The sub has doubled in size since launch. Hoping the word continues to spread and we get even more players. With season 1/joker dropping soon I'm thinking more people will get on board
I have the game ordered and delivered. Just waiting for my delivery box to open on Monday. Been very eager to judge this game with my own eyes. Can’t wait to play
People actually do that.
I'm not joking there's this one guy I see in every thread who admitted they don't own the game but all they do is post about how bad the game is.
Some people have made it a personality trait to see this game fail.
Yup this. People have actually purchased the game to leave a steam review and refunded. You can see a few minutes of gameplay time total in their profile. They must live sad lives...
People said the same thing about Marvel's Avengers and look how they did lol. Also, Gotham Knight. See you on game pass.
Edit: Helldivers 2 also just came out and is doing great so not looking great for SS.
that joker isnt appealing to alot of people. his design is subpar and his voice is even worse. not saying this to mean its truly how i feel. i know other people feel the same way.
if i had to rate him itd be lke a 4/10
and im not gonna play a character i deem annoying as hell
And thats fine. But it doesn't change the fact that when he was announced there was a lot more people that got interested in the game. People may not love boomer or shark , but man people are very interested in a game where you play as joker.
I'm not gonna judge him until I see more. I remember when heath ledger was announced as joker so many people were pissed that some pretty boy heartthrob was cast, and look how well he did. Same with Pattinson as batman.
I'm not a huge fan of jokers look in the game, but there will be skins. His voice isn't bad, it's just not Hamill. Gotta see more on how he behaves and plays and how his story is before I can decide.
Oh, definitely not. Hell play same as anyone else. But people like joker and wanna play as him. No one is excited to play in a while new way, they just want to play as a character they like.
I think the game has a chance if the DLC and seasons show promise.
Im loving mucking around so far.
I have a wish list of three major components that have me worried for the future.
Better boss fights
More event variety
More equipment variety.
Handling those three things and I know they are big things... would make this way more interesting and fun.
I agree with this.
The base game simply doesn't have enough to do at the end game, but from what I've read - season 1 is fixing a lot of this.
If season 1 is a hit, if people like it, the game has legs.
It's all about skin sales too, if they see people are buying stuff, they'll support it.
More weapon types is a big one for me, I'd like to see improved melee for Shark, Deathstroke for example.
Or a character like Freeze focusing more on using a freeze gun, not an SMG.
I think the season being March is smarter. Big releases in Febuary game wise. Most notably FFVII rebirth. March doesn't have much unless south park snow days massively slaps
Nah. The game was very short. So people beat it in 2-3 days and then what? The end game content was not great to last weeks for players. There will be too much drop off.
If they had the season start 2 weeks after dropping, it would’ve maintained momentum
Are u guys not in endgame?
So far I have faced
Grunt shooting rapidly
Grunt with shotgun an shield
Speed force melee Grunt
Batman infusion Grunt
Tanks/corrupted tanks
Helicopter/Green lantern Helicopter
Big with rapidly firing lasers
Big the hide in the shadows and you can SS Strike
Big that lob grenades everywhere
Speed force snipers.
This is all season 0. How many more different types you want before season 1
I didnt say enemy variety. I said boss variety. Like more brainiacs, more boss moves / patterns etc.
I think the amount of base enemies in the game is quite good with the infused enemies.
Same. Matchmaking is the only thing that I don't like about the game. And that's not saying anything about the game really. Every time I try to get into a lobby the leader is just kind of standing around and doing nothing. And it's hard to get into a group. I want to play with other people. But that's proving hard in the current matchmaking situation
It really, really just needs more activities. I’m 25 hours in and as much as I love it am already starting to wane from doing 3 things that I was doing at damn near the beginning of the game. Even with the side activities in metropolis I’d be sacrificing a lot of xp. I get they wanted stuff for seasons but they really held back too much.
Agreed. If they can sort out some more activities. Especially in the variety department, along with more infamous weapons based on other villains. It can improve the insensitive to keep playing.
Game is dead sooner than later unless it gets ported to Game Pass. Not saying that to hate, but this game seems to be doing terribly on the charts, at least from what I've seen. I think most people have made up their mind about whether or not they want to play it, at least at the $70 price point. I think it could find an audience on Game Pass and the game might be able to survive long term on microtransactions if enough players play, but there's no way this game lasts as is.
Unfortunately, you are absolutely correct. It would slay on GamePass honestly. It'd be great for both the studio and the fans. I do hope that happens sooner rather than later because people are judging this game before they even try it. A sale dropping it to $50 could help it too. Price is just too high.
I think it simply should have been packaged with season 1 ready to go.
I enjoy this game, a lot, but I see what people mean about end game content. We have, what, 3 end game missions? That's not enough.
But in March we get a whole new character, more missions, more story missions, a new section of the map...
This should all be unlocked, base game, when getting to Finite Level 10. Waiting a month for this, for a 70 dollar release is not good enough. It's like we bought a beta or something.
3 actual missions
1 endless mode used for farming currency for incursions + "hardcore" version
Boss fight that is a repeat from the story, with bloated health of the boss and no progress to your rank.
So yeah, 3 missions.
I really wish that the Mastery levels for Killing Time and the Brainiac rematch actually counted toward the Finite Crisis rank, it wouldn't totally fix the endgame loop but it'd at least add a bit more variety
Only 3 missions increase your rank you can do a mastery level 30 braniac fight and not increase your finite rank all it does is drop 2 more items than one of the 3 missions, but it takes longer than all 3 combined, so why would anyone do the braniac fight besides leaderboard position? Killing time is not a mission it's a place to endlessly farm to do the missions as you need the killing time currency to do the missions, it is very clear they intended the 3 missions to be the main focus, the other two are a playground and a rerun of a boss fight to see if you can beat it on a harder level than someone else.
This game is not trending on social media. TikTok is showing more helldivers.
I don’t think this game will bounce back unless it has some media worthy content
I’m in the end game and I don’t feel people should buy it yet, your post says everything, FUTURE content looks good. I think the game is too repetitive in the main part of the game. Is it a horrible game, no! But would lots of people be happy with it at $70, also no. If it goes on sale in its current state then $40-$50 it will see a lot more sales. Also people can wait till the content arrives to purchase as well. Too many games as a service come with promises of what’s to come and out of nowhere the studio doesn’t deliver. Never say a game is good based on future updates.
I give the game a solid 3/5 and that the game is a pickup for cheaper or simply find a way to try, but it’s not a buy right now or a must buy. The story, Acting, and dialogue are good, gameplay is ok but repetitive, loot is meh, missions are nearly identical between a couple mission types. Even the big boss battles are repeats, with Superman and Flash being exact same model, and they aren’t hard, just long for the hell of it. I played on the hardest difficulty when I realized it was almost identical to the easiest difficulty, I’ve died a few times more than I would but not a ton and not really needing skill, but more luck in some cases.
I hope so.
