14 year old me was so cringe. Vomited in my mouth a little bit.

Make sure to either keep it on your person or in a secured location like a locker. Even if you trust your co-workers, it's best to be safe.

Peacemaker? I'm in. Is it gonna be dubbed? Then I'll watch for sure.

I'm absolutely heartbroken rn. Dude made my favorite anime ever.

Ive put I think at least 20 hours into the game so I think I can weigh in on it:

The main gameplay loop is very, very repetitive. There are a bit more than a dozen types of crime activities for you to stop, which seems like a fair amount at first, but you tend to stop between 6-10 crimes every single gameplay loop, so they tend to get stale fast.

Each of the characters having different strengths and play styles is nice, they all feel unique and suited for different things. But the controls sometimes feel clunky, and definitely not as fluid as the Arkham games.

The story is alright? Ill reserve judgment since I havent bothered to finish the game yet. The story missions themselves are fun enough, though. Its just the getting to them via the standard got out for a night on patrol gameplay loop becomes a slog.

I think honestly its a fine game, it just feels very games as a service at times and that rubs people the wrong way, especially when we have the Arkham series to look back on for comparison.

That's a fair opinion. Though I never got a GAAS feel from it. No ads for MTX or anything similar to that.

This has to be a joke. Saying you like it is one thing, (which I respect), but the best game of 2022? No way.

As someone that didn't like God of War Ragnarok or Elden Ring, I'd agree with him. It's between this and Arceus. 2022 wasn't a great year for games imho. 2023 though...

Its a stupid multiplayer game

What makes it stupid? That it's multi-player? Or is there something else that makes it stupid, thus it's stupid, and then it's multi-player as an additional piece of info?

Nightwing is my favorite DC character so I had a blast with it, especially with the Jim Lee comic outfit. I played both solo and with my friend and she used Batgirl and we had a lot of fun. Been too busy with other games but I do plan on eventually playing it again with Robin, Red Hood and Batgirl.

I did it as Jason and Batgirl, switched to Dick and Tim every once in awhile when I felt like it. Was very fun either way. Had a blast.

evilpresident posted...

I think it not being part of the Arkham universe turned a lot of people off from it. Which is a shame cause it was a perfectly fine game. Nothing super duper groundbreaking but it was fun.

Yeah, it was a good game. Not like...a transcendent experience like Arkham City but fun and good and even better co-op. They should have made it connected to Arkham instead of SSKTJL tbh.

Roachmeat posted...

Personally, I liked the game but found out I was playing it wrong for a good bit at the beginning.

I didn't know switching between characters was a big part of it. Would have gone the entire game just playing as one knight.

As a Superman mark, you would think something where Batman gets 'got' would be among my top ten. I'm secretly waiting for DC comics to pull a narrative like this for Supes (but with Shazam and Supergirl among the Metropolis Knights).

Wait, playing as one character wasn't the way to go? I've done that every playthrough and had plenty of fun and no issues lol. Though I have tried everyone at least once, I'd mostly stick to one character.

Also...why would you hate Batman as a Superman fan? Both are fantastic!

Makeveli_lives posted...

Heard the gameplay loop wasnt much. A lot of the same mission types until the end of the game type of thing.

I found the story related missions had a lot of variety, it's just the overworld crime missions that could get repetitive. Though I had no issue with that because the combat was fun. It felt no different from the Arkham games where you'd run into the same fights a lot of the time if you went along the same routes tbh.

I've played it a few times, the story mode at least twice with a friend and one time solo. I just don't get where the hate comes from, it's very, very fun. The only complaints I had didn't really significantly change my experience with the gameplay.

Can anyone offer me some insight? I'm thinking about revisiting the game at some point.

GRlFFITH posted...

Nah, I think you're over indexing on just how many diehard capeshit bros there are. I enjoy DC and Marvel and I couldn't give two shits about superheroes dying. The game flopped because of it being a shitty live service game with very uninspired repetitive and bare bones gameplay. Comic nerds with their weird para social relationships wish it failed because of the narrative, but honestly it was it simply just being nothing fun to play.

I mean, most of the discourse online was about the story on launch day. Not about the gameplay. The gameplay, by all accounts, is the most praised aspect of the game.

Axiom posted...

No it really had nothing to do with any of that. It failed because it was a bad game

From what I hear, the gameplay is actually the best part of the game. I hear it's very, very fun and fluid.

dummy420 posted...

People were pretty hyped about it during initial reveal. When all we knew was the suicide squad was trying to kill the justice league since they had been taken over. What killed it was the second gameplay was revealed.

The story concept was fine and could have sold games. It would have rightfully been shat on when people actually saw the story but it wasn't the story that doomed the game. It was the gameplay model.

Not from what I saw personally, people were in absolute denial that they were gonna kill the JL.

I don't think there was a single person who wanted a Suicide Squad video game wanted to kill the Justice League. I remember when the game was announced, everyone was thinking it was gonna be like...a red herring of a title or something and you were gonna save them. Because, like...it's Superman. It's Flash. It's Batman. People don't want to kill the Justice League. Especially not as Deadshot, Harley, Boomerang, and Shark.

It feels like they didn't learn a lesson from the failure of the original Suicide Squad. Or learn one from the sequel. People like villains, but you gotta earn their love of these characters. None of the characters besides Harley are known in this universe, we know about Harley only because of the Arkham games. They never earned our interest, they're just these random villains with next to no redeeming qualities. That's one of the biggest mistake of the original Suicide Squad compared to it's sequel. People learned to love the group of them. Even the evil ones, people cared about them(Peacemaker). They earned it.

