Just learned that the final battle you don't even fight Brainiac properly, he just turns into Flash and fights you with all of Flashes moves with extra hazards from the stage.

There is a Suicide Squad prequel comic call Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum. The story is about the 4 characters killing everyone in arkham.

its like they were suppose to have him copy all justice league members you killed moveset, even though that's boring too, but they just gave up and didn't bother finishing it.

Keeping up on how Suicide Squad is performing, it currently has about 2400 people playing it on Steam.

Arkham Knight has about 4500 people playing it now.

Skyrim has so many mods at this point I'm sure there's one that turns you into a Suicide Squad member and lets you kill giant Supermen.

Maybe everyone’s playing Arkham Knight because they heard suicide squad is worse than it

Arkham Knight is my favorite Batman game. Including the Batmobile. I’d love another game like that instead of SS.

I’d even be happy with a ray-traced remaster.

Dipping under 1k now. Always been genuinely mystified by this game.

Like, you have this game with a story nobody wanted, in a genre people were sick of, from a studio who don't specialize in this style of game.

And that game was called Anthem. It came out over five years ago. Did Rocksteady just never hear about it?

It's the Arrested Development meme right? Everyone thinks it's going to work out for them, if it does, you get a game that makes you (you being the publisher in this case) a lot of money over a few years.

The problem is that AAA games take so long to make any more that they end up chasing trends that are dead and buried by the time they actually get released.

How is this supposed to have a year of support when after a month the player base is probably gonna be like 500 people?

That's probably what Rocksteady were asking their publisher while they were making it.

It's going to be very hard to justify it! Internally the plan might have been "while we're in pre-pro for the next game and trying to figure out what that looks like, artists can be kept busy by churning out content for SS", a way to make sure their staff that would be involved in the later stages of the dev process won't be kept idle, but if the Joker stuff ends up being played by <100k people...

They probably have the advertised seasons in the can already and are ready to fire most of the staff during the last season and keep enough folk to push the last updates on their way out

Thinkin' I'm some scrub that thinks Injustice is Arkhamverse. Please. :colbert:

(If we want to count the mobile titles there's nine Arkham games in total before Kill the Justice League!)

Even Avengers performed better than this though, and had support for a couple of years. This game is gonna be lucky to last like three months, let alone a year.

I assume there are enough contracts in place that closing it too early would cost more than just letting it run for a year.

So a trailer for the canceled Spider-Man multiplayer leaked.

Looks like it would've been pretty fun. More of the same gameplay, and characters like Gwen, Silk, Miguel and more. Or maybe just skins, but we'll never know.

I don't really mean this as a burn or anything but it very literally just looks like Spider-Man 2 with multiplayer

Which may have been the point, in terms of being a teaser, but doesn't strike me as particularly exciting. Insomniac's Spider-Man games are highly enjoyable but hey don't quite have enough meat on their bones from a gameplay angle to support that kind of thing, by my reckoning

Counterpoint, the combat can be so fun that who cares about story in a multiplayer heh.
