I think Rocksteady's secret genius plan was to create a game so bad that people would want to go back to Arkham Knight. That's the only reason I can find for the existence of the suicide squad game
Same here. I had a blast with that thing. Driving around pursuing criminals who would completely lose it (I mean, you know you're about to have a bad night when freaking Batman is coming at you at full speed IN A TANK) after spotting you was awesome.
yeah, i don't agree that the roads are narrow, i mean they are but you can blast thru almost everything with the batmobile and make a way on your own, it is awasome
I would save all the side missions until the end on Knightmare mode so I could cruise around Gotham in any batmobile. It essentially a Batman simulator at that point and a childhood dream
Same here. I understand that the game was initialy unplayable on pc, but I never understood any other hate it got. In my eyes it's still one of the the best games ever made and a pinnacle of game design, even by today's standards.
@wildeyshere_paulkersey853 it always confuses me when people say this, why is city better than Knight? I find myself unable to explore arkham city to the depths i could explore gotham, especially with the traversal and how slow it is. Does the side content just like blow it out of the water? What is it that makes Arkham City so much better than arkham knight
@@beauregardheer Story is better, main villain and side villains are much better. Doesn't focus and take away from boss battles and gameplay with the batmobile. And performance on all platforms were better. And the step up from Asylum to City was far bigger than City to Knight.
@@wildeyshere_paulkersey853knight is a much better game to play after the story is over tbh. More maps/challenges, characters/costumes to play with, ways to play the game, and the city is much easier to traverse and mess around in and obviously the game just runs/looks better on console than city does.
"You will never convince me" lol pathetic. Do some research, the creative lead on rock steady sefton hill and many other founding members left during suicide squads development. They obv seen the writing on the wall, realized WB was taking away reigns to jump on the micro transaction bandwagon, so they all jumped ship
@viewaskew7741 funny how people that say "do some research" usually don't actually do any research. The studio heads you're talking about left at the end of 2022, which was after the game was originally finished and had its first delay. So it's not like they left after a year or two and the game changed drastically. They lead the team and it's development for 95% of the process.
@@jradk9614Yeah and while naturally in game development you shed staff and gain new staff for every new project, the team was mostly the same for the majority of this projects dev time. The studio heads leaving was not a good sign however, and there was definitely some creative friction internally.
@@jradk9614The telltale sign of there being problems internally is how short the game is. Sure there is a slight chance that Rocksteady just wanted to make a shorter game, but chances are that due to the live service nature of the game and it being triple aaa, the game was probably intended to be much longer which means a much longer story as well. If that’s true then it’s safe to say that resources were mismanaged and/or major reworks to the games story and structure were made in the last few years of development.
Woah holy crap guys. This is what gave CDPR the thought to make Johnny Silverhand the way he was in Cyberpunk. It's almost a one to one in terms of the cerebral presentation of Joker and Silverhand popping up out of nowhere.
i love how Johnny being a set of data lets him just zip in and out of sight at any time. with the Joker he only ever disappears when the camera isnt on him which isnt nearly as fun.
I'd say it was more like Tales from the borderlands really, the same thing happens but it's a "chip" with a corpo (Handsome Jack) instead of a terrorist anti-corporations. And in both games the chip's trying to kill the protagonist but in different ways
@@_____Astral_____Ehh I think both make sense though, Johnny is inserted tech in your brain, so the poppin in and out makes more sense, with the joker he’s a hallucination so looking at him keeping him there, and him going away when you take your eyes off him, makes sense with the in game Lore from both games imo
“The designers were just willing to just let you get lost” That part is the truth. Hard to find h that in games. Because I like to get lost in a good game. It makes the immersion a surplus for me. We need that again
The joker who stops you as you are climbing up a building ledge scared the SHIT out of me. Manbat came close but that first one caught me off guard so bad.
Fights with batmobile are almost non-existent in relation to fighting on foot. Now playing these again Batmobile is def still the low point of Knight but it doesn't take anything away from it either.
I actually love the batTANK And the batMOBILE is getting more fun the better i get at driving it Im really liking this game so far and i usually don't even like batman
This probably your 5th arkham knight video looking back on the game Luke. I'm a terminal patient 🇮🇳🙏 The ending they gave arkham Batman in SS literally made me depressed for an entire week. It will never be canon to me. Arkham games, esp knight, hitman, witcher 3 were very close to my heart. The art direction, the seamless gameplay, the graphics, the gameplay heck even the batmobile, everything to my eyes in retrospect was perfection. We can always nitpick objectively where a game falls short but really in terms of "pushing it" Back in 2015, games like Arkham knight, ac unity etc have become timeless imo. Edit: if somehow I survive, would love to meet sefton hill one day.
