I mean, its IGN lol. Thats also why I wanted to focus my video on the information "I would want". I play games nightly, I dont care about the story (I mean, I do, but its not why Im going to buy this) I care about the gameplay loop and if its something I'll be interested in.
IGN review was based on not trying to talk about the game it's self but to confirm the confirmation bias of people who want to hate this game no matter what.
I don't think a lot of Arkham fans know Rocksteady's history. While they're recognized for Batman games they actually made their debut in the industry with a shooting game. So this isn't out of their wheelhouse. Its a return to true form for them.
Honestly, the gameplay itself in isolation seems fine. The real problem and challenge with these kinds of games if they want to make it a long-term project is the endgame loop. Franchises like Monster Hunter basically has the monsters as boss gauntlets that you master and conquer as the endgame loop, while games like Warframe and Destiny are basically dungeon crawlers packaged as shooters. Unless the game is balanced around mastery of the system mechanics in mind as its endgame "progression", it'll be really hard to hook in players for the long-term.

I love the closed alpha the whole segment in the Arkham Museum was amazing. You got the POV of being stalked by Batman. I was hooked. SEEING ARKHAM BATMAN With the JLA was a dream come true. I wish we got to go against a boss fight though. The ending was right before the GL boss. The only gripe that I had was that they needed to remove the always online feature(which they said they're removing ) because i got dced because a server got shut down. The combat is WAY better than how the gameplays have been which is strange because it seems like whoever is playing is doing the most basic stuff while I was pulling different combos. They make a running gag about how deadshot is black too lol. I gave what I play a good 8.5/10 its definitely worthy of being within the Arkham franchise.
A hands-on impression that feels actually genuine. Also, this video does something unlike the live service naysayers never do: acknowledge a live service game that's done well. Too many are immediately dismissive of live service business model and are quick to point the failed ones to justify such a knee-jerk reaction upon hearing the term. I've already decided I was going to play this game anyway because it looks genuinely fun. Many of the negative impressions from other outlets seem like their basing their disdain on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League not being the game they wanted it to be rather than judge the game on its own merits. These same outlets practically dismissed the game upon its announcement and I get the impression their minds have since been made up.
I respect your opinion on it. Personally I don’t believe it is a good game even for live service standards. The story definitely doesn’t reach the lvl of their old games. The gun play will never match what people actually wanted. It’s like being told you get to play as Superman, but your main attacks are with guns. Also the endgame doesn’t seem to have much going for it if it’s gonna be just like the final boss fight. I strongly believe that this is a below average. Again I respect your opinion, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying your content but I just strongly disagree.
@@adamlegros1180Yes, the fuck it is, dude. She is a CHILD. Rocksteady would not write a grown ass Harley being weird towards a kid like that just because in different versions they date. Just stop.
Hearing Benny of all people say he likes it does wonders to make me happy I am all in on this game. Also the words "Crackdown meets Fortnite" has me so ready to get wild
This game doesn't look like it's for me. Nothing about it, from the story and character interactions to the gameplay, looks like something I would enjoy.
My only gripe about the battlepass being cosmetics only, I do however love that they made all story content free for all which is amazing, is that in a comic book game I like to play with all the skins from the characters' history, so the skins being locked behind a battlepass makes me kinda sad, but glass half full, even if I don't get all the skins I at least get all the story, which is still great
you lost me when you defended it being a live service games still 70$ still has a battlepass and has an in game store and probably whatever paid dlc they throw in
@@PaRadaRadathey showed clip of it. She essentially preserved herself through a seed. Which is why this ivy is basically a plant herself. So yes she died but tried to live on..
You explaining that you like multiplayer/live service games a lot while wearing a god of war shirt is pretty funny😂. Glad you liked suicide squad. I’m hyped.
Since they lifted the NDA for Alpha players I’ll ask this. The city to me felt like it had no real sense of place, like all the areas I was in felt and looked pretty much the same. That combined with enemies that felt the same (a few different classes but placed in similar groups around the city). Did you get this feeling at all? Sounds like you’re more in the pocket for this kind of game than me, although I do play some live service games, mainly FFXIV but will dip into others on occasion. I really want to experience the story of this game because the story missions I played were really interesting and I love DC but I feel like I will get super bored with the combat and how the city felt.
I’ve played it and my only concern is the overall gameplay and how transformative it will be once you reach end game. When you introduce skill trees and different builds they have to be distinct and unique enough to feel worth it. Your Deadshot has to feel completely different from your friends build for him. Now they say that it will be that way but from my experience with the game and looking at each characters skill trees I didn’t really see it. But I only played a small portion of the the game and hopefully they improve on this upon their final release and it becomes something more akin to Borderlands as far as build diversity
@@Akinwalesegun Personally for me i would go with superman rebirth adaptation that has clark kent teaching his son Jonathan samuel kent superboy as his little 10 year old self learning how to be a great hero similar to what kratos from god of war 2018 did with his son Atreus and do that gameplay model but through superman and boom problem solved everybody wins.
