"They lost 200 million in revenue." Good. Dont disrepect our Batman again or we'll double it.
I think u meant triple bro >:3
Over character? Chill dude
@@OneSockOff_95 that’s the thing, it’s not just one character, their ideology ruined multiple franchises, I’m so glad companies are finally realizing these SJW are worthless.
Not over a character, how he k off by WHOM! 😠 @@OneSockOff_95
Not over a character, how he 🍿 off by WHOM! @@OneSockOff_95
We wanted a Justice Leage game, we wanted Batman Beyond! What did we get? A giant pile of shit NO ONE asked for!!!!!!!!
God, thinking about it, a Batman Beyond game, with Conroy as a mentor figure, would've actually been the perfect send off to his version of the character, wouldn't it?
I know it’s only a dream but we were all anticipating Batman: Beyond Arkham for years and sadly the devs did confirm it was only a fan theory.
Let's not forget we going to make the main character Harley Quinn the dumb@$ bit who can't see HER OWN REFLECTION n da mirror
"This is how it happened. This how Rocksteady dies..."
ngl, has the same energy as the kid that goes "WHEN WILL YOU LEARN! WHEN WILL YOU LEARN! THAT YOUR ACTIONS! HAVE! CONSEQUENCES!!!"
I see what he’s saying but it comes across as a little whiney 😂 AGAIN I get what he’s saying but yeeeesh we gotta grow up 😂
This is his moaning video i guess, where he drops all pretenses and blames the stupid inclusivity firm for every decision when it wasn't.
Has more of the vibe of Michael from Godfather: "You broke my heart, Fredo! You broke my heart!.."
He ain’t wrong though…
They could have done inclusivity without working with people who don’t care about them or their own existing fans.
You’re kinder than me, I don’t care if Rocksteady goes under. Let’s look what they’re doing to the few that stayed loyal and are currently playing their game. Spend hours grinding the same repetitive missions to unlock Joker or buy him and the recycled Green Lantern boss fight for 10 dollars………. They can go off a cliff for all I care.
I just want more good Batman games besides the 6 games we currently have
The 4 main Arkham games
And the two telltale seasons
Those were great but I want more
@@Mohamad-m7mdI’m gonna be real honest with you here. There’s no one talented left to write the story.
@@assassinsknight
If it has the same gameplay as the Arkham games idc for the story to be honest it’s not like Arkham asylum had a great story or anything I just want something fun
Same here, I’m harsh by nature. You mean to tell me it’s been 9 years and we’ve gotten no Batman beyond or superman game? But instead got a suicide squad game? Someone needs to pay
@@fatmanjstyle5306 Then here's me hoping one day we'll get an actual Arkham Red Hood game.
This isn’t even the REAL Rocksteady! They left to start a new company called “100 Star Games” and left Rocksteady in the hands of these failures who don’t know anything about writing good games
The founders of rocksteady still wrote this game dude
If last 2 years have shown anything, it is that gamers are last line of defense against these people. They took Our Comics, they took of TV, They Took our movies. We have to stop them here.
"They invade our comics and we fall back they assimilate entire films and shows and we fall back WELL THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE THIS FAR NO FURTHER AND I WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR WHAT THEVE DONE!"
ok boob
Im confused is Luke upset that WB has made another failure or Is he upset that Rocksteady might be taken down because of the Suicide Squad game?
@@nightwing1491 the first one, also this isn't rocksteady he remembers. all the old guys are gone and started new studio.
I really hate how wokeness destroyed our entertainment for the sake of stupid propaganda
No one has ever given a crap about this studio outside of the Arkham games. I pray Oculus and Camoflaj studios resurrect the franchise.
Speak for yourself. Stop acting like everyone is fucking cynical like you
Iron Man VR Sold Well & was Well Made, I do have hope that same company does well with the Arkham VR game
@@OceanofStarsVRand after Arkham shadow, we can get games with red hood, Superman, & teen titans all in the same Arkhamverse.
