It looks like Rocksteady fumbled its big opportunity to sell Suicide Squad: The Justice League this week, as the response to the release has been abysmal at best. A widely-shared Forbes Contributor op-ed ran with the headline that the PS5 game looks like “live service hell”, and frankly we’ve seen a similar sentiment all over social media.
Considering this is the next title from the award-winning – and, frankly, highly regarded – Batman: Arkham team, it’s a frightening fall from grace. Fans are absolutely aghast that the release requires an Internet connection even in single player, but perhaps worst of all, they can’t believe it’s following in the footsteps of the notorious flop Marvel’s Avengers – with a less recognisable cast.
