Batman: Arkham Knight vs Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Video Comparison

Batman: Arkham Knight is considered by many as one of the best-looking games that Rocksteady released. And, since Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is now out, YouTube’s ‘NikTek’ shared a comparison video between them.

OK. I guess I should now give up hope for this game. I read somewhere someone saying the graphics were great. Man that just.... @#$!!

Christopher106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

There's a massive amount of cherry picking here to make Suicide Squad look bad here. The person is purposefully playing the game poorly. And it's definitely downgraded in the PS5 capture, because it doesn't look that bad.

Look, there's enough to 'hate on' in the game as it is, people don't need to play poorly to make it look even worse to make a point.

This is a dumb comparison. This is a combo shooter being compared to a combo battler but they showed nothing of what makes Suicide Squad its own game.

Stanjara106d ago

OMG you are defending Suicide squad... actually I'm not surprised.
Game is garbage, disrespecting OG Dc characters.
Should I explain, no. You already know my stance.

@Christopher
While i agree overall with your point about cherrypicking (play poorly, if that was actually the case), i think that comparing melee system was useful, because:
1. It shows how undercooked the melee system feels/looks (starting from 2:50, the player tried to start a combo and instead, it was just a mess, hits not registering, enemies flying all over the place - those 2 attacks at 3:10 should've been a hit);
2. Highlights the worse looking animations for melee system and overall lack of them (hence the inclusion of AR challenge section from Harley Quinn DLC for Arkham Knight).

Before you'll say that it's not important in a coop looter-shooter, consider this:
- they (Rocksteady) have added a melee system and Harley Quinn (known for her melee and acrobatics in previous games and in DC overall) to the game;
- they decided to make the melee system as basic as possible. Yet, they know how to make it better, they have the experience of doing so, but decided it's not worth the time and/or money.

If they would've spent more time with it and shown some care, this would not be seen as another reason to dislike the game. But now it just shows the lack of passion from them, which is disheartening, in my opinion, coming from Rocksteady.

***1. It shows how undercooked the melee system feels/looks ***

It's not a melee game, though... Heck, Deadshot's melee is gauntlet guns. The only reason you melee is to 1. pick up shield buffs after shooting in the leg or 2. to pop them up for higher chance at crit shots.

***2. Highlights the worse looking animations for melee system***

No, again, it doesn't. I have no clue how they got that singular animation off over and over, but it's not great but it's also not that and I never saw Harley do that animation in my short gameplay. They didn't show any other melee animations, just that one shitty one they repeated over and over.

Having said that, I'm not saying they're 'great' only that they're not as bad as they made it out to be with cherry-picked gameplay.

*** Before you'll say that it's not important in a coop looter-shooter, consider this: ***

It's important to rate a game based on what it is. One is a shooter, one is a battler (melee focus). Even more, Squicide is a rapid traversal/shooter game, but they showed absolutely none of that in good taste, only really shit traversal from Harley and nothing about jumping around the battlefield from roof to roof shooting.

***OMG you are defending Suicide squad... actually I'm not surprised. ***

I'm just not defending crap comparisons that aren't at all done in good faith. You can enjoy being ignorant in your opinion if you wish.

True on most points but remember that they are still 9 years apart

crazyCoconuts106d ago

Just in terms of visuals, I checked out since other YouTube videos, presumably 4K, and the graphics looked really bland. Like the lighting seems so basic and textures look bland. Draw distance looks good, and in the daylight it looks ok at best imo

bunt-custardly105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

Actually, agreeing with you here Christopher. In addition there are totally different moods and art styles for each game. Can't wait to play SSKTJL on Gamepass PC soon!

YourMommySpoils105d ago

Contradicting yourself, saying you're not impressed with Sony's recent State of Play, yet you're defending this which looks way worst than any of the games shown.

No one to blame but themselves

Are they now getting it or they still going to push GaaS

senorfartcushion6d ago

They're still pushing live services.

XiNatsuDragnel7d ago

That's on Wb and unfortunately you guys too

isarai7d ago

The main thing I hate about this garbage, is that they gamble the livelihood of these studios by forcing them to do this when they don't want to. Then when it underperforms they shut them down for something they didn't even want to do in the first place.

zaanan6d ago

Agree; however, to be fair you left out the part where the developers whore themselves out to the publishing company in the first place. When you sell yourself to the highest bidder, you can’t complain when you no longer can do what you want to do.

Relientk777d ago

Good. I don't want live service crap.

Chocoburger6d ago

They're going to try and shove more down our throats. Spit, don't swallow!

Always nice to get a pulse check from a developer you know it's day's are numbered.

Toecutter0011d ago

One word on when they plan to fix the game on consoles.

Psychonaut8511d ago

Bro there’s like 130 people playing your game, just Avengers it already.

BlackOni11d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if there were more people playing Avengers before they pulled the plug.

I don't know a single person playing this.

P_Bomb17d ago

Apparently you even have to grind to get the Joker. Lotsa questionable decisions in this one.

ChasterMies16d ago

Meaningless stat unless you tell us how many people you know.

Ninver16d ago

More than 50 on friends list. About 12 in person. Not a single one of them is playing this.
