Nah, devs disrespected Gotham Knights Batman by killing him twice in the same game. Arkham Batman was at least respected by Rocksteady: he wasn't killed at all. Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League wins no diff for me.
@@rodarolladaso, your saying him going out like a chump by a c list character on bench when he took out an entire army on his own? While gotham knights portrayed batman more of a hero, even when he died twice he was givin a heroic death when suicide squad treat it like a joke
@@Shrukin9000 Knightfall protocol. He said his "Goodbyes" captures all active threats in Gothom and said his final goodbyes, trusting all future to gordon and the others, Even Catwomen. Then as his finale Blows up Wayne manor. Of course hes actually still active, I guess Orginally Nightfall protocol was made to be his final end, but he changed it when he found how effective Scarecrows latest toxin was so he instead hid away and uses the fear toxin to remain active while being dead.
Arkham Knight Batman did go out fighting actually - Took out hundreds of unmanned tanks in a few hours - Lowered the blast radius of Scarecrow's bomb - Defused a bomb collar around Catwoman's neck and took down Riddler after collecting a total of 243 trophies - Destroyed all of Penguin's weapon caches and apprehended Penguin himself - Stopped multiple bank robberies then captured Two Face - Took down multiple militia watchtowers, checkpoints, and bombs they had placed around the city and took down Deathstroke afterwards, this caused the militia to skip town - Apprehended Harley and the Joker infected (Even though the Joker infected were killed later on) - Apprehended Killer Croc, took down the League of Assassins, took down Mad Hatter, and helped Freeze save his wife - Stopped Firefly from reducing Gotham to ash - Prevented Pyg from turning any more people into dollotrons - Unmasked the Arkham Knight - Saved Barbara from falling off a building - Stopped an all out assault on G.C.P.D - Defeated Hush -Saved Ryder from being sacrificed by a crazy immortal preacher - Conquered Scarecrow's fear gas and used it against him, saving Robin and Gordon in the process He did all of this in one night (please note, I said Arkham Knight Batman, not Batman from that disappointing SS game)
I was hopeful in Suicide Squad kill the justice league to wash off the taste of Gotham Knights. They instead made me appreciate the old Arkham games and consider Gotham Knights to be good.
Would you belive me If I said that I picked it up + Orginis after it? (+ it was less than 10$) Don't get me wrong. It is still bad but... in comperason it might as well be a game of the year.
I dont really play alot of shooter so after tweaking the sskyjl for like a week in my opinion i rather play that then ever touch gotham knights again 😭
@@deadpool5928Gotham Knight is the game u let ur lil brother play when u dong want him to mess with ur Arkham playthrough “ here little man play this, its way more fun look at all the fortnite costumes u can get” 😭🤣
There’s some bad things about it for sure, but I tend to agree. The problem was Arkham Knight set the bar so high for the combat system that when I played Gotham Knights it just felt so mediocre from both a combat and game physics when driving the bikes standpoint. Even Batgirls gliding feels awkward.
Gonna have to go with Gotham Knights here (not that it's a good game) because at least it's not a humiliation ritual that constantly has to disrespect everyone's favorite Hero's and they at least killed Batman off with respect.
You trippin'. They killed Batman twice (TWICE) in the same game in Gotham Knights. And they didn't kill Batman at all in Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League.
@@rodarollada you're high, they killed batman like a SICK PUPPY in SS and they had batman actually fight and sacrifice himself with respect in Gotham knights
Gotham knights. At least that game actually feels like a superhero game. Looter shooters do not belong in the superhero genre. You ain’t convincing me otherwise
so using a fortnite glider is considered a superhero game? Tf are you on about. Either of them are superhero games, both are trash. But SSKTJL is a lot more fluid and buttery smooth and had a much better enjoyment playing that than whatever gotham knights is. Gotham Knights is so boring and dull that I couldn't be bothered to finish it. SSKTJL is overall much better game. You don't even get 60fps on PS5 support which the game was made for the PS5. That is completely unacceptable meanwhile SSKTJL runs 4K60FPS beautifully.
@@LucienHaulotte eh idk superhero looter shooters/live service games have kinda been proven at this point to not work. Avengers, Gotham knights, suicide squad all failed. In my opinion they work way better as a solo player experience.
At First I had a lot of Mixed Feelings about Gotham Knights but after witnessing the God Awful CW Version as a Heartless Cash Grab and how Insulting SSKTJL was, I have to give. Tons of Credit to the Gotham Knights Game as despite its Flaws it respects the Lore and Characters, you feel the Characters playing as Unique in Combat, has Emotional and Heartwarming Moments, it was Made by Passionate People who loved the Bat Family and DC, and you feel the Risks of making this Game and to be in its Own Unique, it’s one of those things that we Took for Granted and I wish it had more DLC and Updates.
Did you even play Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League??? It's a masterpiece, but because of stoppid pricing policies of WB Games (they didn't even set the regional prices on Steam, shame on them!!!) and people like you jumping on the hate train, SSSTJL is most likely going to die, if the Joker season doesn’t bring in a new audience on March 28, 2024, of course. Gotham Knights was (and is) kinda bland. I pre-purchased both Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights, by the way. Gotham Knights is just... sterile, you know. Dunno, why the author of the video gave it a point for characters because it wasn't a strong point of the game. Heck, Gotham Knights felt like a downgrade even comparing it to Arkham Origins. I hope WB Games Montreal learned some lessons and will make their next game (Gotham Knights 2???) a better experience. Although no, WB Games is unhappy with their AAA release sellings, there won't be Gotham Knights 2. I hope they at least allow us to kill all 13 Brainiacs and save the Justice League before the game shut down. I'm not trying to diss WB Games Montreal. It's not their fault their game is not as good as it could be. it seems to me that the publisher just spared money. Like we all know the unfinished and canceled Batgirl movie case. Warner Bros. doesn't have money, it needs money. That's why the only post-release content we got are two content updates with reusing the same three bosses from the main story (Freeze, Quinn and Clayface) and some grindy co-op mode levels with escorting Starro at the end. Didn't play the final, second update, though, but I heard they were also reusing the same three bosses there. TLDR. WB Games Montreal has to learn how to make characters better and not so sterile, maybe they will improve with their next game. Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League > Gotham Knights any day of the week. Rocksteady is cooking. The villain here is the publisher, WB Games, which depends on investors because it is on the verge of bankruptcy. Warner Bros. just doesn't have money. That's why we got the whole Sweet Baby Inc. deal. And that's why both games were set to be released as a live service model (they canceled it for Gotham Knights though).
Totally agree. The Squad game should have played more like Team Fortress 2 IMO. Each character being a specialized style of combat and gameplay. While strong in some aspects, the are weaker in others and that's why you need a well balanced team to win. Example: King Shark should be The Heavy, which a focus on being a tank. Cap Boomerang, should be the Spy (like he was in the comics) with a speciality in stealth and infiltration. Deadshot is obviously the sniper. Harley is small arms and melee attacks. How much more fun would this game be versus the crap we saw in Kill the Justice League? A game like this would REQUIRE more variety of enemy types, and scenarios to create a Squad that would succeed.
The thing that makes me saddest is that with all the push back and rage at Gotham Knights we might never see a more polished version of it cause a couple additions to transversal and combat and the game could really come up
The difference Gotham Knights, despite its flaws didn't feel like a giant middle finger to the fans or people who actually understand the Characters. Example. Captain Boomerang. He would be the LAST person to piss on the Flash. Being a member of The Rogues, while villians, they had a strict honor code. If anything, Cap Boomerang would be the first to kick the snot out of anyone attempting to disrespect the body of the Flash with all the history and respect these characters had in their history. That also is what ticks me off about Arkham Harley. With the history of Batman and Harley, there is no way she would treat Batman like that in the end with that speech. If anything, if you MUST kill Batman in the same way for this game. It should feel like putting down a mad dog. You don't want to do it, but you know it needs to be done. What would have been more fitting is Batman having contingency plans to keep fighting even when under mind control but in the end even Batman knows he can't win. So as one last act of heroism he regains control of his mind long enough to try to bind Batman's brain to Brainiacs and if Batman dies, Brainiac would lose a great portion of his powers. He would ask Harley to kill him in one last act of sacrifice. The result would be weakening Brainiac to a level that the Suicide Squad and the world can actually win in a fight.