They ain’t saving anything you’re delusional
Thats because ALL THEYVE EVER MADE WAS THIS AND A SWAT GAME DUDE LOL
the rocksteady leaders that made the GOOD games of the arkham verse already left and formed their own studio, taking all the rest of the GOOD developers that were just as important and qualified to make a good arkham game... the good devs are gone, rocksteady is now a shell where a foreign crab has taken refuge and claimed all the acclaim owning that shell gave it.
This hurts too see a Goliath like Rock steady turn into a laughing stock. Rock steady needs to go back to the drawing board & make a game that will be remembered. This is embarrassing they completely spat in our faces, and they expect us to agree with their product. Disgusting I'm glad WB lost 200 million maybe this time they will actually learn their lesson. If not keep on losing money for all I care. Thanks for the vid Luke God bless you
It was doomed from the beginning, from the moment sweet baby got involved
It's funny that Sweet Baby put a sour taste in the mouths of adults everywhere.
oh shut up
This whole country is a whiny baby. All because of this gender equality and P.C bullcrap
@@joediegidio3633 You shut up.
Even without Sweet Baby, the issues with the gameplay and design would have made it fail anyway
Suicide Squad: Kill The Rocksteady Legacy.
Truly sad how they've destroyed their own universe.. comicbook accurate much..crisis event bs. This is evil.
Honestly I am not surprised because this game was doomed to fail from its inception to its execution in my opinion.
I can relate to being distraught when your favorite thing is destroyed by something later down the line. Arkham, or other. It's painful. Similar to this, I don't like seeing my favorite book get destroyed in their adaptations. I hope Rocksteady and Warner Brothers as a whole learn from this.
Not the first time they've done this they are learning squat.
Always love your Videos Luke!, Been watching since I was 13, But at this point I think there's no hope for Arkham, I just hope they just start a whole new DC Games Universe with a new Batman Series and HOPEFULLY a Superman Game...
I disagree. RockSteady destroyed itself
You got a source to back up that claim? All evidence points to Rocksteady being forced to make this game against their creative wishes, hence why the founders left as soon as they legally could. Seems to me like you're just making stuff up.
Warner bros are the ones who screwed rocksteady
Exactly. You can't blame the WB or Sweet Baby for poor game design.
No, sweet baby ink ruined this game. Their bs dei and feminist agendas being forced into the game (which guids the narrative) is what killed the game
@@imemovengeance oh right, I remember reading In an article somewhere that in the early design phase of the game, Sweet Baby was all like "uh yeah yeah and make all the characters just run around and pew pew pew because dei".
They had damn near a decade to build on Arkham Knight and what did we get? 3rd person shooter. WB didn't tell them to do that. SB didn't have a say in game play.
People were so pissed off when actual game play was revealed that the game got delayed.
Man i remember when kwing and arkhamvideos were pumping out Batman gameplay vids. Im still subbed to both since high school.
Honestly, I’m so sad that these companies just refuse to listen to their consumers. Like, people are TELLING these capitalists how they can get our money. And yet, they just don’t hear it.
If only we had Marxists running the company. We could have great games like in Cuba.
Problem is fans don’t know what they want either.
Me after spending years getting the message rammed down my throat and my beloved heroes and myths and fictional stories and escapism tarnished corrupted and sacrificed In the name of false inclusiveness:
"They invade our comics and we fall back They assimilate entire films and TV shows and heroes and our beloved characters that are supposed to inspire us and yet we fall back WELL THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE THIS FAR NO FURTHER!!!!! AND I WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR WHAT THEVE DONE!
You know what sucks the most? This hurts Superman's fans just as much as it does Batman's fans.
SSKTJL is the closest we're ever gonna get to a Superman game and...the world of Metropolis is in ruins constantly. The civilians are dead. Even Superman himself is dead.
and then you've got the fans of Wonder Woman, Lantern, Flash, and how their favorite heroes were treated in this joke of a game.
Really, SSKTJL is just a giant middle finger to us fans and rather than make an amazing game that people could keep playing endlessly, they instead just wanted a quick cash grab while insulting the consumer at the same time.
I remember they cancelled a Superman game that we almost got 😭😭 Gosh are we ever going to get a Superman game these days!?
I mean wonder woman was treated alright, shame I can't say that for anyone else.
