I've learned over the years that's why these gaming companies do what they do? Gamers are some of the worst in the world that can be easily manipulated into buying any type of game ever made! These games could have only 1 hour of gameplay and you've got so called "gamer's" that will state it's the best game of that so called year? That is why these corrupt gaming developers/publishers keep releasing online only related content because once it's made what 💰 it can they cancel so that it can never be played again.
My biggest issue is that the logic behind how these guys manage to kill the Justice League is lame. I mean why have a game centered around killing the league when you don't even put much effort into making the concept seem believable?

I really feel like with some careful consideration of how to scale his abilities, a great Superman game is possible now. Make it so he has to fly above buildings to go at full speed safely, think of some way to have enemies that can challenge him in combat (like some new form of Kyrptonite that reduces his strength so you have to increase it over the game) and maybe build the game around saving people with satisfying spectacle over constant fights.
It makes a nonsense of Batman going to ALL THAT TROUBLE in his last game, sacrificing SO MUCH to fake his own death and go off to be alone. We’re meant to accept he just decided to join the Justice League after ALL THAT and said, “Meh.” . . . ? ? ? WTF!!!??? Great acting and pretty good graphics don’t make up for a dreadfully mid game of a type that no one wanted. And the utter disrespect they show these (BELOVED) characters is just unfathomable! Confusing! Dumb! WHO thought pissing on Flash’s corpse and saluting the penis that did it was a, “good idea!?” And the less said about the abuse of Kevin Conroy’s talents and legacy with such an ignominious end, the better.
This is Rocksteady in name only. Just like the Bioware that made Anthem is Bioware in name only. Or The Volition that made Saints Row is Volition in name only. I could go on.

I don't have any issues with any of the heroes dying. The game is literally called Kill the Justice League lmao The overall story of the game isn't really bad, it just doesn't fit in the Arkham universe. Rocksteady would have been better if they just made this game in its own stand alone new universe. If you did want to have it connected to the Arkhamverse, they should have either made a sequel to Arkham Knight or make a new game entirely based on another DC character i.e Green Lantern.
Better than Avengers? I've played both and by no means was Avengers a great game but what it got right was the heroes. When you played Thor you played a lot different than if you were Black Widow or Ironman or Cap. Ontop of that Avengers even had team up takedowns since you know its a coop game? Suicide Squad has none of this. Besides their traversal styles all 4 of them play pretty identical. Shoot shoot, and shoot some more.
Me and the wife played it. She started it and I’d avoided it despite it being free for weeks, due to the bad reviews. Actually ended up really enjoying it. Got a little grindy at the end, but was overall enjoyable, and I’m pretty picky with what I start.
Wb is 5 years too late to jump on the live service bandwagon but also this game wouldve sold so much better if they focused on better gameplay and a more believable story in a well crafted game like guardians did. This games a one and done
This gonna be dead before the end of the year and the games that got compared at the end pretty much is that final nail in the coffin. And thats just sad, what a fall from grace.😔
Gamers truly are easily entertained anymore. I get liking something and enjoying it because we all aren't the same. But if this is all you can manage to slap together after 9 years you deserve every ounce of criticism you take. Nine years and the only thing worth experiencing is the campaign which is less than 10 hours. I had a decent time with the campaign, but I am glad that steam gave me a refund. I hope that Rocksteady continues to add content but I don't know if that will even save this game.
To think they tried to release this game before and with all the backlash had to go back to the drawing board to still release an unfinished online only game today? Sad that this was Kevin Conroy's last role as Batman yet all Rocksteady managed to do is ruin his legacy. Do not buy this game people it'll eventually be scrapped just like all other online only games....
I've come to the realization that Harley Quinn has become the DC equivalent of Captain Marvel. A female character who had a certain amount of popularity rebuilt to fit a more "modern audience" approach and then shoved into peoples' faces that it will become popular. And failing repeatedly.
I can't be disappointed in something I didn't believe in to begin with lol. It does appear less shitty than I thought though. Certainly a pass nonetheless.
In essence, Avengers 2.0: Suicide Squad Edition. Decent combat, decent story, garbage gaas attempt. What a shame. You'd think they would have learned from the mistakes of Avengers. Instead they decided to double down on all the shitty aspects everyone hated about that game, and slap a DC skin on it. I wasn't confident about this game to begin with, but I expected better from Rocksteady.