@@DudiReviews I would also add that the gameplay was also a major failure in this game. I bought this game thinking it was going to be similar to other squad style games like Team Fortress 2. Instead we have all the characters of the Squad be shooters. It would have been so much better if they did copy Team Fortress. Example. King Shark being the Heavy tank brute focused on melee and absorbing damage. Deadshot would be a Sniper combat style. Boomerang would be a great infiltration type of player sneaking in and sabotaging. Harley would be demolition, small arms, and melee. The game I bought (yes I bought this turd of a game) is all the same class and no enemy variety. The charm of Team Fortress was there was no single player or class that could solo win. You needed to work as a team to win. That is what is lacking so badly in this game.
im part of the rare group of people that enjoyed playing the game, I think the traversal, combat and shooting is insanely fun and the gameplay keeps me coming back for more. But the story was one giant shitshow. Arkham Batman was heavily disrespected. If anything, I don't understand how he succumbed to brainiac's mind control that easily. Batman is extremely smart and perfected perfect mental and physical attributes so there's no way he would've been compromised that easily, especially if he withstood all that fear toxin and immune to majority of poisons in the world and has a cure for it. Also how did flash and wonder woman survive but batman couldn't. If anything I expected batman to counter the effects to save the justice league. Its always batman saving the others from compromise but him being compromised, breaking his no kill code, and going on a full rampage was terrifying. Not to mention how he got caught out of nowhere with that stupid fear toxin boss fight just to be a helpless guinea pig for lex at the end and then disposed off. He could've easily escaped. I have a feeling he didn't die. Because brainiac didn't react. He will come back soon.
@@the-ironclad I bought the game as well and hated it. The gameplay was dull to me. The animation in the cut scenes were really well done but the lack of understanding of the core characters broke any investment I had in the game.
@@DudiReviews, yeah, the graphics is impeccable. But it's because it's always night, all Rocskeady needed to do is to nail the night atmosphere. If you look at the Gotham City in the morning (in the Nightwing DLC story mission), you'll see it doesn't look so good when night is over.
Arkham City is the GOAT, Lego DC Super-Villains is kinda cool, but Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League isn't a bad game at all!!! It just needs some time to Rocksteady fix its issues and drop new story bits. WB Games went too hard at killing the game while at the same time they needed it as a lifebuoy because their ship is sinking.
I am playing Arkham City and the Lego Batman series for the first time now. I recently played through Arkham Asylum and IMO it was THE definitive Batman experience. Suicide Squad from what I have seen of it is trash, I am glad that I didn't buy that monstrosity. Gotham Knights looks average
they added two of the challenge modes where you go through 15 challenging floors - but they've not really added anything else. the challenges aren't bad though
Yeah, they were planning to release two live service games back in 2020, if I recall correctly. But then they got rid of all the live service stuff in Gotham Knights, and that's why it feels like it feels: empty. But in case with Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League, WB Games decided to stand by their decision on the live service model to the end.
My opinion is always that Gotham Knights should have been Arkhamverse, and Suicide Squad most definitely should have not (because clearly they didn't even try to keep consistency). Gotham Knights had different takes on some characters, but if Batman had just disappeared/retired like in Arkham Knight, it could have just followed that story. Both would have been better for it imo.
@@lolbitandftfoxysayhello6262 It's not complaining if they are totally justified. The game is garbage people have a right to be pissed. I mean a franchise they loved and grew up with was disrespected. People aren't mad because the Justice League died it's how they died that has people mad. This is the Justice League we're talking about they deserve better than bullets and girl boss speeches. If you're going to kill off the Justice League at least make it interesting.
@@lolbitandftfoxysayhello6262 I would've preferred a Superman game that would've been fun. But Warner Bros. hates Superman so we'll probably never get a Superman game.
Its unquestionably Gotham Knights and for many reasons but its also in my top 3 Superhero games of the last 5 years. It deserved a lot more love, people treated it like a live service that lacked content when in reality it was complete at launch.
But it IS basically a live service game that lacked content. Yeah, WB Games moved from the decision to release two live service model games, but you still can see the live service remains in Gotham Knights.
@@rodarollada yet it is NOT a live service game but a superhero game with the full package. WB didn't want to have live service after the avengers failed and you cant see any of it in the game
When it comes to Suicids Squad story, we might not ever get a finished story if not enough people care to buy the add ons. After all, games like Anthem were suppposed to last for a long time but was dead by the year. Avengers barely gave out what they promised and was just the same missions over and over again(just like suicide squad). Games as a service only live as long as people throw money into the service, but games by design are ment to end
the most amusing thing with harley quinn is seeing how Gotham Knights makes her work so much more than Suicide Squad, especially when they have the same prison design and its so apparent the ESG soaked design of SS over GK
Gotham Knights felt superior when compared to SSKTJL. Both games aren’t the best but at least I feel that Gotham Knights had its own unique story while SSKTJL mainly seemed to use the fact it’s somehow connected to the Arkham games as a way to bring people in. After I killed flash in that I just gave up on this game. Gotham knights is repetitive but at least I felt it was pretty interesting as showing us a Gotham where Batman isn’t there and the bat family are taking care of Gotham City
I clicked off when they game the gameplay point to suicide squad. Gotham knights wasn’t the best but at least the bat family wasn’t running around shooting generic guns with skins that cost 20 dollars
@@DudiReviewsi agree with him tbh you were a litttle biased ignoring that suicide squad felt more like a fortnite game than its own game, atleast gotham knights tried to make its own inspired arkahm combat without copy pasting it, and the characters are each different from each others, Plus you overrated the world of suicide squad, metropolis looks bland and uninspired, has no colors, attachment nor memorable places to look at, while gotham knights had a pretty nice lively city to look at, sure it feels empty, but suicide squad's map feels even emptied because the missions has 0 variety, the boss fights are all the same and metropolis is garbage So would and gameplay goes to gotham knights Now shelf life, after season 1, i retract that point it i was you, it was HORRENDOUSLY bad with the joker needing a huge ass grind or pay 10 dollar teehee ass season And for the graphics suicide squad has great facial animation with 0 substance nor style, atleast Gotham knights, not having that luxury looks much more colourful, I hugely disagree with your video and i just believe it was hype bias for suicide squad since it was a fresh game
Gotham Knights was not nearly as bad as people say it was. It was different than the status quo and that's why it was hated. SSKTJL on the other hand is a dumpster fire on all fronts.
Its weird because youd think gotham knights *might*have even been in better hands with rocksteady, as it plays much closer to the arkham formula. And SS we just really dont need and no one asked for.
While I can't speak on how either Gotham Knights, or Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, play as a game(I haven't played either of them), when it comes to showing respect to characters, Gotham Knights wins overall. Batman's death was handled much, much better. Character moments that each of the Bat family members have are good. The way Harley Quinn was depicted was much better, especially with how she stands on her own. I liked the depiction of Clayface, with how disillusioned he is. And the Batman audio logs are great, with 'Father and Grayson' probably being my favorite. Though, after looking at all the cutscenes where Red Hood is the player character, Gotham Knights feels more like it was meant to be a Red Hood game, with the rest of the Knights being secondary protagonists.
You didn't play the games. I played. And I can say that they disrespected Batman only in Gotham Knights by killing him twice in the same game!! TWICE! In Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League, the Batman wasn't killed at all. And you are guys hating the masterpiece on your hate train for some reason. How you can even dare to place a mid game by WB Games Montreal above the masterpiece by Rocksteady Studios who gave us the all-time classic, Arkham Trilogy!!! You brazy, guys!
For me Gotham knights is a better game sure is not the Arkham games but I enjoyed it for what it was it has a little bit of Arkham it in it with its own style of gameplay and melee attacks with every character feeling like they own and sure it wasn't perfect like the story and combat but they treated Batman with respect sacrificing himself for his family and for the people of Gotham they didn't feel the same unlike The Suicide Squad game and an open world able to go anywhere you want without your head being explode but I really enjoyed Gotham nights my 2 favorite missions were Clayface and Mr Freeze so this is how I rate them Gotham knights 7/10 Suicide Squad kill the justice league 5/10 I just didn't like it everything about the game bothered me it should have been a Justice League game or a new Batman Arkham game
Its a given that Gotham Knights treated its characters better especially Batman, however in S.Squad its not only Batman but all the male members were treated like shit, only Wonder Woman was treated properly, i recall that both games had the Sweet Baby touch but i think it was more heavy influenced in S.Squad hence the treatment of the male league members. Also i think Knights was also suppose to be a Live Service game but abandoned yet couldnt do much to change what was done hence the RPG mechanics, so one abandoned and one stuck with the Live Service idea.
Dc when a Batman story has nothing to do with the Joker: put the Joker in this Dc when a Batman story has everyone’s character arc revolve around the Joker: you are not allowed to even mention the Joker
It blows my mind that you don’t have more subs and views man. Your videos are quality and I can tell they take a while to make. Keep it up man. New win here.
Gotham knights Is fixable Give me an hour and I could had some good changes Suicide Squad is flawed conceptually Let’s all go play Lego DC Super Villans instead!!
