Sodapoppin provides a polarizing opinion on the superhero genre of games

The Twitch sensation is an avid gamer who does not miss the opportunity to react to some of the most popular gaming conferences held throughout the year. So was the case during his August 25 livestream, as he dedicated the initial few hours to watching the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022.

After two hours of watching the event, it was finally time to learn what Gotham Knights had in store. Before the trailer started, Chance appeared skeptical and wanted to bet that the DC superhero game would be "bad."

As the story trailer began to play, the OTK co-owner remarked that despite having a large budget to work with, the superhero genre of games lacked passion. He stated:

"It just has a bunch of money behind it and zero passion!"

Fans present in the Twitch chat disagreed with the streamer's opinion and asked for his thoughts on Marvel's Spider-Man series. Despite his praise for Spider-Man, Sodapoppin claimed that "all the new" superhero games would fall short of expectations:

"'Spider-Man?' Spider-Man's... all the new ones are going to suck a**, though. Actually, no, Spider-Man might be good. All the ones coming from now, bad! Unless they pay me a bunch, I'll plan."

Chance's criticisms of the game were short-lived, as he later backtracked from his initial statements and asserted that Gotham Knights' environment and setting were similar to that of Arkham Knights':

"Hey, this might actually be good. It's got like an Arkham Knight feel to it, and that's a good game. F**k!"

The discussion on the topic came to an end when Sodapoppin added:

"I haven't seen a lot of gameplay yet. Okay."
