    I miss just being able to unlock shit just by beating the game
  • Multiversus' bold strategy: Follow a beta preview with an alpha release.
  • Between Suicide Squad, Arkham Shadows being a VR-only game, and MultiVersus bombing twice, it's a really bad time to be a DC fan. WB Games needs new upper management.
  • @Youngson113
    When F2P doesn't mean F2P, just sell the fucking game for an upfront cost. Your company won't die because you aren't pulling in fortnite and Roblox numbers. Not everyone can be in first place... Thats why it's first place.
  • @ScarletDream21
    Remember people WB wants to triple down on live service
  • I'm not going to do the Pheneas and Pherb meme, but this is infact the second game in this year where the joker takes an unreasonably long time to unlock.

    Edit: *Phineas and Ferb. Oops, my bad.
  • @goobybear792
    The game that had a battle pass in beta, had a 100 dollar version, and removed itself from steam and made it unplayable for people that paid money for it is egregiously monetized? No, it couldn’t be.
  • As a customer, i dont give a fuck what the reason is. No matter what the reason is, YOU are still charging money for it.
  • @KaiserAfini
    In the time it takes to unlock one character, you can easily complete a fully featured game.
  • @caliberccxvii
    Remember in Super Smash when you had to complete certain criteria to face a hidden character. The reward you would feel just accomplishing the steps, which weren’t too bad or long, and then going toe to toe with the comp to unlock the character. I miss those days.
  • @KnucleCh
    As someone playing the game right now, this stuff sucks.
    Like everything about this game feels made to get me to spend money rather than have fun.
  • Huh, they SOMEHOW made Street Fighter 5 look better on launch by comparison...
  • @blackfieId
    the weirdest phenomenon is when people actually defend a company as if they are their friend or something.
  • @pommybomber
    I had many people saying "oh it's free" when I pointed out how insane they are. But the worst thing I just realized is that if you wanted to play with local friends, you're going to have to work yourself to the bone just to make sure your friends can play the characters they wanted. At least in Smash bros playing with friends still worked towards unlocking characters!
  • @CrowMercury
    I remember when they announced Mark Hamil as the Joker, I though they couldn't possibly fuck it up again with all the time and the support they had.
    I forgot this is Warner Brothers. My bad.
  • @HeyLookImGerman
    This is 100% by design. It is more profitable to push out a half-baked game, load it with monetization, and then kill it because of "unpopularity" than a product that lasts years.
  • @eltonmj
    2-5 hours per character maximum for it to be fun for me. Anything higher than that loses my interest instantly simply because I'm a grown up and I have a life.
  • @Isaac-wu4hu
    Nickelodeon All star brawl 2 is starting to look real good in comparison.
  • I cannot describe how much I despise progression locked exclusively behind daily “tasks”.
    The way it forces you to play a specific way that you don’t want to, like playing a different character, is so infuriating.

    If I’m not having fun, why am I playing the game?
