So last night upon finishing the upload of this video, I spent a combined $60 on the PS Store, not counting tax. You know what I got? Helldivers 2 and Persona 4 Golden. $10 less than this hunk of trash. I just wanted you to know that, take your $70 elsewhere.
I'm not much of a gamer, don't even have any new consoles but I did love the arkham games and after seeing what they did here I started playing arkham origins again
It gets even worse when you realize Everything that happend in Arkham Knight is now Pointless cause of this game. From Poison Ivy, To the Knightfall Protocol to Joker being forgotten. All of that erased.
Also it's pretty ironic that the game tries to sell that ivy has such a connection with Harley that even after Death she can still somewhat remember her Even though they don't have anything like that in the original games, and the only moment Ivy speaks about Harley in Arkham Knight is to insult her as she says in a little disdain "even poor Harley was there" And even if she was hiding some feelings, it would all be gone after the scarecrow's plan, that would destroy all plants in the city Harley literally helped him and didn't even move a finger to help her supposed lover after she's locked in a cell. There's no reason for ivy to care for her I really like this Ship, I personally think some shows can put these Harley x Ivy characters to work and be very cute (I personally love those two together). But in the Arkham series this idea does not work
@@usarhabilidade2697i dont think harley knew ivy was in a cell and even if she did she was hell bent on killing batman so i doubt she would have disobeyed the AKS or scarecrows orders to kill him or reveal his identity
Hey Green lantern is “One of the good ones” and it’s completely fine for Harley to sexually assault Deadshot even when he says don’t Also they change deadshot race and break the Arkham story just to have him be in prison 💀 SweetBaby inc definitely doesn’t have racial problems..
@calebadamu I know you won't believe me but I'm gonna say it anyway. DeadShot being race-swapped here is the bait to lure us black folks in, while they try to maintain their core audience which is people like them. That's why Black-Shot called Captain Boomerang:"Kangaroo looking ass" and why he has he has that basketball emote. Because the only thing they know about us is stereotypes.
@@O.C.P_officer77 Green Lantern is "one of the good ones?" Black-Shot called him a "race traitor" for joining the military and becoming a Green Lantern I.E. a "space cop." And I don't have the time to explain why that's bullcrap. But given the ignorance that plagues the black community, I'm not really surprised. Hell I should be used to it since I saw that a lot growing up.
Game would've automatically been 10x better if instead of the squad, you had lex's team from the "forever evil" comic run. Lex Luthor (instead of waller), bizarro, black adam, black manta, sinstero, and catwoman, though I'd replace her with metallo.
Then after that "thank you Kevin" message, the game immediately showers you with live-service rewards. It's like the game itself literally went "oh no... anyway". Fuck this game.
34:50 Shark using the GL ring isn't even the issue considering it's less about purity and more about Will Power, if Nanaue has the will power he can use it, the issue really lays on everything around it. 1- The Ring reject and abandon John Stewart the second he got braniac-fied or the second he started to kill innocents, breaking the first rule of the GLC "No lethal force until one is proven to be a definitive threat to peace or liberty" 2- The Ring would have left John Stewart the second he died looking for a new host at light speed. Even if King Shark managed to take the ring, the ring could have denied King shark and if forced to would have used it's defenses to escape 3-If King Shark had the will power to use the ring, the Ring would have adapted to King Shark's finger, but even if we ignore that aswell the second King Shark's will power proved to be enough to weild the ring, it would have been impossible to remove it unless King Shark wanted to or if (No the New 52 animated movies don't count because 1- different continuity 2- it's something that has happened only in that continuity, not to mention it's a bullshit point that never gets used for anything other than a joke) 4- The Green ring doesn't even touch the user's psyche so why in the world did King Shark lose his mind?
King Shark reminded me of how much I wish we had a new next gen Incredible Hulk game. Oof destruction physics plus jumping a mile in a single bound sounds so cool
One thing to add to this shitty cake is before the killing him Quinn makes it seems like it was batman was at fault for causing emotional and mental problems to people who willing went out to rob harm and kill innocents
Gotham Knights isn't suddenly a good or even decent game cuz this one is trash. I recently reinstalled and tried to play and uninstalled it the next day. That was after I already put just over 30 hours into it before. I really wanted to like GK but I just couldn't do it lol
I agree with you on this just 1 correction characters are limited to a set of guns for example Deadshot cannot use shotguns or miniguns, Boomer cannot use miniguns or assault rifles, harly cannot use shotguns or assault rifles and king shark cannot use pistols or smgs.... and yes this is a stupid way to try and add variety to the characters.
