Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games. The game is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S on February 2, 2024.
Kill the Justice League is the fifth main installment in the Batman: Arkham series, taking place five years after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight, and the first not to feature Batman as the main protagonist, though the character still appears, posthumously voiced by Kevin Conroy in his final performance as Batman. Based on the DC Comics supervillain/anti-hero team the Suicide Squad, the game revolves around the titular team of super-criminals, who are assembled by Amanda Waller and sent to Metropolis to stop the alien invader Brainiac and save the members of the Justice League brainwashed by him.

HelloFresh treat their employees like garbage there are a news stores about it
Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker actually left Rocksteady because they didn't want their names to associated with this game.
@@midnightblues1907 was talking about HelloFresh
Hey Luke, I had hopes before the delay. Look if you are hurting for another player for content, I’d be willing to let you gift me a copy of this “Game” I have a ps5 and series X.
I’m a Canadian & a content creator as well. My offer is on the table.
Great luck bro.
BLUE , this game was the only thing I was waiting for for a ps5 I was actually saving up for it for years *then the zombie virus happened* I held out hope for it then they switched it to LIVE and I knew it was over
Bro the taunts for deadshot are so weird to me. Like what the hell do Graffiti on a Wall or Basketball have anything to do with deadshot? It feels racist almost
It IS racist, they are playing into tropes and the worst part is they changed him to match Will Smith's Deadshot. He is supposed to be a white dude but apparently that one was a fake... yeah.
@@fish5645 reminds me of what they did in Spider-Man 2 with Miles except a bit worse
lookup when marvel tried to do a black thor, its literally the same
@@beauregardheeryeah, but they didn't change Miles' face
I honestly don't mind a new desdshot that much, if only because the idea of a hero or a villain being a title that is taken by different people from time to time does happen in auperhero media.
I just felt it weird that the NEW Deadshot is somehow supposed to be the original and the old deadshot was some sort of impostor. It goes against established lore of the Arkham trilogy.
Also the taunts ARE racist. Deadshot is a master shooter, superhuman in skill, and they give him generic black guy stereotype taunts? Really?
The Suicide Squad didn't just kill the Justice League, they also killed the whole Arkham universe.
killed rocksteady and WB games
nah i’m not letting this game kill the arkham games for me
I bet/hope they will just " haha guys, it's not cannon".
There so good. :-)
HA GOTTEM
RockSteady choosing this over a futuristic 'Batman Beyond' game has to be one of the worst decisions in video game history 🤦
Holy shit! I just thought of that. That would be so cool!
@@lxsaglr8704So cool that Arkham Knight was so repetitive?
How many side missions you've done to get same missions when Penguin, Deathstroke and TwoFace appear?
How many times you did same Firefly chase?
@@SeriousDragonifya decent amount of times yeah, still Arkham Knight looks like a masterpiece compared to Suicide Squad
@@bigyoshi5170 Stop comparing to other game.
SS is a looter shooter.
You're avoiding to give proper answer.
@@SeriousDragonifywhat answer? You didn’t even ask a question lol. Yes knight was repetitive , personally I’m fine with it cause it was at the very least an enjoyable game. Squad was incredibly boring and had clunky gameplay that wasn’t satisfying.
I think it’s dumb to compare knight to squad since they’re different but squad should’ve done a better job at being a good and enjoyable game
In the US, automobile makers are subject to "The Lemon Law", which means car dealers cannot legally sell a non-functioning car without telling the consumer. Video game companies need to held to a similar legal standard, especially after hearing that some players payed $100 dollars for a broken game.
Agree with the sediment, but I gotta disagree with the idea it would be for games like Suicide Squad. The game is still functional, and it is fun at times. Just one that is repetitive as fuck.
No that would imply for games like the day before or even Gollum.
They should at least be held to that standard until the game is fully finished since it’s a live service to prevent Rocksteady and WB from pulling the plug on it early.
@@Killgore-ip2yqThis game being sediment is correct.
There are two industries where you have absolutely no obligations to the customer. And both call their customers "Users".
How is the game functional if there are still reports of people unable to launch the game or unable to log into it?@@Killgore-ip2yq
“I don’t know, do you wanna play Helldivers instead?” Based.
Hell yeah, let's spread democracy together.
Damn I wanna try that game so much, but the anticheat is sus af.
@@liesdamnlies3372 Anti Cheat ?
Real and true
@@hristoangelov9051democracy? I feel like hell divers is more about a 40k imperialism type more
All of the issues with Hollywood and games from the last decade stem from one major thing: not respecting the source material. The second is not respecting the customer.
More specifically, its : "Only caring about money, and the willingness to throw anything and everything under the bus in order to secure short term profits no matter what product/service you are selling"
and checking boxes.
It's truly baffling how often people will outright brag about not knowing or even straight up disliking the source material. Then, when their "improved" version inevitably flops it's all everybody else's fault. ... somehow
@@TwiggehTVI think this nails it way more. It’s greed. Disrespect for the source material is the least of this games problems. It seems like a fairly standard dc adaptation in terms of adapting the universe. This game and so many games are broken because they’re built on a foundation intended to extract as much money from the consumer as possible. They tried to go back on some of it but the bones are still there and they’re bad bones
well stated since the latter flows directly from the former
There's nothing more deflating than when you reach the final boss and the game says "Now you gotta fight him 13 more times."
100% it won't be like you're fighting a ' new ' boss everytime. They'll just re-skin fights of previous bosses
Thank You Mario, But Our Princess is in Another Castle
You have to fight him 12 more times (already fought him once if you finished it) IF you can, because incursions, the endgame content, can be locked until they actually fix it.
And the worst part? They drip feed those other 12 Braniacs once per few months in seasons.
How anyone can justify that, is beyond me.

