Review in Progress: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League | IGN

Simon writes: "My first 11 or so hours with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League have left me with wildly mixed thoughts. There are things I like, things I don’t, and worst of all, things that elicit no emotional response at all."

Christopher98d ago

If you like the more recent Suicide Squad movie, you'll probably enjoy the story/dialog in this one. If you like looter shooters aimed at wracking up high combos in very traversal-focused combat, then you might like this one.

I really really wish they had created some other IP for this gameplay. It's not 'bad' gameplay (not great either), but it just feels wrong going around shooting everything and it feels like they have to shove every DC reference in that they can.

I think the problem with this game isn't so much what it does wrong, it's what it does right that will now get ignored because people hate this game so much. It's a much cleaner Season-based game w/o FOMO, got rid of level-based loot, has great flexibility in loadout. But, it's tied to all the rest. And businesses are horrible at picking up the good out of the bad, so they'll ignore it and we will have to hope someone else will figure it out on their own.

-"If you like the more recent Suicide Squad movie, you'll probably enjoy the story/dialog in this one."

Maybe it's just from what I've seen/heard, but it seems way more insufferable than Gunn's Suicide Squad. I'm still tempted to give it a fair shot though.

(Not to elevate Gunn's The Suicide Squad either. I was warmed up to it being some zany masterwork when it really felt like an enjoyable 6/10 movie.)

Christopher97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

It's actually better IMHO, but still not good. I think the core squad is its strongest element and many of the side characters kind of drag it down since they only serve to provide side activities (Hack and Gizmo so far).

If you don't like the core squad then you really just don't like Suicide Squad IMHO. And that's a valid opinion to have.

I've already decided I will get this game...

But when that offline patch hits and the game is bargin priced

robtion97d ago

I will buy it if they turn it into an offline game with all the DLC included (no micro-transactions thanks).

The real issue with this game is that it is an online only GaaS game. It charges you full price (more than full price, it is $160 for the "Deluxe Edition" in Australia when physical copies of most games are realistically $80-$100).

After paying full price you can then look forward to a constant stream of cosmetic items (which people want) but you need to pay extra for them as though this were a free to play game like Fortnite.

It is insanity and for some reason nobody in the media seems to have the balls to point out what the actual problem is.

MetroidFREAK2196d ago

That's why I'm waiting for the offline patch to just play the story and be done with it. Also, $10 is the magic price for me

XBManiac97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

Why "Review in progress" makes me think the worst?

Even with the title, I didn’t expect so many characters to bite the dust. Did not expect the multiverse either.

Not really a fan of the timer for Incursions. Or having to earn currency to access endgame missions.

Always nice to get a pulse check from a developer you know it's day's are numbered.

Toecutter003d ago

One word on when they plan to fix the game on consoles.

Psychonaut853d ago

Bro there’s like 130 people playing your game, just Avengers it already.

BlackOni3d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if there were more people playing Avengers before they pulled the plug.

I don't know a single person playing this.

P_Bomb9d ago

Apparently you even have to grind to get the Joker. Lotsa questionable decisions in this one.

ChasterMies9d ago

Meaningless stat unless you tell us how many people you know.

Ninver8d ago

More than 50 on friends list. About 12 in person. Not a single one of them is playing this.

Days Gone? I love Days Gone.

solideagle19d ago

I think I platinumed it, It was awesome especially the first time you come across the horde

peppeaccardo19d ago

One of the best open world zombie game ever. Very engaging great story graphics and all.
These mofo should go back playing starfield and change phil's diaper.
GFYS!!

thorstein20d ago

The Order 1886 wasn't disappointing.

It was great.

Maybe do an article about Games Journalists Lied About. That would be a good read.

FPSRUSSIA20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I Agree The order 1886 is Great but Short to bad there wont be a Sequel since the Developers Moved on to other Platforms.

DustMan19d ago

I thought it was great while it lasted. As soon as things got interesting and the action picked up the game ended. When it was over I legit was like "that's all of it?"

jimb0j0nes20d ago

Sure, the campaign was terrible, but MW3 isn't even the top three most disappointing COD games...

anast19d ago

That's a lot of Bethesda games on that list. Where's Starfield?

TwoPicklesGood19d ago

Whole lot of Sony games with Forsaken, Days Gone, Risen of the Ronin, and The Order 1886.

anast19d ago

In reality only one of those Sony games is actually just okay, and the others are good to solid. Whereas the Bethesda ones are objectively bad.

Tacoboto19d ago

Two of those Sony games aren't Sony games and the two that actually are, Sony clearly agreed based on their cutting ties with longtime partner Ready at Dawn and their well-reported rejection of DG2.

I'd like to check out The Order someday soon and see how it holds up since that style of shorter game fits my mood lately, but Forspoken was uniformly panned and RotR is a sign that Team Ninja needs to ease off the gas a bit to focus on quality over quantity.

Tacoboto19d ago

Suicide Squad being at number 2 or even in this list seems like a freebie - its existence alone was disappointing, I don't think many people actually had positive expectations for it near release.

Not having Starfield at all feels like they're ignoring a huge conversation of last year. Even as someone that likes the game, ignoring its reception is head-in-the-sand at best and its restrictions were magnified by its release alongside Baldur's Gate 3. The disappointment many feel about it FARRRRR exceeds any disappointment people have for random third party titles like... Biomutant, and Exoprimal... Same could be said for reception around Forza Motorsport.
