It's Just Bad - Kill The Justice League Review

[@dionysisnance4204]

You gotta give props to how creatively they actually kill the Justice League. Batman was shot with a gun. Flash was taken out with a gun. Green Lantern died from a bullet wound from a gun. And Superman was shot with a gun.

[@ReposedAkuma]

Js? But superman has been shot with Kyrptonite bullets more than a few times in comics ect. It isn't some "lame" new concept. Also if you know literally ANYTHING about superman, Gold Kryptonite has the ability to completely remove Superman's powers PERMANENTLY. So yes, Superman dying to a bullet makes sense both narratively and as a plot device so quit whining about that 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@AverageDBFan]

@@ReposedAkumathe versions of Superman you talk about are when he’s vulnerable due to a hostage situation or in a tight situation where he has to hold back to avoid collateral damage since his full power would nuke cities with ease.

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

From what I've been hearing, the issue most people have with Batman's death isn't that it's Harley Quinn that killed him. It's the same issue I've been hearing they have with the rest of the League's deaths: they feel completely disrespectful to the characters, and that's a sentiment I agree with. Except for Wonder Woman, the Justice League dies in ways that feel completely hollow, meaningless, and even insulting, to the point where their corpses are pretty much desecrated (or close to it) in some cases. The Flash dies and Captain Boomerang goes to literally piss on his body, and while the others (maybe?) stopped him from doing it, they're all too busy commenting on Captain Boomerang's dong size to let the meoment be serious, wven though it should be serious. Green Lantern is killed, stripped naked, and left to rot, while his finger gets severed to get at his ring so King Shark can play with it. Batman is preached to by Harley about how he's a terrible person who's caused more harm than good before unceremoniously shooting him in the face. Meanwhile, even though Wonder Woman got the most brutal death, she's still the only person who got a heroic sendoff, and her death was treated as a serious and somber moment by the writers and even the Squad themselves. The way killing off these heroes is handled poorly, and you can't even say its because the protags are villains, because again, Wonder Woman was treated with respect when she died, but they're outright insulting and belittling everyone else just because. Hell, when they fight Superman, the S Squad gets VISIBLY UPSET at him for bringing up Wonder Woman's death to mock them. At best, it's unintentionally inconsistent, and at worst, it's a blatant bias by the writing team demonstrating that there's only one character in the Justice League that deserved to have an honorable death or respected following their death.

[@nd7783]

it starts to make sense why only wonder woman got respect when you realize the company "sweet baby inc" was heavily involved in the writing of this game

[@jeroenvandenhoek9860]

[@negx3933]

Sweet Baby stuff right there

[@dionstewart7394]

A lot of shit also just doesn't make sense at all. How is the shark able to just put on a dead lanterns ring and use it instantly? Why would Batman allow Harley to use his gadgets? Why would Batman allow those gadgets the SS uses to be in the museum and fully functional so that any random person that decided to break in could use them? I get that the SS doesn't like the heros, but to the point of almost pissing on the Flash, and chopping his finger off is crazy disrespectful. Batman is one of if not the best tactician in DC, why is he sitting back taunting the SS instead of lurking in the shadows actively sabotaging their plans? There's so many dumb ass calls made in this game. The disrespect is a whole other story.

[@satchking6861]

The thing with the Lantern ring not vanishing. Its more likely the writers just straight up didnt know that mechanism. Because the ring is also supposed to choose the user, and the user is not just immediately capable of manifesting a giant shark so easily. Poor research explains all of this.

[@russellpuff1996]

I don't know Lantern lore, but shouldn't the ring have also left John while under mind control? Shouldn't it be able to recognize that the ring bearer is no longer in a state of worthiness? Can the ring be controlled by Brainiac to stay put?

Nah it’s sweet baby INC which is a feminist writing company that writes games. They could’ve taken a whole different approach with this game but ofc they made it to sht on the male characters and clown their deaths and make Wonder Woman the only one to not be corrupted and gave her a sad death.

[@O.C.P_officer77]

Just so y’all know. Rocksteady was working on a multiplayer game until WB hand them the license to the game and it’s believed SweetBaby Inc stepped in about after 4 years of development and they are credited for “working on the script of the game voice logs character backgrounds and diverse representation” which is why Dead Shot is now a different race with no explanation. Who knows how much control they had. There are projects that are coming out on Xbox that SweetBaby inc has full control of so it’s possible they had full control of the script for this game they also had full control on the script for Saints row reboot and that game in someways strikes a lot of familiar cords in my opinion

