I made a mistake saying Rocksteady made Arkham Origins, this is a complete error and I take full responsibility, this was made by Warner Brothers Montreal. I will be better about a mistake like this one.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League strikes a terrifying drum for the future of live service and the “destiny killers”, 95% of games being released will be live service in some form and if this is the trend, single player developers swimming up stream into live service without a paddle, it’s all but sunk for gaming. Suicide Squad is a unique case however and unlike Anthem, suicide squad didn’t have the horror story in development that we know of. Before Suicide Squads release something was different for the legendary Rocksteady, they created the modern day superhero game format and gave batman fans and superhero fans alike, a place to call home. Given the track record of single player games with a narrow, tight focus on a storyline true to the world's greatest detective couldn’t let the bad game get away, right? Rocksteady spent several years on this project, they could not mess this up? Warner Brothers wanted the suicide squad to be the next great live service game? Well you’re about to learn about the modern day tragedy of the next Destiny Killer, the story of Suicide Squad and the grim future of live service.

what you said about kevin was a disrespect to the man. this game shits on his legacy no he didnt know they were going to end him by shooting him in the face . everyone with any sense knows he didnt or he wouldnt have done the role. you are doing a diserves to all your viewing audienvce when you said that bs about kevin. and you left out the main reason why the game is trash. its trash because its filled with leftist woke idelogy. i dont think you mentioned that once in this video. pretty pathetic and weak of you. you scared someoen is going to call you far right or something? because everyone else sees the idoloical slant but your self.lmao you got issues my dude. its not just because the game is boring or that you fell asleep . its because its propoganda and it shows no respect to the male characters expecially batman

See: Every mary sue protagonist and every "diverse" super-hero stand in. No. Superman is a villain because he's powerful and a straight white male.

Don't fall into this trap where you feel you can't be critical of game developers. Tommy Wiseau is a more experienced director than me but I still know The Room is a bad movie. I don't have to know what a key grip does to realize that. If a chef serves me an undercooked steak, I really don't care that cooking is hard and the restaurant is going through tough times, I only care that the end product I paid for isn't in an acceptable state. If your job is so hard that you can't perform properly then you should get a different job. Same goes for game development, you don't have to be a game dev to know that a product is bad and you don't have to give them a pass because they tell you their job is hard.

@christopheraustin5915 3 месяца назад

So this got me thinking; live service games like warframe allowed you to make your own character and and live as an important figure in the story. SSKTJL makes you play as an established character with a backstory, requiring you have set expectations for those characters. The thing is, Task Force X could allow you to build your own characters as random convicts and have big names like Deadshot and boomerang act as mentor figures like the Vanguard in Destiny. Waller has even been known to give dead squad members’ equipment to randos to fill out mission rosters

@ethangnasher3848 3 месяца назад

@christopheraustin5915 3 месяца назад

To your point about the squad working as side characters, that’s kind of how they were invisioned. The squads first appearance was in a 90s crossover comic where they acted in the us government’s interests during an alien invasion the justice league was dealing with. That’s kind of where they thrive; acting in the background of major events to provide a more grounded view. The premise itself was intended to be a grim joke, Oslander (the writer) made the team to answer the question of why so many supervillains kept going in and out of prison so frequently? A consequence of this was that he got a chance to take simple-characters and flesh them out into 3-dimensional characters, allowing us to see how they function when not in their natural habitat. It taught us things like how Captain Cold is a brilliant tactician, the Calculator is a shitty villain but has a limitless mind for logistics, and that Capt. Boomerang is incredibly dangerous to people other than the fastest thing alive. Fun fact; that 90s version was a reboot of a 60s adventure team, also called Task Force X, and nicknamed the Suicide Squad because it was made up of traumatized service members who were the sole survivors of mass casualty events.

@aresgodofwar7401 3 месяца назад

Don't forget Evan Suicide Squad was originally in development from a different studio that WB shut down so this isn't even their IP. Least from what other RU-vidrs and other media outlets have said, I could be wrong though.