I've been playing the whole Arkham collection now at Knight. So good... I have no words to describe my affection for the Arkham series... the passion overflows as you play it. I recommend getting the games at full price, it's just that good. So so good.
There is so much love put in them. I like walking around the world at ground level without gliding. Only grappling to edges of buildings to see what they look like. There is so much detail put into every single building in Arkham Knight. No two buildings are the same. Park Row, Miagani and Founders island are my favourite to explore. Miagani Island has the BTAS look of the giant downtown Gotham, Founders looks cool because you see the old city that was under the new and Park Row has decaying infrastructure and the city is rotting. Just amazing games.
I've also started playing the game again, downloaded a few graphics mods, making it even better and more beautiful, on 1440p it's like really holy shit how good this game looks like and plays pretty good
But no one's talking about how the prices for Arkham Knight's DLC were WAAYYY more reasonable: only a dollar or two for a skin, and like only 9 dollars for a story expansion, compared to SS:KTJL's skins which are like 20-30 dollars each! I think THAT is the main reason why we don't like the game's microtransactions. Also, the skins in Arkham Knight are iconic and classic, compared to the skins in SS:KTJL which are mostly just made-up and goofy. So overall, we pay LESS for BETTER skins in Arkham Knight, but pay way MORE for WORSE skins in SS:KTJL.
Idk know about that I remember Arkham Knight DLC being super expensive at the time lol. Im okay with paying a lot for suits cuz these are high quality models and a dollar or two was a steal but the story DLC was way too expensive. They are each like 5 mins long.

No way, I've been replaying arkham knight this week on pc, game looks incredible at max settings. Just logged off for a break after playing 7 hours today
Try it with "no counter icons" mod, fighting looks so much better while being harder. I'm replaying the whole Arkham series on hard with that mod and no upgrades to HP or armor :D Peak difficulty
@@TheRealBillix you don't need a mod, it's in NG+, if you don't plan on 100% the game then I guess sure the mod works for your first playthrough. I'm currently just having fun playing through Arkham Knight, about to do a side quest rn hold up
If I’m being honest I been having a lot of fun in suicide squad. I really love how each character has their own unique traversal and personalities. I also love the awesome boss rush of the Justice league. Although I would love to see a game with the same concept except we play as the Justice League.
Suicide Squad drove me to reinstall Arkham Knight about a day after release. I went back to Suicide Squad once since then and it hard crashed after 20 minutes. Think I'm going to finally focus on an Arkham Knight Platinum trophy.
As someone who first played the Arkham games on switch I do wish I could experience Arkham Knight in all its graphical glory with rain bouncing off the cape etc. However the game is so much more than how good the graphics are. And even with how bad the port is it’s still my favorite of the three.
I loved Batmobile it made my child hood dream of full batman experience come to life !!! I have no complaints I also played it on pc few months back and I enjoyed it again with peak graphics , this game should go down in the list of some of the greatest game and greatest art , graphics and mission design in the history
This game is PHENOMENAL! Started playing it again recently and I love it!… Riddle puzzles still suck tho that final “Puzzle” made me wanna enact violence…
The Avengers data comparison is a bit of a reach. That game came out during covid where everyone was stuck in the house. Suicide Squad is by no means perfect, but it could’ve easily gotten similar player numbers
I'm late to the video, but I'll mention this anyway. Cobra encounters can be completed a lot faster and much easier by using a LVL2 CPU virus on it. You can make them friendly. I don't think I've ever seen it happen, but I believe your Cobra can destroy the others outright. Sometimes the enemy Cobra will snap onto you from time to time, but you're completely safe otherwise
Iron Galaxy was also in charge of the PC port of Arkham Origins, the one that caused massive crashes and had lots of lots of bugs. I found out about that watching your Arkhamverse critique, my personal favourite 🦇❤
A big disappointment was the lack of NPC’s. We finally got Gotham, yet the residents were evacuated before the game starts. Sigh. No one remembers this?