Hope he sees this comment because I was confused when he said everyone can use any weapons. When it's not actually set up that way unless Rocksteady changed that aspect under our noses 🤷
You're right on that, my mistake. However the point still kinda stands in the case that all but one character can use certain guns. In the case of the shotgun, even though Deadshot can't use it, King Shark can use it, whose a better version of Boomerang. So even though not everyone can technically use any gun, it still whittles the character options down to 2 at best, and that's if you don't consider the guns as just basic stat sticks, which if you do, then the type of gun matter way less to you, as long as it gets the job done.
And no, not anyone can put on a Green Lantern ring after they die. When a lantern dies the ring seeks a new wielder. Should let you know all you need to know about the people who wrote this.
Also, you can’t just beat batman with ‘the power of friendship’. In the Arkham vr game batman dreamt of killing knightwing who is the best fighter he’s trained. And he one shots the squad in the game in the museum
I really didn’t like Deadshot’s character. He acted like a loser that took a super soldier serum. Now he’s buff af and can shoot guns well, but he still has his ‘loser’ characteristics. He reminds me more of an antihero from ‘Kickass’ or a parody of an antihero.
Its just crazy a game where a boss literally learns from you was made years earlier than a game where the boss flies away from you and gets shot and defeated the same way the whole fight
Same as Arkane Austin. Most of the talent responsible for the studio's greatest creations bailed the instant the publishers started compromising their integrity for profit. Even if Rocksteady manages to stick around, it exists in name only at this point.
@@Yourfat247 You're all deciding to blame a game and company for 'leaks' even when you're all out here spoiling a game for yourselves on purpose? Instead of just waiting for a game to be released in due time? You do realize how stupid this makes yourselves look right?
Batman should have been the final boss, after taking over Brainiac's mind, and it should be the one time where NPC squad members can be downed, and if you don't revive them, you lose them forever. The game should also check for Arkham Knight saved data, and if it finds it, put Batman in whatever skin you have him in in save one
I just finished your Steller Blade review and now I’m going through your catalogue and you’re honestly an AMAZINGLY HILARIOUS AND THOROUGHLY AUTHENTIC game reviewer. Please keep doing what you’re doing and being you, your passion shines through :)
I don’t know if captain boomerangs actor is Australian but it sounds like someone from another country doing an impression on the accent after smoking 40 cigarettes
Just sayin', the deadshot before hit a bullseye after like 3 ricochets from pretty far away. This deadshot shoots about as well as any of the other characters. I don't think the other guy was the faker.
If this game was just called Suicide Squad give Deadshot the guns Harley her pistol, bat, & freeflow combat, Boomerang his boomerangs, & freeflow combat, King shark just brute strength & biting animations This game would've been so much better. And if they didn't kill the JL and just have them be that secret taskforce that gets deployed somewhere, this would've been so much better
This is why I always say that if there is a 4-5+ years between last game and game is about to release its not a game "from the creators of X", its a game from a different studio so there is 0 reason to think its gonna be good, and it should be treated as a game from a any other noname studio with similar budget. and 4-5+ years is very generous, look at what happened with 2077 between 2017 and release, they cut everything including non-linear story it was supposed to have. In case of this game its almost 10 years since last game, this last game was far from perfect and its a studio owned by f-ing warner... wtf did people expected? a masterpiece that would be remembered generations later?LOL
Honeslty. This game has a lot of problems. The boss figths have interesting ideas but just feel plain stupid given how every preivous scene sets up how easily each hero can overpower the squad. The story is fine for the most part if a bit dumb, and the gameplay is fun enouph, but repetative as there isn't anything to spice it up/change or improve it past what you get at the start. Even hhe skill trees feel a bit tacked on as they don't really change how you play. But if you ask me, most of the games issues stem from the decicion not to make this a live service, but a looter shooter. This was an incredibly bad decicion in my book for one reason. It made the game desgined around fighting the random enemies and minions. And NOT around the boss fights. And that's a huge issue. This games combat systems and mechanics are NOT desgined for boss fights at ALL. It's desgined for frantic, chaotic shoot outs. Not boss fights against super powered indiivduals. They can't create interesting mehanics or gameplay moments, beacuse the whole thing is desinged around guns and moving from place to place and shooting things. How would you make a boss fight against batman work? He's just a human being in a batsuit. He can't use his gadgets to disable our guns or we can't even fight. He can't sneak around and ambush us beacuse we have no means to counter that. He can't jump down and punch us, beacuse we have no melee combos or mechanics beyond the basic attack. This extends to the whole game. Looter shooters generally don't have very good boss fights outside of borderlands and this game proves why. Rather than building itslef around each characters unique gimmick and skll set, eveyone just shoots and gets around the city diffrently. THAT is a huge problem and explains why each boss fight feels so dumb. There is nothing they can acutally DO with this combat system. Functionally, let's think about this. How is Joker going to play any diffrent to deathstroke? Or Mr/Nora Freeze in future content? He moves around the citty diffrently? What else? What is the point of new playable characters if they all play the same at the end of the day and don't have anything to truly make them unique comabt wise?
