This will be 2024's Babylon’s Fall that team was yelling more content soon even as the power cord was being pulled. It crazy how square sold dlc but it was never tossed out 0 issues there.

ZeekQuattro30d ago

It still boggles my mind that so many studios are insistent on these live service games but struggle to support them for more than a few months.

-Foxtrot29d ago

People see these titans fall, especially Rocksteady with a great track record with the iconic Arkham Batman games and STILL go

“Yeah. Let’s go Live Service, we won’t end up like them”

CobraKai28d ago

I honestly feel WBs new trajectory for their gaming division Is a huge reason why Rocksteady made this failure.

blackblades29d ago

Right, Helldiver 2 been getting content left and right. These studios need a wake up call. I blame WB i bet they had something to do with it.

just_looken28d ago

They did rocksteady had plans for a batman beyond game superman game even wanted to to there own justice league.

Back in 2008 when the arkham verse began they had the talent behind the 90's/early 2k animated shows over time wb fired that team today very very few remain. That is why kevin/mark lent there voices because it was a relationship with rocksteady kind of a btas 2.0 revision deal

All the ideas were scrapped with hints of a unannounced big project then of course 2-3 years ago we got that trailer at e3.

DarXyde28d ago

I mean I get why the idea is appealing: You build a game universe and your responsibility from here is not to keep making new games, but to produce new content for a game you've already made. Far less demanding and is much better for cost efficiency.

You are right to say that they struggle to support them for more than a few months, but I think this game and those like it getting (rightfully) panned out of the gate is also affecting even the developers' interest (or perhaps budget) to make more content for it.The fact that they're pulling out Joker for Season 1 is not a good sign at all. Adding him with little other content really seems like a Hail Mary. It would be like if Smash Ultimate was doing poorly and the first new guest character was Sephiroth.

The other challenge of these types of games is timely season releases. If you want to keep people's attention, new compelling content needs to be on time. That's likely to result in crunch and misery (and ultimately a worse product).

The best chance a Live Service game has, in my opinion, is easing up on the budget and team size (AA, at most) and making a great gameplay loop on day 1. Helldivers II did exactly that and the game was the breakout hit of February. Don't break the bank, test the waters, and if you've got a great product, keep supporting it. As long as you reel in the budget, there is far less need for aggressive monetization throughout the life of the product, too.

The worst looking joker i have ever seen

Dandalandan11729d ago

I didn't think I would see a worst looking joker than Jared Leto's

Knightofelemia29d ago

Honestly the Joker looks like something out of Fortnite and also looks like he pitches left field.

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

peppeaccardo8d 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!!

thorstein9d 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.

FPSRUSSIA9d ago (Edited 9d 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.

DustMan9d 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?"

jimb0j0nes9d ago

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

anast9d ago

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

TwoPicklesGood9d ago

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

anast9d 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.

Tacoboto9d 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.

Tacoboto9d 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.

Report: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Future Seasons to Feature Batman and More

According to leaks, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's future seasons will see the return of Batman as well as Arkham's Deathstroke.

-Foxtrot21d ago

So our Batman is actually dead then and died in such an awful way after everything he went through.

Meanwhile their big plan is to revive a version of him from a Medieval Elseworld

Wow. They really ruined the Arkhamverse in a single game.

TheKingKratos21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

It's not canon to me

Also it's so stupid to go with Brainiac instead of Darkseid for this elseworld story

DrDoomer21d ago

They must have brought in Neil Cuckmann to write and direct that scene.

0hMyGandhi21d ago

I can honestly imagine you hammering away that last "n" of his name on your keyboard and laughing hysterically to yourself.
Grow up.

Leeroyw21d ago

Gives sweet baby Inc a chance to make the next Batman diverse.

Knightofelemia21d ago

Medieval Elseworld really that sounds like a bigger mess then what the game is. Kudos I have respect that Conroy made some last voice recordings as Batman. But I am still not touching this game I myself I don't do loot and shoot and live service games.

Demetrius21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Lmao must have been some jealousy management had towards the OG rocksteady guys, forcing them to make thus trash and ruin the arkham verse smh now I know we will never get another legit batman title cause the bozos ruined it smh

Hofstaderman21d ago

Wow WB is really committed to this train wreck....

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s First Season is Already Dead on Arrival

Season of the Joker offers little new story content, a recycled boss fight, and a repetitive grind to unlock its new playable character.

Having to do 1520 missions to finish the battle pass is perhaps the worst battle pass given by any Triple AAA company so far o_O

Repulsive last-ditch effort to get some cash, you've got some funky illegal shit dropping in the storefront though, launching discounted emotes from 1,700 ($17) to 850 ($8.50)

8 Yrs for this shitshow.

just_looken27d ago

If you head 2 the games reddit there are still defenders sadly

Lexreborn226d ago

If there are people who like the game they like the game. That’s not a defense if it’s their reality.

Knightofelemia26d ago

Sill one ugly looking Joker right up there with the Leto Joker. And this Joker still looks like he pitches left field.

anast26d ago

I need to figure out how all these people find money to fail.

RiseNShine26d ago

Possibly the ugliest joker of all time, at least that's something this game will be remembered for.