Agreed I would rather have that then whatever this garbage 🗑 is. I love batman arkhamverse games for 2 reasons the story and the playstyle. As soon as he said it doesn't play like batman that was enough for me to know I won't like it an its a easy skip. An ill just watch the while story on TH-cam, simple. I fill like their using the arkhamverse tag line to real in players that are unaware it's the same in character design an story continuation only. Not gameplay. An that's really gonna bumb lots of players out once they realize it's not.. Ya im not happy about the choices rocksteady made in that regard. Honestly I would of rather them just make a DC game that isn't tied to batman arkhamverse an just do their own thing with it. But they didn't do the smart thing here did they. 😕
@@TevyaSmolkaI like your idea! I’d definitely play that, sounds like a cool way to do a Superman game and make it different from what most people would expect from that character
Idc what anyone says. I'm excited for this game. I know the story is gunna be great and it's Kevin's last performance as Batman, who also turns out to be my favorite comic book hero. Since it's part of the Arkham series, I'm definitely picking it up. Something also tells me it'll be better than Avengers. Hell, I even enjoyed Gotham Knights more than Avengers.
Hello. I did have a question about game play but price. Do you think this is $70 to $100 game? What i mean is do you feel...from the short chapter... that is it different enough from any other game like this to be ok with such a high price? I do understand it might be a hard call because of only the one chapter i get it. Even going off of just having fun with friends, 70 is a hard price to sell to my friends when we can easily play for way cheaper or for free. Also I get everyone values the price of games differently. I am just really interested in your thoughts on it. thank you. Also glad to hear you enjoyed it.
no offense, but i'm not really trust anyone's opinion on this. Rocksteady got people who like these types of games. Doesn't surprise me they only got certain people.
But that’s what companies do they look for the ppl who built their businesses around a certain demographic So they offer that said person a product to push out their group
This guy is convincing me to buy the game🤔. Also I was laughing when you showed that clip of them shooting Flash lol, I think I'm starting to like Captain Boomerang, bro just makes me laugh 😂
I have no friends, sadly, but I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun. I heard you got to play with Dame, so you must be good people. I look forward to more Suicide Squad.
@@Rust·Spencer·Cohle I don't doubt it, it's just not the same as playing with people you know. Like Monster Hunter, if I need to play MP to get thru content I will, otherwise I'll just be solo until I get the Platinum
Pretty clear hint they were romantically involved. I don’t even know what to say…. What I hate about this game is that they should’ve just made this an else worlds story. Rocksteady keeps saying it’s the same Batman we played in the Arkham games. And I love those games. And this game just craps all over it. That is why I won’t play it. Also, I got burned last time I played a live service game. The game got shut down after two years of me investing in it, and it just sucks. Live service games need to die.
@@Unshackled945 They way Captain Boomerang uses the speed force to get where his boomerang is thrown at, Reminded me of the Flying Rajin Jutsu of the Fourth Hokagé. He places his marks on his kunais so he can instantly teleport to where they're thrown at.
I got into the Alpha and it’s an absolute disservice that you guys only got 4-6 hours and only some people seemed to get Chapter 1, and no one got Chapter 2. Chapter 2 was the best section of the Alpha with a lot of really solid story stuff and a big sections celebrating the previous Trilogy. This game desperately needs an Open Beta. It won’t change a lot of people’s minds, but spending a weekend with it completely changed mine. People just need to be able to try it risk free.
I was so excited when the game was announced and then like many others, felt disappointed when I heard about it being live service and was a looter shooter instead of having similar gameplay to the Arkham games. I have been back and forth in my opinion, but I decided to form my own opinion and buy the game regardless of all of the things I have heard. I have only played a few hours, but so far I am really enjoying it. I have heard a lot of people saying "All you do is jump around and shoot similar enemies the whole time". I feel like games nowadays do TOO much and miss the FUN elements. I had a lot of fun just zooming around and taking out enemies. The references to the Arkham games are awesome as well! Everyone should definitely form their own opinion on this one!
Anti speed force bullets are dump. They should of used mr freeze or captain cold or killer froze to slow him down. Or if you want a mechanic then multiply suppressing machines that the flash will try to destroy.
