Really? Are you sure you’re not just hoping on the “game bad because always online” bandwagon. I was watching it yesterday and it actually looked pretty fun.
I live in a rural area and lose Internet connection regularly. Tons of people live with similar problems. Forcing games to be online only is such a ridiculous mistake.
@@thiliuc4394 I seriously doubt that. This is all about getting people into their online store to sell them silly outfits and weapons. Pirates have always found a way and I doubt this game will be an exception. The video game industry has turned it's back on average gamers and is completely focused on players willing to spend extra money on in game purchases. Actual content was put on the back burner nearly a decade ago.
@@collinstiernagle3553even then Borderlands allowed players to download customization packs that could be used offline and online, so i think the online only is more about protecting from mods that could make the game better than it is.
Muta was obviously talking about in a metaphorically way... But the fact that this response exist goes to show you how shit this game is lmao. They pissed on batman metaphorically and literally on the Flash.
They will tell you its to prevent cheating, in their singleplayer game, but we all know its because it prevents modding. By keeping it online only then the only way to get fun cosmetics or new content is to pay them for it. That online shop/Microtransactions are the ONLY reason its online only.
It doesn’t prevent modding or cheating just makes it more difficult and makes the game have a expiration date(yes the servers will go Down eventually and you won’t be able to play it )
It had a pretty decent movie... Which has the exact same title as one of the worse movies of all time. I rather being strapped onto a chair with nails and being forced to watch Manos: The Hands of Fate instead of that god awful Suicide Squad movie.
@@diegomedina9637 Decent movie that seriously bombed. SS just isn't an IP that people care about outside the first bad movie that had a great soundtrack and costume design.
Remember when bg3 launched on ps5 and there was connectivity issues so larian said turn off your wifi and play offline. This is exactly why games need offline modes. If it's not an mmorpg it shouldn't need constant online connection
Lmao when was it alive ?! I understand you are talking about the Arkham trilogy, one of the best games even imo, but somehow i have a feeling Warner is behind this game's messed up decisions
The worst thing about this was the writing - the non stop yapping makes me think I don’t like Harley anymore..no wonder joker says she’s annoying. Congrats game
Fr. The justice league was the best written part of the game. Not how they died but how they were characterized before and after the mindwipe. Supes in the justice league museum thing was amazing. You can see he does little things like lean down to where the kids would be and then pretend to whisper that he’s not from earth. He’s really human. And that speech Harley gives to Bats before shooting him in his bulletproof cowl was awful lmao
Dude, Harley Quinn is one of the worst characters in all of modern media. She is only second to Jar Jar Binks but it's getting close. Someone tried to tell me she was hot!! lol NO. Back in the early 2010's she certainly was incredibly hot. But now she looks like a teenage boy in every game and show she appears in and just sounds annoying.
I love how right as you hear "Looking for flash? I can find flash." *BAM* right into booted out of live service. Right there i'd go play some flash based games and call it a night.
There should be no reason for a Wii U Arkham game to run better on release than this, but they made sure to let you know there were gonna be cosmetics before the game released! Imagine paying $100 USD for the Deluxe Edition just to play with your quirky JL cosmetics for 2 entire minutes before crashing.
Muta paid 100 USD (not sure canadian conversion) for two minutes of gameplay. What a shame. As it is devs want to increase the price for games, buying a game now feels like donating with the hope of getting the full product 6 months AFTER release.
That's if you buy western AAA slop. As a Nintendo gamer and a fan of JRPGs I've barely ever COME CLOSE to the awful state of western AAA games and when I do like with Immortals Fenix Rising or Spiderman PS4 I'm disapointed. Nintendo, SEGA, a few other companies, and Indies are KILLING IT right now. Of course, Square has made some really dumb decisions recently, Capcom ignores everything that isn't Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and Monster Hunter, and a lot of Indies are now trash focused more on "diversity" and "being deep emotional journeys" rather than having fun gameplay. But there's still TONS of amazing games coming out every year outside of the western AAA slop. As long as you focus on Eastern games and the Indies you're interested in, you should be good. Nintendo recently has been killing it with games such as ToTK, Xenoblade 3, Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4, etc and Square's big mainline releases are finally good again like Octopath 2, the FFVII Remake Trilogy, FFXVI, KH3, etc.
@@KrimsonKattYT. I recently bought my wife Tekken 8 and it has been solid without any issues. It actually is amazing when a game releases finished without patches
Some real bright ones on twitter are CONVINCED we are all hating because its trendy to hate on it right now but oh my god the gameplay alone is enough for me to want to jump into a pool of broken glass.
Between the price increases, always online, games as a service and censorship in remakes and remasters these gaming companies are doing my wallet a HUGE solid.
Yeah I wouldn't buy those either though if they realese 7 Simpsons games 5 remasteres 2 new games so Simpsons hit and run the Simpsons game the Simpsons arade and the Simpsons wrestling and Simpsons bowling the Simpsons racing and the Simpsons game 2
Nah, I don't blame Rocksteady, they just obey what the WB executives tell them todo. It's squarely on the out-of-touch corporate suits that deserve the blame, as they're definitely the ones who pushed the game to be live service garbage.
@@Marksman3434bruv the the current rocksteady ain't the ones we grown up with all the OGs left rocksteady it's a woke company like Disney now nothing else.
It's funny how nobody learned anything from payday 3 and nobody will learn anything from this either. Game companies are doomed to repeat this cycle until they learn.
@@wiZrd0neno they don't it's just a combo meter in the corner of the screen while this game gives you epilepsy with all the number pop ups and glowing pick ups
"They're adding Offline Mode 6 months down the road." WTF? I'm not a video game developer but how hard is it to put an offline mode in a game like this?!
From my very limited understanding of how online video games work, they probably have some sort of offline beta/alpha, but programmed the later parts of the game with online functionality heavily integrated which would made it harder to make an offline version after the fact. It's p obvious to me that they never really intended for this game to be offline until ppl bitched about it.
