What a shitshow of a game. Terrible vision, inexperienced developers and a clear lack of effort. All coming from Rocksteady, one of the most prestigious dev studios in the world. Sadly that is now not the case. The fact that a significantly smaller studio such as Crystal Dynamics could make a vastly better Superhero looter shooter is crazy. Lasted longer in terms of player retention, more successful, more content, more things to actually do. This game failed with everything just mentioned. And y'all can call me an Avengers shill, I really couldn't care less. But the numbers and facts dont lie. It was overall a better game in every aspect. Not a great game obviously but easily more accessible than this slop. It's time to move on from Rocksteady and leave them in the dust, both as a consumer and a player. They lost all the trust within their playerbase. Safe to say I'll never be buying one of their games again. And honestly, that's really difficult to say considering they made the Arkham series. But it is what it is. Life goes on in this absolute abomination of a year for gaming. Great video🤘
it's really not that complicated. use all the scarecrow gear in the scarecrow season. in other words... use the right tool for the right job. Imagine complaining a hammer is not a drill.
@@SicKno-i5r the game basically launched with a campaign that resembles a "linear, action, adventure, story driven, single player" game. There was very little live service elements until you reached the endgame. Blaming the games "anticlimactic launch" on live service elements, when they weren't even (prominently) present is hilarious. Especially when Helldivers is doing so well.
@@SicKno-i5r the game was advertised as a third person shooter. You can get through the entire base campaign with any weapon. Both the Arkham games and Suicide Squad require you to upgrade weapons and read through gadgets and menus to handle new side missions, endgame content, and challenges.
@@SicKno-i5r we've reached the point where your disagreements with the game are subjective rather than fact based. Arkham games had two mission types. Stealth and (direct) Combat. Suicide Squad has at least 2 mission types, search and rescue/retrieve and defend an objective (defeat waves of enemies). It appears limited mission variety only seems to matter when it's a third person shooter. You can get through most Arkham games without using most acquired gadgets or upgrades they're not mandatory. Suicide Squad has the same principle. Most of your criticisms and complaints about Suicide squad were present in Arkham games. Maybe, you just don't like the story from Suicide Squad and couldn't tolerate the rest.
@@SicKno-i5r lol the character's free and you get him by playing the missions. If they release a fifth season it looks like all of the battle pass content is free as well. But sure the microtransactions are excessive. If you're too lazy to figure things out on your own and too lazy to look things up on CZcams how you spend your money is your choice.
Rocksteady is essentially a new studio full of first time developers. The studio has potential, but not up to AAA standards in terms of actual net code, server management, and much more. I'm a fan of your content, so I'll be here no matter what you play, but I have been skipping most of the Suicide Squad content. It honestly just hurts my eyes/head to watch.
I see people say this but the founders left in early 2023. It was legit 2 people and for a game thats been in development for 9 years thats not that long. Sometimes even the best make a terrible product.
Yeah that’s true but the sad truth of gaming todays age is people are moving away from aaa games in fever of aa beacuse people feel like every time a aaa game releases its disappointing I’m not saying it’s true for every game but it seems to be the general thought process
Bro the fact we gotta earn joker on a dead game is just another way to say they want the servers to look active until everyone gets joker and Uninstalls.
I waited until other content creators spoke about the state of the game. This confirms SSKTJL is a dead-end. The day I couldn't get back into the game, was the day I gave up. I wanted to stay positive and hopeful, but that ran out. It has tremendous amounts of issues and this game will likely not survive a year. At first, we were under the impression we'll get all the new stuff free, instead they found loopholes to still make you pay and do unnecessary grinds to get the character you want. It's likely this company's suffering after the enormous returns in the past few months.
Who thought it was a good idea to make a character burn on certain hits and then turn around and give him harvester perks…. do they not know how their games works???? Plus forcing us to use poison is crazy. Why didn’t joker build off of poison then cause you know laughing gas and his flower acid. Like he is a mid character, cool but very lack luster. I swear they threw somethings together on his skill tree and thought it was cool. Also tying his purple tree cap stone to the squad ultimate is a joke 🤦🏼♂️ can we get diversity. I agree with everything you’re saying. I don’t understand what they’re planning. It would be great if they gave us insight or maybe transparency. I dunno if ill be back before deathstroke drops 😭
Yeah this was a point i wanted to bring up in my video, they really want him to use fire affliction that block shield harvesting, yet the whole season is designed around Poison and shield harvesting, that literally negates the whole thing. Not to mention the Lex upgrades you pick up that also gives you a diablo blaze aura...wtf.
No wonder they didnt give us more inventory space 😂😂 they want us to delete all bane gear. Next season modifiers are going to be poision and venom. Why do we get so little xp for the BP ?
Nailed a lot of great points. My biggest disappointment was finding out that I would have to play character(s) I'm not that interested in just to get to the Joker and then have to do all of this stuff on him and level him up. I was thinking I could've just logged in, did a quick story event/mission chain and unlocked him and then play him to level him up and push up ranks, etc. Like holy shit, what are these guys thinking? I'm already bored of the season and I'm only like Fear rank 20 something. But, hey, at least I'm able to actually progress the Fear rank.
You honestly brought up all of the problems I've had so far. I think i actually bursted out laughing when i saw the mutators and read "95% damage less if you dont have the new stuff" and "enemies cant get affected by last seasons bane craze". Like the devs preach about the creativity of builds and then just force you to use the same stuff by literally making everything else useless. It feels like such an artificial way of making you grind for the new gear.
Exactly lmao and it's just the tip of the iceberg with this game and it's many problems. Still don't have a stash. Can't scrap gear in rewards section. Servers are dogwater. The loop of endgame is terrible. You could go on and on with it. Which is a shame because, you know, actually playing the game is a lot of fun with it's mechanics and gunplay.
