The fact that they prevented reviews from coming out until the game came out says all you need to know. They knew it would be reviewed terribly due to the technical issues, repetitive missions, boring enemies, badly written story, and many other issues, so they pushed the game out the door before people learned the truth. Deceiving people like this is the definition of a scam, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
@@SavageSenzu You're right, there are other reasons for not letting reviews come out before a game is released (avoiding spoilers or leaks for example). But when a publisher prevents reviews for a game from being made before customers have bought it, then the game turns out to be a rancid pile of trash.. they probably knew what they were doing
Yep that's why I didn't get hyped for Persona 3 Reload till the embargo ended a week before it came out and it got rave reviews. Hell they were letting reviewers play the game since December and it came out Feb 2nd.
a reviewer on steam wrote that the devs are deleting thousands of negative reviews. the review count went from 7k+ down to 1.7k. if that's true then it doesn't surprise me why its marked as "very positive" on steam.
I had no interest in this game as soon as it was announced, but the disrespectful way they have treated the characters and Batman particularly. You know the character that built that entire studio is disgusting. Just play Robocop instead. At least Teyon treat the character, lore and fans with respect.
Killing Batman is the most uncharacteristic thing they could've done tbf. The whole point of his character is he is just outsmart everyone. So a bunch of low-tier villain killing him is just the most stupidest thing you could do with his character.@@enclaveofdoom

I think one of the obvious problems is that so many gamers today grew up with very average gaming experiences that are considered to be "AAA" games. People born in the 80s and early 90s are the ones that grew up during the golden era of gaming, when there was no day one patch, and games had to work out of the box. It's a shame what has happened to the gaming industry.
Not really, look to pc and get into the indie and small devs games...games that usually cost 5-40 bucks...yea all that range...many 10, 15, 20,25 and 30 dollar games and all WAY better than most AAA games in the last 10 years. I agree though I was born in the late 80s grew up in the 90s when like Genres were being made with games...Doom, Diablo, Ultima, Runescape, Wow...ect ect.
I asked Chat GPT if it could come up with three more creative titles for this game and even it did better: "Rogue Retribution: Justice's Demise" "Inferno Reckoning: Squad versus Supremacy" "Chaos Chronicles: Unleashing Havoc on Heroes"
The industry standard for the past 8 years; Design a game with the least amount of effort possible, that requires the least amount of input possible (for braindead inclusivity), add some woke crap, and either acquire a franchise name or make the game "look" like a franchise, do no testing, no QA, release in an EA state, and worry about any problems later on down the line. The reason they have adopted this standard? Because FOMO Joe/Joely will either preorder or be waiting for the exact second of launch to hit the download button and the ones that don't will "hate"-buy it with the idiotic excuse of "I only bought it so I could leave a bad review!" The industry is never going to change until the consumers do.
Couldn't agree more. Imagine preodering literally anything else and just blindly accepting what you pay for. Only gamers are this moronic and it perpetuates the problems in the industry.
The developers of the Arkham trilogy left the company very very early in this things development. Also after 10h of gameplay comes the best part when the suffering ends and you have to wait for the next season.
After the Rocksteady co-founders and veteran staff that worked on the Arkham games left years ago, they immediately got replaced with SJWs, activists and yes men
Nowadays corporate culture spreads faster than the Flood, farther than Zerg creep, will infect anything in record time leaving behind a slow lumbering empty husk that asks for currencies instead of brains.
In my experience most people who proclaim they are gamers play the same game over and over, it's usually some version of a battle royal. I'm not interested in playing the same COD map over and over again with some edgy 13 year old. They are the only reason COD releases a new game every year even though it's a tired old formula.

Yeah, Ian Miles Cheong and his cronies need to just retire from "game journalism" and go away, but even they couldn't defend this pile of week old wank.
Western developers are afraid of *challenging* players because they care more about their game's (usually pathetic) story, and are really really concerned about them not seeing it through to the end. The fact that the overwhelming majority of critics, both "professional" or otherwise, place enormous emphasis on the story and characters in a game doesn't exactly help matters (though that may be due to the fact that there's very little worth _mentioning_ in the gameplay department).
I would be interested to hear what you think about Star Wars Survivor. Originally it didn't run for you, but maybe you could consider a late review. You could also take a look at Doomsday Hunters, DOTAGE, Knights Of Honor 2, TNMT: Shredder's Revenge... AAA games are really not that interesting to hear about any more, because we know what not to buy. I think it would be more beneficial to tell people what to actually buy.
Mack, I think the video game industry is slowly but surely devolving. One day, a game studio will make a game like Pong, charge 60 quid, and call it "genre-defining", and our children's children will buy and give it glowing positive reviews.
last few weeks ive been playing CnC generals zero hours and BFME 2: ROTWK. Games from 20 years ago. Never knew I would have nothing to play but games from the past. Back then I was excited for the future of gaming. Oh how wrong I was to have such hopes.