9:00 that's a worrying bit tbh. Now we know why crystal dynammics kept showing the A-Day mission in avengers, it was pretty much the best story mission in the game and the rest was just GAAS content like standing around capturing and area or hacking or whatever.
I think my big problem with the whole game is that I just kind of don't like the idea of it, not a Suicide Squad game, but rather them taking the safest route for attention, which is them fighting the Justice League. Because anyone who knows the comics knows that somehow it wasn't an absolute disaster, which I now suspect is the reason why Brainiac is also a part of it, so that at least you have an excuse. And that's one of those things that I just don't find interesting because it seems more like the biggest idea that's supposed to appeal to a lot of people. I would have found it more interesting if the game had been more structured with a story campaign that simply took place more in the other, more absurd areas of the DC universe. I think the team works best when it consciously goes in that direction. I mean, James Gunn's film has shown that a dictator can be quite entertaining as the main antagonist. and there's just kind of the problem that the suicide squad is never really used to do, well, good things. I mean, to show James' film again, the US government wants to have the starfish themselves for their own purposes, and the team is often called out to do the US government's questionable things or to correct their own mistakes. and I would have done that. I mean, would you know how cool it would be to somehow send a team of weird villains to South America to stop the drug lord who develops his own powers when he totals cocaine customers? and yes there is a character in the comics called snow flame, or for example to attack the League of Assassins in the Himalayas to get something from the Lazarus Spring because the US government wants to turn it into research programs for military purposes? See, that's what I meant, yes you have a lot more experimental skills there. Besides, we just can't do the usual ones. Oh yes, those are the four popular ones from the shitty first film. okay except for King Shark but it's King Shark and everyone likes it.
I appreciate you talking about what kind of games you like before giving your thoights. I think knowing the reviewers preference is important to understand a review
they've totally ruined this version of Superman. He let Brainiac turn everyone in Metropolis into mindless minions that the Suicide Squad is killing. Then he got mind controlled by Brainiac himself. I don't want a game playing as this failed Superman
To add on to the poison ivy thing I’ve seen a lot of weirdos get upset because a kid doesn’t look attractive them or doesn’t have that “flair” is a soft way of them saying that sometimes. Like, it’s a kid, why is a kid being attractive their main concern? I have no idea.
@@unknown5771 you’re the one coping by taking any a woman says and make it sexual or about relationship. If you’ve actually been around women in your life you’d know majority of them talk to each other literally similar to this and are best friends. Please stop crying you’re embarrassing yourself.
The onlly problem i see is that watching gameplay looks off like in Arkham or shadow of war you can watch gameplay and still enjoy. Maybe if the hud was smaller and the camera was more zoomed out?😭
I played the beta for the game and in my honest opinion its fun to me because i don't have to be a hero i can do what i wanted and it was a plus to see my head explode when i didnt return to the mission
Thank you for the video. Unfortunately it just clarifies my first feelings and thoughts about the game. I look at it like this. I don’t want to pay $70 for what boils down to a “pass” to there severs to play a game. These live games are scams. You pay them to play there game and they can just shut it down whenever they want to. Then you don’t have a game anymore. Sorry not my bag. Then this loot shooter thing. Well it fail with Gotham knights and after a few hours it will fail for this game as well. This was an extremely bad idea on there part to make this game this way. Sorry but like they say. “If it’s not broke don’t fix it” well here we are. They should have kept the Batman games going since that is what made them.
I'm glad you're having fun. Unfortunately, this game looks like everything I hate in modern games. I am interested to see how those spoilers pan out though.
Looks like a little sunset overdrive inspiration crept in. I’ll give it a try only if I have friends to play it with. Since I don’t have any friends interested in this game. I’ll be waiting on the discords
Hey man, I'm glad you're able to play it. I was wondering why no one from TH-cam got to play the alpha test. I most likely going to buy it to play with my friends. I did enjoy the story when I played it. The dialogue and the humor reminds me of James gun suicide Squad. I like borderlands. I'm not a huge fan of it but I like playing with my friends. Is a good thing. I am avoiding the IGN review. Also, I'm glad you talked about the poison ivy thing because I didn't even know that was a controversy
Most of us who would talk to it, got invites to go play the big large segments when the Alpha dropped. As a part of it we couldnt talk about the gameplay until today.