Imagine being a looters shooter and the moment new loot comes out all the old loot is made useless,that is a horrible design flaw and how no one saw that coming, yup they don't really care
they forced the playerbase to use firebuilds to go higher ranks.. nerfed burn because they wanted to give the players more freedom in builds.... season 1 starts and there is a mode where i have to use poison to even kill something. idk if im alone with that but is just a bad design. Why did i farm all the weapons from bane when i cant use them in the end and even get punished by using the baneset. Whats in the next season mr freezeweapons and enemys only die when i freeze them?? dont get me wrong people i grinded the living hell out of the game and it feels like senseless after season 1
It shows you that it doesn't matter what year it is, we can still get shit because of the devs or companies rushing the devs to make stuff that just didn't have time to finish
They are doing the minimum because they know this game will be dead in 6 months. They tried to go for a cash grab on this and it failed. Even if everyone bought the Joker, they would have only pocketed a little over 30-40 grand.
Much appreciated on your coverage of this DLC dude. I said in the other vid that I have had this uninstalled after putting 83hrs into the core game, and wouldn't install it again unless Season 1 gave us significant different missions after doing the same 6 or so missions over and over again in the core. It is mind boggling how much of a lack of creativity there is with the lack of mission design in this game and lack of overall quality beyond the gameplay, graphics, and facial animations. It's a shame because the gameplay is fun, but when there is barely anything fresh to do in the game, even with new DLC, it's such a waste. Game stays uninstalled unless they somehow "No Man's Sky" this game but I feel the lack of effort is not going to change.
Ikr it’s so sad because the gameplay is fun but the missions and everything is so bad , they can easily add raids and copy good stuff from other looter shooters like division and destiny
I'm one of the unlucky ones who bought joker, only to have him bug out to where I can't see any of his character models (in store, loudouts etc) and you can't play as him. If you try having him on your team while you play with someone else, you end up with 3 people and when you try to change to him, it says "unavailable". I was giving rock steady some grace and waiting till the start of the season to see how things turned out but I've come to the conclusion that this game is fucked. It's marvel avengers all over again. Such a waste of potential.
yeah, i've heard so many people with this bug, getting black screens trying to select him etc, then legit just playing a complete different character with the joker animations and move set...what on Earth.
Just to let everyone know, there is a bug with this patch that if you max out a character, there is a good chance you will still be missing a skill point. According to bug report site as well as reddit, it is happening to all characters but particularly with Joker since he is the character everyone is trying to max out now
I tried to give this game a 3rd shot buuuut once I loaded it and started playing I was instantly reminded of how boring it is. Not to mention my dumbass paid for Joker not knowing he was unlockable. lol Then I was reminded how low level my squad was when trying to play the "new missions". Its just not worth the grind to me.
How can you not grind endgame to make a build, then complain you was getting stomped in new content when it tells you thats what you need to do before you start? If its not for you thats fine but don't make problems out of your inability to read
@@iamthatguy6907 ...when did I say I was getting stomped? I stopped playing because the gamplay got boring not because it was difficult. Clearly you're the one incapable of reading.
This is only episode 1. Episode 2 is released mid season. The gear makes sense though, use Bane gear in Bane elseworld. Likewise in future elseworlds use that gear for that area.
Yeah. I played for about 1.5 hours and stopped, don't even want to play more to unlock Joker. I read all the mutators (one is enemies dont die unless poisoned, if i read it right)and thought to myself, "This is a JOKE, again they are forcing meta!!" that isn't fun. It takes way too long to lvl up imo especially with some team perks being infinite. They should've let us wreck havoc with leveling up and found a better way turning the tables but instead they are on roblox dev IQ.
welp...darn it. Hey Pix don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. Hahaha Maybe season 3 we can unlock multiplayer. Lol Thanks for the video and thoughts Pix.
Yeah, I am shocked they made all those hoops to unlock the Giggler (sorry, but I cannot, in good faith, call this character The Joker). Heck, Squeenix Avengers was also garbage, but at least when that game added characters, Squeenix Avengers didn't do that, as they actually allowed the characters to be playable once the update is installed).
I’m just worried all it’s guna be is new character every season behind a grind and literally replay just re skinned incursions to grind mastery levels, and that’s pretty much it it’s like is that al kweee guna do is grind mastery levels. It’s all good doing that but why like there needs to be like a reason to grind them, like maybe when you reach certain mastery’s you can enter a stronghold that offers higher rewards etc etc there’s no reason atm other then just getting a higher mastery level but like what for why am I doing this over and over and over again???
yep, exactly my point, who tf cares about leaderboards? There's literally no reason to grind up, most games you grind for a big raid, then you try and farm the best gear from it, so when the next expansion/raid comes along you can tackle that with a level/difficulty increase to get even better gear.
Exactly bro it’s like we’re doing all this stuff for no reason you’re just getting bigger mastery levels but then what, out of gaining higher mastery’s do I get to do anything?? Like there’s no incentive to want to, I play Diablo 4 and atleast with that endgame you have numerous things you can do with the gear you get etc etc. this game just gives you no pay off to the grind your doing if you get what I’m saying bro.
Forgot about Inventory management I'm surprised there's no stash box in this game I think the season is a step up from the base game but the game does have some problems
I like this game, I definitely defended it during all the ruckus at launch. But man am I disappointed in season 1. The Joker character feels great. But having to play all the new content before being able to play as him, And after that just being bored to play the game because you did all the content. And the battle pass disappoints as well, no characters for boomerang. I feel bad for all the mains of him. Season 1 really feels as a knife in the back.
I believe they label the stronghold missions as ones like the big cannon, or escorting the truck. Thats the only thing i can attribute them to. If you want a fun game to play for the channel, Granblue Fantasy Relink is quite good. It's not live service, but has fun mmo style boss fights.
I traded in for it (my local game store is really generous) and I still regret it. Was hoping this update would add some new missions or boss fights. Nope. Trash. I kind of don't want to trade it back in because then someone else might buy it and play it, and I don't like being cruel to people, even if I'll never meet them.
