    Yes, how generous of WB to allow it to be released slightly before binning the whole thing for a tax writeoff. How dare we not properly consume and obey!

        If anybody actually knew they probably wouldn’t be allowed to do it in the first place.

        Hollywood accounting, where everything is made up and the points don’t matter!

      Everyone else thought it looked like shit at first sight, I don’t know what they were expecting.

      Maybe they should let developers make fun games instead of trying to land the next big cash-cow.

    They should just fucking cool it with the superheroes. I know it was mostly Disney who milked the genre to death but at this point I have immediate fatigue when presented with yet another piece of comicbook media.

    Make something else, try again with superheroes in 5-10 years.

      I think you are getting it wrong. They tried to sell this game to people who loved Batman Arkham series. And they were simply not interested in a live service, looter shooter, with a terrible story. They always loved a story-driven single player superhero game, which this is not.

      Number of people interested in, what is at most a mediocre looter shooter are minimal at best. So, of course, it failed.

        Yeah, the target audience for this has been happily buying superhero games for a while.

        This is just a really bad superhero game.

          Exactly, I have been replaying Batman Arkham Asylum for the 2nd time. It is my favourite in the Arkham Trilogy, honestly.

      They can’t make anything else because the creative types who can actually come up with interesting and compelling new ideas don’t get along with the business types that aggressively invaded the video game industry the instant it started making lots of money.

      The issue was not that Superheroes are milked. It’s the gameplay isn’t fun and no one wants GaaS.
