There's been much controversy surrounding this game. As someone with all the faith in the world in Rocksteady, I gave the game an honest try. Unfortunately, it is a far cry from any of the highs that the Arkham trilogy and represents the greatest lows of live service gaming.

We can now add rocksteady to the list of once great developers that died because of the live service genre alonside bioware with anthem, crystal dynamics with avengers, arkane austin with redfall, platinum games with babylons fall

@Pengun3 5 ай бұрын

Arkane Austin is quite literally just Arkane, you don't need to separate it, Arkane Lyon allowed the game to be published even if they didn't develop it, and didn't stop it from reaching release even despite multiple years of development. Though I also wouldn't say Arkane is dead, Redfall is really their first mistake.

It's no longer rocksteady. Is a whole new studio in name only. Just like Redfall. These studios are being taken over by activists who rather change what came before to fit their beliefs. They believe they can actually change this stuff we love and grew up with by making it better with their idea of how these characters should be. Instead of honoring the characters they believe they can make em better with their version of it. Fire these people before they ruin everything. Stop being afraid to call them out. They hold no power over any of us. Call them out, don't buy their crap even on sale. Get them fired just like I would be if I done trash work for years on a project.

I have heard an opinion from a game developer's rant video that, in the industry there's a trend where game consultants will always advice and push for game companies to make live service/Games as a Service (GaaS) games, because that's the one big thing of the future that makes the most money. If you think about it, chasing trends has always been a thing in the video game industry, very similar things happened before when MMO got the bust, or Battle Royal, or any other bust word new genre got heat. Nowadays it's simply that most games take many years to develop, that the results of "following the trend" comes out years after the concept was trending in the first place. What is unfortunately the case is that as video games get more and more expensive to develop both budget and time-wise, each project has to justify itself with ever higher profits projections, which led to most companies trying to achieve it with chasing the most theoretically profitable models possible, which is usually the big new trend of the time, be it MMO or Battle Royal, or now GaaS.

My thing about Batman is he said he was proud to call Tim Nightwing but in Arkhamverse Divk Grayson is Nightwing? Plus he doesn’t have the same look as Arkham Batman so are they in a alternate universe?

You’re point about the modifications in side missions is very true, but once you finish all the Support Squad missions and move to just doing endgame versions they literally completely get rid of the modification system and you play them normally which is hilarious. It’s like Rocksteady knew they were awful and let you free from their grasp once you finish them.

How so? Most of the higher up DC Villains tend to see Batman as a threat. Darkseid even tries to recruit Batman just as often as Superman. Having Wonder Woman and Superman would be uninteresting overall since both are Gods. Why not have Batman shown as a villain once in a even though Superman tends to be a villain the most within the Justice League founders?

@@chris9206 even Darkseid underestimated Batman before he proved himself. It’s way more interesting to see a man like Batman take down god like threats, and use every trick we seen him use and new ones he came up with. it’s his universe it makes sense he has a bigger role compared to the other heroes. Also could just turn him evil towards the end by making him break his code.

Honestly, I think we are actually seeing that in the rear view mirror. The live service model has already been dead for a very long time. I’d even say it began the nosedive when Destiny 2 launched bad, but you just saw this mass production because AAA followed a trend that was already dead. What is absolutely insane is how blind rocksteady were in even beginning this project when live service was already dead. BioWare scrapped pretty much the whole of Dreadwolf and made a handbrake turn to avoid this, Microsoft dumped Redfall early to get rid of it, and Naughty dog scrapped theirs completely. It beggars belief rocksteady didn’t read the clear and obvious signs. We are rapidly entering the age of the Indie and generous game. Baldurs gate, Pal world, Manor Lord, Dragons Dogma. I don’t think there’s a Micro transaction in sight. I’ve heard zero about FIFA or whatever the hell it’s called now, from the last I heard their sales are down. People got sick of starting their teams over. There is cause for hope of anything.

I fully agree with your critiques on the combat. They really should've looked at MOBA games and DnD for inspiration when it comes to group-focused combat. There should be a tank (King Shark), a ranged "mage" that can do AOE damage (Boomerang), a hunter/sniper that does high single target damage (Deadshot), and rogue DPS, Harley. They should all have secondary classes for support and make the combat more challenging so support is actually needed. Deadshot can have a medpack, King Shark has regeneration (he has this in the comics ffs), Boomerang can have something Speedforce related for healing, and Harley can have a motivational party buff like a bard.

Even when I was a kid could make a better story than they did, clearly the owners of Rocksteady has no respect for Batman or the fandom. If I made it, I would have made the final mission let you play as Batman, and let you defeat Brainiac with him, and him resisting his mind control with the words "I am Vengeance, I am The Night, I am Batman!"