The lack of boss fights is absurd in a looter shooter, made all the missions just kill X amount of enemies and be done with it. It's very basic and needs some level of complexity added to it
@@ItzPixel absolutely. This was their chance to turn it around and they blew it. They promised new story. Nope. New missions? Nope. New boss fight? Nope, it's a recycled one. So what do you get? A new character to play (after grinding for 35 of the same 4 missions that everyone was already sick of), where you get to play the same 4 missions over and over again that you just did 35 times. This is literally the laziest game design I've ever seen.
@@ItzPixel seriously! Thanks for the video, great job. I know I won't be buying from WB again. I don't care if they make MK with Mr. Ash Williams himself going off on Freddy, Jason, Chucky, etc. F that company. Take care!
I just grind to get the character and then once I got him I was like where’s the rest of the season? The trailer was everything. No extra missions just a bunch of daddy issue audio logs. They have a great game and DC can have a glorious reboot or expansion on the DC universe with the game
Makes you wonder if they made the decision to sell Joker post launch to milk some extra cash out of players. It would make more sense to let you play the season with the new class straight out the gate. I don't mind a grind but something seems off about it 😕
This poor game!😔 They launched the base game, and the response was mostly negitive. I was hoping that they would learn from that and rework things to make things better,but MAN! cosplay Joker,some guns and some skins and Brainiac cosplaying as Green lantern is not going to be enough! I want the whole story and ALL the playable characters! 😡
My boy Arkham Batman really died for this that's just sad. My boy deserved better. But who knows maybe he's still alive. Hopefully when he comes back he slaps the shit out of Harley. But I doubt the Justice League will return the game is pretty much dead.
I really wanted to like this game. I was very hyped. It didn't have to be perfect, but they just made it so repetitive and pigeonhole you into playing how they want you to play. It just doesn't feel good. I'm going to give it a go today, but once Diablo S4 PTR goes live, I'm off to that. Appreciate your video, though. Thanks for the info, Chris! Have a good weekend!
Being forced into a meta or build is pathetic in a game like this and even though your forced to run it, it's for no reason other than to get higher at masterys for leaderboard clout.
@dfrentbreed You like the game, and that's great. I'm happy for you. However, the game has serious issues. It was unplayable for like two weeks, and now "free content" is being offered as "pay to play earlier." Diablo IV might not be the best, but seasons are free and are playable.
I’m sorry pixelz, I’m just in the same boat, I want to enjoy the game so bad but the devs just make it so hard to do so with the shitty decisions they make, I love the suicide squad and I find enjoyment in the game and it’s hard to stay positive with everyone around me giving up. I’m still looking forward to the builds you make with joker bc I personally still find him fun, I’m not trying to defend RS bc they really did shit the bucket, it’s just disheartening
I literally don't' know what to say at this point. It's like every game you have hope into making your channels "main game" falls apart in a month or 2(the only exception was Evil Dead: The Game) The only otehr exception was, painfully, DBD, and you don't need me to tell you that you should leave that game behind. I can't imagine how painful it must be to have such sh!t luck. You want to be positive on these games, you want to enjoy them, to make videos to put them in a good light, but everytime, something happens that completely ruins the experience and you have to make negative videos to warn others about how bad it's got in such a short time. At this point... I really don't think having a "main game" for the channel is possible, as they keep finding a way to flop.
Lol I start to think I'm the problem but then I look at the games I've covered and they've really not been great at all, think it happens when you choose a niche game like these that aren't massive appreciated, you get the views because less people are covering them and then the games go to shit
Season 1 isn't done yet. I thought it was broken down into two parts of content i find it weird people assume season 1 is over. I do have my ups and downs with the game, but the season so far is cool. The poison status is weird and should've been an affliction if anything
I had high hopes for this season sadly I was a bit disappointed im very sad that this is what has happened to a game I think has a lot of potential. For season 1 I was hoping for so much, idk why but I remember seeing that there would be new chapters for the game and I was expecting some missions for the joker and I was really excited to see how that would have played out…turns out no u just beat brainiac once again (tho this boss fight was more enjoyable in my opinion) and I was disappointed with the battle pass even tho I’m still kinda on the fence to buy it just for the Harley skin. They could have done so much more imagine a mission where joker like comes in and saves the squad somehow and then we get more of the best part of the game which is the story/banter between characters they could have done so much with Harley and joker but they did one cutscene where Harley has one line about him…….. I did laugh at the “put it in me” and even after the boss fight u could have some interesting missions where the squad can get more moments to shine but no… anyway I really hope they do something I will still play the game no matter what because I find the combat enjoyable and fun but I can’t help but hope for more
Copy-past missions from the Campine. The boring 35 rank to get the Joker repeating the same (easy) mission waist of time. The funny part is you get 50%+ of the new legendary items notorious and Tier 1 infamy sets while do it. There's nothing to farm for... there's no way to modify craft items in a cool way.. BORING game seriously! Making the bane set useless COMMON WTF!!! It's so bad. I'm so pist!
all i can say is holy sh*t, how do you fck up a game that was an easy license to print money with. Is this game making avengers look better? time frame wise I think avengers lasted longer (month count wise) before people finally gave up? every other video on you tube this morning is about how bad this season 1 dlc is, I dont even think rocksteady are capable of turning things around, they knew this had to be a big win and it sounds stupidly half arsed like they didnt even pay attention to what people were saying over the last month.
