Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has finally arrived in Early Access, and despite a couple of necessary offline moments and a fair share of pre-release skepticism, the game manages to hold its own. However, even though the game is aptly titled Kill the Justice League (complete with corresponding trophies), it appears that certain fans are genuinely disappointed by Rocksteady’s decision to pursue this particular premise.

The way the developer has chosen to conclude certain characters is what’s causing the dissatisfaction, but we won’t spoil the details for you here. Warning: Some spoilers ahead for Suicide Squad. Prepare to take on the challenge of defeating the formidable Justice League!

In Kill the Justice League, players are tasked with eliminating specific members during gameplay, but only those who have fallen under the influence of supervillain Brainiac. The Flash, Green Lantern, Superman, and Batman. The final installment of the game has sparked controversy among fans, particularly regarding the demise of the world’s greatest detective. Some fans believe that this portrayal was a disservice to the esteemed Kevin Conroy. For those who are curious, IGN has the scene in question.

In 2022, Conroy sadly passed away, leaving behind a performance that many consider to be the ultimate portrayal of the character. He lent his voice to the Dark Knight in the critically acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series. Of particular relevance to our focus, Conroy lent his voice to Batman in Rocksteady’s Arkham series of games, with Suicide Squad being a spin-off. Everyone has their own perspective, but Rocksteady has the creative freedom to shape their story as they see fit.

IGN has confirmed that Kill the Justice League is not Conroy’s last portrayal of Batman. Fans can look forward to seeing him in the upcoming animated series Bruce Timm’s Batman: Caped Crusader and the animated film Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part Three, both of which are currently in production. Initial reactions were driven by that claim, which has proven to be false.

It’s quite intriguing to see Rocksteady’s bold approach in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The game certainly lives up to its promises, leaving no room for surprises. Did the developers fail to do justice to any specific character? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.

Street Fighter 6, the highly anticipated brawler from Capcom, is set to receive significant balance adjustments coinciding with the arrival of Akuma on May 22nd. The trailer above offers a glimpse of the latest updates, highlighting the introduction of an exciting new wakeup drive reversal mechanic. This provides players with a valuable tool for countering combos, particularly in situations where they find themselves cornered on the screen.

The trailer showcases a plethora of fresh combat options for almost every character, hinting at potential nerfs to balance out the buffs that are being showcased. It’s safe to say that not everyone will be pleased with the changes, especially if beloved characters are being toned down. However, we’ll have to wait for the response from the competitive community to truly gauge the impact.

The release of Akuma will mark the end of the first season of content for the game, and fans can anticipate an announcement regarding the second season in the coming summer months.

Helldivers are angry at Arrowhead because the community manager was fired without due process

Throughout history, it has become evident that, in the face of tyranny, those who cherish liberty and democracy will stop at nothing to defend them. They will fight relentlessly, using every last round of ammunition and shedding the final drop of blood. In a stunning turn of events, it appears that developer Arrowhead is facing a potential revolution, as previously loyal Helldivers 2 players who once supported the developer are now expressing their outrage. They passionately advocate for justice and the inclusion of the undemocratically dismissed community manager, who has affectionately been nicknamed “General” Spitz, into the official in-game lore.

In typical fashion, an overnight Change.org petition (courtesy of RPS) has garnered nearly 4,500 signatures at the time of writing. This is an attempt to make Arrowhead reevaluate their decision to let go of Spitz, a community manager who has been an integral part of the community since the game’s release. In the midst of the PC/PSN account linking debacle, Spitz, like a game critic sensing the winds of fate, rallied the community on Discord (as seen on Twitter) to express their discontent through reviews, refunds, and other means. It enhances our influence in the discussions with Sony. They completely disregard our discord.

After the chaos subsided the following day (yesterday), Spitz addressed the community, describing this action as “almost.” It hasn’t exactly resulted in their termination. Shortly after, a final transmission was confirmed where Spitz disclosed that they had been released, expressing their resilience by saying, “Every war has its casualties.”

On May 7, 2024, around 11:45 PST, the Helldivers Discord community made an interesting discovery. It seems that the community manager, Spitz, had been unexpectedly removed from his position, and any evidence of his previous involvement in the discord was completely wiped out. This incident seems to have ignited a revolution, with Helldivers demanding the immediate reinstatement of Spitz and his immortalization in the game for his self-sacrifice.

“We strongly advocate for the official canonization of General Spitz in Helldivers lore. Embracing the spirit of liberation. Supporting democracy. For the betterment of the game and its devoted community.

It’s interesting to see how this situation unfolds. Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt himself commends the determination of players in the Sony showdown, but there seems to be a hint of contradiction here. “General” Spitz provided us with some thought-provoking words to ponder: “I was well aware of the potential consequences when I made my statement about refunding and altering reviews; nevertheless, I remain steadfast in my position. I fulfilled my role as a representative of the community, just as I was expected to.

Spitz is no longer the Community Manager.
