So it has to be off Steam or is there another site I can use to get it cheaper?

gamesplanet is a fully authorised reseller
Edit: it looks like greenman gaming is an authorised reseller for this game as well, they aren't always, but they list the source as WB themselves, so in this case they are, it's cheaper there than on gamesplanet.

I didn’t see a way to search for clans in game. Or did I miss it? Think only leaders can invite people.

Not a lot of reviews out yet, but not looking promising based on that and the handful of TBD reviews in progress.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a new genre-bending action-adventure shooter that can be played solo or with up to four players in online co-op. Based on iconic DC characters and developed by Rocksteady Studios, creators of the Batman: Arkham series, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice...

Algorithm is telling gamers to go on a blind angry crusade against Suicide Squad because it isn't Arkham 4. The game is legit fun. All the rage I've seen is from a mob of people that either have not played the game at all or just don't like you do what the game title says you are going to do.
It's their loss as I have no complaints about the gameplay, traversal is fun and despite what everyone says the story really isn't that bad. I can easily see this scenario in comic book form.
It's very much an Arkham game in the sense that for every enemy type in the game you have a specific way to counter them much like Shadow of Mordor/War and the 3 Arkham games have ways to shut down enemies if you know their weaknesses.
While the internet whines, bitches, moans and cries I am having a blast.
The game itself is a GaaS in similar vein to Warframe. You aren't getting the full story out the gate. Game will feature multiple seasons with new characters, maps, content, gear, story.

That sounds fast.
Hopefully this game will have story expansions like Destiny.
I will play this in a year when it will have meaty content.

No it won't. Because it won't make enough money for that. This is the problem with defending GaaS games and buying them... unless you play a very small selection of them, you're never going to get the content that's promised to you. Instead, you'll get a very short campaign, followed by repetitive endgame stuff... and then they'll maybe put out one or two extra content packs... and then it'll die.
In no universe should we be buying and playing games that cost full price and deliver so very little. If this game was F2P, I'd have zero issues with the way the story 'ends', but for a $70 you're never going to convince me that 'that's all for now folks, come back for the rest of the story later!' is worth either my time or my effort.
And instead of insulting everyone who is dragging this game, maybe take a look at all the previous GaaS game disasters that have happened (including the fucking one about The Avengers, for crying out loud) and reflect on the fact that we're not being critical without very good cause.

I think people were interested in this but the stigma and vibe has been so bad this far. And it's always online nature kills it even though I get those that want to try it for curiosity sake.
For me, the game may be decent but probably not. The always online thing is a deal breaker.

I kinda hoped it would at least have plenty of quality story missions for those who dislike the repetitive nature of live service games, but every review seems to echo that it's short, has terrible boss battles, very few enemy types, repetitive mission loops, but fairly fun combat. I'm not crazy about the Suicide Squad so no huge loss for me, I just can't see this having long legs if these are the initial impressions.

Eh, I would rather play this in a year than slog through something like Hogwarts Legacy that they made. Even if they end support faster.
Agree $70 is steep but it will be discounted. Thats how I normally buy games. Last year only 3-4 games i bought day 1.

I haven't played the game myself, but, my crystal ball prediction:
My guess is that the people stanning for this game will feel the regret burn in the next week or so, and it'll be forgotten in a month. And then they'll wonder to themselves, why do I like DC so much that I was willing to shill for a shallow GAAS?

Lol you make it more deep than it is, i don't give a fuck about dc or comics, i just wanted an infamous type of tps and next week there is helldivers2 so i give even less fucks about the game being forgotten if i can get a week of decent fun with it, i'm not a WB shareholder nor i plan to play the game for more than a week, the game could be forgotten today and i would not have a problem, not everyone bought this thing for the gaas aspect or to play it for 500 hours.

There are people with 13 hours into the game and only 53% campaign completion. IGN was spreading more FUD after they didn’t get a free copy.

I mean, you could just, you know, hit the backlog or don't spend 70 bucks on a game for a week and just wait for helldivers?
I'd love a new Infamous.

The thing is, we really don't have many infamous type of tps, don't we?
last game that scratched that hitch was forspoken and it was a 6\10, even if this one is another 6\10 is still better than nothing.
We all have huge backlogs but sometimes we have that hitch to scratch immediately and i'm at home with my leg fucked up since mid december so i'm bored to fucking death

Lol my son finished it in 10 hours, unless you literally force yourself to run around looking at scenery its nowhere near 13 hours long to run the story. Its just a series of the same mission, killing the same enemies, with a few variations on the same objective. Those people who are 13 hours at 53% are the same people who say shit like 'I'm 1400 hours into Skyrim and havent left Whiterun yet'.
Not saying there is anything wrong with that, I mean who gives a fuck how people play a game, but this campaign is definitely not 13 hours long

We shall see if those glowing impressions of the game you have continue. I’ve seen people stan Forspoken, so anything is possible.

