Episode three of the Dead Game Podcast is devoted to Suicide Squad, the fun but much beleaguered loot shooter by the makers of Batman: Arkham. This week I’m joined by Kotaku’s Zack Zwiezen and Jake Steinberg, formerly of GameXplain, to break down what we love and hate about the latest attempt to make a licensed live service multiplayer game. The second half of the discussion focuses on the conversation around the game, how reviews are treating it, what fans are angry about it, and whether Warner Bros. made things worse by how it marketed the game.
We also checked in on last week’s PlayStation State of Play with our “winning” and “losing” scorecards for Stellar Blade, Death Stranding 2, and more.
You can send questions, comments, feedback, hate mail, and suggestions for future guests to deadgame@substack.com.
