Destiny 2 players have admitted that the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League makes Bungie look “incredible” in comparison.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has had a bit of a rocky start. The anti-hero live service title saw issues that plagued the game’s paid early access, with much of the internet having mixed feelings about the entire title.
The game itself was already criticized for having a similar UI to Bungie’s Destiny 2, with the latter being one of the most prolific games as a service looter shooter available. Despite its popularity, Destiny 2 is still critiqued by fans, whether that be due to bad seasonal content or story plots feeling generic.
The launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has resulted in a newfound appreciation for the Destiny 2 developers, as players have begun to compare the two.

“Every time I come out really humbled on the other side realizing just how many questions and problems about how to make Live Service that Bungie tackled gracefully… I think that’s incredible.”
Other users chipped in with support of Bungie.
“Destiny is the only AAA live-service game that’s actually working, and it’s been doing that for 10 years. All other live-service games with this level of production have failed one way or another,” one user typed.
“Destiny was born different, no one else could just “make” a game like it no matter how hard they wished they could,” another agreed.
With the future of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League left in the hands of players, only time will tell if another game can come close to rivaling Bungie’s success. Though its initial player count doesn’t inspire confidence.