This is the biggest issue with the game, nobody wanted a looter shooter from rocksteady. And don't even get me started on the story, I'd be typing an entire essay if I listed everything wrong with that mess they call a story.
At First I was skeptical that the Justice League would be killed by the Suicide Squad but I thought WB mislead us and that they would Unbrainwashed later, but then when they Announced that this will be connected to the Arkham Series I was one of the few people who saw the Red Flags, then Kevin Conroy passed away and this would have been one of the Last Roles( with Crisis Part 3 seemingly being his Final Role), and don’t get me started on the multiple Delays for 3 Goddamn Years, the Shooting Mechanic, and the Live Server B$, I knew that this would be not just a Bad Game, but a Insult to DC and Arkham Fans that would have loved to see Rocksteady make either a Superman, Batman Beyond, or Justice League Game but now it’s clear that the Original People behind the Arkham Games have left and are given the Keys to New People that don’t understand what they’re doing that would lead this Once Great Company into Bankruptcy in the Most Distasteful and Distasteful Way Possible, Nobody in their Right Minds would want a Game that you killed off Some of your Favorite Heroes in Cold Blood, the Live Server Shooter Angle is a Terrible Game for a DC Game, the Only Good Character is King Shark, I like Deadshot but his Anger with Green Lantern is Doom, this is the Wrost Harley Quinn played by Tara Strong I didn’t like, Captain Boomerang is the Worst Character in the Game, Lex is more Enjoyable than Waller, the Graphics are a Major Downgrade to the Arkham Games especially when Knight was pure Perfection even if the Game is Overrated, the Side Characters are Boring, and is just Depressing and Not in a Good or Enjoyable Way when you Play or Watch, all I can Say is that MK1 and Spider-Man 2 are far better than this Abomination that I wish was Cancelled completely.
I honestly don't think there's anywhere for Rocksteady to go that'll bring anyone back....They treated one of DC's most Iconic characters for decades and the progenitor of their company like this.... So, I don't think many would trust any character based game from them anymore... then you throw in that this is CANON...and Theres nowhere to go, no Justice League, No Batman, No Superman, they would have to start with a different ark entirely.. And then, Im not sure how Warner Bros/DC would let them after seeing what they did after 7+ years of development. Hell, any company would be wary after this and the time they took to create this bull...
95% of plays don’t even believe it’s cannon, that’s how shit of a game it is, and the fact that jokers side piece was the one to kill one of the best Batman’s in DC is fuckin insane.
Dunno, what it is... But your style and your review of the Souls series was the most entertaining thing i've seen on this platform for a while. You deserve a sub.
Personally I prefer Avengers. The story mode at least felt like an actual video game. I never found Squad to be fun. Avengers at least you feel like Captain America when you play Captain America. You feel like Iron Man when you play Iron Man. And the traversal cooldown is insane. I tried to main Harley, I really did. But some Riddler traversal challenges as her, just don't work. I'm glad I started with her because once I got her to 30 I dropped her like a bad habit. Black Widow in Avengers plays kind of like Harley, but I don't remember feeling miserable when I played as Black Widow. Iron Man to me felt better than Deadshot. Hulk at least felt like the Hulk when I played as him. The only thing that made characters unique in Suicide Squad was the melee button and traversal. The only part I liked was when Batman hunts you. They could have made a cool Batman asymettrical multiplayer game out of that. We got this instead.
