[@dialexthesmoreeater7687]

The game would of literally be saved if we just didnt have guns unless you were playing Deadshot. Every character should have their own unique weapon so that they can just put loot mechanics behind the character based on what you were using. Like King Shark gets a magic necklace or something, or Harley has her bat. And every character having the traversal would be dope if there were no zits. Just enemies that have no weakpoints. Like getting a Legendary Boomerang or something with special abilities that are homage to other characters, like a “Scarecrow Boomerang” or something that makes enemies run in fear when hit. And then every character plays completely different

Go wipe out the maniacs so it might EVENTUALLY get reclaimed." You grind thru missions, chasing Joker all over til you finally catch him and have Waller force him into the Squad. Simple, DIFFERENT and actually would feel like they added Content to the game instead of just offering new incentives to do the same three missions over and over again

The fastest way to unlock Joker is to play the killing time mission, get up to incursion level 38 - 45, and extract. Once you do that, you will go up +10 levels.

I'm fine with not given a new character right away but to spend 4+ hours to grind to a specific level to be able to do the mission that gets you the character instead of just giving a story to follow to unlock the character makes no sense to me (well, I wouldn't say makes no sense. It makes perfect sense to me cuz it's a live service game and they need player engagement somehow), but to make people grind or just straight up pay for the character is dumb and greedy. Also, you get very little narrative about the Joker in the game. You start the new Season, get thrown in and are told about the Joker and Brainiac wanting to get the Joker from an Elseworld and are told to go rescue him. That's it. No major backstory about the Joker except that he was part of his world's Suicide Squad and like one other thing that I won't spoil. That's it. Nothing else. You grind to fight Brainiac. Get like 1 cutscene, and then you unlock the Joker to do the same grinding you did before Season 1. This game will go the way of Avengers and die after all the Year 1 content is released then, WB will drop the game and shift Rocksteady solely towards making failed live service games.

It's very clear when a game has issues, and a game with a score of 5 will still please some but overall it's not good enough. Suicide Squad looked horrible right out of the bat in how they handle the combat, so unless they do a major overhaul i will never even try it.

I unlocked joker within ONE single hour. Fought Brainiac within one single hour. Don't rely on the map missions. Do killing time, get to mastery 30-33, and get out. It'll take you maybe 10 min to do so and you'll level up about 6 times, sometimes more each time. The ONLY returning incursion mission is Ivy's invasive species, the rest are all new (for incursion missions anyway). Incursions do contribute to fear level and is the main way to level it up. Yes, the enemies are the same purple goobers you've been fighting but the mutators are different, making them FEEL new. You will have to use different stratagies with these "new" enemies to defeat them. They are the same model yes but they are VASTLY different. At this point, Rocksteady could come out and say they're going back to the Arkham series and are giving everyone who played this game a blowjob and people would still not be happy. No matter what they say, they will receive hate. I agree they should have been more transparent as to how this would work but no matter what they said, people were going to be upset. I DO agree that the narrative of this DLC is VERY VERY lacking. You get two cutscenes and THAT'S IT. If you wanna learn more about this joker and his world, better go hump the Riddler for a while. When it comes to that shop discount, you can relate it to the emotes of the other characters (which do run about $8 per emote) This is actually a pretty good discount for a bundle of 4 emotes. I doubt anyone will really see this comment or come close to even reading all of it, but I have to end it with this. I have played all of Rocksteady's games, front to back, up and down. I have fun with this game. I have fun playing it solo and with friends. It is a fun game! It is however not perfect AT ALL! It has poor optimization on console and pc, It can get boring quite quickly for a lot of people, It has some social commentary stuff I don't much care about, and it is a bit grindy. I am not a shill for this game and I don't want to be, but the amount of hate it's getting seems a bit strong. I feel like at this point, if you don't HATE this game, you're the minority, and your opinion is completely invalid. It's just more clickworthy and popular to hate something than it is to like it. Season 1 did not save this game.....I'm still excited for season 2 and will be having fun playing it.

[@thereseemstobeenanerror1219]

Wouldn't be surprised if support gets cut off before they can actually attempt a season two.