I wish that the universes were flipped for these games where we got the bat family vs the court of owls and no league of shadows in the Arkham universe, where the court decide now is the time to strike since Batman is gone, and Suicide squad was it’s own universe and didn’t have to unceremoniously kill off a beloved version of an even more beloved character and undo the final story arc of Batman
I think SSKTJL could’ve pulled it off being irreverent but: 1) the squad had to be shown as murderous a-holes a lot more that way they can still be murderous a-holes after boss fights 2) any time they tried to get an emotional reaction, one time is very forced, that all had to go (except the tribute) 3) all the political messages had to be removed I get that the devs or SBI were concerned about gun laws and the environment but the Suicide Squad is not they’re murderous a-holes. The only other way is to tone the entire thing down. Have them put the Justice League in those human hamster balls keep them locked up. So it would have had to be completely irreverent like nothing matters so we can understand that properly, or it does matter so don’t insult the customers.
Gotham Kinghts. Not even a competition. All the issues that are in that game is in Suicide Squad but even worse and at least Batan was respected in that one. Yeah it's not much but at this point....
Batan (sic) wasn't even respected in your own comment. You don't know what you are talking about. They killed Bruce Wayne TWICE in the same game in Gotham Knights.THIS is disrespectful! And they didn't kill Batman at all in Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League. This is respectful!
@@rodarolladaThey DIDN'T!? Are you insane or blind? Didn't you saw the cutsceen? Tide down and guned down helpelessly as hes lifes work was meaningless dieing just like how hes parents did? And before that they constantly were making fun of him on every turn. No sir! YOU don't know what you are taliking about!
they charged a $70 price tag, the game is allowed to be judged as is, it would inly be forgiveable if the price wasnt so abysmal, no one should have to pay wxtra money to finish a story for a game they already payed for
I think Gotham Knights had an overall better story but Suicide Squad is better in terms of the fun you get out of it. Especially when playing with friends.
I think it works well as a co op just makes sense but they should have let you have ai teammates sense the game really stresses teamwork in certain areas with some skills only working if you have a co op player and sense no one plays the game it’s hard to accomplish that
Yeah they’re both ass but at least with Gotham Knights you can tell at bare minimum the devs love the characters n the world of DC and that shows in game while SS? Yeah they couldn’t even respect the universe they wanted it to be in.
Couple of corections, fiirst the combat in gotham knigth is not like arkham, you have light and strong attacks, you have perfects attack that change the animations and flow, you have grapels, you have range attacks ligh and strong, you have stamina bar abilities that funtions as counters and you have dodge and perfect dodges with a counter. Each knigth is diferent in how it feel when playing a example red hood is the only one that have perfect range attacks and robin is the one with inverted take downs you have a sonar that funtions as a predator vision in the stealth secctions, the city has npc, comun crimes and diferent types of big crymes like kidnappig or court bases, bike races, etc. You can fix the transversal with mods, more speed in the bike and all the knights something that you cant do in a live service game. And to end i can always play the game if i want to, but SS when the servers end service it will be the end o the game (i know they promise a offline mode but with a player base so small y doubt they wiil be new things apart of the dlc that is already done like the joker)
still all trash, the traversal in SSKTJL is much better. Its hard to master but once you do, its so rewarding to move around the city. Also using traversal attacks combining it with guns and melees to traversal transitions make the game so much more fun. You gotta play the game to understand it. The game is super fun and I had way more enjoyment out of it than I did playing Gotham Knights. If Rocksteady made Gotham Knights and fixed the traversal and combat and stealth, it would've been fire and a much better game than SSKTJL
YEAH OFC it doesnt feel like its trying to be an arkham game BECAUSE its NOT an arkham game it was supposed to be an arkham game but WB took over and they WANTED THE GAME TO BE DIFFERENT BUT BAD THHATS WHY THE FOUNDERS OF THE COMPANY LEFT SO OFC ITS GONNA BE DIFFERENT DIFFERENCE DOESNT ALWAYS MEAN GOOD, gotham knights atleast tried to do what they could with it and since it wasnt arkham related it was fine and the gameplay atleast had some combos in it which was somewhat fun COMPARED TO SUICIDE SQUAD KILLS ROCKSTEADY
obviously gotham knights is better than suicide squad wtf.......in fact gotham knights is kinda underrated, there is literally no redeeming quality in suicide squad the game....maybe just seeing flash in something other than injustice is cool and that's it.
@@laughing_arbiter I wish I was exaggerating, but that rockem sockem combat style in Arkham games makes you just go through the motions. Still challenge like dance dance revolution or guitar hero, but you don’t have to setup moves you just press a button and teleport to who’s ever closest. In Gotham knights you have to avoid certain enemies or know what momentum abilities/elemental to use on them. Also Arkham doesn’t have different characters just different animations.
Also considering David Zaslav, the CEO of WB has been on absolute rip and tear of canceling and removing failed projects, i honestly doubt SSKTJL will ever be complete. I can see WB releasing whatever DLC they currently have and being moving on. WB left Gotham Knights to ROT and it appears to have been more successful (as far as we the consumer can see).
Why do people want Gotham Knights to be an Arkham game just because it "takes inspiration", and meanwhile they don't have the same energy for Insomniac Spiderman who uses WAY more Arkham-like mechanics. People act like they want more soul and care put into games, but then it's almost like a 50/50 split of people preferring the completely soulless, lackadaisical Fortnite ripoff combat system of SSKTJJ. At least Gotham Knights is actually a fighting game and not a cheap shooter.
While I did have issues with Gotham Knights, I appreciated 2 things. 1. They gave the other heroes time to shine. While I LOVED the arkham games I wasn't always a fan of Batman in the Arkham games. The only one where I actually kind of liked batman as a character was in Origins. Every other entry I felt NOTHING towards him. I cared more for Jason Todd and Tim Drake in this game then I have in the last 10 years as a VERY casual DC fan. 2. For the first time in the game I felt like a comic book vigilante. Arkham games previously had a reason why the area you were in was not 'living', it was a asylum, an open air prison, a city in the midst of a snow storm, a city evacuated as a result of terrorist attack, this one you could find people wondering about. When you stopped crimes the cops would come and investigate and if they SAW you, they would try to arrest you. The gotham PD was CORRUPT and you had to sometimes stop THEM from harming civillians. You could even watch the cops come on the scene after you busted up a gang and tied them up, look at them go 'who the heck did this!?' and then fly off into the night like a Batman-style vigilante WOULD. It was a great feeling. While there was many issues with Gotham knights that was one thing they did RIGHT and hope continues into any future Arkham like games.
I'm enjoying Gotham Knights as a standalone game. I haven't finished Arkham Knight yet. I want to check out suicide squad but need to do it when it goes on sale. I do believe Arkham Knight is the best out of all three. But if we don't compare them, they are decent games on their own.
Yeah each game has something cool about it. Whether it's traversal, story or combat There's a complete Arkham retrospective on the channel too if you want more batman mate
To me Gotham Knights feels like the true continuing chapter of Arkham knight I’m on its side 100% because for one it did Batman’s death so much better he died a hero if a super hero has to die they die sacrificing themselves to save the day like Superman did when he first battled doomsday Suicide Squad can eat shit
Amazing video and About the villains: Two face,Anarky,Riddler,Mad Hatter,Black Mask and Killer Croc they exist in this universe and there were supposed to be more dlcs and they appear as dlcs villains in this first game and I left the Scarecrow,Catwoman,Scarface/Ventriloquist,Deathstroke,Deathshot,Victor Zas,Ivy Poison and the Joker for the second game as the Mains and Secondary villains of the game not counting Talia herself as the secret villain or she for a third game and yes I prefer Gotham Knights more than the garbage that was Suicide Squad 🤔😌👍like and Bye!
I haven't played any of them, but I have seen a Nightwing playthrough of Gotham Knights, and I really liked it 😊 But Suicide Squad, I have not seen a playthrough, but I know the main story. And it's not good, I have played the Arkham games so I'm also mad about what they did to Batman
Suicide Squad is objectively a better game. Plus even if you just want a multiplayer experience Suicide Squad offers a better one, can't even have a 4 player team in Gotham Knights... Don't even mention those levels that no one played.
Suicide Squad: Batman's Legacy wasn't passed on Gotham Knights: Batman's Legacy is Passed on to his Students. His students became symbols of Hope in Gotham
Nah, you missed the grind, the anti-consumer Tactics and the awful connectivity issues. Those also affect the experience, and SS ruined all of those. GK was absolutely mediocre, while SS is actively harmful by its anti-consumer antics, and a favorite for worst game of the year.
Im still mad the in gotham knights all the villains are still out their All we accomplished was getting bruce back then watching him die again And revelaing to the world the court of the owls which was somehow easy for a secret organization of 100+ years I hate gotham knights, you basically end up at the beginning Suicide squad at least gives us hope in the justice league coming back sicne flash was confirmed to be a clone But ghe inconsistency and character changes are trash I enjoyed the gameplay but everything bad over powers it I enjoyed the group dynamic of both teams and how they grow Everything else is trash I would prefer suicide squad over gotham knights cause i feel it was more of a game then gotham knights I had to even install mods on gotham knights to play like a game, it was clunky and slow
GK easily. GK is a superhero game that had its flaws…..and SSKTJL is a looter shooter that features superheroes and villains. GK batman died fighting and SSTKTJL died on a park bench.