Hot take Instead of wonder woman getting the respectful death It should be batman fighting superman and dies a actual hero then a sick dog. I consider it a win win Arkham batman is not treated like this because he didn't deserve any of what sweet baby inc did to him And it shows that Superman could just end batman during a fight Especially since this superman is willing to kill Or better yet MAKE A ARKHAM BEFORE MAKING THIS
29:47 to me Captain boomerang just talked entirely too much I'm pretty sure he had the most lines in the entire game. His voice wasn't grating just too much talking
Must have been the dumbest creative meeting ever. You kill the characters you would rather play as and you play as the lamest villains in the whole DC universe.
I only want this game to not die really quickly so they can’t go oh wait they’re actually alive which they are no doubt going to do so that we could still get actual Arkham games or even a justice league game
Yeag, generally Deadshot was supppse to be the most competent person on the squad who keeps everyone in line. Yes Arkham City Deadshot would be like this because he was like this in the Assault on Arkham Movie. Deadshot is not Deadshot. On the same not Harley from Arkham games would not act the way she does in Sucide Squad
Fun fact: If you go through some audio logs. You will find out how the Justice League got brainwashed by Brainiac. And it will make this universe even worse. Not canon or not. Beloved characters or not
@@diredm3889well, superman sees brainiacs ship and decides to go into said shop for a welcome party and a truce. Batman obviously calls him out on this bullshit but somehow gives in. Flash uses his super speed on the ship to get out and I think WW stayed on the watch tower… I mean, she did stay there during the invasion which was two weeks
Iam kinda surprised that rocksteady still hasn’t said anything Not a statement Not even an explanation The game is almost entirely dead but no one gives even an attempt of explanation
Well… they did. They just blamed Seth when he only was radio silent and the devs didn’t do a thing to try and fix the game but then marketed it with smiles on their faces
Every negative you had on this game avengers DIDNT have at launch More missions Better story Better boss battles coop attacks Horde mode Better combat and detail to characters Better paid costumes Actual skill tree not buffs and numbers A purpose to use another hero wtf did yall play bro cancel culture is wild The credibility goes out the window when it’s said SS is better than avengers with only 3 missions and one gameplay mechanic which avengers has in the game Please people go back and actually play the games before speaking about them the game failed from the content drops being to far apart to keep players Its like Sony players making fun of gears for years to then say Helldivers is original and amazing 10/10 But gears was lame for the past ten years
As a massive Superman and Batman fan, I can't tell whether I hate this game more for ruining the legacy of the Arkham Batman games, or for throwing all the absolute potential of a single-player Superman game in the same vein as Arkham or the Spider-Man's into the garbage (and also character assassinating both Batman and Superman themselves).
Great video. -Spoiler item below- I had heard other people mention the following mistake, but I had not actually seen/heard it until I watched your video. When Harley shoots Batman you hear the shell casing bouncing around after the shot... that came from a revolver... Shows even more how little they cared about that cinematic.
I played all the Arkham games except for knights and I was really disappointed and enraged as a dc and Arkham Batman fan to have it go out like a pet being put because I felt it sent a message that they didn’t give two shits about the fans who made them so renowned. Honestly, like why?!, this has happened when I watched Star Wars, when Han Solo was killed, when they kill Joel just for Ellie to not get revenge, and now this, I’m honestly shocked that they greenlit this garbage, after they killed Batman I uninstalled it, screamed every curse I knew, and demanded a full refund for the horrible performance and the shit that the people who wrote this story shoveled into my face
I have been using the words "baffling" and "confounding" to describe the narrative of this game. Everything the characters do make me ask questions. Why does Brainiac want to make EARTH into New Colu when he has access not just to all of fucking space, but potentially OTHER UNIVERSES? Why did the Squad even continue working for Waller at all, when they knew early on that Waller DESTROYED the bomb removal machine, and later she told her task force she would never let them go? Why are the squad members EXCITED to keep killing more Brainiacs in the end? These are just some of the questions I had.
I prefer the Brainiac from the comics and Injustice where he collects worlds to enhance his knowledge and since Brainiac's home world is pretty much irrelevant to him I don't know where the f they got this from
For the squad and Waller, they still have bombs in their necks and she can detonate them at any time. The only reason they are alive after their betrayal is that Waller expected them too just to get at Lex
The people who left rocksteady willingly or were let go for not agreeing but be laughing their asses off seeing this happen. And have their heads held high that they individually are still associated with the better era
I will say it's not an issue any class can use any gun; hell look at Borderlands, however it's the fact not any class can easily synergize with every gun.
