I hope Rocksteady turns the disappointing launch around and Suicide Squad has decent success down the line.

I am a massive Suicide Squad fan, so I decided to get the game early, even though I normally stay away from Live-Service and Always-online games. The game is very entertaining in Cutscenes and the banter between the Squad is hilarious. That alone made me enjoy the Story experience very much and I feel like getting the game was worth it for me personally. There is sadly a lot of valid criticism around the game and Rocksteady has to release a much needed Patch soon to fix early issues and they need a very good Season 1 Content drop in March, or I don't think this game will have any long lasting success.

I understand everyone who either dismisses this game on the Live-Service aspect alone or waits on deep sales for this game. If this game wasn't so agressively designed as a live-service looter shooter, but as a single player shooter (maybe with Multiplayer added later on?) with the same story, it would have been a bigger success.

There is fun to be had in the game and there is still potential for it to become great and ultimately successful, but it will take passion and commitment from WB and Rocksteady throughout the next year.

I’m honestly just gonna wait till it’s on GamePass in a year or so. Would love to play as a 9 hour ish Campaign with a lot of customization once the abandon the GaaS stuff.
