For those of you that were asking.. yes I uploaded this to second channel a couple of days ago. Decided that was a mistake, and to go ahead and upload here! 👍 Edit: I will actually not be doing the platinum on this one. I’ve suffered enough.
what are you talking about, this arkham universe ended with arkham knight, there is no squad game, and even if we pretend that this game was arkham its too different to give that title imo
@@darthshard8967arkhamverse and Arkham style are two different things bro, don’t remember ever getting promised another Arkham style game. All they said was it’s in the arkhamverse
Isn’t it funny how Harley Quinn lectures Batman on causing Mental and Emotional damage when she herself has caused the deaths of countless men, women and children.
it is funny. it baffles me ppl dont point that out. but i know why. 99% ppl who like the story, have 0 clue about comic books, movies, games and characters. they think harley quinn is a good woman , a hero bcuz they saw gunn's movie where quinn's degeneracy is toned down and she's more like a pop loli girl
Funny how most people bombing this game don't even have a copy! Every game cannot be a rerun of the Arkham series please. Suicide squad is a different version of metropolis
I am glad to tell you this. As a person who has played the Witcher 3, and is currently playing it again on PS5, I can tell you with great confidence that once you eventually play it this year, your faith in gaming will be restored again.
I hate the movement and general gameplay of witcher 3 so much that I can't just bring myself to really enjoy it. I bounced off of it like 5 times already. Maybe there will be a 6th try but holy god damn the gameplay is really bad.
The Witcher 3 is probably the most overrated game ever created, I've never been more bored in a game. After 2 hours of gameplay and being unable to refund it, it left me extremely disappointed.
gameplay: below average comedy: cringey characters: unlikeable and hypocritical story: straight up disrespectful. the graphics are the only good part but they get drowned out by the barrage of special effects happening and the voice acting was fine except for Harley and Boomerang who were super grating to listen to.
Fun fact The original developers( I don't know which department) of the Arkham series left prior to the creation of Suicide squad Kill the justice league so that means that this game sucks in narrative and Story is because Rocksteady is now mixed with experienced and inexperienced game developers and story developers.
What bothers me is HOW are some of these new people getting these jobs? If anyone had any sense of what makes a good game (no matter what type of game it is) they would stand up against these people who are putting in these terrible ideas, concepts, etc. Etc. Why is no one checking them and telling them the truth that those ideas will bankrupt any game company but "oh well let's go with it anyways because you guys actually have the best ideas and everyone else is actually the idiots!"
Bozo the game's been in development for 7 years They just left one year before the The games release ( 4 months if you want to be exact before the delay ) They wrote the game the people that have been at the studio for all this time or the ones who wrote the story, You're getting mad at developers who had nothing to do with that instead you're getting mad at developers that have left a year ago
Back then,rockesteady were made by batman lovers, for gamers. but today's game's not only SSK other games are made to make money today's game developers are just being directed from the company marketing team, and most haven’t even played a video game. There isn’t a passion for the craft anymore, games are just products to them.
Would’ve been better if instead Wonder Woman being not under Brainiac’s control, it was Bruce. He could put the suit back on and make a deal with waller’s TFX to take down the Justice League with his protocols against them. Would’ve been cool to fight with Batman
You still would have the problem of Arkham Night ending because it concoldences Batman his solo story but the Justice league changes it by making it a story about the team itself.
slow reshape of the studio. hiring activists and ppl from the alphabet and firing competent ppl. its a slow process, every company goes through it since 2015 and "TOLERANCY" boom
WB Games does not give a damn about “fans”. They have a track record of questionable publisher practices. Shame to see another game affected by their decision making🤦🏻♂️.
and also about the message batman gives you saying it feels forced is because it is, its a museum for kids and there’s audio logs of them forcing batman to go along with the message
Arkham Legacy: Bruce Wayne, After more than 5 years MIA, studying the Justice League, their backgrounds and weakness, a new threat comes to Earth. Brainiac uses a gas on Metropolis turning everyone into puppets, the Justice League included, and with them the whole planet is in danger. Bruce Wayne needs to get back to his old self and become vengeance in a last attempt to stop the Justice League, save the world and defeat Brainiac. This story will put Bruce Wayne back into the action as The Batman against the world greatest heroes, later old foes such as Harley Quinn, Boomerang, Deadshot, Penguin and other will join him in a fight for survival that will determine the survival of humanity, a fight that will be know years in the future as the Arkham Legacy. This could have been a way better story to tell and give a proper send off not just to Batman, Bruce Wayne but his incredible voice actor.
i personnaly think this game is more than okay in terms of gameplay, graphics, cutscene, easter eggs, and more, but the story could go to hell for all i care. quick note there is a easter egg that says batman will return. hinting that these are corrupted clones of the justice league, that braniac made, and the game dlc will probably be around saving them. so it might make a comeback... hopefully. edit: this is my most liked comment thank you.
