Suicide Squad Is Better (And Worse) Than You Think
<p>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 <em>Kotaku</em><a target="_blank" href="https://kotaku.com/author/zackzwiezen">’s Zack Zwiezen</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.patreon.com/JakeSteinberg">Jake Steinberg, formerly of GameXplain</a>, 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. </p><p>You can send questions, comments, feedback, hate mail, and suggestions for future guests to deadgame@substack.com.</p><p>The Dead Game Podcast is produced in association with the Dead Game newsletter, a weekly roundup of gaming news, analysis, and oddities published over at deadgame.substack.com. <a target="_blank" href="https://deadgame.substack.com/">Subscribe today</a>!</p><p><strong>Musical intro: "Jaza Balade" by Birocratic and G-Mills (</strong><a target="_blank" href="http://birocratic.lnk.to/allYL">http://birocratic.lnk.to/allYL</a><strong>)</strong><strong>Interludes: “Matlack” by Birocratic (</strong><a target="_blank" href="http://birocratic.lnk.to/allYL">http://birocratic.lnk.to/allYL</a><strong>)</strong><strong>Outro: "T-Me We-Me" by Birocratic and G-Mills (</strong><a target="_blank" href="http://birocratic.lnk.to/allYL">http://birocratic.lnk.to/allYL</a><strong>)</strong></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
