Recently, an intriguing sentiment of dissatisfaction has surged in the Suicide Squad gaming community, particularly about a certain Batman Bossfight. The complaint arose from user ArkhamsDeadite who criticised the plot twist for its convenience rather than its substance.
Summary
- Players feel the game’s writing prioritises plot convenience over sense or quality.
- There’s a sense of disbelief about Harley’s inexplicable knowledge of fear gas.
- Players are divided over whether Harley’s background in biochemistry adequately justifies her ability to make her own toxin.
- The Green Lantern reference seemed to not make sense to many users.
Harley’s Fear Gas Knowledge: Player Reactions
ArkhamDeadite voiced a question that appears to be on many players’ minds: “Harley magically knows how to make her own fear gas?”. To respond, user hillier explains that “she spent time with scarecrow in Arkham where he blabbed about his fear toxin.” Does this satisfy the players’ logical queries, or is it a mere convenient excuse for plot progression?
Green Lantern’s Misstep Defile
User Nyoteng brings an interesting point to the forefront: “The Green Lantern part completely off. The ring should have dipped out, you can’t just put on a Green Lantern ring.” Notwithstanding the controversy over Harley’s mysterious fear-gas knowledge, the Green Lantern segment left many players scratching their heads.
Grappling with Plot Contrivances
The constant battle between plot progression and logical sequencing is nothing new. Jimbobo-reckoning humorously yet pointedly suggests that “Gamers are ruining gaming.” However, there’s a consensus that quality shouldn’t be compromised for the sake of flashy plot twists. A refrain of resignation and sarcasm is seen in Player Old_Juggernaut_5114’s comment, “7 years of development and 9 month delay btw.” These comments raise a larger question – should we be more accepting of plot contrivances or continue to push for logical coherence from our favourite games?
The discussion here has shown that while Suicide Squad players are frustrated with the Batman Bossfight situation, their innovative ideas and humorous reactions demonstrate a deep passion for the game. The conversation continues and, as all good games do, it evolves, with each player input shaping the future of the gaming universe.