I mean… Does it matter anymore? Like this game is dead. They have fucked up the writing of the game. People shouldn’t buy a game with expectations of what’s to come. People should buy a game for what it is and look forward for what the devs add in the future.
Wonder Woman using Lasso of truth: “Barry how do I stop this?” Flash: “I’m not the real Barry Allen, I’m a clone of Brainiacs the real JL are imprisoned, kill me, save the real JL that’s how you fix this.” Yeah that’s a plot error already
@@DrippleDragon I mean that's if braniac wasn't clever enough to make the clone think he is the real Barry Allen. Then again it is braniac... Might not be that clever to do that.
@@DrippleDragon Brainiac is the smartest character in the dc universe I'm pretty sure he is smart enough to make sure the clones don't know they are clones which if I can think of it he def would respectfully but i do agree the story although the story does need work like rn they need to fix it like rn with a big update that changes the scenes at least alil bit
I replayed arkham asylum today, such a great game. Not nearly as big a game as suicide squad but you can tell they put effort into every square inch of it. Just goes to show you don’t gotta have a massive map to have a great game and story. The atmosphere was so great as well. I’d rather take a small game with lots of meaning put into it rather than some big game that just has an ok story.
I love how they had to create a whole new form of mind control just to explain how it worked on Batman, Green Lantern, and Superman three characters that are known to be either immune to mind control or really fucking hard to mind control, pretty sure Poison Ivy, and Darkside are the some of the few Dc characters to actually hold the ability to do that, and I also love how the game literally breaks continuity several times like King Shark and Boomerang being alive
If I'm correct, it wasn't just WB Games that did this game, there was also some company called Sweet Baby Inc. It seems they have also worked on Alan Wake 2 and Spiderman 2 if I'm correct, and I'm weary of them. So just watch out for that company as well.
Ironic that Sweet Baby is there to ensure that a narrative isn’t tone deaf for “modern audiences” and yet… they had no idea who their actual audience was for this game. It’s also ironic that they’re a writers guild of sorts that’s all about diversity and inclusivity… yet are the most divisive group of people I’ve ever seen in the gaming industry. If you haven’t seen what’s happened just in the past month or so with their employees and what they’ve been saying on twitter… it’s real nasty. 😂
@@empyreumofficial6949Sweet Baby Inc just consists of woke motherfuckers that don’t give a fuck about the actual game audience and only wants to suck in the “modern audience”, which doesn’t even fucking make sense.
Asylum: PERFECT Atmosphere. It said you would be like Batmanm but it lied. Because you BECAME the Batman City: The Story is mmm. Really good. Not perfect. But compare it to the others it's really good and near perfection Origins: The Best Boss fights you'll ever experience. It'll make you want to fight Deathstroke over and over until you don't even lose health to him. Not to mention. Bane. The Goat Knight: The past games could be said to have nailed the combat. But what makes Knight's combat PERFECTION personified is that it improves how much you can bounce from one enemy to the other. At times this isn't a fight. It's a bloody massacre on their Hospital bills Ssktjl: It gave us a good Batman suit. Different version of the Comics rebirth suit. But besides that. The game was a downgrade in everything the other 4 games had perfected and needed time to make other aspects better. Glad I haven't touched ssktjl. I'll just sit back with only 2 bucks in my wallet and no gamefly to play it
fssmm , this game is gonna take a turn and start coming back lls. Although It's "live serviced" doesn't mean It won't have some overhauls here and there to fix things
thank you for making this. i was going to buy the game after seeing the trailer, but after watching this, i realized that buying this shit bucket of a game would be a big waste of time and money. like, 70 dollars for a looter-shooter this bad? i think i'll stick with Fortnite, thank you. big dissapointment, WB Games. i hope this game get removed from the market. again, thank you, rob fro making this video. love you. robmob forever.