Also is the incursion map the same just joker things sprinked over it. If so that's a joke to no pun intended. Sad times. Outriders is better than this amd the end game grind in that was pure garbage
How is the season slop? If you dont like the core gameplay of a game thats ok, but what has been wrong with the season? I think they have done a good job at rhe paint job on metropolis, the music is awesome.. Joker (who they gave us for FREE) he is a lot of fun to play. Yapping about a game having downtime is strange, and also yapping about playing a game for a free character is scummy is just weird. Took me about an hour and a half of playtime to get him. Doing 6 incursions is nice, the new pvp/e gambit mode coming out will be a welcome change, and hopefully they can add more content moving forward. Games like this take time to build. Unfortunately it dropped with some problems so im sure they had to spend a lot of time fixing bugs and stuff instead of new content. Let them cook and warch the game grow. Again if you dont like the game cool dont play but saying a game or a season is slop without actual reason is just lazy. Also, seasons are seasons, stop crying you cant use craze this season m change it up, guess what, ypu can use it next season, god forbid you change your build up a bit. Negativity sells. I get it. Do you. Join the sheep
Yapping in a comment section with a whole essay is weird to me. But let me tell you, why should I be forced to pretend to like something in a game and if i don't i'm automatically "doing it for views". There's standards, this game don't have them in it's update, bare minimum effort, no quest line for the new character is lazy. Reskinning the old elseworld map is lazy. Nothing to exactly be hyped about. Sure, it's a fun game. I'm still playing it. But wow people like you take these things so personally it's unreal.
@ItzPixel I wouldn't consider about two paragraphs an essay but it's whatever. It's not that I take things so personal, it's just the internet is largely negative, and people seem to flock to what everyone else says. So it's jsut every comment, every youtube video, all the same it gets exhausting. I try to stay away from it but it is what it is. Don't mean to say you feel negative about it for views, I think in general msot people do blindly because of everyone else or foe karma or views. You don't come off that way to me, you seem like a good dude, I just let me frustration get the best of me, sorry mate. The game play for me is fun, I'm enjoying joker, I'll play until I get bored which and then move on and wait for the next update. I do agree though that they really do need to get creative abd add more content then just incursions and mastery rank. I would like to see more stuff do do on the open world because I really do feel like they did a good job creating metropolis. Maybe have some of the missions around the city randomly have special loot or XP bonus idk. Add apparel events like division 2 does. Something lol
Hate to say man I think you better off playing another looter shooter. Like borderlands 1 2 or 3 or if you what a live service looter shooter you better off playing destiny 2 just saying.
For me the season is okay, I expected a lot more and the game itself needs a lot more than they can give us rn I think. The skins on the BP are meh, the new else world is meh copy and paste most of the time, the strongholds are actually the new big canon "incursions" while I thought it's a real stronghold that you need to clear floor after floor and take it over. The season at this point was not worth any of the hype and I can't see how this has a future after season 4 if we didn't get a major endgame piece like a raid, dungeons or whatever. Joker is excellent tho he's a straight 10/10 gameplay wise and the new weapons are all very cool but what use are they to me when it's basically the same missions I played for hours on end in the preseason without any new missions where they are really useful
"bandwagon hate" from one of the very few CZcamsrs that actually supported this game and defended it pre and post launch. Know your facts before you spew nonsense at me. Also, toxic positivity is way worse than people who actually have genuine concerns for a game. Pretending like there's nothing wrong in season 1..if that were true then the game would be thriving.
@@ItzPixel yeah Virginia tree is broken, Danny can't tamper valve on any map, leatherface can't be door stun and server breaks if one family leaves n few more.
I'm really enjoying the game I don't care about the negativity around it is a lot of fun I've been with it since Rocky star a game always going to have is flaws you know
After playing, I can safely say that my opinion hasn't changed. They had all this time to cook up something great for season 1, literally had a whole month of nothing to prepare and the game is still ass. And that's not even including how bad the lag is even when playing alone. Just fumbled immediately
pix im with you i dont like joker either when i unlock him i was like wtf nahh i cant play with him and im not to positive about the weapons either i love the bane set too much with Harley Quinn shes goated.. theres no way im deleteing my bane set i cant I'd rather grind out season pass and thats it forceing people to use the new stuff is bull honestly
yeah too bad all your time grinding the bane weapons was just to be met with a "Venom Immunity" mutator in this Season, absolute wallops these developers are.
Hey pixel ...if you don't like it ..just move on ... In other words, I'm having no problem and there's a lot of people who are enjoying the new season so I guess it's not for you. also the game is running smoothly
You know how arrogant it is to say to someone to "just move on". Cool there's a few people enjoying the new season and it's definitely not running smoothly in multiplayer, plenty of evidence to back that up in this video, I don't want to play solo all the time just to have the game actually function...
Im actually having a great time with it. The game ran so much better and didn't bug out or get super laggy when playing with 2-3 others. Joker is hella fun to play as.. plenty of stuff to grind for until the mid season drop for the second episode for Two face.. im sorry it disappointed you pixelz. take care brother 🫡 🔥 and oh yeah those new anti-meta mods are pretty stupid lol 😆
It's fun to play for sure, just below par I would say, I'm still enjoying playing the game solo and grinding out some things but we definitely deserved more than what they've done

Safe to say I'll never be buying one of their games again. And honestly, that's really difficult to say considering they made the Arkham series. But it is what it is. Life goes on in this absolute abomination of a year for gaming.
Great video🤘
The sloppening is upon us right now. You should go watch the cutscene with Harley and Joker and their interaction together 🤣 absolutely terrible!
Why do they make this game so fucking complicated to just play and have fun
it's really not that complicated.
use all the scarecrow gear in the scarecrow season.
in other words... use the right tool for the right job.

Not to mention the Lex upgrades you pick up that also gives you a diablo blaze aura...wtf.
@@ItzPixelexactly
No wonder they didnt give us more inventory space 😂😂 they want us to delete all bane gear. Next season modifiers are going to be poision and venom. Why do we get so little xp for the BP ?
Nailed a lot of great points. My biggest disappointment was finding out that I would have to play character(s) I'm not that interested in just to get to the Joker and then have to do all of this stuff on him and level him up. I was thinking I could've just logged in, did a quick story event/mission chain and unlocked him and then play him to level him up and push up ranks, etc.
