  • There's been much controversy surrounding this game. As someone with all the faith in the world in Rocksteady, I gave the game an honest try. Unfortunately, it is a far cry from any of the highs that the Arkham trilogy and represents the greatest lows of live service gaming.

    We can now add rocksteady to the list of once great developers that died because of the live service genre alonside bioware with anthem, crystal dynamics with avengers, arkane austin with redfall, platinum games with babylons fall

    • @Pengun3
      @Pengun3 Před 5 měsíci +19

      Arkane Austin is quite literally just Arkane, you don't need to separate it, Arkane Lyon allowed the game to be published even if they didn't develop it, and didn't stop it from reaching release even despite multiple years of development. Though I also wouldn't say Arkane is dead, Redfall is really their first mistake.

      It's no longer rocksteady. Is a whole new studio in name only. Just like Redfall. These studios are being taken over by activists who rather change what came before to fit their beliefs. They believe they can actually change this stuff we love and grew up with by making it better with their idea of how these characters should be. Instead of honoring the characters they believe they can make em better with their version of it. Fire these people before they ruin everything. Stop being afraid to call them out. They hold no power over any of us. Call them out, don't buy their crap even on sale. Get them fired just like I would be if I done trash work for years on a project.

    I have heard an opinion from a game developer's rant video that, in the industry there's a trend where game consultants will always advice and push for game companies to make live service/Games as a Service (GaaS) games, because that's the one big thing of the future that makes the most money.
    If you think about it, chasing trends has always been a thing in the video game industry, very similar things happened before when MMO got the bust, or Battle Royal, or any other bust word new genre got heat. Nowadays it's simply that most games take many years to develop, that the results of "following the trend" comes out years after the concept was trending in the first place.
    What is unfortunately the case is that as video games get more and more expensive to develop both budget and time-wise, each project has to justify itself with ever higher profits projections, which led to most companies trying to achieve it with chasing the most theoretically profitable models possible, which is usually the big new trend of the time, be it MMO or Battle Royal, or now GaaS.

    I fully agree with your critiques on the combat. They really should've looked at MOBA games and DnD for inspiration when it comes to group-focused combat. There should be a tank (King Shark), a ranged "mage" that can do AOE damage (Boomerang), a hunter/sniper that does high single target damage (Deadshot), and rogue DPS, Harley. They should all have secondary classes for support and make the combat more challenging so support is actually needed. Deadshot can have a medpack, King Shark has regeneration (he has this in the comics ffs), Boomerang can have something Speedforce related for healing, and Harley can have a motivational party buff like a bard.

      Honestly, I think we are actually seeing that in the rear view mirror. The live service model has already been dead for a very long time. I’d even say it began the nosedive when Destiny 2 launched bad, but you just saw this mass production because AAA followed a trend that was already dead. What is absolutely insane is how blind rocksteady were in even beginning this project when live service was already dead. BioWare scrapped pretty much the whole of Dreadwolf and made a handbrake turn to avoid this, Microsoft dumped Redfall early to get rid of it, and Naughty dog scrapped theirs completely. It beggars belief rocksteady didn’t read the clear and obvious signs.
      We are rapidly entering the age of the Indie and generous game. Baldurs gate, Pal world, Manor Lord, Dragons Dogma. I don’t think there’s a Micro transaction in sight. I’ve heard zero about FIFA or whatever the hell it’s called now, from the last I heard their sales are down. People got sick of starting their teams over. There is cause for hope of anything.

    The collective sheeple mindset that decided to hate this game and the effort to keep hating it based on nothing is truly amazing. Me tho I can't wait to buy and play this fun looking game

    This is just sad. Hopefully the new studio that was formed by the Rocksteady veterans can deliver something good.

    After the commercial failure of Avengers, why would DC allow both this and Gotham Knights be non single player centric games? Wouldn't you want to diversify your releases, especially if Rocksteady has a proven track record of success?

    Reminds me of a racing game with only 4 cars to drive and one track to drive on. I can see younger kids liking this game.

    Matty, you may be late to the party, but your opinion matters way more than your speed.
    I don’t care about the canon or Arkham Universe stuff at all, but I don’t begrudge those who do…..but the live service, terrible “missions”, and honestly the terrible choices in “humor” they chose sometimes are all just sad.

    I feel like I have to say something and take whatever lumps come my way. Imagine you are a lawyer and you have to prove, in a court of law, that SS:KTJL is a bad game. Well, to do that you are going to need an expert witness. Look I'm not trying to blow smoke or anything but I honestly feel like Matty could qualify as our expert witness. His entire career should stand as a testimony that he knows what he's talking about. So you put Matty on the stand and ask him: Is this a good game or a bad game? When he says it's not a good game you outwardly gotta stay cool, but inside you're breathing a tremendous sigh of relief. Then you ask him to tell the court why it's bad. He gives his list and you're kinda stunned. From your list of 100 bad things Matty doesn't pull anything from the top 50. Now you're suffering an existential crisis. He arrived at the conclusion you wanted but his methodology doesn't get anywhere near yours. So what do you do? You thank heaven for his honesty (and bravery in telling the truth), take your lowercase 'w', and move on with your day.

    My thing about Batman is he said he was proud to call Tim Nightwing but in Arkhamverse Divk Grayson is Nightwing? Plus he doesn’t have the same look as Arkham Batman so are they in a alternate universe?

      I think he was talking to Tim and said he was proud to call Tim , Nightwing and oracle his friends.

    Hey, that was the Anthem videogame music playing in the background, wasn't it? Fitting choice for this video imo.

    It's so annoying when people say "bad guys are more interesting" to who? All that does to me is show where you are Spiritually.