@DestDisc 3 месяца назад

Evan1997 doesn't know what he's talking about, there will be no 'great crash' regarding video games. Yeah, there will be thousands of lay offs, who cares? There will be hundreds of video game companies fold, who cares? Because there will be hundreds of more video companies that will fill the void, and need hundreds and thousands of employees. The video game industry is the biggest entertainment industry in the world. Big corporations will continue to buy up and kill established franchises, so what! We as players will just move on to the next thing, no big deal. There will be from now on as far as we can see into the future more good video games made than any of us can play, oh wait! That's how it is now, I have more video games in my backlog than I could play in maybe ten years. lol No, the video game industry is not in danger, we as players will have our fill of games going forward, no worries at all. Who care about live service games? I play Destiny 2, over 900 dollars spent, nearly 6000 hours, I don't care if D2 goes down the drain, I have had my fun, I will play other games. I hope D2 survives, but if it doesn't who cares? Who cares if Bungie dies? There will always be good games to play.

@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire 3 месяца назад

I like to think that Bungie has accidentally found a way to wipe out their competitors without lifting a finger: They made a game in Destiny so influential that multiple games _try_ to be the “Destiny Killer”, but only destroy _themselves_ because they’re chasing a fad without committing to the facets of it that make it work for Destiny in the first place.

@fabiopauli420 3 месяца назад

27:20 so technically the most powerful weapon in the universe (a green lanterns ring) can be used by anyone with enough willpower atleast temporarily. What i think they tried to imply here is that, the ring recognized, once disconnected from John that his hosts vision and with that its own vision, was altered momentarily allowing King shark to wield it to undo the shield around Brainiacs(The Rings are powered by an AI) this would explain atleast a little bit why the Green Lantern corp hasnt shown up yet because they would definetly have an interest in a rogue Green Lantern. The Ring than turns on Kingshark to get an actual new host later. What is why the construct tries to attack the squad This would be a consistent explanation with the comics however i think im just giving the writers to much credit here

@DagothDaddy 3 месяца назад

If the story was as they take out each of the heroes they reflect on what they stood for and come to each embody one of those aspects themselves that could have been great. That is one of the best story lines in DC comics the Earth 2 story line Brainiac wipes out the original Justice league so now new heros and villians have to fill to void and grow into those roles. Instead it's just "Kill hero make a joke about "Oh um actually that hero sucks." move on until the end of the game now grind for what was obviously going to be a MTX currency if this game out on it's originally announced date.

It's gotta make me say "Okay, I need to budget my time away from Warframe for this." Playing a live service is a lifestyle and you can only devote so goddamn much.

An established universe with characters that have signature weapons and outfits doesn't seem suited to be turned into a looter/shooter in my opinion. Having a blank slate character probably works better like Destiny did with Guardians. Even too much of a story revolving around your character's personality makes it restrictive. I prefer just being a nameless character playing a small part in a bigger overall story so I can make it more my own.

They were placing you in the role of the superheros you came to love over the course of 10 years or so. Seemed like a layup.... but it failed hard sue to the uninspired level design and the halfass live service bits. Despits the character and move set variety it failed hard. In steps WB/ Rocksteady with an uphill battle from this game's inception. They decided to make a game about a group of characters that very few people give a damn about, killing the characters that we would much MUCH rather play as 🤔.... and decided to make this a live service/ looter game that gamers are already heavily fatigued with.

I think execs/devs dont realize how much time is required from the player to keep up. I stopped playing destiny 2 because it feels so lame when u stop playing for a while and come back only to have a laundry list of things to do to catch up(or content is now irrelevant/unusable). When compared to another of my favorite multiplayer games, Risk of Rain 2 (I know completely different styles of games), u can come back whenever without missing a beat. The fear of missing out on cool stuff and meta weapons makes me give up on most live services entirely. I find older and now complete multiplayer experiences are way more fun than an incomplete game that expects me to treat it as a part-time job.