@@ben_s_stop_motion Yeah the problem there is the rest of the cast should've been treated just as well as she did.
True brother. I would’ve loved as a Batman fan to be able to play an Arkhamverse Superman game. Imagine how much darker it could’ve been with how messed up Arkham is with supes in it. Nah no Superman, Wonder Woman, or green lantern for us. What’s worse is that staro is in the arkhamverse and we could’ve had something better. This whole thing feels like an elseworld universe not even connected.
Last time I checked you're meant to uproot the weeds, not hand over your entire garden.
Its a shame that the Arkham universe is ruined because of Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League and I hope Rocksteady can bounce back
Hell both figuratively and litterally, Superman's world in the Arkhamverse is ruined as well because of Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League.
After following you for as long as I have, I've come to learn that you're pretty much always right....I wish others would learn that too.....Also even though I would much prefer another Batman game, I would've haven been to upset about a Suicide Squad game, if they focused on making a good story, but they didn't. And yeah, they should never work with Sweet Baby Inc again...maybe no studio ever should.
I replayed through Arkham Knight after Suicide Squad released. I didn't even play Suicide Squad, but even I felt like I needed some cleansing. Arkham Knights such a great game. Another Arham Knight that expands on the dual play feature could have been amazkng. Arkham Origins 2 where you play as Batman and Robin in an open World would be my dream.
Rocksteady isn’t the same as it was when they made Arkham. Sweet Baby Incorporated is the destroyer of game franchises. If anything good comes from this it’d have to be that Sweet Baby Incorporated is brought down
im noticing a trend with whenever wb tries to push a suicide squad property
Honestly when you look at a game that uses characters such as the Justice League that are completely disrespected, with their honor and legacy violated and shat on. They strapped the JL to a pole and let a feminist Harley Quinn kill them.
How on earth was the legacy of the League insulted.
The game is a twisted elseworld similar to Marvel Zombies, it's barely connected to Arkham, the Arkham references were a forced marketing tactic.
I'm sure The League will continue being wonderful characters like they have been for years.
The game doesn't change that, it just wanted to do an out of the box concept although the great concept didn't live up to its fullest potential.
You know I grew up watching Kwing Arkham videos. Heck I grew up playing the Arkham games. You need to do better Rocksteady, because you just massacred your universe.
You're right really how this happened why they did this it's not understandable making sskjl brings them nothing but sorrow and disappointment it's such a shame
The only way they could fix this is if they make an Arkham origins sequel and Arkham beyond gamenand me personally i would like an Arkham Catwoman game that would be 🔥 if done Right
Yeah but this will be another one corporate chalks up to gamer rage about online services.... to some degree they're right. But what I mean is that they won't learn their lesson on the woke garbage and continue to shove that in everything.
I'll always bring that quote but here it is:
"It would be funny if it wasnt so pathetic...."
"Oh what the heck I'll laugh anyway."
Yup
I have absolutely zero sympathy, we’ve known for a while there are serious trouble makers at Rocksteady, the truth of the matter is Rocksteady is no longer Rocksteady most of the actual talent has left, the people responsible for giving us Arkham are largely not the same people that pushed and developed this god awful game. I’ve been saying for months the legacy of this game will be it will be directly responsible for losing people their jobs and livelihoods and I have very little sympathy for what was once a fantastic studio but those who are there have zero right to bask in the greatest of what once was, because they had nothing to do with the success and everything to do with its failure.
The rumor that old devs left is a lie!! I looked up on their Linkedin profiles and NO, the old devs did not leave!! 70-80% are still there!!! Plus Sefton Hill claimed it was obviously brought by the same tema of the Arkham Trilogy!!
@@krunalpatel1118
Well then they have no excuse at all and deserve what they get.
However I was under the impression that 20-30 developers responsible for the Arkham Games left with Sefton Hill in 2022.
@@mcribprime6594 Then you are no better than WB!!(It was less than 20, but ok) Wishing that they deserve it, you are no better than WB!! Thats all i gotta say to you
@@krunalpatel1118
Make garbage and expect to be rewarded nope!!!