The thing to remember is this is not the same rocksteady, different employees and essentially a different studio and imo as someone who does care about Arkham and just Batman in general the writers for this game clearly did not have much respect for the Arkham universe or really any of the league members besides Wonder Woman it seems like, yes her death was “worse” but it was presented as sad whereas the others were made into jokes or in the case of Batman a speech from a character that has quite literally been taken out in one hit, and bested by Tim Drake who is the least skilled combat wise when it comes to robins (he’s not unskilled just the worst of the best if we’re talking fighting skills) but it shows how absurd it is that Harley is the one that took out Batman, and furthermore that the squad even stood a chance against the league, but at the end of the day it’s just bizarre that they connected it to Arkham when they obviously weren’t concerned with sustaining the legacy of Arkham at least that’s how it seems to me and not to mention sweet baby inc. was involved… if you know you know (sorry for the novel💀)

So this is dumb but I have to ask do you not kill Aquaman in this game is he not on the Justice League?

[@mikesmith145]

Arthur isn’t here

[@S_raB]

Season Pass content maybe.

[@blackbeardjay79]

A batman beyond video game from "rock steady" would be lit now that u mention it

[@S_raB]

Batman Beyond game would be freaking insane! Maybe if they don't get closed they will figure out why this game crashed & why Arkham Trilogy is lauded as one of the best game trilogies ever.

[@No-vq1iv]

The circumstances aren't different, both CP77 and No Man's Sky were boring snoozefests at launch, same as this game. That hasn't changed, but gamers are so stupid they'll see any minute improvement as a "Redemption story". If CP77 had launched in it's current state, people wouldn't stop whining about how bland a dumbed down it is, same as they did with Fallout 4.

[@MrRobeStern64]

Great video as always but you know how in the manhunt video you said you got manhunt on the PlayStation 4 would it work on ps5 or no?

[@DSBJR22]

If you want a good “justice league gets mind warped to evil” watch justice league vs teen titans animated movie. Unlike this games story they treat our hero’s with respect and they actually get SAVED. Instead of just outright shot and killed.

[@Jacksonvillekids]

Possibly the shortest “ the good” section I’ve seen in a fuzzy slippers video 😂

[@sighbatsu]

This game is certainly an "I'll wait for a steep discount later on in the year." Such a shame, let's hope the Wonder Woman game coming from Monolith soon (hopefully) is less of a disaster.

[@STOPTHECLOWNS581]

Or never buy it at all because that money will still go to the creators of this trash and why would you waste your time playing this when you could be playing much better games

[@Seoul_Soldier]

If this game didn't have recognizable characters nobody would have even cared.

[@EmpShaddam]

The attention to the lore, king shark, picking up Green Lantern‘s ring in fully utilizing it. No, that’s not how the ring works. The ring shoots off somewhere like a bullet to the next wearer it chooses yes, you could say it chose king sharp but no, it would’ve shot off to his hand in sense when does kryptonite not affect Superman brainwashed or not sweet Maybe, Inc. and the riders for this monstrosity of the gang is a joke to all of the Arkham games that came before it

[@NostalgiaNet8]

It's sad how they spat on their own legacy in this game.

[@LethargicGM]

It's not their legacy. All the devs involved with the glory days of rocksteady are gone.

[@theraymunator]

2:27 What? Why would the game even need Denuvo? It's a live service game!

[@mrowley7300]

Guarantee we as customers will get the blame for the game failing and the game has no problems

[@czaczaczar]

This is how you ruin a franchise. The Arkhamverse was already great ffs.

[@BladePlays21]

I’m hoping sefton hill makes an invincible game, so it’s similar to Superman, but away from WB

[@ichigokurosaki1081]

Hey I'll take as much Kevin Conroy as I can. This was his last role. Always will be the best Batman

[@kentown8115]

I dont get why they would undermind arkam trilogy and origins with this being in arkam verse doesn't make sense, it's like Warner never knows to stick with one image/vision plan...

[@vercoda9997]

You sound like Steve Buscemi! That's not a bad thing, just saying.

[@shinobaywind]

This game is ASSSSSSSSS!!!!!

[@DinoDave150]

AVGN's review.

[@Hewhodoesthemachines]

They should’ve just made a dc earth 3 that you fight the crimes syndicate I hate this game because they’re making it less over rare occurrence where DC heroes turn bad. I was okay with the dark Multiverse and injustice, but like they’re making more universes with evil justice league. This is so stupid I wouldn’t even get this piece of shit if it was free I knew it was gonna be bad since they announced it with evil Superman in the trailer it’s probably just me getting fed up of evil Superman because a lot of people think Superman has are boring character when those people are probably not human people because Superman is the most human member of the justice league

[@RacerC45]

Do you honestly think this is worse than Batman: Dark Tomorrow or Superman 64?

[@EchoDoctrine]

You nailed it, game is boring & uninspired, story sucked big time, save your money folks.