Well, when they never intended it to have an offline mode until enough noise was made for them to go into panic mode, it’s probably harder to do. This was always going to be a live service Fortnite Model disaster.
It's not hard at all to code an offline mode into a game that was designed with it intended; they never intended to include it. The reason why they are having trouble is because of the way the game is saved, some things are server-side. They usually do this to stop people cheating items in, so their server has to create and verify the "1337 Gun 9000" instead of cheating it in.
Yeah actually servers are pretty damn cheap these days, I currently run a bunch of minecraft servers for my friends using AWS's free tier t1xsmall server Apparently my friends can install crazy mod packs and still play with no lag and 20ms ping (I don't actually know how impressive that is, I've never played Minecraft), they keep insisting that if they wanted to pay for this it would cost them like $40/mo but it's literally free for me i think the main expense, then, is hiring a unix sysadmin like me to manage your servers. the actual servers themselves are basically free
There’s a $60 usd game that’s coming out at the same time as this game called Granblue Fantasy Relink which has multiple playable characters, 4 player Co-op, raids, boss fights and a story mode. Also you are allowed to play this game online AND offline.
> Always online because of the cosmetics shop. They could always just make those DLC, kind of like what Dead or Alive and Senran Kagura does, but they want to force you into FOMO and put your purchases behind their server that they will shut down at any point.
@@ShikiRyougi05 wether you like it or not it's not a peak writing. It's just a generic shonen ahh plot. And Harada even brings back Nina just to give her a DAMN VACATION? After a fight?
I bought Alan wake 2 on the Psn store and took me 4 straight days to download. I love where I live, which is in the middle of nowhere. But, the internet sucks ass, man.
@krnc17 dude same here. I live in the Canadian wilderness and our internet royally blows 😂 but I wouldnt change where I live for anything. I love our little farm.
@@JawsTheHungryShark I live on a farm too ☺️. Wee dairy farm, nothing to boast about or anything. But, I’d happily choose this over her a town or city any day. Completely agree with ya!. ☺️
Idk man. A singleplayer story-driven rated r suicide squad game in the spirit of - and with the passion and level to detail put into - the Arkham franchise could’ve worked and captured the spirit of the comics for once: unpredictable, daring and bloody. Instead we Got “shoot purple guys” the game… alongside all the other problems that came with it
Wait, you are saying its disrespectful to kill a fictional character in a specific story if in a non related way the person who voiced the character dies after the fact? I think its disrespectful to see the va and role as one and the same like that. You are basically boiling his entire identity down to batman.
@@sevenapollo6882 It's not Kevin's final performance as Batman. He's set to reprise (post mortem) the role of Bruce Wayne in 2 upcoming Animated productions: Batman: The Animated Series in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part 3 Batman: Caped Crusader - co-created by Batman: The Animated Series' Bruce Timm - I think this one is a tv show.
What makes me so disappointed that this is set in the Arkham verse it could’ve been fine if it was elseworld. But it being “canon.” To the Arkham Verse is literally to give the game attention and it’s a big slap in the face to the Arkham fans. When the original team left Rocksteady this game was a big red flag from the very beginning.
@@blackjacka.5097Maybe if the game didn’t kill Arkham Batman disrespectfully then people wouldn’t be complaining you do realise the batman that dies in this game is the same one who is the main protagonist in the batman Arkham games so of course people are going to be mad that a very iconic video game character that they probably been with since their childhood has died in the most gruesome way and it’s totally justifiable in the fans perspective anyways your argument is also really sh#### too lmao.
I hate how they say oh you know that Deadshot in the original games and the assault on Arkham animated movie that made impossible shots oh well he was an imposter this random ass guy we're now introduced to he was the real Deadshot probably a demand by Warner Bros for this game to match aesthetically with those terrible Suicide Squad movies
@crimsonninja5090 That's because it technically only requires an internet connection at first startup, but since it requires that, many companies don't see any reason not to just make it online-only anyway.
@@graye2799 The game startup is done while on offline mode, with no internet connection on my pc. It still never gave me any issues really. Unless somehow they did something while I downloaded it, by that point, I think it is fair game, since it doesn't intervene with the gameplay in any way
The funny thing about the Batman death scene that shows a real lack of attention is that Harley's gun is a modified Chiappa Rhino, a revolver. Why do we then hear a shell eject and hit the ground after she shoots him, its a real small thing but i think it matters somewhat in cut scenes
That sucks. I'm 56 and it kinda feels like my gaming days might be behind me but I remember the enjoyment I'd have for hours and hours and hours with games that ran like clockwork. These days with the games so expensive and gameplay limited to online sessions I think I might be better off which is saddening considering the technology and talent that're involved. I hope there are still games that you and your buds can enjoy together, hopefully on a single machine, in a single room, purchased a single time.
The indie scene is fantastic to satisfy those needs. If you ever feel like getting back to gaming and you want some more recent games, indie is the way to go. The scope is smaller than in AAA games, but that usually means their vision is much more focused.
But gamers told them last year they wanted this to have a offline mode added when all that backlash happened last year? Yet Rocksteady giving gamers that middle finger! 🤔
I was turned off from it the moment they revealed the premise and gameplay being a looter-shooter, then it being live-service. After Avenger's I'm not surprised about the reception having some controversy but damn, didn't expect this much of a critique, Rocksteady really ruined all that they had set up.
The people who created the Arkham games pretty much all left, and apparently a rocksteady co-founder left because of this game. This current iteration didn't set up anything... They stole and retconned.
I knew this was gonna happen. Rocksteady put all of their love and passion into building the Batman/Joker duo we all know and love only to completely destroy them in one game. What has happened 😔

