Who Were These Games Made For? 

Did I use AI artwork for my chapter titles? Sure fucking did! Call it a filler background for my talking points lol anyways what game do you think is a victim of money hungry monetization schemes? Curious to hear all of your thoughts and resentments.

*"Who Were These Games Made For?* Investors.

They're trying to make Fortnite success but anyone who plays Fortnite will forever only play Fortnite . That bus is gone and it's not coming back

Basically they’re trying to make Fortnite/GTA online. Every company wants one. It’s why there’s not a lot of focus on regular single player games.

Suicide squad in particular kinda feels like hate towards Arkham fans. Especially with Harley's speech to Batman before she "killed" him. I refuse to believe that Bruce doesn't wear a bullet-proof mask XD

An actual reasonable fan criticizing the culture itself is something I’m happy to see, good commentary

BBL Brainiac is crazy🤣

The answer is a lot simpler: Those were money sucking live services not real videogames of course they were gonna fail. Gotham Knights very obviously was going to be a live service but they chickened out and tried to take out the live service but couldn't do so enough.

soon as hollywood and wallstreet found out games could make money it was all over

Gotham Knights is the best out of the bunch. I had some enjoyment from it, where as Avengers and Suicide Squad wasn't even worth the download.

One word: GREED

Pretty good video brother.. Couldn't believe it was a smaller RU-vidr from the quality of the content

When it comes to the casting choices of Marvel Adventure, Insomniac Spiderman 2018 game features a protagonist that looks NOTHING like Tom Holland and yet it worked (especially when it came out). Had the Avengers game been good no one would bat an eye.

theres a reason why the spiderman coop game was canceled, because it would've been hard to make it work, sure the idea is cool but how many street thugs are you gonna beat up till it gets stale

I dreamed of the day I could play multiplayer story games w/ 4 players. Still dreaming.

The sad thing is, Avengers is the best out of all of these games.

To be honest, if I we're to choose between the 3, I would rather take Avenger's and Gotham Knights over suicide squad. At least those games have good story mode and not everyone uses a gun in those games, but that's just my opinion.

The answer is these games weren't made for fans/gamers but for Consumers, the ones who'll take anything without asking a single question, and are willing to pay shit ton for it. At least that's what their respective studios and/or their parent companies thought.

I feel like its not just for money but game industry as a whole .the developers have become much more inclined to not stay on same project or get recycled in and out so fast that it no longer is a tight nit team tbat makes these games. So its easier to just make the cookie cutter same game

Incredible video bro, great shit!!

4:19 Expectations & Comparisons 10:06 The Identity Crisis 17:17 Why Green Light these Games 21:07 Made for

And then you get “those” people who just say “well it made billions of dollars so you’re wrong” like bruh

BBL Brainiac is wild 😂😂😂

For me lil bro i played them all the way through except avengers

It’s not about “common sense.” It’s about money. Hire a cheaper company to make a game that makes money. It’s not about researching the product quality. It’s about researching the numbers. What games sell? How much does it cost to make a game? How can we make a game like that that cost less? They don’t know anything about games. They care about money. Additionally, we are easy marks. The fact that Fortnite is still one of the most popular games is the reason why we are easy marks. But, the problem is, we aren’t *THAT* dumb. [>

I thought I was watching some big tubers channel, keep it up man you earned a sub!

To create value for the shareholders

Outstanding quality video! Subscribed--- i have to say jm crossing ny fingers for Blade, Wolverine and upcoming comic book videogames. They need to pour more love into the game as opposed to chasing money....

I'm getting 'Im just some guy' vibes in the best way possible. Great video dude.

Great brake down man keep it up

The Shareholders.

I was happy to hear about the Suicide Squad game. I even liked the idea of killing the Justice League. However, I disliked that it was initially going to be a pay to play game. [>

“A good question; for another time.”

'Gotham Knights' is probably the only one out of all the games featured in this video that ABSOLUTELY NOBODY knew came out nor even existed. It's like the game just came and went in like a month after released.

Fantastic video dude you smashed it, it's a shame an actual decent marvel game that tried something different in Midnight Suns got barely any attention, btw it was patched and updated and runs well now at 60fps with ray tracing on consoles so give it a shot if for those that have been hesitant .

CEOs make shortsighted, nonsensical decisions and demand that studios destroy themselves chasing trends to please shareholders who honestly seem to think that a game company could somehow make the infinite money glitch work in real life. They don't care how good the product is, how badly it impacts the industry or their employees, or if it burns the studio itself down. All they care about is making the numbers go up enough next quarter to make themselves look good to ensure their next fat bonus. If it fails, then the workers who did all they could and beloved games get the axe so the studio can be sold for parts and ensure that the company can file for more tax breaks for the loss.

I love how they had two Gotham Knights projects (the game and the show) and both failed spectacularly...

I love Gotham Knights, so it was made for me. The other two … Good question.