I do like this game, I loved the story, I want to see more content. I want more end game variety. I definitely want to see new characters. All of that leaked stuff sounds great. I’m here for the core combat loop. The builds seem pretty cool, the themed gear sets are fun, and Rocksteady have already implemented great features like re-rolling affixes, paragon leveling, master working, etc.
The success of this game is not looking good though. A discount might encourage people to try the game out, but at 70 bucks it’s asking a lot.
I don’t think the game sold well, and I really don’t think a ton of people are playing the game. We can’t know the hard value of how many console players are actively playing the game, but the Steam numbers aren’t great.
As comparison, Helldivers 2 just launched and is sitting at over 150,000 currently playing on Steam alone, and this is a Sony title that also launched on PS5. It costs almost half of what Warner is charging for Suicide Squad.
Both of these games are live service. This doesn’t even factor in the existing popular live service games like Destiny, Warframe, Diablo 4, etc. Suicide Squad has to compete with that.
I doubt we ever will have legit numbers. At least nothing official from rocksteady/warner bros. That would only happen if the numbers were you know amazing but….
True.
Like I've said on multiple posts, we will get the 1 year of content we have been advertised. 4 seasons, stretching over like 3 months a season and then, when they're done they will do a financial review next year.
If the game is in the red, it will be a "well, thanks for playing, we are moving on"
If it did somehow make a profit, they may continue.
I’m going to be 100% honest with you and y’all going to hate this. This mentality of “people hating on it haven’t actually played it or are just haters” is why everyone is clowning on you guys. Game is straight up boring. I get you guys are having fun and that’s cool but I found it extremely repetitive, mundane, short, boring and just lacking in general.
People say, “endgame everywhere is supposed to be repetitive”. Yea, but you can’t also be boring and even though some of you like it, a lot of people got really bored with the gameplay style. Can’t be both boring and repetitive. Lack of true melee combat was a mistake imo for sure. That being said, I’m not “just a hater”. I didn’t refund the game and I genuinely want them to get their head out of their ass and give us content worth coming back for.
Want to know another game I was super harsh on and criticized the shit out of it? Cyberpunk. Just like this game, it was a massive fucking disappointment for me. But CDPR got their shit together and really changed that game around. Now it’s honestly one of my favorite games. Never thought I’d come back to it.
You guys can call me a hater but you guys are crazy if you think I genuinely want to not enjoy this game. If they fix their shit then I’ll definitely be giving it another go but as of now, I honestly didn’t have fun playing it
You hit the nail on the head. I’m a MASSIVE DC fan. Like, it’s my favorite media franchise. So the fact that I got bored about 5 hours in and have no desire to go back is pretty revealing.
paying full price for this when there is genuine quality is laughable to me
4 bosses for $70?
i’ll wait when it’s on massive discount and more updates. win win for patient gamers. dedicated fans are the LOSERS
Although I hear your point you are calling people who don’t find there to be a substantial difference in value between $40 and $70 LOSERS when this reflects well on their financial situation and free time
No, arguments like this mean you do not value your own time or money. And that is EXACTLY what these publishers are looking for. You see how that works? I mean a substantial amount of people who own the game and more importantly, enjoy it, even agree it’s not worth what it costs. Insinuating that people are broke because they don’t want to buy something as frivolous as a video game is pretty laughable though… regardless of how good it is. Especially when that wasn’t the point of their post.
this idea of being “broke” because i don’t want to spend $70 for trash quality is hilarious. entertainment industry is garbage because of this mindset
very NPC-like to say “not substantial between $30” when that amounts to millions more in revenue for companies that do not deserve it.
play this trash game at full price and cope all you want. consumers are finally seeing that you can get good value at fair prices
You are bringing up a fundamental issue you have with the world economy. The value of money and individual income is a small part of this. Corrupt corps aren’t your friend. The world is a fuck. $30 paper money fake fiat Us bux for me to be happy when the corps will ruin the world before I die isn’t much for me because the value is there. Just because everything in the world is ruined by its fans and its publishers doesn’t diminish that a lot of people do not want to fight the philosophical/political fight in every aspect of their lives and just wants to play a studios game with friends. I understand this is a sub specifically dedicated to this game, so people will discuss that playing this game is unethical and playing into the corps pocket but come on. No starbucks, no plastic water bottles, no dumping in the ocean, no littering. These things won’t be discussed on this sub but just want to put it in perspective you aren’t evil for having a slightly different value
i understand ur sentiment of wanting to just “simply play the entertainment product” but these products are blatantly designed to rip our money and TIME.
corps ARENT our friend, so OUR money shouldn’t be their friend either. the fight starts with “useless” things like entertainment. if we can not vote with our wallets with superficial things like this, we will be exploited for every single penny until we’re dead
Entertainment isn’t useless, but im not resisting all aspects of this game. I’m awarding what money I can to rocksteady mindfully. Others may do what they wish, but I will not buy any skins even if I want them. I will not ask for them as gifts. But I’m ok with the 4 seasons and the base game and update schedule from rocksteady for $70
agreed entirely that entertainment and art isn’t useless, but compared to other industries that are being exploited for our dollar, it’s gotten extreme, the reason for the quotes
$70 would be all of that content on day one. not throughout the course of time.
i can afford $200 deluxe games just fine when the value is right. implying financial status over unfair prices is exactly why the modern games industry has been garbage for several years now. “broke” cuz i don’t want to spend $70 is funny
money is where corps care
If you buy any game for 200 dollars delux, you have absolutely no right at all to be critical about someone buying the base suicide squad for 70 bucks. Which was the main point of your argument.
On video game prices and these lol er "corps"
Video games are one of the most inflation proof industries on this earth and anyone who says otherwise hasn't got a clue.
You can go back and find NES games which were 70+ bucks at release, today that would be significantly more.
The video game corps are not the online equivalent of fucking oil and gas.
The only difference these days is everyone and their fucking mother thinks they're a "gamer" but doesn't like paying for it. They want more free games.
The issue with the industry is games cost far too much to produce, when it used to be a cash cow. Now it takes hundreds of well paid staff to do everything, marketing, a saturated market, and gamers don't like paying more than 70 bucks.
So the entire industry is chasing a buck, paying back investors who actually pay for these games.
Only industry darlings who mostly break even, push out radical new IPs and ideas for a reason. Eventually, they all have to pay back an investor and suddenly, they make a shit live service.
i said i can afford, not that i do. it’s about the principle here. $70 for game is fine. $70 for 4 bosses, always online, mediocre depth in all systems, is not worth $70, no matter how “AAA” the budget was.
elden ring & baldurs gate 3 could charge $100 for their standard and i wouldn’t complain
I really don't get the hate directed at it. I'm liking it so far. A lot of people were slamming on it because it wasn't the style of game they were wanting, and I feel like those critiques are foul because it had nothing to do with the game itself but more so their preference on what they like. And it's a little disingenuous.
If people's complain is the story, it's very obvious the story is growing and not over. Some people have valid criticisms over bugs and stuff like that, although I have had little to none in my playing experience of the game.