The online in ss has been a much better experience than Gotham knights. In Gotham knights it seemed like if I was more than 50 meters away from someone then my game would crash. And let’s not forget the low fps cap for Gotham knights
Idc what people say I love Gotham knights and suicide squad 100+ hours in each I have played the Arkham series and love those too. But people don’t like GK and SSKtJL? I thought the fact that it was different was better
I never played Gotham Knights, but I will admit that the story did have potential. Batman went out with dignity. And the characters had great chemistry together. The game itself was bland, but I kept watching cutscenes and liked some of them. Especially the message Bruce was trying to make but gets interrupted by the Bat Family.
Okay tell me if I am wrong. Insted of Gotham knights what if we had Arkham knights, hear me out. It would take place right after Bruce faked his death and he don’t go fight crime anymore. So he is the batcave/other base, telling the knights what to do? Sound good or nah
@@DudiReviews yes, every single time I upgraded my gear and weapons the enemy just got stronger. I haven’t even gotten 30% of the actual story done yet. I got the game earlier this year because I have PS plus. I just suck.😂😭
Gotta respectfully disagree with you on the world decision. I actually think they both fail rather equally on that. Gotham Knights was drab and boring and yes always rainy but placing yourself in the shoes of the brood squad I found it fitting to just perch and watch for cop lights and then respond while I was simultaneously gathering that bs intel to start the next mission. Suicide squad was bright and had color and that’s all I really noticed it didn’t seem better still had busy work to do but making the city brighter doesn’t change that I spent 90% of time on rooftops doing the same thing… maybe I’m biased and I will admit that I had a co-op player for knights and couldn’t convince anyone to play squad wit me so idk maybe I just felt more burdened with squad plus it’s gameplay loop pissed me off. But I didn’t feel like the world was more lively or involved actually the only thing I remember was Lois lane somehow getting a camera feed to live stream everywhere and yeah that’s def diff from knights but idk how it’s better. It didn’t add anything for me. There was no place in squad that I was like whoa can’t wait to see what that is idk just me
Gotham Knights, because with that game I only felt underwhelmed, while with Suicide Squad I felt sad, offended, angry, and confused. Gotham Knights was more respectful. Also, live service games with microtransactions are getting REALLY annoying after all these years, as they often taint pre-existing franchises with greed, as well as lead to stories with a lack of a solid resolution.
I think they both get pretty stale pretty fast but at least Gotham Knights has the benefit of all the characters having unique dialogue and actually different scenes in the story. That makes it have replay value at the very least even if you didn’t enjoy it THAT much. There is legit NO reason to continue Suicide squad after you beat the story. All you’re doing is grinding specific gear sets after that and replaying the same 2-3 missions. It’s a joke of a live service game. Avengers had the exact same issue, same enemies, same objectives, same looking map. It just doesn’t have the energy Destiny brings as a live service.
Wanna know what's sad? At the end of Origins and Blackgate it teased Amanda Waller recruiting death stroke Bronze Tyger and Deadshot to the suicide squad meaning WB Games Montreal were gonna make Suicide Squad and Rocksteady was gonna make Another Arkham Game. But i heard that they switched projects or idk Not to mention Sweet baby inc was apart of this which explains some decisions ig
@@DudiReviews yeah, what sucks that Suicide Squad was in the works since 2010 and got shelved in 2016. And we were also gonna have Katana and Harley and they were gonna have Arkham like Grappling mechanic i think
Suicide Squad being a live service game kills any shelf life it might have. 5-10 years from now (or sooner) when the servers are taken down Suicide Squad will be unplayable whereas Gotham Knights can still be fired up. Knights feels like WB Montreal were at least trying to tell a story that the fans would enjoy. KTJL feels like Rocksteady wanted their own Fortnight cash grab. Gotham Knights may not be a great game, but it easily better than Suicide Squad.
I actually wanted to play both of these bc i found them cheap. I was going to go with Suicide Squad since it won from the video but after reading the comments it seems like most say Gothan Knights. Eh, its only $15 so ill give Gotham Knights a chance.
Gotham Knights has a ton of enemy variety, and all of them has different designs, fight pattern, weaknesses, etc. I would chose GK over SSKTJL any day. GK is not a great game, it's painfully mediocre, but SS is outright bad. XD GK also has a lots of mission variety. And while the open world can be quite dull at times, at leat they have insanely well crafted set pieces. All the characters in GK play differently AFTER you unlock all of their abilities. I think they made a great mistake, because the skill tree that makes the knights unique is locked, and saw people play the whole game spamming two momentum ability. XD Also, if you say that GK's combat is slow, you're lying, and you don't know the mechanics of the combat. There are ways to speed up the combat, but it takes skill to do it. You have to learn and use perfct strikes, because that speeds up combat animations. I can prove my point: ruclips.net/video/NO_jrfAsthY/видео.html
I honestly never understood the hate for Gotham knights the only reason is because it was compared to Batman Arkham and all the bad parts of the game is mostly bc I think it was originally made to be live service but that was cancelled so it still looks and feels like a live service game
Batman went out with dignity in gotham knights.
Yeah was a pretty solid intro to the game too. Loved that he was dead, body found and buried rather than assumed dead
Nah, devs disrespected Gotham Knights Batman by killing him twice in the same game. Arkham Batman was at least respected by Rocksteady: he wasn't killed at all. Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League wins no diff for me.
@@rodarollada"He wasn't killed at all" ...What?
@@rodarolladatwice Heroic sacrifice
@@rodarolladaso, your saying him going out like a chump by a c list character on bench when he took out an entire army on his own? While gotham knights portrayed batman more of a hero, even when he died twice he was givin a heroic death when suicide squad treat it like a joke
Gotham knight batman went out fight while arkham batman just sat their and waited to die
Yeah Gotham Knights handled the death of batman much better
Didn't Arkham batman blow his house up though to fake his death?
@@Shrukin9000 Knightfall protocol. He said his "Goodbyes" captures all active threats in Gothom and said his final goodbyes, trusting all future to gordon and the others, Even Catwomen. Then as his finale Blows up Wayne manor. Of course hes actually still active, I guess Orginally Nightfall protocol was made to be his final end, but he changed it when he found how effective Scarecrows latest toxin was so he instead hid away and uses the fear toxin to remain active while being dead.
Arkham Knight batman also went out with a fight, did you only watch his death cutscene?
Arkham Knight Batman did go out fighting actually
- Took out hundreds of unmanned tanks in a few hours
- Lowered the blast radius of Scarecrow's bomb
- Defused a bomb collar around Catwoman's neck and took down Riddler after collecting a total of 243 trophies
- Destroyed all of Penguin's weapon caches and apprehended Penguin himself
- Stopped multiple bank robberies then captured Two Face
- Took down multiple militia watchtowers, checkpoints, and bombs they had placed around the city and took down Deathstroke afterwards, this caused the militia to skip town
- Apprehended Harley and the Joker infected (Even though the Joker infected were killed later on)
- Apprehended Killer Croc, took down the League of Assassins, took down Mad Hatter, and helped Freeze save his wife
- Stopped Firefly from reducing Gotham to ash
- Prevented Pyg from turning any more people into dollotrons
- Unmasked the Arkham Knight
- Saved Barbara from falling off a building
- Stopped an all out assault on G.C.P.D
- Defeated Hush
-Saved Ryder from being sacrificed by a crazy immortal preacher
- Conquered Scarecrow's fear gas and used it against him, saving Robin and Gordon in the process
He did all of this in one night (please note, I said Arkham Knight Batman, not Batman from that disappointing SS game)
I’d definitely go with Gotham Knights.
Yeah that's fair my dude
I was hopeful in Suicide Squad kill the justice league to wash off the taste of Gotham Knights. They instead made me appreciate the old Arkham games and consider Gotham Knights to be good.
Would you belive me If I said that I picked it up + Orginis after it? (+ it was less than 10$)
Don't get me wrong. It is still bad but... in comperason it might as well be a game of the year.
Gotham knights is honestly better.
I dont really play alot of shooter so after tweaking the sskyjl for like a week in my opinion i rather play that then ever touch gotham knights again 😭

@@rodarollada you played gotham knights, lets play the remake: city attackers
Gotham Knights was never bad, but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation
There’s some bad things about it for sure, but I tend to agree. The problem was Arkham Knight set the bar so high for the combat system that when I played Gotham Knights it just felt so mediocre from both a combat and game physics when driving the bikes standpoint. Even Batgirls gliding feels awkward.
Facts its a fun game honestly. Not as good as arkham but a fun game anyway.
Facts
It is bad. Only suicide squad is worse
Right lol
Gonna have to go with Gotham Knights here (not that it's a good game) because at least it's not a humiliation ritual that constantly has to disrespect everyone's favorite Hero's and they at least killed Batman off with respect.