Seven years they worked on it. One and a half year if you subtract all the paternity leaves, sabbatical leaves, sick leaves, ESG workshops and holidays.
For the Steam reviews, apparently the negative ones are being deleted by the devs / publisher. Hence you'll see some people giving it a thumbs up just to criticise it and not have their review deleted. Absolutely heinous game.

You never fail too disappoint mack! My mind is blown about the steam reviews. Then again, nobody actually wants too buy the game too give it a bad review!!! Hahaha ffs...
Could have made a really good Suicide Squad game. Made it where you have to bust the classic Batman villains out of various asylums, etc in order to take control of Gotham City. Batman and other heroes could play the role as these horrifying undefeatable enemies that you must avoid at all costs, think of the alien in Isolation and other games like that. By rescuing all of the super villains you set yourself up nicely for further games in the future either as the villains again or as the heroes
So glad its bombed and sent a big message to WB Games, Activision, EA, Square Enix, Take Two and Ubisoft that a vast majority of gamers hate and are sick of full priced AAA Live Service games.
Being a Comic Book game, I am gonna suppose its intended audience is little kids and idiots. The same people that come out for every single Marvel movie.

Thats all it needed to do to suit the demo its marketed for. Its a live service game, after all.

Design a game with the least amount of effort possible, that requires the least amount of input possible (for braindead inclusivity), add some woke crap, and either acquire a franchise name or make the game "look" like a franchise, do no testing, no QA, release in an EA state, and worry about any problems later on down the line.
The reason they have adopted this standard? Because FOMO Joe/Joely will either preorder or be waiting for the exact second of launch to hit the download button and the ones that don't will "hate"-buy it with the idiotic excuse of "I only bought it so I could leave a bad review!"
The industry is never going to change until the consumers do.
What 'woke crap'?
Couldn't agree more. Imagine preodering literally anything else and just blindly accepting what you pay for. Only gamers are this moronic and it perpetuates the problems in the industry.
@@KevJDunn DEI, the MESSAGE, wahmen super strong, stunning and brave, white men evil, patriarchy, etc. etc. etc.
The only thing they are testing and are making sure always work at launch, is the games microtransaction- store
The developers of the Arkham trilogy left the company very very early in this things development.
Also after 10h of gameplay comes the best part when the suffering ends and you have to wait for the next season.
Next season? I thought this was a video game.
What you mean next season? We have to wait for autumn?
Rocksteady clearly aren't the same company they were. Seems like they're the latest victims of their own success, sadly.
After the Rocksteady co-founders and veteran staff that worked on the Arkham games left years ago, they immediately got replaced with SJWs, activists and yes men
it's probably enough of a detriment to babysit the sjws for any normal person to be demoralized.
Nowadays corporate culture spreads faster than the Flood, farther than Zerg creep, will infect anything in record time leaving behind a slow lumbering empty husk that asks for currencies instead of brains.
Good work. Now they fail and go bankrupt(hopefully)
they started deleting bad reviews on Steam 6K been so far deleted... how is it possible?