@@bohxan1746One, they likely convinced Kevin that this game is in part of the Arkham Asylum games universe, so they want consistency and totally not trying to cash off a popular game series and voice actor. Two, the whole mind controlling thing giving a reason for Batman to not be in the right mind, so he can technically say whatever. Three, Kevin had worked with Rocksteady before and likely gave voice line when the game didn’t have any gameplay, but a promising premise at the time
It's a lose/lose. How would you have felt if WB refused to give a dying man his final role as Batman and gave it to Troy Baker? EDIT: If you're saying this game shouldn't exist at all then that would have been a win
It's kinda insane to think buying a relatively expensive product on launch is considered a gamble these days because you might not even be able to play
I really wish I knew WTF they were thinking when they redesigned her. Her black/red jester outfit was an absolute classic and worked well for her. Not this creepy clown/cheerleader hybrid.
The last one I bought was in 2012. It was called Diablo III and I took 4 days off work to play it starting on the day of release. Thanks to server issues, I was able to play it for about 6 hours before I had to go back to work. It was the last online-only "single player" game I bought, and also the last Blizzard game I bought. I regret nothing.
Diablo 3 was the game that made me forever stop buying online required games. The game was so intense my internet would die from how much of a connection it would need. Which you can't really fix that, I have a single provider and never gonna get a new provider. My only hope for a new provider is dead because Verizon decided to embrace wireless so stopped laying new cable. I don't want 5G I want a wired connection to where I live.
This is why the console version of D3 was the superior choice. I would've waited on that one if I knew in advance it was planned. On any of the console versions, you actually *don't* need to be online to play the game, unless you count "seasonal" stuff, of course.
@@viddykhaos2896 its a company thats goal is incorporating woke agenda and ideologies into video games. they have worked with a lot of games last year
It's almost like we all knew this would be garbage before it even released. Every fool who defended Rocksteady and this game from ppl reading leaks ought to be ashamed of themselves.
On Penguinz's gameplay video of the game there are a bunch of shills in his comment section going thread to thread sniffing copium incredibly hard, it's pathetic lol. They say shit like "oh no, we have to wait for additional seasons so the story can be completed", "the game is fun, you're just a hater", etc. my brother in Christ y'all say the same shit with Avengers and look where it went.
Delaying the finished game by a year just so they could rip out as much of the live service as possible because of the terrible reception it was getting was sure a pretty big neon signpost. Honestly if it wasn't always online I'd probably give it a shot for 1and 59 minutes to see if it was actually fun. I'm not chucking money at a game that I can't play though given how many other actually good games I can play instead. I don't mind giving any kind of game a shot but it's pointless even test driving something that is going to crap out before I can get a proper handle on whether I'm enjoying it or not.
Poor Muta got it wrong... Batman died on a bench like some hobo, it's the Flash that got pissed on. Gotta thank Sweet Baby inc for that wonderful and unbiased storytelling.
Gee, it's almost like tying an always online tether to a largely single player game while also forcing Denuvo DRM on top of that was both whole unnecessary and ridiculously greedy.
If it was a stand-alone game like Gotham Knights, then it would just be whatever. But the fact that this is a sequel and canon to the Arkham series is just depressing
That Sweet Baby page for Suicide Squad is major laziness. They disrespected Batman while having one of Kevin Conroy's final performances, a big insult to the Legend. This game should end up like the last Saints Row game and shutdown the studio.
This game is a perfect example why this live service always online garbage is a crime to everything that makes gaming fun. Combine with the disrespect they gave to Kevin Conroy's Batman and you got yourself a disaster that unplayable to the core.
Games should always include the ability to play offline. Heck the single player component in particular should never be online only. You’re playing on your own/solo. If you’re solo why the internet connection for single player? Why can I not just press play?
Whenever a studio refuses to give out review copies, it means they know the game will suck and are trying to hide it until after all the day 1 purchases
Games should always include the ability to play offline. What happens when the servers go down? It doesn’t matter how good your internet is. If the servers for the game itself are down and the game is online only, tough! You can’t play it.
@@yofwill anthem was quite the clusterfuck. It’s sad the gaming industry never learnt from it. To quote lyrics from the blue oyster cult song “Godzilla”: history shows again and again how nature points up the folly of men.
"What happens when the server goes down" You might realize, its like this because the executives want the game to only be a quich sink for whales til they get bored and move on. Its why they dont care about keeping it playable in the future.
Question: Why is Captain Boomerang using guns as weapons instead of… BOOMERANGS? Which is the whole reason why he’s named Boomerang. Also, wasn’t the asylum shut down after Arkham Asylum (the game)? I’m just saying this cause I see that the squad has Arkham clothes on which Boomerang has for some odd reason. Wth was he doing in Gotham?
@@diegomedina9637I love when people who know nothing of DC shit on Batman. They view him as an elite who beats up the mentally I’ll when that is SO far from his accurate portrayal. Just hope you’re less judgmental of real life people
@@diegomedina9637 People are not mad that Batman or any other member of the JL got killed. It's the fact that the studio exploited Arkham series fans by making this game a canonical continuation. Batman Arkham Knight ended on a cliffhanger and there were speculations on what happend for years to come. They decided to finish Arkham batmans story with literal cardboard cutouts saying exposision while the actual Batman was never "our batman" but generic villain with generic voice lines. Now that the voice actor Kevin has passed we will never, ever going to get anything out of Batman Arkham series anymore. If it was an elseworld story, nobody would care.
Just like Godfall, Babylon's Fall, Outriders, Marvel's Avengers, and the plethora of games before them that flopped due to being forced to be always online, Suicide Squad is gonna join those same games in the "always online games as a service" graveyard. I'm gonna give this game until summer of 2024 before they announce the servers will be shut down, and that's me being generous. I won't be surprised if they announce it will be shut down by the end of March tbh. BTW, did anyone check up on the health of that other always online games as a service game called Wayfinder? Haven't heard anything about it since it's release last year, and given how nobody is even bringing that game up anymore I'm guessing that's another one on the chopping blocks.
Which will change nothing in terms of its immediate survival, it doesn't change the foundation of what it was built on. It does'nt change what it is and that's the real issue. On top of that I will believe it when I see it since they are going to say whatever they can to try and cash in on this while they still can. The people behind these games aren't exactly trust worthy.@@idontknowwhattoputanymore492
Put Redfall on the list. I doubt that they will even fulfill the promise two DLC characters from the overpriced premium edition before deciding to shut down the servers.