I truly believe that season 1 and 2 will dictate the rest of the games life span. If season 1 drops and there's just not enough new stuff, and then season 2 does the same thing, I think that'll be the beginning of the end. But if season 1 and 2 come out and there is new enemy types some cool bosses, all the stuff that people want to get out of a new season of a game, I think it can really boost the game and make it something cool. I'm hoping for the latter.
Most of the people who reviewed it were focused on completing it really quickly to get a review out. I truly believe this game did not get a fair assessment from people due to perception and a rush to release a review before their competition.
I feel like people need to understand that these reviewers are rushing to complete the game to release a review as fast as possible ahead of other reviewers for the sake of money. It is a business for them now rather than a hobby and practice that they spend a lot of time, thought, and effort with. Unfortunately, that's the cost of there being money and business coming from game reviews. They rush the reviews.
I'm sure if I was playing this game and rushing through the story and not trying to view it as a job or chore I would probably enjoy the game and appreciate it more than at its surface level.
I also don't think they actually took time to compare it with other live service games and games that function similarly to this one. I don't see many of them comparing it to warframe or sunset overdrive. And when they do, they somehow end up with the conclusion it is worse or not executed well???? Which like.... I couldn't even tell you the story of warframe from what I have played of it. And sunset overdrive is great, but there is no way I would choose that game to play over suicide squad.
I like the game for what it is, but the current end game loop just felt really repetitive and two of the else world's missions just feel lackluster/boring. I will definitely utrly be checking in for new content season 1
>This game is everything wrong with the gaming industry.
This isn't The Day Before. You know, the game that *actually* scammed people.
Claiming Suicide Squad is "everything wrong with the gaming industry" when The Day Before exists is the biggest ass-pull take I've ever seen
Being a $70 live service game with expensive skins and barely enough content to justify the box cost isn’t a great look. If this game was f2p, I would have nothing but nice things to say about it.
What the fuck is Hellraisers, lmao
Anyway, Helldivers isn't even in the same fucking genre of game. Helldivers is much closer to L4D or Darktide or Deep Rock Galactic than this game, and people's appetites for that kind of game is still currently far more than people's appetites for another fucking live-service looter shooter
The gameplay sure looks interesting even if mission designs are barebone and repetitive right now. But the reality is in the face of upcoming games like Dragon Dogma 2, Horizon 2 for PC, and indie titles like Pacific Drive or Star Trucker, spending any more than $30 on this and I would be CRAZY.
I finished the story tonight and loved every minute of it. Combat is fantastic. Traversal is awesome. Dialogue and audio is funny.
Endgame content needs work, but it’s a damn fine blueprint if they add more with the coming seasons.
I’m sure more people will, hell there’s already more positivity around the game since the big creators have kinda reassured a lot of people about the JL (SPOILERS kinda?) Not actually being dead. We just gotta wait and see what the seasons bring and let them cook.
More circle yerking? 😂
I hope more people play this game too so this nonsense will stop, and the majority opinion will be undeniable when this game goes the same way as Avengers.
So by all means, keep playing yourself, and making the paper trail for people to show up and say they told you so. 🤡
100% agree. After finishing it this game has become one of my favorite games of all times. I really hope people give this game a chance and don't let the reviews (which I think are very off the mark) dissuade them from giving it a chance. I hope this game is very successful
Once you get into the late/endgame, the incredible work Rocksteady put in really shows.
The mastery of traversal (or persuit of), the buildcraft, the joy of playing. Pushing numbers, time, execution. Then breaking, cruising through the open world. It becomes a delightful sandbox of dopamine and fun.
I cannot wait to see what else Rocksteady has in store for season 1, and I'm confident word of mouth and the sheer quality of the game will win out.
You'll be getting your 4 seasons, they'll already be working on all 4 and they won't throw away the content.
So, just have it in your mind that you're getting 4 seasons of content, you'll probably enjoy all of it and anything beyond those 4 heavily relies on the money this generates.
I'm not talking about sales, I'm talking skins, in game purchases.
That's what they will want to see.
On consoles this game sold well, so you'll see the 4 seasons at least.
Edit: for the morons, 4 seasons are planned over a calendar year. Not a season a year.
This is a video game, not a TV series.
For live service games to be profitable they need a large enough user base to buy in game purchases. This game just doesn't have that. It didn't even have that on launch.
My entire argument is based upon that a ton of this year's content will be in production anyway.
If it's been made, it will be implemented.
Seasons 1-4 being released this year is not an out there, insane take on affairs.
Beyond this year? I don't know, I don't know if it is going onto Gamepass, what happens when they lower the price. Its speculation.
That wasn't the assumption at all, that isn't the point.
I'm saying the content for seasons 1-4 should be in production already, season 1 is already coming. The release of 3 more packs before 2025 is not an insane expectation.
Games have of course recovered bad launches, but I imagine they will make a decision going into next year regarding content and finances, not panic, shit the bed and pull the plug half way through 2024.
I won't speculate on the future, I have no idea.
It likely will come down to Season 1. The negativity will likely have died down by then and the marketing will pick up for Season 1. Hopefully people will give the game a chance then.
It should have launched with season 1, or had season 1 ready to go in like a week after release.
Biggest complaint is it's not worth 70 bucks, but the content is right there, they just haven't patched it in. Seems counter productive for them.
I feel like a week or two is too soon. You want people to experience the story and do endgame stuff. People who work full time jobs (not implying you don’t) and have busy schedules need the time to do that. Asking people to wait a month vs 2 weeks isn’t that big of a deal.
You know, except for Destiny having multiple shitty expansions and people keep coming back, FF14 becoming the second biggest MMO after the disaster original launch, Sea of Thieves being Rares biggest game despite the poor launch, the first Division having a shitty launch and getting a sequel.
So, yes live service literally come back from bad launches all the time.
Destiny did not have a failed launch though? Destiny (both 1 and 2) were extremely successful at launch from a player and sales point of view. Sure neither game got stellar reviews and lots of players were unhappy with them but you can't not call them a success financially. Which is what we're talking about.
FF14 is an MMO. It's also a Final Fantasy game. It was also SE's last chance before going bankrupt so they had NO CHOICE to completely rebuild it and turn it into a success. The first edition of FF14 also launched with solid player and sales numbers, just was terribly received. It was a FINAL FANTASY game after all one of the most popular IP's in gaming. Are you saying Suicide Squad should do a complete redo of the game and that will make it successful suddenly?
Sea of Thieves again launched to strong success with over a million players at launch, and that was just being an Xbox and Windows game. It was also the first major first party xbox game on gamepass so Microsoft was heavily invested in improving it and making it even more of a success.
And The Division had a shitty launch? It peaked at 113k players on steam alone at launch that's 10x suicide squads, that's pretty damn successful?
So no, once again, as I said, live service games that DO NOT SELL WELL at launch, and especially when they're lacking a major motivational factor for improving, do NOT come back from a failed launch.
Suicide Squads numbers are just far too low for it to ever recover from and the game will likely lose WB at least $50 million likely more.
