For those of you that were asking.. yes I uploaded this to second channel a couple of days ago. Decided that was a mistake, and to go ahead and upload here! 👍 Edit: I will actually not be doing the platinum on this one. I’ve suffered enough.
what are you talking about, this arkham universe ended with arkham knight, there is no squad game, and even if we pretend that this game was arkham its too different to give that title imo

Isn’t it funny how Harley Quinn lectures Batman on causing Mental and Emotional damage when she herself has caused the deaths of countless men, women and children.
it is funny. it baffles me ppl dont point that out. but i know why. 99% ppl who like the story, have 0 clue about comic books, movies, games and characters. they think harley quinn is a good woman , a hero bcuz they saw gunn's movie where quinn's degeneracy is toned down and she's more like a pop loli girl
Funny how most people bombing this game don't even have a copy! Every game cannot be a rerun of the Arkham series please. Suicide squad is a different version of metropolis
I am glad to tell you this. As a person who has played the Witcher 3, and is currently playing it again on PS5, I can tell you with great confidence that once you eventually play it this year, your faith in gaming will be restored again.
I hate the movement and general gameplay of witcher 3 so much that I can't just bring myself to really enjoy it. I bounced off of it like 5 times already. Maybe there will be a 6th try but holy god damn the gameplay is really bad.
The Witcher 3 is probably the most overrated game ever created, I've never been more bored in a game. After 2 hours of gameplay and being unable to refund it, it left me extremely disappointed.
Would’ve been better if instead Wonder Woman being not under Brainiac’s control, it was Bruce. He could put the suit back on and make a deal with waller’s TFX to take down the Justice League with his protocols against them. Would’ve been cool to fight with Batman
You still would have the problem of Arkham Night ending because it concoldences Batman his solo story but the Justice league changes it by making it a story about the team itself.
Fun fact The original developers( I don't know which department) of the Arkham series left prior to the creation of Suicide squad Kill the justice league so that means that this game sucks in narrative and Story is because Rocksteady is now mixed with experienced and inexperienced game developers and story developers.

Arkham Legacy: Bruce Wayne, After more than 5 years MIA, studying the Justice League, their backgrounds and weakness, a new threat comes to Earth. Brainiac uses a gas on Metropolis turning everyone into puppets, the Justice League included, and with them the whole planet is in danger. Bruce Wayne needs to get back to his old self and become vengeance in a last attempt to stop the Justice League, save the world and defeat Brainiac. This story will put Bruce Wayne back into the action as The Batman against the world greatest heroes, later old foes such as Harley Quinn, Boomerang, Deadshot, Penguin and other will join him in a fight for survival that will determine the survival of humanity, a fight that will be know years in the future as the Arkham Legacy. This could have been a way better story to tell and give a proper send off not just to Batman, Bruce Wayne but his incredible voice actor.
I love how they had to create a whole new form of mind control just to explain how it worked on Batman, Green Lantern, and Superman three characters that are known to be either immune to mind control or really fucking hard to mind control, pretty sure Poison Ivy, and Darkside are the some of the few Dc characters to actually hold the ability to do that, and I also love how the game literally breaks continuity several times like King Shark and Boomerang being alive

If I'm correct, it wasn't just WB Games that did this game, there was also some company called Sweet Baby Inc. It seems they have also worked on Alan Wake 2 and Spiderman 2 if I'm correct, and I'm weary of them. So just watch out for that company as well.
Ironic that Sweet Baby is there to ensure that a narrative isn’t tone deaf for “modern audiences” and yet… they had no idea who their actual audience was for this game. It’s also ironic that they’re a writers guild of sorts that’s all about diversity and inclusivity… yet are the most divisive group of people I’ve ever seen in the gaming industry. If you haven’t seen what’s happened just in the past month or so with their employees and what they’ve been saying on twitter… it’s real nasty. 😂
@@empyreumofficial6949Sweet Baby Inc just consists of woke motherfuckers that don’t give a fuck about the actual game audience and only wants to suck in the “modern audience”, which doesn’t even fucking make sense.