You know what would have bine sick if the entire games plot unfolds without bruce until harleys the only suicide squad member left and she narrowly escapes superman and batman is back for one knight only
Perfectly said Rob. They broke everything that was previously built, the Arkham games are my favorite games of all time, and I would have rather have had the perfect conclusion it came to in Knight, than a new game in the same universe like this.
I was considering getting the game after I heard they were bringing back the leauge members and that Deathstroke was going to be a playable DLC, but I didn’t realize the gameplay was completely different from what I thought it was. I appreciate this video for saving me some money and sparing me the disappointment.
You know, I weirdly would've preferred if Gotham Knights was the Arkham one, and this was a new universe thing. I don't know, if Gotham Knights was just about the court of owls filling the poewer vacuum after batman's 'death', could've been cool. But you gave this game a chance and that's pretty cool
...one line? They gave Batman one line to hand-wave the whole Arkham Quadrilogy? It doesn't even make sense. He said he thought he had to push his allies away, but now realises he doesn't? That's LITERALLY THE PLOT OF ARKHAM ORIGINS. "A man cannot be an island Bruce." Did he like... forget? Why did they think wiping their ass with Arkham Batman would make fans of the Arkham series happy? It's not like they can say "you still bought the game so we got your money" because the whole point of this game is that its live service so they can keep rinsing your wallet forever with it. So you'd think they'd make sure those existing fans they've blagged over would be happy? Nothing Batman said or Rocksteady did made any sense.
I mean what did you expect with how terrible Gotham Knights was? Rocksteady are washed gaming developers and the fans of the old games needs to face reality that they're never getting another good DC game from them.
Just say that Brainiac survived by uploading his consciousness into the Skull Ship or Brother Eye and then infected Superman after he used his technology on himself and Batman.
Rob I doubt you'll see this but I'm genuinely so happy I found your channel... from your situation irl to your videos they just drew me in and I'll be a long time sub!
King shark died in assault on arkham. Damn amateurs why is h3 back and why is he stupid all of a sudden. He had a personality he was in love with killer frost.
This game shines when you have a actually squad online, also it's not comfier to be cannon (mainly because multivers and didn't mention justice league in the Arkham verse)
I’m gonna be honest, people keep asking for a justice league game, but I genuinely don’t think that’s an option. Playing a game as the justice league looks nice on paper but trust me it’s not something that would work especially if there were 5 members. Batman is human and you can make a good game from that but the others are majorly op and wouldn’t have engaging gameplay loops which would end up being marvels avengers all over again. Wonder Woman I could see maybe getting a game and it working, but flash green lantern and Superman. Hard enough on their own but all together. Yeah not happening and for good reason…
If you haven't played it before, would you consider getting the Platinum for Deathloop. Such a fun game, same team of people who made Dishonored and Prey are behind it.
An idea someone brought up to help the Batman coming back problem I liked is that he wasn’t initially on the league. The league gets formed and they get taken over by Brainiac forcing him to come out of hiding to help take them down. Then if you have the league live he joins them to make sure it doesn’t happen again
I don’t care what they say it’s not canon. We had deadshot in Arkham city and he was white lol. I mean I’m not looking too far into it but I mean come on. You can’t connect a well built trilogy to this game. I feel like it’s an elseworld game.
It IS a disgrace to DC period. Turning the Justice League into villains while making the Suicide Squad and its heartless control freak heroes? WTF, how this group ever get so popular is beyond me.
My honest feelings of this game was it scratched my borderlands itch which is somthing gearbox hasnt done since pre sequal but as arkham fan i wouldve liked somthing that isnt live service focused even if it is a fun one
8:35 seeing this after hearing from both the Arkham trilogy and the Suicide Squad: KYJL, it feels very unfinished. Rocksteady should’ve made a DLC in the link to this game
I just recently played gotham knights and that game didn't get good reviews but I enjoyed it and that feels like a proper follow-up to the arkham series compared to this game
This game surprisingly makes borderlands 3’s story feel tolerable. And that’s bad to be honest. While borderlands is a looter shooter, it actually does a lot to make the guns feel actually unique and different from each other. While with KTJL from what I can tell ‘feel free to correct me’ most guns either have fire rate or damage changes. While with borderlands 2 and onward makes the guns visually different EVEN the same legendary guns. Which opens the way for people who are collectors to farm for the best versions of each gun, but even then the base versions are still good. Meanwhile with this? I can’t tell if there’s anything to differentiate the guns from their legendary status.