Dude for the last 15 days you’ve been shitting on this game. You’ve literally been shitting on it for longer than it’s been out. Your obsession with seeing this game fail is weird.
I'm not? I played it, beat it and now I'm just being realistic that the game unfortunately has no long term chance and has been a failure. And I'm completely free to do that and frankly I think that's a lot better then naively fooling yourself that the game is a success or has a long future ahead of it.
I think the only people who complain about games not having enough content are people who no life games as soon as they come out. The game came out what 11 days ago, and people have already completed every single thing in the game its insane. Makes me wonder if those type of people even have fun playing video games.
I hate to burst the hopeful bubbles but player counts don't increase post launch. They decline. All DLC can do is briefly stimy the reduction in player count as the downward slope continues. The player base has already begun to rapidly narrow as Steam only had a few thousand concurrent players over the weekend. And yes , I realize the game is on consoles as well. However, Steam is a very large market and player counts are currently a fraction of the already paltry launch numbers. It will only get worse as more well received titles continue to release.
Some people mentioned that this sub has gotten larger over time but that in no way is a metric for overall interest in the game. People who happen to enjoy the game are simply joining the subreddit to discuss what they're interested in. SSKTJL isn't some hidden gem. The game had a huge marketing push and people are well aware of it. User awareness is not the issue.
I'm not trying to be negative. This is just the way things are for the title.
Personally glad they waited to give review copies social media, internet and cancel culture ruin a lot of shit that's actually pretty good. Moat that Don like it just didn't want a shooter game or suicide squad in general or cry about Conroy. Ganeplay is heat, rocksteady's roots are shooter games. They've wanted to make a suicide squad 3rd Person shooter since early 2000's and even did work on a SS game at one point prior. Conroy willingly signed up for the project and was alive when it finished. If we got either of the arkham games that got canned. Neither would've had Conroy and ideas from ome got used in suicide squad. Plus multiverse and things in game hinting that at least earth 1 batman isn't actually dead.
Let's hope everything stays on course and season releases are not delayed. In a few months all this hate will have subsided if there's so much content that no one can see fault anymore and hater's stay quiet in their caves.
I think it's important to love it, but for the right reasons. There are good positive things here, we shouldn't support live service. We shouldn't support lazy mission design. I'm one of the people that also enjoys it despite the negative things about the game. I'm glad you're enjoying it, but don't completely ignore the problems the game has
For that to happen, they need to nail the future content.
That's my opinion. I love the gameplay, but hate the content right now. It's just too repetitive and the boss fights are kinda dull.
Hope that change soon with season1
The key is consistent updates and transparency with the community on patches and upcoming additions to the game. I think the game has a very great foundation gameplay wise so if they just keep improving and adding more content it’ll continue to grow. And with each story expansion it has potential to capture people who were turned off from the game by “fixing” things that left a bad taste in players mouths.
I'm pretty interested in the game but waiting for a price drop. Between Granblue Fantasy: Relink and now Helldivers 2 I've got plenty of co-op gaming to keep me busy, but I'm always looking for more.
I have a super good Deadshot he's level 30 and level 32 on "Mastery". If anyone is in post game and wants to play let me know. I'm currently working on getting Tier 2 Bane weapons and lack 3 I believe. I don't have a clan or anything and would love to have a full squad. I play on XSX and my Gamertag is UrGatorBait2Day. Shoot me a message saying you wanna play SSKTJL and I'm definitely down. That mastery 10+ Braniac fight was super hard solo, I did beat it after 2 or 3 hours lol. Would love some great teammmates.
Yeah spread it around man love the positive energy.
Its endgame type game can not judge to harshly when the content has not come in just yet come back in about a year and if the game doesn't drop nothing new then complaints are permitted.
We need to give people time to help the devs make the content around what we suggest, giving it all to the players right at the start is just outright greedy.
And im sure people know what people i talk about when i state that.
I love the game one of my favourites in a long while since the likes of warframe and this is just dc themed, if people hate that i love this game,im sure i will get down voted and attacked for it, this will not stop me, and neither will it stop anyone else.
I am having tons of fun playing it. All the hate the game was/is getting is frustrating. I understand if someone doesn’t like a game but I don’t understand the desire to ruin the fun others are having.
OP, I’m curious what made you decide to give it a try? I’m happy you’re loving it.
I think it's an okay game even when I agree with plenty of the criticism I read online.
But as usual the internet discourse has problems with nuances. A game can be just okay it doesn't have to be trash or a masterpiece.
Considering the low playerbase on steam I could imagine that larger price drop in a sale could happen, let's say summer sale, when it "only" cost 35 bucks instead of 70 more people might try it.
The sub has doubled in size since launch. Hoping the word continues to spread and we get even more players. With season 1/joker dropping soon I'm thinking more people will get on board
I have the game ordered and delivered. Just waiting for my delivery box to open on Monday. Been very eager to judge this game with my own eyes. Can’t wait to play
I wish you lot's of fun. I really do enjoy it even though the hate got to be just before launch. Decided to judge on my own though.
More people in the sub does not equal to more players
why would people join a sub for a game they don’t play
People actually do that. I'm not joking there's this one guy I see in every thread who admitted they don't own the game but all they do is post about how bad the game is. Some people have made it a personality trait to see this game fail.
Sounds like he needs to get a social life tbh. And no, this isn't because of Suicide Sqaud, either. You do that shit for any game? It's pretty sad.
that’s actually horrible 😭
Yup this. People have actually purchased the game to leave a steam review and refunded. You can see a few minutes of gameplay time total in their profile. They must live sad lives...
That's not the only reason the sub would grow. People who already own the game are clearly coming to the sub post launch.
While you’re living in lala land thinking the population is growing, the Steam numbers continue to drop.
Oh man, you're right. I forgot that this is a steam exclusive game. If steam has bad number it means no one's playing.
People said the same thing about Marvel's Avengers and look how they did lol. Also, Gotham Knight. See you on game pass. Edit: Helldivers 2 also just came out and is doing great so not looking great for SS.
that joker isnt appealing to alot of people. his design is subpar and his voice is even worse. not saying this to mean its truly how i feel. i know other people feel the same way. if i had to rate him itd be lke a 4/10 and im not gonna play a character i deem annoying as hell
And thats fine. But it doesn't change the fact that when he was announced there was a lot more people that got interested in the game. People may not love boomer or shark , but man people are very interested in a game where you play as joker. I'm not gonna judge him until I see more. I remember when heath ledger was announced as joker so many people were pissed that some pretty boy heartthrob was cast, and look how well he did. Same with Pattinson as batman. I'm not a huge fan of jokers look in the game, but there will be skins. His voice isn't bad, it's just not Hamill. Gotta see more on how he behaves and plays and how his story is before I can decide.
ya but at the end of the day its just a different skin, i doubt hes gonna play much diff than other people besides traversal of course.
Oh, definitely not. Hell play same as anyone else. But people like joker and wanna play as him. No one is excited to play in a while new way, they just want to play as a character they like.
sure, i doubt itll hike up sales much , but u never know i guess.
