I have been a gamer for the last 30 years. The older I get, the more I ask the question : What does the game do better that I just wont go back to the game it was inspired from?

[jaydeeao]

A game made for everyone is a game made for no one.

[azaelandy]

I tried the beta and my takeaways are 1: it’s graphically impressive and 2: its as bland as toast

[PulaskiSkater]

Looks like slop meant for the “ Modern Audience “

[AndymionD]

A small point worth mentioning. A studio can start making a game aiming for what in at the moment. With such long production times, by the time the game comes out, the landscape has changed and that is no longer the big thing.

Played it on PS plus for a couple hours over the weekend. It was fine, nothing special. Had some fun in a couple of matches, but bored really quick and never went back in all weekend. There was a 5 minute cut scene when you start it. One of the characters says "set your expectations low....and then be prepared to be disappointed." Doubt the devs realized that would sum up the game really well.

they built a game for a small demographic, then wonder why it has not got a large player base. I can not for the life of me get into that head space way of thinking

[smeXtherXguy]

Itll be free in 6 months and shut down in less than a year this is going to be bad

[just_neon]

Zero interest in this game. The only reason I watched this video was to support the channel, and I like your breakdowns.

I'm tired of paper thin plots, with disney characters. I want more single player experiences with effort. All live service games scream " we want your money, and nothing else!"

[reaper]

I remember first seeing the trailer and thinking "oh this looks like it'll be a cool alien bounty hunter game". NOPE just more bandwagon live service 5v5 crap. Like we don't have 10+ of those already dead or alive. The gaming industry needs a resurgence in originality.

[SomeCameo]

live service games have become this generation's shovelware

[sunniedunbar]

These games suffer from a lack of any obvious hook to stand out. Innovation in map design needs to have a moment.

[captainanorach]

This is looking more and more like another LawBreakers. Don't know what that is? Exactly.

[kicksandswords]

Most gamers prefer single player games not because we don't have friends but because as you get older people have lives/families/work and getting people to do online games gets harder to do. All I'm going to say is Hogwarts Legacy made over a billion dollars while suicide squad vs the justice league is sitting at negative 200 million I repeat negative, that speaks on its own. You can always go back and play a single player game when you want but a live service game will most likely shut down and become unplayable. And single player games have better stories, characters, and gameplay then most online games if we're being honest.

[michaelh]

Worst collection of characters ever put together

[drewtheunspoken]

It's worth noting that these games were in development before the burnout became apparent. By the time Suicide Squad dropped and failed, they were already well into development. At that point, you can scrap the $100 million you've already invested or you cross your fingers, put your nose to the grindstone and hope that your game catches on. Even though all the evidence is against you.

[otherprisma]

The game-play is fun and such, but the main issue are the character design. Like for example Bazz, she is the knife character of the crew. She is fast, throws knives and is super agile but you couldn't tell that just by looking at her at all! She doesn't even have the physic of being agile at all! A lot of the characters need a design overhaul, they just don't reflect their jobs at all.

[cheehee_]

They literally went out of their way to make all the characters offputting or gross lol. Like its almost impressive in a way

[EastyyBlogspot]

As i said before it feels like it could be called Bandwagon the game just feels like something created by execs
