It may or may not be true, but if you pause the videos on the mod chip screen you can see icons that are related to various heroes and villains

Oh the IGN preview said they were in so along with that screenshot I imagined they were keeping terrible parts in.

So it's all new terrible stuff.



one of the leaks said it is 1 riddler trophy and you find him dead next to it. it could be wrong. :shrug:


Edit: I really want to know how much of the leaks are true or not at this point.

Oh, nice! I can talk about the game now.

Playing as Deadshot felt like playing a poor man's *Anthem*. All the other characters were less fun than that.

How much of the story leaks, from what you have played, is true?

I haven't kept up with the leaks and I checked out of the alpha pretty quickly, so I can't tell you too much. Here are the important story beats I remember:

*John Stewart captures the Suicide Squad and tells them to let the real heroes handle Brainiac before very swiftly getting murked.
*Batman hunts down and incapacitates the members of the Squad one by one in a section that should be cool but feels weird; you're still moving and running around like a lightweight action game character in what should be a down-to-earth setpiece. He also uses an EMP to disable everyone's mobility options, which works on King Shark even though his mobility options come from his actual superpowers. :v:
*The Suicide Squad captures Barry Allen. Captain Boomerang accidentally chops one of his fingers off, which the squad uses to get past a fingerprint scanner in the Justice League headquarters.

That seems to go against some of the leaks.

Remember when the thread was thinking Gotham Knights would suck but Suicide Squad would be great?

I think people hoped both would be good. Both are not good.

Gotham Knights has good main missions with a bunch of bullshit bolted on that makes it not good. Game shpuld have been the 4 missions, but you play each one as a separate batman character

How? Harley, uh, shoots Batman in the face and unless they had a looooooot of dialogue pre-recorded it doesn't seem like he's coming back.

So there is a story beat about how brainiac has changed the league's genetics so they regenerate or they could be clones. the game makes it ambiguous supposedly. one clue is Flash grows back his fingers.

https://www.ign.com/articles/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-review


quote:

While the comparison might seem like low-hanging fruit, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League really is of a similar construction to Marvel’s Avengers – a game I spent dozens of hours enjoying despite its glaring deficiencies. They’re both live services aiming to offer extensive postgames – of course, in Avengers’ case, that promised service was cut short when Crystal Dynamics shut down development two years after launch. For Rocksteady, another famous single-player-turned-online developer, the first step toward trying to avoid a similar fate would be to create a compelling combat system that makes me want to return to Suicide Squad week after week, which it hasn’t quite achieved at this point. The studio known for revolutionising tight melee combat with its Arkham games has instead opted to make this a third-person shooter, which is a bold choice – but one that doesn't make complete sense considering the traditional methods of violence implemented by most of Task Force X, AKA the Suicide Squad.

...

When you go to modify some life into your firearms you’re limited to fairly standard buffs like critical damage boosts or cooldown decreases, none of which really lean into capturing any of that superhero/villain magic. Instead of more damage boosts or predictable poison debuffs, I kept hoping to see something crazy – like a gun that fires exploding, chattering Joker teeth or a Clayface cannon that covers the ground and enemies in clay, immobilising them in the process. But having finished the campaign (admittedly not turned over every rock in Metropolis just yet) there's just a disappointing lack of imagination on display here, even for those rarest, top-tier options. That’s particularly a shame because I can see the bones of a truly exciting loot and combat system here –, it’s just hidden in the blandness of its solid but unspectacular gunplay and weapons.

Read the ign work in progress. As much as the reviewer wants to love the game it is clear the game is a pile of poo poo.

The game is very liberal which is a type of nazi.

Edit: the concept of the Suicide Squad in of itself is very fascistic. Forcing criminals to do a job you expect them to be killed doing or you kill them?

The program reminds me of the inmate firefighters

With SS being in the Arkhamverse, is it a genuine continuation, or is it some kind of Else Worlds/Other Dimension version of those characters, so that the characters from the original Arkham games remain untouched?

It is a continuation.
