Good. I hope more forced live service games flop so execs will get it in their heads it's ok not to make a live service game and still make money from it.

I bought it out of morbid curiosity. I’m no fan of DC or played any of the Arkham games so I wasn’t very biased. I got about 15 hours of ok fun then you realize you do the same thing over and over again. They released Joker as a playable character but didn’t bother to unlock him due to having to do that same shit, over and over again. I regret spending $70 on this lol

Sounds a lot like Avengers, a good 10 hour campaign weighed down by grindy bullshit.