fssmm , this game is gonna take a turn and start coming back lls. Although It's "live serviced" doesn't mean It won't have some overhauls here and there to fix things
You know what would have bine sick if the entire games plot unfolds without bruce until harleys the only suicide squad member left and she narrowly escapes superman and batman is back for one knight only
Asylum: PERFECT Atmosphere. It said you would be like Batmanm but it lied. Because you BECAME the Batman City: The Story is mmm. Really good. Not perfect. But compare it to the others it's really good and near perfection Origins: The Best Boss fights you'll ever experience. It'll make you want to fight Deathstroke over and over until you don't even lose health to him. Not to mention. Bane. The Goat Knight: The past games could be said to have nailed the combat. But what makes Knight's combat PERFECTION personified is that it improves how much you can bounce from one enemy to the other. At times this isn't a fight. It's a bloody massacre on their Hospital bills Ssktjl: It gave us a good Batman suit. Different version of the Comics rebirth suit. But besides that. The game was a downgrade in everything the other 4 games had perfected and needed time to make other aspects better. Glad I haven't touched ssktjl. I'll just sit back with only 2 bucks in my wallet and no gamefly to play it
Perfectly said Rob. They broke everything that was previously built, the Arkham games are my favorite games of all time, and I would have rather have had the perfect conclusion it came to in Knight, than a new game in the same universe like this.
Rob I doubt you'll see this but I'm genuinely so happy I found your channel... from your situation irl to your videos they just drew me in and I'll be a long time sub!
Just say that Brainiac survived by uploading his consciousness into the Skull Ship or Brother Eye and then infected Superman after he used his technology on himself and Batman.
It IS a disgrace to DC period. Turning the Justice League into villains while making the Suicide Squad and its heartless control freak heroes? WTF, how this group ever get so popular is beyond me.
I was considering getting the game after I heard they were bringing back the leauge members and that Deathstroke was going to be a playable DLC, but I didn’t realize the gameplay was completely different from what I thought it was. I appreciate this video for saving me some money and sparing me the disappointment.
You know how the connection with Batman would have made sense? Batman comes out of retirement BECAUSE of the situation in Metropolis, and he is the ONE who helps you fight the corrupted League, NOT a Wonder Woman we barely get to know in the game. But no, that would have been too obvious or, you know, good.
I don’t care what they say it’s not canon. We had deadshot in Arkham city and he was white lol. I mean I’m not looking too far into it but I mean come on. You can’t connect a well built trilogy to this game. I feel like it’s an elseworld game.
An idea someone brought up to help the Batman coming back problem I liked is that he wasn’t initially on the league. The league gets formed and they get taken over by Brainiac forcing him to come out of hiding to help take them down. Then if you have the league live he joins them to make sure it doesn’t happen again
King shark died in assault on arkham. Damn amateurs why is h3 back and why is he stupid all of a sudden. He had a personality he was in love with killer frost.
You know, I weirdly would've preferred if Gotham Knights was the Arkham one, and this was a new universe thing. I don't know, if Gotham Knights was just about the court of owls filling the poewer vacuum after batman's 'death', could've been cool. But you gave this game a chance and that's pretty cool
This game shines when you have a actually squad online, also it's not comfier to be cannon (mainly because multivers and didn't mention justice league in the Arkham verse)
tbh not that bad, i didn’t experience a single bug or issue playing through the entire game, and i thought the story was really good as a whole besides how certain deaths were handled, i also thought the gameplay was fun, didn’t think it would be from watching videos, but actually doing it is fun as hell
@@HDS999yeah met a few who absolutely hated the game with the crowd before actually playing it & coming back to tell me how much they loved the gameplay & that wish they ain't just ride the hate train... It's definitely one of those games lol
who asked? gameplay was fun? after 9h cringe story you can only repeat 2 types of missions and grind gear. WHATS SO FUN ABOUT IT? its a live service coop game not mmorpg or multiplayer game where stats and gear matters. LMAO@@HDS999
I was really tempted to purchase this game but after this video im reconsitering it thank you Rob for this video it has really helped me make my decision about this game. (also love your content its amazing and has really helped my mental health so thank you for being here when i needed someone the most)
Appreciate you validating that others are allowed to enjoy the game instead of immediately talking down on it. Also mentioning certain people were just doing their job. It's a frustrating addition to the Arkhamverse for sure.
to this day I still don't understand warner's obsession with suicide squad, in the movies and also unfortunately in games now, it's one of DC's most uninteresting teams.
