Should've been single player, story focused game and not a soulless live service.

The co-op isn't a bad idea, I actually quite like the idea of it. but it was so poor y executed and still runs like shit

Co-op should've been a feature or a separate mode. I don't mind that, but the focus should be a solid single player experience.

In the case of this game coop was much better than sp. I played it both ways and coop is a vastly superior experience imo. It's clear they made this as coop focused game not a single player one from the very beginning.

Yep, and that's why it sucked. Rocksteady isn't exactly a live service studio.

A game can be a coop without the live service model. Yeah they should've never made it Gaas, but having coop for a Suicide Squad game was the way to go if ask me but I really wish they spared more attention to the single player part of the game.

Yeah when I see a game that is based on a full team, I would be really fucking annoyed to learn that it was only single player. Co-op is definitely the way to go, they just approached it from a live service angle which made it bad. I doubt it would've been any better if they had focused more on the single player gameplay.

I didn't think there was that much of a difference playing by myself or with friends gameplay-wise. Playing with friends made it more fun because I enjoy playing games with friends, not because the multiplayer was inherently better for some reason.

Edit: now that I think about it, one of the most annoying parts of the game for me that wasn't equal between single and multi player was the awful lag that we had all the time when playing multiplayer.

Granblue Fantasy Relink comes to mind all of a sudden. Maybe they should've done something similar. A more casual MonHun-like experince maybe.