Arkham Knight is soooo good! I played for the first time last year with Xbox Cloud. The cloud doesn't provide the best performance (not close) but even so I was so impressed! The game is soo good that I couldn't complain about the fair criticism people make. I just couldn't stop playing it. I couldn't sleep because I wanted to keep playing all night long. I'll never forget this experience and I'll never stop hyping up Batman Arkham Knight. So ahead of it's time... Gotham is beautiful! The sounds, the darkness, the way you can hear the enemies talk, the bat creature making those scary noises, the freedom to fly with Batman, the sound of the batmobile's engine... Perfect!
Suicide squad even made me appreciate gotham knights. Doing duel takedowns with friends and watching more unique animations makes that game better in itself. + it has stealth.
As much as I loved this game when i first played it i feel like i didn't truly appreciate the graphical marvel that it is, and obviously this is because through time we've had too many games that failed to set standards. Arkham Knight is so ahead of its time this time that I don't even think it needs a big fancy remaster, just a polish in textures, lighting, & richer colors. its also a game that can live without ray tracing cuz everything still look so damn good, It has by far the greatest ocean physics ive ever seen, on top of that there's so much impressive lense flares and well done reflective rain that its almost neck & neck with a Cyberpunk, a 9 year old game will never look this good.
Amazing video!!! I’ve always been a huge fan of Batman and I used to play the Lego Batman games when I was little. But I’ve never played Arkham Knight. I played Arkham City a little bit when I was younger but I never finished the game. Luke always makes awesome videos. 😁😁😎😎👏👏💯💯💯💜💜💜✨✨✨
I love batman Arkham knight, and can we agree we need Catwoman full game, her short gameplay in Arkham knight was amazing, her fighting style kindda sus and sexxy, shes unique
It is so true that Rocksteady had a lot of DLC with previous titles but I think most would agree that even though most of them are cosmetic, the game(s) were so good/fun that you wanted to buy them to show further support for the developers. This was true of a lot of older titles. Whether that money actually got to those responsible for actually making the great game(s) is debatable. To the gaming industries detriment there is now a majority in control who are (have been) abusing the good will of their customers for every cent to their name or preying on those with gambling addictions. As side tangent: I'd even go so far as to say the gaming industry has become a large proponent of youth developing gambling addiction. Things have absolutely gone off the rails within the gaming space and especially in the development/production of triple A titles and the publishers/studios responsible. Eventually things will course correct, sort of. Studios will close. People will lose their livelihoods. New studios will form, sometimes with a few of the old staff sometimes without, and make great games for a while. Then the cycle repeats. And every time the persons responsible for the studios downward spiral (sometimes a recurring villain!) will make bank and whisk themselves away on wings made of paper money, wearing crowns of platinum and gold inlaid with diamonds, wearing the finest silks like the absolute angels they are /s. ^Sadly the practice/cycle described isn't even original. It can be observed in several industries. Just a con of a higher level.
I recently bought the Arkham collection, since I only played Arkham Origins and the standard edition of Arkham Knight years ago, but I didn't play Asylum or City. I know weird, but I got the Collection for 15€ and man is it money well spent. Finished Asylum and City and now I started Arkham Knight last night. I intend to 100% all three games, so Riddler will drive me insane.
I loved batmobile in arkham knight and to this day I don't understand why people dislike it. final Deathstroke boss fight could be better without tanks and drones but I can't see any other reason. I'm car guy tho... maybe huge afterburner and tire scratching is doing things to me
First of all the reason why Arkham Knight didn’t put his men in the tanks was because he wanted to fight Batman at his past because of the people were in the tanks. He wouldn’t have thought had his best and he would’ve held back and you really think Arkham Batman wouldn’t develop like hacking device to disable the tank. One of the Batmobile abilities is to disabled tanks.
The rain getting flicked off the cape is only for that suit i think and doesn't happen to any other suit but i get your point and the game is on point except the cobra tanks
I remember playing this game and when the bat tank got smashed in the tunnel I felt relieved. Then they brought the spare bat tank in the next scene and then I said damn it.
i have played batman arkham knight to story completion like 6 times, and ive 240%ed the game on one save, and after all of that i can still say that i liked suicide squad, i didnt think that i would like it at all, and i wasnt going to play it before: back when it was supposed to release last year, but after playing that alpha i was hooked, and i dont even play looter shooters, ive done over 100 hours in ssktjl so far and im still liking the combat and im currently replaying the story with one of my friends, while i agree that it doesn't have a lot of attention to detail and "dynamic" events that arkham knight did, i dont think thats a common criticism for this type of game, a fairly linear 4 player co-op open world looter shooter. I can see why they made the game the way that they did and while some aspects may not work the way i want them to i understand why they are the way that they are.