The problem with using the Arkham Batman is the Joker is locked away in his mind and if you change his mind in anyway, the joker will come out brainiac,s mind the control be damned
I’m gonna be honest, people keep asking for a justice league game, but I genuinely don’t think that’s an option. Playing a game as the justice league looks nice on paper but trust me it’s not something that would work especially if there were 5 members. Batman is human and you can make a good game from that but the others are majorly op and wouldn’t have engaging gameplay loops which would end up being marvels avengers all over again. Wonder Woman I could see maybe getting a game and it working, but flash green lantern and Superman. Hard enough on their own but all together. Yeah not happening and for good reason…
Bruce did return to being Batman at the end of Arkham Knight. Him saying his goodbyes was a lie because they wanted the trick us into thinking that he was going to die.
we were denied a Batman Beyond Arkham game for THIS. A Batman Beyond game with the NEMESIS system, and Damian Wayne as Batman. Who let Marvel writers and directors in WB cause I swear this shit can't be just a coincidence, it has to be a psyop. does WB just hate money?
I don’t like this video. Hating on the story is just stupid because if you paid attention and actually understood what was happening you know you aren’t just “unceremoniously killing the justice league”
And then going on to constantly say “we could’ve had this or we could’ve had that” when if you know rocksteady you know they wanted to do a looter shooter after arkham knight. This is something I’ve noticed is that nowadays if a developer sticks to a formula they use for many games, they get hated on for it, and when they make something new, they get even more hate
AND, as a fan of the actual characters and the comics (unlike many people who hate on this game), we all know that characters get killed off basically yearly. “Out of character for Bruce Wayne” is such a horrendous thing to say when it’s simply wrong. It sucks I felt compelled to write a whole ass essay because I really enjoy you and your content and I kinda knew this was coming from you. I know you say in the video that it’s okay if we like this game but it really just feels like you say that to try and not alienate people
I never once mentioned anything about “unceremoniously killing the JL.” The act of killing the JL in itself is not something I had a problem with. And it IS out of character for THIS Bruce Wayne. If this WASNT a part of the Arkham-verse, I wouldn’t have that opinion. Comic tell thousands of different stories. And Bruce Wayne in particular is depicted in a lot of different ways through those stories. But THIS Bruce Wayne wouldn’t come back in this way and I made that very clear. Not after everything that happened in Knight. And it is, in fact, okay if you like the game. Nobody is forcing you to watch my content or accept my opinion as fact.
It is a very common complaint and it’s something that feels alluded to in the video when you say that you just shoot them, which while it is true and is a complaint I have, you also omit the fact that they spend the entire first half of the game scrambling to even think of ways to take down the members of the justice league. As for Arkham verse Bruce Wayne, he spends the entirety of knight pushing away his entire group of family and friends, and after leaving Gotham so that it can be better protected by the members of the batfamily, he realizes that he shouldn’t have pushed them all away, and it’s something he’s shown to have regretted doing. I honestly think this game would’ve been better outside of the Arkham verse but for a much different reason. It would’ve been much cooler to have the full dc universe at their fingertips without having to establish anything (the same way Arkham asylum was, a game that could just take place at any random point in Batman comics timeline and make sense). There wouldn’t need to be crazy lore explanations for characters being where they are and it would give way more access for more characters appearing in the game. The hate for this game being a looter shooter feels weird because you talk about the looter shooter aspect being directly related to the microtransaction and battle pass systems and I just don’t see the correlation. Destiny and borderlands are looter shooters and for the most part any micro transactions are all cosmetic and are not part of the game (there are exceptions to that and I’m ignoring those because those were stupid decisions that suicide squad has not made). Like you said nobody is forcing me to watch the content but I watch because I enjoy your personality and I feel like it would’ve been fun seeing the normal you that we see in every other video having a blast in this game if you didn’t come in with the bias that you had. I came into the game not making any judgements until I finished it and put aside all my bias and I quite enjoyed it, and I wish you would’ve done the same too.