You know how the connection with Batman would have made sense? Batman comes out of retirement BECAUSE of the situation in Metropolis, and he is the ONE who helps you fight the corrupted League, NOT a Wonder Woman we barely get to know in the game. But no, that would have been too obvious or, you know, good.
I just feel like I should mention this not trying to be like a sponsor or anything but the seasons do last for as long as you want them to their infinite so even if it moves on, you can do a new season and the battle pass is free in the characters that are released
as much as i really did enjoy this game, i do have to agree on your point of narrative. i really try and personally view this as an alternate-universe story, almost like a DC What If episode, so that makes me feel a little better when playing it. and if that was the case, i think a lot of people could enjoy it and appreciate it more. but having it directly linked to the events of the Arkham series just does not feel right. and this is coming from someone who thought Batman’s death scene in this game is actually pretty well done and almost poignant. like i said, i enjoy the game, but knowing that it’s *intentionally* connected to the Arkhamverse makes it kind of a hard pill to swallow.
Also in regards to this games connection to the Arkham verse, from what I've seen online at least it's just so incoherent that can it actually be cannon? From Deadshot being different to Batman joining the league after hanging up the cowl for the better of the city years ago. Like this story isn't even cohesive on it's own. It's weird.
I did the grind fun short game but the end game content was just a grind fest. I wanted to make sure I got this out of the way before the game goes under if that happens
to this day I still don't understand warner's obsession with suicide squad, in the movies and also unfortunately in games now, it's one of DC's most uninteresting teams.
I was really tempted to purchase this game but after this video im reconsitering it thank you Rob for this video it has really helped me make my decision about this game. (also love your content its amazing and has really helped my mental health so thank you for being here when i needed someone the most)
The thing is when a looter shooter is done well like borderlands or apex legends, it's absolutely fantastic and fun. Forcing this into what should have been a single player narrative focused game, it's just gross.
Appreciate you validating that others are allowed to enjoy the game instead of immediately talking down on it. Also mentioning certain people were just doing their job. It's a frustrating addition to the Arkhamverse for sure.
I hate to say it but Gotham Knights is starting to look kinda good in comparison in terms of Arkham trilogy follow up ha! Even though they may deny it, people still may think it's at least acknowledging Batman is dead and has a legacy being followed. And a lot of the missions are still very Arkham trilogy in a way, it's fascinating how hype ends up not as you think.
I'm completely fine with a suicide squad looter shooter set in the arkham verse. But instead of a Justice League plot with a whole bunch of elseworlds junk thrown in there, do a Starro, Enchantress or Legion of Doom plot (albeit some less powerful villains), keep Deadshot or switch him out with Bloodsport, have the seasonal characters be Killer Frost or Captain Cold, Kitana, Deathstroke, and then maybe have some characters we wouldn't expect to see, like Arsenal or Cheetah.
I played through this entire game and thought it was fun the only gripe i have is the lack in mission variety also bruce gives up batman but comes back as a less public figure the ghost and the justice league you fight are most likely clones
tbh not that bad, i didn’t experience a single bug or issue playing through the entire game, and i thought the story was really good as a whole besides how certain deaths were handled, i also thought the gameplay was fun, didn’t think it would be from watching videos, but actually doing it is fun as hell
@@HDS999yeah met a few who absolutely hated the game with the crowd before actually playing it & coming back to tell me how much they loved the gameplay & that wish they ain't just ride the hate train... It's definitely one of those games lol
who asked? gameplay was fun? after 9h cringe story you can only repeat 2 types of missions and grind gear. WHATS SO FUN ABOUT IT? its a live service coop game not mmorpg or multiplayer game where stats and gear matters. LMAO@@HDS999
Bruce did return to being Batman at the end of Arkham Knight. Him saying his goodbyes was a lie because they wanted the trick us into thinking that he was going to die.
Honestly I agree. These designs would be great as a justice league game. You could even use whoever the villain is as the catalyst to get Batman out of hiding. Only problem is they probably would’ve been scared off by the Tragedy that was the Avengers game
The problem with using the Arkham Batman is the Joker is locked away in his mind and if you change his mind in anyway, the joker will come out brainiac,s mind the control be damned
This is the best review i saw on this game So many RUclipsrs are jumping on this trend reviewing the suicide squad game. Next they will all jump on HellDivers trend
Something that I have always questioned since the release of this game is Why tf were the Justice league formed after Arkham knight?! It makes no sense, it would've made more since if it has been formed after events of asylum and before city, because character dynamics just dont😢 make sense.😭😭💀💀🤦♂️🤦♂️ 6:58

thank you for making this. i was going to buy the game after seeing the trailer, but after watching this, i realized that buying this shit bucket of a game would be a big waste of time and money. like, 70 dollars for a looter-shooter this bad? i think i'll stick with Fortnite, thank you. big dissapointment, WB Games. i hope this game get removed from the market. again, thank you, rob fro making this video. love you. robmob forever.
