Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is a Woke Disaster + Rocksteady Panics as Fans REJECT Game 

Thank you for watching! Suicide Squad is genuinely something I wish Rocksteady never made to begin with. And currently as of right now the game was pulled offline one hour into early access cause a bug is causing players to auto-complete the entire game. What a mess.

Imagine being one of Batman's most dangerous, toughest, and strongest villains to find out that Batman was killed by a mentally insane girl who gets dropped in 5 seconds whenever she fights Batman or any Robin.

THAT Batman scene.... Just spits in the the face of every-single Arkham game.

Harley Quinn without the Joker is like a fish without water.

Deadshot was white in Arkham Origins. Gotta love the pointless race swaps.

A wise man once said: Games as a service is fraud.

If they thought killing the justice league was a smart move, please fire them

It is weird to me that people still think that these are the same people who made the Arkham games. Most of them have left Rocksteady for years now. Same with Rockstar, Bioware and others.

Who’d have thought a live service game nobody wanted would fail?

I can't believe Rocksteady dropped the ball so much. All they had to do is make a Batman Arkham game from the villains point of view, and everyone would have loved it! And they saw how no one wanted a game like this after The Avengers bombed, and even their own Gotham Knights. Why???

The irony that a a game called “Suicide Squad” ends up killing their studio’s reputation

Never pre-order, never buy day 1, and never purchase microtransactions.

The fact they race swapped Deadshot and wrote an embarrassing retcon to justify it is bizarre. They needed a minority character in the main cast to tick a quota.

As someone who has been witnessing all of this first-hand, I can confidently say this: This is how it happened. This is how the Arkhamverse died.

If this game took 9 years to make. Imagine the game budget. I doubt this game will make its money back.

I have been a gamer for over 40 years and the only thing that this new model of gaming has done is stopped me from buying videogames.

I miss when suicide squad was an obscure comic book which focused on a more dark tone, the movies turned the entire concept into “woohoo whacky Harley Quinn and friends”

I remember that live-service Avengers game that was so desperately being pushed and advertised by Square Enix... that they shut down a year after release. WB said "Hold my Bud Light! I can have my failed 200mill live-service flop too!"

RIP Kevin Conroy 😔 sorry your last role was wasted on a horrible game.

The Act Man said it best "Live service gaming is where passion and creativity go to die"

The moment I saw how they modeled Harley I knew instantly what kind of game it was going to be 😂

I like the part where Harley Quinn told Batman to check his privilege and to stop being a toxic part of the patriarchy.

Back in my day...when you bought a game, you owned it. This is renting and the rent is too damn high!

Suicide Squad COULD have worked, but they ruined it for many...many reasons

It's not about the title of the game, it's about how the game actually happens. The JL's members die in some of the most BS ways, especially Batman

At this point I honestly hope Rocksteady goes out of business. To be this disrespectful to characters like Batman is simply unforgivable. A price needs to be paid now.

Sefton Hill and the original Rocksteady founders left a while back, and it's definitely for one of two reasons: they abandoned their sinking ship, or they were forced out by the mutiny conducted by the activists who took it over.

Kevin Conroy probably cursed the game before he died

Here's the thing: even outside any woke nonsense: I despise live service and I despise multiverse stories. Done with em. Period.

Sefton Hill sitting at home, watching as the once beloved Rocksteady is about to burn saying 'This, is how it happened..this is how my previous studio seized to exist'

If a AAA gaming company doesn't have the courage to have their game reviewed honestly it means they have no faith in the game or know its terrible.

I have no remorse. They were warned. They deserve what they get.

They truly did Kevin Conroy’s final Batman performance dirty. It goes without saying that Harley and Poison Ivy scene was not a good look for the game’s story.

I don't care what any one thinks otherwise, The treatment to Batman and Kevin Conroy, was disgusting. They could of done it more tasteful through out the game. Surely those idiots would've known that Batman scene would not of gone down well with fans

The fact that they have characters using abilities they don't even have tells you the game is BS

Don't forget that Rocksteady, like other studios, has many of internal changes with developers and decision makers. These aren't the same people who built the Arkham games most likely, is what happened to DICE.

If this game is gonna bomb, Rocksteady deserves absolutely everything is coming to them.

