ArkhamVerse Harley Quinn literally helped Joker torture Jason Todd into hating Batman and becoming the Arkham Knight, which led to Jason helping scarecrow and killing thousands of people. Heck she’s the reason he called himself “the Arkham knight” it was a nickname she gave him. Her lecturing Batman about causing emotional trauma is actually insane.
She also impersonated a doctor, overdosed sick, little girl. Then she impersonated psychitarist and convinced her grieving father to sell amusement park that he made for his daughter to The Joker and to commit suicide using pills with Joker's toxin in them. You can find recordings about it in Batgirl's dlc.
You know for a fact the writing staff for this didn’t read a single fucking script from the previous 4 games (YOU CANT IGNORE ORIGINS ROCKSTEADY, Those WBI devs tried, the multiplayer was proof of that)
Harley fuckin' Quinn moralizing to Batman is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. The same Harley that has kidnapped people, murdered them, robbed people, manipulated them, and then laughed about it later with her sociopath clown boyfriend. The writers behind this game should honestly never be hired again. They had zero respect for the characters they butchered, because fans of the source material would not have written some garbage like this.
Not to mention, she's also the one who drugged, waterboarded, and gaslighted Jason, even naming him the Arkham Knight in between beatings and torture from Joker.
Basically they were trying to use the anti-hero style Harley Quinn from the movies and modern comic books. If this game was unconnected from the other ones it would be possible to manage it, but their insistence on connecting it to the Arkham games blows that out of the water because she had been established accross those games to be an unrepentant pure badguy and a simp for the joker. It isn't enough to just say she changed in the time between the Arkham games and Kill the Justice League, they're trying to sell us the line that she was always a completely different character than the one we have all seen the whole time! At least if a comic book does a recon, they give a reason why a character was acting in a certain way, like they were brainwashed or coerced or were trying to trick someone. In this they just said "she was different than what you actually saw. Why? Don't ask us, try asking someone who gives a crap!"
The scene that gives it away is Harley fireman carrying Batman as a callback to when he did it to her in Arkham. You can tell they were seething at that for years
@@Seoul_Soldier They could have but that would imply they care about the lore or the fans. The big focus here is disrespect. You will eat trash and like it. The point is to show that male fans have no self-respect and will take anything because they are slaves to their hobbies. This is the only reason why they do this. They would NEVER race-swap or make Barbie fat and ugly. No for women, they get exactly what they want. No B/S. No old barbie or body-positive barbie. They get idealized perfect Western barbie.
Honestly, if they wanted an irreverent 'let's kill the Justice league!' (Or Crime Syndicate more accurately, since then it explains why they don't ever gang up on you) (maybe even have the Crime Syndicate trapped the Justice League in their world so you need to get them to be scared enough that they'll go back/give them back) Then you could have made a Red hood and the outlaws game. They would fit in the dark tone of the Arkham verse, and Jason already has experience being a commander of an entire army so none of it is out of character really. In fact it almost makes sense that he'd be the one to set up his own gang/team if he's still astranged from the Bat's.
@@Seoul_Soldierthis game started dev around the first movie. It’s brand synergy. The same reason Harley is more like the movies/shows than herself from Arkham
Great points again man! Although I still have to disagree about the purposeful disgrace of the hero characters. Batman gets unceremoniously executed, broken and helpless. Flash is the saving grace of the sushi squad, and for his goodness is humiliated, denigrated, and nearly has his still warm corpse pissed on. Green lantern is put into the simple role of “space cop" and "cop bad and evil" and for some reason has Deadshot in a rivalry with him, which makes no sense. Wonder women is…..there, is the only one to get a decent death, because we can’t show women in a bad light, or something. And Superman, again, is literally just some super powered chump who is portrayed as a monster, which is such a tired and drawn out plot line. Can you make a game, with this plot, work? Yep. But not here, not while shattering the image of these heroes that people love and have grown up with.
This is the most disrespectful game I've ever seen. Sweet Baby Inc purposefully wrote this in a way to disgrace Batman, Superman, the Flash and Green Lantern. The only character treated with any reverence is Wonder Woman, for obvious reasons. And even she died like a chump. I'm glad that this game is failing harder than Gotham Knights did, at least that game gave Batman a death that made sense for him.