My theory for this game is no one at rocksteady wanted to make a suicide squad game and that warner brothers made them change the story multiple times the reason i think this is due to rocksteadys respect for lore and former design which is just not shown in this game and my ongoing guess is rocksteady had to rework and overhaul entire systems in the game during development with some assets in the files just never getting used or shown in any cutscenes most of the blame can be shown to warner brothers during this travesty of a game
Not true, it was Sefton Hill. He’s the one the devs are blaming. WB only wanted them to make a SS game instead of a bat family game and maybe the live service element too
So last night upon finishing the upload of this video, I spent a combined $60 on the PS Store, not counting tax. You know what I got? Helldivers 2 and Persona 4 Golden. $10 less than this hunk of trash. I just wanted you to know that, take your $70 elsewhere.

Yooooooo Helldivers
Heck helldivers and palworld the two games that got really popular is the same price as suicide squad but much better
Gonna dis agree with you a bit captain boomarang voice actor is ok if he wasn't as loud and made his voice 25 to 37 less gravely it would be good
So you decided one of the games is good for you. lol suicide squad is still a good game....💯🔥
It gets even worse when you realize Everything that happend in Arkham Knight is now Pointless cause of this game.

They already ruined him. Shoulda been Bloodsport like the second Suicide Squad movie, but that would only solve one tiny problem this "game" has.
Ain't no way you ctually pay for this game, bro. Giving it to charity would've been better.
Well I did it so you won’t have to. Had to see it for myself.
@@Zitiboi well, let's not waste money like that, shall we 😅 BTW, you planning making a video for Sekiro?
Zitiboi:"Everything they did with Wonder Woman is perfect."
Me:"That is highly debateable..."
Also me: ‘laughs in Luther’s toxic masculinity simp’
If this game was just called Suicide Squad
give Deadshot the guns
Harley her pistol, bat, & freeflow combat,
Boomerang his boomerangs, & freeflow combat,
King shark just brute strength & biting animations
This game would've been so much better. And if they didn't kill the JL and just have them be that secret taskforce that gets deployed somewhere, this would've been so much better
this would both fix the Game and the Moives, The S Squad is perfect for being a team the govermnet uses to do some super shadey mission
That’s probably what would’ve happened if WB Montreal kept making the game. You can thank WB for that
This is why I always say that if there is a 4-5+ years between last game and game is about to release its not a game "from the creators of X", its a game from a different studio so there is 0 reason to think its gonna be good, and it should be treated as a game from a any other noname studio with similar budget. and 4-5+ years is very generous, look at what happened with 2077 between 2017 and release, they cut everything including non-linear story it was supposed to have. In case of this game its almost 10 years since last game, this last game was far from perfect and its a studio owned by f-ing warner... wtf did people expected? a masterpiece that would be remembered generations later?LOL
Honeslty. This game has a lot of problems. The boss figths have interesting ideas but just feel plain stupid given how every preivous scene sets up how easily each hero can overpower the squad. The story is fine for the most part if a bit dumb, and the gameplay is fun enouph, but repetative as there isn't anything to spice it up/change or improve it past what you get at the start. Even hhe skill trees feel a bit tacked on as they don't really change how you play.
But if you ask me, most of the games issues stem from the decicion not to make this a live service, but a looter shooter. This was an incredibly bad decicion in my book for one reason. It made the game desgined around fighting the random enemies and minions. And NOT around the boss fights. And that's a huge issue.
This games combat systems and mechanics are NOT desgined for boss fights at ALL. It's desgined for frantic, chaotic shoot outs. Not boss fights against super powered indiivduals. They can't create interesting mehanics or gameplay moments, beacuse the whole thing is desinged around guns and moving from place to place and shooting things.
How would you make a boss fight against batman work? He's just a human being in a batsuit. He can't use his gadgets to disable our guns or we can't even fight. He can't sneak around and ambush us beacuse we have no means to counter that. He can't jump down and punch us, beacuse we have no melee combos or mechanics beyond the basic attack.
This extends to the whole game. Looter shooters generally don't have very good boss fights outside of borderlands and this game proves why.
Rather than building itslef around each characters unique gimmick and skll set, eveyone just shoots and gets around the city diffrently. THAT is a huge problem and explains why each boss fight feels so dumb. There is nothing they can acutally DO with this combat system.
Functionally, let's think about this. How is Joker going to play any diffrent to deathstroke? Or Mr/Nora Freeze in future content? He moves around the citty diffrently? What else? What is the point of new playable characters if they all play the same at the end of the day and don't have anything to truly make them unique comabt wise?
