Genshin Impact does this and the amount of anger I feel everytime I wanna login without internet is insane. It’s essentially a single player game. I say essentially because it does have Co-Op but 98% of the time I play it’s by myself.
It's just not right, this is supposed to be modernization? This is what we are gonna be dealing with now? It's sad, this is just freaking sad, state of gaming you all
I hate that there’s no possible way the Suicide Squad could kill the Justice League so they had to weaken them which leads to anticlimactic scenes like “Flash is shot by a Bullet, Batman shot in head, Superman falls to ground”
@@cagethelonewolf what kind of criticism is that? I’m talking generally without the context of this game. It’s very anticlimactic that through all of Batman’s Tens of Thousands of adventures that he is killed by a bullet. It’s not like the Suicide Squad unleashed some secret epic power to defeat him. Anyone could have just shot Batman and killed him. Learn some proper grammar before debating.
@@ammad4394 I think it makes a great premise because it's this ultimate challenge. I think the game should have been made hilariously difficult to beat to an extent, with each fight being won by the skin of your teeth.
They used the Arkham-verse, but they gave Wonder Woman the send-off batman should've had. This game should've NEVER been attached to the Arkham series.
Exactly they should’ve had Batman going crazy trynna solo the whole league and die. Literally replace all wonder woman’s scenes and put Batman and the story makes way more sense
Even down to Harley on her knees as the site of her death, Morning her, as if she knew her, or even had a connection to her it just feels so ..... off.
@marcusthomas6749 I wouldnt be surprised if that was the original script. It's confirmed the woke writing contractor company Sweet Baby Inc. Worked on this game. They absolutely had a part in that disrespect for Batman and only respecting Wonder Woman. It would partially explain why the game took 8 years to come out too.
"There is no Anti-Batman device" Charlie - "A well placed round to the head is the anti-batman device" I've never wished Charlie had been wrong more in my life.
I just think, after all the bs we've seen in comics, the solution to killing a DC super hero should never be "just shoot em". Its fair to assume Batman has some bullet repelling device near him, so the first step should be taking that thing out. Of course, I think Batman should be killed in a melee fight since it'd be more poetic to his character.
@@user-cr6rg6nl7j "it's not that bad" still means it's bad... who are you to say what degree of bad is acceptable and allowed no criticisms? different levels of bad = different levels of outrage... we shouldn't be settling for ANYTHING BAD when you pay 70 dollars for it...
The biggest crime this game committed was not letting every hero die in a meaningful or spectacular way but instead every hero dies from just getting shot at for 5 minutes
Remember how a bunch of people were saying they were going to buy this game purely out of respect for Kevin Conroy? I’m sure they didn’t think it could possibly be this disrespectful
And her dialogue to Batman before shooting him Is just plain mean spirited. Holy shi Scare crow had much more respect to Batman in akrham knight in the death screens.
@@openperspective5423If it makes you feel better it's none of the original members involved in the first games. It's Rocksteady without the people who first got involved and made it Rocksteady. They left because they knew the direction the studio was heading, the shit games they were gonna make. And they were right, this might be one of the worst games they've ever made
I don’t get how rocksteady saw their success of their Batman games, and decided to not only kill him in a dumb way but also all of the other justice league members before they could even have their own games. People keep saying they’re coming back, but even so, it’s pretty dumb for this to be the justice league’s debut in the Arkham universe.
It's because this isn't the same Rocksteady that cared about the Arkham series. This is the new Rocksteady that actually couldn't care less about Batman or the Justice League and just wanted to write bad fan fiction.
100% agreed. That’s my biggest gripe with the game. It’s not that they died, but how and when. This was their first appearance, and they all died boringly and pathetically with no respect what so ever, no dignity. I would have genuinely liked to see them interact with one another before they were turned, see what they were actually like, relationships. Instead we got.. this. They really should resurrect them, or say this was a different just very similar universe in it that it shares the same past events, but this particular event went entirely different in the actual Arkhamverse. Alas, we will simply have to wait and see as to how Rocksteady will respond to the fan outcry over their, lets be honest, poor decision making.
The worst part is how they make it clear that this is indeed the same universe as the Arkham series. Basically telling us to our face: "YES, we are sh*tting on the franchise that you love". If this was just a completely different universe like many comics do, we could have at least had the past series untainted.
@@thefool8224yeah it’s not that bad, it’s so disconnected from the Arkhamverse it’s easy to treat it as it’s own thing. Gameplays great, story’s pretty good. Not discrediting the criticism but most of its out of game
@CatManOfTaste yeah idk I feel like every new live service shooter has good gameplay. But then forgot about in 6 months. Division 1 and 2, anthem, avengers, evolve, paragon. All of those games had little to nothing to keep the player coming back. Just flashy combat
Jesus fuck it is virtually impossible to see anything in this game when you're shooting at shit, which is a major problem in a game where you do almost nothing *BUT* shoot at shit.
The games not good, but you have to be actually visually impared to say something like that. Are you half blind on one eye? Ive seen enough gameplay to know that what you said is a straight up lie.
The amount of disrespect shown to every character that isn’t named Harley Quinn in this game is just simply unbelievable. Every JL member went out like a wimp and killing Batman like that should be a crime
@@YoJimBoHugabaJoeI Don't think deadshots race was disclosed for a long time, I wont be surprised if his first official appearance was black. However, green lantern being black is the weird case. The original green lantern literally has an ally green lantern that's black, so I just assumed it was that dude. Also, calling it blackface is incredibly racist.
@@dimyella quick google could’ve just shown immediately that the guy wasn’t black in his first appearance and he definitely was not black in the earlier Arkham games. The “canonical” reason they came up with is that the guy who Batman captured multiple times in the Arkham games was an “imposter”.