And then Helldivers 2. I can only imagine idiot WB CEOs watching Helldivers open up more & more servers with hundreds of thousands of players are screaming “this was supposed to be us” thinking their terrible SSktJL “should be” successful
I think the biggest insult this whole time was shoehorning this into the Arkham series in the first place
The fact that they did that for sales is what hurt the game in the end
i dont disagree, but isnt the lemon law mainly done to save lives?
@@nathanielbeven9052hey bro you replied to the wrong comment but partially to save lives and partially to protect people from spending thousands and thousands of dollars on what is essentially a scam. Biggest difference between games and cars when it comes to “lemons” is the average person needs to take out a loan to buy a car and if that car doesn’t work they’re less likely to get to work and make the money back they took the loan for.
It doesn’t even make sense, wth does this have to do with Arkham?
@@nathanielbeven9052 Put the dope down and sleep it off, broseph.
"For life.'
"As long as your subscription is active."
Pick one Hello Fresh.
The game launched 22 days ago and the playerbase on Steam already dropped to under 1k players. It's amazing, they actually flopped even harder than Marvel's Avengers.
marvel and dc always trynna best eachother, even when it comes to making the worst performing games
Even sadder that Avengers gave them a perfect example of what not to do with more popular characters, and they went ahead with the idea anyways with a bunch of B-listers in the DC universe. The game failing was almost guaranteed.
...and movies@@I_Am_Wasabi_Man
"The game fell short of our expectations."
They had expectations? The entire internet had been screaming for the last year that the game looked like hot garbage and no one wanted it.
They were expecting Hogwarts levels of cash. How they thought wrong.
Warner Bro executives, or any executives I guess, tend to be out of touch, but they focus on numbers. To make a hypothetical, let's say a million people were shouting negative things about this upcoming game, but the Arkham brand had 10 million players; the executives are going to assume that the 9 million who didn't say anything at all will buy the game, because executives assume brand loyalty.
A lot of people are very happy with it. And most of you didnt even played the game...so... yeah, lets do what some news outlets say because...yeah JUST BECAUSE! I DONT NEED MY OWN OPIONION!!!!!! ;)
@@ledpowz Not enough to make WB happy though hey?
@@ledpowz less than 1k players
If the servers cant even handle the 800 players that are still playing how tf was the game supposed to work if it would have held up the expectations and had like 80k-100k players???? What were they thinking???
It's the payday 3 situation all over again, those servers were also barely handling the minimum amount of players and now the game today only has like about 200-300 players left it's basically dead at this point.
They weren't, They don't have the capability to do so.
Funny thing is SS on PS5 has 100k.
I've seen pic from someone.
Not sure if that's cross platform number but that's so low compared to Palwold, GTAO and HDivers 2.
they project player counts and rent store/compute/hosting/networking cost to said projection, if it deviates, they have outages or lose money. im not condoning it at all, just know, its due to penny-pinching greed
@@SeriousDragonifywhere are they getting ps5 numbers? Because on pc it’s under 1k
15:10 correction, it's the devs that make that make the studio. It's like saying "bungie is a talented company because they made halo". The people that did make Halo are long gone, same with rocksteady.
I’m just so shocked a game no one wanted, forcing players to play as D List Villains that kill & piss on our childhood Heroes is a catastrophic failure….
First of all I never cared for the flash. Second Harley is HARDLY D list.
@@KristyybugShe's overrated. Possibly the most overrated character of the last 10 years.
At least when one considers that nothing she is in is financially successful
@@matthewmosier8439she's still not a d lister
@@matthewmosier8439 just because you think she is overrated still doesnt make her a dlister
She is a B lister at best. A sidekick that can't carry anything herself. She is a gutted shell of the character she originally was when created for the Animated Series. Modern day Harley Quinn is a bad character.
With all these clowns playing, they won't even need to add the Joker in.
So true. XD
what do you expect them to do? they paid extra for deluxe, can't refund. Of course they are going to act like game is fun.
@@Whiteshade true but the writing was on the wall they deserve to get ripped off honestly, especially if they dont patch the game, they paid super deluxe for what? A buggy unfinished mess.
The game is fun what sucks is it a live service and all the hate around it@Whiteshade
Lol
You know the game is really really bad when your friends won't play it even if you offer to gave them for free.
They better pay me to play this bruh
Literally couldnt even give it away
got the game streamed it to my friends once and 2 of them got it to play w me 🤷🏻♂️ it’s fun for us but i get it’s not everyone’s cup of tea
@@apollyon24789I would say it's not most people's cup of tea honestly, but at least someone is enjoying it lol!!!
I would try it for free. Don't know if I'll get bored though.
I have no mercy for them at all. We told them EXACTLY what we wanted in a superhero game, and they completely ignored it thinking they would have a cash cow copying the other failed live service games and now they are going lose millions. Should've made a single player game like Arkham or Spiderman like people wanted to begin with.
And then they (WB) still have the audacity to proclaim that they don't "have an obligation" to make a single-player Superman game even after they announced that the vast majority of their DC games and movies are going to be tied-in.
They have access to some of the most iconic characters on Earth and they refuse to do anything of quality with them just because they're too stupid to see past the allure of short-term financial gain.
This video reminded me about that The Day Before review on Steam. "Well, the game is real. Kind of wish it wasn't".
Luke goes "Well, the game didn't crash. Kind of wish it did".
What do you expect from a clout chaser?
Love seeing these massive companies that don’t care about the source material or the fans fail so intensely.
Dude, the Rocksteady Batman games have *_never_* respected the source material. In BTAS, Harley didn't dress, talk, and act like a cheap [redacted by youtube], nor would The Joker ever impregnate her. He uses Harley and exploits her obsession with him to his advantage, but he'd never actually get with her.
Plus, Joker would NEVER inject himself with the Bane serum, Batman most definitely wouldn't run people over with the Batmobile, and Ra's Al Ghul *_definitely_* wouldn't commit Self Crit.
It's a bit silly to act like Rocksteady has only now betrayed the source material. You were just fine with it up until now.
@@WobblesandBeanstop trying to justify a shit story
@@carterb4 give them a break, it's all they can do is justify and deceive. There certainly aren't enough people buying/playing the pos to keep it running so they have to do SOMETHING with their time.