Live Service, ESG, and DEI is the trifecta needed to kill games

As a Marvel's: Avengers player, what they did shutting down the game was worse than just refusing refunds. They just added ALL the skins and other cosmetics from the store for free to every active account. Sure, it was a nice addition for a casual like myself who'd never spent a dime on those skins, only buying some for farmable currency, but damn did that have to feel like a slap to everyone who'd spent hundreds of dollars for what they'd thought to be deluxe content. To make it even more egregious, IIRC you could still BUY skins as late as a month before the official shutdown. By that time the news about them dropping all the skins for free was already out... just, conveniently enough, only on the official website and the handful of journos who still bothered to cover the game in its death throes. So if you didn't follow the game's news you were prone to learning about it AFTER you'd just spent $50 for one of those Endgame skins. And, again, no refunds. TL;DR: They milked the whales till the very last second and then just flipped them a bird by making all those exclusive cosmetics not exclusive at all.

3 months! i give them 3 months then rocksteady will close doors

I’m definitely not playing the suicide squad game after seeing that screenshot of Harley Quinn killing Arkhamverse Batman 😂

Woke modern gaming dying is a good thing, need to get rid of more wokeness as well

this is what happens when gamers DONT make games for gamer BUT boomers make games for gamers.. only trash comes out of it..

With moves like this in times like today, you´re actually send out your game swimming with concrete boots.

This is a game the marketing team forced the devs to make. You can feel there's no passion behind it

They literally had to write a lazy explanation as to why Deadshot is a person of color in KJL when in the previous arkham games he was a white dude, the whole explanation is *oh but this was a fake Deadshot don't worry about it* which implies Batman, Deathstroke and everyone else were too dumb to figure it out in the 10 or so years Deadshot has been running around, it also contradicts the games where Batman himself says that only Deadshot could pull off a shot like that and for everyone else it would be impossible. Harley somehow built some connection with Ivy even tho for all of the Arkham trilogy she was obsessed with Joker and everything she did was for him and only spoke with Ivy for 2 minutes in Asylum. Lets not even talk about that instead of giving us a continuation to Nightwing and Red Hood's stories from Knight they are gonna release them as dlc and have them do absolutely nothing.

I’ve seen no one excited for this game. I’m 100% sure this will be a massive failure.

What the hell is this? Batman's death should also be a proper sendoff to Kevin Conroy's last potrayal as Batman.

I've seen the deaths and god its all so disrespectful its genuinely tragic.

This game had more red flags than USRR had on Stalin's Birthday even a year ago, and it only kept getting worse. Dead on Arrival, is the best it can archieve.

The rocksteady veterans left the company thats why they were able to change so much and so badly😂😂

Let alone that death. Kevin's conroy last words as batman were "are we done with your bad stand up routine". WHAT KIND OF BATMAN WOULD SAY THAT? THIS IS LITERALLY MY BEST BATMAN

RIP to the players who paid $100+ for early access and the server went down some ppl love getting scam😂

It really saddens me at how far Rocksteady have fallen. The Arkham series is one of the rare classics that will still be enjoyed 10 years from now, but Suicide Squad will be forgotten about in less than 2.

So they DO want to be able to use the characters from Justice League again in this universe? Why make this game at all then?

Was really hoping this game would do a Guardians of the Galaxy and secretly be lit. Looks less likely every day.

The games industry is at a tipping point I feel. A mixture of wokeness in game design, woke media coverage, live service games, gotcha games, and now with Yakuza having new game + as a DLC. Its too much now and gamers are starting to step back, wait, or just get a better game despite the franchise. Because they have ruined a ton of franchises to the point they lost the blind faith they used to have. Lots of companys are having to do lay offs or are going under. And I think its good for the industry, because those that invested in those cheap tactics are feeling the short-sightedness of their actions. And remember that a company that you loved that has sold out, is no longer the same company.

We honor Kevin Conroy by not buying them game and remember him by playing the 3 arkham games again.

Its truly sad and disgusting how deep Rocksteady has fallen.

It got it's early preorder release, had a LITERAL GAME ENDING BUG (bug that shifts you right to the game ending), then pulled offline for hours. People who preordered paid to be beta testers.... again.

This is what happens when you hire sweet baby inc to review your games.

The amount of hatred I have for them with the disrespect towards Kevin Conroy’s final performance is never enough. To hell with this game and may it get shutdown and made an example out of its existence.

The bar is on the fucking ground and they brought shovels.

I bet Batman will have the same respect as Wilfred in the last Doctor Who special, meaning no respect at all.

Meanwhile the Japan gaming industry is booming in term of non-woke

rocksteady: this isn't a live service pew pew game, honest! also rocksteady: pre order our live service game to get access to lots of skins and cosmetics for your pew pew guns....

It blows me away that these companies still dont understand how much easier it would be for them if they would just cut the bullshit and remove politics from their products

Im so disappointed because the movement in this games looks absolutely fluid, but it aint "id spend $100+ to play it" fluid😶

$100 for a live service game??? All extra's that should be free in a regular game will cost money in this one. This should be a free to pay game.