@@mcribprime6594 Like I said, you are no better than WB!!
Spiderman and batman are my favorite superheroes.while I'm glad Spiderman is doing great it makes me sad to see how arkham is doing. It's like seeing a childhood friend turn to drugs.
Rocksteady CHOSE to add story elements that the consultants gave. Regardless of the story issues, the gameplay and game design is all on Rocksteady and Warner Brothers than Sweet Baby Inc.
Sucks that we could of gotten that Damian Wayne game that has leaked art and takes place in the future after Arkham Knight but instead we got SSKTJL... Plus I know he said it's a little weird with Damian but it makes sense since talia mentioned in Arkham City about their "fun time" in metropolis but Batman told her how she drugged him and such. Which is how Damian is born. So maybe when Damian grew up he would of tried to find Bruce in the cancelled game
That was not from Rocksteady!! It was WB Montreal and it was confirmed to not be set in the Arkhamverse!!! Plus Arkham Origins was setting up a Suicide Squad game, so yeah!! You need to face the truth sometimes!!!
First off I nowhere near said it was rock steady making the game. It's still a WB game. And yes origins was setting up the suicide squad but the Damian Wayne game was the project they wanted to work with and a suicide squad game was cancelled. You need to face the truth and stop riding WB 💀
There was so many possibilities a prequel game set between asylum and origins
a red hood game
a Nightwing game
They could’ve done anything other than SSKTJL
@@maverick9357 I already know that!!! Rocksteady been working on a live service game for years after VR!!! WB just asked them to do Suicide Squad and they agreed to this!!! The idea of Suicide Squad vs Justice League was an amazing idea to me!!!! I agree that there were flaws and could’ve done better but still!!
@@Mohamad-m7md I mean yeah, but if they were to do SSKTJL, expand the Arkhamverse with other games like that!! Like how the DC animated movies are doing!! The Live Actions, except a few, are sorry asf!!
2 problems the trouble makers own Rockstudy agree with sweetbady ! Second WB thinks it can can make more money on live service then signal player experience
Not just WB, Rockstar, and Sony is as well, but saw how well single player games sale and backtracked, somewhat.
I don't understand why people were expecting a follow-up to Knight. Rocksteady literally said back in 2015 that it was meant to be the last game. It blows my mind that people have been waiting the past 9 years for a new Arkham game, like didn't you guys see all the promos calling Knight the final chapter back in the day? It's no less ridiculous than if somebody said they were "waiting for a sequel to LotR: Return of the King" lol. The story ended, and that's a good thing.
I mean. It would have been if they hadn't made SS which is in the Arkham Verse
No I think people just wanted a Batman game that played similarly but the story be its own thing or even just an Arkham origins sequel
Sweet Baby Inc. ruined Spider-Man 2 as well, so joke's on the Spider-Man fans. LOL
I can’t believe they cancelled the Damian Wayne Batman game heck even the Superman game!!!!! For trash Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad!!!! WB and Rocksteady should be ashamed!!
Amen
this is embarrassing for the WB and Rocksteady for working for Sweet Baby... from canceling ideas people want, green lighting bad ideas nobody wanth and ruining their own lagacy, I can see why people no long trush Rockstedy and see why SSKTJL is the blow they'll never come back on... but 100% hope Rocksteady can give hell to the negative press and bring fans back with whatever good idea they go with for the next game, hopefully.
I choose to just not acknowledge whatever this game is not my arkham batman I just can't cope knowing it exists 😭😭😭
Well I hope it does live on cuz I grew up with these games and I don't want to see the Arkham universe die
Hopefully this will be a massive warning for companies, AVOID SWEET BABY INC AT ALL COSTS!!!! And if not, well, there's the old games that we can still play. I'm playing through the Arkham Trilogy again.
This game failed cuz it was bad not this. Spider-Man 2 had them as well and that game is giant success
@@inshal6420 thank you, I’m no fan of sweet baby myself but these “gamers” are making this sound worse then it truly is
It hurts because we waited and waited for something only for the next game to be a dumbstier fire in terms of story and if they continue the series with Arkham origins sequel and not get bad writing I hope it will be a great game.