The game can work but the studio have different views on how heros are seen Rocksteady thought its story will be praised and played endlessly ,these poor fools
What makes it worse is that they only got the surface level of these characters from The Justice League animated series by Bruce Tim (and I say surface level because of course they have Barry instead of the GOAT Wally). The fact John Stewart and Deadshot know each other because “Black male Het.Comp TM” fucking infuriates me as a black man, I’m tired of the “Basketball/Gangsta BlueVBlack rival”dynamic from these plain-vanilla-as-fuck-never-seen-people-from-the-hood idiot writers.

1:09 Best to clarify, the "bad" Arkane is Arkane Austin, the newer studio. Arkane Lyon is still the same devs who made Dishonored and Deathloop. Austin is who made Redfall.
Another studio pissing on its' own legacy when the whales came in and replaced talented people with... whatever this is. They need to go the Volition way.
17:05 = Then why would they flip from making three respectful Batman games and then sinking him in filth? They hired Sweet Baby Inc. They went along with their character-assassination. This doesn't just happen. They had a script that deliberately humiliated Batman. This isn't the Rocksteady that made the Arkham games. It has the same name, but the people working there are not the same.
Ignore the disrespect? Why? We all knew that people who don’t give a shot about the lore and character arcs of beloved characters would make a shit game.
There's an animated canon Arkham movie spin off about the Suicide Squad set before City, King Shark dies, Captain Boomerang dies, and Amanda Waller dies (from a Deadshot headshot). Glad to see these characters recover from being dead
It's 100% possible to write a story with Villain(s) in the lead and have a game centered around them Look at Prototype. You're genuinely an absolute psychopath, but the gameplay's so damn fun and Alex Mercer, while generic, does have some interesting story beats Look at GTA, any of them (but mostly IV) Look at God of War Look at Saints Row 2 etc You're 100% hitting it on the head, you just need good writing and great gameplay
I disagree about God of War. Kratos isn’t a total villian, he originally starts out doing the God’s bidding to help lose his traumatic memories, and it is only after they all basically tell him to go fuck himself does he go kill crazy. And even then, he tries to kill himself first BEFORE trying to kill them. But they literally won’t let him die, pretty fucked up on both fronts. Secondly, the gods he fights against are not good people. This is why you never feel bad when Kratos kills them, they are total assholes. Moreover, Kratos is pretty merciful, he gives multiple dieties chances to just step aside and not fight, but they all refuse his mercy and mock him for it. He tells Hercules that his fight isn’t with him, but Hercules chooses to fight. He would have let Hera live in the garden but she kept pestering him, and he let it slide multiple times before killing her. He’s also shown compassion for his men in GoW2 and his backstory so, he’s an anti-hero at worst.
Man seeing the justice league interactions before the brainwashing makes it even more depressing that we didn’t get a justice league game. The story could have been about Batman learning to trust again after Arkham knight, and end in him coming out of “hiding”publicly because despite the world knowing his identity, he’s not alone in protecting the world and his loved ones.
And if they really wanted a fight the justice league game why not use the one guy who canonically has a plan for each individual justice league member to point the suicide squad in the right direction?
i mentioned on another video that whether people liked or hated knights that game had batman's death mean something as tim dick jason and barbs actually held bruce in high regard pre and post post death(evident by both the recording blooper and how they act visiting his grave). and they fought for gotham against the court of owls because not only is that what bruce would do but because regardless of that none of them would just stand by as the people of gotham suffer. they have two reasons to fight. for bruce and the city he sacrificed his mind and body to protect hundreds if not thousands of times. bruce died twice in knights and both deaths respected the character.
