    it’s a joke… play single player, connecting to online services* "okay whatever… 3 minutes in every single time… error failed to connect to online services and proceeds to kick you to title screen… what a fucking joke

      shit like that is annoying, especially if the game does not really need an online connection if you want to play solo. It seems like you already played it, is it possible to habe multiple characters in the game like two Deadshots or Boomerangs?

        When playing single player you can switch between all four characters at will outside of missions.

      It might just be in-context. For all I know it’s a quite solid live service game now - unlike in the previews, which were truly terribly bad and laughable.

      But that’s the thing, it’s still a soulless and styleless and barely suicide squad live service game. But the bar for those is so low overall, this might be quite good in comparison, so if you enjoy the near-endless time investment and this is your genre of choice for those, this might be a good fit for you. Personally I have FFXIV for that, so eh, not really interested at all. 🤷

        Gameplay looked quiet fun to be honest and I always like a good coop game. And gameplay is actually the thing I care for, this is also one of the reason I quit FF14 after 800+ hours because in the end it was just a “run to the next text passage” in between the LFG instead of actual gameplay but I have Guild Wars 2 for this.

      How the hell has this game gotten 8/10?

      maybe it’s not that bad? I mean the only big outlet who actually think its that bad and is riding this meta is IGN and I dont understand why people suddenly follow IGN or give a shit about their review/oppinion so much. Youtubers like Skillup for example actually liked the game, it sure won’t be a GOTY nominee or will get 9’s and 10’s, but I personally still can have fun with a 7 out of 10 which where I see the game could be landing.

      Because it is actually a decent game and is a lot of fun to play. The story is silly, as expected. Combat and movement are a ton of fun.

      My only current complaint is the missions are a bit repetitive.

    I cannot be the only one intrigued by the story concept of this game. Playing as the villains going after your favourite heroes, seeing everything from their perspective, potentially going through some character development. If it was that, I would’ve bought it Day 1. It had such potential, but the assholes at Warner Bros wanted to make it into a cash cow.

    Such a waste…

      Yeah, the more I saw this game and the more I learned about the story as it went on, the less interested I became. That was pretty much the only thing that was still keeping me interested, but it really looks like the story also falls flat.

    I still dont believe that this game is as bad as people want to make it and I’m quiet surprised that my youtube timeline is full of spoilers for it (and I only watched Skillup’s video, so I dont know where this is coming from), as in people want to actually ruin the game for everyone. I think I will pick it up as soon as I’m done with Guild Wars 2 which, let’s be honest here, will be never…

      It sounds like a rehash of Avengers.

      Fun story but don’t expect much more out of it. Solid 7.

        Fun story but don’t expect much more out of it. Solid 7.

        I must say I had more fun with some of these 7 out of 10’s than with any Breath of the Wild, Red Dead Redemption or Elden Ring. So nothing wrong in getting a 7 out of 10.
