WB Video games and Rocksteady’s on-line supervillain looter-shooter, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, obtained some new skins forward of the sport’s upcoming season 1 episode 2 replace. However the brand new skins haven’t gone over effectively with the sport’s remaining gamers who aren’t positive how for much longer they’ll maintain enjoying.
Launched in February to so-so critiques, Suicide Squad hasn’t had a terrific run. Even earlier than launch, many questioned why Rocksteady was making a giant, costly live-service shooter as an alternative of a brand new single-player DC-based motion recreation, just like the studio’s beforehand well-received Batman: Arkham video games. At launch, followers and critics complained concerning the recreation’s receptive missions, grind-y finish recreation, and on-line points. Suicide Squad’s large season 1 replace—which added the Joker and a few new content material—didn’t do a lot to show the sport round within the eyes of gamers. And now, because the second a part of the primary season lastly arrives, some new, ugly skins have confused and angered gamers.
On Might 22, Suicide Squad gamers noticed new beauty gadgets within the in-game retailer. The brand new skins are impressed by how The Joker appears through the finish of Arkham Asylum after ingesting the Titan compound and turning into an enormous, hideous monster. The brand new Suicide Squad skins characteristic uncovered bone, blood, and scars and don’t look nice! They do remind me that Arkham Ayslum’s ending was dangerous although…
Over on Reddit, Suicide Squad’s dwindling playerbase—which most days hovers round lower than 350 on Steam DB’s charts—was sad and irritated concerning the new “Titan” skins, calling them ugly, horrible, and dangerous.
Gamers additionally identified that the “new” skins gave the impression to be modified variations of beforehand current prison-themed skins, which didn’t assist make these Titan cosmetics any extra in style.
In the meantime, on the sport’s official Discord server, most gamers had been too busy yelling about how Suicide Squad is useless, dying, or quickly to be killed by WB Video games to spend a lot time complaining concerning the new skins, however the few feedback I did spot weren’t constructive. (Although some Joker mains appeared to love his particular model of the Titan pores and skin.)
It’s doable that on Might 23, when the subsequent half of the present season arrives—bringing with it new gear, missions, and skills—the playerbase will flip round on Suicide Squad and its numbers will skyrocket on consoles and PC. Nevertheless, that’s trying increasingly more uncertain because the few remaining gamers appear uninterested in the shortage of updates, the dangerous skins, and grinding endlessly for little reward. I’m undecided even Batman or Superman may save the day at this level.