Yep. It should have been a lot more for each boss fight. Like use the speed force decoupler plus boomers gauntlet, to force the point that boomer is slowing flash down, while boosting his speed, then develop a way to make an arena in extreme cold to fight him. The yellow lantern key chains somehow infuse yellow energy into guns....sure, but why not fight GL in the batcave? Fight GL in the dark, limit his movement, and fill the cave with fear toxin to disrupt his will..
why aren't more people mad about flash being disrespected? its not like batman had 4 games that are critically acclaimed and invented the genre and even got goty with millions of fans
It honestly would be a better game if they were assholes at first but as they realize they kill batman and the other justice leauge members they reconsile and actually grow as characters like if harley broke down finally understanding bruce was trying to save and help her for the longest time and its only after his death that she finally breaks her psychosis
I like to believe that DC, WB, and Rocksteady have a little echo in their heads saying “we should not have killed Batman, we should not have connected this to the Arkham verse”
The Flash pulling out Lex's heart is also dumb because the writers must not know where the human heart is. The blood stain is on the far left of Lex's chest, like basically at where his nipple would be. The human heart is more so in the middle of your chest. So idk what the game thinks Flash pulled out of Lex, but it wasn't his heart, should have been a lung or something.
this is true, was thinking it was a gore thing, mabye didnt want to show that, but they showed the heart beating in flashes hand and they did pull of green lanterns finger, wondering if they were just lazy
You brought up the idea of a bunch of misfits working with Batman and that basically made me think of The Outsiders. (at their first appearance anyway) they were literally a group of misfits brought together by Batman to be something of an alternative to the Justice League. That would have been a very interesting idea to use them as the people to fight the brainwashed Justice League and could give some more flexibility in temperment and powers to fight and they wouldn't have to lean on the whole "being villains" thing. But, the Suicide Squad had the movies and it had to be a live-service thrid person shooter so any creativity in gameplay and characters had to be thrown out to make the repeat paying grindy crap that people are getting more and more sick of!
It’s a shame because I actually really liked the game and even got to finite crisis rank 100, got the gold outfits, all characters max level, and great tier 3 builds; but the game’s servers are so broken I can’t even log into the game anymore. They release some updates that claim to address server issues but everyone on Reddit is complaining about the same issues. Even the people like myself that like the game can’t enjoy it because it’s broken. Hopefully the next year of content releases and is good, but I think this is the next Anthem.
@@weemeathead I’ve been playing live service games since 2014, generally I like them. I understand people’s’ complaints against the game but the gameplay is fun and reminds me of sunset overdrive. Didn’t take the story too seriously and had fun with it
@weemeathead the builds have a lot of promise. The fights can get very challenging and fun at endgame and I don’t buy into much of the story as I think they’re joke writers telling jokes. Too many hints that they’re clones or not dead to flip out. Imagine if they had a cutscene at the end showing the JL in pods or something. Prob where they gotta go with the story I hope. If not idc I just want them to release more variety of sets and maybe this bad press means they’ll up their timetable
@Eesh_ It's kinda sad the more games don't play like sunset overdrive I love that game. Also I don't really remember but did the zombie apocalypse of that game really start because of a ripoff Sunkist drink??
0:47 LOL "I don't know any more." 3:55 "I'm more interested in the narrative being a mess." HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA 19:59 - Don't give any ideas. 20:44 WHAT??? Sefton Hill and Ian Ball? HOW!? Something is not explained right here...
Literally the only two characters done right in this entire game. Wonder Woman and Amanda Waller. The scene where she's trying to break through to the Flash and she does just for a brief moment. That moment 10/10 you can hear the pain in her voice when he pleads for her to kill him. Amanda Waller is as disgusting as she is badass but still has just a hint of that humanity left in when she literally gets someone else's blood on her. That moment of shock and confusion before forcing that side of herself to be hidden again. So good. Everyone else horrible. Deadshot is a blank nobody. Shark is just a worse Drax. Boomerang is just annoying start to finish and like.. potential murders multiple kids like wtf.. and Harley oh my God I'm actually pissed about what they did with her. The entire game she talks shit about the Joker and what she was like with him but.. that's not how Harley's story ended. In Knight she was still obsessed with you Joker and grieving him. She never got to have her character arc where she gets over him. At least not on screen. I loved what they did with Harley in Arkham Knight and the Arkham City seeing her grieve over the Joker the way she was is something that hadn't been done before to my knowledge and was really fun. But they ruined it and skipped all that character growth for a few cheap jokes.
