I watched Mauler play this a bit and the 'banter' just made me want to jam ice picks into my ears.
I'm afraid, Ut. I'm afraid that I'm just...

so yeah, watching mauler play, I hated pretty much everything about this.
Non-stop horribly written banter. both how annoying what they were saying was, and the constant talking. he'd be running around the city, from mission to mission, and they wouldn't stop talking. and they'd be talking SO much, they'd interrupt mission dialogue, or mission dialogue would cut in and interrupt banter, or one or both of those would interrupt Batman comms intercepts. just talking over talking over talking. the game won't ever shut up.
visual clutter. shields up? lets cover half the screen with a shield visual. lowhealth? lets cover the screen with blood viens. Tooltips telling you to do a slide? yep, that needs to be front and center on the screen nonstop for 5 hours. flying damage numbers. glowing targets, tooltips, tooltips, tooltips.
loot boxes! slow pointless cutscenes for loot boxes!
Script is awful. Waller is yet again written as retarded. Lets send the team in with no recon, no back up, no mission briefing, no intel. no plan. every means the team actually has for fighting back is 100% coincidence. Gizmo shows up to help, Ivy shows up to lend a hand. Luthor provides some help. flash saves the team in the opening TWICE. again, none of this is Waller's plan, its all on them luckly showing up to help.
shitty zoomer humor. Flash saves the team twice. Boomarang pisses on his corpse, after one of the worst boss battles ever. The justification for how the team can fight the flash is 100% retarded too. they don't actually counter the speed force in any reasonable way. and, they interrupt the boomarang pissing on the flash with ajoke about boomarangs giant cock.
Brainiac alone is a world ending threat. no one treats this as serious as it is. Brainiac that has ALREADY killed 90% of metroplis's population is an even bigger threat. Everyone should be shitballs serious. no one is. Brainiac that has killed 90% of metropolis, and has mind controlled the flash, batman and green lantern is a multiversal threat that should have everyone in full red alert, world war 3 mode. no one is taking it seriously.
the mind controlled super heroes are written completely out of character. its odd. they aren't written like themselves, but loyal to brainiac. they are written as generic asshole supervillians. like john stewart is an engineer, and soldier. evil john stewart should be very cold, calculating, and efficient in brutal murder. not flying around, talking shit, monologuing. Same with Batman. Barry is written like Ezra miller.

So I went to sleep last night with Gladd playing this and woke up this morning with him still streaming this and it’s like he was on the same damn mission. Enemies were the same… The backdrop was the same jumping from building roof to building roof in what looked to be like the same location. I mean it might as well be since everything looks the same. Where is the underground fights? Like in the sewers or some shit? Why can’t we have some missions inside some buildings? The more I see of this game the more meh it makes me feel.

So the story is dogshit, but what about us Chads that always skip the story anyways so they can get to killing?

If you are into mainlining a solid kill to time ratio, why are you even playing something with lore?
Unless we are talking Quality of kills vs overall kills.

From where I'm sitting the story on this game is another instance of reviewers trying to cash in on hate clicks over some manufactured/overblown dumb shit.
ACG lays it out here. TLDR: It is not a bad game or at the very least NOT deserving of the coverage its getting (shocker).
1:59:40 if the link doesn't work

I like Karak, but that bit about setting the bar too high makes about as much sense as the devs last year crying about people having "impossibly high" expectations after BG3.
I'm not surprised he is positive about it though. He's been far too kind to shitty games for a long time now. Hell, he even gave a good review to Avatar recently and that's one of the worst games Ubisoft has churned out.

It gets worse. In a journal entry supposed to be written by Lex Luthor he talks about toxic masculinity.