Worst part of this is that this will probably result in layoffs at WB, and none of the dumbass executives will lose a dime 🤬
then to make another shitty live service game to layoff more people. ah don't you love the modern media trend?
"New playable character"? It's just another character using the same guns
Yeah but you move differently. Duh
@@casual1118 and has a different voice
When fishing in runescape has more players then your AAA game......
I think more people are playing Nintendo 64’s than this game.
AAAA*
They're going to reveal a road map to try and recoup a playerbase, then cancel it prematurely because gamers just won't be assed. Just like Anthem and Avengers.
Haha history repeating itself. So true.
That's one thing I don't think people realize when a piece of media is genuinely bad.
No one WANTS to be the sour grape and say "Hey this is boring" but lying by accepting this is only gonna encourage less and less from media companies, in this case a game studio, while also expecting us to pay more.
I never minded being the sour grape.
Funny reminder that WB expects this game to have 13 SEASONS, each one with its own Brainiac. It will be no surprise when this game ends with a dumb cliffhanger as they pull the plug on the entire project, meaning anyone still invested in this current story will never have a resolution (unless WB decides to go cheap and speedrun 13 seasons in ONE).
The fact that CP2077 has over 30k players after all the issues at launch and Kill The Justice League has less than 1,000 says a lot.
CP2077 had a massive free update that fixed everything, this game fixed the shop menu
This is avengers all over again. If wolverine turns out the same way all hope is lost for superhero games.
its a good thing we have it on good authority that theres an actual game there, instead of whatever the fuck happened here
I agree. I actually wanna play Wolverine in the future
At least "Guardians of the Galaxy" was pretty fun, all things considered. Especially coming off the back of Avengers.
Wolverine's being developed by Imsomniac, so its probably going to be a banger
@@bloodyassault803 same I hope wolverine combos will crazy & the game will actually work
It’s crazy that they saw how avengers was and did fail but they still went ahead and basically made the same shit if not woese
Avengers was much better in actually kinda bummed I can’t play it now that it would be super cheap
@@MikeMarlowe-ym3zy Avengers while clunky with certain characters if it had better mission and more enemy varities other than robots it would have been a solid game. I enjoyed playing Avengers sometimes
Avengers at least had popular characters you wanted to play as, not a bunch of B-listers that no one cares about outside of maybe Harley. Even though Avengers was bad, you at least got your moments getting to smash things as Hulk, fly around as Iron Man, etc.
@@theoutsiderjess4869 the characters had unique playstyles, by default that blows SS out of the water
No one is going to learn anything from this. Warner Bros has no idea why this failed. And maybe even Rocksteady doesn’t either.
Rocksteady most definitely doesn't. My ex husband was one of the lead programmers, and the team was VERY excited over this. The plot, the mechanics, all of it. They were proud of it all.