I’ve recently been replaying the Arkham trilogy and Origins and I’ve never felt so betrayed by a video game company for even associating SSKTJL with the OG Batman games
I think Arkham knight has the best gameplay, maybe not the best story but i felt rocksteady mastered the fighting, graphics, etc. I think the Batmobile was a must but I do agree with the overuse of it for mission progress. This game aged well
My biggest gripe is how much the story elements depend on the base Batmobile design and the tank mode, which absolutely kills the replay value for the DLC Batmobiles.
One thing id like to remind is that iron galaxy isn’t entirely at fault for the state of the Arkham knight port. They were only given 7 working days to port the game. Idk what happened with TLOU though
I loved Arkham Knight. I just played it for the first time last week. I just HATE the rain. It's so distracting to me that I haven't picked it up since I played the first hour or so
The other disappointing nitpick "wishlist" item i wanted in AK is to fly the BatWing because its constantly delivering things but never used for anything else. I like this game and boot it up every once in while for the visuals, presentation and combat challenges.
Just started playing this about a week ago and im really liking it so far It really seems like a well made game overall I've never really played anything quite like it and at first it was pretty overwhelming, complicated, hard to control etc But once i got the hang of it after a few days it started getting way more fun It's definitely a bad azz game And im not even a batman fan btw
Currently replaying myself, due to the Battinson suit. But I'm kinda distracted by Tekken 8 and other games. Then again, I already have the Platinum, which should say something about how much I played and admire the game. Though, I do have a love/ hate for it tbh. But I think it's safe to say respect for the game has shot up since Rocksteady's latest release.
I just played through Arkham Knight and watched your 3 hour long review...its funny because innyour review you literally said a suicide squad game would be amazing
2 things: I still remember picking up Arkham Asylum and being so impressed, I couldn't understand - how is this a Batman game and... Actually great? Still baffles me. Also, I'm glad you said something about Ray-tracing. That tech has been an obsession of people this generation of consoles and I think it's seriously hampering development benchmarks and game performance. It's a technology that just isn't ready yet.
Suicide squad has good qualities. It's not better than any Arkham game but it's not the worst game I've ever played. Not even close actually. It's also not the best game ever. But in terms of how good it is compared to how much people are bashing it, it's not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. Would I recommend buying it full price? Absolutely not. Also Nick tech literally turned the graphics down on his suicide squad game. Mine doesn't look nearly as bad as that. So that is invalid
The batmobile is (debatably) a problem, sure. But every other aspect of the gameplay is so brilliant that it more than makes up for it. What would you rather play: a solid game with no clear “issues,” or a masterful game with one sore spot? I think the answer is pretty clear. This game isn’t just worth playing, it’s a masterpiece, batmobile and all.
I received a free copy of Arkham Knight with my brand new GTX970 when it came out, and I remember the absolute non-functioning state the game released in. Literally unplayable. I was so amazed by how awful it was I kept trying to play anyways. I clocked the game going at like 8 frames per minute at one point. It was crazy to see.
Thanks to the suicide squad game, I finally went back to Arkham Knight after 8 years and I am trying to do a full run (I think it's called the 240%) it's really fun at times. So thanks for that I guess rocksteady
I bought it later as a complete edition (in fact it was the last game I bought as a physical copy, and I needed Steam and 1/3 of the game was not on the discs and had to be downloaded anyway, so if the discs are just symbolic cause without the Steam account they are not useable and not the full game is on the discs why buying discs?) in in this edition all DLC stuff was included and it was optimized so I had a good time back in the day with the game - and yes they overused the Batmobile a little to much.
I actually really enjoyed thr bat tank just definitely was way over used, i think my biggest issue with it was the whole death stroke boss battle that felt disrespectful especially seeing what was done in orgins.
