@@bezerkeyturkey8847 You know what's funny?

The very thing that made love gaming is very thing that made me lose faith in the industry as whole and they did it in spectacular fashion in the killing of the very character that made me love them.
I'd have to agree Sefton is the problem. Since warner bros offered rocksteady to make a suicide squad game and he deliberately accepted, not knowing if people were even going to be interested.

@@callmejacob3234 Naughty Dog still has a chance to show us they have what it takes, Last of Us 2 had a bad story but was a phenomenal game in every other way. Their new title doesn’t look super promising but we haven’t seen enough yet
@@bezerkeyturkey8847 I think Naughty Dog is incapable of telling an engaging story these days but their games always look beautiful. Writing wise Naughty Dog is dead but man their games look stunning. That's the only thing I can praise Naughty Dog for.
@@bezerkeyturkey8847 I want to root for them but they get in their own way. But I hope the new game is good. I have doubts but I think they can make a new banger.
I've actually been playing Batman Arkham Origins of this writing, and I forgot just how good the Arkhamverse was: Great writing, voice acting (Roger Craig Smith makes a good Batman, I feel), gameplay, and a beautiful open environment. SSKTJL was doomed by its premise, both in gameplay and plot, and so I'm not surprised that now WB are shopping around their various IPs to bidding devs to see who'll buy in the wake of SSKTJL's failure. I'm hoping for a new F.E.A.R. game to come out of this shopping around, personally, but the Arkhamverse will always be a staple of 2000s-2010s DC media and it deserves a better send-off than what it currently has. Maybe a new developer will give us a White Knight-style adaptation of Batman Beyond? I don't know... P.S. From what I remember, most of the vitriol towards Arkham Knight before its vindication came from the fact that it had a dreadful PC port and unceremoniously bought back The Joker as an Alma-style hallucination that haunts the player, pissing off fans who wanted the series to focus on the rest of the rogues gallery.
I feel it was a combination of reasons 1. The gameplay looked awful, instead of having all characters have unique move sets they instead made it a fortnite clone with generic gunplay. Like cmon Boomerang uses GUNS?!? 2. Knowing that there would be a battle pass & Grindy currency also pushed that it would be a live service game that NOBODY asked for. They didn’t learn from avengers failure. 3. Later finding out that rocksteady partnered with Sweet baby inc & the game being worked on by them was the cherry on top of this shit sundae. 2024 was when we had enough and boycotted anything that had any mention of diversity or dei. Seeing what they did with the hero’s & the dlc characters like Freeze & lawless shows they had involvement & it sucked It’s sad cause I was excited about this game but that first gameplay trailer really turned me off & hearing about the battle pass pushed me not to buy it
Yeah... For 3, it goes without saying that as a result of the revelations involving Sweet Baby Inc, the internet has been plunged into the most toxic phase of the Culture War with morons on both sides... But SBI bought this shitshow on themselves by being a bunch of corporate stooges-cum-far left political goons and making some very questionable decisions, SSKTJL included.
The entire 11 minute video detailing the many flaws and mistakes of this company with its regard to this game but a 2 second section is what you took from it? 😂
I remembered that if it wasnt for the arkham games, insomniacs spiderman wouldnt have existed.
If it wasn’t for the Arkham games a lot of games wouldn’t have existed

8:22 I don't see why this design for the joker is so bad if anything it's just really basic
That's part of what makes it bad; no innovation or definitive style. Moreso, his voice acting is UNBEARABLE
I can't tell who's downfall is more tragic Rocksteady's or Naughty Dog's. Both are equally tragic.

We can also add the batmobile's poor implementation which came at the cost of good bossfights