Fr
You trippin'. They killed Batman twice (TWICE) in the same game in Gotham Knights. And they didn't kill Batman at all in Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League.
@rodarollada really?
Nerf the flash & wonder woman
@@rodarollada you're high, they killed batman like a SICK PUPPY in SS and they had batman actually fight and sacrifice himself with respect in Gotham knights
@@CloneCommanderQutibahAlFarouqi man said 'nerf' with flash all you need is bullets
Gotham knights. At least that game actually feels like a superhero game. Looter shooters do not belong in the superhero genre. You ain’t convincing me otherwise
so using a fortnite glider is considered a superhero game? Tf are you on about. Either of them are superhero games, both are trash. But SSKTJL is a lot more fluid and buttery smooth and had a much better enjoyment playing that than whatever gotham knights is. Gotham Knights is so boring and dull that I couldn't be bothered to finish it. SSKTJL is overall much better game. You don't even get 60fps on PS5 support which the game was made for the PS5. That is completely unacceptable meanwhile SSKTJL runs 4K60FPS beautifully.
@@the-ironclad I prefer the fortnite glider in Gotham Knights over the fortnite combat in SSKTJL.
gotham knights is the only superhero game mentioned
Depend on the superhero, like a looter shooter with punisher or street level super hero is fine by me
@@LucienHaulotte eh idk superhero looter shooters/live service games have kinda been proven at this point to not work. Avengers, Gotham knights, suicide squad all failed. In my opinion they work way better as a solo player experience.
At First I had a lot of Mixed Feelings about Gotham Knights but after witnessing the God Awful CW Version as a Heartless Cash Grab and how Insulting SSKTJL was, I have to give. Tons of Credit to the Gotham Knights Game as despite its Flaws it respects the Lore and Characters, you feel the Characters playing as Unique in Combat, has Emotional and Heartwarming Moments, it was Made by Passionate People who loved the Bat Family and DC, and you feel the Risks of making this Game and to be in its Own Unique, it’s one of those things that we Took for Granted and I wish it had more DLC and Updates.
Agree mate how they handle their characters and their development was pretty damn great!
Did you even play Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League??? It's a masterpiece, but because of stoppid pricing policies of WB Games (they didn't even set the regional prices on Steam, shame on them!!!) and people like you jumping on the hate train, SSSTJL is most likely going to die, if the Joker season doesn’t bring in a new audience on March 28, 2024, of course.
Gotham Knights was (and is) kinda bland. I pre-purchased both Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights, by the way. Gotham Knights is just... sterile, you know. Dunno, why the author of the video gave it a point for characters because it wasn't a strong point of the game. Heck, Gotham Knights felt like a downgrade even comparing it to Arkham Origins. I hope WB Games Montreal learned some lessons and will make their next game (Gotham Knights 2???) a better experience. Although no, WB Games is unhappy with their AAA release sellings, there won't be Gotham Knights 2. I hope they at least allow us to kill all 13 Brainiacs and save the Justice League before the game shut down.
I'm not trying to diss WB Games Montreal. It's not their fault their game is not as good as it could be. it seems to me that the publisher just spared money. Like we all know the unfinished and canceled Batgirl movie case. Warner Bros. doesn't have money, it needs money. That's why the only post-release content we got are two content updates with reusing the same three bosses from the main story (Freeze, Quinn and Clayface) and some grindy co-op mode levels with escorting Starro at the end. Didn't play the final, second update, though, but I heard they were also reusing the same three bosses there.
TLDR. WB Games Montreal has to learn how to make characters better and not so sterile, maybe they will improve with their next game. Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League > Gotham Knights any day of the week. Rocksteady is cooking. The villain here is the publisher, WB Games, which depends on investors because it is on the verge of bankruptcy. Warner Bros. just doesn't have money. That's why we got the whole Sweet Baby Inc. deal. And that's why both games were set to be released as a live service model (they canceled it for Gotham Knights though).
Totally agree. The Squad game should have played more like Team Fortress 2 IMO. Each character being a specialized style of combat and gameplay. While strong in some aspects, the are weaker in others and that's why you need a well balanced team to win. Example: King Shark should be The Heavy, which a focus on being a tank. Cap Boomerang, should be the Spy (like he was in the comics) with a speciality in stealth and infiltration. Deadshot is obviously the sniper. Harley is small arms and melee attacks. How much more fun would this game be versus the crap we saw in Kill the Justice League? A game like this would REQUIRE more variety of enemy types, and scenarios to create a Squad that would succeed.
@@rodarolladaagree people need to get their head out of the gutters
The thing that makes me saddest is that with all the push back and rage at Gotham Knights we might never see a more polished version of it cause a couple additions to transversal and combat and the game could really come up
Yeah like it’s not even a bad game just a little mediocre I really enjoyed it
The difference Gotham Knights, despite its flaws didn't feel like a giant middle finger to the fans or people who actually understand the Characters. Example. Captain Boomerang. He would be the LAST person to piss on the Flash. Being a member of The Rogues, while villians, they had a strict honor code. If anything, Cap Boomerang would be the first to kick the snot out of anyone attempting to disrespect the body of the Flash with all the history and respect these characters had in their history. That also is what ticks me off about Arkham Harley. With the history of Batman and Harley, there is no way she would treat Batman like that in the end with that speech. If anything, if you MUST kill Batman in the same way for this game. It should feel like putting down a mad dog. You don't want to do it, but you know it needs to be done. What would have been more fitting is Batman having contingency plans to keep fighting even when under mind control but in the end even Batman knows he can't win. So as one last act of heroism he regains control of his mind long enough to try to bind Batman's brain to Brainiacs and if Batman dies, Brainiac would lose a great portion of his powers. He would ask Harley to kill him in one last act of sacrifice. The result would be weakening Brainiac to a level that the Suicide Squad and the world can actually win in a fight.
Totally agree with boomerang and good idea with batman mate! 🍻
@@DudiReviews I would also add that the gameplay was also a major failure in this game. I bought this game thinking it was going to be similar to other squad style games like Team Fortress 2. Instead we have all the characters of the Squad be shooters. It would have been so much better if they did copy Team Fortress. Example. King Shark being the Heavy tank brute focused on melee and absorbing damage. Deadshot would be a Sniper combat style. Boomerang would be a great infiltration type of player sneaking in and sabotaging. Harley would be demolition, small arms, and melee. The game I bought (yes I bought this turd of a game) is all the same class and no enemy variety. The charm of Team Fortress was there was no single player or class that could solo win. You needed to work as a team to win. That is what is lacking so badly in this game.
im part of the rare group of people that enjoyed playing the game, I think the traversal, combat and shooting is insanely fun and the gameplay keeps me coming back for more. But the story was one giant shitshow. Arkham Batman was heavily disrespected. If anything, I don't understand how he succumbed to brainiac's mind control that easily. Batman is extremely smart and perfected perfect mental and physical attributes so there's no way he would've been compromised that easily, especially if he withstood all that fear toxin and immune to majority of poisons in the world and has a cure for it. Also how did flash and wonder woman survive but batman couldn't. If anything I expected batman to counter the effects to save the justice league. Its always batman saving the others from compromise but him being compromised, breaking his no kill code, and going on a full rampage was terrifying. Not to mention how he got caught out of nowhere with that stupid fear toxin boss fight just to be a helpless guinea pig for lex at the end and then disposed off. He could've easily escaped. I have a feeling he didn't die. Because brainiac didn't react. He will come back soon.
@@the-ironclad I bought the game as well and hated it. The gameplay was dull to me. The animation in the cut scenes were really well done but the lack of understanding of the core characters broke any investment I had in the game.
just make a game then. tired of mfs hating on tha game bc it isn’t exactly what u want.
I'm good I'll just play the Arkham City or Lego DC Super Villains.
did some re-play of Arkham Knight for some b-roll footage - damn that holds up well still
@@DudiReviews, yeah, the graphics is impeccable. But it's because it's always night, all Rocskeady needed to do is to nail the night atmosphere. If you look at the Gotham City in the morning (in the Nightwing DLC story mission), you'll see it doesn't look so good when night is over.
Arkham City is the GOAT, Lego DC Super-Villains is kinda cool, but Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League isn't a bad game at all!!! It just needs some time to Rocksteady fix its issues and drop new story bits. WB Games went too hard at killing the game while at the same time they needed it as a lifebuoy because their ship is sinking.
@@rodarollada SS is a trash game. rocksteady needs to abandon it and make actually good superhero games
I am playing Arkham City and the Lego Batman series for the first time now. I recently played through Arkham Asylum and IMO it was THE definitive Batman experience. Suicide Squad from what I have seen of it is trash, I am glad that I didn't buy that monstrosity. Gotham Knights looks average
The single fact that they killed arkham batman how they did makes gotham knights better.
