The majority of commenters have a very negative attitude towards the developers, with many feeling betrayed. One user, kesh26, simply said, “I hate this game, it’s already failed.” This sentiment is shared widely in discussions. There’s a strong sense of anger and disappointment due to the developers no longer focusing on previous content, causing the game to lose its original appeal. Players are struggling to accept the current state of the game, resulting in angry outbursts and plans to quit. The removal of key features seems to have taken away the excitement of playing Suicide Squad, leading to comments that express a sense of resignation and sadness.

This news is part of an unusual sequence of events concerning the Western distribution of the trilogy on various platforms. Initially, it was announced that the three Neptunia games would be released in the West for Nintendo Switch in April 2024. However, a month later, the release was postponed indefinitely, and eventually, it was completely scrapped in December 2024. At that time, the publisher stated they had no intentions of localizing the PlayStation 4 version in the West.

Discussions on the Smite subreddit reveal a wide range of feelings about the game, with one common thread being concern about running out of new content – often described as feeling monotonous when not enough fresh updates are available. User AlfaMr commented that a combination of ‘running out of things to grind for’ and ‘content fatigue’ made them less interested in playing. They pointed out that even the new Wandering Market seemed easy to complete, which reduced the motivation to log in. Since the game relies on players continually striving for achievements and advancement, a lull can feel discouraging. Essentially, without exciting content and challenging elements, the initial draw of the game can fade rapidly.

The atmosphere concerning the lack of Nut in Smite 2 reflects a blend of anticipation and frustration within the game’s player base. Many fans view her as a squandered chance, particularly considering her distinctive skills and rich backstory, which could have added excitement to the gameplay. One user, SneakiestCris, voiced his disappointment over Nut’s debut timing, lamenting, “It’s unfortunate that the final and newest god we got in Smite 1 isn’t in Smite 2. We barely had time with her.” This sentiment echoes a broader feeling among players who desired to see Nut as part of the starting roster from the beginning. After all, gamers anticipate a novel experience with each sequel, so having Nut play a significant role would have amplified that sensation of newness.
