It’s wild how all 4 characters are PERFECT representations of different video game classes (brute, sniper, glass canon and jack of all trades) yet they chose to make all of them play so similarly. Talk about a missed opportunity.
That's just how video games are now, games as a service where you take 0 risks and make everything as instantly user friendly as possible. If they made the characters unique classes, then they wouldn't play them all!
How are the non gamers who don't like any sort of depth or challenge supposed to enjoy that?
Woulsve been better for them to be a specific class one to be used for destroying sheilds another with environmental damage abilites and another that can deploy special tech based weapons
Shark feet
The visual noise is wild. After watching this for 20 minutes, I couldn't tell you what the basic enemies look like at all
I had the displeasure of working with some game devs as a third party.
Talent is important - in singing, acting etc, and we’ve seem to forget that game development is a talent too and unfortunate - not everyone is
its honestly quite head ache inducing.
guess they were going for that "dopamine" burst of pixels on most actions you do, kinda like mobile games when you unlock stuff, it's not about what you see, it's about the numbers going up and "big booms" for them it seems
It's a health bar shooter. I hate those
@@SolarNeonFlaretrue they are going the gacha experience with this one
I refuse to even consider this game canon to the Batman Arkham universe.
Grow up
@@DankisKewlcry
It falls apart at the basic level compared to the Arkham universe. Even Gotham Knights that took place in a different universe and fully embraced stuff like the Lazarus Pit had more believability than this game
@@buffsniperthe ones that are crying are you guys who complain and bitch about every single fuckn video game. Go touch grass or get a girlfriend you virgin nerd
@@DankisKewlyou not the joker kid
I appreciate you saying its a fake Deadshot after Rocksteady had the nerve to say the Deadshot in the prior Arkham games was an "imposter".
No the Arkham games is the real one, then Will Smith stole his armor/gimmick.
This dead shot was in the Arkham animated movie so it started there
@@Yamed688No he wasn’t, what are you talking about, they don’t even look alike.
makes sense as criminals are more common to steal ID's
The game actually tells you Deadshot is from an alt universe
@@Lajos_Kelemen in the animated movie Deadshot have a poster of the willsmith deadshot
Batman one hit KO'ing Harley twice in the original Arkham series is exactly what a fight between him and the rest of the suicide Squad would go if Rocksteady follow their own canon.
Are you familiar with the Grandfather's Axe paradox? Because if you are, you'll realize that it's Rocksteady in name only. The true makers of the Arkham series are long gone.
didn't some OG people worked on earlier games leave though?
Eh false. The fight actually makes sense. Its all abt fear gas.
If the actual Joker had been alive to see the way Harley did Batman, he'd have bashed her skull in with a mallet and apologized profusely to Batman for that flagrant disrespect. He'd probably even just give up being a criminal out of shame and go back to the Asylum on his own.
Harley Quinn is the bestest ever. Stunning and brave.
Wait you fight The Justice League just by shooting at them? Wouldn't it make more sense for Amanda Waller to somehow obtain Batman's contingency plans for dealing with each individual member and having the boss fights play out more like combat puzzles? That would actually make it more believable that Suicide Squad can take down Justice League.
Ngl that's not a bad story take, why didn't they? Lol get this man in the writers room
Had the same idea! They could have easily centered the story around the contingency plans.
You are correct
cause then there would be no mindless looter shooter and they'd have to make an actual game
They do get the contingency plans maybe play the actual game
I remember five to ten years ago, jokes and memes being made about how games were eventually going to be oversaturated with screen clutter and loot boxes. And now life imitates art, and we're worse for it.
I abhor this artstyle. I call it "Hi-Fi candy". It's very crisp and high resolution but everything looks like someone threw the game into a blender with 16 different Chupa Chups lollipops.
Just seeing that short clip of Prototype cleansed my eyeballs. Yeesh.
@@jakacresnar5855Prototype is much smoother experience, just started it on hard mode.
Blame it on all the mindless morons that bought Assassin's Creed, Horizon Zero Dawn, Far Cry, Spider-man, Watchdogs and all those copy/paste open world games that are obsolete by at least a decade. Their public is huge, Suicide Squad is as shit as the game I referenced, but in the mean time, actual good open world were made in Japan and released here. So slowly but surely, a growing percentage of said morons starts to realize their situation and want to evolve.
We'll see where that goes.
So why is the Justice League so small? Where's Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Shazaam, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Vixen, Plastic Man, Cyborg and the rest? It really feels like there was no one from DC comics consulting or story editing this ame.
Suicide Squad provides a robust selection of characters to play as such as
Captain Sniper Rifle
Sniper Rifleshot
King Shotgun
And beloved fan favorite
Harley SMG
King Mini-Gun.
Captain Sniper Rifle 😅
Its a discount fortnite and guardians of the galaxy game. Most overrated game at this point is suicide squad
Underrated comment..brilliant.
It's basically bootleg fortnite with powers minus the building.
Executive: "Tell me...what made the Arkham series so good?"
Developer: "Well, players got access to all of Batman's arsenal and were able to develop as the superhero over the course of the game, getting upgrades and accessing new parts of the Asylum/City. The setting was subtle, quiet, required some problem solving to traverse, and players could go at their own pace to find all of its secrets. It was a slow burn, but rewarding in itself."
Executive: "I see. Makes sense why they were so loved by gamers. Let's do the opposite of all of that now."
Hey Western video games and Hollywood are full of executives that think that way😂😂😂😂,
That's basically the modus operandi of the entire "modern" entertainment industry right there.