Nether was a masterpiece but clearly one had more effort put into it than the other
I honestly kind of enjoyed Gotham knights I'll never play Suicide squad.
I remember thinking Gotham knights was going to actually be updated like they claim suicide squad will be
they added two of the challenge modes where you go through 15 challenging floors - but they've not really added anything else.
the challenges aren't bad though
Yeah, they were planning to release two live service games back in 2020, if I recall correctly. But then they got rid of all the live service stuff in Gotham Knights, and that's why it feels like it feels: empty. But in case with Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League, WB Games decided to stand by their decision on the live service model to the end.
My opinion is always that Gotham Knights should have been Arkhamverse, and Suicide Squad most definitely should have not (because clearly they didn't even try to keep consistency). Gotham Knights had different takes on some characters, but if Batman had just disappeared/retired like in Arkham Knight, it could have just followed that story. Both would have been better for it imo.
I like that idea/opinion my dude
I don't understand why people are so mad at the fact that the suicide squad,THE VILLAINS, are making fun the heroes.
Because the game is not what they wanted so now they are gonna complain about everything
@@lolbitandftfoxysayhello6262 It's not complaining if they are totally justified. The game is garbage people have a right to be pissed.

Its unquestionably Gotham Knights and for many reasons but its also in my top 3 Superhero games of the last 5 years. It deserved a lot more love, people treated it like a live service that lacked content when in reality it was complete at launch.
But it IS basically a live service game that lacked content. Yeah, WB Games moved from the decision to release two live service model games, but you still can see the live service remains in Gotham Knights.
@@rodarollada yet it is NOT a live service game but a superhero game with the full package. WB didn't want to have live service after the avengers failed and you cant see any of it in the game
if gotham knights in your top 3, you haven't played superhero games dude
I support you lol
Me and my husband loved playing this game. Don't know about solo but it was so fun and entertaining as Co op
The only good thing about the suicide squad game is giving youtubers content....and people are enjoying it
Hope youre enjoying the content then my dude
When it comes to Suicids Squad story, we might not ever get a finished story if not enough people care to buy the add ons. After all, games like Anthem were suppposed to last for a long time but was dead by the year. Avengers barely gave out what they promised and was just the same missions over and over again(just like suicide squad). Games as a service only live as long as people throw money into the service, but games by design are ment to end
I enjoyed Gotham knights for what it was just turned my brain off and enjoyed gameplay
Same
Suicide Squad vs Marvel's Avengers would have been an interesting match up.
yeah would've - but i think its kinda safe to say which one was better, as Avengers can't be purchased anymore too
But marvel avengers still have people playing, the combat in avengers is way better
the most amusing thing with harley quinn is seeing how Gotham Knights makes her work so much more than Suicide Squad, especially when they have the same prison design and its so apparent the ESG soaked design of SS over GK
Gotham Knights felt superior when compared to SSKTJL. Both games aren’t the best but at least I feel that Gotham Knights had its own unique story while SSKTJL mainly seemed to use the fact it’s somehow connected to the Arkham games as a way to bring people in. After I killed flash in that I just gave up on this game. Gotham knights is repetitive but at least I felt it was pretty interesting as showing us a Gotham where Batman isn’t there and the bat family are taking care of Gotham City
I clicked off when they game the gameplay point to suicide squad. Gotham knights wasn’t the best but at least the bat family wasn’t running around shooting generic guns with skins that cost 20 dollars
Yeah fair my dude
Not fair, not my dude.
You can say that again
@@DudiReviewsi agree with him tbh you were a litttle biased ignoring that suicide squad felt more like a fortnite game than its own game, atleast gotham knights tried to make its own inspired arkahm combat without copy pasting it, and the characters are each different from each others,
Plus you overrated the world of suicide squad, metropolis looks bland and uninspired, has no colors, attachment nor memorable places to look at, while gotham knights had a pretty nice lively city to look at, sure it feels empty, but suicide squad's map feels even emptied because the missions has 0 variety, the boss fights are all the same and metropolis is garbage
So would and gameplay goes to gotham knights
Now shelf life, after season 1, i retract that point it i was you, it was HORRENDOUSLY bad with the joker needing a huge ass grind or pay 10 dollar teehee ass season
And for the graphics suicide squad has great facial animation with 0 substance nor style, atleast Gotham knights, not having that luxury looks much more colourful,
I hugely disagree with your video and i just believe it was hype bias for suicide squad since it was a fresh game
no stress dude you can disagree - and this video was made before the joker DLC was released @@slenderblakchannelDarkNess
Gotham knight's first gameplay trailer looked fuckin INSANELY cool. I wish we got that game instead
Gotham knights the more I replay it the more I enjoy it’s simplicity its like a throwback to the early days of gaming…sort of
At least Batman fought until the bitter end in Gotham Knights
Gotham Knights was not nearly as bad as people say it was. It was different than the status quo and that's why it was hated. SSKTJL on the other hand is a dumpster fire on all fronts.
the premise/story of Gotham Knights was brilliant - but seems like something was off when playing it.
Its weird because youd think gotham knights *might*have even been in better hands with rocksteady, as it plays much closer to the arkham formula. And SS we just really dont need and no one asked for.
not a bad point my dude
I asked for the squad and it delivered perfectly!
@kingol4801 You're allowed to have the worst taste imaginable. But you're like not the general audience then. You're the weirdo .5% of the audience.
While I can't speak on how either Gotham Knights, or Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, play as a game(I haven't played either of them), when it comes to showing respect to characters, Gotham Knights wins overall. Batman's death was handled much, much better. Character moments that each of the Bat family members have are good. The way Harley Quinn was depicted was much better, especially with how she stands on her own. I liked the depiction of Clayface, with how disillusioned he is. And the Batman audio logs are great, with 'Father and Grayson' probably being my favorite.
Though, after looking at all the cutscenes where Red Hood is the player character, Gotham Knights feels more like it was meant to be a Red Hood game, with the rest of the Knights being secondary protagonists.
You didn't play the games. I played. And I can say that they disrespected Batman only in Gotham Knights by killing him twice in the same game!! TWICE! In Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League, the Batman wasn't killed at all. And you are guys hating the masterpiece on your hate train for some reason. How you can even dare to place a mid game by WB Games Montreal above the masterpiece by Rocksteady Studios who gave us the all-time classic, Arkham Trilogy!!! You brazy, guys!
I will always defend Gotham Knights. I think its a solid game. I had fun playing it.
For me Gotham knights is a better game sure is not the Arkham games but I enjoyed it for what it was it has a little bit of Arkham it in it with its own style of gameplay and melee attacks with every character feeling like they own and sure it wasn't perfect like the story and combat but they treated Batman with respect sacrificing himself for his family and for the people of Gotham they didn't feel the same unlike The Suicide Squad game and an open world able to go anywhere you want without your head being explode but I really enjoyed Gotham nights my 2 favorite missions were Clayface and Mr Freeze so this is how I rate them
Gotham knights 7/10
Suicide Squad kill the justice league 5/10 I just didn't like it everything about the game bothered me it should have been a Justice League game or a new Batman Arkham game
Picking up what you're putting down my dude
Its a given that Gotham Knights treated its characters better especially Batman, however in S.Squad its not only Batman but all the male members were treated like shit, only Wonder Woman was treated properly, i recall that both games had the Sweet Baby touch but i think it was more heavy influenced in S.Squad hence the treatment of the male league members. Also i think Knights was also suppose to be a Live Service game but abandoned yet couldnt do much to change what was done hence the RPG mechanics, so one abandoned and one stuck with the Live Service idea.
"Which is better"? Difference is Gotham Knights is actually fun
Dc when a Batman story has nothing to do with the Joker: put the Joker in this
Dc when a Batman story has everyone’s character arc revolve around the Joker: you are not allowed to even mention the Joker
right?!

How the fuck is this even a question? Gotham Knights not only has the better end for Batman, but it's a better game all together..
Gotham Knights is better in every way possible.

Is fixable
Give me an hour and I could had some good changes
Suicide Squad is flawed conceptually
Let’s all go play Lego DC Super Villans instead!!
You know I've bought that game but not played it. Heard great things though haha
xd
I wish that the universes were flipped for these games where we got the bat family vs the court of owls and no league of shadows in the Arkham universe, where the court decide now is the time to strike since Batman is gone, and Suicide squad was it’s own universe and didn’t have to unceremoniously kill off a beloved version of an even more beloved character and undo the final story arc of Batman
I think SSKTJL could’ve pulled it off being irreverent but:
1) the squad had to be shown as murderous a-holes a lot more that way they can still be murderous a-holes after boss fights
2) any time they tried to get an emotional reaction, one time is very forced, that all had to go (except the tribute)
3) all the political messages had to be removed I get that the devs or SBI were concerned about gun laws and the environment but the Suicide Squad is not they’re murderous a-holes.
The only other way is to tone the entire thing down. Have them put the Justice League in those human hamster balls keep them locked up. So it would have had to be completely irreverent like nothing matters so we can understand that properly, or it does matter so don’t insult the customers.
