This genuinely surprises me. After all the negative press, it still seemed to do well with gamers. I thought it may have actually been okay.
Arkham knight has consistently had higher concurrent daily players on steam than suicide squad after like, a week from launch, and that game is ten years old.
It didn't even reach Avengers numbers.
I dont know, Ive been seeing posts on 4chan on it all the time, and the user numbers playing it seems really pitiful for a game from Rocksteady. To the point where there was more people playing Arkham than they were playing this.
It did?
Have you seen the steam stats? Very few people played this game.
Yeah, I just remember reading steam reviews a few days after release and they were largely very positive. I was surprised.
I’m not trying to sell anyone on the game, I don’t own it, never played it, despise games as a live service.
I just remember all the negative reviews then seeing it seem to land fairly well with players who bought in. Could have been the investment principle and nothing else.
That's also because they deleted thousands of negative reviews. I think the numbers was like 7,400? 7.5? There's a review talking about it.
This is all anecdotal anyway but I know more people who played Anthem than SSKTJL
I loved Anthem...I wish they would bring it back.
I’m curious as to where you got that impression, I wasn’t sure if anyone even really played it
The current benchmark of “bad” is Golem or that other studio that immediately shut down after releasing their title that had something to do with zombie survival MMO.