It doesn't help that every character in SSKJL is fugly as sin. Obviously done on purpose thanks Sweet Baby Inc. Also the worst elements of Arkham Knight are vastly superior to the best of SSKJL
I bought my lg Cx through magnolia. Got their warranty. Had an issue with my tv but magnolia doesn’t handle the repairs any more. Just geek squad. Thing is magnolia rep told me how much better their warranty was and basically will fix or repair no questions asked. But instead I got geek squad which suck. I feel ripped off
This game was really cool back then. even with its biggest flaw, the boss battles. Fighting against the Arkham Knight and Deathstroke in special. What a massive letdown
I think Rocksteady's secret genius plan was to create a game so bad that people would want to go back to Arkham Knight. That's the only reason I can find for the existence of the suicide squad game
Let the game finish before making a statement like that lol
Honestly... it's a decent conspiracy theory. Especially if their hands are tied and are being forced to make a game they don't want to make.
If only. The sad truth is they actually thought they were delivering something that tons of people would spend 100s of hours and dollars in.
@@RNTV let me cope 😭
@@frazer4737 😅 My apologies friend. Cope away
I like the Batmobile, and I think that the tank sections are fun. There I said it and I don't care who knows it.
Same. The Batmobile is Batman too

You will never convince me that the same team made Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad.
Because they didn’t. Rocksteady is all different members since Arkham Knight.

The one reason I'm dreading the replay of this game 😆
I even flinched with volume down 😂😂😂😂😂
I started playing AK after many years and the Man-bat jumpscare still got me.
Edit: forgot about the Joker jumpscare too...
This happened to me two days ago!
I dropped my remote and I’ve never done that gaming 😂
Best jumpscare ever
Its the only one i never saw coming and it really scared me
“The designers were just willing to just let you get lost”
That part is the truth. Hard to find h that in games. Because I like to get lost in a good game. It makes the immersion a surplus for me. We need that again
Arkham knight has aged very well. History has been kind to it. I love the game
Most importantly, Harlequinn’s buns were WAY BETTER sculpted in Arkham Knight 💀
The joker who stops you as you are climbing up a building ledge scared the SHIT out of me. Manbat came close but that first one caught me off guard so bad.

@2:00 anyone see those water physics off the cape? Smooth
Was about to comment this. Won’t lie it was cool, looks so sleek and accurate
When suicide squad released day one I bought this on sale instead
Luke a brave man throwing out "friend of the channel" again.
I knew the MAN-BAT jump scare was gonna happen 😂. I was paranoid the entire time while you were grappling
That damn MAN-Bat 😂😂😂
I played this game when i was 15 so you can imagine i nearly shat my pants when i got jump scared by the creature of the night 😂
The worst part with the Batmobile secxtions was when forced you to be stealthy in a tank 💀💀
No way, I've been replaying arkham knight this week on pc, game looks incredible at max settings. Just logged off for a break after playing 7 hours today
The Suicide Squad Kill The JL team is crying because you didn't spend 7 hours buying microtransactions in their game instead 😂
Try it with "no counter icons" mod, fighting looks so much better while being harder. I'm replaying the whole Arkham series on hard with that mod and no upgrades to HP or armor :D Peak difficulty
@@TheRealBillix NG+ doesn't have counter icons.
@@TheRealBillix you don't need a mod, it's in NG+, if you don't plan on 100% the game then I guess sure the mod works for your first playthrough. I'm currently just having fun playing through Arkham Knight, about to do a side quest rn hold up
@@GameoftheYear-fx4mq I totally intent on 100% it, didn’t realise the option was in NG+ but I prefer to keep them off anyways :D
People are way toxic harsh for this game. It has aged fairly well
I would call it a GOTY contender if it was released in 2023.
Lol it’s aged incredibly, it is Arkham gameplay absolutely perfected and visually it looks like it could’ve released last year.
Well it got a lot of hate due to its pc port. I played it at launch on pc and it was pretty bad and got delisted from steam.
Suicide Squad got me into replaying the challenge maps (I used to not get so invested into the challenges maps).
Arkham City had the best ones 😊
Arkham Knight still looks better than most new Games coming out today.
They have some flaws but all Arkham Games are freakin masterpieces.
Yeah it definitely looks great
If I’m being honest I been having a lot of fun in suicide squad. I really love how each character has their own unique traversal and personalities. I also love the awesome boss rush of the Justice league. Although I would love to see a game with the same concept except we play as the Justice League.
Suicide Squad drove me to reinstall Arkham Knight about a day after release. I went back to Suicide Squad once since then and it hard crashed after 20 minutes. Think I'm going to finally focus on an Arkham Knight Platinum trophy.