The Fortnite affect

Gotham knights had so much potential

Not gonna watch this full video cause I’m 100% expecting to see these games get hated on so I’ll answer the question in the title for you. These games were made for me. The guy who loves comic books loves multiplayer and isn’t a super mega video game critic. Sure these games aren’t the best and all had issues what game doesn’t have any problem. Ik they weren’t the most well received or the most popular games but I put countless hours into avengers and Gotham knights with my best friend during and after quarantine. I love those games and have such fond memories of me and aiden staying up late asf cause we wanted to unlock a specific move in the skill tree for avengers or because not getting off when we are tired cause we had more crimes to do in Gotham knights. Suicide squad Was meh but was fun the first time around. I love avengers and Gotham knights and the only issue I have with them is that there aren’t more playable characters and constant updates. If you don’t like them I’m sorry and I wish u could have enjoyed them as much as I did.

Never played Fortnite never have never will and im a never say never kinda a guy.

If we being real avengers was actually decent. They just didn’t update it nearly enough and the fact that it was a live service game made a lot of people write it off immediately.

Looking forward to that red dead video. This one is good too.

I feel like live service games should only be kept as what helldivers and fortnite are made to be. Not some fun adventure or open world live service games

If you guys want a really good superhero team based game, I highly recommend Guardians of the Galaxy, it is so so good

What made SS KTJL worst is giving Arkham Batman a terrible send off

Gotham Knights and Avengers were good single player story but Suicide Squad messed up that also.

Guess what those same guys who left are the ones who wanted the story to be like that. They saw the backlash and left others to deal with their sh*tty decisions.

Remember when games came out with self contained missions ,action, dlc and multiplayer with character's we know and love? That's how I view these games. Where did this live service label come from.🤷🏽‍♂️

One good thing i can say about Knights is how it handled Harley. Its an interesting deviation and i think it shows that she can work as a full on villain , not just a henchman-woman. The voice actress was good at portaying an older Quinn who got over the Joker. Her outfit in the final mission was 10/10 design wise. And you cant tell me her prison sequence with Livin La Vida Loca playing in the background was not hype as hell

Avengers was a good game, I've completed the single player campaign and was satisfied. Gotham Knights is a good game, I've completed it solo and also played it with a friend, it was very fun

I like the idea they bring light to Heroes/Villains we barely see games for. Obviously they could have done a better job I don’t praise these games but I like the concept.

As my personal opinion as someone who tried all 3, I felt like Avengers was fun... for the first 2 hrs. Gotham Knights was fun. It was no Batman Arkham, but it was fun. I couldn't stand Suicide Squad it's so mean spirited for no reason. Keep in mind that I bought all of these on sale after the game came out

I'm actually playing Gotham Knights at the moment, and I find myself ... enjoying it. The fact I expected it to be bad may factor in, but I'm having fun nevertheless. I did also play Avengers and I did not enjoy it at all. Gotham Knights was a way more enjoyable experience to me. A bit grindy and repetitive yes, but I'm having fun dagnabbit! As for Suicide Squad, it just doesn't appeal to me at all. But to each their own. Why I enjoy Gotham Knights is a mystery to me, but ... I do.

Can't wait for the next Spider-Man 4 video.

I liked the marvel games single player, didn't force the multiplier and gave us some true comic book stories

Tbh the idea of a co-op superhero game that gets regular updates is a good idea. These games obviously didn't stick the landing. But it's still a good idea.

Avengers campaign was honestly great. Should’ve left it at that

Dope intro, video quality is A1. Great analysis. You deserve more subs 💯

Gotham Knights is by no means the game I want to see be done more with how it was presented but I honestly liked it without worrying over the grindy parts. Honestly, I got a game that I’ve been wanting to play. I’m bummed how it turned out in the end but GK may just be my guilty pleasure.

Live service for what should be single player focused games makes games bs tbh. Because for me, I enjoyed Avengers (combat) and Gotham Knights(Nightwing specifically). But the live service focus and rpg focus really ruins that type of game. Look at the Arkham games too, they didnt have suit parts that change stats. It was just new moves and gadgets to unlock and for me, thats what made it so enjoyable. Adding in that you could just change suits is way better than changing suit parts for stats.

Only played Marvel Avengers, SOLOD the whole lot. Platinum was easy once i figured out i can just run past enemies in the hives and hold circle till i hit transition, 50 hive trophy still took me 12-20 hours but cut down on the grind of not having to fight through all 5 levels. the other two....didnt even bother to look at it. never will.