Executive: "Spastic Fortnite overwatch clone! Pissing on all their favorite superheroes! That's what the kids want!"
Bold of you to assume an executive would even ask such a question
@@danieltoth9742
Executive: "The Arkham series is a recognizable brand that we can make money from. You will now make a live-service game because money. Or I will fire you immediately."
Developer: *Does it and gets fired anyways*
THAT'S how it actually goes.
Why on earth wasn't Harley and boomerang melee focused? It would have given dead shot a more unique playstyle. Shark is fine because he does feel slightly different than deadshot. But giving everyone guns was a ginormous mistake.
Because this game is a third person shooter and melee isn't a viable way of focused play
@@Purpleeest ur argument is lazy my guy. Ur saying the sun is in the sky because the sun is in the sky. Why they chose a third person shooter is the point of the question.
@@CriticalShot1 they chose a third person shooter because that's what they wanted to do. Y'all are just mad at the game because it's not a brawler like the Arkham games were. The game is never going to be that, so just stop expecting that and move on. Everyone needs to stop crying about it already
@@Purpleeestlmao, no they chose a 3rd person shooter because loot based shooters are the most profitable/popular thing with children these days. Don’t be deliberately ignorant, it’s fine if you like the game but don’t play stupid
@@joshuabailey9578 you're just making an assumption asshole
I wouldn't be surprised if some "Live Service Psychologist" advisor gave them tips on how to make the whole combat full of colorful popping numbers and slot-machine-like effects and sounds to draw in mostly the crowd that like to gamble and spend money.
They even have literal slot-machine-rolls and casino symbols....
I think suicide squad 2 film addressed this pretty well. The suicide squad is better off put against regular unpowered people , who the hell would think boomerang or Harley could save the world from supernatural monsters.
I will say this: compared to how the 2016 film handled that idea, this one is at least a lot more charming and uncut. Too bad this game had to be worked on around the time that movie came out, because after The Suicide Squad, I'd much rather be playing as Bloodsport, especially since his moveset does support the whims of gaming better than Deadshot.
I haven’t seen it but don’t they end up doing just that - saving the world from a giant monster? A starfish or something?
@ellis7622
Yes, but the team are actually underdogs and doesn't just win because the villain is incompetent. The team, you know, is actually strategic, and the op powers of Ratcatcher and pokedot man do a lot in that fight. Not like the first Suicide Squad movie where the team is hilariously weak against Enchantress, so they have to make her stupid and basically give them a chance to beat her. 😂
They literally fight Starro there.
The 2021 film actually got away with doing both since they fought a giant star-fish (Starro), but that's because James Gunn is usually good at handling stuff like that. It was suspenseful and funny at the same time.
I still have no idea why this wasn’t just its own thing like Gotham Knights, there was no reason to set this in the Arkhamverse.
Because no one would be excited about it. Arkham's brand name was necessary to sell this tripe.
It's called brand recognition. No one would have cared otherwise.
You mean Gotham Knights? And yeah, good question.
Hell, it would have made more sense to do the exact opposite. Suicide squad could have been its own thing, while the arkhamverse could have continued with Gotham, showing us how Gotham is dealing with the loss of batman.
Gotham Knights had a plot, theme, and tone that fit the Arkhamverse more.* And yes it was full of design flaws and downright unfinished.
*The Bat-Family composed of Alfred, Barbara, Dick, Jason, and Tim grieving over the loss of Batman. An extra nasty Harley Quinn grieving over the loss of the Joker and vowing revenge.
It's always sad when a project comes out and confirms the version of a studio you loved is dead.
This truly was one of the games of all time. It had graphics. It had characters. It had sound. Truly a game that now exists.
Shut up
I like how they screwed up the introduction of the IP to the mainstream with Suicide Squad 2016
Redeemed it with The Suicide Squad 2021
Then brought it back down with whatever this is
I still find it funny when people say og Suicide Squad movie is a failure. It made an obscene amount of money and its punk designs are still the main merch DC sells to this day.
Critical* failure
@@dactorwatson4313 Rolling a nat one and getting a crit fail on the percentile die...
OG Suicide Squad is a studio-butcered film and even as a comprimised vision it made like hundreds of dollars of more money for the studio. TSS was a legendary box office bomb.
@@vhakanyildiz yeah but I think some losses have ripple effects. Suicide squad and its joker have been one of the flagship reasons people stopped trusting dc. That and justice league are truly DC's shining achievements when it comes to disappointment. It's the reverse of the batman. Sure that movie sold really well but I still think it fell short of ideal batman standards. But it's a double win when you consider the respect it earned dc back. Also the suicide squad is the reason we got peacemaker(should I just rest my case here lol) and how dc got a president who can actually give us good movies/swamp thing again.
Why does EVERY game need to be a loot based shooter with tacked on RPG skill trees, arbitrary character classes, big damage numbers written in Impact font, and weapon effects like “do 1.5% additional frost damage to robotic enemies when below 20% health”? I’m so tired of this stuff. Make your game fun first and you won’t have to fill it with a bunch of artificial incentives.
They are whale fishing.
^^^This
Every game isn't like that but this was put out as a looter shooter you can't be mad that you cant read
@@Ccubed92You’re purposely pretending to misunderstand hyperbole just to disagree with me. Also I never said I expected something different?
id say blame the populary of games like borderlands tho back then atleast all the lootboxes and shit were completely offline so you could play without internet and cheat the system.