Gotham Kinghts. Not even a competition. All the issues that are in that game is in Suicide Squad but even worse and at least Batan was respected in that one. Yeah it's not much but at this point....
Batan (sic) wasn't even respected in your own comment. You don't know what you are talking about. They killed Bruce Wayne TWICE in the same game in Gotham Knights.THIS is disrespectful! And they didn't kill Batman at all in Suicide Squad: Save the Justice League. This is respectful!
@@rodarolladaThey DIDN'T!? Are you insane or blind? Didn't you saw the cutsceen? Tide down and guned down helpelessly as hes lifes work was meaningless dieing just like how hes parents did?

No sir! YOU don't know what you are taliking about!
My thing is, the Story for SSKTJL technically isn't finished yet, so I'm holding off on judging it completely
EXACTLY!!!
Yeah but a game asking 70+ dollars for essentially an unfinished story with an unsatisying ending is abysmal
they charged a $70 price tag, the game is allowed to be judged as is, it would inly be forgiveable if the price wasnt so abysmal, no one should have to pay wxtra money to finish a story for a game they already payed for
But why is it not finished. People payed over $100 for an unfinished game
😂
I think Gotham Knights had an overall better story but Suicide Squad is better in terms of the fun you get out of it. Especially when playing with friends.
@@somethingaboutguns agree my dude.
Gotham Knights all the way. Stayed respectful to the characters and I love the sibling relationships between the 3 robins and Batgirl 🔥🔥

Tbh i Prefer gotham knights over suicide squad but they should've made a single player game instead of a rpg
I think it works well as a co op just makes sense but they should have let you have ai teammates sense the game really stresses teamwork in certain areas with some skills only working if you have a co op player and sense no one plays the game it’s hard to accomplish that
Is it that hard to say they're both bad? Granted one only leaves a sour taste and the other open a sewage pipe directly to the screen
Yeah they’re both ass but at least with Gotham Knights you can tell at bare minimum the devs love the characters n the world of DC and that shows in game while SS? Yeah they couldn’t even respect the universe they wanted it to be in.
No, one is good and the other looks fun and might be fun
Couple of corections, fiirst the combat in gotham knigth is not like arkham, you have light and strong attacks, you have perfects attack that change the animations and flow, you have grapels, you have range attacks ligh and strong, you have stamina bar abilities that funtions as counters and you have dodge and perfect dodges with a counter.
Each knigth is diferent in how it feel when playing a example red hood is the only one that have perfect range attacks and robin is the one with inverted take downs
you have a sonar that funtions as a predator vision in the stealth secctions, the city has npc, comun crimes and diferent types of big crymes like kidnappig or court bases, bike races, etc.
You can fix the transversal with mods, more speed in the bike and all the knights something that you cant do in a live service game.
And to end i can always play the game if i want to, but SS when the servers end service it will be the end o the game (i know they promise a offline mode but with a player base so small y doubt they wiil be new things apart of the dlc that is already done like the joker)
still all trash, the traversal in SSKTJL is much better. Its hard to master but once you do, its so rewarding to move around the city. Also using traversal attacks combining it with guns and melees to traversal transitions make the game so much more fun. You gotta play the game to understand it. The game is super fun and I had way more enjoyment out of it than I did playing Gotham Knights. If Rocksteady made Gotham Knights and fixed the traversal and combat and stealth, it would've been fire and a much better game than SSKTJL
YEAH OFC it doesnt feel like its trying to be an arkham game BECAUSE its NOT an arkham game it was supposed to be an arkham game but WB took over and they WANTED THE GAME TO BE DIFFERENT BUT BAD THHATS WHY THE FOUNDERS OF THE COMPANY LEFT SO OFC ITS GONNA BE DIFFERENT DIFFERENCE DOESNT ALWAYS MEAN GOOD, gotham knights atleast tried to do what they could with it and since it wasnt arkham related it was fine and the gameplay atleast had some combos in it which was somewhat fun COMPARED TO SUICIDE SQUAD KILLS ROCKSTEADY
obviously gotham knights is better than suicide squad wtf.......in fact gotham knights is kinda underrated, there is literally no redeeming quality in suicide squad the game....maybe just seeing flash in something other than injustice is cool and that's it.
kinda dug the costume design in the game - green lantern and supermans outfit were rad
@@DudiReviews i know but they aren't even the characters your using lmao all we can do is look from behind the window.
11:36 crazy that no one gets how fluid Gotham knights combat is. It’s actually better than the Arkham series
I will admit it takes way to long to see its potential
Nah dude
@@zevac ruclips.net/video/x7p_KGeKzwc/видео.htmlsi=-ggNpXZfD6NQqRpv
Not better than Arkham city and knight but it is really fluid especially after a while into the game
@@laughing_arbiter I wish I was exaggerating, but that rockem sockem combat style in Arkham games makes you just go through the motions. Still challenge like dance dance revolution or guitar hero, but you don’t have to setup moves you just press a button and teleport to who’s ever closest.
In Gotham knights you have to avoid certain enemies or know what momentum abilities/elemental to use on them.
Also Arkham doesn’t have different characters just different animations.
As soon as I lost items after dying in Gotham knights, I put it down to never play again. I never even picked up suicide squad to begin with.
I'll put it like this we should have gotten the Damian Wayne Arkham game
yeah mentioned that in my other video my dude - would've been so much better
Also considering David Zaslav, the CEO of WB has been on absolute rip and tear of canceling and removing failed projects, i honestly doubt SSKTJL will ever be complete. I can see WB releasing whatever DLC they currently have and being moving on. WB left Gotham Knights to ROT and it appears to have been more successful (as far as we the consumer can see).
Why do people want Gotham Knights to be an Arkham game just because it "takes inspiration", and meanwhile they don't have the same energy for Insomniac Spiderman who uses WAY more Arkham-like mechanics. People act like they want more soul and care put into games, but then it's almost like a 50/50 split of people preferring the completely soulless, lackadaisical Fortnite ripoff combat system of SSKTJJ. At least Gotham Knights is actually a fighting game and not a cheap shooter.
There was no riddler in gotham knights.
In the battle of Mediocre games Gotham Knights definitely gets the edge 100%
Easy answer Gotham knights is better and it's not live service.
While I did have issues with Gotham Knights, I appreciated 2 things. 1. They gave the other heroes time to shine. While I LOVED the arkham games I wasn't always a fan of Batman in the Arkham games. The only one where I actually kind of liked batman as a character was in Origins. Every other entry I felt NOTHING towards him. I cared more for Jason Todd and Tim Drake in this game then I have in the last 10 years as a VERY casual DC fan.
2. For the first time in the game I felt like a comic book vigilante. Arkham games previously had a reason why the area you were in was not 'living', it was a asylum, an open air prison, a city in the midst of a snow storm, a city evacuated as a result of terrorist attack, this one you could find people wondering about. When you stopped crimes the cops would come and investigate and if they SAW you, they would try to arrest you. The gotham PD was CORRUPT and you had to sometimes stop THEM from harming civillians.
You could even watch the cops come on the scene after you busted up a gang and tied them up, look at them go 'who the heck did this!?' and then fly off into the night like a Batman-style vigilante WOULD. It was a great feeling. While there was many issues with Gotham knights that was one thing they did RIGHT and hope continues into any future Arkham like games.
@@itsdantaylor very good points my dude 🍻
Gotham Knights actually tried
Wonderland is one way of putting it. Both were meh games.
I'm enjoying Gotham Knights as a standalone game. I haven't finished Arkham Knight yet. I want to check out suicide squad but need to do it when it goes on sale.
I do believe Arkham Knight is the best out of all three. But if we don't compare them, they are decent games on their own.
Yeah each game has something cool about it. Whether it's traversal, story or combat
There's a complete Arkham retrospective on the channel too if you want more batman mate
To me Gotham Knights feels like the true continuing chapter of Arkham knight I’m on its side 100% because for one it did Batman’s death so much better he died a hero if a super hero has to die they die sacrificing themselves to save the day like Superman did when he first battled doomsday Suicide Squad can eat shit
Amazing video and About the villains:
Two face,Anarky,Riddler,Mad Hatter,Black Mask and Killer Croc they exist in this universe and there were supposed to be more dlcs and they appear as dlcs villains in this first game and I left the Scarecrow,Catwoman,Scarface/Ventriloquist,Deathstroke,Deathshot,Victor Zas,Ivy Poison and the Joker for the second game as the Mains and Secondary villains of the game not counting Talia herself as the secret villain or she for a third game and yes I prefer Gotham Knights more than the garbage that was Suicide Squad 🤔😌👍like and Bye!