Suicide Squad will be the straw that breaks camel's back when it comes to full price Live Service games as a viable option for 99% of developers and publishers.

7:42 The guy on screen is a "Junior Designer" meaning he's on the very bottom when it comes to coming up with any real decisions. I guarantee they're only putting him on camera because he's the 1 black guy that works at the studio. Dev studios love doing this with their dev interview videos. If someone is in an entry level position, they only put people of interest or attractive women on camera just to say "hey look, we have ____ working here"

Rocksteady should have gone after the Ninja Turtles license and given us another Arkham City style game.

Warner Bros is even more woke then Disney.

Its crazy how so many developers we held so highly 15 years ago are now just making trashy games.

And this is why I haven’t been buying recent games because of the lack of respect for the gaming community and the industry as a whole.

Damn that sucks. I have no idea why they just didnt go route that Guardians of the Galaxy took because despite not being a triple A masterpiece, it had an amazing story, great characters, and good combat/game play. Only thing i didnt like was only being able to play as Star Lord.

This game is going to make that Avengers game look like a huge success...

Great coverage

And this is why I sail the high seas. Yar-Har, Fiddle-Dee-Dee. Half of the downloads are probably me.

Little bit of a fun fact, Accursed Farms talked about Live Services at length and he pointed out how the only thing that differentiates a live service from a normal game is almost exclusively the always-online DRM.

You know a dead game when not even journos have gotten early copies. Hope this game bombs because it did every sin of video games. Sucks it cost Kevin Conroy and Arkham series to make the disaster happen. Great video overall, and man this is pointing to the repeat history like Saints Woke.

Everything is going to 💩 these days.

No one wanted a game about the suicide squad in the first place. They’re D tier af

Red flags everywhere. Beware fellow gamers!!!

If this could just be a better Outriders I'd be thrilled.

If the game is really that bad, then I would like it to flop miserable. $70 for wokeness, boring gameplay and full of pay add-on shouldn't be supported. We need to send a message to the industry to see changes.

One thing said: IGN and Polygon have not been trustworthy or reasonable reviewing sites for years now. The fact that IGN didnt like the game cos you can kill justice league in the game proofs this is true. Its a frickin game! It was right that they were denied review copies. But i agree that damage has been done. Ill wait for players reviews for this game and hold up my purchase until that.

They were better off making a new Gotham Imposters buwhahahaha

"It's just a bad game, how is it woke?" The game is literally called Kill the Justice League, and the only Justice League member who isn't killable because she stays good and had a heroic sacrifice is Wonder Woman, meanwhile Harley executed Batman in cold blood, with a smile on her face as if she was a badass girl boss

Not sending ANYONE review copies is a big issue, I remember how someone talked about how Bethesda didn't send review copies for Doom 2016, so people thought it wasn't going to be that good. Obviously that was an exception.

And they wander why gaming is failing

Live service games as a concept are actually incredibly solid. The game can permanently fund future projects the studio might want to work on, and it gets a continuous pipeline of content fed to it to keep it relevant. These games are also much more capable of having a redemption arc when compared to games that aren't Live service, lookathalo infinite. My problem isn't so much the concept, more so how it's handled. Publishers often use Live service games as a cheap way to get as much money as possible. I separate the games from the Publishers and developers who create/publish them, because if they make a good game, then that's worth celebrating regardless of previous business practices in my eyes. If they make a bad game, I hold it to the people responsible.

If Rocksteady goes under I won't shed a tear. They've lost their charm a longtime ago. It's time for these devs and companies to learn a hard lesson.

Oh no, corporate bootlickers, mistakenly called "game journalists" aren't getting their free game keys? My heart weeps for the swine, for sure.

The garbage ass state of games these days has literally ended my interest in video games. I only play once every few weeks now, and that is ONLY because of my friends who aren't in the US anymore use video games to stay in touch and honestly, I more often just talk to them on discord while they play. I genuinely could not care less if the industry collapses, and I do have better things to do.

Video games should be made with video game players in mind. Anime graphics are fine to set fantasy and reality apart, and sex dimorphic characters help prevent the characters from being the same.

rip rocksteady, we dont need another live service mess

You know it's really sad that back at DC Fandome in 2020, I was hyped (and a bit nervous) to see how this game would playout in the Arkhamverse. But just like Gotham Knights, it's left me disappointed. Oh I haven't bought it, and now I don't intend to, but it's sad to see games like them be reduced to tedious grinding and extensive online purchases. I hope Black Myth Wukong isn't as bad, or I just bought the PS5 for nothing.

I remember this video being unlisted for a while, but I'm glad it's back up

Oh please let this be true. Several Japanese companies have already fallen victim