Like holy shit, what are these guys thinking? I'm already bored of the season and I'm only like Fear rank 20 something. But, hey, at least I'm able to actually progress the Fear rank.
Yeah you be thankful you can actually play the game you paid for over 2 months ago finally 🤣
MAY I HAVE MORE SLOP, DADDY ROCKSTEADY???
You honestly brought up all of the problems I've had so far. I think i actually bursted out laughing when i saw the mutators and read "95% damage less if you dont have the new stuff" and "enemies cant get affected by last seasons bane craze". Like the devs preach about the creativity of builds and then just force you to use the same stuff by literally making everything else useless. It feels like such an artificial way of making you grind for the new gear.
Exactly lmao and it's just the tip of the iceberg with this game and it's many problems.
Still don't have a stash. Can't scrap gear in rewards section. Servers are dogwater. The loop of endgame is terrible. You could go on and on with it. Which is a shame because, you know, actually playing the game is a lot of fun with it's mechanics and gunplay.
Imagine being a looters shooter and the moment new loot comes out all the old loot is made useless,that is a horrible design flaw and how no one saw that coming, yup they don't really care
Also not having enough room on your inventory to keep all the new sets
At this rate this game won’t even reach the 1 year mark. Pains me to say it because i genuinely like it
they forced the playerbase to use firebuilds to go higher ranks.. nerfed burn because they wanted to give the players more freedom in builds.... season 1 starts and there is a mode where i have to use poison to even kill something. idk if im alone with that but is just a bad design. Why did i farm all the weapons from bane when i cant use them in the end and even get punished by using the baneset. Whats in the next season mr freezeweapons and enemys only die when i freeze them?? dont get me wrong people i grinded the living hell out of the game and it feels like senseless after season 1
The fact joker killed his own suicide squad and had everyone worried was kinda funny😮
It shows you that it doesn't matter what year it is, we can still get shit because of the devs or companies rushing the devs to make stuff that just didn't have time to finish
Glad u finally realized how much of a dumpster fire the game is 😂
They are doing the minimum because they know this game will be dead in 6 months. They tried to go for a cash grab on this and it failed. Even if everyone bought the Joker, they would have only pocketed a little over 30-40 grand.
Much appreciated on your coverage of this DLC dude. I said in the other vid that I have had this uninstalled after putting 83hrs into the core game, and wouldn't install it again unless Season 1 gave us significant different missions after doing the same 6 or so missions over and over again in the core. It is mind boggling how much of a lack of creativity there is with the lack of mission design in this game and lack of overall quality beyond the gameplay, graphics, and facial animations.
It's a shame because the gameplay is fun, but when there is barely anything fresh to do in the game, even with new DLC, it's such a waste. Game stays uninstalled unless they somehow "No Man's Sky" this game but I feel the lack of effort is not going to change.
Ikr it’s so sad because the gameplay is fun but the missions and everything is so bad , they can easily add raids and copy good stuff from other looter shooters like division and destiny
Yep totally agree, it should be better, not only for the pricetag but Rocksteady should be so much better than this
Bro get this…. the strongholds are the bullshit generator incubator things (same missions) in the season 1 free roam 😅
Yeah figured as much, absolutely pathetic
What? Oh my god....
@@legendz411 bro exactly it’s hard to even notice isn’t it? I was baffled to say the least 😅
I wish I could get a refund 😢
16:14 - Because the Scarecrow gear gives players nearly 100% damage reduction and poison on (nearly) every hit (bullet, melee, etc).
I'm one of the unlucky ones who bought joker, only to have him bug out to where I can't see any of his character models (in store, loudouts etc) and you can't play as him. If you try having him on your team while you play with someone else, you end up with 3 people and when you try to change to him, it says "unavailable". I was giving rock steady some grace and waiting till the start of the season to see how things turned out but I've come to the conclusion that this game is fucked. It's marvel avengers all over again. Such a waste of potential.
yeah, i've heard so many people with this bug, getting black screens trying to select him etc, then legit just playing a complete different character with the joker animations and move set...what on Earth.
Damn, this game makes Marvel's Avengers look like Destiny.
Just to let everyone know, there is a bug with this patch that if you max out a character, there is a good chance you will still be missing a skill point. According to bug report site as well as reddit, it is happening to all characters but particularly with Joker since he is the character everyone is trying to max out now
w vid earned my sub
Welcome! :)
Joker is masking his insecurities!
I tried to give this game a 3rd shot buuuut once I loaded it and started playing I was instantly reminded of how boring it is. Not to mention my dumbass paid for Joker not knowing he was unlockable. lol Then I was reminded how low level my squad was when trying to play the "new missions". Its just not worth the grind to me.
How can you not grind endgame to make a build, then complain you was getting stomped in new content when it tells you thats what you need to do before you start? If its not for you thats fine but don't make problems out of your inability to read
@@iamthatguy6907 ...when did I say I was getting stomped? I stopped playing because the gamplay got boring not because it was difficult. Clearly you're the one incapable of reading.
@@D_89 then i was reminded of how low lvl my squad was...
@@iamthatguy6907 right. The mission is locked...where is the part we're I said I got stomped?
@@D_89 perhaps you should've said that in the first place and then i wouldn't have assumed you was getting stomped
Couldnt care less for the game. But, dropped you a like and a comment to help with the algorithm. Good luck on finding a new game bro
This is only episode 1. Episode 2 is released mid season.
The gear makes sense though, use Bane gear in Bane elseworld. Likewise in future elseworlds use that gear for that area.
Yeah. I played for about 1.5 hours and stopped, don't even want to play more to unlock Joker. I read all the mutators (one is enemies dont die unless poisoned, if i read it right)and thought to myself, "This is a JOKE, again they are forcing meta!!" that isn't fun. It takes way too long to lvl up imo especially with some team perks being infinite. They should've let us wreck havoc with leveling up and found a better way turning the tables but instead they are on roblox dev IQ.