@@ycarusgamer5187 cheers my dude 🍻
I haven't played any of them, but I have seen a Nightwing playthrough of Gotham Knights, and I really liked it 😊 But Suicide Squad, I have not seen a playthrough, but I know the main story. And it's not good, I have played the Arkham games so I'm also mad about what they did to Batman
Suicide Squad is objectively a better game. Plus even if you just want a multiplayer experience Suicide Squad offers a better one, can't even have a 4 player team in Gotham Knights... Don't even mention those levels that no one played.
Suicide Squad: Batman's Legacy wasn't passed on
Gotham Knights: Batman's Legacy is Passed on to his Students. His students became symbols of Hope in Gotham

gotham knights 8.5/10
suicide squad kill the justice league 2/10
@@mimmoesposito7726 8.5 damn glad you enjoyed Gotham knights my dude
Nah, you missed the grind, the anti-consumer Tactics and the awful connectivity issues. Those also affect the experience, and SS ruined all of those. GK was absolutely mediocre, while SS is actively harmful by its anti-consumer antics, and a favorite for worst game of the year.
Im still mad the in gotham knights all the villains are still out their
All we accomplished was getting bruce back then watching him die again
And revelaing to the world the court of the owls which was somehow easy for a secret organization of 100+ years
I hate gotham knights, you basically end up at the beginning
Suicide squad at least gives us hope in the justice league coming back sicne flash was confirmed to be a clone
But ghe inconsistency and character changes are trash
I enjoyed the gameplay but everything bad over powers it
I enjoyed the group dynamic of both teams and how they grow
Everything else is trash
I would prefer suicide squad over gotham knights cause i feel it was more of a game then gotham knights
I had to even install mods on gotham knights to play like a game, it was clunky and slow
GK easily. GK is a superhero game that had its flaws…..and SSKTJL is a looter shooter that features superheroes and villains. GK batman died fighting and SSTKTJL died on a park bench.
fair point my dude
Decent video, I would have given certain points to other sides but over all I enjoyed this video. Keep up the good work!
Fair enough dude. Cheers mate 🍻🍻, glad you're enjoying the content
@@DudiReviews Fr
Gotham knights wasn’t bad but the story could’ve had a bit more.
yeah fair my dude - the premise was a great hook
@@DudiReviews i think if they invest in it more and made the movement more fluent like Arkham games then it would be a amazing game honestly.
i thought i knew bad games or cheap games...until SS KTJL blew me away. Great job.
GK looks like Arkham Asylum by default. holy fuck
With Gotham knights, you can at least get the feeling that they tried. You don't get that as much with Suicide Squad
thats fair my dude
When the riddler challenges are your favorite part of the game, you know its really bad 😂
That Little Nicky reference had me weak 😂😂
@@CavemanHomicide glad you enjoyed it my dude! I generally tend to try and get a laugh or two with memes in my videos
At least Gotham knights didn’t disrespect the legacy of the Arkham Batman
very true
Now that im thinking about it, the studios should've switched games.
The online in ss has been a much better experience than Gotham knights. In Gotham knights it seemed like if I was more than 50 meters away from someone then my game would crash. And let’s not forget the low fps cap for Gotham knights
I personally never cared for fps as long as the game is fluid and I never played much co op but I much preferred it to ss
Idc what people say I love Gotham knights and suicide squad 100+ hours in each I have played the Arkham series and love those too. But people don’t like GK and SSKtJL? I thought the fact that it was different was better
As someone who would play as Jason, Gotham Knights is surely game for me
fair enough my dude
I never played Gotham Knights, but I will admit that the story did have potential. Batman went out with dignity. And the characters had great chemistry together. The game itself was bland, but I kept watching cutscenes and liked some of them. Especially the message Bruce was trying to make but gets interrupted by the Bat Family.
I think it's free with PSPlus, and was recently on sale on steam for $15. Not a bad price when it's on sale
@@DudiReviews Would immediately grab some mods for it too. Mostly Red Hood.
Okay tell me if I am wrong. Insted of Gotham knights what if we had Arkham knights, hear me out. It would take place right after Bruce faked his death and he don’t go fight crime anymore. So he is the batcave/other base, telling the knights what to do? Sound good or nah
I think my ranking of live service games is Gotham knights,DCUO, Suicide Squad kill the justice league,marvel avengers,
Oh dude I loved dcuo haha
Battle of Mid (1942)
I couldn’t continue playing Gotham Knights because anytime I upgraded my gear it just made the enemies harder to kill.😭
@@jrgm5382 oh really??
@@DudiReviews yes, every single time I upgraded my gear and weapons the enemy just got stronger. I haven’t even gotten 30% of the actual story done yet. I got the game earlier this year because I have PS plus. I just suck.😂😭
Gotta respectfully disagree with you on the world decision. I actually think they both fail rather equally on that. Gotham Knights was drab and boring and yes always rainy but placing yourself in the shoes of the brood squad I found it fitting to just perch and watch for cop lights and then respond while I was simultaneously gathering that bs intel to start the next mission. Suicide squad was bright and had color and that’s all I really noticed it didn’t seem better still had busy work to do but making the city brighter doesn’t change that I spent 90% of time on rooftops doing the same thing… maybe I’m biased and I will admit that I had a co-op player for knights and couldn’t convince anyone to play squad wit me so idk maybe I just felt more burdened with squad plus it’s gameplay loop pissed me off. But I didn’t feel like the world was more lively or involved actually the only thing I remember was Lois lane somehow getting a camera feed to live stream everywhere and yeah that’s def diff from knights but idk how it’s better. It didn’t add anything for me. There was no place in squad that I was like whoa can’t wait to see what that is idk just me
No stress my dude 🍻 totally see your point
Gotham Knights, because with that game I only felt underwhelmed, while with Suicide Squad I felt sad, offended, angry, and confused. Gotham Knights was more respectful.
Also, live service games with microtransactions are getting REALLY annoying after all these years, as they often taint pre-existing franchises with greed, as well as lead to stories with a lack of a solid resolution.
Yeah that's fair my dude totally see your point
I think they both get pretty stale pretty fast but at least Gotham Knights has the benefit of all the characters having unique dialogue and actually different scenes in the story.
That makes it have replay value at the very least even if you didn’t enjoy it THAT much.
There is legit NO reason to continue Suicide squad after you beat the story.
All you’re doing is grinding specific gear sets after that and replaying the same 2-3 missions.
It’s a joke of a live service game.
Avengers had the exact same issue, same enemies, same objectives, same looking map.
It just doesn’t have the energy Destiny brings as a live service.
Wanna know what's sad? At the end of Origins and Blackgate it teased Amanda Waller recruiting death stroke Bronze Tyger and Deadshot to the suicide squad meaning WB Games Montreal were gonna make Suicide Squad and Rocksteady was gonna make Another Arkham Game. But i heard that they switched projects or idk
Not to mention Sweet baby inc was apart of this which explains some decisions ig
completely forgot about the suicide squad teaser at the end of Arkham Origins - good pick up mate!
@@DudiReviews yeah, what sucks that Suicide Squad was in the works since 2010 and got shelved in 2016. And we were also gonna have Katana and Harley and they were gonna have Arkham like Grappling mechanic i think
oh damn! very cool@@mysterythekitsune4213
Suicide Squad being a live service game kills any shelf life it might have. 5-10 years from now (or sooner) when the servers are taken down Suicide Squad will be unplayable whereas Gotham Knights can still be fired up. Knights feels like WB Montreal were at least trying to tell a story that the fans would enjoy. KTJL feels like Rocksteady wanted their own Fortnight cash grab. Gotham Knights may not be a great game, but it easily better than Suicide Squad.
@@BYWhistory fair opinion my dude
I actually wanted to play both of these bc i found them cheap. I was going to go with Suicide Squad since it won from the video but after reading the comments it seems like most say Gothan Knights. Eh, its only $15 so ill give Gotham Knights a chance.
fair enough my dude
Gotham Knights has a ton of enemy variety, and all of them has different designs, fight pattern, weaknesses, etc. I would chose GK over SSKTJL any day.
GK is not a great game, it's painfully mediocre, but SS is outright bad. XD
GK also has a lots of mission variety. And while the open world can be quite dull at times, at leat they have insanely well crafted set pieces. All the characters in GK play differently AFTER you unlock all of their abilities. I think they made a great mistake, because the skill tree that makes the knights unique is locked, and saw people play the whole game spamming two momentum ability. XD
Also, if you say that GK's combat is slow, you're lying, and you don't know the mechanics of the combat. There are ways to speed up the combat, but it takes skill to do it. You have to learn and use perfct strikes, because that speeds up combat animations.
I can prove my point:
ruclips.net/video/NO_jrfAsthY/видео.html
I honestly never understood the hate for Gotham knights the only reason is because it was compared to Batman Arkham and all the bad parts of the game is mostly bc I think it was originally made to be live service but that was cancelled so it still looks and feels like a live service game
it was fine for a game - it had some potential, but the open world is a bit dead
Those streets carpets aren't just a Aussie thing