They should have had John Stewart be a Yellow Lantern at least it would make some sort of sense then. How a Green Lantern with no will can use a ring powered by will is beyond me. This is a game set in the DC universe they should know these things when making a DC game.
The fact that this story takes place in the Arkhamverse really makes this game so much worse. If it was its own universe entirely, it'd still fall short of Rocksteady's quality in storytelling, but it wouldn't be an insult to their legacy.
I like how creative and respectful the writers are with how they reinvented the characters. They made Waller, a tyrannical leader with humanity best interests at heart, into a whiny b*tch. Superman is now immune to Kryptonite. Green Lantern’s ring doesn’t immediately fly off to find a new user and are just tossed into the sea. Batman is now using guns and killing people ( But didn’t kill the Squad when he had the chance). Also I love how off putting the “heartfelt” tribute to Kevin Conroy was with how they treated his character, turning him into a joke. Imagine making fun of a character that carried your entire company for almost 20 years. If Rocksteady goes bankrupt after this, I hope they realize they deserve it
It's not even just that. It would've been fine if it were a more dignified death. The big issue is that it was super disrespectful. It was literally just the squad playing catch with him, then sitting him on a bench and executing him after a speech from Harley about how lame he is. And for that matter, the only one that had a decent death was Wonder Woman. Superman's was anticlimactic, Flash's was a joke, and Lantern's was embarrassing (had his corpse laying there with neon green underwear covered in his logo). It just all felt really unnecessarily mean spirited. They all went out with no dignity whatsoever.
@@firstnamelastnamesbAdd to that, this is supposed to be Arkham harley who tortured 14 year old robin nearly ro death just for being robin.. she would be even worse aftwr jokers death you would assume.. Instead they swapped the dark edgy harley for DCEU Harley from the movies, who is always being sarcastic and jokey instead of witty, creepy and threatening. Same with Deadshot and King Shark actually. They literally retconned the Akrham verse and replaced it with the DCEU.
I actually like how they killed Batman because the backlash is hilarious people are so mad about the story in some shitty suicide squad game that isn’t even worth playing
It should’ve been like Halo Reach’s Lone Wolf. “Objective: SURVIVE.” There is no beating Arkham Batman. They should’ve just had it so you stall for time until a heckin nuke hits or something. Same for Superman, for that matter.
I enjoyed the fact that Batman used the fear toxin because it's what he did in Arkam Knight so he could continue being Batman after faking his death But the execution of it was terrible this boss fight had so much potential to be really fucking great
Honestly, the only way they fix this in my opinion is 1. Make this game non canon and forget it 2. Fix it by saying all of the events in this game are just simulation to train the suicide squad
9 years. 9 whole years of waiting for a 5th Arkham game just for them to disrespectfully kill him with zero hesitation or emotional buildup. This is seriously how they want to end his legacy? Did they really expect this to be well-received?
Didn't they spend those 9 years also playing around with other heroes to continue the story? Then they let WB beat them to the punch with a shit game and shit story, and said "we could do worse."
The gameplay is so generic, the enemies are so generic, and "oh no, the server is down, guess i can't play my single player game" is a phrase that should NOT exist, but yet, here. we. are.
i feel so bad yet for the people who bought this game and at the same time more jealous of the people who enjoy games like these. I thought Spiderman ps4 was repetitive and while fun still a bit boring... this is just not even water. atleast water quenches your thirst. this just doesnt do ANYTHING for me, it just looks like number go up, color different than other colour, gun go shoot. I WISH I could enjoy shit like this coz that's literally the direction the AAA Industry's going just from looking at the sales of these games.
Spider-Man, despite being the average Sony movie game, had a compelling story that rivalled the films. This one feels like fanfiction on par with My Immortal.
1:14:00 Batman had an unbelievably dissapointing boss fight. I could think up a better one in the time it takes to complete that sequence. One that would still be simple enough for this caliber of game. Concept: Batman uses the fear toxin on Task Force X. It takes place in an Arkham-style stage (floor grates, vantage points, etc.) He then uses his stealth skills and cunning to attack them in a few ways. 1. There are up to three fake Batmans that can appear for each player, corresponding to their teammates. Shooting them damages a teammate. Players can appear as a fake Batman periodically as well as fully hallucinated Batmans. 2. Batman deals direct damage by throwing batarangs, laying mines, and CQC. 3. Batman can throw a smoke grenade(s) that teleports the players to different areas of the map, preventing them from staying back-to-back the entire fight and allowing Batman to threaten them one-on-one. 4. Batman can Stealth Takedown a player every so often. The takedown can be interrupted by allied players, but if it isn't, it downs the player who was grabbed. Thats it. Thats not even that complex. Especially for a $70 game that took so many years to make. That took me all of five minutes to come up with. Oh, and maybe throw some thematic goons in, I guess. Since this _is_ a GaaS looter shooter and all.
imagine if Brainiac took control of the suicide squad instead, the world would have ended for the justice league would be helpless against their bullets ability
I really liked the Flash in the game, he was actually quite funny, imagine a game where you play as the justice league and you get to know all of them and see there personallities and stuff like that, it would be SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER.
Its funny cuz in the agamimno contingency (which that that audiolog the squad fast forwarded was) he actually would have said conventional weapons do work
@@darianstarfrog Bulletproof things can still be penetrated by bullets; otherwise, no one would die in war because you'd just wear bullet proof everything and be... proofed from bullets.
I don't understand all the hate for this game. I've been playing it myself since the early access came online and me and my friend have loved it. The combat is better than it looks and when your not on your own it's so much more fun. The story isn't bad either. I'm so annoyed when everyone constantly shits on the game having not even given it a chance in the first place. When playing it yourself the game iss good. Combat can be boring but it's fun. When with others though it honestly is a very good game. Seriously. I'm at chapter 6 of the 7 and I've loved every moment.
