the problem with the game is that the gameplay loop is boringly repetitive and the fighting mechanics are nowhere as deep as the other arkham games… combined with a terrible story this game never stood a chance with the fan base.
"Suicide Squad is the Internets newest and favorite punching bag. But does it deserve it?" Yes, absolutely. It's a fundamentally bad game that costs up to 100 bucks. And it's perfectly fine to enjoy bad games, but that doesn't make them good or less deserving of (harsh) criticism.
It's so bad, it tarnished everything that the Arkham series built story-wise with a really horrible storyline in general. Each time I think about how much they screwed up one of my favorite video games series of all time I get more pissed off. Everyone knew that the Arkham games are important to every gamer and the next game would bring more to the story and gameplay. But that's over now since this game tried to make some cash off a weakening IP.
Here's what i'll quickly say. A game (or other pieces of media) don't have to be objective masterpieces for some people to enjoy it or to have fun with it. That being said from what I've seen this game has a lot of flaws (the deaths of the JL members was my biggest issue) , I played all of the Arkham games and loved them, I enjoyed their stories, their atmosphere and their gameplay, but this game sadly doesn't look like something that I would enjoy, so I will pass on it. I'm glad that there are folks that enjoy this game and I hope they keep having fun with it even if others didn't , and we all just keep moving forward until something else comes out that maybe more of us will enjoy (That wasn't exactly quick but whatever).
You do a very good job of talking about everything a game does wrong but not about everything it does right The bad always stands out a lot more, you have more to say, and it goes for longer segments. It's possible to balance both out (or prioritize the good in some cases)
Hey there, I recently came across your channel and I can just say that I'm amazed of the quality. I really enjoyed watching the evil within and fear series and I'd to see more of that format. :)
I really enjoyed this game. It's also nice to see another shortform vid from you, love these informative opinion pieces. *kinda spoilery* The story did feel anti-climatic but if leaks to be believed, we can have hope for a cool return-to-form for the lore. The graphics are great and city is beautiful. The future I'd say is bright despite how many people say otherwise. Rocksteady have strong writers and I'm sure what's in store for the next few seasons will be great! I just hope it isn't abandoned in say a year's time!
@@timhaas6021This would be valid if I had an agenda like trying to convince you the game is good but the video is about my thoughts. I’m just voicing my thoughts and my final thought is that I liked the game. So it’s not that I am ignoring flaws to highlight the good stuff it’s more likely that what you perceive as flaws just might not be something I picked up on.
Well unfortunately with how the game's sales and popularity is going we might not get to see the story continued. It's good to have an opinion out there that is different from the rest only so long as it helps spark healthy dialog and discussion. You have provided just that but I fear people have lost interest in having such a discussion a long time ago...
Reading the comments...yeeeeeesh... It's as if you have to hate a game because people tell you to. Seriously, I get why you can dislike something but let the people who enjoy it..well enjoy it.
@@hairy_cornflake It's ok, I wasn't too clear with my wording haha. But I do genuinely agree with you, there are things to dislike but people are allowed to like things. Seeing people accuse brandoss of being paid by WB is absurd 😭 even if it's a joke, it's ridiculous. He did a fair video on Suicide Squad, pointing out its good and bad bits. He didn't lie either, he enjoyed it despite it's flaws and that is okay. I did too and I'm sure others did as well but even if they didn't, that's ok just some people can be a bit nasty for no reason. Sorry for coming off wrong initially 🥶

nice pfp
It's trying to be 3rd-person Borderlands but with DC characters with more dynamic movement.
Dont forget the icing on the cake, the political pandering

This game deserves to be DOA
@@Mandalore_ultimate Looking at the numbers, it pretty much is. It was in development for almost a decade, it's definitely didn't break even.

He does know the original developers of the Arkham franchise left the studio, right? This is not the same rock study

The batman fight was basically more like you were fighting scarecrow instead of batman
3:08 are they really? you just shoot maybe melee to break the occasional shield thats it
There is always a small percentage of people that find it necessary to like what majority has a consensus of being bad.
I’m glad so people like the game…..sadly I do not.
You have a great opinion that I agree with wholeheartedly.
Fair and balanced. Thank you for the review Bradoss. 🧡
Oof. That G-man lives burn. I love G-man's content lol.

Another "live service" no one asked with repetitive gameplay loop, bad writing and identity politics
Appreciate the more nuanced take.
He's cherry-picking.
I feel like you made this video for pitty views
30 hamburgers? thats slow as FUCK
Are you saying that it's a good game on purpose to get people mad?
Don’t do drugs kids. You too could end up enjoying games.
L take
Excellent video! Should do more of these. 😊
The average WB bot back at it again
I really enjoyed this game. It's also nice to see another shortform vid from you, love these informative opinion pieces.

U liked it? "'b'cos you're Australian!"
You are speaking the truth, I don't trust the opinions of the upside down man
This game literally sold less than Marvel's Avengers on it's first day of release this game is garbage
Well deserved
I dis-not-agree.
it means that i agree 👍
@@MohIsmail-mk1fdThis game only has a hundred something players now.
Garbage is a bit harsh.
What it is, is utterly mediocre and forgettable to the point of complete apathy.
It's hot garbage... unless you cherry pick... which you do.
I couldn't find anything good about this game everything is cringe
What do you mean by cherry picking?
@@B4BrandossOG Ignoring salient flaws in favor of positive aspects.

@@B4BrandossOG Straight up cherry-picking
Bro how much WB paid you? stop shilling this garbage game
WB is literally deleting negative reviews on Steam
Warner Bros is most definitely paying off this guy

This game is a complete failure from start to finish

Literally, he even critiques it yet they just hug to the title. Didnt even watch the vid either I bet
Nobody hates this game because we're told to and the majority of people who played this game don't like it which is why refunds are through the roof
@@Mandalore_ultimate I'm playing the game right now and having fun. A lot of people are shitting on it and haven't played it.
@@theinvictus6431 Sorry mate I misread that...I'm deleting my previous comment. 🙇
