A Warner Bros. rep telling outlets last year that Wonder Woman would not be a live-service game:
Wonder Woman is a single-player action-adventure game set in a dynamic open-world. This third person experience will allow players to become Diana of Themyscira and introduce an original story set in the DC Universe, while also featuring the Nemesis System. Wonder Woman is not being designed as a live service.
Gotham Knights players are saying:
- “…Gotham Knight is not a masterpiece like the Arkham series, but it is not so bad that you can’t stand it. …But the story. It’s like the worst possible thing ever.”
- “A lot of the negative reviews are comparing this to the Arkham series which is probably the main cause of its downfall on release and the reason it got so much hate.”
- “It’s a lovely game – beautiful slick graphics, simple but enjoyable gameplay, competent level design, fluid combat. I have no idea why so many reviews are negative.”
- “Give the person who made Batgirl’s character model a raise.”