i used to be proud to tell folks i was a gamer i now tell no one
In my experience most people who proclaim they are gamers play the same game over and over, it's usually some version of a battle royal. I'm not interested in playing the same COD map over and over again with some edgy 13 year old. They are the only reason COD releases a new game every year even though it's a tired old formula.
ok i am at the end of my life the first games i played were on the Comadore 64 i have over 350 games in my steam collection and i have worked as a games journalist and it was paid work but even gamers like Mr LLama who has like 20000 hours on diablo 2 are worthy of respect for their skill and dedication@@BillClinton228
i have 350 games in my steam library and more on Gog i started gaming on the comador 64 i am a grandpa gamer at the end of my life but even the kind of gamers you mention should be respected for their skill and dedication@@BillClinton228
I'm a hobbyist proctologist.
No, don't look at that PS5 controller! (Oh god, the shame).
Why you are the one who is ashamed? Let them be ashamed for ruining games and letting standards down.
Lol even Gamewanx called this out as the tripe it is, seems your influence is spreading Mac, kudos.
Yeah, Ian Miles Cheong and his cronies need to just retire from "game journalism" and go away, but even they couldn't defend this pile of week old wank.
honestly i havent been surprised by one title being bad since covid, something died in the world after 2020, the soul? art? creativity? passion?
More like 1945
All of the above. Wokeness virus affect everything.
People of the new generation, don't know how to play games. Without hand holding.
Western developers are afraid of *challenging* players because they care more about their game's (usually pathetic) story, and are really really concerned about them not seeing it through to the end.
The fact that the overwhelming majority of critics, both "professional" or otherwise, place enormous emphasis on the story and characters in a game doesn't exactly help matters (though that may be due to the fact that there's very little worth _mentioning_ in the gameplay department).
Those kind of games were once a free addition to your cereals as a free merch
A game worthy of a full bell orchestra
Also clown horn.
I would be interested to hear what you think about Star Wars Survivor. Originally it didn't run for you, but maybe you could consider a late review. You could also take a look at Doomsday Hunters, DOTAGE, Knights Of Honor 2, TNMT: Shredder's Revenge... AAA games are really not that interesting to hear about any more, because we know what not to buy. I think it would be more beneficial to tell people what to actually buy.
Great idea, I like that. Not AAA titles, but just A/AA/indie. Maybe that would make Mack even HAPPY, who knows.
Mack, I think the video game industry is slowly but surely devolving. One day, a game studio will make a game like Pong, charge 60 quid, and call it "genre-defining", and our children's children will buy and give it glowing positive reviews.
4 hours? It’s a shame you didn’t have the instant end of the game glitch
technically it was a bug, one that they should have seen if they seriously playtested the game
@@j.t.6741 Maybe the playtesters felt it was a kindness to be spared from playing the game, so they deliberately kept it in.
Steam reviews are being manipulated there used to be more negative reviews but they're being deleted.

All is see with the combat is Christmas lights and numbers.
And its GUI looks like the _Elden Ring by Ubisoft_ Meme.
last few weeks ive been playing CnC generals zero hours and BFME 2: ROTWK. Games from 20 years ago. Never knew I would have nothing to play but games from the past. Back then I was excited for the future of gaming. Oh how wrong I was to have such hopes.
Zero Hours is long gone
Yep Ive rebought Warlords 3 a game from ..... 1997 ?
Played about 20 hours janky as hell and Im loving it.
@@RoboBreaker how is it long gone. People stream it everyday. Search dominator. Hes made content on it for a decade.
This is just sad. The shills that are giving this trash 10/10 to justify them buying the game should be ashamed of themselves - and they will be when this trash flops.
No game nowadays deserve 10/10 tbh. Not just this. Back in the day sure but now? No.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 Gaming has died the day activists infiltrated the game studios. Agendas masquerading as game scripts could never, ever, EVER, reach the worst game made with passion.
This game left the steam top sellers list faster than Starfield, and that's an accomplishment, for a AAA title.
I watched the game play trailer and thought that's another game I've saved money on ,great review as always
I saw them advertising a DLC on day 1. Meaning they intentionally withheld content from the game at launch just to sell you later as a dlc.
There has been allegations that the Steam reviews are being tampered with. Allegedly there was 7k reviews this morning down to 2k.
Zero proof about these claims. You don't need to make shit up when the game is as bad as it is. Steam doesn't pull shit like that. Spreading insane rumors will make it look like it's actually a good game and the haters are the ones that are coping. Just delete ur shit post as a favor, ty!

This is NOT from the creators of BMA, those guys probably left years ago now the studio is using the name like a skinsuit
I didn't even see a trailer, and I already knew what the game play was going to be.....shame.
the people that like this game are the same people that are excited to live in pods and eat bugs and be literal property of The State.
Don't know what's more pathetic ur comment or the sheep liking the dumb comment.
They are the perfect new world order slaves.
I totally agree with you, but it now seems most of people , partic. in WEST, did'nt catch vidco, they caught STUPID, another man made weapon !!!!!!
Steve who now thinks he's EINSTEIN, when talking to the DRIBBLERS, WHO STICK THEMSELVES TO GLASS WINDOWS, going UUrrrrrrgh !!! LOL
When I saw the notification pop up and the words "here we go again," I was holding one of my cockatoos and I said to him "xray vision, xray vision, x x xray vision!"
He said "that's not fun!"
95% of the devs are working on live service games. This only happens if there is money in it and it's only consumers who make sure they get them
Gamers need to start evaluation their own choices
I think ppl who are voting this positively have not played proper games their entire lives.
Seven years they worked on it. One and a half year if you subtract all the paternity leaves, sabbatical leaves, sick leaves, ESG workshops and holidays.
I'm not, nor ever will be, going anywhere near this barrage of cutscenes - I mean game... But I've been looking forward to this review...
You would probably hate yakuza, tlou.
I was sick of the Suicide Squad 2 movies ago.
Lucky for them they all had legendary guns so they could kill Superman in five minutes
People have such low standards these days. They would rate a turd very positive.
"guys when will this end????"
hahahahahahaha
never mac. never.
For the Steam reviews, apparently the negative ones are being deleted by the devs / publisher. Hence you'll see some people giving it a thumbs up just to criticise it and not have their review deleted.
Absolutely heinous game. Its everything we all knew it was going to be and somehow even worse. Its everything we dislike about AAA gaming. I can't believe this game exists. How did they ever think it would go any other way?