Imagine you being Robin or Nightwing and you just see your dad on TV patrolling the streets with Superman and you’re like wait a minute isn’t he suppose to be dead 😄😄
Now that I think about it, a Batman game where he comes around to the justice league could have been so cool. They maybe could have led up with an Justice league game as a sequel
Whenever I hear Captain boomerang, I just think of Boomerang from Wild Arms And my god, if they ever gave Captain boomerang and wolf or dog, even more so
...one line? They gave Batman one line to hand-wave the whole Arkham Quadrilogy? It doesn't even make sense. He said he thought he had to push his allies away, but now realises he doesn't? That's LITERALLY THE PLOT OF ARKHAM ORIGINS. "A man cannot be an island Bruce." Did he like... forget? Why did they think wiping their ass with Arkham Batman would make fans of the Arkham series happy? It's not like they can say "you still bought the game so we got your money" because the whole point of this game is that its live service so they can keep rinsing your wallet forever with it. So you'd think they'd make sure those existing fans they've blagged over would be happy? Nothing Batman said or Rocksteady did made any sense.
I mean what did you expect with how terrible Gotham Knights was? Rocksteady are washed gaming developers and the fans of the old games needs to face reality that they're never getting another good DC game from them.
I am downloading this as we speak on PS Plus (for free) and the live service is being canned this year as you predicted … but I want to get the story finished even if it does suck.
Also in regards to this games connection to the Arkham verse, from what I've seen online at least it's just so incoherent that can it actually be cannon? From Deadshot being different to Batman joining the league after hanging up the cowl for the better of the city years ago. Like this story isn't even cohesive on it's own. It's weird.
Honestly I agree. These designs would be great as a justice league game. You could even use whoever the villain is as the catalyst to get Batman out of hiding. Only problem is they probably would’ve been scared off by the Tragedy that was the Avengers game
I just feel like I should mention this not trying to be like a sponsor or anything but the seasons do last for as long as you want them to their infinite so even if it moves on, you can do a new season and the battle pass is free in the characters that are released
If you haven't played it before, would you consider getting the Platinum for Deathloop. Such a fun game, same team of people who made Dishonored and Prey are behind it.
My honest feelings of this game was it scratched my borderlands itch which is somthing gearbox hasnt done since pre sequal but as arkham fan i wouldve liked somthing that isnt live service focused even if it is a fun one
I just recently played gotham knights and that game didn't get good reviews but I enjoyed it and that feels like a proper follow-up to the arkham series compared to this game
This is the best review i saw on this game So many UA-camrs are jumping on this trend reviewing the suicide squad game. Next they will all jump on HellDivers trend
My problems with it is that the game is in the Arkhamverse, it should be its own thing in a separate universe tbh. We should have gotten a justice league game instead. Imagine flying around the map as Superman, Wonder Woman, or green lantern, running at supersonic speeds as the flash, or use Batman like the other Arkham games. This was a giant missed opportunity Rocksteady.
The developers forgot these characters are from the Arkham Universe and not the DCEU universe, I swear that Harley is the Margot Robbie’s version of Harley and they mixed up Deadshot with Uncle Ruckus cause Arkham Deadshot was white 😂 King Shark like you said is Drax from GOTG
Honestly I wish rocksteady would have made the justice league game instead of this shooter game bullshit. Don’t get me wrong it was fun at first but after it being a rinse and repeat kinda pissed me off. Let’s not get into them killing Batman in the most disrespectful way possible. I actually I agree with you bud. I usually don’t agree with no one
I'm completely fine with a suicide squad looter shooter set in the arkham verse. But instead of a Justice League plot with a whole bunch of elseworlds junk thrown in there, do a Starro, Enchantress or Legion of Doom plot (albeit some less powerful villains), keep Deadshot or switch him out with Bloodsport, have the seasonal characters be Killer Frost or Captain Cold, Kitana, Deathstroke, and then maybe have some characters we wouldn't expect to see, like Arsenal or Cheetah.

@@DrippleDragon I mean that's if braniac wasn't clever enough to make the clone think he is the real Barry Allen. Then again it is braniac... Might not be that clever to do that.