I actually liked Forspoken a lot.
I have stopped trusting review sites lately. Both game and movie.
I think my tastes just diverged too much from mainstream, like I'll watch an IMDB movie that's like a 5 and love it.
I'll play a game like Forspoken and wonder "why the heck was it shat on so much".
I'll see a game like Spiderman 2 or God of War R and think to myself "this looks really boring why do people love it".
I'm done lol

Inf2 plays better and the powers are better but i like the plot and vibe of the city of the first one much much more.
The finale was legit one of the best finale i see in a videogame ever, so well voice acted and directed (even if it was just comic book pages with a voice over).
(maybe for comic books readers it was predictable but not for me)

i definitely get being bored of blockbuster games. I generally feel the same.

I would support the complete death of all reviews at this point. Just let people buy games and make up their minds. Sub services would have more value since you could try things and just make up your mind yourself.
This whole debacle around this game shows how ridiculous the current system really is, but there have been many examples for years.

I disagree. Steam has pos 2 hour window for refunds, the game has almost 2 hours of cutscenes after you launch it with barely any gameplay. Good luck figuring out whether you like the game or not while you haven't even played it pretty much at all. It should be at least 4-5 hours, 6 at max.

Haven't checked any reviews yet but from watching a stream of the opening section of the game, the story and writing is legit hilarious so far. Looks like the kind of game that'd be an awesome co-op experience (or solo even) without all the trappings of GaaS. Not that the gameplay itself looks awful, just a let down compared to what could've been, especially when other parts of it look so great.

I support refunds. I just think it's pretty obvious what this game is like if you just watch gameplay footage. You can tell how it is and the quality level.
People are too quick to let someone else give them an opinion. People should learn to just trust their own eyes. Reviews made a bit more sense when all we had is magazines. But anyone can just watch the games these days.

I was raised on Reviews in game magazines. But you're right, we can watch the games nowadays, still, reviews are still in my blood.

This is a decent breakdown where he remains balanced and doesnt just hate on it because its not an Arkham game, he explains in rational detail why 90% of the game is shockingly shit

Helldivers will be an average game that gets overrated.
This is an average game that is getting intentionally underrated.

Watched that review.
He’s says the core gameplay is good but the mission design is a let down and repetitive. That’s about it.
Does that really qualify as ‘shockingly shit’?

You can tell and many people did, but watchin' is not the same as buying and playing as you're suggesting people should do (correct me if I'm wrong).
There's no reviews yet, but I agree with your take on the matter here. Buying the game is not an option though cuz of what I already mentioned. Also, when even previews (and videos after NDA was lifted) are almost 100% negative or at the very least not positive or neutral... it's kinda telling that the game is bad.

I mean he says it’s short, boring, the missions are not creative and they’re repetitive. The upgrades are not compelling, the weapons and upgrades aren’t interesting, and he has no interest in playing the endgame. You’re not going to throw those text bites on a box cover, are you?
Last edited:

Sure.
But you’ve left out the bit where he said he enjoyed the combat and gunplay, that it made an excellent impression in the first couple of hours, that the presentation is great and that Rocksteady have crafted a believable world.
It then, cleary, has rinse and repeat pve modes that get boring, fast. Sounds like there are one or two interesting missions, but the rest is mmo fare.
To me, that just sounds like a pretty standard GaaS launch and its long term success depends on what they deliver next. Does Season 1 bring a whole new story, new gameplay modes, new mobs, new weapons, PvP etc?
And, it sounds like they have got the critical thing right, namely gunplay and traversal. The rest can be fixed (if there’s enough of an audience).

"Glowing" is not an accurate description of what I've posted about the game. I'm enjoying it, that's it. And my enjoying it right now doesn't have anything to do with whether I'm still playing it every night a month from now. That's just not how things work. I don't know what kind of brain worm you've developed about this, but it's tiresome.

Oh that's great then, how about they charge me a 10th of the current price then since that what I'm getting now, and then they can use their extensive monetisation that makes most free 2 play games blush for the other stuff. I mean you used warframe as an example, can you tell me the cost of buying Warframe?
I love These $60 Free 2 play games, wow so much value. I have a better example, Redfall.

This is very true.
But the reason you’re paying $60 is because of the IP involved. As opposed to a silver, non descript space ninja.

I love the amount of people that are like, "YO THIS GAME IS SHIT! LOOK AT WHAT THIS PERSON SAID!" while completely disregarding that there are multiple people actively playing it in here saying, "Hey guys, it's actually pretty fun."
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, of course. But I'd personally listen to multiple people on GAF before believing some random content creator.

That's a fair point, so it comes down to is $60 worth some characters? From current known players the answer is no. But hey it could be successful on console, they do go for different things, it'll show up on xbox most played sooner or later.

I mean, it's obvious, isn't it? Rocksteady made a few of the best singe-player games of all time. Now, they've released what is, at best, a mediocre GAAS game. It's like when one of your favourite bands releases a mediocre or bad album. It's disappointing, and you don't want them to continue down that path. No one wants more St. Anger from Metallica. No one wants more Metroid Other M.
There are people who like the Hobbit films. They're still incredibly disappointing and mediocre at best.

I couldn't agree more, it's no 90+ game, I don't think anyone should've expected that. But I've found it enjoyable and not really worthy of the crosshairs its had on it. But this is coming from someone that was never into Destiny 1/2, etc. So, I never really played a live service game outside of Diablo IV. But it's scratching some itches.
Yeah, I'm still going through Yakuza Zero on the side, but it's been nice to mix it up.