Glad more people are starting to lose faith in AAA titles
This is the reason I stopped pre ordering games. Indie games lately are really starting to show these AAA companies up.
One of the steam reviews says they've deleted a bunch of reviews

Why have they seemingly only used brown and grey for every environment in the entire game!?
They got some Fallout 3 developers...
They are deleting bad reviews on steam...

Just bought Enshrouded with 22£ and enjoying myself so much that i don't realize how fast the time goes !
I would never play more then 50£ on a game anyway good or bad,not in this economy anyway !
As Batman once said to Robin.... it's dead Jim dead...😮
Dynasty Warriors was a meme when it came to simple combat, but I played it a lot anyway. Spam the attack button, and you’ll do fine. But at least you had to move your character manually to hit. Not anymore! Spam spam spam win win win.
Batman Arkham Knight looks like a next gen game next to this shiite, even Arkham City has better graphics than this does and that released like 13 years ago.
Arkham Knight looked very nice for its time, heck even now
Standards keep going down and down and down.
You never fail too disappoint mack! My mind is blown about the steam reviews. Then again, nobody actually wants too buy the game too give it a bad review!!! Hahaha ffs...
Thar sentence doesn't mean what you think it does
@@Grandmastergav86 ?
I don’t understand that there are even journalists giving this utterly flat excuse of a game an 8 out of 10. It’s just ridiculous.
They are paid shills. You will find no truth, with most of them.
0:40 he and the bell are my highlight of every video ;)
Could have made a really good Suicide Squad game. Made it where you have to bust the classic Batman villains out of various asylums, etc in order to take control of Gotham City. Batman and other heroes could play the role as these horrifying undefeatable enemies that you must avoid at all costs, think of the alien in Isolation and other games like that. By rescuing all of the super villains you set yourself up nicely for further games in the future either as the villains again or as the heroes
Ohh no 😂 what a great morning... the sarcasm and pessimism runs deep in this one and I'm here for it.
Whats sad is that spiderman does this better; better open world, better story, better gameplay
Some people have sunk cost fallacy
Mack to purple guys : „you are a fekin balloon mate!“
Thank you for your sacrifice Mack 🙏
So glad its bombed and sent a big message to WB Games, Activision, EA, Square Enix, Take Two and Ubisoft that a vast majority of gamers hate and are sick of full priced AAA Live Service games.
Seeing King Shark run around makes me think of that game Maneater lol
With a game made under Sweet Baby Inc's supervision, shite is to be expected and in this particular case, it REALLY shows.
You can rest assured that if a game has Debra Wilson in it, it will be garbage.
Is that the _stock Unity Asset Store_ Debra Wilson?
oooooo Ricky Martin. I would sooo do heem ...lol...
Its total BS when they say this is from the creators of Batman Arkham series. Totally diff crew developed this...and it shows.
Being a Comic Book game, I am gonna suppose its intended audience is little kids and idiots. The same people that come out for every single Marvel movie. People impressed with impossible CGI action and pop culture references.
It looked good, you said? Way too easy? A ton of things to collect?
Thats all it needed to do to suit the demo its marketed for. Its a live service game, after all.
Back in the day I was an N64 gamer
And had to rely on second hand games at the time, n64 games brand new were £50 back in the day 25 years ago
I was envious of ps1 gamers as most were about £19 new
Kevin Conroy deserved better. There are few names with such reverence and few voices people identify with...also just a good man.
You're brainless. He agreed to voice act and even liked the script. Its not like they forced him to star in this game. Lmao. Using his name to bash on a video game is gross.
Isn't it weird seeing Debora Wilson in every game now? She was a fun appearance in Jedi Fallen Order, but she's in everything now
I feel the same for Keith David.
Sweet Baby Inc was Indd the ones who ruined this game. And Ppls say steam is deleting reviews. This game is shitting on the OG Batman / all other superheros.
Ahh that explains it.. I thought something fishy was going on , I noticed steam had plastered it at the top of my home screen, till I blocked it
@@RichardPhillips1066 Yeah 100% They are also blaming us that the game is selling poorly. They only did WW justice the rest got shafted. The new Batle Pass is / Season is a joke its gonna be reskins of older bosses it looks like.