@@comicstorian uncaged games mention whenever the alpha test was dropped. You guys got the invite a week or so later. It was so annoying that people couldn't talk about it and people were just bashing it without even playing it
The thing is the live services games you listed they aren’t full price retail releases. Also it just feels like they worried about the live service aspect first then the game was the after thought. I don’t know if people will fork out $70 especially a group of friends to play through this game like this. I feel like a lot of the public are getting sick or bored of the live service trend, especially when it predatory and not implemented as well. I feel like if they didn’t have the live service stuff and made the game like how Borderlands 2 or any great co op shooter game was set up people would be less hostile against it. Making the game Live Service already takes away multiple things you can do creatively and narratively, we already know none of the main story characters you play as die. Idk about this game, I’m curious what people will think about it after release
At first I was like "Ok this game doesn’t look like my cup of tea but it looks ok so to each their own" but upon seeing actual gameplay, it looks like something I might try out
@chummygun At first the trailers made all the characters look samey with some pretty mid-gunplay but every youtuber who's played it says it's fun, that and they showed off actual gameplay instead of jump into execution animation
Honestly, I was on the hate train for this game at first. But after seeing gameplay and hearing how it plays, it just seems like dumb fun. And apparently solo players can swap between the characters whenever, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy it
It does make me laugh I actually dont wanna kill the justice league lol like I like the villains and all that but with brainiac and other things I dont wanna kill batman which how and superman how but I love these characters I dont want them to die
Only question I have. In the avengers there was end game content for the high lvl players. Is there anything like that in this game? Where I can fight against harder enemies and seek better rewards
Essentially, what is there to do after the main story missions? Pray to God it's nothing like Avengers. Replaying the same mission to get higher stat gear
I was hesitant buying this because I preorder Arkham knights and honestly I was disappointed in the game play but the story was good. I need people to play this with I haven’t been a social gamer since destiny one.
Sounds like a pass for me glad for anyone who digs it but I'm more of a single player type of guy and if I do any multi-player it's always on a couch where the person I'm playing with is on that same couch for any of the people who grew up in today's multi-player where it's not that common anymore good old fashioned split screen which seems to have disappeared from a lot of games these days
never asked nor wanted a suicide game, i thought rocksteady would come out with another batman game but the negative culture in todays world is really out of control because i know this isnt a batman game but it doesnt look bad at all. i know its a live service but the petty hate from content creators and people commenting is really something to behold. I think cancel/negative culture made people nasty little karens. Really take a step back and look and listen how petty people are online and in comment section. Its really embarrassing to look at.

I love the closed alpha the whole segment in the Arkham Museum was amazing. You got the POV of being stalked by Batman. I was hooked. SEEING ARKHAM BATMAN With the JLA was a dream come true. I wish we got to go against a boss fight though. The ending was right before the GL boss. The only gripe that I had was that they needed to remove the always online feature(which they said they're removing ) because i got dced because a server got shut down. The combat is WAY better than how the gameplays have been which is strange because it seems like whoever is playing is doing the most basic stuff while I was pulling different combos. They make a running gag about how deadshot is black too lol. I gave what I play a good 8.5/10 its definitely worthy of being within the Arkham franchise.
A hands-on impression that feels actually genuine. Also, this video does something unlike the live service naysayers never do: acknowledge a live service game that's done well. Too many are immediately dismissive of live service business model and are quick to point the failed ones to justify such a knee-jerk reaction upon hearing the term.
I've already decided I was going to play this game anyway because it looks genuinely fun.
Many of the negative impressions from other outlets seem like their basing their disdain on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League not being the game they wanted it to be rather than judge the game on its own merits. These same outlets practically dismissed the game upon its announcement and I get the impression their minds have since been made up.
Not enough ppl think like this pin this comment
I respect your opinion on it. Personally I don’t believe it is a good game even for live service standards. The story definitely doesn’t reach the lvl of their old games. The gun play will never match what people actually wanted. It’s like being told you get to play as Superman, but your main attacks are with guns. Also the endgame doesn’t seem to have much going for it if it’s gonna be just like the final boss fight. I strongly believe that this is a below average. Again I respect your opinion, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying your content but I just strongly disagree.
Love the vid and I doubt Rock Steady was trying to make it seem like Harley was hitting on Ivy. Hope you had alot of fun!
Yeah that's not how i read that situation at all. She was just saying she's small.
@@zenbyoOh you little grasshopper...
But they dated in the comics - it’s not that unrealistic
@adamlegros1180 But how they show her in this she is in effect and by all means(from what I can see anyway) a child and that's weird to say the least
@@adamlegros1180Yes, the fuck it is, dude. She is a CHILD. Rocksteady would not write a grown ass Harley being weird towards a kid like that just because in different versions they date. Just stop.
Hearing Benny of all people say he likes it does wonders to make me happy I am all in on this game.
Also the words "Crackdown meets Fortnite" has me so ready to get wild
Can’t believe Crackdown is still being referenced. That game was amazing
“has me so ready to get wild 🤓” get a life bruh lmaooooo
They have captain boomerang piss on the flashes corpse and dead shot compliments him for having a big penis. I'm not joking.