2:03 the water comes off his cape I never noticed that detail before playing the game
As someone who first played the Arkham games on switch I do wish I could experience Arkham Knight in all its graphical glory with rain bouncing off the cape etc. However the game is so much more than how good the graphics are. And even with how bad the port is it’s still my favorite of the three.
I loved Batmobile it made my child hood dream of full batman experience come to life !!! I have no complaints I also played it on pc few months back and I enjoyed it again with peak graphics , this game should go down in the list of some of the greatest game and greatest art , graphics and mission design in the history
This game is PHENOMENAL! Started playing it again recently and I love it!… Riddle puzzles still suck tho that final “Puzzle” made me wanna enact violence…
Batman arkham knight is the ultimate batman experience even with the batmobile.
The Avengers data comparison is a bit of a reach. That game came out during covid where everyone was stuck in the house. Suicide Squad is by no means perfect, but it could’ve easily gotten similar player numbers
I'm late to the video, but I'll mention this anyway. Cobra encounters can be completed a lot faster and much easier by using a LVL2 CPU virus on it. You can make them friendly. I don't think I've ever seen it happen, but I believe your Cobra can destroy the others outright. Sometimes the enemy Cobra will snap onto you from time to time, but you're completely safe otherwise
I liked the batmobile, I think it was a great addition
Iron Galaxy was also in charge of the PC port of Arkham Origins, the one that caused massive crashes and had lots of lots of bugs. I found out about that watching your Arkhamverse critique, my personal favourite 🦇❤
A big disappointment was the lack of NPC’s. We finally got Gotham, yet the residents were evacuated before the game starts. Sigh.
No one remembers this?
I hear what you saying but it fits the story though
They just trying to make it much more about the action is why
I went back to Jedi survivor and the Callisto protocol
Arkham Knight is soooo good! I played for the first time last year with Xbox Cloud. The cloud doesn't provide the best performance (not close) but even so I was so impressed! The game is soo good that I couldn't complain about the fair criticism people make. I just couldn't stop playing it. I couldn't sleep because I wanted to keep playing all night long. I'll never forget this experience and I'll never stop hyping up Batman Arkham Knight. So ahead of it's time... Gotham is beautiful! The sounds, the darkness, the way you can hear the enemies talk, the bat creature making those scary noises, the freedom to fly with Batman, the sound of the batmobile's engine... Perfect!
Suicide squad even made me appreciate gotham knights. Doing duel takedowns with friends and watching more unique animations makes that game better in itself. + it has stealth.
Arkham Knight holds up extremely well, it could have come out this year and still be just as impressive
Ghost of Tsushima did it beautifully !, yeah ,agree with the usage of Bat Tank , especially towards the ending ...that was frustrating
I started a new playthough on the ps4 version, and it still looks better than most modern games. 😂
Harlequens ass in that costume from Arkham Kniight says it alll haha
As much as I loved this game when i first played it i feel like i didn't truly appreciate the graphical marvel that it is, and obviously this is because through time we've had too many games that failed to set standards.
Arkham Knight is so ahead of its time this time that I don't even think it needs a big fancy remaster, just a polish in textures, lighting, & richer colors. its also a game that can live without ray tracing cuz everything still look so damn good, It has by far the greatest ocean physics ive ever seen, on top of that there's so much impressive lense flares and well done reflective rain that its almost neck & neck with a Cyberpunk, a 9 year old game will never look this good.
Hes milking the Suicide Squad hate
Amazing video!!! I’ve always been a huge fan of Batman and I used to play the Lego Batman games when I was little. But I’ve never played Arkham Knight. I played Arkham City a little bit when I was younger but I never finished the game. Luke always makes awesome videos. 😁😁😎😎👏👏💯💯💯💜💜💜✨✨✨
By the way you can easily disable the 90 frame cap by changing a txt
I love batman Arkham knight, and can we agree we need Catwoman full game, her short gameplay in Arkham knight was amazing, her fighting style kindda sus and sexxy, shes unique
Suicide squads world looks like Fortnite compared to Arkham Knights
It is so true that Rocksteady had a lot of DLC with previous titles but I think most would agree that even though most of them are cosmetic, the game(s) were so good/fun that you wanted to buy them to show further support for the developers. This was true of a lot of older titles. Whether that money actually got to those responsible for actually making the great game(s) is debatable. To the gaming industries detriment there is now a majority in control who are (have been) abusing the good will of their customers for every cent to their name or preying on those with gambling addictions. As side tangent: I'd even go so far as to say the gaming industry has become a large proponent of youth developing gambling addiction.
