What a fucking joke. Holy fuck, Rockstead, what the fuck happened? This will go down in history like Duke Nukem, wont it?
I can think of one thing that might be possible in 7-8 months and would pretty much guarantee some extra sales. Not everyone will like the idea, but making Harley Quinn smoking hot would sell extra copies. It would also generate the kind of controversy that sounds bad to suits, but gets raved about on the streets.Why are they assuming it will be received better later in the year?
God damnit, thats the gif I was going to post.Just throw it in the trash.
Sure, but no one has played the game yet. The game being GaaS shouldn't be an automatic dismissal. I would have preferred something more akin to the original Arkham games, but if they can deliver that in a "living" world, I am willing to give it a shot. It will be competing with Destiny for time for me but if it is good in the way they designed it, I don't need to judge it right now.The negativity surrounding this game isn't exclusive to GAF. It's everywhere. Rocksteady swung and missed hard on this one. A delay won't change that. It is what it is.
I think this game could have been pretty succesfull if released 3-4 years ago. This is a prime example of why trend chasing is very risky or even outright stupid strategy with modern enormous dev cycles.Why can't these dumb execs understand why we hate this game?
Because these corporate execs don't know what they are doing. They are the same people telling us that single player games are dead. They said that about 6-8 years ago. They are clueless.
it sounds like you enjoy gaas shit, which is fine, but it should be clear most people do not, especially in a capeshit game (where it is a really bad fit). A lot of people will dismiss this out of hand because we have been subject to gaas abominations for a long time now and based on what we saw, this is no different.Sure, but no one has played the game yet.

We don't need to play it to make a judgement call. People overwhelmingly rejected what Rocksteady showed us and that's on them. No one is obligated to shell out $70 to give it a shot.Sure, but no one has played the game yet. The game being GaaS shouldn't be an automatic dismissal.

GAAS is the biggest gaming segment.it sounds like you enjoy gaas shit, which is fine, but it should be clear most people do not, especially in a capeshit game (where it is a really bad fit).

It's not just the gaas shit though, the characters look horrible and samey, the stupid purple targets on everything, it just looks awful.
I think a delay until Fall of next year could turn the game around.
Mythbusters did it! (but it's still a turd).you can polish a turd.......
it will not.And people laughed at me for claiming Gotham Knights was going to end up being the better game.
This.It’s a dumpster fire
Release it to die and start immediately working on a Batman using lessons learned from Hogwarts
People can just see what the game for what it is. It has multiple currencies, a battle pass and store. It's a GAAS game that's designed to squeeze every penny it can from anyone who buys it. The gameplay itself looks very poor, which mainly consists of shooting generic purple looking enemies. I think everyone would be happy to be proven wrong based on Rocksteady's stellar handling of previous Batman games but unfortunately this doesn't look like it will be anything but a bomb.OK, I still say people are being quick to judge. The game isn't out yet.
We are still laughing at you because it absolutely will not be the better game.And people laughed at me for claiming Gotham Knights was going to end up being the better game.
That’s my feeling. They realize they don’t have a big game, so they might hope for better sales if there’s no competition.I'm betting they don't want to release anywhere near Zelda and FF16. That showcase completely buried this game.
We flicked the switch!There's no way Rocksteady and WB currently are NOT in complete disarray after that overwhelmingly negative reception two weeks ago.
Can't imagine it being fun over there at the moment.
Really? Out of all the other good shit that will and already has come out this year?Man this was literally the only game I actually cared about this year, just stop giving a fuck about people on the internet and release it
You're making the same mistake these fuckhead executives are. You're looking at the 3 to 5 success stories and ignoring the dozens that have collapsed. If you want a shot at being in the top 5, you have to spend a dangerous amount of time and money in development and if it's a bust, you may not just have a failed game on your hands, you might also have a bankrupt studio. The cost of video game development is getting dangerous.GAAS is the biggest gaming segment.
Not like they're gonna have time to change what people didn't like about it (which is pretty much the entire premise and core of the game) in that amount of time.
We flicked the switch!
Justice League: Kill the Suicide Squad
Play as Superman
Play as Wonder Woman
Play as Flash
Would instantly make the game more appealing.
Yep; this is what i mean when i say the business of triple a games has gone to absolute shitYou're making the same mistake these fuckhead executives are.

One of the greatest years in the history of gaming and imagine looking forward to only Suicide Squad.Man this was literally the only game I actually cared about this year, just stop giving a fuck about people on the internet and release it