Amanda waller is done right????? Did u play the same game? The one where she just launches a nuke to get it over with, has cringe af dialogue, let the squad implant each other where they could have easily killed each other, rendering her plan useless, gives up in the middle of the game, and is all bark and no bite, "I'm YoUr DaDdY nOwW!!!" Yikes
Personally, I think they should make a Justice League game where you play as just Batman and you give out orders like the Guardians of the Galaxy game that Square Enix did not this live service crapshoot that will die in 2 years
Perfection. Another great video on the game that sums up what is wrong with this story. The gameplay we already know is bad, but the genera it's of looters shooters aren't bad, just not up my alley, but this is the WORST version of the genera. The story/writing is the BIGGEST sin along side the gameplay/live-service $hit.
It's very weird how people highlight Batman's death specifically when he got more fanfare than all the other characters put together. Superman has like three lines of dialogue in the whole game.
It's sad that they failed so hard! The best things they have in the game are average! Then there's the story and the live service aspects! Those SUCK! And if they don't fix them,the game will fail!😡
The plot would've made a lot more sense if they had just swapped the roles between Batman and WW.....WW is strong enough to beat Flash an GL in a1v1 fight but Batman would need help. They could've even added a backstory where he tried fighting the indoctrinated JL and lost Nightwing or Robin. Not to mention that Batman is a strategist and Brainiac doesn't need a strategist so it seems strange that he'd go after Batman and not WW. BTW you missed Bethisda in that list of game companies that are now shit.
Long gone are the days people made games for the passion, now it's all aout money. Little do they know they'd have more money if they did something at least half decent.
Well, considering that most people who worked on the Batman games aren't with rocksteady anymore and the rest didn't really know what to do, especially with a live service game, it's no surprise this game is a trainwreck. Adding to that the influence of woke activists from Sweet Baby Inc. who heavily influenced the writing, it was clear even before KTJL came out, that it will be a disaster that only has one goal: pushing "the message" at all costs. Well, it cost rocksteady a pretty penny and I'd not be surprised if they have to close shop.
Also you can (and you did, this comment is just for people that STILL don't get it) extend the argument of Batman's death to Joel's death. Now it's not one to one because Part 2 wasn't setting a season pass live-service where you kill Abby's friends over the course of seasons, but Joel's manner of death really was just to be edgy & shocking. Now you can claim it's to set up that stupid _"cycle of revenge bad m'kay"_ messaging Cuckmann loved repeating, but it's still a bad story with generic messaging that doesn't even actually ring true in reality. Revenge is awesome, you just have to be be okay dealing with any potential outcomes from it. RDR 2 does this better when John wanting revenge on Micah being the reason the Feds even find him for the plot and betrayal of RDR 1. And 1 STILL ends with you getting revenge. And Joel WASN'T seeking revenge when he killed the random NPC male surgeon that has now been retconned to be Abby's father in part 1. He just wanted Ellie. It's still a drastic choice that allowed for a GREAT debate/conversation with gamers on Joel's decision at the Firefly hospital, but part 2 wants to retcon it to be more malicious than it was or at least it's a sin that justifies Joel's horrific tortured death.
And similar to AngryJoe's and Jeremy Jahn's reviews of TLOU part 2, you (and we fans) AWLAYS come up with better ways to tell the story the game originally wanted. Or just a better story in general. I've seen (forgot who) someone even give better gameplay ideas how this game could've been like Batman being active when it's night time and you have to avoid him or can stop him during missions as he's calling out positions and chase him off for a bit so the enemies are less accurate when attacking you, causing too much chaos and (like GTA, since this character is a "Space Cop" like the insulting character bio says) the Green Lantern shows up and you have to run and hide which adds to your idea of the task force X operation being covert. Wonder woman could be like a rare cool down character for missions you can call in for help and switch to until he has to go somewhere else in the city to help. How to manage the flash as a system? I don't know, but our more creative minds can think of something and then Superman is SOLEY for big story moments like stopping the nuke and the final boss. And yeah, you don't even actually have to kill them. That could be the title, but it's a comedic bait & switch, more like "kill" the justice league. And starting off you kind of have to try to out batman, batman and take him down, break the brainwashing and he ends up helping you un brainwash the rest. Instead of like Oracle's voice we hear like from the Arkham games, it's Kevin Conroy's helping us on missions. There is SOOOO much they could've done.