Things have absolutely gone off the rails within the gaming space and especially in the development/production of triple A titles and the publishers/studios responsible. Eventually things will course correct, sort of. Studios will close. People will lose their livelihoods. New studios will form, sometimes with a few of the old staff sometimes without, and make great games for a while. Then the cycle repeats. And every time the persons responsible for the studios downward spiral (sometimes a recurring villain!) will make bank and whisk themselves away on wings made of paper money, wearing crowns of platinum and gold inlaid with diamonds, wearing the finest silks like the absolute angels they are /s.
^Sadly the practice/cycle described isn't even original. It can be observed in several industries. Just a con of a higher level.
Arkham Knight's Batmobile:
"Stupid? Yes. Idiotic? Yes" - Mayor Adam West
I recently bought the Arkham collection, since I only played Arkham Origins and the standard edition of Arkham Knight years ago, but I didn't play Asylum or City. I know weird, but I got the Collection for 15€ and man is it money well spent. Finished Asylum and City and now I started Arkham Knight last night. I intend to 100% all three games, so Riddler will drive me insane.
I loved batmobile in arkham knight and to this day I don't understand why people dislike it. final Deathstroke boss fight could be better without tanks and drones but I can't see any other reason. I'm car guy tho... maybe huge afterburner and tire scratching is doing things to me
The bat tank was awesome. Haters gonna hate.
First of all the reason why Arkham Knight didn’t put his men in the tanks was because he wanted to fight Batman at his past because of the people were in the tanks. He wouldn’t have thought had his best and he would’ve held back and you really think Arkham Batman wouldn’t develop like hacking device to disable the tank. One of the Batmobile abilities is to disabled tanks.
The rain getting flicked off the cape is only for that suit i think and doesn't happen to any other suit but i get your point and the game is on point except the cobra tanks
Up until recently this game was so criminally underrated.
It was never underrated, just the very loud people on social media made more noise about the things they didnt like about it
I remember playing this game and when the bat tank got smashed in the tunnel I felt relieved. Then they brought the spare bat tank in the next scene and then I said damn it.
i have played batman arkham knight to story completion like 6 times, and ive 240%ed the game on one save, and after all of that i can still say that i liked suicide squad, i didnt think that i would like it at all, and i wasnt going to play it before: back when it was supposed to release last year, but after playing that alpha i was hooked, and i dont even play looter shooters, ive done over 100 hours in ssktjl so far and im still liking the combat and im currently replaying the story with one of my friends, while i agree that it doesn't have a lot of attention to detail and "dynamic" events that arkham knight did, i dont think thats a common criticism for this type of game, a fairly linear 4 player co-op open world looter shooter. I can see why they made the game the way that they did and while some aspects may not work the way i want them to i understand why they are the way that they are.
we definitely should have gotten a red hood game. his story line was never wrapped up and it would have been awesome
I’ve recently been replaying the Arkham trilogy and Origins and I’ve never felt so betrayed by a video game company for even associating SSKTJL with the OG Batman games
I think Arkham knight has the best gameplay, maybe not the best story but i felt rocksteady mastered the fighting, graphics, etc. I think the Batmobile was a must but I do agree with the overuse of it for mission progress. This game aged well
I’ve probably put in 100 hours in Arkham Knight, got all the Riddler trophies and never seen joker sit in the ferris wheel before lol
My biggest gripe is how much the story elements depend on the base Batmobile design and the tank mode, which absolutely kills the replay value for the DLC Batmobiles.
How exactly does it kill the replay value for the dlc batmobiles?
I don't understand
One thing id like to remind is that iron galaxy isn’t entirely at fault for the state of the Arkham knight port. They were only given 7 working days to port the game. Idk what happened with TLOU though
I loved Arkham Knight. I just played it for the first time last week. I just HATE the rain. It's so distracting to me that I haven't picked it up since I played the first hour or so
The other disappointing nitpick "wishlist" item i wanted in AK is to fly the BatWing because its constantly delivering things but never used for anything else. I like this game and boot it up every once in while for the visuals, presentation and combat challenges.
Got on steam for ~9€ the BATMAN ARKHAM TRILOGY😊 Cant wait to play it!