The sooner everyone realizes that the owners of these IPs actually hate the source material, the sooner we can all stop giving them money.
It's worth noting Asylum and City were written by Paul Dini. Rocksteady never fared as well writing in house
Arkham Knight’s story was good too, albeit not perfect.
Suicide Squad is essentially everything wrong about the video game industry all rolled into one. If I want to run around an open world and scale buildings, I'll just play Crackdown, Prototype, Infamous, etc.
Yep. Or Saints Row 4 or the Insomniac Spidermans. Or Just Cause 3.
Any game that's done this before and did it far better, really. And with better writing.
Western* video game industry.
Japan is doing fine.
Sunset Overdrive!
F*ck Prototype was good.
I've only seen the Batman spoilers, I didn't realise this is part of the Arkham universe... Jesus, what a way to nuke an IP like that.
from what ive been reading, anyone who was a fan of the Arkham series is just considering this game to be a different doomed universe rather then the main one, kind of like how the DCeased comics are treated
Also basically all of the original developers that made the original Arkham trilogy are all gone. This game was made by a the same company in name alone. None of the original talent is here
That’s Sweet Baby Inc for ya. This is why people need to do their research as to what studios devs contract out to before they buy a game.
@@lawrencetalbot8346 I can't even rely on studios any more. I have to follow the developers by name- because they'll eventually get replaced by incompetent, overweight neon-haired women that don't know anything about men because all of them leave after flushing the rubber.
Internet and overreacting, name a more iconic duo. It doesn't change anything in the previous Arkham games.
Honestly it’s wild how even in terms of superhero live service games both Marvel’s Avengers & Gotham Knights were able to accomplish the basic task of granting each character a distinct moveset & animations that made you feel like you were embodying them. In Avengers, Iron Man felt like Iron Man & Hulk felt like Hulk. Rocksteady itself explicitly were able to get this right in the original Arkham games where they gave you opportunities to play as Catwoman or Joker etc. & they had attributes that made them distinct from playing as Batman. Here though, beyond traversal, the variety is nonexistent. Shark should be a Hulk-like character being a aggro-drawing tank who charges into enemies & mauling everything or Harley should be an agile acrobat flipping over enemies & tripping them up before bludgeoning them with her hammer or strapping them with exploding party hats or Deadshot should be shooting piercing rounds that skewer multiple enemies & pulling of trick headshots with bullets that ricochet off of multiple surfaces. Granting all of these characters different calibers of guns & leaving it at that just seems it would be the most dull & uninteresting way to approach the game just from the viewpoint of a developer let alone experiencing it as a player.
Gotham knights wasn’t live service. Games literally dead as well. And avengers ? Lmao let’s pretend everyone didn’t have a hate boner for that game as well
@LeonJohnson-yi3hg Let's not pretend Avengers release was not absolutely ass lol. Riddled with bugs an the same garbage issues this game has while wanting to shove dlc down your throat at every turn. Anyone with a brain knew this game was just going to end up as another Avengers
@@LeonJohnson-yi3hgYeah if you actually had any amount of reading comprehension you would be able to glean that the original commenter was saying despite how awful those other games are AT LEAST THEY UNDERSTOOD YOU SHOULD MAKE THE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS PLAY DIFFERENT
I think that you forgot to mention how Wonder Woman is the only Justice League member to get an honorable death because Sweet Baby Inc.
😂
Not to mention Lex's admiration for her in the codex.
I've had enough of this bs. I really am.
Oh is that the incel opinion now ?
> Only one with an honourable and respectful death
> Only league member who the suicide squad actually mourn
> Lex Luthor does nothing but praise her in her biography
> Lex talks about how perfect Themyscira is because they got rid of "toxic masculinity"
> She's the only league member who isn't brainwashed
The bias towards her is so fucking obvious it's actually shameful
This game will be an afterthought before the month is over
Yep. Prepare for 100 reddit posts going "THE PLAYERCOUNT OF SUICIDE SQUAD HAS DROPPED 90%"
fingers crossed
I don't understand the spammers keep telling it's top 1 preordered game.
More than Hellfame 2.
What they're trying to say with that?
Game barely is popular on YT.
Those who have seen spoilers have more views than anything else.
They're probably mixing GTA 5 preorders thinking like this game has got over bilions of dollars in a week after release.
Will the playerbase drop faster than Starfield's? Place your bets!
@@SeriousDragonifyNot to mention a game like The day before was the most wishlisted game in steam, so that doesn’t really prove anything.
This gameplay looks like the epitome of what I would expect if the developers were trying their best to appease a dopamine fiending, ADHD, low attention span, sensory dulled teenager. So, yeah, I guess they are probably hitting their demographic in 2024.
My friend is one of those and he doesn’t even like it
@@buttnakedsnake9357 LOL
Well comic books are for kids, so you would be right.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
Plus the disrepect for the justice league in the way their deaths are shown, is the cherry on top of the bland game play,
What’s with all the numbers on the screen?
And WTF is that HUD?
Suicide Squad: Kill Rocksteady
from what I read the founders of Rocksteady left and a ton of devs went with them. No real dev are left and only ESG persons remain. RIP
Someone in the studio took the Ubisoft UI meme seriously.
tbh that meme was always kinda overblown, but funnily enough im currently playing Sunset Overdrive, what is meant to be completely over the top and everything is designed that way and in comparison to Suicide Squad i feel my eyes are relaxing in this game.
