How the hell has this game gotten 8/10?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's by Rocksteady, so the gameplay is likely good.

It's just buried under a bunch of multiplayer and live service bullshit that no actual gamers asked for.

From what i saw, the gameplay looks kinda fun and the story isn't cringe and alright. But man, i wouldn't rate a game that high that has 3 enemies and 3 different missions. Apparently the boss fights are even more of a joke. So it's just game journalism

Watched a few reviews now and ... it seems very disappointing. Some good ideas in there, but the characters aren't who they are, guns are all anemic and samey stat vessels, enemy variety is inexistent, and the core endgame loop is boring and clearly just exists to sell you mtx.

What a shame.

At least with the tepid reviews (60/100 at time of writing) plus the low player count, there's a good chance this'll not be long before it is put out of its misery.

It might just be in-context. For all I know it's a quite solid live service game now - unlike in the previews, which were truly terribly bad and laughable.

But that's the thing, it's still a soulless and styleless and barely suicide squad live service game. But the bar for those is so low overall, this might be quite good in comparison, so if you enjoy the near-endless time investment and this is your genre of choice for those, this might be a good fit for you. Personally I have FFXIV for that, so eh, not really interested at all. 🤷

Gameplay looked quiet fun to be honest and I always like a good coop game. And gameplay is actually the thing I care for, this is also one of the reason I quit FF14 after 800+ hours because in the end it was just a "run to the next text passage" in between the LFG instead of actual gameplay but I have Guild Wars 2 for this.

But how long do you wanna fight the same 2 or 3 enemies and do e different missions, of which most seem to be escort missions. The gameplay can't ve that fun. And it's a 70 dollar game

[–] avater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If they nailed the 30s gameplay loop it could be fun. Of course the rest like the loot also has to work, because of their service game approach and therfore I wait for final reviews.

maybe it's not that bad? I mean the only big outlet who actually think its that bad and is riding this meta is IGN and I dont understand why people suddenly follow IGN or give a shit about their review/oppinion so much. Youtubers like Skillup for example actually liked the game, it sure won't be a GOTY nominee or will get 9's and 10's, but I personally still can have fun with a 7 out of 10 which where I see the game could be landing.

Because it is actually a decent game and is a lot of fun to play. The story is silly, as expected. Combat and movement are a ton of fun.

My only current complaint is the missions are a bit repetitive.
