Nine years after the release of "Batman: Arkham Knight", developer Rocksteady has finally launched "Suicide Squad: Eliminate the Justice League" (hereinafter referred to as "Eliminate the Justice League") in 2024 after going through the ups and downs such as the departure of the main creator, the change of team blood, and the bounce of tickets for several years. As a service-oriented third-person brush-and-gun game, "Destroy the Justice League" is famous for its plot that has received bad reviews from players, so much so that fans and players are worried about the future of the "Arkham Universe" and the future of developer Rocksteady, so what about the game? Let's see this article for you one by one.
As the name suggests, Suicide Squad: Destroy the Justice League is all about having you play as a member of the Suicide Squad to eliminate the members of the Justice League. In the game, Amanda Waller, the leader of the Suicide Squad, discovers that the Justice League is already controlled by Brainiac and intends to rule the world, so she sends the Suicide Squad to eliminate Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Superman one by one, and in the end they actually do it.
The death of various superheroes in the game detonated this game, and the death of the hero itself was enough to make fans feel distressed, and as a result, they had to be teased and ridiculed by the villains in the suicide squad, which made many DC old fans, big super fans, etc. break their defenses. Among them, Batman is especially problematic, because this Batman is the "Arkham Universe" Batman that the player has been with for more than ten years, it can be said that this Batman used to be the player himself, but in the end he was not only counted by Harley Quinn for half a day, but also was shot in the head.
The problem is in dealing with the death of important characters, Rocksteady is too child's play, too disrespectful of player feelings, is it okay to completely reenact the "golf" of The Last of Us 2? You must know that such a heavyweight IP is because of the improper handling of the plot, so that Sony will not dare to mention this game after 2019, and now it has been coldly disposed of, and players are really not wronged at all to scold Rocksteady (whether intentionally or not, the death of the Batman voice actor in reality makes this kind of banter plot even more outrageous).
As the verbal criticism escalated, more conspiracy theorists commented that the reason why the plot of this game is so ** is because Rocksteady was taken away by the politically correct group controlled by Jewish capital (that is, the Sweet Baby company in the picture below), in order to divide the society and stabilize it in order to maintain its ruling ......
Will any company really be willing to kill its own "cash cow"? (Please ignore Miracle 2).
Before the answer appeared, for a service game with a sharp decline in the number of people, in fact, even if Batman cheated the corpse on the spot now, I am afraid that the entire "Arkham universe" will be difficult to come back to life, and continuing to invest in new content is burning money. As of press time, the 24-hour peak number of Steam users of "Eliminate the Justice League" is only more than 2,000, which is not even as good as "Watch Dogs 2" in 2016, and "Batman: Arkham Knight" in 2015 has more than twice the number of people.
Therefore, the end of "Destroy the Justice League" is likely to be Rocksteady's hasty update of two chapters, and after finding that even resurrecting the Justice League will not help, the series will be hastily ended, just like the previous "Anthem", "Marvel's Avengers" and "Redfall". (The chant is not available now, don't buy it).
This is a common problem of all service-oriented games, more people can continue to update, and if there are fewer people, the service will be stopped instantly, and the current developers will not care whether you spend $70 or 446 yuan to buy the game. In this sense, Arkham Batman's death is not only the end of the character, but also the end of Rocksteady's strongest superhero game series.