That won't stop them from stooping lower with each passing year. Soon we'll come to the point every media is made with Idiocracy's "Ass" movie kind of standard, and consumers will have to love it, or else.
Gotham knights never will be a masterpiece,but I had a helluva lot more fun on there than ssktjl. The lame repetitiveness and lack of endgame content killed it for me. Everything else,I’ll gladly say I liked.
Sorry but batman melee combat was taken from assassins creed and no it was perfected by batman as assassins creed melee combat still not only holds up but still is better than batman.

Bro I’m loving the green screen full body narration of this video. Different and better than the normal YT format. Wish you the best, subscribed!
Glad you enjoy it
Baby Inc definitely did it on purpose.
Let’s just all come together and agree that this game is not canon and doesn’t exists
Another studio pissing on its' own legacy when the whales came in and replaced talented people with... whatever this is. They need to go the Volition way.
You hit it out the park with your first line.
17:05 = Then why would they flip from making three respectful Batman games and then sinking him in filth?
They hired Sweet Baby Inc. They went along with their character-assassination. This doesn't just happen. They had a script that deliberately humiliated Batman.
This isn't the Rocksteady that made the Arkham games. It has the same name, but the people working there are not the same.
Ignore the disrespect? Why?
We all knew that people who don’t give a shot about the lore and character arcs of beloved characters would make a shit game.
more to make a point that the game is a mess in its own right outside of that disrespectful stuff
There's an animated canon Arkham movie spin off about the Suicide Squad set before City, King Shark dies, Captain Boomerang dies, and Amanda Waller dies (from a Deadshot headshot). Glad to see these characters recover from being dead
It's 100% possible to write a story with Villain(s) in the lead and have a game centered around them
Look at Prototype. You're genuinely an absolute psychopath, but the gameplay's so damn fun and Alex Mercer, while generic, does have some interesting story beats
Look at GTA, any of them (but mostly IV)
Look at God of War
Look at Saints Row 2
etc
You're 100% hitting it on the head, you just need good writing and great gameplay
I disagree about God of War. Kratos isn’t a total villian, he originally starts out doing the God’s bidding to help lose his traumatic memories, and it is only after they all basically tell him to go fuck himself does he go kill crazy. And even then, he tries to kill himself first BEFORE trying to kill them. But they literally won’t let him die, pretty fucked up on both fronts.
Secondly, the gods he fights against are not good people. This is why you never feel bad when Kratos kills them, they are total assholes. Moreover, Kratos is pretty merciful, he gives multiple dieties chances to just step aside and not fight, but they all refuse his mercy and mock him for it. He tells Hercules that his fight isn’t with him, but Hercules chooses to fight. He would have let Hera live in the garden but she kept pestering him, and he let it slide multiple times before killing her. He’s also shown compassion for his men in GoW2 and his backstory so, he’s an anti-hero at worst.
Man seeing the justice league interactions before the brainwashing makes it even more depressing that we didn’t get a justice league game. The story could have been about Batman learning to trust again after Arkham knight, and end in him coming out of “hiding”publicly because despite the world knowing his identity, he’s not alone in protecting the world and his loved ones.
And if they really wanted a fight the justice league game why not use the one guy who canonically has a plan for each individual justice league member to point the suicide squad in the right direction?
i mentioned on another video that whether people liked or hated knights that game had batman's death mean something
as tim dick jason and barbs actually held bruce in high regard pre and post post death(evident by both the recording blooper and how they act visiting his grave). and they fought for gotham against the court of owls because not only is that what bruce would do but because regardless of that none of them would just stand by as the people of gotham suffer. they have two reasons to fight. for bruce and the city he sacrificed his mind and body to protect hundreds if not thousands of times. bruce died twice in knights and both deaths respected the character.