You know what would have bine sick if the entire games plot unfolds without bruce until harleys the only suicide squad member left and she narrowly escapes superman and batman is back for one knight only
One knight?
@@blackreaperkaneki9900 Sorry night english isnt my first language
7:03 Couldn't said it better myself.
They completely ruined the whole conflict in arkham knight and all of its impact.
Perfectly said Rob. They broke everything that was previously built, the Arkham games are my favorite games of all time, and I would have rather have had the perfect conclusion it came to in Knight, than a new game in the same universe like this.
I was considering getting the game after I heard they were bringing back the leauge members and that Deathstroke was going to be a playable DLC, but I didn’t realize the gameplay was completely different from what I thought it was. I appreciate this video for saving me some money and sparing me the disappointment.
You know, I weirdly would've preferred if Gotham Knights was the Arkham one, and this was a new universe thing. I don't know, if Gotham Knights was just about the court of owls filling the poewer vacuum after batman's 'death', could've been cool. But you gave this game a chance and that's pretty cool
Now let’s do a list of 10 superhero video games we all should want to happen someday
...one line? They gave Batman one line to hand-wave the whole Arkham Quadrilogy? It doesn't even make sense. He said he thought he had to push his allies away, but now realises he doesn't? That's LITERALLY THE PLOT OF ARKHAM ORIGINS. "A man cannot be an island Bruce." Did he like... forget?
Why did they think wiping their ass with Arkham Batman would make fans of the Arkham series happy? It's not like they can say "you still bought the game so we got your money" because the whole point of this game is that its live service so they can keep rinsing your wallet forever with it. So you'd think they'd make sure those existing fans they've blagged over would be happy?
Nothing Batman said or Rocksteady did made any sense.
I mean what did you expect with how terrible Gotham Knights was? Rocksteady are washed gaming developers and the fans of the old games needs to face reality that they're never getting another good DC game from them.
This video did a fantastic job of explaining the base issues and fan outcry in general.
It would have made more sense of they said it's a carry on from injustice 2 because of braniac and batman turning evil
Just say that Brainiac survived by uploading his consciousness into the Skull Ship or Brother Eye and then infected Superman after he used his technology on himself and Batman.
I wish I could speak English like this. Always happy to see you succeed Rob😊
Rob I doubt you'll see this but I'm genuinely so happy I found your channel... from your situation irl to your videos they just drew me in and I'll be a long time sub!
Im just going to pretend this is an alternate timeline where bruce became batman again and joined the justice League
King shark died in assault on arkham. Damn amateurs why is h3 back and why is he stupid all of a sudden. He had a personality he was in love with killer frost.
This game shines when you have a actually squad online, also it's not comfier to be cannon (mainly because multivers and didn't mention justice league in the Arkham verse)
Where did you get that shirt u are wearing ?
Let’s just pretend Arkham knight was the end
Very well put. Love your take on games amd can't wait to keep watching
2:55 Was that a fucking FNAF reference in an Arkham Batman game? Bro shut the studio down..
I’m gonna be honest, people keep asking for a justice league game, but I genuinely don’t think that’s an option. Playing a game as the justice league looks nice on paper but trust me it’s not something that would work especially if there were 5 members. Batman is human and you can make a good game from that but the others are majorly op and wouldn’t have engaging gameplay loops which would end up being marvels avengers all over again. Wonder Woman I could see maybe getting a game and it working, but flash green lantern and Superman. Hard enough on their own but all together. Yeah not happening and for good reason…
We should’ve gotten at least a comic book or animated movie to bridge the gap between knight and suicide squad
There is a comic, but it sucks and doesn't obey the lore at all
Rocksteady is planning on making this game offline play as well for story mode reasons. 17:41
Too late
If you haven't played it before, would you consider getting the Platinum for Deathloop. Such a fun game, same team of people who made Dishonored and Prey are behind it.