@@smergthedargon8974 The aesthetic is pretty important to the games atmosphere. I personally love the absolutely hideous cyberpunk aesthetic, it feels more realistic and gritty than just having bladerunner neon everywhere. Theres alot of deliberation to it since the main director mainly is an artist. Though its also understandable if someones eyes cant deal with that.
Some games are tailored for teamwork, like Destiny 2 or Elder Scroll Online, even GTA V Online. Some games can be played solo like Path of Exile, World of Tanks, War Thunder and a lot more. It is always online however entry and progress persistent is handed out for free so basically if the server goes down tomorrow, player loses nothing technically speaking. And then there are games like Payday 3, Grand Turismo 7, Diablo 4 and I think Diablo 3 as well, and this Suicide Squad: they all have a common thing: User paid money for them, that they have a single player, but no always online and f you if you gets disconnected. Sayonara! You paid $60 to be here and we don't care if you play solo and gets disconnected lol. Internet is not bread and water people. Internet is wine, it is a luxury. It is a hard dependencies that is being abused in modern gaming, and we as gamers should not encourage this type of practice.
I feel Muta's anger. I've gotten in trouble with my parents when I had satellite internet back in the day and these type of games would cause my parents to kick my ass.
yup and remember worked on by a ESG company Sweet Baby Inc for dialogue, audio logs, jokes, etc this game was never going to be good with them in charge of writing it they showed they have no respect for the work and no amount of "content" updates is going to fix that LET THIS GAME DIE
ESG is such a fucking joke. Does anyone ACTUALLY believe it’s going to result in companies being more ethical? They’re literally getting paid to virtue signal while issues get worse, it’s disgusting.
Correction, WESTERN AAA industry. Eastern AAA games are doing fine because they aren't as consumed with greed and corporate mandates. Nintendo and SEGA are at the top of the game right now. It's a great time to be a Nintendo and SEGA fan, though it's hard to not feel bad for the people who enjoy western slop which hasn't been good since the early XB360/PS3 days.
All I'm thinking about is how the Arkham subreddit will get more unhinged as not only did their beloved franchise get abandoned, it also got spat, shat, and dropped off the cliff to die by the very same Studio it got created by.
"This, is how it happened. This, is the batman died." Jimbo's quote in the beggining of Arkham Knight hits so hard right now with all the game plot leaks turning out to be true...
I downloaded Cyberpunk and it bricked my PS5 when I just launched the app. Took 2 hours to get back from a black screen no safe mode to running again. With a little knowledge and a little luck somehow I saved it. Btw love your show watch all the time very informative and entertaining.