Stumbled upon this video and man! I’m loving this green screen and commentary. 😂
Great points!
Yep. It should have been a lot more for each boss fight. Like use the speed force decoupler plus boomers gauntlet, to force the point that boomer is slowing flash down, while boosting his speed, then develop a way to make an arena in extreme cold to fight him. The yellow lantern key chains somehow infuse yellow energy into guns....sure, but why not fight GL in the batcave? Fight GL in the dark, limit his movement, and fill the cave with fear toxin to disrupt his will..
why aren’t more people mad about Superman being disrespected?
why aren't more people mad about flash being disrespected? its not like batman had 4 games that are critically acclaimed and invented the genre and even got goty with millions of fans
It honestly would be a better game if they were assholes at first but as they realize they kill batman and the other justice leauge members they reconsile and actually grow as characters like if harley broke down finally understanding bruce was trying to save and help her for the longest time and its only after his death that she finally breaks her psychosis
I like to believe that DC, WB, and Rocksteady have a little echo in their heads saying “we should not have killed Batman, we should not have connected this to the Arkham verse”
The Flash pulling out Lex's heart is also dumb because the writers must not know where the human heart is.
The blood stain is on the far left of Lex's chest, like basically at where his nipple would be.
The human heart is more so in the middle of your chest.
So idk what the game thinks Flash pulled out of Lex, but it wasn't his heart, should have been a lung or something.
this is true, was thinking it was a gore thing, mabye didnt want to show that, but they showed the heart beating in flashes hand and they did pull of green lanterns finger, wondering if they were just lazy
Your presentation is amazing, subscribed
You brought up the idea of a bunch of misfits working with Batman and that basically made me think of The Outsiders. (at their first appearance anyway) they were literally a group of misfits brought together by Batman to be something of an alternative to the Justice League. That would have been a very interesting idea to use them as the people to fight the brainwashed Justice League and could give some more flexibility in temperment and powers to fight and they wouldn't have to lean on the whole "being villains" thing. But, the Suicide Squad had the movies and it had to be a live-service thrid person shooter so any creativity in gameplay and characters had to be thrown out to make the repeat paying grindy crap that people are getting more and more sick of!
I don’t know why they didn’t do this. He should’ve had both WW and Luthors role. Secretly helping us
another amazing video keep this up man, its always great seeing your video pop up on my feed
Thanks a ton man
This is some gud shit. Subbed.
I'm surprised at how low the number is with this level of production.
So glad I didn't waste my time playing this but SO glad I watched your video.
i really hope that one theroy, Justice Leauge or whatever it spells is a copy
i’d love to see a cyberpunk video from you
This ain't the same Rocksteady. Just new people using an old name.
It’s a shame because I actually really liked the game and even got to finite crisis rank 100, got the gold outfits, all characters max level, and great tier 3 builds; but the game’s servers are so broken I can’t even log into the game anymore. They release some updates that claim to address server issues but everyone on Reddit is complaining about the same issues. Even the people like myself that like the game can’t enjoy it because it’s broken. Hopefully the next year of content releases and is good, but I think this is the next Anthem.
I'm glad you liked the game somehow, but I hope this game is dead and removed from all storefronts by next year. This game doesn't deserve to exist.
thats lame, can i ask what you like about it?
@@weemeathead I’ve been playing live service games since 2014, generally I like them. I understand people’s’ complaints against the game but the gameplay is fun and reminds me of sunset overdrive. Didn’t take the story too seriously and had fun with it
@weemeathead the builds have a lot of promise. The fights can get very challenging and fun at endgame and I don’t buy into much of the story as I think they’re joke writers telling jokes. Too many hints that they’re clones or not dead to flip out. Imagine if they had a cutscene at the end showing the JL in pods or something. Prob where they gotta go with the story I hope. If not idc I just want them to release more variety of sets and maybe this bad press means they’ll up their timetable
@Eesh_ It's kinda sad the more games don't play like sunset overdrive I love that game.