I think all western game industry follow the similar path
this new concept that they worked on could have worked if they could do better in story and game play , like i saw so many people give ideas about what they would have done and i liked them much more than they gave us
like it's more than 3 weeks and the news keeps getting worse and worse about sskj and our franchise the arkham universe, I'm just disappointed and mad because it's getting more likely that we won't be able to see our heroes getting what they deserve
so what now, the damage is done, what they would or could do now ?
They should've just Given another update to Arkham Knight and Given us the Knightfall costume
I knew this was coming and I have NO HOPE for future Batman games . Rocksteady made me fall in love with Batman games and New Rocksteady killed that love.
Make kwing the producer of the games we want!!! Make a petition!!!
Pass, unless I can terminate the consulting contract...
Not surprised at all. They used to be on top of the world now they're at the bottom of the barrel.
Another TH-camr that I'm subscribed to commented on a video about the Suicide Squad game and rightfully placed the blame on Sweet Baby Inc but for some reason it caused the reviewer to go berserk against them. I won't say which TH-camr it is but just a warning you might be in for some hateful comments.
They already cause My channel problems. Don't run from a Bully, stand your ground and fight back. Bully's are cowards.
@@kwingsletsplays I always do and I will pass on your advice.
Cool video Kwing!
i love the wordplay at the beginning you used
9:09, nah dude you got that wrong. All 4 were phenomenal.
No way you actually called Arkham Asylum "Ok"
Dont disrespect the OG Arkham game like that
So if Luke is upset then I am too , and I know Luke and he doesn't like this 1 bit , so I get this I really do , and I felt bad , so what can I type then nothing cuase of this situation that Luke is upset and angry with this . If I have to say anything I'll have Luke to change it call him ArkhamGrandfather he will tell everything I get Luke what he's saying the right thing
Yeah man…when Spider-Man came out….i thought for sure Rocksteady was coming with something I’d never thought id see which could’ve been a Superman game. Even the Gotham knights that we got could’ve been reworked into an Arkham sequel…we basically already got it w the dlc. How cool would it have been to have the “Knighthood” or whatever the stupid traversal was in that game be the wing suit. They keep dropping the ball again and again w this; and we can go on all day about what could’ve been, but I just want to say im done w consuming this era of dc content until the company hires competent creators w a vision for something great for these characters.
Monolith needs to get another shot at a batman game after that leaked nolan batman game footage
Rocksteady did this to themselves. We are learning more about this and THEY wanted to go a live service and THEY wanted a shooter.
A tragedy… Batman V Superman would have been an amazing follow up
They'd need to make a standalone Superman game first. Doing a Batman V Superman story where one of the two leads hasn't been set up prior would be insane. I mean, can you imagine if they didn Batman V Superman movie featuring a Batman that had never appeared prior? That would be so dumb lol.
@@HOTD108_yeah right I mean imagine if that Batman V Superman film had a Batman who kills people or a Superman who’s moping or Lex Luthor acting like the Riddler. Imagine they kill off Jimmy Olsen or have Doomsday come out of nowhere to kill off Superman right after he had a first movie. Crazy
Awesome video Kwing! Thanks!😊
This just needed to be batman in metropolis, trying to save the justice league from brainiac and save the world. Batman using his contingency plans against the justice league would be peak as a game, especially as an arkham game. If they wanted to make it online, bring in the bat-family.
Great video as always. Im really interested in what sefton hill and jamie walker are cooking up in their new studio!
It’s time to move on buddy it’s not that serious 😂🤍 hopefully we get another Batman game from another studio.
Then leave
@@art23428 don’t cry 😢 😂
@DeeboFromHI sounds like you're crying over this guy's video opinion sounds like you just hate people's thoughts on things 🤔
@@art23428 🤣🤣🤣
All these extremely toxic check box consulting companies need to be shut down immediately. Rocksteady maybe dead now for all this including chasing treads. It's disgraceful and same is currently happening with Silent Hill 2 Remake.