Something no one talks about when talking about WB and Disney failures is the catastrophic status of marvel and DC comic books. They haven't turned a profit in probably a decade. Neither of them.

"I don't know about this, do you want to just play Helldivers instead?"
Recency Bias aside, that's kind of telling.
Helldivers is pretty good
You can't say recency bias when the two games launched hardly a week apart.
@@yomamasohot6411 I would agree with you in spirit, but I know there exists people that will simply look at one date being earlier than the other, and apply that bias nonetheless.
Helldivers is always fun
@@eldrasillone game is better then the other
Player numbers for Suicide Squad are lower than Helldivers right now. And I'm talking Helldivers ONE, which had it's already fairly low playerbase halfed due to the release of Helldivers 2.
Strange. I think Helldivers 1 is far more fun. Helldivers 2 is a mess.
"Why are those helicopters flying if Green Lantern died"
the right question would be: why did the ring stay in the earth, and why was it still with John? the ring only goes to the "worthy", and John became corrupted and would lose the ring.
After the death of a Lantern, the ring goes away after another bearer, and I don't think King Shark would become a Green Lantern. maybe red could even be
WHY IS THERE A GREEN RING ON THE EARTH? Why Rocksteady, why?
Rocksteady lost our trust just like CDPR, but the difference is that they managed to turn things around by improving the entire game (literally) and managed to win us again, and as they have 2 franchises it's easier. But Rocksteady only had Batman, the only apology would be with a new Batman, but they killed Batman and Franchises
I think one of the things that could have helped was making the characters unique. King shark uses a gun, and captain boomerang uses a gun and I would have liked to do cool boomerang stuff.
Its baffling that WB had each of their two flagship game studios develop a live service game, back to back, thinking they we're going to be successful. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket.
Damn, millions down the drain which could have been spent on an Arkham sequel. These executives need to be axed ASAP
or a superman or JL game
I feel like the core issue with any game based on a licensed property is that they run into using the wrong order of operations, i.e.: make a good game first and plop in recognizable characters second. The Arkham games weren't great because they had Batman, they were a great game with Batman in it. There was an interview with a writer (I think?) of the second live action TMNT Michael Bay movie who literally said something to the effect of thinking people would like it simply because they put Bebop and Rocksteady into it. That's not how entertainment works, and more producers and companies need to understand that.
In my best Tod Howard voice “SixTEEN times the disappointment “
"14 times the brainiac"
You can admit you're happy it failed,it's ok.If it didn't fail we wouldn't get a new single player game for even longer than the usual 4 to 6 years it normally takes to make a game.
This an example of:
Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.
Whereas Melkor spent his spirit in envy and hate, until at last he could make nothing save in mockery of the thought of others, and all their works he destroyed if he could.