@@elliott1996jsr that is still an amazingly nonsensical way to travel... In this universe, the engineers have the technology to build drones with enough thrust to carry a human, but they couldn't design a harness to just directly fly with it? Instead this design requires the user to repeatedly shoot a grappling hook to a moving target to fly? It's just stupid. Just hook the grapple onto it and just fly using the drone. It's obvious they wanted to rip off the spider man swinging movement aesthetics. But, spiderman swings through the air because he is latching onto fixed objects to propel himself forward. She is connecting and disconnecting to a literal propulsion device mid flight. It's brain dead design and speaks to the overall quality of thought that was put into the product from top to bottom.
As an else-worlds animated movie it’d be totally fine… I watched all the cutscenes and enjoyed it from that perspective.. but I’ll never buy this game…. Not unless it becomes available offline and is like $5 ….. on the other hand…. A Justice League game would’ve been a preorder…😂
Killing these guys with bullets from any gun is pathetic and just incomprehensible. It's all a mess. The people clearly didnt care and the publishers are borderline evil.
WB's greed is going to eff up all their frachises. First MK1 getting hamstrung by their egregious monetization and now they torpedoed what could have been a great game from Rocksteady by having them make this soulless piece of crap.
This review is a perfect summation of the game!!! Well done, it's not the live service that's the issue it's everything else from boss battles, missions and repetition ❤
Because majority of people are enjoying the game as a Suicide Squad game and not hating it because it's not Arkham Metropolis. It does what it sought to do well, the problem is the vocal minority didn't want that. I went in not expecting much and have thoroughly enjoyed playing it with my friends. It was a nice change of pace from always playing the heroes and though the heroes may go out in less than preferred ways, the overall story in regards to the team themselves and how they grew throughout the experience together was nice. And with the free content expanding the story through seasons delving into the multiverse, the story is probably only halfway done. In which case they will likely bring back multiverse versions of those heroes which may replace the ones that would have been a part of the arkhamverse and potentially lead the way for a new Batman with a new VA without just suddenly replacing the GOAT himself.
@Chris-gw2xg Moreso that does seem to be the case, but it's not about playing it. They don't need to play it to dislike it. It dismantled what they personally loved about a franchise it branches off of. Which, I also love, but was still able to enjoy the game because.... it's not that serious. It's a game, it's a story, everything isn't going to evolve or go the way you want it. The story isn't tailored to the individual, it's an open narrative that grows by the games that are tied to it. The problem isn't that the game or the story is bad, the problem is that people allowed themselves to become so invested into something so insignificant that it has lead to death threats to members of rocksteady and toxic hate campaigns about a game, that by most metrics is above average. It's a fun game with, with a fun twisted story, that doesn't invent the wheel and hinges it's bets on what they can bring to the table long-term with a decent foundation. So far, it does everything well, and lives or dies on its execution moving forward. It's nowhere near as bad as those laying on it with their hearts on their sleeves make it seem, and it's not the GOTY people are overhyping it do be. I'd say in it's current state it would be about a 7/10, putting aside any bias that I have about personal preferences and that's a perfectly fine score for what it is.
It’s like rocksteady had a hand in one scene and it’s the Superman scene when he appears after the squad kills Batman, utter the words “ the worlds finest defeated by this “ that’s how I knew even rocksteady knew better. Its WB
Rocksteady has delivered what WB asked for as best as it could have been done. Hopefully WB will learn from this debacle and allow Rocksteady to continue creating great games, instead of forcing them to follow trends.
Glad I didn't buy this trash game. But what decided it for me was that SBI was involved in the writing and that goes for any game they will be manipulate to suit their apolitical agenda.
This could have been a LOT LOT LOT better.... sadly, i ghess there is big disconection develepers and players in right now age have been for a while. All because of money and deafness to do a right game and passion.
I give credit where its due.....The cutscenes, motion capture, facial animations, and viice acying are All *Top Notch* As for everything else, its typical live service shenanigans 😩
i am not a hater just saying what i see The Last of us part2 Abby Killed Joel like a Cockroach, Suicide Squad Harley Quin killed Batman like a Mosqueto. 😆😆😆😆
Yeah.. with the massive player numbers on steam... currently over 6k players ingame.. WB is never ever cancelling this massive success of a "pay to enter" store of microtransactions..