[@redthewifeyhunter4034]

Green Lanter’s ring kinda confuses me. The ring should actively disallow Jon to be able to harm innocents. And I’m not talking about the Suicide Squad. I mean the citizens. The ring isn’t like the Red Lantern Corps which allows bloodshed. The Green Lantern ring should stop Jon from that. Probably even leave Jon if I remember correctly the way the ring works

[@charlesdowney2834]

Indeed John would be powerless and if his ring did allow for such murders we shouldve seen another green latern as lore wise they wouldve been alereted and the guardians would want that stopped asap but they refused to read comics for further insight as ive come to find out

[@redthewifeyhunter4034]

@@charlesdowney2834 they could have had John as an ally like Wonder Woman and die by Superman’s hands. I don’t want the JL to die but if you want the narrative that the JL is entirely dead, then having an unbrainwashed John fight against Brainiac is a better idea so it provides a bit more actuality to lore instead of the refusal to keep to the lore of a Lantern Ring.

[@charlesdowney2834]

@@redthewifeyhunter4034 oh I definitely agree this game had massive potential had they simply not said it's part of the Arkham universe and shared the same care for these characters

[@charlesdowney2834]

@@redthewifeyhunter4034 in my opinion i think they should've done hal not because i dislike John but it implies hal is dead and I do like John better but I feel they should've allowed it to be some sort of self sacrifice like it make sense lore wise braniac would try to kill them after there mind control is broken plus you could even say they're tired after there fights with the squad

[@redthewifeyhunter4034]

@@charlesdowney2834 i thought John was before Hal this entire time. Huh. But having Hal would probably make more sense if you think about it. Also as a side note: You cannot convince me that Batman DIDN’T have some sort of gadget that resisted Braniac’s mind control

[@gamesandmoreAA]

Very in depth review, take my sub.

[@FaizalKuntz]

I love how this game can make more money for the company even after you pay and end the game. One of the profitable game of all time.

[@Oldschool1943]

correction: arkham origins blackgate sets up Suicide Squad

[@santiagocanovas1570]

Finally a review that talks about on how the characters are just the same besides their traversal

[@supert2287]

It definitely shouldn’t have been so pricey for how short the story/gameplay is

[@TheMorning_Son]

Is Suicide Squad an alternate universe?

[@hunterhancock5221]

No exotic weapons? Oooof

[@Philly2Corpus]

60fps in this era...hahahahahahahahahahahashahaahahahahahahahahahahaha C.R.E.A.M....and thats the problem with modern gaming...im 52...i was around in the beginning of console and this era is just the worst...its about fun...not money..fun equal more money...not live service or micro transactions... oh by the way...i need a cyberpunk 2077 review...unless i missed it...

[@ze.ke811]

i really liked this video, you really went into great detail into the mechanics of the game, how the story went, and why you felt the way you did about the game. this was a fun watch!

[@GuyGamerz]

Really good breakdown man. Subscribed

[@theletterd]

5:00 he did it in Lego Batman 3 too fam😭

[@Karma-wb7et]

If you see Sweet Baby Inc. is involved in a game, you can automatically know that the game will be trash. Sweet Baby is today's LJN. LJN, for context, was an infamous game company that made shitty licensed games during the NES and SNES eras of gaming.

[@NatePhillips-c6s]

LJN stands for Laughing Joking Numbnuts

[@TwinkleTheRaccoon]

You started the review by saying you upset at the direction they took because of the arkham series. I have seen to many reviewers upset about that purely but who cares gotham knights was for worse the handling of batman this one ends the arkham universe with batman but why does that matter after we all understood it was finished with arkham knight. To cry about how it handles tieing in and the direction that just means you expected and wanted a diffrent story I don't feel your taking the game for what it is and the story they chose not the one you hoped for

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I dont understand why they made a suicide squad game instead of a Justice league one

[@aersla1731]

This game actually has pretty good ratings on steam. It's interesting thought it would be more one sided than it is.

[@kreitzen3035]

The most recent review is a negative. The one next to that is a positive saying "wait for a discount". Clicking on "Browse All Reviews" shows me that more recent reviews have been negative and...actually have content to them and aren't just blind, blank reviews. Others that sound especially reasonable urge people to wait for a sale as it's current state of optimization is not that good. Meanwhile most of the positives say it's "fun gameplay", "fun traversal", "fun gun", "fun shooty" or a variation of "Good brainless shooter", "I love looter shooters", "pew pew", "don't listen to haters", "step on me mommy WW". Some are, oddly enough, echoing criticisms found in negative reviews but still recommending the game. All in all, this is better experienced on a deep sale (80% off or more) and with no connection to the Arkham games whatsoever no matter what James Gunn wishes (he apparently wants his DC multiverse interconnected or whatever).

[@RacingSnails64]

Apparently the negative reviews are being deleted