Back in the early 2010's she certainly was incredibly hot. But now she looks like a teenage boy in every game and show she appears in and just sounds annoying.
the one adaptation in gotham knights was actually cool@@AlwayzFresh
I love how right as you hear "Looking for flash? I can find flash." *BAM* right into booted out of live service.

Careful Muta. The shills are gonna ask why you can't let people enjoy things.
That's the best part, seeing shills getting mad.
Shills coming out to defend a multi billion dollar company such as WB will never not be funny.
He already pinned one. A huge one in fact.
There should be no reason for a Wii U Arkham game to run better on release than this, but they made sure to let you know there were gonna be cosmetics before the game released! Imagine paying $100 USD for the Deluxe Edition just to play with your quirky JL cosmetics for 2 entire minutes before crashing.
Every shill who defends this garbage isn't a true Arkham fan at heart. The lack of integrity those people have is beyond digusting
Muta paid 100 USD (not sure canadian conversion) for two minutes of gameplay. What a shame. As it is devs want to increase the price for games, buying a game now feels like donating with the hope of getting the full product 6 months AFTER release.
That's if you buy western AAA slop. As a Nintendo gamer and a fan of JRPGs I've barely ever COME CLOSE to the awful state of western AAA games and when I do like with Immortals Fenix Rising or Spiderman PS4 I'm disapointed. Nintendo, SEGA, a few other companies, and Indies are KILLING IT right now. Of course, Square has made some really dumb decisions recently, Capcom ignores everything that isn't Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and Monster Hunter, and a lot of Indies are now trash focused more on "diversity" and "being deep emotional journeys" rather than having fun gameplay. But there's still TONS of amazing games coming out every year outside of the western AAA slop. As long as you focus on Eastern games and the Indies you're interested in, you should be good. Nintendo recently has been killing it with games such as ToTK, Xenoblade 3, Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4, etc and Square's big mainline releases are finally good again like Octopath 2, the FFVII Remake Trilogy, FFXVI, KH3, etc.