There is no way that this wasnt designed by some absolute TikTok addicts for absolute TikTok addicts.
Ah...you didn't see the ui lead designer photo's yet?
@@CallMeTeci Sweet baby inc worked on this game I heard. Idk who it is but apparently it's bad.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 Im not sure if they have much impact on that stuff.
They usually are just there for "diversity", "inclusivity" and """writing""" purposes. (aka destroying these parts for those games in favor of ESG checklists)
So, instead of trying to devise a way of freeing the League from Braniac's control so that they can then take him down, Waller's best course of action is to murder the greatest heroes on Earth with some second rate villains?
I genuinely thought this is what the game was going to be, like the initial plan was "Kill the justice league" and then getting rocked by one of them and going "Nah, let's just free them because fuck that"
Theres no way of doing that. Brainiac essentially killed them before the game started and repurposed their bodies with his own programming.
That's literally the character. In every incarnation. Waller doesn't see the Justice League as the world's greatest heroes. She sees them as a threat. With all the legit complaints about this games writing this complaint is possibly the least on point.
The game is called kill the Justice League...
@@jackcoleman1784I agree that killing them isn't the biggest issue, it's how they do it. The perfect example is Flash. In the beginning of the game, he tries to help and save them, which Shark acknowledges after you kill him. Then Boomerang starts pissing on him, and THEN the rest of the Squad comment on and salute how big his cock is. Like...what the actual fuck is wrong with these writers?
I’m registered blind and only have sight in one eye and that intro almost took out my remaining sight. 😂
Why is there a registry of blind people, and why would you sign up for it?
get that bag
This game feels like what agents of mayhem was to saints row.
At least they had the decency to not call it Saints Row and not make it cannon. Unlike the actual disaster that was the Saints Row re-boot.
More like Suicide Squad: Kill Rocksteady's reputation
WB killed it
As much as this game will drag Rocksteady's rep through the mud, the OG devs from Rocksteady aren't the ones to blame since they left the studio and a new wave of idiots came around and just ruined everything. This is not Rockestady anymore, Rockestady was made upon the talent of people that are no longer there, now it's just an empty shell of a name, nothing more.
Rocksteady killed themselves
More than their reputation, this will probably kill the team completely
Warner Bros. is the lead in forcing their devs to implement free-to-play mechanics into fully priced games.
if you mean the lootbox and mtx bs then it needs to die.
It’s just competition for marvel avengers
Good lord, maybe I'm just getting old but all of this gameplay hurt my eyes. What a mess of UI, colors and particle effects. That one transition to gtav gameplay was so staggering
I can't be the only one that noticed all four playable characters have 'bombs' in their head (that get 'hacked' into by _two_ separate characters within an hour or two of each other near the start of the game) but neither _Batman_ nor *_Brainiac_* decide to do the same??
Wouldn’t the green lantern ring reject John Stewart since he’s being brainwashed by Brainiac to do unheroic things?
Yep….. and King Shark would never be able to put it on because it would have flown away right when he died. Shows how much new Rocksteady doesn’t know about anything DC.
Maybe brainiac modified the ring so that anyone can project their will, it seemed that King shark was getting mind controled after using it so it could make sense....
But honestly.... they didn't really tought about it and just wanted someone to use the ring but not keep it for story purposes.
Now that I think about it, they could have made the heroes share their powers before dying! something like Flash giving Bumerang the speedforce, batman giving his gadgets to harley, kingshark with the ring and so on. Make it some kind of ultimate that builds up with combos, and you get not only a fun gameplay mechanic but also an actual story reason for why they even stand a chance against characters like Superman or Brainiac! how the fuck did they not think of this
@@draconomegaThey didn’t think. They know casual gamers don’t give a shit
No. His will is there in full force. Brainiac's power doesn't take away the willpower of the victims, its more like convincing them that this is the way. Its why the JL still maintain who they are and feel that they are doing the right thing helping brainiac instead of being brainwashed zombies
@@symbuhh7651 Spoilers. It doesn't fly away because they aren't dead
Imagine if they made a goddamn Batman Beyond game instead.
Man batman beyond is sick af, I would love it!
That would basically be "what they gave us" VS "what we actually want".
They can just take my money at that point
YO
I'd really like a Wonder Woman game but I wouldn't trust anyone with the writing nowadays.
It’s like a omen when anything for suicide squad is produced it’s actually crazy
Yep. First movie was awful, the second movie completely tanked at the box office despite being good, and now this game is a disaster. Stop forcing this brand, it’s tainted, it’s cursed, and no one wants it
@@Hahaha-wb9wl The Suicide Squad movies just seemed like parodies of superhero movies. Especially the second one.
0:45 the big eyed video game black woman is back
Western devs love their ugly middle aged black skinned women by some reason
She is the diversity and inclusivity checkmark. She plays the same boring character every time, I would find a mime more exciting than what she manages to deliver.
took me awhile to realize that's a "wo"man lol
I heard a rumor that there's a game behind all those sprites.
sprites? You mean a vat of hydro vomit on an HD screen.
@@Ladle69 I wonder if there're any pissed off Kevin Conroy fans who live just round the corner from Rock Steady it would be cathartic to see one storm right into the hq and slap the stupid of the morons who thought it was a good idea to piss all over his legacy before killing him off like Joel from The Cucks of Us 2.

@@marcuskahn3783It's just a video game
it's a huge missed opportunity they didn't go for the Cybertron series formula, with different missions for different characters to highlight their unique abilities
The High Moon Transformers duology were such great games.
