What I usually do is take easy allies and IGN review scores and average that out to what the game is score wise. Usually reviews help me out in picking my games.

stepee Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Turned off RT since it’s just reflections and while it looks nice it’s not noticeable enough compared to playing these multi story firefights at 100+ fps. Normally I don’t like to do so but the gain is too dramatic here. I’ can do the post game content later with RT back once framegen is in anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Also while the loot system doesn’t make sense to me yet I will say i really like how the skill system is done. Mainly, that strength, firepower, and traversal skills are separated so you don’t have to choose between which type to upgrade. I’m always going to drop my points as much as possible to anything traversal related so it’s nice being able to add some to the other types here.

stepee Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Boomerang’s traversal really is pretty damn good and impressive that it works as well as it does. Gotham Knights tried a similar mechanic and it didn’t work nearly as well. Though I guess that is the case with all the traversal types actually. To make that kind of instant zip feel good is quite something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Is it more GotG or Gotham Knights? I love GotG and hated Gotham Knights. Y’all are confusing the fuck out of me with these comparisons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y’all are confusing the fuck out of me with these comparisons I would say Gotham Knights. The character quality and dialog and cinematics are more GOTG but the gameplay loops is definitely more Gotham Knights. It plays a lot different than GK though, it plays a lot like Crackdown imo.

Yeah but like GOTG you always have your A.I. COntrolled teammates with you and they are constantly quipping and talking to each other like GOTG and it's VERY entertaining. Gotham Knights isn't like that. Unless you're playing co-op, you're playing solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Oof 5/10 Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Review - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a repetitive and bland looter-shooter that, despite an engaging story, never stays fun for long enough.

stepee Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 About what you’d expect. I have to say I was surprised when I saw the size and scale of the open world here - John is right that it is impressive they managed to get this going at all on UE4 but damn is it a shame that it had to be on that engine. Surely trying to squeeze this into UE4 was a big part of what took so long. Traversal stutter for everyone as is no surprise though I am impressed they got consoles hitting 60fps as much as they do, should be pretty good with vrr! I don’t really notice the shader comp he mentioned for pc, only the traversal stutter, but it’s possible I’ve played enough now I’ve compiled whatever shaders they missed, or just it’s that my cpu is a decent bit better. He’s definitely right that you just need to turn off the RT, that won’t be visible until either they or someone else patches frame gen in. Overall, better than I expected especially for the consoles but my performance expectations were very low! He also mentions that despite the repetition he is also enjoying the game as well! 13 hours ago, Spork3245 said: I’ll wait 6-ish weeks for it to be $30-40 on spring sales Should hopefully have a frame gen mod or something by then too!

The Dude Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Wish I cared even remotely about any of these characters, same with Gotham knights...

skillzdadirecta Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 So they next level above Legendary loot is Notorious. I guess there' one more above that as well. EDIT: This game really is hilarious... King Shark may be a Drax ripoff but he's got some GREAT lines. I wonder if some of the same writers worked on both games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up playing this game till two in the morning. The story is bonkers... story spoilers ahead. Spoiler So I killed the Flash, which prompts Boomer to whip his dick out and start pissing on him... apparently he's packing because the rest of the squad were pretty impressed prompting King Shark to say "It makes sense... the God's have clearly cursed you in other ways After that, killed Green Lantern which then prompted and extended sequence where the Squad has to protect a wounded Amanda Waller who is driving an Ice Cream Truck while Superman and Wonder Woman fight to the death overhead This game is crazier than Injustice... kudos to DC for letting Rocksteady play with their toys like this. I can TOTALLY see a lot of comic fans not being happy with this game and its treatment of some of the characters. I'm loving it though. The boss fights so far are ver creative and REALLY makes me want to see what Rocksteady could do with a proper JLA game. I did experience some pretty extreme slow down during one of the fights which wasn't surprising considering all of the crazy shit that was going on on screen but the game started to chug at old school SNES levels Didn't last long at all and besides the one crash I experienced the other day, those are the only technical bugs I experienced. Reviews be damned... pick this game up when its on sale if you don't want to pay full price... I STILL feel like the looter and Live service stuff is unnecessary and holds the game back but not to the extent of ruining the experience. Shame this game didn't stand a chance out the gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 lol I just got to the first part of your spoiler, so good I can’t wait to see where this all goes and Im curious with the live service stuff how much of the story will be left hanging. About to head to Vegas for the week tho so I won’t get to play until next week besides maybe some grinding on deck but I wouldn’t want to play any main story stuff there with how it runs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Vegas last summer for my birthday for the Spence/Crawford fight. Had one of the best steak's I've ever had in my life that weekend. I forget what restaurant it was... Delmonico's I think? How does this game run on the deck? Can't run well can it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