@@Dibby47 TLDR
"They're adding Offline Mode 6 months down the road." WTF? I'm not a video game developer but how hard is it to put an offline mode in a game like this?!
That's when the game is dead by their estimates. Pretty bold assumption
From my very limited understanding of how online video games work, they probably have some sort of offline beta/alpha, but programmed the later parts of the game with online functionality heavily integrated which would made it harder to make an offline version after the fact. It's p obvious to me that they never really intended for this game to be offline until ppl bitched about it.
Well, when they never intended it to have an offline mode until enough noise was made for them to go into panic mode, it’s probably harder to do.
This was always going to be a live service Fortnite Model disaster.
@@sax0cat wait, people bitch about games not being online nowadays?
It's not hard at all to code an offline mode into a game that was designed with it intended; they never intended to include it.
The reason why they are having trouble is because of the way the game is saved, some things are server-side. They usually
do this to stop people cheating items in, so their server has to create and verify the "1337 Gun 9000" instead of cheating it in.
Why did Rocksteady kill their franchise? Are they stupid?
The kind of question I wanna see in the batman arkham subreddit
Why did they kill Man ? Did Jonkler make them do it ?
Officer balls
It was intentional. They sold their soul to the devil.

I started playing Crab Champions today. It's really fun. I can run around as a crab and kill shit with a shotgun. Certified banger, imo.

I don't know why companies keep making always online games. It's much cheaper to not have a ton of software straining a server. Servers aren't cheap.
Why? To make stupid gamers pay more for less
Yeah actually servers are pretty damn cheap these days, I currently run a bunch of minecraft servers for my friends using AWS's free tier t1xsmall server
Apparently my friends can install crazy mod packs and still play with no lag and 20ms ping (I don't actually know how impressive that is, I've never played Minecraft), they keep insisting that if they wanted to pay for this it would cost them like $40/mo
but it's literally free for me
i think the main expense, then, is hiring a unix sysadmin like me to manage your servers. the actual servers themselves are basically free
I’m guessing it’s to limit piracy in some way
Its actually to make these games lost media, so people consume the next thing they realease.
There’s a $60 usd game that’s coming out at the same time as this game called Granblue Fantasy Relink which has multiple playable characters, 4 player Co-op, raids, boss fights and a story mode. Also you are allowed to play this game online AND offline.

Wait, you are saying its disrespectful to kill a fictional character in a specific story if in a non related way the person who voiced the character dies after the fact?

@@sevenapollo6882 That doesn't change that the part he played in that game wasn't the last time he voiced the character before dying.

What makes me so disappointed that this is set in the Arkham verse it could’ve been fine if it was elseworld.
But it being “canon.” To the Arkham Verse is literally to give the game attention and it’s a big slap in the face to the Arkham fans.

If any game is online-only without any real reason to be, it's 99% of the time due to its DRM. Namely; Denuvo. Which this game has.
For denuvo, an internet connection is only required at first launch, and then that's it, they leave you alone. It's not a denuvo issue right there
Persona has Denuvo. I play it offline mode on steam. Never had a problem with it stopping me from playing the game.
@crimsonninja5090 That's because it technically only requires an internet connection at first startup, but since it requires that, many companies don't see any reason not to just make it online-only anyway.
@@graye2799 The game startup is done while on offline mode, with no internet connection on my pc. It still never gave me any issues really. Unless somehow they did something while I downloaded it, by that point, I think it is fair game, since it doesn't intervene with the gameplay in any way
The funny thing about the Batman death scene that shows a real lack of attention is that Harley's gun is a modified Chiappa Rhino, a revolver. Why do we then hear a shell eject and hit the ground after she shoots him, its a real small thing but i think it matters somewhat in cut scenes
So that really does happen, the leaks were right? Fml I was hoping it was wrong. Small tiny hope but hope nonetheless. Damn…
Also, she shot him in The bullet-proof helmet💀
That sucks. I'm 56 and it kinda feels like my gaming days might be behind me but I remember the enjoyment I'd have for hours and hours and hours with games that ran like clockwork. These days with the games so expensive and gameplay limited to online sessions I think I might be better off which is saddening considering the technology and talent that're involved. I hope there are still games that you and your buds can enjoy together, hopefully on a single machine, in a single room, purchased a single time.
The indie scene is fantastic to satisfy those needs. If you ever feel like getting back to gaming and you want some more recent games, indie is the way to go.
The scope is smaller than in AAA games, but that usually means their vision is much more focused.
@@miguelcondadoolivar5149yeah I probably play much more indie stuff on Steam and ichio than AAA.