@@DrippleDragon Brainiac is the smartest character in the dc universe I'm pretty sure he is smart enough to make sure the clones don't know they are clones which if I can think of it he def would respectfully but i do agree the story although the story does need work like rn they need to fix it like rn with a big update that changes the scenes at least alil bit
If I'm correct, it wasn't just WB Games that did this game, there was also some company called Sweet Baby Inc. It seems they have also worked on Alan Wake 2 and Spiderman 2 if I'm correct, and I'm weary of them. So just watch out for that company as well.
is Alan Wake 2 a bad game though? Honest question, I am hyped about that game, waiting when it releases on Steam :D
Ironic that Sweet Baby is there to ensure that a narrative isn’t tone deaf for “modern audiences” and yet… they had no idea who their actual audience was for this game. It’s also ironic that they’re a writers guild of sorts that’s all about diversity and inclusivity… yet are the most divisive group of people I’ve ever seen in the gaming industry. If you haven’t seen what’s happened just in the past month or so with their employees and what they’ve been saying on twitter… it’s real nasty. 😂
@@empyreumofficial6949Sweet Baby Inc just consists of woke motherfuckers that don’t give a fuck about the actual game audience and only wants to suck in the “modern audience”, which doesn’t even fucking make sense.
Cyberpunk 2077 get that done
fssmm , this game is gonna take a turn and start coming back lls. Although It's "live serviced" doesn't mean It won't have some overhauls here and there to fix things
Cyberpunk 2077 fixed itself and now is playable, fun and actually good.
You know what would have bine sick if the entire games plot unfolds without bruce until harleys the only suicide squad member left and she narrowly escapes superman and batman is back for one knight only
One knight?
@@blackreaperkaneki9900 Sorry night english isnt my first language
Asylum: PERFECT Atmosphere. It said you would be like Batmanm but it lied. Because you BECAME the Batman
City: The Story is mmm. Really good. Not perfect. But compare it to the others it's really good and near perfection
Origins: The Best Boss fights you'll ever experience. It'll make you want to fight Deathstroke over and over until you don't even lose health to him. Not to mention. Bane. The Goat
Knight: The past games could be said to have nailed the combat. But what makes Knight's combat PERFECTION personified is that it improves how much you can bounce from one enemy to the other. At times this isn't a fight. It's a bloody massacre on their Hospital bills
Ssktjl: It gave us a good Batman suit. Different version of the Comics rebirth suit. But besides that. The game was a downgrade in everything the other 4 games had perfected and needed time to make other aspects better. Glad I haven't touched ssktjl. I'll just sit back with only 2 bucks in my wallet and no gamefly to play it
Perfectly said Rob. They broke everything that was previously built, the Arkham games are my favorite games of all time, and I would have rather have had the perfect conclusion it came to in Knight, than a new game in the same universe like this.
Rob I doubt you'll see this but I'm genuinely so happy I found your channel... from your situation irl to your videos they just drew me in and I'll be a long time sub!
It would have made more sense of they said it's a carry on from injustice 2 because of braniac and batman turning evil
Just say that Brainiac survived by uploading his consciousness into the Skull Ship or Brother Eye and then infected Superman after he used his technology on himself and Batman.
Im just going to pretend this is an alternate timeline where bruce became batman again and joined the justice League
Now let’s do a list of 10 superhero video games we all should want to happen someday
It IS a disgrace to DC period. Turning the Justice League into villains while making the Suicide Squad and its heartless control freak heroes? WTF, how this group ever get so popular is beyond me.
I wish I could speak English like this. Always happy to see you succeed Rob😊
I was considering getting the game after I heard they were bringing back the leauge members and that Deathstroke was going to be a playable DLC, but I didn’t realize the gameplay was completely different from what I thought it was. I appreciate this video for saving me some money and sparing me the disappointment.
your chat when ivy was shown is insane lmao
Very well put. Love your take on games amd can't wait to keep watching
7:03 Couldn't said it better myself.
They completely ruined the whole conflict in arkham knight and all of its impact.
This video did a fantastic job of explaining the base issues and fan outcry in general.
People keep throwing rocksteady under the bus but if we all know rocksteady they will give us something huge
You know how the connection with Batman would have made sense? Batman comes out of retirement BECAUSE of the situation in Metropolis, and he is the ONE who helps you fight the corrupted League, NOT a Wonder Woman we barely get to know in the game. But no, that would have been too obvious or, you know, good.
