Why would someone play GK over this ? Go play somethin really good like Arkham Trilogy.Definitely skipping this, think I'd sooner play Gotham Knights.

To your totally not alternate account (accusing you of being the other guy)What's an "account doofus"?
In this thread, you've incorrectly defined cash grab, complained that there's less racism in video games, demonstrated you have no idea what "virtue signaling" is, and thrown a temper tantrum that not everyone judges something before it's released.To your totally not alternate account (accusing you of being the other guy)
, (comma ie separate part of sentence)
doofus (calling you a doofus)
Lgbt Batman hahaha
Is this game playable offline? If not, not even worth it at $10
How did I incorrectly define a cash grab? When did I complain about less racism? I definitely didn’t mis categorize virtue signaling and I don’t think I ever threw a temper tantrumIn this thread, you've incorrectly defined cash grab, complained that there's less racism in video games, demonstrated you have no idea what "virtue signaling" is, and thrown a temper tantrum that not everyone judges something before it's released.
But I'm the doofus? Sure, buddy.
the game features these 4 well-established, distinctive characters. but - they all use guns & newly-acquired traversal abilities? so, basically, they could be anyone?...This looks impressively boring. It encapsulates everything annoyinag about modern gaming.
it looks very much to be gotham knights (which i got cheap) all over again. it 'functions', the mechanics aren't broken, everything works as its supposed to, but, yeah, where's the distinctive appeal? what makes you want be hanging out here doing this shit? maybe if we'd spent more time when we were young dreaming about killing the justice league, we'd get it?...Can’t put my finger on it but there’s something about the game that just makes it feel and look so bland and generic. It doesn’t have any soul, charm, or character.
Definitely not interested.
Depends on who you believe but; Jason Schrier allegedly swears they just had 1 cancelled AAA game before this that was not Superman (Justice League?)It took rocksteady 8.5 years to make this?
Ehi, what do you have against king shark?
Story and dialogue outsourced to sweet baby inc
Every single line is marvel cringey unfunny humor
Pre order bonus confirms it’s still a GaaS cash grab
Rocksteady metropolis and Superman with the best supersuit in any medium but you play as king shark
Arkham Batman and Kevin conroy last performance is mind controlled evil Batman in this always online garbage
Guy who got hired in 2018 tellin us rocksteady Batman games tone and atmosphere is not the studios tone but just specific to *those* games
DOA flop is so obvious and inevitable the two founders jumped ship a year ago
Glassdoor confirms this is corporate mandated garbage and the team morale is has been shit the past 5 years
Graphics look worse than Arkham knight from 8 years ago
Don’t give me that GymWolf humor right now I’m a man in painEhi, what do you have against king shark?
I love how they just keep saying "STORY STORY STORY" ad nauseum trying to convince everyone it's not a live service shitshow. "Really guys its just Arkham with the Suicide Squad and gunplay! Believe us!"
Honestly, there are a few things I actually thought looked thoroughly okay...but the mere idea of paying $70+ for a game that is an endless slogfest of grinding to get infinitesimally better stat upgrades for my weapons...hard pass. Honestly, I can't see myself doing it if it comes to Gamepass and PS+ Extra/Premium. Gotham Knights is on both of those last I checked, and I can't be bothered to even consider downloading it. Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League just looks like GK on steroids.
I sit back and think of how we could have had at least two more Batman: Arkham Origins titles to round out the story of the development of the Arkhamverse and its heroes and villains. Because for all that game's naysayers, Batman: Arkham Knight sure seemed to make constant references to it. Or something akin to a Batman Beyond game in an Arkhamverse setting. Or hell, I'd be totally up for a straightforward sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight featuring Dick in the Batsuit. There were plenty of stories from that era that could be adapted to the Arkhamverse. Instead we got this live service monstrosity no one asked for.
I stand by my prediction that there is no saving this game. It's hefty pricetag makes it DOA. If this were releasing as a F2P game, it would certainly get a lot more people at least willing to install it and see if it's worth putting some time into. But the way the entire game is designed around an MP formula that other games are doing just as well if not better, for a lower asking price and being well-established on the market, makes the uphill climb of Rocksteady's nine year effort seem insurmountable. Even if the game doesn't launch terribly, with the unrealistic revenue goals WB as a whole has, I don't see any reality in which the game will be declared a success. Expect this game to launch tepidly or worse. It'll get a big update that fails to move the needle, the asking price will plummet (I'll be shocked if we don't see a sale price of $40 or less by May 2024--remember that Gotham Knights took less than a month to hit half price offers), and then the inevitable layoffs will begin and whatever the game's post launch roadmap is will suddenly become very muddled and dates removed. Given Rocksteady's pedigree, the game may be given a chance to "reinvent" itself with a 2.0 release that makes the game either F2P or all but free and relies on its cosmetics sales to bolster it. But that's a 50/50 at best.
The bottom line is, we've seen this story play out many times before, and we'll see it again. Given how WB has absolutely no interest in making another single player game, I'd say the Arkhamverse is pretty much dead--not just for Batman but for all of DC. Because we all know the only "lesson" WB will take from this is "no one cares about the Arkhamverse anymore". It can't possibly be that they don't want to play a live service Arkhamverse game, or that they want big, sprawling, SP games featuring their favorite DC heroes and villains. Nope, the failure will never be theirs, it will be ours. We just don't know how to appreciate nice things.
I wouldn't know about the games contents beyond the surface level, but Gotham Knights is actually the whitest cast I've seen in a AAA game for a while. The only major visual incongruity from the source material is how much of a meat head Jason Todd is and that goofy haircut on Tim Drake. The interpretations of the characters are still flat and mostly suck, but they didn't stray too far from the visuals of the characters.I miss when Rocksteady was good.
I assume the reason we get this shit instead of a Superman game is a game starring a white guy (alien technically) is not woke enough, same reason we got Gotham Knights instead of the Batman Court of Owls game.
….and Wonder Woman looks like a man.