I didn’t think of that.
wtf that would've been so dope as well
If only modern Rocksteady had love for DC like Highmoon had love for Transformers
Yea I was thinking of that , that would mean the game won't be loot based . If the game is still looter shooter? Either way they messed up . They could have been much smarter how to execute certain things and aprouch them , like even if you wouldn't like the concept or idea if playing as the Suicide Squad and taken down the Justice Legue but the execution would have made things so much better at least .
Looking at this game screen is like one of those mobile games adds, just a million things happening all of the time 😂
Where is my Injustice League? Sinestro. Giganta. Captain Cold . Solomon Grundy. Bizarro. Black Manta. Like a bunch of people to get nuts. Suicide Squad helping them out would make sense. Waller only Dealing with these four is kinda... lackluster. There are a lot of heroes and villains available. Gorilla Grodd. Ultrahumanite. Faust. Etc.
Seeing the UI in motion is somehow even worse than the screenshots.
I really don't understand how they managed to shoehorn multiverses in. Really? This Brainiac is from another universe?! AND that Joker DLC is from ANOTHER universe?!! Why, god, oh why is EVERYONE doing multiverse??!
because its a cheap and easy writing crutch at this point that allows them todo pretty much anything they desire at the drop of a hat. It used to mean something interesting and had a level of importance but now its just "hey we need x charater todo y thing but we cant justify them doing it or them being there in the first place. So we will just say they came from an alternative universe."
Because consequences are scary and consistency is hard. The answer? A mechanic that conveniently removes both of those things and leaves room for your fuckass millennial writing.
DC has multiversal event like every 10 years the whole last decassde was about pushing a batman from another dimension who failed to beat joker venom, hell even the animated movies always lead up to some multiverse event for world reset this is far from new and pretty defining part of larger comic book stories
A lazy way to re introduce popular characters. The Arkham joker died in Arkham City. So how do you bring him back? Multiverse!!!
Multiverse is the new option to just say F it, do whatever you want and literally anything can make sense because nothing makes sense
love how dedicated you are to referencing 90s movies
I watch every video you put out but after about a minute the visuals of this game were so difficult to look at that there's no way I can finish
That's my real problem with the writing. Because they're being mind controlled, there's little in the way of character payoff. They basically all die in the very beginning of the game, and the Squad might as well be fighting their reanimated corpses for how little narrative gravity is put on their respective deaths.
The dialogue also seems to act like the JL heroes are *actually* evil for some reason. Harley's monoluge for instance doesn't really reconcile anything towards her historic foe.
So heroes are always always supposed to win the big fight no matter what?
No, but they are not supposed to be killed off easily by D-list villains, especially the likes of Superman and the Flash @@Made2Slash
@@RahulSingh-zo7sm That sounds like comic book talk. This aint the Comic books lol. Or the last to the Justice League Unlimted. This is a universe where they lose 🤷🏽♂️ simple as that.
Both marvel and Dc brings up other universes where they lose a really big fight.
You should look up the company called Sweet Baby Inc. and how they actually worked on this game to help out with the writing. Essentially it's a "diversity" company that will actually be hired by game studios to force ESG scores in the game
Played through on console with a controller, the game has an almost aggressive auto aim like it was rare to pull down the trigger and not have Boomerangs spine snap in half as he suddenly locked onto the nearest enemy
I got a headache just from watching someone else playing the game, I think I'd have thrown up if I was the one holding the controller
Can you do a challenge run? Can you beat Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League without getting mad or vomiting?
@@r3tr0_r3dux_2 Stream it as a charity run so there's atleast some kind of positive spin on making him do such a horrendous task for we the audience.
If my mom got me this game for Christmas, I would put her in a home the first time she forgot her email password- and it'd be one of the cheap ones that smells like piss with orderlies that beat old ladies
I think it's strange how aim assist for controllers has been around since like GoldenEye where it was auto aim which them evolved into the modern aim assist where your crosshair slows down near enemies... and now to the point where it's extremely strong as if gamers don't know how to aim anymore
Are you kidding? There’s nothing Harley says in this game that doesn’t make me want to commit Suicide Squad.
the visual noise at the beginning almost had me slam the browser closed on instinct
So this is how rocksteady died...
*With thunderous applause*
Thunderous? It was more like a thunderous wet fart.
It actually died when the OG team that did the OG Arkham trilogy left to form their own company. The new writers are awful, but that's par for the course for most IPs these days, whether it be in games, TV shows, comics or movies.
Oh, and love the asset flip of Amanda Waller. They used the exact same model of the VA actress, Debra Wilson, that is in the Jedi Survivor and Jedi Fallen Order. Did they ask EA if they could use that asset? I mean, the EXACT same, hairdo and all. Couldn't they have at least modified it so I'm not seeing Cere Junda from Jedi in this game? lol!
Who the F is applauding this crap?
If they promised to investors that it would make a lot of money I would by the end of the year it will be sold off or closed down.
@@kodemasterx It's SLOW clapping.
Remember that shitty Agents Of Mayhem game.
Give it a DC skin.
That's the game.
I can see that, I also see the comparison of Sunset Overdrive
Right now it's not even in steams top 100 player count list and for a live service multiplayer game that def isn't a good sign
or a very GOOD sign.
I love how you use guns when bullets are the least useful thing against the justice league. Batmans suit is resistant to them with bullet proof plates in keys spots. The Flash can just move out of the way cause he's faster than light durr. The Green lantern can use a shield to stop them and Superman is invulnerable to just about everything.