Also I don't really remember but did the zombie apocalypse of that game really start because of a ripoff Sunkist drink??
This channel is going places
Apparently this is not the same rocksteady... its the one that made arkham vr
Lowkey bullcrap. But its true
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice Legue is so bad that it makes Wanted: Dead look like masterpiece.
0:47 LOL "I don't know any more."
3:55 "I'm more interested in the narrative being a mess." HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
19:59 - Don't give any ideas.
20:44 WHAT??? Sefton Hill and Ian Ball? HOW!? Something is not explained right here...
What's wrong with obsidian though? Their last games were Pentiment, Grounded, and outer worlds. Allnwell received.
Can Wait to rocksteady some how made a Batman Return the suicide Squad Back to Arkham 😅
Literally the only two characters done right in this entire game. Wonder Woman and Amanda Waller. The scene where she's trying to break through to the Flash and she does just for a brief moment. That moment 10/10 you can hear the pain in her voice when he pleads for her to kill him. Amanda Waller is as disgusting as she is badass but still has just a hint of that humanity left in when she literally gets someone else's blood on her. That moment of shock and confusion before forcing that side of herself to be hidden again. So good. Everyone else horrible. Deadshot is a blank nobody. Shark is just a worse Drax. Boomerang is just annoying start to finish and like.. potential murders multiple kids like wtf.. and Harley oh my God I'm actually pissed about what they did with her. The entire game she talks shit about the Joker and what she was like with him but.. that's not how Harley's story ended. In Knight she was still obsessed with you Joker and grieving him. She never got to have her character arc where she gets over him. At least not on screen. I loved what they did with Harley in Arkham Knight and the Arkham City seeing her grieve over the Joker the way she was is something that hadn't been done before to my knowledge and was really fun. But they ruined it and skipped all that character growth for a few cheap jokes.
Amanda waller is done right????? Did u play the same game? The one where she just launches a nuke to get it over with, has cringe af dialogue, let the squad implant each other where they could have easily killed each other, rendering her plan useless, gives up in the middle of the game, and is all bark and no bite, "I'm YoUr DaDdY nOwW!!!" Yikes
Personally, I think they should make a Justice League game where you play as just Batman and you give out orders like the Guardians of the Galaxy game that Square Enix did not this live service crapshoot that will die in 2 years
This isn't the first time Sweet baby inc. Ruined a game,they worked on Spider man 2 and the worst parts of thay game was from them
new weemeathead video?? I am ready
your making me blush
This video is top tier 😂
I'll watch soon I promise
Perfection. Another great video on the game that sums up what is wrong with this story. The gameplay we already know is bad, but the genera it's of looters shooters aren't bad, just not up my alley, but this is the WORST version of the genera. The story/writing is the BIGGEST sin along side the gameplay/live-service $hit.
"Genera"....damn
@@anantrawat2311 I hope you realize how sad this makes you look lol.
It's very weird how people highlight Batman's death specifically when he got more fanfare than all the other characters put together. Superman has like three lines of dialogue in the whole game.
Tell me with 100% confidence that batman's death scene made sense
@@juicebox7372 what didn’t make sense to you?
EDIT: I thought it was poorly done but “didn’t make sense” is an odd criticism
It's sad that they failed so hard!
The best things they have in the game are average!
Then there's the story and the live service aspects!
Those SUCK!
And if they don't fix them,the game will fail!😡
Waste of the Arkhamverse
good job
The plot would've made a lot more sense if they had just swapped the roles between Batman and WW.....WW is strong enough to beat Flash an GL in a1v1 fight but Batman would need help. They could've even added a backstory where he tried fighting the indoctrinated JL and lost Nightwing or Robin. Not to mention that Batman is a strategist and Brainiac doesn't need a strategist so it seems strange that he'd go after Batman and not WW. BTW you missed Bethisda in that list of game companies that are now shit.