Executives, next question

At least Gotham Knights killed off Batman in a proper way by having him go down in a fight with Ra’s Al Ghul. Unlike Kill the Suicide Squad where they killed off Batman by having him get shot in the head by Hayley Quinn.

i loved gotham knights. the co op campaign was so much fun

I found avengers rlly fun. I liked the story and the characters. However the promised stuff never coming and the live service aspect is what killed it. Also it gets boring quickly as most missions are the same. Gotham knights was pretty good. Story was decent and the characters were fun. Combat was cool but idk it felt too difficult to me but then again I wasn’t used to it much. What killed it was its comparisons to the Arkham franchise. SSKTJL was pretty fun. Good story (until we start to kill the justice league. When that happens it all becomes shit) and fun traversal. However the skins in shop are awful reskins and the content in season 1 is so disappointing as there just isn’t much new content. Just reused content. Overall they are ok side games to play but they are all underwhelming in the long run. I did enjoy all three and probs will but avengers and ssktjl felt too much of a grind and Gotham knights is good but there is just something about it which doesn’t look right. I rlly hope we get more games like Gotham knights and Arkham games where it has a good single player story and other characters to select and play as well. Also one thing I dislike game wise about each is: avengers for me takes AGES TO LOAD (although that could be a me problem tbh), Gotham knights felt rlly laggy on pc (again probs a me problem) and finally SSKTJL had the problem of basically every character feeling the same.

One is worse heavily than the others Right ssktjl

I think that what these developers don't understand is that if the content is good, the money will flow. A live service game doesn't have to be inherently bad but they don't care about if the story is or if the grind loop is fun and if those things were good then people will throw money at it.

I liked the avengers game to a point story was ok weird how it had sentinels in the end of the story the characters as in the original ones were mostly good when it came to combat and movement minus miss marvel Jr but Thor cap and iron man were the most fun for me especially loved thors attack with his hammer where you could pin some enemies down with it and i did like the fact of finally getting to fight the maestro even though it wasn't that great it was good seeing him if that makes sense

I'm still playing ark knights . It's definitely different. It's not completely bad . Would have been Kool to play everybody . Like all of them . Each having there own goals and story

Avengers when it was done was fun but it took so long to get there people stop caring ...they needed to do new factions and enemy types along with a more consistent rate drop of new Avengers

Therese studios should have bought the rights to X-men Legends and remade it using the PS5 power and tweaked the story just enough to make a masterpiece

As an exoprimal fan I really laughed at suicide squad. Everybody Shitted on Capcom, but money practises aside, at least exoprimal was a functional game with cool unique suits and Dinos to shoot at.

If they would have based Marvel's Avengers on the Non-MCU, it would have been MUCH better,

Who were these games made for? The MBA executives.

They show investors Fortnite and tell them that this game will get all of that golden mom’s credit card money. They never will though, that won’t stop them from trying and failing.

These games are made for money and that's it.

You can add Marvel Rivals to the list as well smh, Avengers went wrong not having enough content being live service, i think they were really worried about end game content more so than the actual campaign, Gotham Knights had no end game with an ok campaign, could've gave us multiple endings instead

i gotta say that out of that trio gothan knigts is the best

i had fun w midnight suns and guardians

I like Gotham knights it isn’t too bad. Doing my First play through right now. I enjoy it

I liked the story of Gotham Knights until the ending.

I didn't mind Gotham Knights didnt like the grindu nonsense but it was nice olaying as Dick and Barbara with an okay storu.

Gotham Knights not that bad it cool ok. The other 2 are trash buns

Me, they were made for me, my bad. Honestly I get why people don't like them but I enjoy Gotham Knights enough, I feel like it just didn't live to its full potential, and SSKTJL I have a ton of fun playing, now I just mostly come back for the DLC characters but I still enjoy it, might be the minority of people that actually enjoyed the story, just wish the JL had unique kinda long death scenes. (Avengers is just straight ass)

Gotham knights is a deccent game

video start at 1:00

60% of gamers play fortnite, call of duty, fortnite, Roblox, GTA 5. All live service games. Shareholders see that and want a piece of it.

good video

Suicide squad was made for us. It’s just WB got it’s hands all over it and monetized the hell out of it. You can even tell the developers are trying hard to put it off because they’re making duplicate skins. Like you have a few different JL costumes and a few different classic outfits Gotham knights was dead because it got compared to Arkham. If it was completely disconnected from Arkham somehow it would have been much better received For avengers. Yeah I’m not defending this.

If im being honest avengers was the most decent out of all of these

Avengers is the best out of the 3, they all suffer from the same negatives, but at least Avengers is actually kinda fun.. but only for like an hr haha

It's simple really, combine the success with Fortnite and other live service games with superheroes. The problem is that people are tired of superhero movies and devs think they can attract them with video games. Hopefully this is the end of superhero live service games.

I F’n loved Avengers

You know what is funny ever since that failure of a game called Suicide Squad came out and completely disrespected the Arkham Series Arkham Fans have been playing the Arkham Series now more than ever, also we need Lego game to come back that might just be me saying that but those were enjoyable.

The best comicbook game in recent years is robocop

What about thunderbolts kill the avengers?

Say what you want avengers was a good game, each character was unique(story & combat wise) they just lacked post game content after the war for Wakanda DLC they just gave up smh….as for suicide squad(also fun) but seems to fall into the avengers category with the lack of post game content