They actually come up with various ways to weaken or get around the heroes powers *SPOILER*

Such as using yellow lantern powers to destroy green lanterns constructs and weaken him making him vulnerable to being pumped full of lead. And that's just one example
@@Purpleeest wonder why the super heroes didn't think to somehow focus on say picking harley and slinging her at a concrete wall, turning her to bits lol the super heroes are literal NPCS in this game.
@@SolarNeonFlare you're not wrong and it's probably because they weren't the real versions of the super heroes. Not confirmed for sure but it seems like the brainiac versions of the justice league are weaker and dumber. The real justice league will likely show up in later content for the game.
King shark died in the fully cannon (and much more entertaining) Assault on Arkham
No that one was from another universe don’t worry
This is why I don’t consider this game canon to the Arkhamverse even if Rocksteady say it is. It’s clear that it was gonna have its own continuity but probably some WB corporate dumbfuck forced them to say it’s in the Arkhamverse to generate more hype.
@@brethnew it was definitely part of the arkhamverse
Also Deadshot was already in the Arkham verse. He was white in city but black here. Is it supposed to be another person acting as Deadshot or what?
This is Fanfiction even if it does borrow characters from Arkham they aren’t canon no matter how much the devs and publishers say to the contrary.
"You either die a hero or live to see yourself become the villain". This quote is doubly apt considering the state of the Arkham series.
There is no Arkham series anymore. It’s been done since 2015. People wanted rocksteady to revive the franchise but we got a decent game that could never satisfy the Arkham cultists
Where is the decent game? @@LeonJohnson-yi3hg

Jesus Christ, this is reaching sociopathic levels of cope. Get this deranged persecution complex out of your mind, it's not healthy.
So a bit off topic, but I remember you said once your a fan of synthwave, have you heard of gunship? They basically took every 80s trope there and made it into their music. Definitely worth a listen just for the sheer amount of Easter eggs and references.
Immediately made me think of Sunset Overdrive super flashy and over the top (but not blinding and full of visual noise refeing to Sunset Overdrive) definitely a very weird choice especially since they made a dlc mission in Arkham Knight where you play as a Harley and it was super fun and her acrobatics helped you eacape. Was hoping it would go that route
What, Captain Boomerang doesn't even use boomerangs as his primary weapon?
My fav villain! Captain GUN
Its his melee weapon. He also uses it to teleport.
Boomerangs are more of an Abo thing. They throw it
Then huff petrol
King Shark? That wasn't King Shark, that was MCU Drax in a shark costume.
I am SharkGPT beep bop boop my dialogue is natural and quirky not at all composed by AI I am stupid and therefore charming I sound just like the movie and not a cheap copy 🤖
Amazing Video GmanLives.
I stated when they first teased it. The way the characters attack is exactly the way the Raiders of the broken planet/ Spacelords characters do . If that game had the expansion content i was writing since 2018 now it would be a fantastic experience to revisit it .
The ammount of clashing colours in the city just makes metropolis look like a Brazilian ghetto
Can confirm.
At carnival...on a weekend.
What Rocksteady seemed to forget was that in their universe deadshot was white. You beat his ass like multiple times throughout the games
Nah, they actually retconned the white Deadshot as a fake one
Which makes Batman look like an absolute idiot since he believed the fake was real for decades
Nah, he clearly underwent pigment alteration surgery just like Robert Downey Jr's character from Tropic Thunder.
yeah, but Will Smith played him in the first movie so now he has to be black in all future portrayals, consistency be damned
@@Redhead-pf8lethe fake also had better aim and never missed too lol
One of the first things boomerang says to him is "wait aren't you white" like we're in mean girls
I believe in a pretty solid and somewhat provable theory that all of those triple-A games are so fucking horrible because they were made by people who don't know diddly dick about making video games. That's because all the talented and experienced veterans of the industry either quit or been fired from those companies, and are now producing their own crowdfunded indie games which are actually good.
this game is the pale horse. a sign of things to come.
Always online Single player. Nuff said. No purchase.
best part is they even killed off any hope of the game being preserved via yar har without agressive restructuring.
I swear, every time Harley, Boomerang, Innsmouth Amanda Waller, or anybody else speaks, these moments from Community come back to me, the moments where Jeff tells Leonard to shut up.
An entire game could be made around why and how Batman, Superman and Green Lantern were mind controlled, yet the game has no idea what the hell happened, the game doesn´t even seem to know who Brainiac is, the JLA fights could be summed up by: "Extremely powerful individual moves away from the (by comparison) extremely vulnerable individuals and throws stuff at them from a distance, avoiding all contact". In a fraction of a second, Luthor´s heart is removed by the Flash then becomes the already described bossfight, in the scripted Batman scene, he knocks every single one out with ease and forgets to kill them (he killed 2 people 5 minutes earlier), then becomes the already described bossfight, Green Lantern captures them in an extremely easy way at the beginning, then becomes the already described bossfight, Superman...You get the idea.
The only argument the game ever provides as to why are you supposed to kill these people instead of helping them to defeat Brainiac is "Because the Flash said so", then get ready to shoot (yes, shoot) every single one of them to death. Wait, did I say every single one of them? Not WW, she gets a somewhat "emotional" death or an attempt at an emotional death, mourned by people who don´t know a damn thing about her.