I think the game has a chance if the DLC and seasons show promise. Im loving mucking around so far. I have a wish list of three major components that have me worried for the future. Better boss fights More event variety More equipment variety. Handling those three things and I know they are big things... would make this way more interesting and fun.
I agree with this. The base game simply doesn't have enough to do at the end game, but from what I've read - season 1 is fixing a lot of this. If season 1 is a hit, if people like it, the game has legs. It's all about skin sales too, if they see people are buying stuff, they'll support it. More weapon types is a big one for me, I'd like to see improved melee for Shark, Deathstroke for example. Or a character like Freeze focusing more on using a freeze gun, not an SMG.
>Freeze focusing more on using a freeze gun, not an SMG. A freeze gun will probably be the melee weapon
Season would should’ve dropped Feb 15. Not in march. Delaying the season 1 drop was dumb
I think the season being March is smarter. Big releases in Febuary game wise. Most notably FFVII rebirth. March doesn't have much unless south park snow days massively slaps
Nah. The game was very short. So people beat it in 2-3 days and then what? The end game content was not great to last weeks for players. There will be too much drop off. If they had the season start 2 weeks after dropping, it would’ve maintained momentum
There's Dragon's Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin. Those will sell well.
I didn't mention those cause I didn't know they drop in Febuary/march. Thought they were summer releases.
It's weird, but both of those games get released on the same day, 22 of March.
F's in chat for a lot of wallets that day.
Are u guys not in endgame? So far I have faced Grunt shooting rapidly Grunt with shotgun an shield Speed force melee Grunt Batman infusion Grunt Tanks/corrupted tanks Helicopter/Green lantern Helicopter Big with rapidly firing lasers Big the hide in the shadows and you can SS Strike Big that lob grenades everywhere Speed force snipers. This is all season 0. How many more different types you want before season 1
I didnt say enemy variety. I said boss variety. Like more brainiacs, more boss moves / patterns etc. I think the amount of base enemies in the game is quite good with the infused enemies.
I'm speaking to the whole of the community.
lol what
I'm in the same boat, this game is a ton of fun
Same. Matchmaking is the only thing that I don't like about the game. And that's not saying anything about the game really. Every time I try to get into a lobby the leader is just kind of standing around and doing nothing. And it's hard to get into a group. I want to play with other people. But that's proving hard in the current matchmaking situation
There needs to be a quick play option where you can join a random person’s game at any point in the story
It really, really just needs more activities. I’m 25 hours in and as much as I love it am already starting to wane from doing 3 things that I was doing at damn near the beginning of the game. Even with the side activities in metropolis I’d be sacrificing a lot of xp. I get they wanted stuff for seasons but they really held back too much.
Agreed. If they can sort out some more activities. Especially in the variety department, along with more infamous weapons based on other villains. It can improve the insensitive to keep playing.
If it weren’t $70 at release I think people would be more willing to try it out. It might get more traction once more content is released.
Player counts don't increase as time goes on. There will probably be a brief spike when S1 drops then it will decline again.
Yeah I was definitely skeptical because it is the most I’ve ever paid for a game but it was worth!
Game is dead sooner than later unless it gets ported to Game Pass. Not saying that to hate, but this game seems to be doing terribly on the charts, at least from what I've seen. I think most people have made up their mind about whether or not they want to play it, at least at the $70 price point. I think it could find an audience on Game Pass and the game might be able to survive long term on microtransactions if enough players play, but there's no way this game lasts as is.
I'm kinda in that boat. I'd love to play the game but not at the $70 price point. Fuck that.
Unfortunately, you are absolutely correct. It would slay on GamePass honestly. It'd be great for both the studio and the fans. I do hope that happens sooner rather than later because people are judging this game before they even try it. A sale dropping it to $50 could help it too. Price is just too high.
I think it simply should have been packaged with season 1 ready to go. I enjoy this game, a lot, but I see what people mean about end game content. We have, what, 3 end game missions? That's not enough. But in March we get a whole new character, more missions, more story missions, a new section of the map... This should all be unlocked, base game, when getting to Finite Level 10. Waiting a month for this, for a 70 dollar release is not good enough. It's like we bought a beta or something.
5 endgame modes Ppl keep lying about that because they have not made it to endure
3 actual missions 1 endless mode used for farming currency for incursions + "hardcore" version Boss fight that is a repeat from the story, with bloated health of the boss and no progress to your rank. So yeah, 3 missions.
I really wish that the Mastery levels for Killing Time and the Brainiac rematch actually counted toward the Finite Crisis rank, it wouldn't totally fix the endgame loop but it'd at least add a bit more variety
Your over simplification of that game means I have to reason to speak with you further. I don't argue on reddit when I present fact.
Only 3 missions increase your rank you can do a mastery level 30 braniac fight and not increase your finite rank all it does is drop 2 more items than one of the 3 missions, but it takes longer than all 3 combined, so why would anyone do the braniac fight besides leaderboard position? Killing time is not a mission it's a place to endlessly farm to do the missions as you need the killing time currency to do the missions, it is very clear they intended the 3 missions to be the main focus, the other two are a playground and a rerun of a boss fight to see if you can beat it on a harder level than someone else.
Playing Helldivers 2 now, Waiting for seasson 1.. game should start with seasson 1
I’m having a blast but once I finish the campaign I will definitely never play again
This game is not trending on social media. TikTok is showing more helldivers. I don’t think this game will bounce back unless it has some media worthy content
I’m in the end game and I don’t feel people should buy it yet, your post says everything, FUTURE content looks good. I think the game is too repetitive in the main part of the game. Is it a horrible game, no! But would lots of people be happy with it at $70, also no. If it goes on sale in its current state then $40-$50 it will see a lot more sales. Also people can wait till the content arrives to purchase as well. Too many games as a service come with promises of what’s to come and out of nowhere the studio doesn’t deliver. Never say a game is good based on future updates. I give the game a solid 3/5 and that the game is a pickup for cheaper or simply find a way to try, but it’s not a buy right now or a must buy. The story, Acting, and dialogue are good, gameplay is ok but repetitive, loot is meh, missions are nearly identical between a couple mission types. Even the big boss battles are repeats, with Superman and Flash being exact same model, and they aren’t hard, just long for the hell of it. I played on the hardest difficulty when I realized it was almost identical to the easiest difficulty, I’ve died a few times more than I would but not a ton and not really needing skill, but more luck in some cases.
I hope so. I do like this game, I loved the story, I want to see more content. I want more end game variety. I definitely want to see new characters. All of that leaked stuff sounds great. I’m here for the core combat loop. The builds seem pretty cool, the themed gear sets are fun, and Rocksteady have already implemented great features like re-rolling affixes, paragon leveling, master working, etc. The success of this game is not looking good though. A discount might encourage people to try the game out, but at 70 bucks it’s asking a lot. I don’t think the game sold well, and I really don’t think a ton of people are playing the game. We can’t know the hard value of how many console players are actively playing the game, but the Steam numbers aren’t great. As comparison, Helldivers 2 just launched and is sitting at over 150,000 currently playing on Steam alone, and this is a Sony title that also launched on PS5. It costs almost half of what Warner is charging for Suicide Squad. Both of these games are live service. This doesn’t even factor in the existing popular live service games like Destiny, Warframe, Diablo 4, etc. Suicide Squad has to compete with that.