Im angry about all of this. The original devs left so I want rocksteady to fail. We’ve waited 9 years for a failed suicide squad game that insulted the original source material and digged it’s own grave. We could’ve gotten an Arkham origins sequel, Batman beyond game, Superman game, green lantern, flash, Justice league, teen titans, a green arrow & black canary duo game, red hood solo game. I MEAN SERIOUSLY WHAT THE ACTUAL FK HAPPENED!?
No! I don’t wanna play as an annoying clown and shoot my favorite iteration of Batman in the head. I wanted him to Atleast guide and help the suicide squad free the JL from brainiac.
Luke is so real that’s why I’m still subscribed just tells it how it is
while sweet baby likely made a few changes to the story that made the quality worse, we need to remember they weren't they key writers behind this game, if they weren't involved, the story would still be utter crap, the writers to blame are rocksteady's very own writers, they wrote the garbage story of arkham knioght, and they wrote the trash fire that is suicide squad, people need to know where they should direct their criticism at otherwise the main problem people just slide by
Its sad yet for some reason I dont feel that much empathy for RS at the same time neither though. To see u get this mad Luke over a company you have been with since 2009's Arkham Asylum is completely justified. One of my friends back in high school got me into this Arkham verse as he showed me the OG game at his house on his PS3 years ago and I luved it too. The gameplay the story the voice acting all well done and yet improved over the years.
We warned them not to release this game and they delayed by like another u year after the awful reception on the first trailer. Ypu can also thank the black feminist who hates men and loves herself the founder of Sweet Baby Stink her self as well. Her parasitic company has a knack for ruining great game franchises. And killing longtime DEV companies like Saints Row as Volition was shut down last year too.
Blame it on the company WB they need to make better decisions
Also I have no understanding why WB keep pushing Suicide Squad like it's a thing, when it's just not a thing and never will be but they just keep doing it anyway.
Just remove it from cannon, wouldn’t be the first time they did that
so much of this rant can be applied to ....most of the gaming industry at this pooint and that is just depressing to think about. Gaming is such a beautiful and wonderful artform that has done so many cool things over the years and the modern state of the industry...just sucks
They will work with Sweet Baby Inc again, and will continue to forever. They don't care about making money. People like them never did.
We can all rest easy knowing the original team didn’t make that game. The Arkham series Id rather see stay as 4 great action packed masterpieces than see it be literally pissed on and disrespected.
I didn't think Rocksteady could top Gotham Knights as an even bigger failure but that's why they are the top dog. They get shit done that no other dev team could achieve.
Nothing hurts like losing one of best companies in the world (rocksteady), knowing that there is no one to blame but WB
Kwing, I think we need to start referring to Sweet Baby as Evil Infant. Because that's exactly what they are. And WB is right up there with them. Making stuff to cater to the 1% while practically flipping off the 99% that have stuck with them for decades.
This all started when they hired a Marvel guy to run DC. It's all been a downward spiral for two years now. You are right. The company is the villain. Not the Joker. I am sick of watching my favorite characters get screwed over and distorted into something completely unrecognizable with so many self-inserts that it ain't even funny.
They squash their fanbase chasing an audience and a dream, both of which don't exist. How can DC ever catch up with Marvel if they keep rebooting and ruining everything they touch?
Marvel is licking their chops at all of the destruction being brought to DC by WB, Evil Infant, and their very own white haired Trojan horse. They've wanted the competition dead for years. Looks like they may finally have it.
(If this all seems like nonsense, I'm sorry in advance. Autism isn't exactly a good thing to have for comments like these)
Honestly, i didn't want to say anything about the whole Sweet Baby inc thing. But after the stuff I've seen and heard after these past few months, and with the disaster of Season 1, I desperately need to say something about all of this.
I wanna start off by saying i was a massive hater of Sweet Baby Inc for quite a while (doesn't mean i care much about them right now), since i didn’t like some of the things in the plot in Spiderman 2. I even played Gotham Knights for quite a while, and thought it was a very wierd game (Got it for Red Hood). I didn't know about Sweet Baby at the time of playing Gotham Knights.
I got even angrier when i saw the Suicide Squad game unfold over the coming months, since it seemed like every single choice they chose was to piss people off.