I would share the link to the video but there are audio files in the game that explains how they were brainwashed. It's out of character how it happened
Edit: Title of Video is How Braniac brainwashed Justice League
You can tell anybody in charge of decision making didn't give a damn about this game. This was slapped together and thrown out the door for the sake of a few quick bucks and bootlick ESG.
Bad writing aside, it's genuinely infuriating that this game was released as paper thin and broken as it was. A $70 dollar game that relies on online components to play. You couldn't even play the online at launch. Not servers getting bogged down or anything. A bug that allowed people to beat the entire game within a few minutes. And thus online had to be pulled down. That is fucking pathetic.
@@frug5629 Is this "ESG" in the room with us right now?

Oh man, I wish they would make another good Hulk game like the one you reminded me of. That game was so much fun just jumping around causing destruction. Car hands!
Never read title and hit the like button so fast like this before
Wait a minute. Does Debra Wilson contractually demand that her characters are always modeled after her? Or is this just a side effect of games starting to rely pretty heavily on facial-mocap? I saw the Amanda Waller character and I thought I was watching footage from Jedi Fallen Order.
The Batman stalking you scene is a great reminder of what Rocksteady is capable of when they have strong direction and gameplay designed around that vision. The best and most memorable parts of the Arkham games were the tightly designed sections that put you in a small space and made you deal with a threat, find a way to your objective, or sort out some sort of puzzle, and especially in City and Knight, those moments were contrasted with traversing more open environments.
Here, though, almost all of the gameplay is put into that big open environment, and there's no creativity to it. They clearly had no idea how to design their game around that, so every story and side mission boils down to one of three basic combat scenarios (kill X number of enemies to destroy this machine, defend this point, or defend this vehicle), and they try to stretch that out into 6 hours of gameplay to make a 9 hour game with 3 hours of cutscenes.
This is the PERFECT example of a polished turd. It looks great, and the gameplay feels good, but there's no depth and absolutely no variety. Hell, the final boss fight is a copy-pasted version of the first (and arguably worst) boss fight. They couldn't even figure out a better idea for THAT in the 6+ years this has been in development?
I can't shake the feeling that they had a title for a game and got the green light to start making it, but entered production with no idea of how the gameplay would work, what the story would be, or how that story would translate to gameplay. So we end up with a game from Rocksteady that feels thoughtless and shallow in nearly every aspect. I feel bad for the exceptionally talented actors, animators, and artists that put the characters and cutscenes together, because despite a script and direction that often veers into downright awful, the quality of those is, quite frankly, phenomenal. There are obviously talented and passionate people working at the studio still, but they've been working on an unfinished game based on an unfinished idea.
I need a five hour long version of the outro music in my life
This is to Arkham Knight what Skull & Bones is to Black Flag.
In an alternate universe we’re settling in to a round of the newest release of the Arkham series and the pirate part of black flag built into a stand-alone game by Ubisoft. Wish I’d been born in THAT universe.
it will be funny seeing how fast this game will follow that Avengers shitshow into oblivion.
Kind of a shame what happened to Avengers, really. I picked it up right before it was de-listed, and what I played wasn't bad. Definitely by the end it had me wishing the plug wasn't pulled, since I wanted more.
There were a lot of things about the game I didn't like, but they nailed how the heroes played and felt. Bouncing heads with Cap's shield and poppin heads with Bucky's guns felt pretty fun. Fuck, even Hawkeye was fun to play.
There was a solid game in there, but they really ruined it with all the live service bullshit.
Sweet baby inc was highly involved in this game. That's all you need to know if you're paying any type of attention the last few years
Bingo.
I keep seeing that name thrown around. Can someone fill me in on the details about them?
They are a plague in the gaming industry. Do you know if they had involvement in the last of us 2?
@@DinoDave150 A writing consultancy firm, those exist apperently, that are involved with many gaming company to a varrying degree. Their mission statement is to be as ESG complaint as possible
Sadly even channels like this fail to see the reason why this game is they way it is. Also many other big channels fail to see it aswell. Things in the industry are going to get much much worse.
3:08 Was that narrator voiced by Jim Ward? I swear, he sounds like Captain Qwark from Ratchet & Clank

Instead of Superman annihilating them with eye laser like he did with wonder girl boss, he flies above them like an idiot
Batman who has a contingency plan to neutralize the JL, he fails to kill thrid rate dc universe villians
Yep. Cause it’s not about care about the lore of the characters/universe. It’s just a poor slapstick shooter to suck in our $$$ cause we fall for the “it’s rocksteady” studios without knowing any better.
My biggest issue with this game is that it's is part of the Arkham-verse. Meaning that THIS is how they chose to introduce the Justice League to the Arkham continuity. So even if I overlook the way the writers disrespected their own legacy, I can't do the same with the MULTITUDE of other opportunities this game has effectively pissed away for this continuity. Because even if they retcon this entire game, it won't change the fact that this is how I'll remember the rest of the Justice League being handled by Rocksteady in their first outing: disrespected, and killed off with less respect than a random guard executed by Joker in Arkham Asylum.
Don't worry, they are 100% retconning this game down the line
@@NoName...... It really doesn't matter to me. The fact is that this is how they chose to introduce the League in the Arkham-verse, as well as end the story of the Arkham-verse Batman. That effectively has killed any urge I have to see more content about these characters in a game made by Rocksteady, even in a retconned continuity. I have zero desire to play another Rocksteady DC game after this.
@MoostachedSaiyanPrince Ain't no way its Canon. No way in hell can you explain. Deadshot pulling a Michael Jackson. Takes me right out of believing this is the same series.
