#DOAG . Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered.

I guess the writing can be good with some of the character acting and interactions, but it abysmally fails and sucks bad at everything that matters. The writing seems like trash with a few sprinkles on top to try and distract.

    This one is rather depressing... Not only because of this being Kevin Conroy's last role, but also the fact that this may very well torpedo Rocksteady's reputation for good, all that talent, such an amazing take on the DC universe, and... They decided to attach this cancer to it... I think the worst part is that this one is taking the worst aspects of the live service slop: Turning everything into a chore, hoping to turn this one game into a lifestyle game, or worse, a job... When this stuff starts to feel like a job, like you gotta plan your day around not missing the timed stuff or grinding for whatever crumbs of slop they are willing to give you, it's the moment whatever fun this game could be died in its tracks.

They killed off a lot of their potential main characters, and if they say its all just multiverse stuff then what was the point in killing them anyway? It was a terrible idea to begin with, and Rocksteady will be forever tarnished. I bet they could have made a good superman game instead, but instead we get this rubbish.

    In regards to Kevin Conroy in this game: I suspect that he actually wanted to do this, mainly because lots of actors love getting to do alternate takes of characters they've done before (stretching creative muscles, so to speak.) However, the attachment isn't just to Conroy: this was the Batman fans had played as for 3 epic games, and a fourth good game in 'Origins'. There was nothing Epic about this death: it's just putting him out of his misery. That, just, HURTS. Thankfully, it looks like this isn't Conroy's last hurrah: he's listed as being in "Crisis of Infinite Earths, part 3". Hopefully, that will be the sendoff he deserves.

    I turely am baffled at how big corporations think just making a live service game that's so damn generic like the Avengers is a blueprint to success when the big 3 live service PvE games (Destiny2, Division 2, and Warframe) all quickly had to find out and adapt to a lack of content on release and had to quickly make both content that was unique, and an end game that's somewhat robust almost like an MMO in some ways. You can't release a game as a live service and have it be "do story missions with modifiers" the game.

    This has to be the most blatantly DOA AAA game ever released in recent memory. EVERYONE knew this thing was doomed from the get-go. Let's run down the list: 1) It's a live-service game that demands constant internet connection. 2) Gameplay is the same, tired shooter, grind fest that had been proven to be a failure time and time again beforehand. 3) It's a sequel to a series of acclaimed games that already had a conclusion, only to completely undo said conclusion and utterly demolish their legacy. 4) It revolves around slaughtering beloved heroes instead of playing as them which is what most players would want. 5) Despite a seven year development period, it was a buggy unpolished mess that people struggled to actually play. 6) It came out right after Batman's much loved actor's real life death making the whole thing seem even more tasteless. I know I can't pin the blame on Rocksteady since no one could have known what would have happened to Kevin Conroy during development, but the fact remains that no one wanted this game in the first place and his death just furthered that point. I really hope that this crap is the final nail in the coffin for live-service AAA games coming out.

    Agreed with almost everything except for the fourth point. Alot of people do enjoy playing villains if executed correctly (pun intended). Take SWTOR for example, the majority of players are playing as the maniacal Sith instead of the peacekeeping Jedi. WB Games just really fumbled the storytelling to the point where they basically just insulted fans by deminishing the impact of the Arkham trilogy.

On the other hand, the jedi in SWTOR are just the jedi as a faction, you're not killing luke or obi-wan or yoda or any other beloved character, you're killing jedi that are original to SWTOR. If SSKTJL involved you killing every other JL member except for batman it would still suck shit but it'd at least not be as insulting to the arkhamverse or the character of batman because the other JL were never introduced as characters in the arkham series, the only way to do an arkham batman death successfully would be to make it super heroic, like a sacrifice or some shit, not some D-B tier losers killing him.

    Honestly I feel that Suicide Squad as a concept was perfectly viable, but do agree that they are really over using Harley in it. She works fairly well as a villain in Batman as well as other DC heroes settings from time to time, but the anti-hero version of her they've been pushing in recent years has never really worked in my opinion. It almost makes me wonder of some executive at WB decided she was a good character to market and now they're trying to put her in everything, acting as if she's more popular than she actually is.

Okami was an awesome game and critical darling and sold under 600k units to the point Clover had to shutter and Platinum had to open. Street Fighter 3's timing caused it to be unpopular at the start of its life and took a while to become the GOAT-option fighting game it is now considered. Earthbound lived in the cult fringes until much later in its lifespan. Many NES, SNES, and so on games took a while to get going. And lots of strong games remain niche: How many people know about 428: Shibuya Scramble? Could most people have even named Live A Live before it got remade?