This is only part 1 of the season giving you time to gear up ready for part 2
welp...darn it. Hey Pix don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. Hahaha Maybe season 3 we can unlock multiplayer. Lol Thanks for the video and thoughts Pix.
Dang and I was just trying to defend this game…haven’t got to the season 1 content just yet but man it’s disappointing
Yeah, I am shocked they made all those hoops to unlock the Giggler (sorry, but I cannot, in good faith, call this character The Joker). Heck, Squeenix Avengers was also garbage, but at least when that game added characters, Squeenix Avengers didn't do that, as they actually allowed the characters to be playable once the update is installed).
I’m just worried all it’s guna be is new character every season behind a grind and literally replay just re skinned incursions to grind mastery levels, and that’s pretty much it it’s like is that al kweee guna do is grind mastery levels. It’s all good doing that but why like there needs to be like a reason to grind them, like maybe when you reach certain mastery’s you can enter a stronghold that offers higher rewards etc etc there’s no reason atm other then just getting a higher mastery level but like what for why am I doing this over and over and over again???
yep, exactly my point, who tf cares about leaderboards? There's literally no reason to grind up, most games you grind for a big raid, then you try and farm the best gear from it, so when the next expansion/raid comes along you can tackle that with a level/difficulty increase to get even better gear.
Exactly bro it’s like we’re doing all this stuff for no reason you’re just getting bigger mastery levels but then what, out of gaining higher mastery’s do I get to do anything?? Like there’s no incentive to want to, I play Diablo 4 and atleast with that endgame you have numerous things you can do with the gear you get etc etc. this game just gives you no pay off to the grind your doing if you get what I’m saying bro.
I have autism so i struggle with stuff as it is but all the different sub systems in the game make it so confusin
have you done anything else beside shooting enemies in the season? like something interactive or fun?
Nope, tbh destroying the big turrets is a fun mission
Forgot about Inventory management I'm surprised there's no stash box in this game I think the season is a step up from the base game but the game does have some problems
There's no point of doing masteries like that play the content come back in a few months no matter what the Masters are going to reset every season
I like this game, I definitely defended it during all the ruckus at launch. But man am I disappointed in season 1. The Joker character feels great. But having to play all the new content before being able to play as him, And after that just being bored to play the game because you did all the content. And the battle pass disappoints as well, no characters for boomerang. I feel bad for all the mains of him. Season 1 really feels as a knife in the back.
I believe they label the stronghold missions as ones like the big cannon, or escorting the truck. Thats the only thing i can attribute them to.
If you want a fun game to play for the channel, Granblue Fantasy Relink is quite good. It's not live service, but has fun mmo style boss fights.
If that is the stronghold missions then that is a huge L lmao
I traded in for it (my local game store is really generous) and I still regret it. Was hoping this update would add some new missions or boss fights. Nope. Trash. I kind of don't want to trade it back in because then someone else might buy it and play it, and I don't like being cruel to people, even if I'll never meet them.
The lack of boss fights is absurd in a looter shooter, made all the missions just kill X amount of enemies and be done with it. It's very basic and needs some level of complexity added to it
@@ItzPixel absolutely. This was their chance to turn it around and they blew it. They promised new story. Nope. New missions? Nope. New boss fight? Nope, it's a recycled one. So what do you get? A new character to play (after grinding for 35 of the same 4 missions that everyone was already sick of), where you get to play the same 4 missions over and over again that you just did 35 times. This is literally the laziest game design I've ever seen.
And all of the environments for the missions are reskinned with the same layout 🤔🤣
@@ItzPixel seriously! Thanks for the video, great job. I know I won't be buying from WB again. I don't care if they make MK with Mr. Ash Williams himself going off on Freddy, Jason, Chucky, etc. F that company. Take care!
I just grind to get the character and then once I got him I was like where’s the rest of the season? The trailer was everything. No extra missions just a bunch of daddy issue audio logs. They have a great game and DC can have a glorious reboot or expansion on the DC universe with the game
Well, at this point I'll just play the next upcoming characters that'll release and I'm looking forward to see what Nora would look like and play.
Makes you wonder if they made the decision to sell Joker post launch to milk some extra cash out of players. It would make more sense to let you play the season with the new class straight out the gate. I don't mind a grind but something seems off about it 😕
Especially since they didn't even mention it before
@@ItzPixel Exactly!
This poor game!😔
They launched the base game, and the response was mostly negitive.
I was hoping that they would learn from that and rework things to make things better,but MAN!
cosplay Joker,some guns and some skins and Brainiac cosplaying as Green lantern is not going to be enough!
I want the whole story and ALL the playable characters! 😡
5:50 I don't get it. In your new vid you lean heavy into the burn build but you're acknowledging here that burn isn't great...what's happening? lmao
Burn is just a cheap way to remove poison, it doesn't actually do any damage which makes it meh
My boy Arkham Batman really died for this that's just sad. My boy deserved better. But who knows maybe he's still alive. Hopefully when he comes back he slaps the shit out of Harley. But I doubt the Justice League will return the game is pretty much dead.
I really wanted to like this game. I was very hyped. It didn't have to be perfect, but they just made it so repetitive and pigeonhole you into playing how they want you to play. It just doesn't feel good. I'm going to give it a go today, but once Diablo S4 PTR goes live, I'm off to that. Appreciate your video, though. Thanks for the info, Chris! Have a good weekend!
Being forced into a meta or build is pathetic in a game like this and even though your forced to run it, it's for no reason other than to get higher at masterys for leaderboard clout.
@dfrentbreed Diablo IV has been bad for 2 out of 3 seasons, but season 4 looks way better than SSKTJL season 1.