It'll drop over time. The same thing happened to the Avengers game. Curiosity will eventually lead to reality for some of those players, where they realize they've wasted their time for an endgame that may never come or is severely underwhelming.
Feel like this game would of done better as a risk of rain/returnal inspired co op rogue like Gameplay wise As a rogue like now remove all the filler missions and focus on the main stuff so it’s faster paced to fit the format Remove looter shooter and rpg mechanics and add risk of rain stackable item based progression (make the items toyman toys) 1 weapon, melee, explosive and traversal abilities that’s exclusive to each character and makes sense to them E.g captain boomerang just has the boomstick as weapon (shotgun), boomerangs as melee, explosive boomerang as grenade and his speed force gauntlet as traversal Use nemesis system to make each run feel different with the league boss fights (explain lex 2 has put them in time loop but Brainiac is aware of the time loop and makes alterations every time you die) - time loop not only helps explain the rogue like gameplay but also makes it feel more like an actual SUICIDE squad game where it’s actually canon that youse keep dying trying to complete this mission Make brainiacs invasion bigger scale so we can fight on 6 sub maps based on each boss instead of just one big metropolis map E.g section of Metropolis, section of Gotham, section of central city etc Story wise: wonder woman’s role should of been completely swapped with batman giving this is in the Arkham verse. They could of actually just made it so Batman isn’t on the league but has come out of hiding in order to stop them Just Replace deadshot with bloodsport as the whole two deadshot thing is just stupid for the sake of them clearly wanting to have a more diverse cast and deadshot being white in the canon originally Twist at the end that the justice league we kill are clones made by brainiac not the real league to explain the inconsistencies of flash finger reappearing, lanterns ring not working properly after death and superman not dying to kryptonite. Also gives us the the objective for dlc to now to save the original league members who are actually just captured Finally dlc 1 joker should be jokster from the crime syndicate universe, makes more sense then why he’s more of a fighter and equipped to help against a corrupt league
If it's between two mid games suicide squad or skull and bones. I'd rather play a pirate ship battle game i'm glad I didn't purchase the suicide squad game.🥂😎
I’m currently playing resident evil 3 nemesis on my GameCube and I’m having more fun on my retro console than I would have playing suicide squad: rocksteady killed their reputation.
I wouldn’t have mind so much if they specialized the characters abilities or fighting styles a bit more to make them unique. Or I don’t know, maybe adding some actual metas to the team that’s supposed to take down the strongest team on earth. It’s a comic book video game, lemme use super powers and goofy gimmicks as the MAIN weapons, not using 4 dudes with guys when you literally have a guy who’s whole thing is SHOOTING GUNS. It makes him fell less special. Captain Boomerang’s son Owen has short burst super speed, there is no reason why he couldn’t be introduced. Daniel West Reverse Flash he has bad knees so he can run top speed for long, Jog another short burst speedster, Burst another short range. MIND YOU Owen, Daniel, Jog, and Burst have all been members of the Suicide Squad just in the last 10 years alone. Maybe not Owen but the others have. Add DeathStroke or instead (I heard he’s coming in DLC so hopefully they add more CQC) to be close range melee type with gadgets like Batman. Shoot even Azerel. For another Tank Grundy, Croc, Parasite, Orca, METALLO Deadshot should be THE gun dude. Give him a combo system similar to Anthem, use different guns with different Ammo types or grenades that can ignite to cause some type of special effect damage. Others to fit that role Peacemaker DC’s biggest comic name in TV and from the movies atm that most people know from the SS brand. Bloodsport, Merlyn, KGBeast, Red Hood.
What a sad fall from grace for Rocksteady. They let CEO greed push a battlepass microtransaction with Sweet Baby Inc horrible story that no one wanted.
Doesn't matter what this "Rocksteady" says in the end we're the fans and they live from us so we decide if it's cannon or not and I vote for Not cannon
Nope !!! I did not. Heroes are heroes for a reason, and we love heroes. This rewrite of history that “ackchyually Villains are misunderstood” is trash & needs to end.