The expert thought it was a joke but no, all the 'wise men' agreed with the idea, and it was up to this man to explain very calmly and patiently that Super doesn't need the cape to fly!

    Something I would say about this is something I put up on another video about this game: "Kill the Justice League" is simply not a good idea for specifically a Suicide Squad game, or at minimum how it was presented. The #1 story I always think of for the Suicide Squad is Task Force X from Justice League Unlimited, one of the better uses of the characters. In that episode, Task Force X (the Suicide Squad's name in that show since they couldn't use suicide) are tasked with infiltrating Justice League headquarters to steal a magical living artifact called The Annihilator for Amanda Waller and the government. The squad is pretty low powered with guys like Clock King, Captain Boomerang, Plastique and so on. They have to plan around the idea of avoiding the Justice League's heavy hitters, specifically striking the HQ when only three "major" superheroes (Green Lantern, Captain Atom and Martian Manhunter) are there and they have to rely on subterfuge to get what they want. They cause a distraction by blowing up the HQ's generator to draw away Captain Atom and when they do get into a fight it is against more street level heroes. And when Martian Manhunter appears it is dramatic and even scary (since we are following the villain's perspective): Descending from above, eyes glowing and asking if they *really* want to do this. They even end up having to sacrifice a member to escape, since the Martian Manhunter can largely take on the team (The Annihilator helps even the odds). In my mind, that's what I wanted from a Suicide Squad game. Give me something like Metal Gear Solid (MGSV sold 6 mil units in two months, Warner could definitely make money off of it) or Hitman, stealth action stuff. Instead of shooting the Justice League head-on, having to use other plans and avoid them until the time is right. Imagine having to avoid Superman's gaze as you sneak around to, say, set up some big tech device Lex Luthor had out of kryptonite to harm him or depower him enough to fight. Having to support Wonder Woman, who being IN the game could easily be used, in order for her to actually deal the killing blow. Stuff like that. A Suicide Squad game shouldn't be about confronting them face on! I have plenty of other complaints but I think a big thing is that they just made the wrong game for the property they were doing.

    After reading some comments, if SBI as a consultancy has no real power to the development of the games, then why does it matter they were part of successful titles like Ragnarok, since they are negligible? If they can't sway the studio, why even hire them? Genuine questions towards the consultant worker.

    I should mention: Kevin Conroy loved playing evil/corrupt Batman. In various interviews he said it was a great way to explore the character and show people what they liked about Batman... by removing his empathy. He had finished recording years before his passing, so I doubt he knew this would be his final video game performance. He and Mark Hamill will play Batman & Joker in one more DC animated movie, so keep your eyes peeled for it. RIP Kevin Conroy.

    The Joker In this game is same if not worse that Leto's version. The Jonkler. Compared to the original of Arkham is just insulting. Apart of how they killed Batman, it was also another part that was really awful for me. It feel they hated Arkham and what made it great. Pure hate showing completely in Harley's speech before killing Bats.

    The thing that separates this from Marvel's Avengers is that even though both these games are functionally singleplayer with a ton of unnecessary live service shit tacked on, Avengers actually was a decently fun game that made all their characters play like you'd expect, the story was trash, the progression was trash, the live service was trash, even the combat itself had issues but at least you could play characters like Iron Man or Thor and actually feel a little like Iron Man and Thor. Suicide Squad was just a generic 3rd person shooter with a DC coat of paint. The shooting is mostly fine from what I've seen but all characters play the same. So it has all the problems Marvel's Avengers has and none of the small positives. It was doomed to fail, while Marvel Avengers I feel could've been reworked and made into a decent live service if it was given to a more experienced team.

    Given that there was a very easy out built into the story itself with its Multiverse aspect, saying that this was the Arkham games Batman always seemed odd. I mean I get it from a commercial perspective, ‘hey remember that series of games you loved? This game you’re sketchy about is linked to them’ but from a story standpoint it was unlikely to work, even if they had handed it better than they eventually did.

    Actually 🤓 while this game’s writing is booty butt cheeks and if they are clones brainiac is an idiot (bro coulda made an army) there are some details that slightly confirm they are clones like - flash missing his pinky finger before he’s brainwashed then getting it back when he’s brainwashed - the clone of Superman Wonder Woman fought got stabbed in the chest with kryptonite then most likely another clone came back to replace the previous clone - the lantern ring not being normal Again this is most likely terrible bad writing and the devs had no idea what they were doing but there is 3 pieces of evidence