This is the biggest issue with the game, nobody wanted a looter shooter from rocksteady. And don't even get me started on the story, I'd be typing an entire essay if I listed everything wrong with that mess they call a story.
At First I was skeptical that the Justice League would be killed by the Suicide Squad but I thought WB mislead us and that they would Unbrainwashed later, but then when they Announced that this will be connected to the Arkham Series I was one of the few people who saw the Red Flags, then Kevin Conroy passed away and this would have been one of the Last Roles( with Crisis Part 3 seemingly being his Final Role), and don’t get me started on the multiple Delays for 3 Goddamn Years, the Shooting Mechanic, and the Live Server B$, I knew that this would be not just a Bad Game, but a Insult to DC and Arkham Fans that would have loved to see Rocksteady make either a Superman, Batman Beyond, or Justice League Game but now it’s clear that the Original People behind the Arkham Games have left and are given the Keys to New People that don’t understand what they’re doing that would lead this Once Great Company into Bankruptcy in the Most Distasteful and Distasteful Way Possible, Nobody in their Right Minds would want a Game that you killed off Some of your Favorite Heroes in Cold Blood, the Live Server Shooter Angle is a Terrible Game for a DC Game, the Only Good Character is King Shark, I like Deadshot but his Anger with Green Lantern is Doom, this is the Wrost Harley Quinn played by Tara Strong I didn’t like, Captain Boomerang is the Worst Character in the Game, Lex is more Enjoyable than Waller, the Graphics are a Major Downgrade to the Arkham Games especially when Knight was pure Perfection even if the Game is Overrated, the Side Characters are Boring, and is just Depressing and Not in a Good or Enjoyable Way when you Play or Watch, all I can Say is that MK1 and Spider-Man 2 are far better than this Abomination that I wish was Cancelled completely.
The sad thing is that it feels like it could have been a good game, but it was clearly forced through the live service strainer.
Rocksteady....how the mighty has fallen looks like they lived long enough to become the villain
They're just gonna say it was the Justice League from another multiverse or some shit capeshit writing has no consequences or weight lol
Why? Sweet Baby Inc. Simple as that.
I honestly don't think there's anywhere for Rocksteady to go that'll bring anyone back....They treated one of DC's most Iconic characters for decades and the progenitor of their company like this.... So, I don't think many would trust any character based game from them anymore... then you throw in that this is CANON...and Theres nowhere to go, no Justice League, No Batman, No Superman, they would have to start with a different ark entirely.. And then, Im not sure how Warner Bros/DC would let them after seeing what they did after 7+ years of development. Hell, any company would be wary after this and the time they took to create this bull...
You either die a hero…or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Cere junda cameo, game is now 10/10
This game doesn’t deserve persona music
Dude, this was a FANTASTIC review. Excellent job man.
Honestly I prefer marvel avengers because at least over there they have somewhat different attacks and actually use their powers
Good news this isn’t Kevin last performance he set to voice Batman In a upcoming movie
34:00 wow look guys captain boomerang just earned some evil points
95% of plays don’t even believe it’s cannon, that’s how shit of a game it is, and the fact that jokers side piece was the one to kill one of the best Batman’s in DC is fuckin insane.
Dunno, what it is... But your style and your review of the Souls series was the most entertaining thing i've seen on this platform for a while. You deserve a sub.
Appreciate that man!
Wait that's Samoa Joe as King Shark? I'd scream in anger, but I'm in a library. My word what a waste of casting, and he's the best part imo too.
Personally I prefer Avengers. The story mode at least felt like an actual video game. I never found Squad to be fun. Avengers at least you feel like Captain America when you play Captain America. You feel like Iron Man when you play Iron Man. And the traversal cooldown is insane. I tried to main Harley, I really did. But some Riddler traversal challenges as her, just don't work. I'm glad I started with her because once I got her to 30 I dropped her like a bad habit. Black Widow in Avengers plays kind of like Harley, but I don't remember feeling miserable when I played as Black Widow. Iron Man to me felt better than Deadshot. Hulk at least felt like the Hulk when I played as him. The only thing that made characters unique in Suicide Squad was the melee button and traversal. The only part I liked was when Batman hunts you. They could have made a cool Batman asymettrical multiplayer game out of that. We got this instead.
King shark calling journalism valid in the 2023/2024s is funny cuz journalism has basically become a joke somewhere durijg 2010
I think he means news journalism since Lois is not a gaming journalist
Damn bro I don’t even watch anything Star Wars related but I just knew you were talking about Gus fring
Agreed. The new series, "Pinkman", should have focused on the struggling between Goombas and the Mushroom Kingdom.