I'm pretty basic. I like simple gameplay loops as long as the gameplay is "premium." I love mwz even though it's the same thing over and over but it's the rng element that keeps me playing 3 hours every day. I'll give it a try 💯💯
For the record, that is completely warranted. Never let anyone tell you what you can and can't enjoy based on what the current trend is. Personally, I will never play this game because I hate what they did with it. But if you think you can enjoy it, you really should play it. Who cares what score it gets, who cares what people think. What matters is whether you have fun or not. Everyone else can figure it out for themselves.
if yall are still crying or still being upset over the game just stop being so negative yes games have there own flaws but yall really need to stop hating on this game it is already out need to give it a rest already and if all of you do not like this just do not play it or buy it heck stop watching youtube videos on it and just move on already it is getting way to old for the "hate bandwagon" life is way to short to be complaining about a game over and over again just move on and play other games
I have been playing this game a ton and can’t understand the hate it is getting. It is truly baffling to me. Also “suspension of belief” isn’t a thing…reviewer says it near the end as if it means something. I assume he intended to say “dis-belief” but when a critic can’t use correct grammar or language, their “critique” loses some of its validity in my eyes.
for everyone here. If the game is a 5/10, that means it is barely acceptable to put a price on it, nevermind a 70€/70$ one. 5/10 is the bare minimum that you *have* to expect from an indigame with very low budget and often a skill at the same level. 5/10 is not acceptable from a AAA dev. If a AAA dev put a less than 8/10 game it's, more often than not, not worth the pricetag it has. Especially when people in their garage can do better than a lot of AAA game nowadays. There is no excuses for a 5/10 game when you have the financial power of a big studio.
I might try this game if its 5 bucks or something down the road, and see what's all the fuss is about :P If the servers are still online, Because apparently its an always Online game.
With all the backlash it won't last long. They had more than enough time to have fixed it from last year but this got released and wasn't even tested forcing Rocksteady to shut it down after going online with it? Also this was Kevin Conroy's last appearance of our beloved Batman which will sadly will be talked about for years to come. 😢
its a paint by numbers corpo pushed live service semi serviceable game that adds nothing to make it unique. shareholders heard the words live service and money. thats all and this was the result.
Soo quick question... is this right after injustice 2 because remember at the end superman and batman did turn evil or is we still going to get injustice 3 and how they killed batman while i thought he had died in gotham knights this make no sense at all and with the Arkham Knight storyline
DC’s obsession with Harley Quinn has ruined their brand so many damn times, that not even Mark Hamill’s Joker could deliver a punchline.

If you did want to have it connected to the Arkhamverse, they should have either made a sequel to Arkham Knight or make a new game entirely based on another DC character i.e Green Lantern.
Suicide Squad gets an F for taking the fun out of comic book games.
F for fuck this game...
It also gets a W!
...Not for win,for wokeness!😡

Yeah maybe a justice league game or maybe a teen titans game that would be better
ARE you gonna do a video on your review about the game
@@ieuanrichards8840 indeed and honestly nothing would've made me happier but to see a Justice league game in my opinion.
@TevyaSmolka maybe a teen titans game as well
@@ieuanrichards8840 I will be reviewing this game soon when I pick it up eventually
It would have been better if it weren’t set in the arkham universe
It would still fail
Better than Avengers? I've played both and by no means was Avengers a great game but what it got right was the heroes. When you played Thor you played a lot different than if you were Black Widow or Ironman or Cap. Ontop of that Avengers even had team up takedowns since you know its a coop game? Suicide Squad has none of this. Besides their traversal styles all 4 of them play pretty identical. Shoot shoot, and shoot some more.
I will give Gotham Knights a chance
Me and the wife played it. She started it and I’d avoided it despite it being free for weeks, due to the bad reviews. Actually ended up really enjoying it. Got a little grindy at the end, but was overall enjoyable, and I’m pretty picky with what I start.
How in the hell is this at 85 percent positive on Steam? Something smells fishy.
And to think they shelved a Damian Wayne game for this pile of shit.
“It’s better than Redfall.”
Watching a wad of spit drip down a wall is better than Redfall. The bar is really low for this abomination 😂
Indie games are better, AAA games are trash anymore. That corporate greed is getting in the way of creativity, and those fat cats don't care.