This game doesn't look like it's for me. Nothing about it, from the story and character interactions to the gameplay, looks like something I would enjoy.
I really hope we get red hood in this game. Would be dope.
My only gripe about the battlepass being cosmetics only, I do however love that they made all story content free for all which is amazing, is that in a comic book game I like to play with all the skins from the characters' history, so the skins being locked behind a battlepass makes me kinda sad, but glass half full, even if I don't get all the skins I at least get all the story, which is still great
Story isn’t free? It’s a full price game.
😂😂😂
Had fun playing Gotham Knights with my brother so this looks amazing. I live across the country so co-op games are always nice.
I still say Gotham Knight was actually a solid game. Sad we have yet to get a Batwoman DLC though.
This is NOT Gotham nights.
@@chummygun no one said it was. Chill out.
@@JohnWilliams-cr2sz "had fun playing Gotham nights with my brother so this looks amazing" are you dumb?
>enjoyed avengers and gotham knights.
I think ive heard enough.
You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain
STRIKE AGAIN
you lost me when you defended it being a live service games still 70$ still has a battlepass and has an in game store and probably whatever paid dlc they throw in
I give it a full year until its dead
Making Ivy a kid was a terrible decision
Isn’t Ivy dead though?
@@PaRadaRadathey showed clip of it. She essentially preserved herself through a seed. Which is why this ivy is basically a plant herself. So yes she died but tried to live on..
Why?
You explaining that you like multiplayer/live service games a lot while wearing a god of war shirt is pretty funny😂. Glad you liked suicide squad. I’m hyped.
Since they lifted the NDA for Alpha players I’ll ask this. The city to me felt like it had no real sense of place, like all the areas I was in felt and looked pretty much the same. That combined with enemies that felt the same (a few different classes but placed in similar groups around the city). Did you get this feeling at all? Sounds like you’re more in the pocket for this kind of game than me, although I do play some live service games, mainly FFXIV but will dip into others on occasion. I really want to experience the story of this game because the story missions I played were really interesting and I love DC but I feel like I will get super bored with the combat and how the city felt.
I’ve played it and my only concern is the overall gameplay and how transformative it will be once you reach end game. When you introduce skill trees and different builds they have to be distinct and unique enough to feel worth it. Your Deadshot has to feel completely different from your friends build for him. Now they say that it will be that way but from my experience with the game and looking at each characters skill trees I didn’t really see it. But I only played a small portion of the the game and hopefully they improve on this upon their final release and it becomes something more akin to Borderlands as far as build diversity
I still wished we got a rocksteady Superman game because that couldve been really awesome and tons of fun
If yoi can design a workable superman concept
@@Akinwalesegun Personally for me i would go with superman rebirth adaptation that has clark kent teaching his son Jonathan samuel kent superboy as his little 10 year old self learning how to be a great hero similar to what kratos from god of war 2018 did with his son Atreus and do that gameplay model but through superman and boom problem solved everybody wins.
Agreed I would rather have that then whatever this garbage 🗑 is.
I love batman arkhamverse games for 2 reasons the story and the playstyle.
As soon as he said it doesn't play like batman that was enough for me to know I won't like it an its a easy skip.
An ill just watch the while story on TH-cam, simple.
I fill like their using the arkhamverse tag line to real in players that are unaware it's the same in character design an story continuation only.
Not gameplay.
An that's really gonna bumb lots of players out once they realize it's not..
Ya im not happy about the choices rocksteady made in that regard.
Honestly I would of rather them just make a DC game that isn't tied to batman arkhamverse an just do their own thing with it.
But they didn't do the smart thing here did they. 😕
@@Splatz007 i can agree with that
@@TevyaSmolkaI like your idea! I’d definitely play that, sounds like a cool way to do a Superman game and make it different from what most people would expect from that character
Idc what anyone says. I'm excited for this game. I know the story is gunna be great and it's Kevin's last performance as Batman, who also turns out to be my favorite comic book hero. Since it's part of the Arkham series, I'm definitely picking it up. Something also tells me it'll be better than Avengers. Hell, I even enjoyed Gotham Knights more than Avengers.
Hello. I did have a question about game play but price. Do you think this is $70 to $100 game? What i mean is do you feel...from the short chapter... that is it different enough from any other game like this to be ok with such a high price? I do understand it might be a hard call because of only the one chapter i get it. Even going off of just having fun with friends, 70 is a hard price to sell to my friends when we can easily play for way cheaper or for free. Also I get everyone values the price of games differently. I am just really interested in your thoughts on it. thank you. Also glad to hear you enjoyed it.
no offense, but i'm not really trust anyone's opinion on this. Rocksteady got people who like these types of games. Doesn't surprise me they only got certain people.