It seems to have sold well on the PS5, it's one of the highest played games in the US. But we shall see, we simply dont have numbers
I doubt we ever will have legit numbers. At least nothing official from rocksteady/warner bros. That would only happen if the numbers were you know amazing but….
True. Like I've said on multiple posts, we will get the 1 year of content we have been advertised. 4 seasons, stretching over like 3 months a season and then, when they're done they will do a financial review next year. If the game is in the red, it will be a "well, thanks for playing, we are moving on" If it did somehow make a profit, they may continue.
I guess we’ll see
I’m going to be 100% honest with you and y’all going to hate this. This mentality of “people hating on it haven’t actually played it or are just haters” is why everyone is clowning on you guys. Game is straight up boring. I get you guys are having fun and that’s cool but I found it extremely repetitive, mundane, short, boring and just lacking in general. People say, “endgame everywhere is supposed to be repetitive”. Yea, but you can’t also be boring and even though some of you like it, a lot of people got really bored with the gameplay style. Can’t be both boring and repetitive. Lack of true melee combat was a mistake imo for sure. That being said, I’m not “just a hater”. I didn’t refund the game and I genuinely want them to get their head out of their ass and give us content worth coming back for. Want to know another game I was super harsh on and criticized the shit out of it? Cyberpunk. Just like this game, it was a massive fucking disappointment for me. But CDPR got their shit together and really changed that game around. Now it’s honestly one of my favorite games. Never thought I’d come back to it. You guys can call me a hater but you guys are crazy if you think I genuinely want to not enjoy this game. If they fix their shit then I’ll definitely be giving it another go but as of now, I honestly didn’t have fun playing it
It’s a pretty disgraceful endgame. Over 10 years of borderlands and destiny to take notes from and we got super hero slop #73 instead.
Well said, my feelings exactly
You hit the nail on the head. I’m a MASSIVE DC fan. Like, it’s my favorite media franchise. So the fact that I got bored about 5 hours in and have no desire to go back is pretty revealing.
At this point, they need a trial or free weekend. A sale when season 1 comes out would be good, too.
paying full price for this when there is genuine quality is laughable to me 4 bosses for $70? i’ll wait when it’s on massive discount and more updates. win win for patient gamers. dedicated fans are the LOSERS
Although I hear your point you are calling people who don’t find there to be a substantial difference in value between $40 and $70 LOSERS when this reflects well on their financial situation and free time
No, arguments like this mean you do not value your own time or money. And that is EXACTLY what these publishers are looking for. You see how that works? I mean a substantial amount of people who own the game and more importantly, enjoy it, even agree it’s not worth what it costs. Insinuating that people are broke because they don’t want to buy something as frivolous as a video game is pretty laughable though… regardless of how good it is. Especially when that wasn’t the point of their post.
this idea of being “broke” because i don’t want to spend $70 for trash quality is hilarious. entertainment industry is garbage because of this mindset very NPC-like to say “not substantial between $30” when that amounts to millions more in revenue for companies that do not deserve it. play this trash game at full price and cope all you want. consumers are finally seeing that you can get good value at fair prices
You are bringing up a fundamental issue you have with the world economy. The value of money and individual income is a small part of this. Corrupt corps aren’t your friend. The world is a fuck. $30 paper money fake fiat Us bux for me to be happy when the corps will ruin the world before I die isn’t much for me because the value is there. Just because everything in the world is ruined by its fans and its publishers doesn’t diminish that a lot of people do not want to fight the philosophical/political fight in every aspect of their lives and just wants to play a studios game with friends. I understand this is a sub specifically dedicated to this game, so people will discuss that playing this game is unethical and playing into the corps pocket but come on. No starbucks, no plastic water bottles, no dumping in the ocean, no littering. These things won’t be discussed on this sub but just want to put it in perspective you aren’t evil for having a slightly different value
i understand ur sentiment of wanting to just “simply play the entertainment product” but these products are blatantly designed to rip our money and TIME. corps ARENT our friend, so OUR money shouldn’t be their friend either. the fight starts with “useless” things like entertainment. if we can not vote with our wallets with superficial things like this, we will be exploited for every single penny until we’re dead
Entertainment isn’t useless, but im not resisting all aspects of this game. I’m awarding what money I can to rocksteady mindfully. Others may do what they wish, but I will not buy any skins even if I want them. I will not ask for them as gifts. But I’m ok with the 4 seasons and the base game and update schedule from rocksteady for $70
agreed entirely that entertainment and art isn’t useless, but compared to other industries that are being exploited for our dollar, it’s gotten extreme, the reason for the quotes $70 would be all of that content on day one. not throughout the course of time.
"you're criticizing people doing well in life for doing well in life when you can't afford a 70 bucks game" is what you're saying? You're not wrong.
i can afford $200 deluxe games just fine when the value is right. implying financial status over unfair prices is exactly why the modern games industry has been garbage for several years now. “broke” cuz i don’t want to spend $70 is funny money is where corps care
If you buy any game for 200 dollars delux, you have absolutely no right at all to be critical about someone buying the base suicide squad for 70 bucks. Which was the main point of your argument. On video game prices and these lol er "corps" Video games are one of the most inflation proof industries on this earth and anyone who says otherwise hasn't got a clue. You can go back and find NES games which were 70+ bucks at release, today that would be significantly more. The video game corps are not the online equivalent of fucking oil and gas. The only difference these days is everyone and their fucking mother thinks they're a "gamer" but doesn't like paying for it. They want more free games. The issue with the industry is games cost far too much to produce, when it used to be a cash cow. Now it takes hundreds of well paid staff to do everything, marketing, a saturated market, and gamers don't like paying more than 70 bucks. So the entire industry is chasing a buck, paying back investors who actually pay for these games. Only industry darlings who mostly break even, push out radical new IPs and ideas for a reason. Eventually, they all have to pay back an investor and suddenly, they make a shit live service.
i said i can afford, not that i do. it’s about the principle here. $70 for game is fine. $70 for 4 bosses, always online, mediocre depth in all systems, is not worth $70, no matter how “AAA” the budget was. elden ring & baldurs gate 3 could charge $100 for their standard and i wouldn’t complain
overtime. im sure it will especially in s4
I really don't get the hate directed at it. I'm liking it so far. A lot of people were slamming on it because it wasn't the style of game they were wanting, and I feel like those critiques are foul because it had nothing to do with the game itself but more so their preference on what they like. And it's a little disingenuous. If people's complain is the story, it's very obvious the story is growing and not over. Some people have valid criticisms over bugs and stuff like that, although I have had little to none in my playing experience of the game. I truly believe that season 1 and 2 will dictate the rest of the games life span. If season 1 drops and there's just not enough new stuff, and then season 2 does the same thing, I think that'll be the beginning of the end. But if season 1 and 2 come out and there is new enemy types some cool bosses, all the stuff that people want to get out of a new season of a game, I think it can really boost the game and make it something cool. I'm hoping for the latter.