The score is 5
Should've been a 3 for destroying the arkham universe
Out of 5 that’s amazing! ………..no wait out of 10, oh…of 10……oh dear
5 Stars!? Wow really? I guess I'll go pick it up after all.
Thanks for spoiling the review, I won't need to watch their video now 😂
Thank you so much 😊😊😊
Wb is 5 years too late to jump on the live service bandwagon but also this game wouldve sold so much better if they focused on better gameplay and a more believable story in a well crafted game like guardians did. This games a one and done
10:33 The synergies sound interesting but if the base game is boring as hell then it seems futile 😅
Can we call it a disappointment if we knew it was gonna be terrible when they announced it?
Just by watching this.. I feel like I've done it all already.
They want £100 for a 5 /10 game that’s only 10 hours long that’s £10 per hour
This gonna be dead before the end of the year and the games that got compared at the end pretty much is that final nail in the coffin. And thats just sad, what a fall from grace.😔

This shitshow is NOT the rocksteady we have come to know and love. THIS game is a WB table of investors cash grab dumpster fire….so sad
Gamers truly are easily entertained anymore. I get liking something and enjoying it because we all aren't the same. But if this is all you can manage to slap together after 9 years you deserve every ounce of criticism you take. Nine years and the only thing worth experiencing is the campaign which is less than 10 hours. I had a decent time with the campaign, but I am glad that steam gave me a refund. I hope that Rocksteady continues to add content but I don't know if that will even save this game.
So it's basically the division with a dc paint scheme
I purely just LOVED Division 2
Please don’t compare this 💩 to the division 1 or 2 those games are way better.
Far worse.
To think they tried to release this game before and with all the backlash had to go back to the drawing board to still release an unfinished online only game today? Sad that this was Kevin Conroy's last role as Batman yet all Rocksteady managed to do is ruin his legacy. Do not buy this game people it'll eventually be scrapped just like all other online only games....
This game feels like work. Grind grind grind 😒
Lex Luthor hates toxic masculinity in this game. They deserve all the smoke 😂
I've come to the realization that Harley Quinn has become the DC equivalent of Captain Marvel. A female character who had a certain amount of popularity rebuilt to fit a more "modern audience" approach and then shoved into peoples' faces that it will become popular.
And failing repeatedly.
I can't be disappointed in something I didn't believe in to begin with lol. It does appear less shitty than I thought though. Certainly a pass nonetheless.
Suicide squad, better than Avengers and Redfall.
What a ringing endorsement.
I'm having fun and I am playing solo, I understand the hate, but the blow out of it is ridiculous
Come back after a week or a month and let us know
@@StrongArmEntertainment im giving it a month at least to be fair, at least until the first season
In essence, Avengers 2.0: Suicide Squad Edition. Decent combat, decent story, garbage gaas attempt.
What a shame. You'd think they would have learned from the mistakes of Avengers. Instead they decided to double down on all the shitty aspects everyone hated about that game, and slap a DC skin on it. I wasn't confident about this game to begin with, but I expected better from Rocksteady.
Harleys Quinns grapple seems silly, no realistic explanation for how she can grapple thin air?
She uses a drone that she attaches the grapple gun to
@@elliott1996jsrStill don't make sense that she killed Batman? Got to be the worst story telling in a game I've ever seen.
@@CAPCOM784She did what???
@@elliott1996jsr that is still an amazingly nonsensical way to travel... In this universe, the engineers have the technology to build drones with enough thrust to carry a human, but they couldn't design a harness to just directly fly with it? Instead this design requires the user to repeatedly shoot a grappling hook to a moving target to fly? It's just stupid. Just hook the grapple onto it and just fly using the drone. It's obvious they wanted to rip off the spider man swinging movement aesthetics. But, spiderman swings through the air because he is latching onto fixed objects to propel himself forward. She is connecting and disconnecting to a literal propulsion device mid flight. It's brain dead design and speaks to the overall quality of thought that was put into the product from top to bottom.
@@LydellG4Harley shot Batman in the face and killed him and just accepted it like a slaughtered lamb. This game bad
This could have been an excellent animated movie.