Would’ve solved 80% of my issue with the narrative lol
We should’ve gotten at least a comic book or animated movie to bridge the gap between knight and suicide squad
There is a comic, but it sucks and doesn't obey the lore at all
I don’t care what they say it’s not canon. We had deadshot in Arkham city and he was white lol. I mean I’m not looking too far into it but I mean come on. You can’t connect a well built trilogy to this game. I feel like it’s an elseworld game.
An idea someone brought up to help the Batman coming back problem I liked is that he wasn’t initially on the league. The league gets formed and they get taken over by Brainiac forcing him to come out of hiding to help take them down. Then if you have the league live he joins them to make sure it doesn’t happen again
Let’s just pretend Arkham knight was the end
King shark died in assault on arkham. Damn amateurs why is h3 back and why is he stupid all of a sudden. He had a personality he was in love with killer frost.
I love how this game made people play more Arkham knight
You know, I weirdly would've preferred if Gotham Knights was the Arkham one, and this was a new universe thing. I don't know, if Gotham Knights was just about the court of owls filling the poewer vacuum after batman's 'death', could've been cool. But you gave this game a chance and that's pretty cool
This game shines when you have a actually squad online, also it's not comfier to be cannon (mainly because multivers and didn't mention justice league in the Arkham verse)
It was painful just watching you play, can't imagine actually playing it.
tbh not that bad, i didn’t experience a single bug or issue playing through the entire game, and i thought the story was really good as a whole besides how certain deaths were handled, i also thought the gameplay was fun, didn’t think it would be from watching videos, but actually doing it is fun as hell
@@HDS999people just need to give it a try themselves, story isn’t over over yet! We still have so many seasons before the story is finished.
@@HDS999yeah met a few who absolutely hated the game with the crowd before actually playing it & coming back to tell me how much they loved the gameplay & that wish they ain't just ride the hate train... It's definitely one of those games lol
who asked? gameplay was fun? after 9h cringe story you can only repeat 2 types of missions and grind gear. WHATS SO FUN ABOUT IT? its a live service coop game not mmorpg or multiplayer game where stats and gear matters. LMAO@@HDS999
I platinumed it and loved it
Wish they remastered origins instead of making this game tbh
Why would they remaster a game they didn't make
@@Texasvu would have been better than this shitty product they dropped for 70 dollars 💀
I was really tempted to purchase this game but after this video im reconsitering it thank you Rob for this video it has really helped me make my decision about this game. (also love your content its amazing and has really helped my mental health so thank you for being here when i needed someone the most)
I just saw you on VideoGameDonkey Recent video! You’re big time now!! ❤️ so proud of you! 😊
"even turds can be polished" That's the best way to describe most AAA games for the past 2 years
the only thing that will save the series is a red hood revenge plot
wish we saw justice league vs braniac or jl vs Darkseid. That would've been a happy conclusion to the arkham verse.
Appreciate you validating that others are allowed to enjoy the game instead of immediately talking down on it. Also mentioning certain people were just doing their job. It's a frustrating addition to the Arkhamverse for sure.
How they got captured was the dumbest thing. "Cmon guys maybe this skull ship wants to be friends"
Margot Robbie's attractiveness as Harley Quinn started the domino chain that destroyed the Arkham-verse, discuss 😂
to this day I still don't understand warner's obsession with suicide squad, in the movies and also unfortunately in games now, it's one of DC's most uninteresting teams.
It really is weird how much they are trying to force suicide squad down our throats.
It’s strange to me as well. It would’ve been like Marvel Studios releasing Guardians of the Galaxy over Avengers 😂
The fact that he hasn’t even gotten to the bad parts yet and he still knows its bad.
The problem with using the Arkham Batman is the Joker is locked away in his mind and if you change his mind in anyway, the joker will come out brainiac,s mind the control be damned
I’m gonna be honest, people keep asking for a justice league game, but I genuinely don’t think that’s an option. Playing a game as the justice league looks nice on paper but trust me it’s not something that would work especially if there were 5 members. Batman is human and you can make a good game from that but the others are majorly op and wouldn’t have engaging gameplay loops which would end up being marvels avengers all over again. Wonder Woman I could see maybe getting a game and it working, but flash green lantern and Superman. Hard enough on their own but all together. Yeah not happening and for good reason…
Bruce did return to being Batman at the end of Arkham Knight. Him saying his goodbyes was a lie because they wanted the trick us into thinking that he was going to die.