@@brightongoodwin1267some game studios have entire positions purely for marketing in particular manners which are deceptive, they hire people purely for deception.

The game wasn't alive to begin with
That has been happening for years. We tried to warn them, but they didn't listen.
Something funny to point out: The official Batman Arkham RUclips channel never made a single post about this game but still made ones for the Nintendo Switch trilogy.
I honestly believe even if the current dev team and story writing team at Rocksteady had made a single player game( god forbid with assistance from Sweet Baby Inc) that game wouldve been mediocre at best and forgotten on arrival at worst, as someone said, Blizzard is a dead skeleton run by ESG obsessed freaks and money hungry management so is Rockstead and a lot of triple A studios now.
I don't think I'll ever buy a game at launch ever again because of this.
lol
Good thing
everyone learns at one point or another
I'm just surprised it took this long for you
That's a very smart financial decision.
Lmao do you even play it anymore?
If there was a leak in the future about CEOs trying to make the biggest flop possible then games like this, Avengers, etc would make sense and I would believe it. Because I don’t know how anybody was thinking this game was going to pop off at all.
The same applies to movies, tv, just about all entertainment is filled with baffling decisions that would only make sense if they’re doing it on purpose for some reason.
The fact that in one hour this video has more views than the all time player peak of the game is crazy

@@atiredcliche Yeah, cause they dont have to pay 120$ to watch an video
I’ve been wondering if there are any Rocksteady devs who knew this game was gonna be garbage, said something about it, and were shut down. There has to be SOME right? It’s a shame either way

Got flashbacks to BioWare with Anthem. Just because u are good a creating Singleplayer games doesn’t mean u can make good life service games
Well in Bioware's case, the problem was that they didn't start working on the essay until the night before it was due.
I was thinking why did they not just do the teen titans, Robin would be in there so you can have the bat family story still continue but they also have so many members to pick from for different ability heroes and either set it in metropolis or jump city or even San Francisco to change it up from Gotham
Can we all agree that we need to go play Helldivers 2? If not for anything other than liberty? I mean I’m doing this for FREEDOM!
Malevolon creek will be free!
As one of those 840 people playing, i had to stop last night because the update tanked performance. And can confirm the missions freezing and having to end game once mission is completed. I played a ton on ps5. Playing it on pc this week. And was enjoying it until this recent patch. Saw potential, but seems like they are going out of there way to end it just because it didn't meet there expectations. So those who stick around get screwed!
Guess it's time for some Helldivers
Game is woke trash an insulted the batman Arkham verse as well as Kevin Conroy in his last game appearance
Well I guess some people like garbage
Hope something better comes along that you can play dude
Suicide of RockSteady will not be buying a game from them again
I remember me and my mate couldn't finish the damn story for like 3 days in a row until they dropped the first patch because gettin sent to Earth 2 if either of us moved it'd full on soft lock the game.
I wanted to enjoy this game, sometimes I got a genuine chuckle but not a whole lot of the time the game has such potential but it feels kinda squandered
The reason the patches are going to take so long and the DLC is going to dry up, is because all the Devs are busy punching up their resumes for the inevitable layoffs. I doubt the Rocksteady that existed before WB bought them is even there anymore.
It's never a good sign when they quickly try to move on after saying it didn't meet expectations. It's already a low-key confirmation that they're having second thoughts of continuing to support it.
No one expected them to actually kill the justice league
not even brainiac did
"Go play Helldivers" feels like a backhanded shot at both games, considering the "squatting" issue Helldivers has right now.
That issue was solved multiple days before your comment.
I'd like to see another AAA dev company try another stunt like this if the message was not clear already.

@@Speederzzz So uh, much like industry standardization, they teach you the way you "should" write? Then what is the difference? They directly influence the content then
When Arkham Knight has 6000+ players vs less than 900 on Steam, it shows that there truly is a divide composed of different factors: the quality of the live-service, the legacy behind the studio, the franchise, the constant online requirement, the replayability.
*slot machines*
My ex played a significant role in the development of this game, and it's been extremely satisfying to watch it crash and burn. Is that petty of me? Yes. Is it a delicious hit of schadenfreude? Also yes.