@@Arthur_calahanhaving wonder women resist the evil shit isn't "woke" its just bad writing. I don't think that they had her be a Good guy just because she's a women, I think they made her survive the brainiac because fighting batman or greenlantern would be "funner"
Why would a murderous version of the Flash bother making a silly ineffective tornado when he can just blitz blitz every single member and rip their heart out (or worse)?
You guys are talking about Arkham Batman, yet I’m stuck on the sheer absurdity that Superman doesn’t die on contact having a giant piece of kryptonite pierce his sternum
That's what pisses me off the most too. And it's gets worse the more you think about it. Who's the one character that can realistically kill Superman? Wonder Woman. Give her a Kryptonite sword and shield and while it'd be a difficult fight for her, it'd make for an epic battle between 2 of DC's most popular and most powerful heroes. So they set this up, and he somehow breaks the Kryptonite on her shield which is bullcrap, but then she stabs him with Kryptonite. Now this at the VERY LEAST would SEVERELY weaken him until it's pulled out and he heals for days. Or, it should straight up kill him. What happens? He somehow still flies and uses laser vision and amplifies it to be so powerful that it kills Wonder Woman, and then he flies off while it's STILL IN HIM. She even says when she's dying that it should have killed him. Why even have Superman survive here? What's the reason? For a boss fight? Just have them both die here. Superman punches her through the chest and she uses the last of her strength to stab him. It could be super emotional as the mind control wears off because he's dying and he's like "Diana... what's happening?" and he's all scared while she comforts him and says that everything is going to be okay. They could die in each other's arms. It would have been heartbreaking and genuinely amazing. But no. I don't care what "lore reason" there is, it's total bullcrap. They wanted to kill Wonder Woman off which is fine, but there's no reason to have Superman survive and it makes her look like a joke.
Kryptonite isn't lethal to superman, that's what a lot of people don't understand. It weakens him, slowly, it makes him more vulnerable, but that's all, it's not a guarantee, and it's only a minor weakness, especially in modern day. In the majority of iterations, if he's serious, bloodlusted, as he is in this game, he can easily transcend the limitations of kryptonite.
@@Mushromeow In a lot of comics and instances it is lethal to him when it's stabbed into him. The insanely large majority of people think that. So they messed up.
Just want to be explicitly clear the devs aren't to blame here, they are doing a job, doing what they get paid to do. Obviously it's the higher ups that caused this trash.
At this point they should’ve mentioned that JL were zombified corpses controlled by Brainiac. Because there is no possibility that Batman had no plan to save himself and Superman being passive towards his comrades dying, or not flinching during Diana fight.
@@shinobipizza Batman: caped crusader allegedly I don’t think it’s been confirmed and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part 3. Which I believe is confirmed
Thank god for that. It would honestly be genuinely terrible if this was the last we ever see of Conroy’s Batman. Good to know he might get a proper ending instead of this!
I love that during the superman vs Wonderwoman cutscene, it's just 10 minutes of the suicide squad standing around watching when there are sharp pieces of Kryptonite XD What a dumb game.
I will say the imagery of the bloodied and beaten batman facing down the barrel without an ounce of fear goes hard. In a vacuum it looks cool. Then you have like, everything else about it
Imagine that picture you described just after a difficult and cool boss fight with a worthy person aiming the gun at him and a speech that shows respect to the Arkham series, then you've got an amazing scene. It's just a shame we got the complete opposite.
You're asking too much of developers. You think they would know that a revolver doesn't expel a casing after shooting it? Come on. This is AAA game quality my dude.
@@doesitmatter1670 What’s funny about that, is that they took time to animate that and script that. When even if it was a semi-auto handgun, they could have just not animated that and probably no one would have cared. It’s hilarious to me.
@@vulkeg Its not really too much to ask, to make a game about guns you need to do a have some knowledge about guns. Even indie artists do basic research just to draw a gun.
I like how the cutscene of the Flash killing Shark was so much more characterful than the death scene for every Justice League member. It wasn't just a ragdoll fall.
Worst thing that this game did was tie itself to the Arkham universe. Absolutely vile what they did with Kevin Conroys Batman, especially since Kevin himself is dead. You deserved much more Kevin. Rest in peace.
@@crackerlover9090 eh, true but he can at least choose his roles plus it's not as if a Voice actors can't read them before voicing them over. There are several examples of actors quitting after reading the script and story of something. I think the most famous we can think of is chef from south park. Idk, feels like the VAs are just there for the job sometimes. And I can't blame them, most roles don't pay well unless you're a big name like him or Hamill. Or the project itself is big. I still respect Kevin Conroy to death, but we can see people like Mark Hamill in his jacketed animosity of the way they took Luke in the Star wars Disney trilogy; that hate of both his role and the story at large when his NDA finally cleared too. I think these actors should take more pride in their work. Still, rest in peace Kevin Conroy, this didn't need to be a role he ever played in.
It’s the fact tht she gives Batman a moral speech, like we haven’t been these villains to stop them from committing more crimes, Harley in particular. You can hear a faint laugh in the background like the joker teeth in Asylum, but with Harley’s laugh instead. It feels more of an insult when you hear it
@@buffsniper fr, in Arkham City, in one of the first stealth mission, Batman literally stop Harley from killing cops on their knees. Like bruh you were doing much worse n weren’t under mind control.
Harley Quinn pole riding. Like she tries to kill so many people and she gets some faux deep speech about how Batman was the real problem. The same Batman who even stopped an actual genocide to save _criminals_ from dying needlessly while in prison, knowing they can serve their sentences and change. A guy who's saved people like that indiscriminately doesn't need a moral lecture from "let me send infected blood to hospitals" Harley.
batman would NEVER EVER leave a message for the news with his real identity and imply that the symbol of BATMAN is gone! his plan A is to pass on the cape and cowl in a seamless transition so that it appears as if he survived!
