Current Events > WB says the Suicide Squad game contributed to a $200 million hit to revenue

(+) Yeah! (+)

They are a team that helps with narratives, making plots cohesive, and generally making the characters likable. They failed at every single one of those. So either they were brought in and paid to do absolutely nothing, making them a shitty useless company. Or they were brought in and what we saw in the finished game were the fruits of their labor, also making them a shitty useless company. There is no way to slice it where they arent a shitty useless company.

they wrote SOME of the dialogue

but they did not write the actual plot

Sweet baby helped in making this game shitty, so I disagree.

Real shame it was sold at a premium price with cosmetic DLC and battle passes as a live service title. I don't regret not buying it despite the beta being enjoyable. Really did like it, though.

First 5 hours of the game is really fun. But then you realize from that point on you're doing the same thing over and over and over and over....again until you realize the end game material does nothing to change up the monotonous grind other than to better gear that results in number/damage manipulations and nothing else.

Show me where you think the good dialogue in this game is

Show me where you think the good dialogue in this game is

Where did she say that she thought the dialogue was good?

Figures people here would support Sweet Baby Inc lol

Lol brain broke dudes still talking about some boogieman company ruining this game is hilarious

She said they didn't write all of it, implying the dialogue they wrote wasn't bad. If she wasn't implying that, what is the point of her post? The fact is sweet baby took a paycheck, worked on this game too, and there isnt a single redeeming quality to show for it. Not saying they were entirely at fault, but obviously they sure didn't help in any way. If there was an article saying sweet baby turned down a paycheck for this game after seeing there was nothing they could do to save it, believe me I would be singing their praises to the moon and back. But this is the real world where they are just a shitty, useless company.

They literally doubled down a year before release when they announced the last delay and said they won't remove live service despite all the complaints. Like, they KNEW people hated the concept and even acknowledged the complaints and said they aren't changing shit basically.

If going by this logic and say that it was Sweet Baby Incs fault for this game sucking, could you also apply that and say they contributed to successes like God of War Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, and Alan Wake 2?

I get it dude you will defend a left leaning company no matter what they do

Sweet baby was hired to do a job by other companies. And they did their job. Is there any proof that they forced their way into the development of any game, took over creative control and destroyed the original intent? I have yet to see Amy example of that. If one does exist people like you would bring it up every time. Instead you just made vague comments about woke and DEI and inclusion without showing how their involvement ruined any game.

Prove that Sweet Baby is responsible for the poor game play loop and greedy monetary practices, the true reasons suicide squad is bad.

They are a scapegoat. No one has proved that they are responsible for any of the games they worked on being ruined.

I won't defend them because I don't know them, but also have no reason to think they are the cause of all the problems on modern gaming, which some people claim.

While I would never say anything positive about spiderman 2 or alan wake 2 dialogue or narrative, but I would be willing to concede that the stars aligned and GoW2 was their crowning achievement on the condition that Acemos concedes that they botched this.

botched what

they are not responsible for the success or failure of anygame

that is the point we are trying to explain to you

Sweet Baby Inc (even knowing the context why they named their company that way, I still think it's very stupid) is a consulting film to help with narratives, but ultimately they're not the ones who make the ultimate decision on what's included in games or not. They also contributed to God of War Ragnarok and Spiderman 2 narrative and those games were critically well received. It just feels like people are picking and choosing the wrong thing to take from Suicide Squad's failure.

*Ghosts*

Lmao

In before conservatives blame Sweet Baby Inc for this.

So is Hogwarts Legacy 2 no longer happening

I hate wording like this because it kind of tells you nothing. It's less money than they made last year during the same stretch, and less than they wanted to make. But how much did it cost to produce the game, and what kind of profits, if any, did they make off of the trash?

I do think it's a bit dishonest to say nobody wanted a Suicide Squad game. The concept sounds incredibly fun, and people WERE initially hyped for it... Until it was revealed to be GaaS. THAT is what killed it.

And it's a pity, too. Gameplay-wise, the game is actually kind of a blast. The traversal options between the four characters are all very fun, and the combat feels good. If they hadn't shoved all of this GaaS crap in it, it would have been a good game.

where does WB rank among the most incompetently managed companies at this point, gotta be in the top 1%