But that’s what companies do they look for the ppl who built their businesses around a certain demographic So they offer that said person a product to push out their group
captain boomerang… has ONE boomerang…? they can’t even get the easy shit right man lol
People thinking Harley is hitting on Ivy by TALKING to her is actually so braidead. Like, what?!
Harley called her “fun size”…
@oberonvortigern4138 that means she's short. The fact that you picked up anything else from that probably says more about you.
@@ivansleepy4722I’ve been called Fun sized because I’m 5’3 at 30 years old. People are definitely reaching.
@OG23IV again, anyone who thought of that are literally confessing
This guy is convincing me to buy the game🤔. Also I was laughing when you showed that clip of them shooting Flash lol, I think I'm starting to like Captain Boomerang, bro just makes me laugh 😂
I have no friends, sadly, but I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun. I heard you got to play with Dame, so you must be good people. I look forward to more Suicide Squad.
Me neither, but I'm sure there will be matchmaking since apparently the game will have crossplay.
@@Rust·Spencer·Cohle I don't doubt it, it's just not the same as playing with people you know. Like Monster Hunter, if I need to play MP to get thru content I will, otherwise I'll just be solo until I get the Platinum
Once the story is over I don't have much reason to stay for live service stuff. Hope everyone else enjoys.
Pretty clear hint they were romantically involved. I don’t even know what to say….
What I hate about this game is that they should’ve just made this an else worlds story. Rocksteady keeps saying it’s the same Batman we played in the Arkham games. And I love those games. And this game just craps all over it.
That is why I won’t play it. Also, I got burned last time I played a live service game. The game got shut down after two years of me investing in it, and it just sucks.
Live service games need to die.
They turned Captain Boomerang into the Fourth Hokagé
Really how so 😁
@@Unshackled945 They way Captain Boomerang uses the speed force to get where his boomerang is thrown at,
Reminded me of the Flying Rajin Jutsu of the Fourth Hokagé.
He places his marks on his kunais so he can instantly teleport to where they're thrown at.
😂 yeah
And I don't think super powered king shark fits into a looter shooter
I got into the Alpha and it’s an absolute disservice that you guys only got 4-6 hours and only some people seemed to get Chapter 1, and no one got Chapter 2.
Chapter 2 was the best section of the Alpha with a lot of really solid story stuff and a big sections celebrating the previous Trilogy.
This game desperately needs an Open Beta. It won’t change a lot of people’s minds, but spending a weekend with it completely changed mine.
People just need to be able to try it risk free.
I am glad your review is not toxic and I am glad that your being respectful to others views
Ngl the game looks really similar to Sunset Overdrive with the way it's played. Looks like its going to be a blast!
Even the shills at IGN didn't like this POS game
Just the idea of deadshot trying to shoot the flash in general is hilarious
Don’t forget that it happened in Injustice
I was so excited when the game was announced and then like many others, felt disappointed when I heard about it being live service and was a looter shooter instead of having similar gameplay to the Arkham games. I have been back and forth in my opinion, but I decided to form my own opinion and buy the game regardless of all of the things I have heard. I have only played a few hours, but so far I am really enjoying it. I have heard a lot of people saying "All you do is jump around and shoot similar enemies the whole time". I feel like games nowadays do TOO much and miss the FUN elements. I had a lot of fun just zooming around and taking out enemies. The references to the Arkham games are awesome as well! Everyone should definitely form their own opinion on this one!
LETS GO I KNEW I LOVED COMICSTORIAN
So hyped for this game I can’t lie 😭
Anti speed force bullets are dump. They should of used mr freeze or captain cold or killer froze to slow him down. Or if you want a mechanic then multiply suppressing machines that the flash will try to destroy.
Im kinda glad they announced an offline mode but im excited to play deadshot
Ya I hope that pleases some of the people who want to play it, but dont want all the online bullshit
9:00 that's a worrying bit tbh. Now we know why crystal dynammics kept showing the A-Day mission in avengers, it was pretty much the best story mission in the game and the rest was just GAAS content like standing around capturing and area or hacking or whatever.
I think my big problem with the whole game is that I just kind of don't like the idea of it, not a Suicide Squad game, but rather them taking the safest route for attention, which is them fighting the Justice League. Because anyone who knows the comics knows that somehow it wasn't an absolute disaster, which I now suspect is the reason why Brainiac is also a part of it, so that at least you have an excuse. And that's one of those things that I just don't find interesting because it seems more like the biggest idea that's supposed to appeal to a lot of people.
