A well-balanced look at what they did right (graphics and acting), and the dumb decisions that got them at this point.

    There will always be a certain demographic of people who will buy the trash no matter what. Games have devolved into appeasing clueless mass consumers so they can make a quick buck and bounce out and on to the next “current thing” for people to latch onto and mindlessly consume.

    I really like the Suicide Squad conceptually, but their tie-in media is just not cutting it, eh? I had a bad feeling about this one as soon as they announced it would be a live-service game.

    Maybe it’s time to check out the comics, even though I’m not much of a comic reader usually. If there are good Suicide Squad stories, they must be hiding in the original media! (I did like the 2016 movie, but I got the impression that was not the most popular opinion.)

    A video I’ll have to check out later. It has however, been a game absolutely getting “Astro turfed” into social media in my experience though (as in, I get a ton of tiktoks of people saying “wow this scene was so sick!!” But it’s the same 2 scenes every time and neither of them are cool in any way) - and that’s normally a pretty bad sign.

      The game is to me like every mortal combat game. You go on YouTube and wnantch the finishers abd the easter eggs, but don’t olay that janky game.