The two founders of Rocksteady are gone, and so are the original devs.
What's left is nothing but talentless hacks and sweet baby inc
Those two founders worked on it for years and left only a while before launch. They made this
@@Luis-rp2lmTHATS WHAT IM SAYING
@@Luis-rp2lm100% they helped make the shit, they just didn't want to stick around to smell it
@@Luis-rp2lmNah
@Luis-rp2lm lies
34:12 That cutaway gag cut me off guard. 😆
Hot take
Instead of wonder woman getting the respectful death
It should be batman fighting superman and dies a actual hero then a sick dog.
I consider it a win win
Arkham batman is not treated like this because he didn't deserve any of what sweet baby inc did to him
And it shows that Superman could just end batman during a fight
Especially since this superman is willing to kill
Or better yet
MAKE A ARKHAM BEFORE MAKING THIS
I completely agree with you
29:47 to me Captain boomerang just talked entirely too much I'm pretty sure he had the most lines in the entire game. His voice wasn't grating just too much talking
14:36 GENERATOR?!?😭💀
Must have been the dumbest creative meeting ever. You kill the characters you would rather play as and you play as the lamest villains in the whole DC universe.
28:30 I’m actually sick and tired of Tara Strong’s Harley
I only want this game to not die really quickly so they can’t go oh wait they’re actually alive which they are no doubt going to do so that we could still get actual Arkham games or even a justice league game
The game did die as soon as it released, their only plan now is just to release the additions from their live service plan
5 mission designs? Damn, even the first The Division had more options than that.
Watching the cutscenes just made me think about how this couldve been a pretty cool wonder woman game.
1:02 fight me, cuz if not for the existence of Ultimate Alliance, I would absolutely agree with you 😂✊🏽🔥
Yeag, generally Deadshot was supppse to be the most competent person on the squad who keeps everyone in line. Yes Arkham City Deadshot would be like this because he was like this in the Assault on Arkham Movie.
Deadshot is not Deadshot. On the same not Harley from Arkham games would not act the way she does in Sucide Squad
Fun fact: If you go through some audio logs. You will find out how the Justice League got brainwashed by Brainiac. And it will make this universe even worse. Not canon or not. Beloved characters or not
I dont want to do that so can you please just tell me how
@@diredm3889 because they made super man a f.cking idiot
@@diredm3889well, superman sees brainiacs ship and decides to go into said shop for a welcome party and a truce. Batman obviously calls him out on this bullshit but somehow gives in.
Flash uses his super speed on the ship to get out and I think WW stayed on the watch tower… I mean, she did stay there during the invasion which was two weeks
And to think they had the time on their hands to make a superman game and refused to make one. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
lol Samoa Joe as King Shark?! thats awesome😎🔥
Then again captain boomerang in comics is aussie a hole. So yeah this is faithful to the comic
Dev time is 1 year max...I don't care what journalists say.
Batman Arkham trilogy can be playable offline, but Suicide Squad kill the justice league are unplayable offline
Batman Arkham Trilogy and Arkham Origins
@@vaulthuntershawn260quad
Iam kinda surprised that rocksteady still hasn’t said anything
Not a statement
Not even an explanation
The game is almost entirely dead but no one gives even an attempt of explanation
Well… they did. They just blamed Seth when he only was radio silent and the devs didn’t do a thing to try and fix the game but then marketed it with smiles on their faces
Every negative you had on this game avengers DIDNT have at launch
More missions
Better story
Better boss battles
coop attacks
Horde mode
Better combat and detail to characters
Better paid costumes
Actual skill tree not buffs and numbers
A purpose to use another hero
wtf did yall play bro cancel culture is wild
The credibility goes out the window when it’s said SS is better than avengers with only 3 missions and one gameplay mechanic which avengers has in the game
Please people go back and actually play the games before speaking about them the game failed from the content drops being to far apart to keep players
Its like Sony players making fun of gears for years to then say Helldivers is original and amazing 10/10
But gears was lame for the past ten years
It took them over 7 years to make this game.
The Duke Nukem Forever of this generation.
your boomerang impression was hilarious
28:26 I'll admit, that one actually got me laughin pretty good.