I would have found it more interesting if the game had been more structured with a story campaign that simply took place more in the other, more absurd areas of the DC universe. I think the team works best when it consciously goes in that direction. I mean, James Gunn's film has shown that a dictator can be quite entertaining as the main antagonist. and there's just kind of the problem that the suicide squad is never really used to do, well, good things.
I mean, to show James' film again, the US government wants to have the starfish themselves for their own purposes, and the team is often called out to do the US government's questionable things or to correct their own mistakes. and I would have done that. I mean, would you know how cool it would be to somehow send a team of weird villains to South America to stop the drug lord who develops his own powers when he totals cocaine customers? and yes there is a character in the comics called snow flame, or for example to attack the League of Assassins in the Himalayas to get something from the Lazarus Spring because the US government wants to turn it into research programs for military purposes? See, that's what I meant, yes you have a lot more experimental skills there.
Besides, we just can't do the usual ones. Oh yes, those are the four popular ones from the shitty first film. okay except for King Shark but it's King Shark and everyone likes it.
Loved and was surprised with Benny showing up on some Muyskerm Lethal Company livestreams.
I appreciate you talking about what kind of games you like before giving your thoights. I think knowing the reviewers preference is important to understand a review
Love the video. As usual, Benny is always on point. Looking forward to February 2
12:22 Mail me the bullet
I don’t like the fact that it is a live service but I do plan on still buying it and enjoying it
If I'm ever going to play this game, the Ivy/Harly pairing wouldn't cross my mind.
they've totally ruined this version of Superman. He let Brainiac turn everyone in Metropolis into mindless minions that the Suicide Squad is killing. Then he got mind controlled by Brainiac himself. I don't want a game playing as this failed Superman
I'm Glad to finally hear some positive feedback bout this game thought it was just me
Thank you for an actual honest opinion, tired of these big companies not giving the whole truth
I feel like i have a much better understanding of what to expect thank you
To add on to the poison ivy thing I’ve seen a lot of weirdos get upset because a kid doesn’t look attractive them or doesn’t have that “flair” is a soft way of them saying that sometimes. Like, it’s a kid, why is a kid being attractive their main concern? I have no idea.
And people are also being weird and tryna make it look like Harley like a predator
@@ItsMaliBlacks like nothing she said ever insinuated that they dated before either they’re just looking for reasons to hate it.
@@GoldenCaLiber"Harley and ivy forever in 10 story burning letters" she said that dude stop coping
@@unknown5771 you’re the one coping by taking any a woman says and make it sexual or about relationship. If you’ve actually been around women in your life you’d know majority of them talk to each other literally similar to this and are best friends. Please stop crying you’re embarrassing yourself.
I can't be convinced by "It's better with friends." Throwing trash into a trashcan is fun with friends but I wouldn't pay 70 dollars for it.
The onlly problem i see is that watching gameplay looks off like in Arkham or shadow of war you can watch gameplay and still enjoy. Maybe if the hud was smaller and the camera was more zoomed out?😭
Is it me or does the gameplay look very similar to Sunset Overdrive of all things
I got those vibes as well, but I think only you and I played that lol, so I went with more popular games for comparison
Sunset overdrive is phenomenal!!
@@wildrelicproductions4879 I’m not saying it’s at all a bad game but it’s an interesting similarity
Suicide squad: kill my childhood
I played the beta for the game and in my honest opinion its fun to me because i don't have to be a hero i can do what i wanted and it was a plus to see my head explode when i didnt return to the mission
Exactly everybody thinks cause they made the Batman this is suppose to play like it and hate to try something different
Thank you for the video. Unfortunately it just clarifies my first feelings and thoughts about the game. I look at it like this. I don’t want to pay $70 for what boils down to a “pass” to there severs to play a game. These live games are scams. You pay them to play there game and they can just shut it down whenever they want to. Then you don’t have a game anymore. Sorry not my bag. Then this loot shooter thing. Well it fail with Gotham knights and after a few hours it will fail for this game as well. This was an extremely bad idea on there part to make this game this way. Sorry but like they say. “If it’s not broke don’t fix it” well here we are. They should have kept the Batman games going since that is what made them.
I'm glad you're having fun. Unfortunately, this game looks like everything I hate in modern games. I am interested to see how those spoilers pan out though.
The spoilers have been confirmed to be wrong.
Wait, waitwaitwait......Benny, did you NOT find the SQUID!?!?!?
Appreciate the preview
I'm sold!