I figured these “Woke”(hate that word to death) things wouldn't be around In these games if Sweet Baby wasn't involved.
Then i saw stuff on the game “Skull and Bones”, come out with things that it feels like Sweet Baby Inc would do. for one, the chief officer(the lady that's basically your kinda guide, and waits on a boat at shore), originally was meant to be a man instead. Then there was a lady who’s character was almost entirely “i hate men”
After all I've seen, it definitely feels like things Sweet Baby would do. Yet where are they with this game? Nowhere.
Honestly, the biggest question on my mind at that point is “who do i trust?”
I didn't really know where to stand in this situation until i saw that WB plans to double down on Live-Service games. Even after this flop.
Of everything you say in the video, the one line that's stuck with me is “The company is our greatest adversary”
And to say your right would be the greatest understatement of 2024. i have been seeing so many projects made by WB get thrown out over the past few years mainly for money.
And that, i believe, is the biggest Reason to the question you ask in the video: “why?”
Money
For people reading this, if you want to blame Sweet Baby Inc for this disaster, then that's fine. I didn't make this comment to judge people(at least, trying to. I'm trying my best to not rub you all the wrong way).
But we cannot ignore that Rocksteady, and Warner Bros. are also guilty in this travesty. Warner Bros. wanted Rocksteady to make a live service game instead of a Batman Beyond, or Damian Wayne game (if they're the same thing, I apologize. I can't tell). Rocksteady is still supporting the game despite it's poor reception.
And, in my personal opinion? I truly believe that next to nothing would've changed had Sweet Baby not been involved.
I believe Harely still would make creepy and uncomfortable jokes. I believe Boomerang would've still “disrespected”(y'all know what i mean) flash's corpse. Batman still would've gotten shot on a park bench. And we would still be hunting down all 13 Brainiacs as part of the Live Service content.
The only good thing we can take away from all this? The smarter ones abandoned ship and made their own: Hundred Star. I'm honestly interested in seeing what they make down the line.
despite all of that….i truly believe we aren't past the worst of it. With there likely being more live service games from WB on the horizon, I believe other games, and franchises will suffer a similar fate in short order for quite some time (Hogwarts Legacy seems the most likely candidate).
Be prepared, friends. Dark days are ahead.
Now they're screwing around with a vr only batman cause they think they can still f around and find out
They lost 200 million in revenue, it should have been 200 zillion.
As 4 da Damien Wayne Story, the VA said it was leaked but that was a stupid reason to cancel it, I really believe it was more than da leaked.
6:56-6:58 Dat kick was on point. Wow.
Hey kwing I wanted to ask you but I didn't know how to contact you I assume you don't care about me talking about it I feel the same about suicide squad but I play it cuz it has the rocksteady brand and I loved the arkham series but do you think the game has a chance now that flash is back?
I'm shocked., SHOCKED. Well not that shocked.
Great video KWING! 💯
Kinda wished we got a Justice League game instead of a suicide squad game I also wished that Insomniac didn’t canceled their live service Spider-Man game that people would want way more than suicide squad which no one really wanted myself included
I guarentee you that would go like marvel’s avengers!! Keep your wishes low!!!
Dunno if it's an Under The RedHood reference at 2:30, when he said "Why on God's green earth", but all i can hear is Jason confronting Bats
The arkhamverse ended with arkham knight. Suicide squad is just a wannabe arkhamverse title. James gunn has no idea what hes talking about regarding the future of rocksteady
Tru
Hope the og team who made their own studio make something amazing for the future
Love kwings energy in this vid
Rocksteady died with Sefton Hill’s departure.
You reap what you sow
True fans rise up
I can’t believe I defended the game.
I believed in Rocksteady that much and this is how they repay not only me but the fans - the community: that’s been around since their incarnation. They ruined everything and a part of me will always be depressed about that as a fact.
The reason that this happened is because WB only cares about one thing; Profit. They’re honestly not that different, if at all, from publishers like EA. As long as they’re laughing all the way, to the bank, the quality of their games don’t matter. It also doesn’t matter, to them, if developers lose their jobs. As someone who loves Batman Arkham, and Insomniac’s Spider-Man, this is incredibly sad. We could’ve had those two titans neck and neck, with their modern game libraries, for years to come. However, WB making Suicide Squad a live service, and Sweet Baby Inc’s meddling, has irreparably damaged the Arkham mythos. Rocksteady once had it all. Now, they’re a finger snap away from losing everything.