As an else-worlds animated movie it’d be totally fine… I watched all the cutscenes and enjoyed it from that perspective.. but I’ll never buy this game…. Not unless it becomes available offline and is like $5 ….. on the other hand…. A Justice League game would’ve been a preorder…😂
Something about Batman’s death in this that just doesn’t sit well with me…
Killing these guys with bullets from any gun is pathetic and just incomprehensible. It's all a mess. The people clearly didnt care and the publishers are borderline evil.
WB's greed is going to eff up all their frachises. First MK1 getting hamstrung by their egregious monetization and now they torpedoed what could have been a great game from Rocksteady by having them make this soulless piece of crap.
WB becoming the new EA?
This review is a perfect summation of the game!!! Well done, it's not the live service that's the issue it's everything else from boss battles, missions and repetition ❤
Can't believe this game's reviews on steam are "very positive"
Because majority of people are enjoying the game as a Suicide Squad game and not hating it because it's not Arkham Metropolis.
It does what it sought to do well, the problem is the vocal minority didn't want that.
I went in not expecting much and have thoroughly enjoyed playing it with my friends.
It was a nice change of pace from always playing the heroes and though the heroes may go out in less than preferred ways, the overall story in regards to the team themselves and how they grew throughout the experience together was nice. And with the free content expanding the story through seasons delving into the multiverse, the story is probably only halfway done. In which case they will likely bring back multiverse versions of those heroes which may replace the ones that would have been a part of the arkhamverse and potentially lead the way for a new Batman with a new VA without just suddenly replacing the GOAT himself.
I mean the people hating on the game are the ones who didn‘t even play it.
@Chris-gw2xg Moreso that does seem to be the case, but it's not about playing it. They don't need to play it to dislike it. It dismantled what they personally loved about a franchise it branches off of. Which, I also love, but was still able to enjoy the game because.... it's not that serious. It's a game, it's a story, everything isn't going to evolve or go the way you want it. The story isn't tailored to the individual, it's an open narrative that grows by the games that are tied to it. The problem isn't that the game or the story is bad, the problem is that people allowed themselves to become so invested into something so insignificant that it has lead to death threats to members of rocksteady and toxic hate campaigns about a game, that by most metrics is above average. It's a fun game with, with a fun twisted story, that doesn't invent the wheel and hinges it's bets on what they can bring to the table long-term with a decent foundation. So far, it does everything well, and lives or dies on its execution moving forward.
It's nowhere near as bad as those laying on it with their hearts on their sleeves make it seem, and it's not the GOTY people are overhyping it do be.
I'd say in it's current state it would be about a 7/10, putting aside any bias that I have about personal preferences and that's a perfectly fine score for what it is.
@@Chris-gw2xgThat's not true UA-camrs are giving it bad scores so how are they not playing it?
They ruined Kevin Conroys legacy as Batman….
It’s like rocksteady had a hand in one scene and it’s the Superman scene when he appears after the squad kills Batman, utter the words “ the worlds finest defeated by this “ that’s how I knew even rocksteady knew better. Its WB
Saw this coming miiilllles away
Rocksteady has delivered what WB asked for as best as it could have been done. Hopefully WB will learn from this debacle and allow Rocksteady to continue creating great games, instead of forcing them to follow trends.
Glad I didn't buy this trash game. But what decided it for me was that SBI was involved in the writing and that goes for any game they will be manipulate to suit their apolitical agenda.
This could have been a LOT LOT LOT better.... sadly, i ghess there is big disconection develepers and players in right now age have been for a while.
All because of money and deafness to do a right game and passion.
i hope the modder can swap the suicide squad with justice league. since everyone is deadshot, yeah i wanna play batman with gun
I give credit where its due.....The cutscenes, motion capture, facial animations, and viice acying are All *Top Notch*
As for everything else, its typical live service shenanigans 😩
A wonder woman game would be so awesome
That is happening
i am not a hater just saying what i see The Last of us part2 Abby Killed Joel like a Cockroach, Suicide Squad Harley Quin killed Batman like a Mosqueto. 😆😆😆😆
TLOU 2 was goty and received amazing scores, terrible comparison.
@@twall4381 Honestly Larry Fink and his and Blackrock''s EGS shit is gonna create so much antisemitism
Yeah.. with the massive player numbers on steam... currently over 6k players ingame.. WB is never ever cancelling this massive success of a "pay to enter" store of microtransactions..