Looks like a little sunset overdrive inspiration crept in. I’ll give it a try only if I have friends to play it with. Since I don’t have any friends interested in this game. I’ll be waiting on the discords
Yep it's basically sunset overdrive meets borderlands
Take a shot for every "with your buddy" this is ridiculous
I would of played as Harley Quinn. 🥰
Hey man, I'm glad you're able to play it. I was wondering why no one from TH-cam got to play the alpha test. I most likely going to buy it to play with my friends. I did enjoy the story when I played it. The dialogue and the humor reminds me of James gun suicide Squad. I like borderlands. I'm not a huge fan of it but I like playing with my friends. Is a good thing. I am avoiding the IGN review. Also, I'm glad you talked about the poison ivy thing because I didn't even know that was a controversy
Most of us who would talk to it, got invites to go play the big large segments when the Alpha dropped. As a part of it we couldnt talk about the gameplay until today.
@@comicstorian uncaged games mention whenever the alpha test was dropped. You guys got the invite a week or so later. It was so annoying that people couldn't talk about it and people were just bashing it without even playing it
Just from what you've experienced, what do you like better, SS kills JL or Gotham Knights?
The thing is the live services games you listed they aren’t full price retail releases. Also it just feels like they worried about the live service aspect first then the game was the after thought. I don’t know if people will fork out $70 especially a group of friends to play through this game like this. I feel like a lot of the public are getting sick or bored of the live service trend, especially when it predatory and not implemented as well. I feel like if they didn’t have the live service stuff and made the game like how Borderlands 2 or any great co op shooter game was set up people would be less hostile against it. Making the game Live Service already takes away multiple things you can do creatively and narratively, we already know none of the main story characters you play as die. Idk about this game, I’m curious what people will think about it after release
I feel like I could hear it better from u Benny but ngl I’m wondering where is Martian manhunter aqua man and Hal Jordan yk?? What’s exactly going on
The writing on the flash is hillarious , they aced him and boomerang.
Harley Quinn controversy is fucking crazy. Not surprised the internet would do this.
You done already 😂😂
At first I was like "Ok this game doesn’t look like my cup of tea but it looks ok so to each their own" but upon seeing actual gameplay, it looks like something I might try out
Why?
@chummygun At first the trailers made all the characters look samey with some pretty mid-gunplay but every youtuber who's played it says it's fun, that and they showed off actual gameplay instead of jump into execution animation
Personally, it's just going to be a game I play for a week then after I'm done with it, im never going to touch it again tbh.
@@chummygun To each their own
@@loselot6044 and your most likely going to do that too 🤷
Honestly, I was on the hate train for this game at first. But after seeing gameplay and hearing how it plays, it just seems like dumb fun. And apparently solo players can swap between the characters whenever, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy it
It does make me laugh I actually dont wanna kill the justice league lol like I like the villains and all that but with brainiac and other things I dont wanna kill batman which how and superman how but I love these characters I dont want them to die
Making ivy into a kid is gross
Wouldn’t be the first time and I don’t know why that’s the case
@MILDMONSTER1234 really? you don't know why making the villain woman known for seducing adult men , be a child? OK Epstein
Arkham was a solo game where you have no friends but this is where you do have friends and make teams online
I hate live service in games but i do agree, if its done right its good, but so many games do it badly
Only question I have. In the avengers there was end game content for the high lvl players. Is there anything like that in this game? Where I can fight against harder enemies and seek better rewards
Essentially, what is there to do after the main story missions? Pray to God it's nothing like Avengers. Replaying the same mission to get higher stat gear
"Who the hell uses a boomerang?" Batman does.......we call them batarangs.......
How have I never made that connection in my head? 😅
I was hesitant buying this because I preorder Arkham knights and honestly I was disappointed in the game play but the story was good. I need people to play this with I haven’t been a social gamer since destiny one.
How were you disappointed in the gameplay of Knight, but not the horrible story ? Arkham Knight far and away has the best gameplay.
Sounds like a pass for me glad for anyone who digs it but I'm more of a single player type of guy and if I do any multi-player it's always on a couch where the person I'm playing with is on that same couch for any of the people who grew up in today's multi-player where it's not that common anymore good old fashioned split screen which seems to have disappeared from a lot of games these days
You don't need anyone with you to play it
never asked nor wanted a suicide game, i thought rocksteady would come out with another batman game but the negative culture in todays world is really out of control because i know this isnt a batman game but it doesnt look bad at all. i know its a live service but the petty hate from content creators and people commenting is really something to behold. I think cancel/negative culture made people nasty little karens. Really take a step back and look and listen how petty people are online and in comment section. Its really embarrassing to look at.
Also add using a dead man to slander this game and the developers then wonder why fandoms get bad reps
That’s just how it’s been ever since Covid ended
Imagine playing as King Shark and he can't swim in the game.