While Sweet Baby Inc and their handling of Batman in SSKTJL are certainly a factor in the failure of this game, I don't believe they deserve all the blame. There are so many other factors, such as the choice to make this game a live service shooter game, the gameplay reveals looking terrible, the UI filling up the screen with so much information, the fact that WB has tried so hard to push the Suicide Squad without them ever really catching on, and the fact that you were having to kill the Justice League as C-list characters (minus Harley who's become A-list somehow) instead of getting a game where you play as the Justice League. The choices from Rocksteady and WB are just as much to blame as Sweet Baby Inc's story choices. I had already decided I wouldn't waste my money on this game long before the leaks of Batman being shot in the head came out. That was just the nail in the coffin. That's my two cents anyway.
First of all Sweet Baby worked on just bios, henchman conversations, audio tapes, it's such a small harmless part of the game.
Second - the Suicide Squad deserves a game just as much as the Justice League, just because the Squad aren't huge characters doesn't make them less unique and interesting.
The Squad has all the potential in the world for an amazing one of a kind game - even though I like the final game, I don't love it.
@@VampireTales729You're wrong, on their website they specifically stated under the project they worked on scriptwriting, barks, and cutscenes. Stop the pathetic gaslighting
@@chrisbryan7611 Sweet Baby's main job is a consulting firm that just checks up on and advises diversity content in games if the developer is uneasy about how they are portraying that group, Sweet Baby has never written cutscenes, story plot points ever.
Even if Sweet Baby did magically write Kill The Justice League, what harm did they do exactly, there is no forced diversity content in the game whatsoever, all of it feels perfectly normal and natural just like how it is in reality.
@@VampireTales729 You clearly didn't go to their website before changing it. No forced diversity? Yeah, that's why the Deadshot in this story is black even though he's been white since the conception of the Arkhamverse, but we just have to accept the white one is from another universe and that Batman never seemed to figure that out in the first place...yeah no forced diversity, got it. Plus the Poison Ivy reveal was poorly executed and the writing resorted to MAP jokes revolving around Ivy and Harley despite the fact those two were never a thing in the Arkhamverse. Please cope harder, your delusional rants give me life
@@chrisbryan7611 Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League's Arkham games connections are hanging by a breaking thread, the pointless connections to Arkham games barely impacts or matters to the game at all and was just a idiotic misguided marketing tactic, the game really is and should be treated as a twisted bleak DC alternative universe similar to Marvel Zombies.
How does Deadshot being black largely impact his character at all, it barely matters, even if you treat him as Arkham game Deadshot, Arkham Deadshot is barely a character, he shows up in two side missions in City and Origins, Batman beats him straight away nearly as soon as he shows up onscreen, then he's gone forever for the rest of the of the two games.
Harley never hits on child Ivy, she is just very surprised that she is a child now, your mind must really be in a disgusting gutter to see anything sexual in their interactions, Harley literally just tries to remind Ivy of the affection that the two characters had for each other for years since Ivy's memory is erased.
Sweet Baby just looked over the script and cutscenes to give their advice on the diversity content already featured in them which barely impacts the game at all, they never wrote the story or 90 percent of the dialogue.
Did you see the scene where harley quinn shoot batman
Wasted what could’ve been kevin’s final batman Arkham game where the plot is from Batman’s perspective and he has to stop the brainwashed justice league as well as contending with waller and her kill squad. So for example imagine batman is trying to stop brainwashed superman from killing innocents while AT THE SAME TIME protecting Superman from the suicide squad trying to eliminate him. Could’ve been an amazing final third person arkham game but instead they wasted the last chance (they didn’t know of course) of kevin starring as the true batman one last time. what a failure of a company on every level and every division even the animated division is crumbling with those mediocre tomorrowverse animated films. Please god just remove dc’s corpse from wb’s clutches lol
