      Kind of agree. You can’t actually finish the story without a stupid amount of grinding. The side quests are awful, with 4 or 5 different types of quests that all essentially boil down to area denial.

      The gameplay loop sort of mimics doom eternal in that you’re rewarded and heavily encouraged to use your entire arsenal.
      Unfortunately it’s a poor imitation that boils down to punch dude to knock up into a critable state then spray and pray. And use your abilities/grenades on cd.

      Main storyline isn’t bad imo, it just sucks that a lot of the ending is hidden behind hours and hours of running the same 3 missions to level up your mastery.

      If you really like DC shit and want to play a modern action game , you might get your $5 worth, otherwise ehhhhhh. How much is balatro? Lol

    You’d be lucky to get a side of fries for 3.50, but that’s still more than I’d spend on it.

    That’s kinda the thing with AAA releases, I’m on Linux, so… if your game sucks, I’m really not putting in the effort of making your trash launcher run. Not worth it, even for free.

    Now, I am open to bribes. I’ll play the game for a few hours for money.

      Quite a fair bit of money, like not having to work for at least a few months money…

    Makes me wonder why they wouldn’t have just set it to be free during the sale. This is the kind of game where monetization really depends on a large playerbase, right?