In the game you got 4 annoying characters you can't enjoy at all that are killing off characters who have spent years earning people's affection.

Should have had just a random villain. The moment they picked the Justice League, it's fate was sealed imho.

Go back to Part 5 and make it a nexus point for the series. Either bring back a zombie Roy, or go with the original plan of making Tommy the new killer.

Look at the Halloween franchise. People still seem to love it and how many timeline variations are there of it now?

I don't think anyone wants Roy lol. Tommy would be interesting though...but the idea of going back before Part 6, the best movie in the series, pains my heart.

Fuck Victor Miller anyway, dude hates Jason.

I really hope playable cohosts includes Kayla Braxton.

Based on what they said on WWE, it's cohosts of the Pat MCAfee show.

Kayla has been made playable by WhatTheStatus in 2k22 and 2k23(via community creations using her official model in-game) though. Same with Byron, Corey, etc etc.

Looming to be the best WWE game in years.

Pretty sure Jason is Mike Myers knockoff, not the otherwise.

Was referring to Season Of The Witch. <_<

Can't they make a new F13th with a totally-not-Jason killer?

The TV series has nothing to do with Jason anyway

Didn't work so well with Halloween or the series they did.

I was responding to message #2 but then the first message appeared again. Tf?

This is why I say it depends on the contract. Some do specify that an employer owns whatever an employee comes up with. Some licence it for a time period before the rights revert to the creator.

I just think 'I would like to see some more of this IP' is not really relevant to the contractual dispute.

Iirc it was because 35 years passed and the Supreme Court made a law back in 1975 that allows writers to petition for ownership of it.

It's just dumb and nonsense. I would like to see more of Jason, but courts split Jason and the series down the middle so hard it is almost impossible for anyone to make any money off the idea of it alone. So, in essence, the idea of Jason and F13th changed so much that the courts agreed to split it down the middle despite it not really making sense since Jason as an entity is barely tied to Miller's work.

So yes, I would like to see the IP but also the whole case is dumb in general.

Kim_Seong-a posted...

At least with this, part of the blame lies on Archie's incompetence, if I remember correctly. Pretty sure they actually lost the contract or some other document that would've shut ponders down lol

Fair enough on that lol. I just think the idea of it is just...so braindead.

ai123 posted...

Depends on the original contract.

Do we really want 'anything you come up with belongs to your employer in all circumstances'?

Seems a high price to pay for more Friday 13th content.

There's a big difference between 'everything you come up with belongs to your employer' and 'you wrote a piece of media as part of a transaction but after 35 years you can get it back'. Miller had nothing to do with Jason as a character beyond a brief bit of origin and a dream sequence. He was paid for what he did and now intends to let his side if what he now owns to rot. In terms of pure concept, I believe if you are hired to make something, it should be considered owned by the person who hired you.

It's as simple as that. Same thing if I ask someone to record a piece of a beat for me because I plan to write a song. The song's ownership shouldn't come into question because of it. Or if I commission art. If the agreement in place is that I own it now, it should be mine. Same if I were to make the art. This isn't to say credit should not be given, but the art shouldn't revert back to the person who did it originally because why not. It's absurd.

Fenriswolf posted...

While Miller did have a case about the money he was owed, he did not create Jason as we know him today, considering that all we see of Jason in the first movie was a fake out scare at the end. Jason in the second movie was a hillbilly with a sack over his head, and it wasn't until the third movie that he got his iconic hockey mask.

I don't think he even had a case about the money. He was paid to do a job, and he did the job. It's as simple as that. He signed the contract and knew what he was getting into.

Mad-Dogg posted...

All I know is that I am pretty salty this whole thing effected the genuinely pretty fun friday the 13th video game and so every single one of their DLC expansion plans had to get scrapped. My friend and I had way too many goofy moments with the randoms and a shit talking jason.

I agree with this too.

Basically. Victor Miller wrote the original F13th under contract. He then later on sued for the rights to Jason and won partially, which is why we don't see anything with Jason in it anymore. Dude not only didn't come up with anything involving Jason, but is a bitter old man that is fine letting the franchise die.

Personally, I feel that if you complete a job under contract, you shouldn't own that. You're doing a job. Same stuff with that Sonic Archie comics guy tbh.

Honestly, bro, counseling would be the best bet. If not, just break up. Sometimes things just don't work out.

No it isn't

Yes, it is! And I'm gonna prove you wrong, even if it takes 400+ posts to do it!

I've seen this exact topic more times than I care to remember and it always ends with people telling each other they're wrong.

I guess that's almost every topic on CE though.

Yeah, well, you're overrated.

Well good news, people have heard of the game before. In fact, it's won awards for best Xbox game against titles like GTA 5, and Bioshock Infinite. It's actually a really well made game. I wouldn't say its the most profound, but its still really good.

Didn't the award show it won against those immediately get canceled after it did?

Thanks, fellas. I didn't think of working outside the box.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/0f8d826d.jpgSaw this as an ad on YouTube. It's legitimately impossible, isn'tit? Or am I just stupid?

Laughed, thought 'this is gonna get modded', and...

Knight's best thing was the fact that it was set at night with heavy fog, and crowded buildings with winding streets. It allowed the vistas to look fantastic and everything that had to be rendered was so close and tight that they didn't need to show much in terms of large distances.

SSKTJL had to work with daytime, no fog, and large locations that could fit 4 characters, which means 4 people rendering the same locations at the same time.

Not making excuses, but Knight didn't have as much to work with. Knight is better visually in every way, but I don't think SSKTJL being compared to it is very fair...is what I would have said if it wasn't considered the same series. But since they want to do that, it looks dreadful.