But gamers told them last year they wanted this to have a offline mode added when all that backlash happened last year? Yet Rocksteady giving gamers that middle finger! 🤔
@@manuelvalentine7905Been telling casual gamers this for many years now! 🙂
I was turned off from it the moment they revealed the premise and gameplay being a looter-shooter, then it being live-service. After Avenger's I'm not surprised about the reception having some controversy but damn, didn't expect this much of a critique, Rocksteady really ruined all that they had set up.
As someone who has bad internet because of the area I live in, always online is a huge turn off.
The people who created the Arkham games pretty much all left, and apparently a rocksteady co-founder left because of this game. This current iteration didn't set up anything... They stole and retconned.
At least Avengers was the first game in a franchise, it wasn’t pissing on an old and loved one.
Kinda suprising it isnt an extraction shooter. That seems to be the current biggest live service cash grab fad
I knew this was gonna happen. Rocksteady put all of their love and passion into building the Batman/Joker duo we all know and love only to completely destroy them in one game. What has happened 😔
*ESG joined the chat.*
To be fair, it's not even the same team as the Arkham Trilogy. Even the founders left. Just a shell of a company now.
The original Arkham team and the founders leaving the studio is what happened.

The last one I bought was in 2012. It was called Diablo III and I took 4 days off work to play it starting on the day of release. Thanks to server issues, I was able to play it for about 6 hours before I had to go back to work. It was the last online-only "single player" game I bought, and also the last Blizzard game I bought.
I regret nothing.
Diablo 3 was the game that made me forever stop buying online required games. The game was so intense my internet would die from how much of a connection it would need. Which you can't really fix that, I have a single provider and never gonna get a new provider. My only hope for a new provider is dead because Verizon decided to embrace wireless so stopped laying new cable. I don't want 5G I want a wired connection to where I live.
This is why the console version of D3 was the superior choice. I would've waited on that one if I knew in advance it was planned. On any of the console versions, you actually *don't* need to be online to play the game, unless you count "seasonal" stuff, of course.

Delaying the finished game by a year just so they could rip out as much of the live service as possible because of the terrible reception it was getting was sure a pretty big neon signpost.
Honestly if it wasn't always online I'd probably give it a shot for 1and 59 minutes to see if it was actually fun. I'm not chucking money at a game that I can't play though given how many other actually good games I can play instead.

Boomerang: “I can find Flash!”
Rocksteady: “I’d like to see you try”
That timing was perfection
Gee, it's almost like tying an always online tether to a largely single player game while also forcing Denuvo DRM on top of that was both whole unnecessary and ridiculously greedy.
If it was a stand-alone game like Gotham Knights, then it would just be whatever. But the fact that this is a sequel and canon to the Arkham series is just depressing
This is canon? Holy.
But wait people keep talking about Batman getting killed, but didn't he kill himself with the knightfall protocol in Arkham Knight?
That Sweet Baby page for Suicide Squad is major laziness.
They disrespected Batman while having one of Kevin Conroy's final performances, a big insult to the Legend. This game should end up like the last Saints Row game and shutdown the studio.
Oh absolutely
This game is a perfect example why this live service always online garbage is a crime to everything that makes gaming fun. Combine with the disrespect they gave to Kevin Conroy's Batman and you got yourself a disaster that unplayable to the core.
Games should always include the ability to play offline. Heck the single player component in particular should never be online only. You’re playing on your own/solo. If you’re solo why the internet connection for single player? Why can I not just press play?

The people behind these games aren't exactly trust worthy.@@idontknowwhattoputanymore492
Put Redfall on the list. I doubt that they will even fulfill the promise two DLC characters from the overpriced premium edition before deciding to shut down the servers.