What baffles me about Batman's death is that his cowl is literally bullet proof/resistant. It has to be for him to survive like he does. "But it's point blank range!" Yes, which is something you do not want when it comes to trying to deal with someone who is trained in CQC. So many better ways to kill him.
Oh so it's not just me. This whole video seems to be kind of fucked for me, it keeps failing and I have to restart CZcams. Now the audio won't work on it. All other videos are fine...
Was hoping the characters would have story, and the protagonists defeat justice league members in unique ways. But no. It's just different colored bullets. No hand to hand fights. No bat family trying to defend Bruce. No kid flash helping out or being a side villain. They had an entire universe of lore to do absolutely anything with, and they chose to make a knockoff Destiny. It doesn't even make sense for some of them to rely on guns. These characters have fighting styles and abilities that never get used. It's literally just the devs using an established IP to sell a looter shooter. Can Deadshot even use his bullet ricochet ability in this game? Ya know, one of the central points of his entire character? They showed off the trailers in a way that played off of fans' expectations and anticipation. Superman slowly vaporizing that soldier. Flash catching bullets. Batman doing predator takedowns. But the gameplay is running in circles and holding down a trigger, avoiding area of effect attacks, until the next one-liner filled cutscene plays. Arkham trilogy it is not.
You're telling me that Lex fucking Luthor couldn't have found a way to undo the mind control? They had Batman on the medical table with all the right tools. Luthor even mentions doing a brain scan. But no, that'd be too hard, huh?
The absolute worst thing about this game is that its set in the Arkham Universe. It was most likely a decision to push units from Arkham Fans, but all it’s pushing is our hatred and disappointment. I hope they make like all comics do eventually and retcon this somehow.
They did this to a guy who died of cancer. Who actually authorized this pos game? They disrespected his character just to make a live service game? No wonder why everyone at rocksteady left. But there needs to be a name and shame for whoever actually ok'd this.
I heard the audio of Batman dying. Even my imagination gave a more respectful scene of his death than to see him lugged about and propped up and to die on a park bench
Remember when leaks said GTA6 was an unfinished pile of trash? Yeah, that was because it wasn't finished. How was anybody supposed to know the leaks were even current
@@spencermadisonmy issue with it is more that it's supposed to be the Arkham Batman we've gotten to know for 4 games previously. His death, for the journey this specific Batman has had, is incredibly unceremonious.
1:20:50 you know what I really hate about this moment? It's already anticlimactic to have batman die like just any other character, but that gap of her just standing there with the gun just makes it so much weirder like why is there a pause?
@@emem_nrd237 It just occured to me, this pause is the kind of thing a character does when the target has plot armor, but batman just dies in this game. Also I found out since then that this game is canon to a whole series of batman games so this isn't just an alternate universe where batman dies, this specific version of batman has had countless stories told about him with him at the center and they just had him get possessed and die like it's literally nothing. Imagine if the newest Zelda game had link die and treated it like this. Actually that would be somewhat forgivable because he reincarnates so that would just be one of his many lives. This is something they can't return from and it's already insulting without the context of other games.
She was the only one that wasn't turned evil. Not that it justifies anything, just that it's likely the reason they treated hers as a tragedy and just had the others go out in humiliating fashion (Flash, Lantern, Batman) or in a completely anticlimactic manner (Superman).
Even worse, if the rumors that the League will be brought back in some form are true, then the only Justice League member who actually died is...Wonder Woman.
To be honest, despite the title of the game, I'm not sure what Rocksteady was expecting would happen in terms of backlash when it comes to Batman's death. Even if the team thought the characters you play as would be very popular and liked, this is one of the most beloved characters in fiction who's part of the same continuity of several highly received games. The way his death is framed would be unsatisfying to many, and a surprisingly crude way to killing off a main character. It reminds me of how Johnny was killed by Trevor in GTA 5. That example actually feels frustrating in a similar manner to this game.
i think they couldve avoided all the backlash if they didnt tie it in with the arkham verse. it still wouldve sucked but atleast it wouldnt have felt like a slap in the face with batmans death
This is made all the stupider when you think about it. Tieing it into the Arkhamverse means that, via the Knightfall protocol, Bruce (and therefore Batman) are presumed dead. So you can dodge the issue of killing Batman by just... leaving him "dead" in canon. Or, ya know, do the smart thing. Bat helps the Suicide Squad, and manages to help save all the members of the JL, not kill them. I mean shit, how cool would it be if you're playing this game, and then you get contacted by the Arkham Knight, who starts helping you... and then much later, it's revealed that said Knight is now Bruce, using it as a cover for his cheating death. Like... WB is so braindead. And you know it's not really Rocksteady, given a bunch of staff left to do their own thing.
Wonder Woman's fight with Superman has to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. A tiny bit of kryptonite is enough to bring Superman to his knees. To make him vulnerable to basic weapons and attacks. HE LITERALLY PUNCHES IT. He turns it into dust and powder right in his own face. That should have DESTROYED him. Then he gets STABBED in the HEART by a piece, and it doesn't do anything?! It inly hurts him?! Actual scarlet brain rot writing. This game's writing is so terrible that it actually frustrates me. Anyone could write a better version of this story. Anyone. Yes, YOU reading this could do better.
Why is this happening? Why are we living in a time where for some reason people that hate the fanbases of the things they are working on are working on are somehow working on them? You've got the Halo tv show, Resident evil netflix, Modern marvel, DC, Star Wars, Rings of power, and many other once beloved and beautiful series that were enjoyable escapes from reality are all being smeared in shit.