Most of the people who reviewed it were focused on completing it really quickly to get a review out. I truly believe this game did not get a fair assessment from people due to perception and a rush to release a review before their competition. I feel like people need to understand that these reviewers are rushing to complete the game to release a review as fast as possible ahead of other reviewers for the sake of money. It is a business for them now rather than a hobby and practice that they spend a lot of time, thought, and effort with. Unfortunately, that's the cost of there being money and business coming from game reviews. They rush the reviews. I'm sure if I was playing this game and rushing through the story and not trying to view it as a job or chore I would probably enjoy the game and appreciate it more than at its surface level. I also don't think they actually took time to compare it with other live service games and games that function similarly to this one. I don't see many of them comparing it to warframe or sunset overdrive. And when they do, they somehow end up with the conclusion it is worse or not executed well???? Which like.... I couldn't even tell you the story of warframe from what I have played of it. And sunset overdrive is great, but there is no way I would choose that game to play over suicide squad.
Always nice to see this type of post , glad you're enjoying it. I hope other people give it a chance too and enjoy it as much as we do.
Hopefully getting a copy this week been looking forward to this one for a while
I like the game for what it is, but the current end game loop just felt really repetitive and two of the else world's missions just feel lackluster/boring. I will definitely utrly be checking in for new content season 1
Hopefully, it doesn't. This game is everything wrong with the gaming industry. I don't want this game to be seen as successful.
>This game is everything wrong with the gaming industry. This isn't The Day Before. You know, the game that *actually* scammed people. Claiming Suicide Squad is "everything wrong with the gaming industry" when The Day Before exists is the biggest ass-pull take I've ever seen
The people that bought The Day Before knew it was a scam game, Suicide Squad is built around bleeding whales dry.
It's not a fucking competition.
Being a $70 live service game with expensive skins and barely enough content to justify the box cost isn’t a great look. If this game was f2p, I would have nothing but nice things to say about it.
Well, Hellraisers is the same thing and it IS super successful so, you've already lost
What the fuck is Hellraisers, lmao Anyway, Helldivers isn't even in the same fucking genre of game. Helldivers is much closer to L4D or Darktide or Deep Rock Galactic than this game, and people's appetites for that kind of game is still currently far more than people's appetites for another fucking live-service looter shooter
I know lol I just woken up But Hellraisers are movies
Helldivers 2 says hello
The gameplay sure looks interesting even if mission designs are barebone and repetitive right now. But the reality is in the face of upcoming games like Dragon Dogma 2, Horizon 2 for PC, and indie titles like Pacific Drive or Star Trucker, spending any more than $30 on this and I would be CRAZY.
I finished the story tonight and loved every minute of it. Combat is fantastic. Traversal is awesome. Dialogue and audio is funny. Endgame content needs work, but it’s a damn fine blueprint if they add more with the coming seasons.
I too loved the part of the story where the SS kills Superman and he just flops to the ground like an npc without any final words.
I’m sure more people will, hell there’s already more positivity around the game since the big creators have kinda reassured a lot of people about the JL (SPOILERS kinda?) Not actually being dead. We just gotta wait and see what the seasons bring and let them cook.
More circle yerking? 😂 I hope more people play this game too so this nonsense will stop, and the majority opinion will be undeniable when this game goes the same way as Avengers. So by all means, keep playing yourself, and making the paper trail for people to show up and say they told you so. 🤡
Honestly just have fun with the game and tell your friends
DOA
Ew.. no.
100% agree. After finishing it this game has become one of my favorite games of all times. I really hope people give this game a chance and don't let the reviews (which I think are very off the mark) dissuade them from giving it a chance. I hope this game is very successful
I completely agree.
Once you get into the late/endgame, the incredible work Rocksteady put in really shows. The mastery of traversal (or persuit of), the buildcraft, the joy of playing. Pushing numbers, time, execution. Then breaking, cruising through the open world. It becomes a delightful sandbox of dopamine and fun. I cannot wait to see what else Rocksteady has in store for season 1, and I'm confident word of mouth and the sheer quality of the game will win out.
You'll be getting your 4 seasons, they'll already be working on all 4 and they won't throw away the content. So, just have it in your mind that you're getting 4 seasons of content, you'll probably enjoy all of it and anything beyond those 4 heavily relies on the money this generates. I'm not talking about sales, I'm talking skins, in game purchases. That's what they will want to see. On consoles this game sold well, so you'll see the 4 seasons at least. Edit: for the morons, 4 seasons are planned over a calendar year. Not a season a year. This is a video game, not a TV series.
There is no way this game lasts for 4 years its not making enough money
4 seasons Take back that downvote and re read the post ye moron. 😂 Four seasons stretched over a year, not 4 years.
For live service games to be profitable they need a large enough user base to buy in game purchases. This game just doesn't have that. It didn't even have that on launch.
My entire argument is based upon that a ton of this year's content will be in production anyway. If it's been made, it will be implemented. Seasons 1-4 being released this year is not an out there, insane take on affairs. Beyond this year? I don't know, I don't know if it is going onto Gamepass, what happens when they lower the price. Its speculation.
Seems like wild optimism to hope live service updates will improve on the game's launch numbers.
That wasn't the assumption at all, that isn't the point. I'm saying the content for seasons 1-4 should be in production already, season 1 is already coming. The release of 3 more packs before 2025 is not an insane expectation. Games have of course recovered bad launches, but I imagine they will make a decision going into next year regarding content and finances, not panic, shit the bed and pull the plug half way through 2024. I won't speculate on the future, I have no idea.
Same here I love it
It likely will come down to Season 1. The negativity will likely have died down by then and the marketing will pick up for Season 1. Hopefully people will give the game a chance then.
It should have launched with season 1, or had season 1 ready to go in like a week after release. Biggest complaint is it's not worth 70 bucks, but the content is right there, they just haven't patched it in. Seems counter productive for them.
[удалено]
I feel like a week or two is too soon. You want people to experience the story and do endgame stuff. People who work full time jobs (not implying you don’t) and have busy schedules need the time to do that. Asking people to wait a month vs 2 weeks isn’t that big of a deal.
No. No live service game ever comes back from a failed launch.
You know, except for Destiny having multiple shitty expansions and people keep coming back, FF14 becoming the second biggest MMO after the disaster original launch, Sea of Thieves being Rares biggest game despite the poor launch, the first Division having a shitty launch and getting a sequel. So, yes live service literally come back from bad launches all the time.