Could you possibly do Horizon Forbidden West or Frontiers of Pandora
we were denied a Batman Beyond Arkham game for THIS. A Batman Beyond game with the NEMESIS system, and Damian Wayne as Batman. Who let Marvel writers and directors in WB cause I swear this shit can't be just a coincidence, it has to be a psyop. does WB just hate money?
I am willing to sacrifice Rob's insanity for this platinum😂 - great video💪💪💪
If this game ends up flopping, I mean, the developers could retcon it from the arkham universe
Found your channel 3 months ago and now I wanna see Crash bandicoot series platinum Relics run, yes crash 4s purple Relics as well
I don’t like this video. Hating on the story is just stupid because if you paid attention and actually understood what was happening you know you aren’t just “unceremoniously killing the justice league”
And then going on to constantly say “we could’ve had this or we could’ve had that” when if you know rocksteady you know they wanted to do a looter shooter after arkham knight. This is something I’ve noticed is that nowadays if a developer sticks to a formula they use for many games, they get hated on for it, and when they make something new, they get even more hate
AND, as a fan of the actual characters and the comics (unlike many people who hate on this game), we all know that characters get killed off basically yearly. “Out of character for Bruce Wayne” is such a horrendous thing to say when it’s simply wrong. It sucks I felt compelled to write a whole ass essay because I really enjoy you and your content and I kinda knew this was coming from you. I know you say in the video that it’s okay if we like this game but it really just feels like you say that to try and not alienate people
I never once mentioned anything about “unceremoniously killing the JL.” The act of killing the JL in itself is not something I had a problem with. And it IS out of character for THIS Bruce Wayne. If this WASNT a part of the Arkham-verse, I wouldn’t have that opinion. Comic tell thousands of different stories. And Bruce Wayne in particular is depicted in a lot of different ways through those stories. But THIS Bruce Wayne wouldn’t come back in this way and I made that very clear. Not after everything that happened in Knight. And it is, in fact, okay if you like the game. Nobody is forcing you to watch my content or accept my opinion as fact.
It is a very common complaint and it’s something that feels alluded to in the video when you say that you just shoot them, which while it is true and is a complaint I have, you also omit the fact that they spend the entire first half of the game scrambling to even think of ways to take down the members of the justice league. As for Arkham verse Bruce Wayne, he spends the entirety of knight pushing away his entire group of family and friends, and after leaving Gotham so that it can be better protected by the members of the batfamily, he realizes that he shouldn’t have pushed them all away, and it’s something he’s shown to have regretted doing. I honestly think this game would’ve been better outside of the Arkham verse but for a much different reason. It would’ve been much cooler to have the full dc universe at their fingertips without having to establish anything (the same way Arkham asylum was, a game that could just take place at any random point in Batman comics timeline and make sense). There wouldn’t need to be crazy lore explanations for characters being where they are and it would give way more access for more characters appearing in the game. The hate for this game being a looter shooter feels weird because you talk about the looter shooter aspect being directly related to the microtransaction and battle pass systems and I just don’t see the correlation. Destiny and borderlands are looter shooters and for the most part any micro transactions are all cosmetic and are not part of the game (there are exceptions to that and I’m ignoring those because those were stupid decisions that suicide squad has not made). Like you said nobody is forcing me to watch the content but I watch because I enjoy your personality and I feel like it would’ve been fun seeing the normal you that we see in every other video having a blast in this game if you didn’t come in with the bias that you had. I came into the game not making any judgements until I finished it and put aside all my bias and I quite enjoyed it, and I wish you would’ve done the same too.
This game would be so much better if it wasn’t in the Arkham series
2:55 Was that a fucking FNAF reference in an Arkham Batman game? Bro shut the studio down..
Imagine you being Robin or Nightwing and you just see your dad on TV patrolling the streets with Superman and you’re like wait a minute isn’t he suppose to be dead 😄😄
Now that I think about it, a Batman game where he comes around to the justice league could have been so cool. They maybe could have led up with an Justice league game as a sequel
Whenever I hear Captain boomerang, I just think of Boomerang from Wild Arms
And my god, if they ever gave Captain boomerang and wolf or dog, even more so
suicide squad: kill the arkham verse
...one line? They gave Batman one line to hand-wave the whole Arkham Quadrilogy? It doesn't even make sense. He said he thought he had to push his allies away, but now realises he doesn't? That's LITERALLY THE PLOT OF ARKHAM ORIGINS. "A man cannot be an island Bruce." Did he like... forget?