@dfrentbreed I'm not here to shit on SSKTJL. It's just not my thing.
@dfrentbreed You like the game, and that's great. I'm happy for you. However, the game has serious issues. It was unplayable for like two weeks, and now "free content" is being offered as "pay to play earlier." Diablo IV might not be the best, but seasons are free and are playable.
You really going to sit there and say this game isn't bad at all?...yikes.
I’m sorry pixelz, I’m just in the same boat, I want to enjoy the game so bad but the devs just make it so hard to do so with the shitty decisions they make, I love the suicide squad and I find enjoyment in the game and it’s hard to stay positive with everyone around me giving up. I’m still looking forward to the builds you make with joker bc I personally still find him fun, I’m not trying to defend RS bc they really did shit the bucket, it’s just disheartening
Yep I enjoy playing the game too, it's just frustrating to see them make stupid mistakes to the playerbase
Anyone else’s items just not show up in inventory after claiming from the mailbox ? I had master mad hatter melee 😞
Yep, not getting some rewards from the Fear Rank either.
Yea the mutators are the killwr for me. Shouldnt be limited to a couple of builds which is boring
i was def expecting more cinematics to it was just bland 8 hours down for actaully nothing 😭😭
I knew this was coming after I saw what they done with season 1.
I literally don't' know what to say at this point.
It's like every game you have hope into making your channels "main game" falls apart in a month or 2(the only exception was Evil Dead: The Game)
The only otehr exception was, painfully, DBD, and you don't need me to tell you that you should leave that game behind.
I can't imagine how painful it must be to have such sh!t luck. You want to be positive on these games, you want to enjoy them, to make videos to put them in a good light, but everytime, something happens that completely ruins the experience and you have to make negative videos to warn others about how bad it's got in such a short time.
At this point... I really don't think having a "main game" for the channel is possible, as they keep finding a way to flop.
Lol I start to think I'm the problem but then I look at the games I've covered and they've really not been great at all, think it happens when you choose a niche game like these that aren't massive appreciated, you get the views because less people are covering them and then the games go to shit
Season 1 isn't done yet. I thought it was broken down into two parts of content i find it weird people assume season 1 is over. I do have my ups and downs with the game, but the season so far is cool. The poison status is weird and should've been an affliction if anything
Damn, you’re squad level 237 ? Was it even worth it ?
Gamora: what did it cost
Thanos: Everything...
Lmao but it was mainly from farming with the XP glitch back in the day
@@ItzPixel lol. I have all of the xp skills to the max and yet, I hardly see any difference. It’s a real grind and not the good kind.
yeah and now the credit farming is really tedious, enemies should drop credits too not just rewards from doing missions/killing cargonauts on the map
I had high hopes for this season sadly I was a bit disappointed im very sad that this is what has happened to a game I think has a lot of potential. For season 1 I was hoping for so much, idk why but I remember seeing that there would be new chapters for the game and I was expecting some missions for the joker and I was really excited to see how that would have played out…turns out no u just beat brainiac once again (tho this boss fight was more enjoyable in my opinion) and I was disappointed with the battle pass even tho I’m still kinda on the fence to buy it just for the Harley skin. They could have done so much more imagine a mission where joker like comes in and saves the squad somehow and then we get more of the best part of the game which is the story/banter between characters they could have done so much with Harley and joker but they did one cutscene where Harley has one line about him…….. I did laugh at the “put it in me” and even after the boss fight u could have some interesting missions where the squad can get more moments to shine but no… anyway I really hope they do something I will still play the game no matter what because I find the combat enjoyable and fun but I can’t help but hope for more
yeah this seasons fucking trash
Copy-past missions from the Campine. The boring 35 rank to get the Joker repeating the same (easy) mission waist of time. The funny part is you get 50%+ of the new legendary items notorious and Tier 1 infamy sets while do it. There's nothing to farm for... there's no way to modify craft items in a cool way.. BORING game seriously! Making the bane set useless COMMON WTF!!! It's so bad. I'm so pist!
I feel like it a curse bro picking a game you might play Alots but it had died tho
Is southpark snow day worth playing?
Just a cheap fun game tbh, it's very short though
all i can say is holy sh*t, how do you fck up a game that was an easy license to print money with. Is this game making avengers look better? time frame wise I think avengers lasted longer (month count wise) before people finally gave up? every other video on you tube this morning is about how bad this season 1 dlc is, I dont even think rocksteady are capable of turning things around, they knew this had to be a big win and it sounds stupidly half arsed like they didnt even pay attention to what people were saying over the last month.
also what a let down week, south park too short, TCM dlc (its TCM nuff said), SS season 1 a shit show.. worst era of gaming so far...
The sloppening is upon us lad
100% a RIP to this game moment. This won't bring players back its over.
Also is the incursion map the same just joker things sprinked over it. If so that's a joke to no pun intended. Sad times. Outriders is better than this amd the end game grind in that was pure garbage
@@STE3ANHAY1988yeah totally forgot to mention that lmao it is literally the same map with some Joker theme slapped on the structures
@ItzPixel well hopefully you find another game to do content. I think you will still have a decent audience for builds though.
This game sounds to me like a quick money grab.
It took me five hours to get to level 35
How is the season slop? If you dont like the core gameplay of a game thats ok, but what has been wrong with the season? I think they have done a good job at rhe paint job on metropolis, the music is awesome.. Joker (who they gave us for FREE) he is a lot of fun to play.
Yapping about a game having downtime is strange, and also yapping about playing a game for a free character is scummy is just weird. Took me about an hour and a half of playtime to get him.
Doing 6 incursions is nice, the new pvp/e gambit mode coming out will be a welcome change, and hopefully they can add more content moving forward. Games like this take time to build. Unfortunately it dropped with some problems so im sure they had to spend a lot of time fixing bugs and stuff instead of new content. Let them cook and warch the game grow. Again if you dont like the game cool dont play but saying a game or a season is slop without actual reason is just lazy.
