Rocksteady was taken over and cleared out
It's currently a big AAA studio where a bunch of fresh college grads get paid minimum wage until they get replaced by another batch of fresh grads. There's no appreciable communication or coordination going on and most people working on the project know it sucks but can do nothing about it
dude i wish, speaking as a recent college grad, studios dont want you, every open position is a lead position or wants 3-5 years experience, there are no entry levels. industry is more fricked than you realize
I mean having EVERY member of the justice league shot in the head as they lie down on the ground defeated is one way to celebrate an actors 30 year tenure with a character. And no I’m not exaggerating EVERY fight is ended with the league member on their back and shot in the head, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WENT INTO THIS GAME, they had the ability to make ANYTHING they imagine come to life in the latest graphic engine and THATS how they kill EVERY SINGLE ONE!
It unironically feels like a school shooter's fanfic. >and then I killed my bully and then I made a cool quip and everyone laughed
etc.
Except here you should replace "bully" with a fictional superhero.
It’s not a reboot, it ends with being told by Luther (who presumably baited braniac to earth in that universe) telling them “alright this game is a live service streaming game, so do it 12 more times” which is funny because braniac doesn’t HAVE a unique boss fight. He’s literally just the flashes fight with a few other powers thrown in.

The writing just seems to be done by AI honestly, no one sounds like a person in this game. They just sound like pastiches of popular tropes. I’m not even offended by the deaths, it’s just ALL of them just dying by being shot is pathetic, they have animators don’t they? Did NO ONE have fun or creative ideas to end these scenes?
To me it feels like it shares writers with Saints Row 2022. Very similar cringe writing and completely unsatisfying antagonist defeats.
I may actually check IMDB to make sure if there is some overlap between Volition and Rocksteady.
Saying “it feels like AI” is just my short hand for uncreative writing of over done characters by people who have only read Wikis of them. Besides get used to the complaint because it’s going to be fully written by ai soon
The whole "was Joel right to possibly doom humanity to save Ellie" thing was a smokescreen for the actual issue: that the Fireflies went full moron and reneged on their deal, took all of Joel's supplies, took Ellie without providing payment, then sent him off to presumably die in the wilderness. Even if Ellie didn't exist at all, Joel would have been in the absolute moral right to extract payment from them by force and the Fireflies deserved exactly the retribution they received for their abject stupidity in the face of what was an absolutely gargantuan undertaking on the part of a mere paid mercenary.
It's a result of younger generations treating brands like religions. Any perceived slight against a brand/fictional character is a slight against them and anyone related.

You people baffle me
Shill damage control tactics.
You can't do the good ol' "thing was always shit anyway" gaslighting with Arkham games because it's one of the most beloved and influential capeshit game franchises of all time if not THE most, not without looking like a fricking contrarian clown anyway.
So they have to adjust it to simply "stop caring".
>bro why do you care
A good question. Why do you care? This game has already looked like trash for a long time now, it isn't worth any significant mental energy.
These characters getting shitty, rushed deaths in a shitty, rushed game shouldn't come as a surprise at all. Point and laugh and then let it flop.
He's got a point there, though. I understand that Batgays are on a level of obsessed that deserves its own tier, but shut the frick up about this, we get it, Kevin Conroy, Arkham Batman, whatever, just stop looking like a bunch of queens about it.
>hnmgrlglrgl you must be a shill if you're pointing out that a bunch of obsessed grogs are acting like a bunch of teenage girls
The game looks like shit, but you and your kind getting overly dramatic over it is even worse.
For me, I don't even care if Batman gets shot. I mean he got his back broken by Bane for God's sake. It's the fact that this was apparently the most beloved voice of that character's final role before his passing away. Imagine that, you put a lot into this role before you die, and the last thing released to your legacy ends with that character getting fricking shot by what seems to be the bad guys.
I'll give them the benefit that they actually did consider paying respects, but it's really strange seeing that right after his character is shot
>I'll give them the benefit that they actually did consider paying respects
they did that about 2 years ago, they just kept the message in the game, OP is just outrage baiting
I know this is a bait thread, but Rocksteady obviously did not know Kevin Conroy was going to die before the game came out when they offered him the role, and they were never going to scrap their planned story and all of their design and animation work after he did.
no one cares about voice actors. they arent even actors they just read lines. overpaid homosexuals. AI cant come soon enough so we dont have the same 4 english VAs in everything because they have small hats or are brown in this fricked up industry.
It's hilarious to see the obvious shills run damage control for this game on twitter by doing the usual canned shill responses like "it's not for you" or "Batman is just a fictional character" or something.
They were better off not saying anything to defend the game and it would've been a better defense.
It's on Twitter. Usually they're saying it in reaction to people who say anything negative about the game, so it's probably shills. Reminds me of a smaller version of Ghostbusters 2016 where there was that excessive overreaction to what James Rolfe said about not seeing the film/doing a review
Why are you guys acting like they killed him personally after forcing him to do this role? It's unfortunate that this is his last role but in the grand scheme he was just doing his job and collecting the paycheck.
>muh childhood
That's it. To them, it's one of the most important things in their lives, but to Kevin Conroy, it was probably just another paycheck and likely thought nothing else of it. Leave it to these kinds of people to be so aggrieved for someone else that wouldn't have given a shit because of this parasocial phenomenon where they think they matter as anything else but the audience to these people, like how actors in a shitty movie just shrug their shoulders and say "got paid, don't really care" while people online are saying things like "oh man, I feel so sorry for that actor, I hope they can recover from this."
I the Avengers game couldn't maintain momentum during a time when the MCU was at its peak, I dunno about this game made when DC's name is literally mud.
Since the game was in development for so long, is it even the last thing Kevin Conroy RECORDED for batman or is it just the last thing released with him in it?