There's a balance to making Harley just annoying enough to be a believable villain, but just enough _not_ annoying where you think she has a chance to be redeemed. This does not strike it.
This is Warner Brothers fault. Devs want to make good games, publishers only care for the money. WB set the deadlines, the monetization, etc. If you don't give enough time to the devs these are the things that will happen.
If anyone's wondering why this game came out like it was, is to keep the ESG score up. Search up Sweet Baby Inc. They worked on the story. And most of the people that worked on the Arkham games left before this game was even a thing. So it was the publisher's, and the story writing company's fault. The passion is gone in video games.
It would've been so easy to make this a legitimately interesting, possibly good game. Firstly, just don't make it in the Arkhamverse, which deals with a lot of character issues people have. And secondly, just make it a single-player Guardians-like game. Each-character getting moments to shine, side missions, more intimate character progression. Shark could've stayed as a Green Lantern if this was singleplayer, with all new abilities and attacks, giving every Squad character a mission dedicated to Batman's fear toxin and its influence etc. But live-service greed ruins a possibility for a neat, decent game. I mean there's some solid stuff here, Boomerang is actually somewhat charming, Shark is great, and Conroy's evil Batman performance is pretty intimidating. There's a truly solid singleplayer experience here, just swallowed by generic gameplay that's supposed to milk all the money it can.
This game was ok until they killed off Arkham Batman the way they did. Superman was right when he said “one of the worlds finest heroes, snuffed out by this”. Truly disgraceful.
Good news! This is NOT Kevin Conroy's last performance despite Rocksteady's lies. He will voice Batman in an animated series and as his BTAS version in Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3
Doing research into how this happened is astonishing too me. Actual self destruction of their main games that brought them fame. Harley executes Arkham Batman as she says menacingly now it’s our turn….. capsulizing how they hated Batman and the fucking man he was and the rest of the jl members except the one woman of course. They cared about her death, made a joke out of latern and PISSED ON THE FLASHES CORPSE. Wtf
yeah, and people will make the case that the fact the only character who got a respectable death was Wonder Woman is a pure coincidence and not because of her gender.
So facts, everytime I’ve peaked into Charlie’s streams during his play through of suicide squad it’s literally the EXACT same thing happening each time nothing different happens
I had this on in the background and every time I looked over, if it wasn't a cutscene, it was just Charlie shooting at the same shit. The gameplay has 0 variety.
They really take the evil outta the characters and leave that My Name Is Earl kinda anti hero vibes in them... I guess literally everything must be RELATABLE even evil supervillains. No risk, super safe game... borrrring. Also how have devs not learned that alway online play is terrible
This seems like the type of game you should get in like 5 years when its cheaper and has more stuff to do. Also in cutscenes with the flash he has all 5 fingers on both hands even though captain boomerang cut a finger off.
"is the server down so I can't play my single player game?" should not even be a formulated sentence let alone a legitimate question.

Its fair to assume Batman has some bullet repelling device near him, so the first step should be taking that thing out.

I don’t get how rocksteady saw their success of their Batman games, and decided to not only kill him in a dumb way but also all of the other justice league members before they could even have their own games.
People keep saying they’re coming back, but even so, it’s pretty dumb for this to be the justice league’s debut in the Arkham universe.
It's because this isn't the same Rocksteady that cared about the Arkham series. This is the new Rocksteady that actually couldn't care less about Batman or the Justice League and just wanted to write bad fan fiction.
100% agreed. That’s my biggest gripe with the game. It’s not that they died, but how and when. This was their first appearance, and they all died boringly and pathetically with no respect what so ever, no dignity. I would have genuinely liked to see them interact with one another before they were turned, see what they were actually like, relationships. Instead we got.. this. They really should resurrect them, or say this was a different just very similar universe in it that it shares the same past events, but this particular event went entirely different in the actual Arkhamverse. Alas, we will simply have to wait and see as to how Rocksteady will respond to the fan outcry over their, lets be honest, poor decision making.
They didn't. Warner Bros did. Compare Arkham Knight to Gotham Knights and it's clear where the dogshit game design choices came from.

If this was just a completely different universe like many comics do, we could have at least had the past series untainted.

The fact that this story takes place in the Arkhamverse really makes this game so much worse. If it was its own universe entirely, it'd still fall short of Rocksteady's quality in storytelling, but it wouldn't be an insult to their legacy.
It doesn't happen in the Arkhamverse. I mean, it does, but it doesn't.
@@lazyatbeinglazy13 they say it does, but that don't make it so 👊
I like how creative and respectful the writers are with how they reinvented the characters.
They made Waller, a tyrannical leader with humanity best interests at heart, into a whiny b*tch. Superman is now immune to Kryptonite. Green Lantern’s ring doesn’t immediately fly off to find a new user and are just tossed into the sea. Batman is now using guns and killing people ( But didn’t kill the Squad when he had the chance). Also I love how off putting the “heartfelt” tribute to Kevin Conroy was with how they treated his character, turning him into a joke.
Imagine making fun of a character that carried your entire company for almost 20 years. If Rocksteady goes bankrupt after this, I hope they realize they deserve it
Imagine ending the Batman that made your studio so important and popular while your most valuable employees leave the studio to make another studio.
It's not even just that. It would've been fine if it were a more dignified death.
The big issue is that it was super disrespectful. It was literally just the squad playing catch with him, then sitting him on a bench and executing him after a speech from Harley about how lame he is.
And for that matter, the only one that had a decent death was Wonder Woman. Superman's was anticlimactic, Flash's was a joke, and Lantern's was embarrassing (had his corpse laying there with neon green underwear covered in his logo).
It just all felt really unnecessarily mean spirited. They all went out with no dignity whatsoever.