I love that their comment is that it "fell short of their expectation" when everyone after finding out it was a live service looter shooter expected this, just exactly this to happen. Maybe not this bad this quickly, but pretty much this.
That's what happens when you do not stay loyal to your brand.
Just as a side note, at this very moment the channel has _666_ videos.

I don't see why king shark is flying. "We want our players to fly" "so what villains can we use that can fly?" "No we're using the ones from the film!" "But non of them have the ability to fly!?!?" "Just do it!!!"
Man WB.. it's pretty obvious, even as someone who is not a Harry Potter fan, why one did better than the other.
The Potter game: Respected the source material, sold a complete game, satisfying gameplay, met people's expectations in a satisfying way
KTJL: Spat on the source material, sold a series of microtransactions and season passes, uber repetitive gameplay, failed to live up to a single expectation
It’s funny that he called it “this game” or “The Game” and not suicide squad because of the algorithm

I can’t wait for the expose on working at WB. When both MK1 and Suicide Squad, games developed by good devs, turn out this wrong there is something bigger going on.
The only people left playing have to be Trophy/Achievement Hunters
Nah you get all the trophies just by logging in lol
its not the same Rocksteady that we love. Rocksteady is dead
I will give the Suicide Squad game one thing, it made me want to replay the Arkham games, which I forgot enough about that replaying them felt like my first playthrough all over again. It made me realize just how insanely freaking good those games are and it got me really excited about what Hundred Star Games "The real Rocksteady games" will be working on in the future.
Didn't the co-founders both leave rocksteady half way through SSKTJL and start a new game studio called Hundred Star Games. I think it's safe to say that rocksteady isn't the studio that we came to love during the arkham games
well theyre living up to the title. they are killing the justice league ip
Yeah I've been playing through this train wreck just out of pure curiosity. And I didn't have any issues until the update. Now there's even loot bugs where you get rewarded uncommon rarity at high levels, and legendary gear basically reverts and loses it unique perk.
When the game was first announced, I thought rocksteady was going to utilize the mechanics we saw in Arkham Knight where Batman is fighting alongside Catwoman, nightwing, and robin where you seamlessly pivot between characters…then I saw gameplay😢
You know what's funny about this disaster of a HUD? They have so much garbage in it, but that health bar is so tiny, a Level 1 Sora would go "What the hell is that thing?"
It´s interesting to me that the promise of a successful live service game is enough for studios to keep trying. I think their reasoning is that you can have 5, 6, 7 failed live service games, but if you have ONE successful one, you still make a profit. That´s why they keep trying, that´s why it keeps happening failure after failure. If you do manage to get one, you´ll be printing money and that´s worth hundreds of millions of dollars in failed games.
Correction Rocksteady WAS an amazing developer, then they chased away all the people who made the arkham games so they could create this.
I think they could redeem themselves if they made an arkham-style game out of batman beyond starring the original voice actor of Terry McGinnis. I would adore flying Terry around future Gotham.
Too bad they wasted Kevin Conroy's final performance. He could have passed the torch. Instead Rocksteady had the Squad piss on the Leage....
i get the Loading Metropolis thing now too. FML should have waited and bought Helldivers instead.
When your gaming studio is filled with representation & not talented people who know how to make good functioning games
"suicide squad didn't just die... IT WAS MURDERED!!!"
- that one youtuber from years back -
That's literally what the title is called *SUICIDE* squad
You keep saying Rock Steady is known for quality, but Arkham Knight was the very first game to ever have to be pulled from the store shelves the digital shelves
Warner Bros Discovery tried dropping the announcement after 4PM on a Friday, and their stock still lost 15% of it's value. People were paying much closer attention than WBD had hoped.
I have a confession to make. I liked the BatTank.
Twink Joker isn't saving this game.
I wouldn't give "devs" too much shit, as generally, they're told what to do and not do. Honestly, when the business side started to weasel its way into the game side, that's when gaming went down the drain.
Titanic sinks.

Not at all surprised. From what I'd heard of those that remain at Rocksteady, they are inexperienced and ill equipped to tackle an always online live service game. The veterans who made Arkham Asylum through Knight are gone, and even before they left had made many of the assets that ended up in the game. Assuming any of that is accurate, a buggy patch is the least of the worries for the game's future, and far from unexpected.