@dredgenshade7137 3 месяца назад

I need to be honest here: I HATE MODERN GAMING. I don't find joy or excitement in new games. Live-service is an excuse to release an unfinished product. I miss when gaming was about passion and fun, and not about money and Eververse. The fact that games like Mass Effect, Stardew Valley, Dark Souls and others are replayable, over and over, speaks volumes. I've spent hours and hours in these old games, and still enjoy everything about them after years. Everything is worthless now. I'd rather be stuck with the old games that I have now without internet, than getting one of these poor excuses of games as a "gift". I'd insult whoever gave it to me. Also, the Rebirth, Sinestro Corps War, Blackest Night, Brightest Day and War of Green Lanterns comics are my favorite Green Lantern comics. Killing off John like that and the ring issue is bullshit.

I think that something no one considers is that, aside from consumer interest, we don't have the money to keep live service games alive. Paying 60 bucks for an Arkham game, a complete experience that you can take your time with and milk every penny's worth of enjoyment from is one thing. Paying 70-100 dollars for the BASE game, while being expected to pay MORE money in order to experience all the content the game has to bring (cosmetics ripped out of the game to be monetized in this case), is unrealistic, especially if gaming is your hobby, and you're looking forward to experiencing more than one game this year. Everyone wants their one game to replace all games and for us to spend all the money we would on other games, on their game. It's unrealistic, and it's unfeasible.

@mitchconner403 3 месяца назад

I love how people don’t understand that “live service”. Means a CI/CD pipelines and SDK toolkits. “Live service” means building a game with modern software development practices. The old games used to be built with the “waterfall” method where you set are arbitrary due date for the software to be complete. Live service allows Agile development. Building the backend of the game is literally the hardest part. Adding new levels if very easy comparatively. If you know software engineering then that will never go away. There is a difference between Live service and an rpg/looter-shooter that you have to grind for 8 days 😊 Live service literally means a game that gets continuously updated. Now, if that live service game is also a bad rpg then it is a bad game. It doesn’t mean the concept of “Live Service” is bad. The game is bad.

@abeaconintheoffice 3 месяца назад

Just make Superman Rocksteady. Bizzaro dlc with actual super powers for this game would be a nice bandaid.

I hate live service games, i'm a full time single player gamer. Even if SP games disappear, i've got 25 years of single player back-catalog in my game libraries that can sustain me for at least another 10 years. After that i'll probably find another hobby.

Flash still looks like the Ezra muller p3do... theres a GFX downgrade of note. As i am watching this video, i booted my steam and started downloading all the batman games again - side note, queued mad max as well just because of similarity in game play Thank you Evan, your content is amazing as always!!!

i refuse to preorder and will continue to do so. the state of gaming is so sad, i don’t have time to binge these multiplayer games and a lot of games are either copy and paste (i.e. madden) or just complete messes on startup, and you don’t get a solid game until years later or you have to pay to win. there’s no winning with the industry - it’s been corrupted by greed and we need another crash like 1983 to really change things. it’s up to the gamers who complain to stop buying these shit products, but you cant change stupidity, just observe it.

For how short the game is, it's really funny how quickly it gets stale in terms of gameplay

Normally me watching someone play the game makes me want to buy it. This game made me hate it. It felt tailor made to be everything i hate, from humor, writing, all the way to game play and live service.

I gotta disagree entirely with the memorial for kevin at the end when they disrespect his character and depth the ENTIRE GAME especially considering none of the suicide squad gets a honorable death besides wonder women i just entirely blame this mess on sweet baby inc

@hsizzle4502 3 месяца назад

yeah this dude lost all respect for what he said about kevin. the man was going through cancer treatment he had other things to worry about . i bet they didnt even tell him they were going to end batman like that. this guy in this video lost all respect from me with that little speil about kevin what a pathetic worthless human this guy is and he didnt once mention the woke idological slant that this game has its really pathetic tbh.

I mean, Bungie kind of led the charge on modern live service, and showed everyone that live service can in fact make a butt load of money and garner a massive fan base, no matter the state of the game at launch, so…blame them.