An idea someone brought up to help the Batman coming back problem I liked is that he wasn’t initially on the league. The league gets formed and they get taken over by Brainiac forcing him to come out of hiding to help take them down. Then if you have the league live he joins them to make sure it doesn’t happen again
I don’t care what they say it’s not canon. We had deadshot in Arkham city and he was white lol. I mean I’m not looking too far into it but I mean come on. You can’t connect a well built trilogy to this game. I feel like it’s an elseworld game.
It IS a disgrace to DC period. Turning the Justice League into villains while making the Suicide Squad and its heartless control freak heroes? WTF, how this group ever get so popular is beyond me.
My honest feelings of this game was it scratched my borderlands itch which is somthing gearbox hasnt done since pre sequal but as arkham fan i wouldve liked somthing that isnt live service focused even if it is a fun one
8:35 seeing this after hearing from both the Arkham trilogy and the Suicide Squad: KYJL, it feels very unfinished. Rocksteady should’ve made a DLC in the link to this game
I just recently played gotham knights and that game didn't get good reviews but I enjoyed it and that feels like a proper follow-up to the arkham series compared to this game
This game surprisingly makes borderlands 3’s story feel tolerable.
And that’s bad to be honest.
While borderlands is a looter shooter, it actually does a lot to make the guns feel actually unique and different from each other.
While with KTJL from what I can tell ‘feel free to correct me’ most guns either have fire rate or damage changes.
While with borderlands 2 and onward makes the guns visually different EVEN the same legendary guns.
Which opens the way for people who are collectors to farm for the best versions of each gun, but even then the base versions are still good.
Meanwhile with this? I can’t tell if there’s anything to differentiate the guns from their legendary status.
You know how the connection with Batman would have made sense? Batman comes out of retirement BECAUSE of the situation in Metropolis, and he is the ONE who helps you fight the corrupted League, NOT a Wonder Woman we barely get to know in the game. But no, that would have been too obvious or, you know, good.
Would’ve solved 80% of my issue with the narrative lol
I just feel like I should mention this not trying to be like a sponsor or anything but the seasons do last for as long as you want them to their infinite so even if it moves on, you can do a new season and the battle pass is free in the characters that are released
Hey @IAmRob, have you ever consider trying borderlands? just a curious question
You know the game is objectively garbage when the people that actually like looter shooters say that it's not even a good at being a looter shooter.
your chat when ivy was shown is insane lmao
as much as i really did enjoy this game, i do have to agree on your point of narrative. i really try and personally view this as an alternate-universe story, almost like a DC What If episode, so that makes me feel a little better when playing it. and if that was the case, i think a lot of people could enjoy it and appreciate it more. but having it directly linked to the events of the Arkham series just does not feel right. and this is coming from someone who thought Batman’s death scene in this game is actually pretty well done and almost poignant. like i said, i enjoy the game, but knowing that it’s *intentionally* connected to the Arkhamverse makes it kind of a hard pill to swallow.
Also in regards to this games connection to the Arkham verse, from what I've seen online at least it's just so incoherent that can it actually be cannon? From Deadshot being different to Batman joining the league after hanging up the cowl for the better of the city years ago. Like this story isn't even cohesive on it's own. It's weird.
Could you possibly do Horizon Forbidden West or Frontiers of Pandora
Saved my money bro. I appreciate it.
the only thing that will save the series is a red hood revenge plot
I love how this game made people play more Arkham knight
12:21 tara strong’s Harley voice is REALLY BAD it only got worse over the years
When are you going to play rdd2?
i think he is editing the video so i think he will soon
@@games_story176thanks! Can’t wait for it!
same@@maarten.123
I did the grind fun short game but the end game content was just a grind fest. I wanted to make sure I got this out of the way before the game goes under if that happens
This game would be so much better if it wasn’t in the Arkham series
to this day I still don't understand warner's obsession with suicide squad, in the movies and also unfortunately in games now, it's one of DC's most uninteresting teams.
It really is weird how much they are trying to force suicide squad down our throats.
It’s strange to me as well. It would’ve been like Marvel Studios releasing Guardians of the Galaxy over Avengers 😂
I was really tempted to purchase this game but after this video im reconsitering it thank you Rob for this video it has really helped me make my decision about this game. (also love your content its amazing and has really helped my mental health so thank you for being here when i needed someone the most)
If this game ends up flopping, I mean, the developers could retcon it from the arkham universe
suicide squad: kill the arkham verse
The thing is when a looter shooter is done well like borderlands or apex legends, it's absolutely fantastic and fun. Forcing this into what should have been a single player narrative focused game, it's just gross.