[@theyoker2425]

Neither would I, but if it does come, I'll be having fun. @@thereseemstobeenanerror1219

[@nexttimothee]

Finally a worthy comment, I swear people who haven’t even played this game just jumped on a hate train for some clout

[@asain3586]

​@@nexttimothee Obviously when they killed superman game for this trash live service that's not even good

[@megamandrn001]

I think you're missing why people hate this game: Rocksteady is not a studio and DC is not an IP that deserves or needs a game that is sort of fun for a bit and the hippity hoppity is well done but the rest of the game is mid or straight up bad, especially after 7 years. This isn't what anyone wanted after Arkham Knight, everyone told them loudly and constantly what they DID want, in addition everyone told them that if they did *this* it would end in disaster, and they just didn't listen, thought they knew better, and now nobody wins. People hate this game because it's corporate ignorance coming in and peeing all over their customer base, and if you're really not a shill, you should understand why "But the hops are good!" isn't a decent rebuttal to that. Nobody cares.

[@ShopperKungVtuber]

another thing i don't get about this game the skin costume. it like here Joker wear Batman costume, King Shark wear Superman costume, Harley wear Wonder Woman costume etc. like why are we want to have these villains characters wear our fav heroes coutume? like if in Batman Arkham we get to unlock Superman costume for Batman like are we should like playing Superman instead?

[@HippeusOmega]

"It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Oh, what the heck I'll laugh anyway, AHAHAHAHAHA!"

[@megamandrn001]

I cannot stress enough this first DLC is like what Avengers got when its fate was already decided and all resources had been yanked post Wakanda. I also can't stress enough that Avengers handled DLC better, you could play new characters immediately.

[@iRushAIways]

The new season is a little lackluster and I was a partial defender of the game. But if anyone is looking to unlock Jonkler quick you can unlock him in just over an hour by playing the Killing Time mission twice. Was definitley underwhelming though that the only story content was a brief cutscene of the Jonkler being recruited..

[@RipPerry]

grinded a couple hours just to unlock joker and play the same missions you were grinding with a different character

[@Montesama314]

Very on the nose that the mission is called Killing Time.

[@iRushAIways]

@@Montesama314literally 😂shame the update didn’t bring much though other than reskinned missions we’ve been playing since launch

[@Paperinukke]

wait wait wait... does he not interact with anyone at all? is he just "there" if you want to replay the story? what a scam

[@ellisr.kinnear164]

Luke man I genuinely love your videos and content - please man don't touch this game any more I'm worried it's gonna break your

[@henryjohnson-ville3834]

I agree!

[@subfloor2022]

Is it just me or does Metropolis not look like a city at all? Just a odd mash up of buildings and pipes.

[@Abel_Unstable]

Kinda funny how this Jonkler looks more like Saint Row 4 custom characters.

[@goblinounours]

Even the "Joker-themed" map looks bad... the big primitive shapes covered in gift-textures, that is so un-inspired, when you compare to the madness the Joker is known for in the Steelmill of Arkham City and in the dream section of Arkham Origins where he talks about his origin story.

[@tonydeluna8095]

I may wait till the price drops. But I’m glad that Luke is giving this another review shout out to him.

[@iamgamer5879]

It makes you appreciate the characters that were added to Marvel's Avengers.

[@PictorialElk]

I understand that the business practice of this game isn’t the best. But the fact they are giving a new character for free does earn some props.Yes there is a grind but I think that is a fair price for a new character. Looter shooters like borderlands will make you pay almost the same amount or more for a new character. Yes borderlands is better, but I do see this as growth and hopefully this game keeps on adjusting so we can have a game everyone will love, because I do still see potential.

[@asain3586]

This is not warframe to grindwall a free character behind a crazy grind. Warframe make sense because that game is FREE TO PLAY

[@snipersXclanleader]

He’s the joker babyyyyy

[@myriadmaestro572]

“It’s not bad.” That’s a nice way of saying fucking terrible.

[@anthonyherrera7161]

At this point Rocksteady should make a plan to make an ultimate edition with all the seasons and gear for free at a discount price and make it offline, then maybe just maybe they can make some money off this game I’m still hurt on how this game turned out

[@HeismanJax]

Love this video. We need to raise the standard, not lower it. And we can’t let them get away with it when studios deliver final products like this. Thanks for not holding back, even though you’re a fan of the studio.

[@daftlife6569]

Thanks for informing us still of this game Luke! This game continues to baffle me.