It should’ve been like Halo Reach’s Lone Wolf. “Objective: SURVIVE.”
There is no beating Arkham Batman. They should’ve just had it so you stall for time until a heckin nuke hits or something.
Same for Superman, for that matter.
Yeah its real lazy for them to do the scarecrow fight instead if a more creative difficult fight
I enjoyed the fact that Batman used the fear toxin because it's what he did in Arkam Knight so he could continue being Batman after faking his death
But the execution of it was terrible this boss fight had so much potential to be really fucking great
Honestly, the only way they fix this in my opinion is
1. Make this game non canon and forget it
2. Fix it by saying all of the events in this game are just simulation to train the suicide squad
3. Kick the CEO out of his high horse and actually promote someone who CARES about the games.
4. Show that this was all an illusion from Scarecrow's fear toxin.
5. Batman tests an experimental batch of fear toxin
6.itS ALL An AlTernATe universE!11!!1
6. The justice league they killed was actually from earth 2, somehow.
9 years. 9 whole years of waiting for a 5th Arkham game just for them to disrespectfully kill him with zero hesitation or emotional buildup. This is seriously how they want to end his legacy? Did they really expect this to be well-received?
Didn't they spend those 9 years also playing around with other heroes to continue the story? Then they let WB beat them to the punch with a shit game and shit story, and said "we could do worse."

I thought Spiderman ps4 was repetitive and while fun still a bit boring... this is just not even water. atleast water quenches your thirst. this just doesnt do ANYTHING for me, it just looks like number go up, color different than other colour, gun go shoot.
I WISH I could enjoy shit like this coz that's literally the direction the AAA Industry's going just from looking at the sales of these games.
Spider-Man, despite being the average Sony movie game, had a compelling story that rivalled the films. This one feels like fanfiction on par with My Immortal.
1:14:00 Batman had an unbelievably dissapointing boss fight. I could think up a better one in the time it takes to complete that sequence. One that would still be simple enough for this caliber of game.
Concept: Batman uses the fear toxin on Task Force X. It takes place in an Arkham-style stage (floor grates, vantage points, etc.) He then uses his stealth skills and cunning to attack them in a few ways.
1. There are up to three fake Batmans that can appear for each player, corresponding to their teammates. Shooting them damages a teammate. Players can appear as a fake Batman periodically as well as fully hallucinated Batmans.
2. Batman deals direct damage by throwing batarangs, laying mines, and CQC.
3. Batman can throw a smoke grenade(s) that teleports the players to different areas of the map, preventing them from staying back-to-back the entire fight and allowing Batman to threaten them one-on-one.
4. Batman can Stealth Takedown a player every so often. The takedown can be interrupted by allied players, but if it isn't, it downs the player who was grabbed.
Thats it. Thats not even that complex. Especially for a $70 game that took so many years to make. That took me all of five minutes to come up with. Oh, and maybe throw some thematic goons in, I guess. Since this _is_ a GaaS looter shooter and all.
Wait hold on you are using your brain! Stop that lol

You guys are talking about Arkham Batman, yet I’m stuck on the sheer absurdity that Superman doesn’t die on contact having a giant piece of kryptonite pierce his sternum
That's what pisses me off the most too. And it's gets worse the more you think about it.
Who's the one character that can realistically kill Superman? Wonder Woman. Give her a Kryptonite sword and shield and while it'd be a difficult fight for her, it'd make for an epic battle between 2 of DC's most popular and most powerful heroes.
So they set this up, and he somehow breaks the Kryptonite on her shield which is bullcrap, but then she stabs him with Kryptonite. Now this at the VERY LEAST would SEVERELY weaken him until it's pulled out and he heals for days. Or, it should straight up kill him.
What happens? He somehow still flies and uses laser vision and amplifies it to be so powerful that it kills Wonder Woman, and then he flies off while it's STILL IN HIM. She even says when she's dying that it should have killed him.
Why even have Superman survive here? What's the reason? For a boss fight? Just have them both die here. Superman punches her through the chest and she uses the last of her strength to stab him. It could be super emotional as the mind control wears off because he's dying and he's like "Diana... what's happening?" and he's all scared while she comforts him and says that everything is going to be okay. They could die in each other's arms. It would have been heartbreaking and genuinely amazing. But no.
I don't care what "lore reason" there is, it's total bullcrap. They wanted to kill Wonder Woman off which is fine, but there's no reason to have Superman survive and it makes her look like a joke.
Kryptonite isn't lethal to superman, that's what a lot of people don't understand. It weakens him, slowly, it makes him more vulnerable, but that's all, it's not a guarantee, and it's only a minor weakness, especially in modern day. In the majority of iterations, if he's serious, bloodlusted, as he is in this game, he can easily transcend the limitations of kryptonite.
@@Mushromeow In a lot of comics and instances it is lethal to him when it's stabbed into him. The insanely large majority of people think that. So they messed up.

With guns. Lots of guns. Only guns. All of them with guns.
Was hoping the characters would have story, and the protagonists defeat justice league members in unique ways. But no. It's just different colored bullets. No hand to hand fights. No bat family trying to defend Bruce. No kid flash helping out or being a side villain. They had an entire universe of lore to do absolutely anything with, and they chose to make a knockoff Destiny. It doesn't even make sense for some of them to rely on guns. These characters have fighting styles and abilities that never get used. It's literally just the devs using an established IP to sell a looter shooter. Can Deadshot even use his bullet ricochet ability in this game? Ya know, one of the central points of his entire character?

But the gameplay is running in circles and holding down a trigger, avoiding area of effect attacks, until the next one-liner filled cutscene plays. Arkham trilogy it is not.
Its not even knockoff destiny, idk what this shit is lol.