Why did they think wiping their ass with Arkham Batman would make fans of the Arkham series happy? It's not like they can say "you still bought the game so we got your money" because the whole point of this game is that its live service so they can keep rinsing your wallet forever with it. So you'd think they'd make sure those existing fans they've blagged over would be happy?
Nothing Batman said or Rocksteady did made any sense.
I mean what did you expect with how terrible Gotham Knights was? Rocksteady are washed gaming developers and the fans of the old games needs to face reality that they're never getting another good DC game from them.
it's funny how he said he'd like to believe they pitched a batman beyond game when that was literally what was supposed to happen. we got robbed bro.
I am downloading this as we speak on PS Plus (for free) and the live service is being canned this year as you predicted … but I want to get the story finished even if it does suck.
Love your content, Rob.Your review is spot on this diabolical game
Also in regards to this games connection to the Arkham verse, from what I've seen online at least it's just so incoherent that can it actually be cannon? From Deadshot being different to Batman joining the league after hanging up the cowl for the better of the city years ago. Like this story isn't even cohesive on it's own. It's weird.
25/08/2009
The day this master piece was Born i was Born too
Honestly I agree. These designs would be great as a justice league game. You could even use whoever the villain is as the catalyst to get Batman out of hiding. Only problem is they probably would’ve been scared off by the Tragedy that was the Avengers game
I just feel like I should mention this not trying to be like a sponsor or anything but the seasons do last for as long as you want them to their infinite so even if it moves on, you can do a new season and the battle pass is free in the characters that are released
If you haven't played it before, would you consider getting the Platinum for Deathloop. Such a fun game, same team of people who made Dishonored and Prey are behind it.
Dude a Batman beyond game would have been the perfect send off for the series
My honest feelings of this game was it scratched my borderlands itch which is somthing gearbox hasnt done since pre sequal but as arkham fan i wouldve liked somthing that isnt live service focused even if it is a fun one
This is one of the few games where even the fans of this game called it trash
I just recently played gotham knights and that game didn't get good reviews but I enjoyed it and that feels like a proper follow-up to the arkham series compared to this game
This is the best review i saw on this game
So many UA-camrs are jumping on this trend reviewing the suicide squad game. Next they will all jump on HellDivers trend
As I like to call it, The Fodder Squad 🥶🥶🥶 Harley tho 🥵
My problems with it is that the game is in the Arkhamverse, it should be its own thing in a separate universe tbh.
We should have gotten a justice league game instead. Imagine flying around the map as Superman, Wonder Woman, or green lantern, running at supersonic speeds as the flash, or use Batman like the other Arkham games. This was a giant missed opportunity Rocksteady.
The developers forgot these characters are from the Arkham Universe and not the DCEU universe, I swear that Harley is the Margot Robbie’s version of Harley and they mixed up Deadshot with Uncle Ruckus cause Arkham Deadshot was white 😂 King Shark like you said is Drax from GOTG
I hope he plays borderlands 2 and 3 some day to see how good looter shooters can be
Drink everytime rob said looter-shooter and "forced"
😂
Evacuate the city,engage all defences and get this man a million subs
Where did you get that shirt u are wearing ?
Honestly I wish rocksteady would have made the justice league game instead of this shooter game bullshit. Don’t get me wrong it was fun at first but after it being a rinse and repeat kinda pissed me off. Let’s not get into them killing Batman in the most disrespectful way possible. I actually I agree with you bud. I usually don’t agree with no one
I'm completely fine with a suicide squad looter shooter set in the arkham verse. But instead of a Justice League plot with a whole bunch of elseworlds junk thrown in there, do a Starro, Enchantress or Legion of Doom plot (albeit some less powerful villains), keep Deadshot or switch him out with Bloodsport, have the seasonal characters be Killer Frost or Captain Cold, Kitana, Deathstroke, and then maybe have some characters we wouldn't expect to see, like Arsenal or Cheetah.
