tetris Effect and Rez Infinite? Nope!
@postblitz And?
In all honesty we kinda seen enough of RE4 and SF6 anyway. Much rather they showed off more Exoprimal along with Beta release date (yeah remember that?) and maybe another surprise?
Capcom is pretty lucky because, SILENT HILL wasnt on this presentation… lol…
Humanity reminds me of Japan Studio’s output, I am totally on board with that crazy concept. Like the experimental days of the PS1, PS3, and PSP. Like The Last Guy mixed with Tokyo Jungle mixed with Echochrome and Intelligent Qube
Not many know all those games you mentioned off the top of their head. Great taste in games bro. Yes it really does feel like all those in one and I thought the same thing as you did.
Same here. I love that kind of thing
More and more this game feels like the avengers game.
Yup, i thought so too.
Lol I think you called it perfectly
@maddo at least the gameplay looks fun, its not like most of another third person shooter games that have similarity (regular movement, crafting, zombies, etc.), this game is more like sunset overdrive, and that game has extremely positive reviews because of how fun it is
Tchia… yeah, I feel the same way about it
This State of Play really made me feel like watching something else
Suicide Squad being a live service has almost completely dashed all my hype for the game.
Honestly on games like this I don’t mind so much. You can completely ignore that aspect and still enjoy the game. It was the same with Avengers. The single player campaign was fun for me. I never spent extra money past the initial 60. Like I’ll buy Suicide Squad but probably never play online and definitely never pay for a battle pass. Battle passes are dumb in every game across the board. You are essentially paying to feel rushed to grind to unlock things before it expires. So you’re paying for things you may never unlock if you don’t have the time.
@Russell Lapua people don’t wanna listen. Like you said, it couldn’t be more obvious and now it’s confirmed.
Really? It was painstakingly obvious what kind of game it was when those screenshots leaked. And to think I got shot down for saying it was going to be exactly like this on Reddit.
@Raul Adamson It’s an actual game instead of this messy piece of 💩
Not the best game, but at least they got it right in terms of gameplay
@Swmpzor do realize that is Avengers was done by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos right?
I’ve seen 2 to 3 minutes of RE4 and that game some how showed so much to excite me in such a small amount of time. How is that even possible.
I had played RE4 on my PS2. It was one of the best RE games ever.
The improvement in graphics of the remake is awesome that has me itching to play it again.
I’m very optimistic, but: Never pre-order, wait for reviews. ☝️
Isn’t it just a remake of the game that’s already been ported/updated 10 times?
@Michael Lovejoy your loss chief
I honestly don’t know because it’s not all that impressive. I’ll stick with the Original.