What's the deal with constantly using Destiny 2 as a qualifier when Warframe has been on a tear for over 10 years? Last week a report dropped that said Warframe overtook CSGO in player count on Steam or something of that nature. Destiny 2 is good, but Bungie is now worried about being completely taken over by Sony for not meeting financial expectations. Warframe is still going strong and I'd challenge anyone to say it hasn't been incredibly profitable. With that being said, what happens when gaming becomes nothing more than a live service nightmare filled with constant failures? The same thing that happened in the 80's. The next great collapse. Human nature is flawed in that it destroys anything good in order to fuel greed.

I agree with most of your criticisms, but I don't understand why you keep calling it a "Destiny killer" when they're different beasts.

The only truly successful live service I think I've ever seen is Warframe, and I'm pretty sure that's probably a mix of DE seeing the game as their baby and treating it AND the players accordingly, being EXTREMELY open about development and shit, and a whole lot of 'the game is effectively a single player game with online components' instead of the common thing I see of hinging your whole game on FOMO to try and squeeze as much money out of people as possible. I can stop playing Warframe for multiple years and not miss anything major. The story-related events are all still there, and I'll be able to play through every single one of them in order, start to finish. I stop playing Destiny for a SINGLE year and I've missed FOUR storylines that the next major DLC will hinge on me knowing in order to understand what the fuck is even going on and how half the npcs got where they are/why they're even involved. It's why I don't buy Live Service anymore. It's the same shit every time; a half-assed story wrapped in fomo and the fingers-crossed-behind-your-back promise of equally half-assed dlc's some nebulous time in the future. At least with single player offline games, I know I actually own the damn game and can play it long after the studio itself is dust.

Even tho aside from Fortnite and destiny, I HATE live service games especially when it’s games that make you pay for them along with the micro transactions too… like at least avengers made the characters feel true to themselves. Live service games just need to die, that’s not what people want…

@daviddesrosiers1946 3 месяца назад

This garbage should be the end of Rock Steady. I'm sick of studios dining for free in perpetuity based on a single legendary game they made that one time. Dice got away with making crap games because they got slapped with "legendary studio" status because they caught lightning in a bottle once.

@empyreumofficial6949 3 месяца назад

Live service games are supposed to make more money, yet, the irony is that more and more fans have been TELLING these developers what they want to spend their money on and they’re not listening. 😂 And when the fans get just another live service game, get pissed off, don’t buy it, and then upper management and writers wonder why their game failed… 🤡 it’s obvious to me, idk how these higher ups don’t get it yet.

I really like your Destiny content and hope you do well transitioning towards broader coverage of gaming. I appreciate the sentiment in this video, but there is a bunch of information here that is either inaccurate or misleading. Right off the bat, you state that "90% of games being released will be live-service in some form." Where did you get this data? I couldn't find that claim in the article you seemed to source on-screen. Even if there is a source, what does that even mean? 90% of *all* games will be live-service? What's the time-frame? Six months? Six years? 90% implies PC and console, AAA and Indie. That's an extremely bold assertion, yet there isn't any evidence to to support it. I read the report/survey that I think you're referencing (same website, different article to the one on-screen), and it doesn't make the same claim. It was a poll of gaming studios, and says "95% of game makers are developing or maintaining a live service game." That means something *very* different than your video opening. Even the actual survey is pretty nebulous in itself: - "developing" can mean QA, rendering, or a guy writing ideas on a wipe-board. How many of the ones in development will ever even be released if Sony axed TLoU online? -What defines "game makers"? Rocksteady? WB Studios? One guy releasing a mobile app? Does the data skew towards small indie start-ups, or establised AAA studios? How many of the games are released and being maintained (you could count Destiny 1 and Anthem in that) vs "developed"? - per the report: "The survey defines live services as any regular update cadence planned for a game." By this definition, any studio that plans on supporting a game with free balance updates is live-service. The beloved Witcher 3, with its free content updates would classify as a live-service game" that is "currently being maintained." Wouldn't that fan-maintained City of Heroes server count? We can only guess how big that umbrella is. I mean all this in the friendliest way, and I hope that you find success in future video essays. I'd only have three words of advice for pursuing the format: Sources, Sources, and Sources. All the best, from a fan :)