@@edge1247 The game itself claim it's canon. If memory serves, they "explain" the race change for Deadshot by claiming the Deadshot from the Arkham games stole the name from this one.
@MoostachedSaiyanPrince Lmfao impossible. Go back and see the damn shot he pulled off in Origins. That's definitely Deadshot. Think for yourself. What a sorry ass excuse to try to tie this into the Arkhamverse.
Interestingly enough that small clip of Prototype from 2009 has a cleaner UI than the screen vomit from suicide squad. Not to mention that Alex Mercer is a much more compelling villain with an actual character arc. Great story to boot too. (We won’t talk about prototype 2 though)
I've seen a montage of gameplay and feel like I've already experienced every single thing this game has to 'offer.'
still can't believe they showed a giant shark man with a green lantern ring and then didn't let you play with it. what the hell
I'm sad that Debra Wilson has become the face of "token black woman we've given all the authority to", she's a lovely person and a great actress, it's just that current day won't let her be anything other than this.
But when she's allowed to be something more, she can really bring emotion and skill to the role. Some of my favorite roles of hers were Savathun, where she played a leader alien bug with magic powers in Destiny 2 and Isabelle Moreau from Esperados 3.
I have been playing SW Survivor a L O T so... I was very happy to hear that she was in this game and Terra Strong.
I love how you're saying current day won't let be her anything else but then bring up 2 other examples of her playing roles that aren't herself.
Also, calling her a token is extremely disrespectful and racist.
@@theobell2002 One was an indie studio where they themselves make her a black stereotype and the other was a thing where race doesn't matter becuase again, space bug. Also how crazy is that? Me noticing how producers and makers choose a actor to be the black female on everything where they write her overbearing and annoying makes me racist, not the producers that wrote it, I am for thinking maybe she should be more than the black woman casted on everything to be strong, independent a boss and sometimes even racist to white people like she was made to be in Wolfenstein.
They could have released in 2023 but didnt want to compete with Gollum and Kong, and start 2024 just right :)
That UI overlay is from hell, I got dizzy just from watching...
competing agenst Gollum and Kong LOL.
"We estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures."
The fact that Kevin Conroy's second to last performance was this is criminal.
I mean he was still batman.
Evil batman should've been like Mr X from Resi, ruthlessly chasing you throughout the game
The visual clutter gives me "HIT THE LEVER" flashbacks from Konamis Pachinko machines.
Classic "free-to-play" live service slot machine simulators, I was addicted to Warframe through 2015-2018, it looked similar (maybe not as bad), it also has you locked to your loadout in missions and you need to quit to change if you find yourself with the wrong weapon for the job.
And you got hooked to the alledgegly GOOD one, because Warframe apparently didn't enforce a heavy "pay2win" and loot box slot machine economy into the player every 10 seconds. Believe me, the rest of the ecosystem is ten times worse.
What pisses me off is that one day, all that work Rocksteady put into the game will be for nought once WBs pull the plug on the game. Absolutely disgusted seeing the amount of work being erased without end of life plans.
yep, since they dieced to make it a live service thing its pretty much has a programmed death day.
Offline mode coming. You’ll be able to play the game in 10 years if you want to
@@smoozlydrawn3154 but will it be done by the studio or will it need to be yar hared?
@@smoozlydrawn3154 I'll believe it when I see it, wonder why that isn't there on launch even though it was announced last year?
@@kiros2032 because game development is complex. When the whole infrastructure of a game is built around multiplayer and online features, offline mode is not just adding a magic switch to make it all work offline. They took that year to focus on gameplay which is being praised by most players.
9:21 Funny you mention Haku the wrestler in reference to King Shark because he is voiced by Pro Wrestling and current AEW World Champion Samoa Joe.
i get what u mean abt the ui, but atleast when i was playing it was barely even a problem, it showed all it needed to show and wasnt that hard to ignore, and plus if its really that bad then you could always disable stuff
The Batman mission did a really good job of reminding you of a much better game, from the far superior talent of past Rocksteady staff.
The hud of this game really reminds me of the “what gaming journalists think Elden ring should look like” meme.
And that’s not a fucking good thing.
Rainbow diarrhea explosion 💥 🌈
Wow that “meanwhile at the hall of justice” just took me tf back
Given the DLC seems to be exploring elseworld variants, I'm willing to bet that this was originally meant to be a variant of Arkhamverse and not the OG one, with real Arkham Batman showing up later down the line. Then Conroy tragically passed and made that impossible. Could be cope but I just refuse to believe they thought handling his death like this would go over well.
This game is that one scene from Ready Player One where the main villain shows how much crap they can have in someone's vision before it induces seizures.
It's like someone took Borderlands and fed it a bunch of Fortnite and DMT and set its color palette to 'Nuclear Autism'.
You’re entitled to your opinion but if you’re a serious fan of the Arkhamverse then theirs nothing remotely redeemable here.
To see such a beloved series get turned into something that’s essentially another uninspired live service looter shooter just designed to keep extracting money from the player like some battle royale game is utter bullshit. Not to mention what they’ve ultimately done to the Batman considering it was Kevin’s last performance. It’s heartbreaking
Haven´t play the game yet but i recall when borderland was out and no one bat an eye for the thing of the numbers flying around the screen and all of the sudden now everyone hates it?
Probably because borderlands is actually considered a good game?
feels like most of warner bros big budget DCU games have the story of "Brainiac did it"