Just started playing this about a week ago and im really liking it so far
It really seems like a well made game overall
I've never really played anything quite like it and at first it was pretty overwhelming, complicated, hard to control etc
But once i got the hang of it after a few days it started getting way more fun
It's definitely a bad azz game
And im not even a batman fan btw
Believe it or not but that smoke tech is in tears of the kingdom which is running on nintendo switch. 😲
Currently replaying myself, due to the Battinson suit. But I'm kinda distracted by Tekken 8 and other games. Then again, I already have the Platinum, which should say something about how much I played and admire the game. Though, I do have a love/ hate for it tbh.
But I think it's safe to say respect for the game has shot up since Rocksteady's latest release.
I just played through Arkham Knight and watched your 3 hour long review...its funny because innyour review you literally said a suicide squad game would be amazing
I personally loved Arkham knight it was freaking fantastic in my opinion
Did I go back? They(all4 of them) are permanently installed. Saw your review of suïcide squaTT and happely went for a glide in Gotham once again.
2 things: I still remember picking up Arkham Asylum and being so impressed, I couldn't understand - how is this a Batman game and... Actually great? Still baffles me.
Also, I'm glad you said something about Ray-tracing. That tech has been an obsession of people this generation of consoles and I think it's seriously hampering development benchmarks and game performance. It's a technology that just isn't ready yet.
I think Spider-Man used it really well
@@inshal6420 Not saying it's not useful in some specific ways, but it is adding a lot of cost to development.
Suicide squad has good qualities. It's not better than any Arkham game but it's not the worst game I've ever played. Not even close actually. It's also not the best game ever. But in terms of how good it is compared to how much people are bashing it, it's not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. Would I recommend buying it full price? Absolutely not. Also Nick tech literally turned the graphics down on his suicide squad game. Mine doesn't look nearly as bad as that. So that is invalid
For a 2015 game, it holds up well, the graphics and gameplay.
The batmobile is (debatably) a problem, sure. But every other aspect of the gameplay is so brilliant that it more than makes up for it. What would you rather play: a solid game with no clear “issues,” or a masterful game with one sore spot? I think the answer is pretty clear. This game isn’t just worth playing, it’s a masterpiece, batmobile and all.
I received a free copy of Arkham Knight with my brand new GTX970 when it came out, and I remember the absolute non-functioning state the game released in. Literally unplayable. I was so amazed by how awful it was I kept trying to play anyways. I clocked the game going at like 8 frames per minute at one point. It was crazy to see.
Thanks to the suicide squad game, I finally went back to Arkham Knight after 8 years and I am trying to do a full run (I think it's called the 240%) it's really fun at times. So thanks for that I guess rocksteady
I bought it later as a complete edition (in fact it was the last game I bought as a physical copy, and I needed Steam and 1/3 of the game was not on the discs and had to be downloaded anyway, so if the discs are just symbolic cause without the Steam account they are not useable and not the full game is on the discs why buying discs?) in in this edition all DLC stuff was included and it was optimized so I had a good time back in the day with the game - and yes they overused the Batmobile a little to much.
I actually really enjoyed thr bat tank just definitely was way over used, i think my biggest issue with it was the whole death stroke boss battle that felt disrespectful especially seeing what was done in orgins.
It doesn't help that every character in SSKJL is fugly as sin. Obviously done on purpose thanks Sweet Baby Inc. Also the worst elements of Arkham Knight are vastly superior to the best of SSKJL
Never spent much time with the Arkham games…feel like I should give Knight a spin
I haven't played Arkham Knight and this video makes me want to play it
Do it it's awesome
And im not even a batman fan
I bought my lg Cx through magnolia. Got their warranty. Had an issue with my tv but magnolia doesn’t handle the repairs any more. Just geek squad. Thing is magnolia rep told me how much better their warranty was and basically will fix or repair no questions asked. But instead I got geek squad which suck. I feel ripped off
I’ve been playing Arkham knight for 9 years.
To this day Arkham Knight is the most graphically beautiful game I’ve ever played. Wth happened to Rocksteady.
This game was really cool back then. even with its biggest flaw, the boss battles. Fighting against the Arkham Knight and Deathstroke in special. What a massive letdown
AK is awesome on the PC now
Dos it still suffer from stutter? Mainly of the shader compilation variety?
@@George-um2vc I didn’t have any issues
@@keatonhanson43 every time i grapple to the sky my fps drops drastically any ways to fix?
I miss the ai random arguments or how they are going to beat Batman