It'll drop over time. The same thing happened to the Avengers game. Curiosity will eventually lead to reality for some of those players, where they realize they've wasted their time for an endgame that may never come or is severely underwhelming.
That’s not a lot tbh
I'm a huge DC fan, I played the game and refunded. Live service has completely fkd this title as there are so many elements missing.
Going from spiderman 2 to this was painful. This is like a poor mans avengers which isnt a compliment.
Feel like this game would of done better as a risk of rain/returnal inspired co op rogue like
Gameplay wise
As a rogue like now remove all the filler missions and focus on the main stuff so it’s faster paced to fit the format
Remove looter shooter and rpg mechanics and add risk of rain stackable item based progression (make the items toyman toys)
1 weapon, melee, explosive and traversal abilities that’s exclusive to each character and makes sense to them E.g captain boomerang just has the boomstick as weapon (shotgun), boomerangs as melee, explosive boomerang as grenade and his speed force gauntlet as traversal
Use nemesis system to make each run feel different with the league boss fights (explain lex 2 has put them in time loop but Brainiac is aware of the time loop and makes alterations every time you die) - time loop not only helps explain the rogue like gameplay but also makes it feel more like an actual SUICIDE squad game where it’s actually canon that youse keep dying trying to complete this mission
Make brainiacs invasion bigger scale so we can fight on 6 sub maps based on each boss instead of just one big metropolis map E.g section of Metropolis, section of Gotham, section of central city etc
Story wise:
wonder woman’s role should of been completely swapped with batman giving this is in the Arkham verse. They could of actually just made it so Batman isn’t on the league but has come out of hiding in order to stop them
Just Replace deadshot with bloodsport as the whole two deadshot thing is just stupid for the sake of them clearly wanting to have a more diverse cast and deadshot being white in the canon originally
Twist at the end that the justice league we kill are clones made by brainiac not the real league to explain the inconsistencies of flash finger reappearing, lanterns ring not working properly after death and superman not dying to kryptonite. Also gives us the the objective for dlc to now to save the original league members who are actually just captured
Finally dlc 1 joker should be jokster from the crime syndicate universe, makes more sense then why he’s more of a fighter and equipped to help against a corrupt league
The game was average at best, certainly not worth the $70 price tag.
This game’s best accomplishments is making everyone go back to play Batman Arkham city lol..
This games story makes absolutely no sense, endless plot holes.
That purposeful walk you showed, it looked good. Gotta give them that
If it's between two mid games suicide squad or skull and bones. I'd rather play a pirate ship battle game i'm glad I didn't purchase the suicide squad game.🥂😎
Just wait for a superior game in march, m8. Dragons dogma 2
Dc stop trying to make Harley Quinn a thing she isn’t she is a c tier side kick to the joker
This game really took a shit ton of advice from mobile gameing. Like to the point this game is a whole ass mobile game on a system.
I’m currently playing resident evil 3 nemesis on my GameCube and I’m having more fun on my retro console than I would have playing suicide squad: rocksteady killed their reputation.
Batman got whacked by communists
Even though the game does not seem good, it has probably already made the publishers millions because of all the idiots who pre ordered it.
The second you mentioned Sunset Overdrive, all I could think was "damn, why wasn't this more like Sunset Overdrive???"
I wouldn’t have mind so much if they specialized the characters abilities or fighting styles a bit more to make them unique. Or I don’t know, maybe adding some actual metas to the team that’s supposed to take down the strongest team on earth.
It’s a comic book video game, lemme use super powers and goofy gimmicks as the MAIN weapons, not using 4 dudes with guys when you literally have a guy who’s whole thing is SHOOTING GUNS. It makes him fell less special.
Captain Boomerang’s son Owen has short burst super speed, there is no reason why he couldn’t be introduced. Daniel West Reverse Flash he has bad knees so he can run top speed for long, Jog another short burst speedster, Burst another short range. MIND YOU Owen, Daniel, Jog, and Burst have all been members of the Suicide Squad just in the last 10 years alone. Maybe not Owen but the others have.
Add DeathStroke or instead (I heard he’s coming in DLC so hopefully they add more CQC) to be close range melee type with gadgets like Batman. Shoot even Azerel.