Not even the same ppl working there. They just name alone so as far I’m concern it’s not canon
This game should have never been made
Long gone are the days people made games for the passion, now it's all aout money. Little do they know they'd have more money if they did something at least half decent.
great video
I'll say this, you won't understand because it's DC Universe Forever 😂🤔
No they intended to be disrespectful
I love Gotham
Knights! Still waiting on some new content😪
Well, considering that most people who worked on the Batman games aren't with rocksteady anymore and the rest didn't really know what to do, especially with a live service game, it's no surprise this game is a trainwreck. Adding to that the influence of woke activists from Sweet Baby Inc. who heavily influenced the writing, it was clear even before KTJL came out, that it will be a disaster that only has one goal: pushing "the message" at all costs. Well, it cost rocksteady a pretty penny and I'd not be surprised if they have to close shop.
The only thing I disagree with is bungie being shit 😭
Why is bungie not shit, what have they done recently that's not shitty?
Also you can (and you did, this comment is just for people that STILL don't get it) extend the argument of Batman's death to Joel's death. Now it's not one to one because Part 2 wasn't setting a season pass live-service where you kill Abby's friends over the course of seasons, but Joel's manner of death really was just to be edgy & shocking. Now you can claim it's to set up that stupid _"cycle of revenge bad m'kay"_ messaging Cuckmann loved repeating, but it's still a bad story with generic messaging that doesn't even actually ring true in reality. Revenge is awesome, you just have to be be okay dealing with any potential outcomes from it. RDR 2 does this better when John wanting revenge on Micah being the reason the Feds even find him for the plot and betrayal of RDR 1. And 1 STILL ends with you getting revenge.
And Joel WASN'T seeking revenge when he killed the random NPC male surgeon that has now been retconned to be Abby's father in part 1. He just wanted Ellie. It's still a drastic choice that allowed for a GREAT debate/conversation with gamers on Joel's decision at the Firefly hospital, but part 2 wants to retcon it to be more malicious than it was or at least it's a sin that justifies Joel's horrific tortured death.
I also hate Waller,
And similar to AngryJoe's and Jeremy Jahn's reviews of TLOU part 2, you (and we fans) AWLAYS come up with better ways to tell the story the game originally wanted. Or just a better story in general. I've seen (forgot who) someone even give better gameplay ideas how this game could've been like Batman being active when it's night time and you have to avoid him or can stop him during missions as he's calling out positions and chase him off for a bit so the enemies are less accurate when attacking you, causing too much chaos and (like GTA, since this character is a "Space Cop" like the insulting character bio says) the Green Lantern shows up and you have to run and hide which adds to your idea of the task force X operation being covert. Wonder woman could be like a rare cool down character for missions you can call in for help and switch to until he has to go somewhere else in the city to help. How to manage the flash as a system? I don't know, but our more creative minds can think of something and then Superman is SOLEY for big story moments like stopping the nuke and the final boss.
And yeah, you don't even actually have to kill them. That could be the title, but it's a comedic bait & switch, more like "kill" the justice league. And starting off you kind of have to try to out batman, batman and take him down, break the brainwashing and he ends up helping you un brainwash the rest. Instead of like Oracle's voice we hear like from the Arkham games, it's Kevin Conroy's helping us on missions. There is SOOOO much they could've done.
Uh😊, marvels avengers was hotbgarbage and didnt offer nearly as much content as ss squad upon initial release
If you played all of TLOU2 and still hate Abby, you quite literally did not understand the game.
This game is trash, but let's not start pretending that Gotham Knights is some masterpiece. That game is boring and repetitive just the same.
That won't stop them from stooping lower with each passing year. Soon we'll come to the point every media is made with Idiocracy's "Ass" movie kind of standard, and consumers will have to love it, or else.
Gotham knights never will be a masterpiece,but I had a helluva lot more fun on there than ssktjl. The lame repetitiveness and lack of endgame content killed it for me. Everything else,I’ll gladly say I liked.
Hated this game and it wss a waste
Loved the review though lad
Sorry but batman melee combat was taken from assassins creed and no it was perfected by batman as assassins creed melee combat still not only holds up but still is better than batman.
Clickbait title🤣🤣 literally only puts videos out on trending topics... and then give terrible review..lol he never even played it.