"why do people hate always-online games?" 1:07. Literally just that.
Internet connection for a single player game seems like a sick joke to me lmaooo
You're telling me that Lex fucking Luthor couldn't have found a way to undo the mind control? They had Batman on the medical table with all the right tools. Luthor even mentions doing a brain scan. But no, that'd be too hard, huh?
Right? Like hes Lex Luthor.
The day the sentence, "Servers are down, guess I can't play this single-player." Was the day gaming shed a tear, and slowly started to die.
The absolute worst thing about this game is that its set in the Arkham Universe. It was most likely a decision to push units from Arkham Fans, but all it’s pushing is our hatred and disappointment. I hope they make like all comics do eventually and retcon this somehow.
it be a dream of batman or some shit
@@AlertROFLbatman wrote a fanfic and realized he is not a good author
They did this to a guy who died of cancer. Who actually authorized this pos game? They disrespected his character just to make a live service game? No wonder why everyone at rocksteady left. But there needs to be a name and shame for whoever actually ok'd this.
Retcons really don't happen that often. DC occasionally resets, Marvel has a continuous canon from the real world 1940's onward.
Remember when leaks said this would happen and then we were told those leaks were unreliable? Yeah....
My content is far superior than this youtuber + TYRANNY is better + who asked?
Those leaks were the reason why I didn’t buy or pre order this game. Feel bad for anyone who actually had hope for this trainwreck.
I heard the audio of Batman dying. Even my imagination gave a more respectful scene of his death than to see him lugged about and propped up and to die on a park bench
Remember when leaks said GTA6 was an unfinished pile of trash? Yeah, that was because it wasn't finished. How was anybody supposed to know the leaks were even current
@@krisw9526You got a point there
It seems so cluttered. Like there is so much going on on-screen all the time.
Kinda love how 90% of the cutscenes are quick pans to the squad just to see them react like😯
They killed Batman in a terrible way imo

@@spencermadisonmy issue with it is more that it's supposed to be the Arkham Batman we've gotten to know for 4 games previously. His death, for the journey this specific Batman has had, is incredibly unceremonious.
@@spencermadisonI don't think you know what that means
@@spencermadisonyou keep crying, pal
@@WolfyboiRTCT He doesn't seem like the intelligent kind
This is how it happened… this is how Rocksteady died.
You were there at the beginning, player. Now you get to see how it ends.
@@billbill6094 would have rather Batman died when that bomb at Ace Chemical went off in Arkham Knight. This STINKS!
1:20:50 you know what I really hate about this moment? It's already anticlimactic to have batman die like just any other character, but that gap of her just standing there with the gun just makes it so much weirder like why is there a pause?
It's a pause to let people digest the fact that a beloved game series is about to be dissrespectufly ruined.
@@emem_nrd237 It just occured to me, this pause is the kind of thing a character does when the target has plot armor, but batman just dies in this game.
Also I found out since then that this game is canon to a whole series of batman games so this isn't just an alternate universe where batman dies, this specific version of batman has had countless stories told about him with him at the center and they just had him get possessed and die like it's literally nothing.
Imagine if the newest Zelda game had link die and treated it like this. Actually that would be somewhat forgivable because he reincarnates so that would just be one of his many lives. This is something they can't return from and it's already insulting without the context of other games.
You ever think how dangerous Brainiac would be if he just turned the purple light bulbs off on all of his machines?
Tell me why only Wonder woman gets an honorable death and is the only one sent off with a proper somber score?
She was the only one that wasn't turned evil.
Not that it justifies anything, just that it's likely the reason they treated hers as a tragedy and just had the others go out in humiliating fashion (Flash, Lantern, Batman) or in a completely anticlimactic manner (Superman).
@@firstnamelastnamesb I hear you, but why piss on Flash, show Lantern in his boxers or show Batman killing in cold blood? I smell a rat.
Even worse, if the rumors that the League will be brought back in some form are true, then the only Justice League member who actually died is...Wonder Woman.
@@AlmightySammich the rumours are probably the multiverse BS for the planned seasons. Other versions of the JL.
Sexism
To be honest, despite the title of the game, I'm not sure what Rocksteady was expecting would happen in terms of backlash when it comes to Batman's death.
Even if the team thought the characters you play as would be very popular and liked, this is one of the most beloved characters in fiction who's part of the same continuity of several highly received games.
The way his death is framed would be unsatisfying to many, and a surprisingly crude way to killing off a main character. It reminds me of how Johnny was killed by Trevor in GTA 5. That example actually feels frustrating in a similar manner to this game.
Bro I feel you on Johnny's death. I almost stopped playing right in the beginning
i think they couldve avoided all the backlash if they didnt tie it in with the arkham verse. it still wouldve sucked but atleast it wouldnt have felt like a slap in the face with batmans death
This is made all the stupider when you think about it. Tieing it into the Arkhamverse means that, via the Knightfall protocol, Bruce (and therefore Batman) are presumed dead. So you can dodge the issue of killing Batman by just... leaving him "dead" in canon. Or, ya know, do the smart thing. Bat helps the Suicide Squad, and manages to help save all the members of the JL, not kill them. I mean shit, how cool would it be if you're playing this game, and then you get contacted by the Arkham Knight, who starts helping you... and then much later, it's revealed that said Knight is now Bruce, using it as a cover for his cheating death.
Like... WB is so braindead. And you know it's not really Rocksteady, given a bunch of staff left to do their own thing.
Wonder Woman's fight with Superman has to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. A tiny bit of kryptonite is enough to bring Superman to his knees. To make him vulnerable to basic weapons and attacks.
HE LITERALLY PUNCHES IT. He turns it into dust and powder right in his own face. That should have DESTROYED him.