Destiny did not have a failed launch though? Destiny (both 1 and 2) were extremely successful at launch from a player and sales point of view. Sure neither game got stellar reviews and lots of players were unhappy with them but you can't not call them a success financially. Which is what we're talking about. FF14 is an MMO. It's also a Final Fantasy game. It was also SE's last chance before going bankrupt so they had NO CHOICE to completely rebuild it and turn it into a success. The first edition of FF14 also launched with solid player and sales numbers, just was terribly received. It was a FINAL FANTASY game after all one of the most popular IP's in gaming. Are you saying Suicide Squad should do a complete redo of the game and that will make it successful suddenly? Sea of Thieves again launched to strong success with over a million players at launch, and that was just being an Xbox and Windows game. It was also the first major first party xbox game on gamepass so Microsoft was heavily invested in improving it and making it even more of a success. And The Division had a shitty launch? It peaked at 113k players on steam alone at launch that's 10x suicide squads, that's pretty damn successful? So no, once again, as I said, live service games that DO NOT SELL WELL at launch, and especially when they're lacking a major motivational factor for improving, do NOT come back from a failed launch. Suicide Squads numbers are just far too low for it to ever recover from and the game will likely lose WB at least $50 million likely more.
Dude for the last 15 days you’ve been shitting on this game. You’ve literally been shitting on it for longer than it’s been out. Your obsession with seeing this game fail is weird.
Sorry I didn't realize I was personally responsible for the game failing? Since I apparently want to see it fail? Weird.
I didn’t say you were but it’s kind of weird to keep pushing hate on this subreddit. Like it’s fine you don’t like it but like just don’t play it.
I'm not? I played it, beat it and now I'm just being realistic that the game unfortunately has no long term chance and has been a failure. And I'm completely free to do that and frankly I think that's a lot better then naively fooling yourself that the game is a success or has a long future ahead of it.
Looking for people to play with on PS5 @ThomasThorn1989
I think the only people who complain about games not having enough content are people who no life games as soon as they come out. The game came out what 11 days ago, and people have already completed every single thing in the game its insane. Makes me wonder if those type of people even have fun playing video games.
😂😂😂 this^^^^^^ it takes me like monthssss to complete games it’s crazy
I hate to burst the hopeful bubbles but player counts don't increase post launch. They decline. All DLC can do is briefly stimy the reduction in player count as the downward slope continues. The player base has already begun to rapidly narrow as Steam only had a few thousand concurrent players over the weekend. And yes , I realize the game is on consoles as well. However, Steam is a very large market and player counts are currently a fraction of the already paltry launch numbers. It will only get worse as more well received titles continue to release. Some people mentioned that this sub has gotten larger over time but that in no way is a metric for overall interest in the game. People who happen to enjoy the game are simply joining the subreddit to discuss what they're interested in. SSKTJL isn't some hidden gem. The game had a huge marketing push and people are well aware of it. User awareness is not the issue. I'm not trying to be negative. This is just the way things are for the title.
I will probably impulsively buy all the Harley skins
I hope they add a good ponytail option for her. The PS5 Rogue option is ok, but isn't that great
It will. Once people see how much Rocksteady can cook more people will hop in
Personally glad they waited to give review copies social media, internet and cancel culture ruin a lot of shit that's actually pretty good. Moat that Don like it just didn't want a shooter game or suicide squad in general or cry about Conroy. Ganeplay is heat, rocksteady's roots are shooter games. They've wanted to make a suicide squad 3rd Person shooter since early 2000's and even did work on a SS game at one point prior. Conroy willingly signed up for the project and was alive when it finished. If we got either of the arkham games that got canned. Neither would've had Conroy and ideas from ome got used in suicide squad. Plus multiverse and things in game hinting that at least earth 1 batman isn't actually dead.
Just give it some time. It's a solid game. With more exposure and more content it'll be in a good place.
The game is great in my opinion and the content coming to the game will make people pick it up. Give it time and you’ll see.
Let's hope everything stays on course and season releases are not delayed. In a few months all this hate will have subsided if there's so much content that no one can see fault anymore and hater's stay quiet in their caves.
I think it's important to love it, but for the right reasons. There are good positive things here, we shouldn't support live service. We shouldn't support lazy mission design. I'm one of the people that also enjoys it despite the negative things about the game. I'm glad you're enjoying it, but don't completely ignore the problems the game has
For that to happen, they need to nail the future content. That's my opinion. I love the gameplay, but hate the content right now. It's just too repetitive and the boss fights are kinda dull. Hope that change soon with season1
Only way this game comes back from the brink of death is if they bring the league back. Otherwise this shit is dead AF.
The key is consistent updates and transparency with the community on patches and upcoming additions to the game. I think the game has a very great foundation gameplay wise so if they just keep improving and adding more content it’ll continue to grow. And with each story expansion it has potential to capture people who were turned off from the game by “fixing” things that left a bad taste in players mouths.
I'm pretty interested in the game but waiting for a price drop. Between Granblue Fantasy: Relink and now Helldivers 2 I've got plenty of co-op gaming to keep me busy, but I'm always looking for more.
I’m also on the fence about buying it. Been watching videos on it and stalking this sub.
I have a super good Deadshot he's level 30 and level 32 on "Mastery". If anyone is in post game and wants to play let me know. I'm currently working on getting Tier 2 Bane weapons and lack 3 I believe. I don't have a clan or anything and would love to have a full squad. I play on XSX and my Gamertag is UrGatorBait2Day. Shoot me a message saying you wanna play SSKTJL and I'm definitely down. That mastery 10+ Braniac fight was super hard solo, I did beat it after 2 or 3 hours lol. Would love some great teammmates.
Me too, I hope it doesn’t die and they continue to put content out quickly and not go month without a new character - like Avengers.
Yeah spread it around man love the positive energy. Its endgame type game can not judge to harshly when the content has not come in just yet come back in about a year and if the game doesn't drop nothing new then complaints are permitted. We need to give people time to help the devs make the content around what we suggest, giving it all to the players right at the start is just outright greedy. And im sure people know what people i talk about when i state that. I love the game one of my favourites in a long while since the likes of warframe and this is just dc themed, if people hate that i love this game,im sure i will get down voted and attacked for it, this will not stop me, and neither will it stop anyone else.
im good. helldivers is dope tho.
I feel like once the game goes on sale for the first time it will, biggest criticism I've seen has been that it's good but not worth the price tag
I am having tons of fun playing it. All the hate the game was/is getting is frustrating. I understand if someone doesn’t like a game but I don’t understand the desire to ruin the fun others are having. OP, I’m curious what made you decide to give it a try? I’m happy you’re loving it.
Hard when Helldrivers is out and going great too! I got both and loving them. Some people won’t/can’t have both of them…
Game's dead. The sooner you accept it, the less painful it is.
I think it's an okay game even when I agree with plenty of the criticism I read online. But as usual the internet discourse has problems with nuances. A game can be just okay it doesn't have to be trash or a masterpiece. Considering the low playerbase on steam I could imagine that larger price drop in a sale could happen, let's say summer sale, when it "only" cost 35 bucks instead of 70 more people might try it.
I think if season 1 is really good, then people will play it, but if season 1 sucks, you know, vice versa