As a massive Superman and Batman fan, I can't tell whether I hate this game more for ruining the legacy of the Arkham Batman games, or for throwing all the absolute potential of a single-player Superman game in the same vein as Arkham or the Spider-Man's into the garbage (and also character assassinating both Batman and Superman themselves).
So just hate them for both those reasons
Great video.
-Spoiler item below-
I had heard other people mention the following mistake, but I had not actually seen/heard it until I watched your video. When Harley shoots Batman you hear the shell casing bouncing around after the shot... that came from a revolver... Shows even more how little they cared about that cinematic.
This rocksteady doesn't have the same people as the old rocksteady
18:49 the whole point of a rare weapon is that it's unique gameplay wise, a bad unique has no unique gameplay mechanics.
I honesty hate that i spent money on this game 🤷♂️
They spent a year in the first two hours of the game
The current state of AAA gaming, you are yearning for games made in the PS3 era. This is the norm, not the exception
AAAA* also you mean the ps4 era at the very least but yes this is sadly the norm
You lost Azalean points when you said Captain Boomerang is the most insufferable.
no, that's Harley Quinn.
Hollywood and gaming stopped hiring based on talent. It’s DEI, ESG and AI that is killing our escapisms.
Foolish, it's Capitalism doing the damage here. Those three things you're talking about are just a smokescreen and a diversion.
I really want someone to interview the writers of the Arkham series.
Im dying to hear their thoughts. Who agrees?
Count me in I really want to see that
I played all the Arkham games except for knights and I was really disappointed and enraged as a dc and Arkham Batman fan to have it go out like a pet being put because I felt it sent a message that they didn’t give two shits about the fans who made them so renowned. Honestly, like why?!, this has happened when I watched Star Wars, when Han Solo was killed, when they kill Joel just for Ellie to not get revenge, and now this, I’m honestly shocked that they greenlit this garbage, after they killed Batman I uninstalled it, screamed every curse I knew, and demanded a full refund for the horrible performance and the shit that the people who wrote this story shoveled into my face
Tbf Harrison Ford hated playing the character… but then again he did return as a ghost or something for a sequel later down the line
4/10? More like -10000000/10
showed Muta screaming into his shirt😆🤣
It makes me feel like im not even wanted as a DC fan anymore if im being honest
Theres other things i can spend my time caring about
The disrespect of the male Justice Leaguers.
Q: How is this game from the studio I loved so bad?
A: There's no one left at RockSteady who worked on Arkham(s).
4/10 is extremely high imo
Agreed
Yeah 4/10 is being too generous
30:35 was really funny.
29:29 All right, that was pretty funny.
I have been using the words "baffling" and "confounding" to describe the narrative of this game. Everything the characters do make me ask questions. Why does Brainiac want to make EARTH into New Colu when he has access not just to all of fucking space, but potentially OTHER UNIVERSES? Why did the Squad even continue working for Waller at all, when they knew early on that Waller DESTROYED the bomb removal machine, and later she told her task force she would never let them go? Why are the squad members EXCITED to keep killing more Brainiacs in the end? These are just some of the questions I had.
I prefer the Brainiac from the comics and Injustice where he collects worlds to enhance his knowledge and since Brainiac's home world is pretty much irrelevant to him I don't know where the f they got this from
For the squad and Waller, they still have bombs in their necks and she can detonate them at any time.
The only reason they are alive after their betrayal is that Waller expected them too just to get at Lex
The people who left rocksteady willingly or were let go for not agreeing but be laughing their asses off seeing this happen. And have their heads held high that they individually are still associated with the better era
That makes sense because having games like this on your resume is a red flag
i bet the devs heard "you're best... jo-kuh" and lost it xD i can hear them clappin and whooing XD
I will say it's not an issue any class can use any gun; hell look at Borderlands, however it's the fact not any class can easily synergize with every gun.
I know this is unrelated but ur voice reminds me of the red hood’s in the under the red hood movie.
"That took me two hours, you wanna see what I can get done in a whole evening?"
My theory for this game is no one at rocksteady wanted to make a suicide squad game and that warner brothers made them change the story multiple times the reason i think this is due to rocksteadys respect for lore and former design which is just not shown in this game and my ongoing guess is rocksteady had to rework and overhaul entire systems in the game during development with some assets in the files just never getting used or shown in any cutscenes most of the blame can be shown to warner brothers during this travesty of a game
Not true, it was Sefton Hill. He’s the one the devs are blaming. WB only wanted them to make a SS game instead of a bat family game and maybe the live service element too
I love the not very buggy part XD