Then he gets STABBED in the HEART by a piece, and it doesn't do anything?! It inly hurts him?! Actual scarlet brain rot writing.
This game's writing is so terrible that it actually frustrates me. Anyone could write a better version of this story. Anyone. Yes, YOU reading this could do better.
Why is this happening? Why are we living in a time where for some reason people that hate the fanbases of the things they are working on are working on are somehow working on them? You've got the Halo tv show, Resident evil netflix, Modern marvel, DC, Star Wars, Rings of power, and many other once beloved and beautiful series that were enjoyable escapes from reality are all being smeared in shit.

Rocksteady hasn't ever been the best at boss fights, but they really lowered their standards here
ironically the least fav arkham origins had sme great boss fights especially death stroke
You know it's bad when even Gotham Knights had better boss fights. Not a great game, but the bosses were at least fun to fight imo
True, but Mr freeze in city was a great fight
I have a feeling every player having to be connected to their servers at all times even when playing single player can’t be good for their servers…
There are 2 ways to write Harley Quinn
1. Not annoying
2. Annoying
And this game chose the latter.
There's a balance to making Harley just annoying enough to be a believable villain, but just enough _not_ annoying where you think she has a chance to be redeemed. This does not strike it.
@@billbill6094 pretty much.
The Suicide Squad Escorts Rocksteady out of the Gaming Industry
My content is far superior than this youtuber + TYRANNY is better + who asked?
The two main people who did the Arkham series left to start their own development company so maybe in a couple years we’ll have more bangers
Thanks WB!
@@riffhousestudios96thank The sweet baby Inc, baby!
This is Warner Brothers fault. Devs want to make good games, publishers only care for the money. WB set the deadlines, the monetization, etc. If you don't give enough time to the devs these are the things that will happen.
If anyone's wondering why this game came out like it was, is to keep the ESG score up. Search up Sweet Baby Inc. They worked on the story. And most of the people that worked on the Arkham games left before this game was even a thing. So it was the publisher's, and the story writing company's fault. The passion is gone in video games.
Aka rocksteady is dead, just a husk
Could you imagine after that, it just goes “tutorial completed” and you have to essentially complete 12 more games?
It would've been so easy to make this a legitimately interesting, possibly good game.
Firstly, just don't make it in the Arkhamverse, which deals with a lot of character issues people have. And secondly, just make it a single-player Guardians-like game. Each-character getting moments to shine, side missions, more intimate character progression.
Shark could've stayed as a Green Lantern if this was singleplayer, with all new abilities and attacks, giving every Squad character a mission dedicated to Batman's fear toxin and its influence etc.
But live-service greed ruins a possibility for a neat, decent game.
I mean there's some solid stuff here, Boomerang is actually somewhat charming, Shark is great, and Conroy's evil Batman performance is pretty intimidating. There's a truly solid singleplayer experience here, just swallowed by generic gameplay that's supposed to milk all the money it can.
It's like Sunset Overdrive with all the life sucked out of it. Not a bad game if it was like $30 and not tied to the Arkham series
Such an on-point comment.
"Suicide Squad game isn't great"
...
(One day later)
"Suicide Squad Game Just Got Way Worse"
This game was ok until they killed off Arkham Batman the way they did. Superman was right when he said “one of the worlds finest heroes, snuffed out by this”. Truly disgraceful.
The dialogue in this game genuinely, actually, hand to god, gives me a headache, especially toymaker
@1:34:12 Charlie going crazy at the end after back to back escort missions is too funny, but man it is sad to see what has become of Rocksteady
Soooo, after 3 excellent, popular games, Arkham Batman is dead to stroke Suicide Squad junkies' egos? Ok then.
The greatest trick ever was pretending to not hear angry Timmy Turner
That is definitely the most intrusive and awful "near death effect" I've ever seen in a game.. wow.
The disrespect to Arkham Batman is tough
Good news! This is NOT Kevin Conroy's last performance despite Rocksteady's lies. He will voice Batman in an animated series and as his BTAS version in Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3
How if he's dead?

I think all people refuse to agree that this is canon to the Arkham-verse
First Joel from TLOU, now Batman from the best superhero franchise ever made...I'm wondering who'll be next? Kratos?!
F** the feminist who ruined everything whatever they touch meh! they just fake DC fans who don't know about superheroes stuff.
@@SpringBlossomGames I agree that it was shit, but your comment is moronic
...You know Kratos has already died right?
@@SpringBlossomGames Not all bad writing is the mythical feminist enemy of yours. It's just capitalist greed.
Doing research into how this happened is astonishing too me. Actual self destruction of their main games that brought them fame. Harley executes Arkham Batman as she says menacingly now it’s our turn….. capsulizing how they hated Batman and the fucking man he was and the rest of the jl members except the one woman of course. They cared about her death, made a joke out of latern and PISSED ON THE FLASHES CORPSE. Wtf
yeah, and people will make the case that the fact the only character who got a respectable death was Wonder Woman is a pure coincidence and not because of her gender.

So facts, everytime I’ve peaked into Charlie’s streams during his play through of suicide squad it’s literally the EXACT same thing happening each time nothing different happens
The entire game is just shooting some zombies and doing some repetitive objective. It's completely awful.
I had this on in the background and every time I looked over, if it wasn't a cutscene, it was just Charlie shooting at the same shit. The gameplay has 0 variety.
They really take the evil outta the characters and leave that My Name Is Earl kinda anti hero vibes in them... I guess literally everything must be RELATABLE even evil supervillains. No risk, super safe game... borrrring. Also how have devs not learned that alway online play is terrible
This seems like the type of game you should get in like 5 years when its cheaper and has more stuff to do. Also in cutscenes with the flash he has all 5 fingers on both hands even though captain boomerang cut a finger off.