People keep throwing rocksteady under the bus but if we all know rocksteady they will give us something huge
As I like to call it, The Fodder Squad 🥶🥶🥶 Harley tho 🥵
This is one of the few games where even the fans of this game called it trash
Found your channel 3 months ago and now I wanna see Crash bandicoot series platinum Relics run, yes crash 4s purple Relics as well
Appreciate you validating that others are allowed to enjoy the game instead of immediately talking down on it. Also mentioning certain people were just doing their job. It's a frustrating addition to the Arkhamverse for sure.
Can someone count the amount of times he said looter shooter
Wish they remastered origins instead of making this game tbh
Why would they remaster a game they didn't make
@@Texasvu would have been better than this shitty product they dropped for 70 dollars 💀
I hate to say it but Gotham Knights is starting to look kinda good in comparison in terms of Arkham trilogy follow up ha! Even though they may deny it, people still may think it's at least acknowledging Batman is dead and has a legacy being followed. And a lot of the missions are still very Arkham trilogy in a way, it's fascinating how hype ends up not as you think.
I'm completely fine with a suicide squad looter shooter set in the arkham verse. But instead of a Justice League plot with a whole bunch of elseworlds junk thrown in there, do a Starro, Enchantress or Legion of Doom plot (albeit some less powerful villains), keep Deadshot or switch him out with Bloodsport, have the seasonal characters be Killer Frost or Captain Cold, Kitana, Deathstroke, and then maybe have some characters we wouldn't expect to see, like Arsenal or Cheetah.
I just saw you on VideoGameDonkey Recent video! You’re big time now!! ❤️ so proud of you! 😊
I played through this entire game and thought it was fun the only gripe i have is the lack in mission variety also bruce gives up batman but comes back as a less public figure the ghost and the justice league you fight are most likely clones
It was painful just watching you play, can't imagine actually playing it.
tbh not that bad, i didn’t experience a single bug or issue playing through the entire game, and i thought the story was really good as a whole besides how certain deaths were handled, i also thought the gameplay was fun, didn’t think it would be from watching videos, but actually doing it is fun as hell
@@HDS999people just need to give it a try themselves, story isn’t over over yet! We still have so many seasons before the story is finished.
@@HDS999yeah met a few who absolutely hated the game with the crowd before actually playing it & coming back to tell me how much they loved the gameplay & that wish they ain't just ride the hate train... It's definitely one of those games lol
who asked? gameplay was fun? after 9h cringe story you can only repeat 2 types of missions and grind gear. WHATS SO FUN ABOUT IT? its a live service coop game not mmorpg or multiplayer game where stats and gear matters. LMAO@@HDS999
I platinumed it and loved it
wish we saw justice league vs braniac or jl vs Darkseid. That would've been a happy conclusion to the arkham verse.
Are you planning on platinuming Arkham origins ? Or are the dlcs getting in the way of that
I think its because there is no online servers . And there are multiplayer trophies tied to it. But he may do something else for it .
I haven’t played Batman I feel like I really messed up on that. Does it still play well on Ps5 I believe it’s on sale rn
Bruce did return to being Batman at the end of Arkham Knight. Him saying his goodbyes was a lie because they wanted the trick us into thinking that he was going to die.
Honestly I agree. These designs would be great as a justice league game. You could even use whoever the villain is as the catalyst to get Batman out of hiding. Only problem is they probably would’ve been scared off by the Tragedy that was the Avengers game
The problem with using the Arkham Batman is the Joker is locked away in his mind and if you change his mind in anyway, the joker will come out brainiac,s mind the control be damned
Missed opportunity bro!! 10:26 You MEANT, the GODDAMN Batman! 😂😂
This is the best review i saw on this game
So many RUclipsrs are jumping on this trend reviewing the suicide squad game. Next they will all jump on HellDivers trend
wanted to see you try beat sekiro. apart from selecting hardest mode, there are also 2 other items in the story that makes the game even harder
I’ve actually been loving this game. It’s fun to just chill and shoot things. I love the way the characters play, and I love the rng aspect of it.
Something that I have always questioned since the release of this game is Why tf were the Justice league formed after Arkham knight?! It makes no sense, it would've made more since if it has been formed after events of asylum and before city, because character dynamics just dont😢 make sense.😭😭💀💀🤦♂️🤦♂️ 6:58
Love your content, Rob.Your review is spot on this diabolical game