@@chaoticdetectivepeach Spiderman 2? Are you shitting me?
RIP Kevin Conroy this should not have been his last role.
It isn't, he has two more roles as Batman coming up.
I consider Injustice 2 as his true final role (Gaming Wise.)
Kevin Conroy should of not took the covid jab aka the clot shot.
He died of cancer. Not anything vaccine related.@@GoatzombieBubba
@@GoatzombieBubbadude he died of cancer and also the COVID-19 is for the most part relatively safe and far better than catching COVID-19 without being vaccinated. Also it’s to protect the vulnerable.
This is how it happened, this is how rocksteady died
Cope you arkham crybabies youre not getting your batman game 😂😂😂
@@arobotnamedbernardYou cope
@@arobotnamedbernard we already got the batman games. The batman arkham series will go down as the best superhero games in history, while your sucide squad will be remembered as one of the worst, most underwhelming games released. How about you cope? Lmao

I thought the title said "Cruelty Squad Is Terrible And Should Fail" for a second and almost had a heart attack
No, Cruelty Squad is probably miles more fun than that. I’ve never played it, but it’s basically a drug trip condensed into a game
@@Flinch9000 I know it's good that's why I said I almost had a heart attack when I saw the title
God I wish I could stand looking at Cruelty Squad
Everyone says it's good but it's impossible to tell what anything is
@@Flinch9000 Not just "Probably". Cruelty Squad is amazing.
I cant wait for Psychosquad R, its a spriitual squel
@@smergthedargon8974 The aesthetic is pretty important to the games atmosphere.
I personally love the absolutely hideous cyberpunk aesthetic, it feels more realistic and gritty than just having bladerunner neon everywhere. Theres alot of deliberation to it since the main director mainly is an artist.
Though its also understandable if someones eyes cant deal with that.
Some games are tailored for teamwork, like Destiny 2 or Elder Scroll Online, even GTA V Online.
Some games can be played solo like Path of Exile, World of Tanks, War Thunder and a lot more. It is always online however entry and progress persistent is handed out for free so basically if the server goes down tomorrow, player loses nothing technically speaking.
And then there are games like Payday 3, Grand Turismo 7, Diablo 4 and I think Diablo 3 as well, and this Suicide Squad: they all have a common thing: User paid money for them, that they have a single player, but no always online and f you if you gets disconnected. Sayonara! You paid $60 to be here and we don't care if you play solo and gets disconnected lol.
Internet is not bread and water people. Internet is wine, it is a luxury. It is a hard dependencies that is being abused in modern gaming, and we as gamers should not encourage this type of practice.
Pretty sure D3 has an offline mode, and split screen too
Your scream of frustration resonated with me on a monumental level.
I feel Muta's anger. I've gotten in trouble with my parents when I had satellite internet back in the day and these type of games would cause my parents to kick my ass.
yup and remember worked on by a ESG company Sweet Baby Inc for dialogue, audio logs, jokes, etc
this game was never going to be good with them in charge of writing it
they showed they have no respect for the work and no amount of "content" updates is going to fix that
LET THIS GAME DIE
ESG is such a fucking joke. Does anyone ACTUALLY believe it’s going to result in companies being more ethical? They’re literally getting paid to virtue signal while issues get worse, it’s disgusting.
The worst part of the game is the writing. Made me hate Harley n appreciate silent protagonist
There are a lot of unfair criticism going around. This is by all means fair criticism to me
If the studio behind the Suicide Squad game goes under in a month from now, I will not be surprised at all. This is the state of the AAA industry.
Correction, WESTERN AAA industry. Eastern AAA games are doing fine because they aren't as consumed with greed and corporate mandates. Nintendo and SEGA are at the top of the game right now. It's a great time to be a Nintendo and SEGA fan, though it's hard to not feel bad for the people who enjoy western slop which hasn't been good since the early XB360/PS3 days.
@@KrimsonKattYTtbh sega aint perfect at all but compared to western AAA they are way better

"I don't care if they PISSED on Batman!!!"
*Corrupted Flash has left the chat*
I’ll take “How to kill a franchise in one game” for $400, Alex.
It's a slap in the face of Arkham fans of kevin conroy. This game makes the entire journey of Batman from orgins to knight pointless
"So even if you play with yourself, you get the experience of a friend" -mudar 2024
All I'm thinking about is how the Arkham subreddit will get more unhinged as not only did their beloved franchise get abandoned, it also got spat, shat, and dropped off the cliff to die by the very same Studio it got created by.
I mean I would be more mad but it’s so easy to treat it as non canon (even though the studio says it’s canon) because it is full of continuity errors
"This, is how it happened. This, is the batman died."
Jimbo's quote in the beggining of Arkham Knight hits so hard right now with all the game plot leaks turning out to be true...
Suicide Squad: Refund the Justice League
10:49-11:15 Muta Casually predicting the future 😂
I downloaded Cyberpunk and it bricked my PS5 when I just launched the app. Took 2 hours to get back from a black screen no safe mode to running again. With a little knowledge and a little luck somehow I saved it. Btw love your show watch all the time very informative and entertaining.