Welcome to publisher monopolies.

yeah it’s capitalism’s fault
Make an image of this message overlayed with the scene of Harley pointing her gun at Batman. Share it on twitter or something. Watch the fireworks.
You do the Twitter-part.
they couldn't not have some kind of in memoriam
>Nooooooo the game is bad so you aren’t allowed to do a memoriam for a dead VA who participated in making the game!!!
>the game is bad
I never said that, but the gameplay doesn't hold my interest tbh.

so the game called KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE that ends with a reboot to make it all undone has you kill the justice league!?
WOW!
It’s not a reboot, it ends with being told by Luther (who presumably baited braniac to earth in that universe) telling them “alright this game is a live service streaming game, so do it 12 more times” which is funny because braniac doesn’t HAVE a unique boss fight.

More than likely they both share a connection through the DEI company rocksteady hired to work on the script
The only people who 3rd party scripts are bad companies who can't afford an inhouse writing team. DEI isn't responsible for cringe.
>DEI isn't responsible for cringe.
It basically is though
No, it really isn't. That cringe came from white people.
How much of that 315 million went towards this cringe
>that pedo symbol
Holy shit
Good lord you're right.
>It's french canadian
>he writing just seems to be done by AI honestly
This complaint is so overdone I'm starting to think it's being done by AI
Saying “it feels like AI” is just my short hand for uncreative writing of over done characters by people who have only read Wikis of them. Besides get used to the complaint because it’s going to be fully written by ai soon
Make like the Suicide Squad and have a nice day
he's not really dead. See you in the DLC.
gamers are so easily mislead
Kevin is dead.
>posthumously dunking on homosexual AIDS-riddled VA by killing his longtime role
Based DC
They're the new Naughty Dog.
joel deserved it, raider that even his bro hated
The whole "was Joel right to possibly doom humanity to save Ellie" thing was a smokescreen for the actual issue: that the Fireflies went full moron and reneged on their deal, took all of Joel's supplies, took Ellie without providing payment, then sent him off to presumably die in the wilderness.

Not at all.
Who cares, we knew this game was trash before it even came out.
Batman
Why take this personally? Batman in not real. He is a fictional character.
He didn't actually die. None of the events in the video game actually happened.
I never understood this new... thing... where people decide to pretend like fiction is real and has real consequences on peoples lives?
Is this autism? Is it just a zoomer phenomenon? Genuinely asking.
It's a result of younger generations treating brands like religions. Any perceived slight against a brand/fictional character is a slight against them and anyone related.

The shills will be drowned out when the reviews drop, just like Saints Row before it.
They are socially tone deaf. It's like they're all autists or something.
Look at the bright side, Kevin's true final role was Bruce's dad in the upcoming Caped Crusader cartoon
Why are you guys acting like they killed him personally after forcing him to do this role? It's unfortunate that this is his last role but in the grand scheme he was just doing his job and collecting the paycheck.

Shill
What happened?
years ago Rocksteady posted this because Kevin Conroy died
Anon is taking this as an offense because Batman dies in the game
Its literally the post-credit scene in the game.
And it's literally a message they posted LAST YEAR when Batman was revealed in a trailer
?t=127
they just kept in the game, if you feel offended by that you are a moron
with last year being 2022, I forgot it's 2024 already
We still have Multiversus
I the Avengers game couldn't maintain momentum during a time when the MCU was at its peak, I dunno about this game made when DC's name is literally mud.
We'll see
Wow this game was pretty damn disrespectful to Kevin Conroy
I assume every character plays exactly the same too?
Damn, this is the first time in history they killed Batman.
Since the game was in development for so long, is it even the last thing Kevin Conroy RECORDED for batman or is it just the last thing released with him in it?