Also, seasons are seasons, stop crying you cant use craze this season m change it up, guess what, ypu can use it next season, god forbid you change your build up a bit.
Negativity sells. I get it. Do you. Join the sheep
Yapping in a comment section with a whole essay is weird to me.
But let me tell you, why should I be forced to pretend to like something in a game and if i don't i'm automatically "doing it for views".
There's standards, this game don't have them in it's update, bare minimum effort, no quest line for the new character is lazy. Reskinning the old elseworld map is lazy. Nothing to exactly be hyped about.
Sure, it's a fun game. I'm still playing it. But wow people like you take these things so personally it's unreal.
@ItzPixel I wouldn't consider about two paragraphs an essay but it's whatever. It's not that I take things so personal, it's just the internet is largely negative, and people seem to flock to what everyone else says. So it's jsut every comment, every youtube video, all the same it gets exhausting. I try to stay away from it but it is what it is. Don't mean to say you feel negative about it for views, I think in general msot people do blindly because of everyone else or foe karma or views. You don't come off that way to me, you seem like a good dude, I just let me frustration get the best of me, sorry mate. The game play for me is fun, I'm enjoying joker, I'll play until I get bored which and then move on and wait for the next update. I do agree though that they really do need to get creative abd add more content then just incursions and mastery rank. I would like to see more stuff do do on the open world because I really do feel like they did a good job creating metropolis. Maybe have some of the missions around the city randomly have special loot or XP bonus idk. Add apparel events like division 2 does. Something lol
im not really suprised
Do we know if they are adding the strongholds later?
Hate to say man I think you better off playing another looter shooter. Like borderlands 1 2 or 3 or if you what a live service looter shooter you better off playing destiny 2 just saying.
waiting for First Descendant to drop ngl
So when is Nightmare Brainiac coming out?
Didn't TCM just get a new map?
Yeah heard the map was really big
Give us team death match or free for all game mode
This game has always been a complete disaster - how are you just now realizing it 😂?
Can I get a refund I own it on the ps5 digital.
For me the season is okay, I expected a lot more and the game itself needs a lot more than they can give us rn I think. The skins on the BP are meh, the new else world is meh copy and paste most of the time, the strongholds are actually the new big canon "incursions" while I thought it's a real stronghold that you need to clear floor after floor and take it over. The season at this point was not worth any of the hype and I can't see how this has a future after season 4 if we didn't get a major endgame piece like a raid, dungeons or whatever. Joker is excellent tho he's a straight 10/10 gameplay wise and the new weapons are all very cool but what use are they to me when it's basically the same missions I played for hours on end in the preseason without any new missions where they are really useful
Nothjng wrong with season 1 at all. Just badwagon hate from a youtuber incapable of coming up with original content.
"bandwagon hate" from one of the very few CZcamsrs that actually supported this game and defended it pre and post launch. Know your facts before you spew nonsense at me.
Also, toxic positivity is way worse than people who actually have genuine concerns for a game. Pretending like there's nothing wrong in season 1..if that were true then the game would be thriving.
TCM update not any better
Apparently not from what I've heard lol
@@ItzPixel oh I meant is not any better. I fix it
@@ItzPixel yeah Virginia tree is broken, Danny can't tamper valve on any map, leatherface can't be door stun and server breaks if one family leaves n few more.
I'm really enjoying the game I don't care about the negativity around it is a lot of fun I've been with it since Rocky star a game always going to have is flaws you know
Facts!
It's about time you stop misleading people. Because well....... IT WAS OBVIOUS!
My game still won't open lol 😂 I'm playing on PS5
After playing, I can safely say that my opinion hasn't changed. They had all this time to cook up something great for season 1, literally had a whole month of nothing to prepare and the game is still ass. And that's not even including how bad the lag is even when playing alone. Just fumbled immediately
Maybe the game will actually work when Deathstroke comes out?
pix im with you i dont like joker either when i unlock him i was like wtf nahh i cant play with him and im not to positive about the weapons either i love the bane set too much with Harley Quinn shes goated.. theres no way im deleteing my bane set i cant I'd rather grind out season pass and thats it forceing people to use the new stuff is bull honestly
yeah too bad all your time grinding the bane weapons was just to be met with a "Venom Immunity" mutator in this Season, absolute wallops these developers are.
You have to understand Rocksteady prioritized celebrating Women Day instead adding content to the game 😂😂😂
Hey pixel ...if you don't like it ..just move on ... In other words, I'm having no problem and there's a lot of people who are enjoying the new season so I guess it's not for you. also the game is running smoothly
You know how arrogant it is to say to someone to "just move on". Cool there's a few people enjoying the new season and it's definitely not running smoothly in multiplayer, plenty of evidence to back that up in this video, I don't want to play solo all the time just to have the game actually function...
Did you buy the game for him?
@@GKNOWBODIES exactly 😂😂
FedDonovan family's think he his a loser this game is trash you probably paid for the joker you goofy clown 🤡🤡it's not smooth at all
If you don’t like the video just move on
Im actually having a great time with it. The game ran so much better and didn't bug out or get super laggy when playing with 2-3 others. Joker is hella fun to play as.. plenty of stuff to grind for until the mid season drop for the second episode for Two face.. im sorry it disappointed you pixelz. take care brother 🫡 🔥 and oh yeah those new anti-meta mods are pretty stupid lol 😆
It's fun to play for sure, just below par I would say, I'm still enjoying playing the game solo and grinding out some things but we definitely deserved more than what they've done
@@ItzPixel definitely understand that man. You know I'm just here for your content anyways no matter what you play. Thanks for being a cool guy.
Maybe killer klowns wont be a utter disappointment idk ... ¯\(ツ)_/¯
Lol, you have more hope then me, i have it pre-ordered though
Pixel join the helldivers. Loved your content from evil dead.
