Suicide Squad is testing the world's tolerance for bloated loot games, and I think I'm finally done with them after "Poison Ivy's iconic ice elemental fire axe"

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

It's been a week since all those Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League previews dropped, and I can't stop thinking about them. I wish it was because I was legitimately excited about the next project from the Arkham devs, but no. I'm obsessed with Suicide Squad because it looks almost like a self-parody in a gaming world that's growing increasingly overloaded with loot.

I've tried to get into loot games in the past - repeatedly, even. Every third Destiny 2 expansion has me going 'maybe this time it'll stick.' Heck, I even briefly got into Marvel's Avengers. But whatever gamer gene gives you the capacity to care about elemental damage boosts and stat buffs and build synergies just passed me right by. Every single one of these games fizzles out for me in the end because I just can't get wrapped up in item stats.