For another Tank Grundy, Croc, Parasite, Orca, METALLO
Deadshot should be THE gun dude. Give him a combo system similar to Anthem, use different guns with different Ammo types or grenades that can ignite to cause some type of special effect damage. Others to fit that role Peacemaker DC’s biggest comic name in TV and from the movies atm that most people know from the SS brand. Bloodsport, Merlyn, KGBeast, Red Hood.
This Game Should have been Called.... Justice League: Kill the Suicide Squad
Or better yet they should have made a justice league vs teen titans game at least they wouldn't kill the justice league while under brainiac control
What a sad fall from grace for Rocksteady. They let CEO greed push a battlepass microtransaction with Sweet Baby Inc horrible story that no one wanted.
That talking back and fourth is a rocksteadt staple. What were you expecting?
Man i almost bought this game. As someone who bought Anthem and Avengers day 1, so glad I skipped this one
Doesn't matter what this "Rocksteady" says in the end we're the fans and they live from us so we decide if it's cannon or not and I vote for Not cannon
rocksteady what happened
Does anyone actually wanna see the flash get pissed on?
Nope !!! I did not. Heroes are heroes for a reason, and we love heroes. This rewrite of history that “ackchyually Villains are misunderstood” is trash & needs to end.
I'm pretty basic. I like simple gameplay loops as long as the gameplay is "premium." I love mwz even though it's the same thing over and over but it's the rng element that keeps me playing 3 hours every day. I'll give it a try 💯💯
For the record, that is completely warranted. Never let anyone tell you what you can and can't enjoy based on what the current trend is. Personally, I will never play this game because I hate what they did with it. But if you think you can enjoy it, you really should play it. Who cares what score it gets, who cares what people think. What matters is whether you have fun or not. Everyone else can figure it out for themselves.
This gameplay is everything but “premium ”, I played the closed beta months ago on PS5 and was a F piece of sheet.
if yall are still crying or still being upset over the game just stop being so negative yes games have there own flaws but yall really need to stop hating on this game it is already out need to give it a rest already and if all of you do not like this just do not play it or buy it heck stop watching youtube videos on it and just move on already it is getting way to old for the "hate bandwagon" life is way to short to be complaining about a game over and over again just move on and play other games
This'll be £10 in the bargin bin in 2 weeks
this game give me strong guardians of the galaxy vibe, its not rocksteady games anymore, they ruined batman arkham series lol
Yeah the reason Aquaman and the others you mentioned aren't in this game are cause they are for seasons and expansions if it makes it that far.
I have been playing this game a ton and can’t understand the hate it is getting. It is truly baffling to me.
Also “suspension of belief” isn’t a thing…reviewer says it near the end as if it means something. I assume he intended to say “dis-belief” but when a critic can’t use correct grammar or language, their “critique” loses some of its validity in my eyes.
Remember Earth Worm Jiim. That was fun. Member berries mmmm….
for everyone here. If the game is a 5/10, that means it is barely acceptable to put a price on it, nevermind a 70€/70$ one.
5/10 is the bare minimum that you *have* to expect from an indigame with very low budget and often a skill at the same level. 5/10 is not acceptable from a AAA dev. If a AAA dev put a less than 8/10 game it's, more often than not, not worth the pricetag it has. Especially when people in their garage can do better than a lot of AAA game nowadays. There is no excuses for a 5/10 game when you have the financial power of a big studio.
Lets thank WB just ruining and are just greedy. Why the OG devs left and now starting their own studio
I might try this game if its 5 bucks or something down the road, and see what's all the fuss is about :P
If the servers are still online, Because apparently its an always Online game.
With all the backlash it won't last long. They had more than enough time to have fixed it from last year but this got released and wasn't even tested forcing Rocksteady to shut it down after going online with it? Also this was Kevin Conroy's last appearance of our beloved Batman which will sadly will be talked about for years to come. 😢
its a paint by numbers corpo pushed live service semi serviceable game that adds nothing to make it unique. shareholders heard the words live service and money. thats all and this was the result.
Soo quick question... is this right after injustice 2 because remember at the end superman and batman did turn evil or is we still going to get injustice 3 and how they killed batman while i thought he had died in gotham knights this make no sense at all and with the Arkham Knight storyline
gotham knights is a different timeline
Not enough customization for only 4 characters and I think the characters you can play are not unique enough
