Apart from the Batmobile and Jason Todd, what went wrong?

Apart from the Batmobile and Jason Todd, what went wrong?

All of it.

Nothing. Its a very good game.

Gotham being evacuated makes it feel like Arkham City. Was hoping there was going to be more citizen rescue/patrol duty stuff.

No Paul Dini. He's not even a great writer but both Asylum and City were distinctly his work. Knight was not.

It's one of my favourite games ever. It did many things right that, unfortunately, are overshadowed by the batmobile abuse.

I honestly didn't mind the Batmobile. It's used a lot, but mechanically I think it worked well enough. It feels good to drive and the combat inside of it is fun. It's not terrible.

What killed it for me was the story. I straight up did not care about it, and the game gave me very little reason to. 100%'d Asylum, City and Origins, couldn't even bring myself to finish Knight just down to lack of investment.

>Apart from the two main aspects that nearly ruined the game what went wrong?

Gee, I dunno. The plot felt a bit truncated I suppose. Riddler trophies were the most cancerous in this game.

I hear this is going to stop in the next game, along with the "it happened during one night" scenario. There really should have been civilians in Arkham Knight, already. I mean, it's night and it's Gotham City, how many regular people are going to venture out after dark?

Yeah, I was just thinking about this the other day. What happened? They didn't want him to write the third game?

Riddler
Deathstroke
Hush
Scarecrow
Mr. FUCKING Freeze

Nothing. Even the Batomobile and Todd were fine. It was good and the waifus were perfect.

>the waifus
opinion discarded

100%'ing it felt like a pretty big fuck you.
The Riddler challenges with the Batmobile were great despite the Batmobile being overused in the game.

There was no normal people on the streets because it would be hard to play and explain Batman running over people.

The writing is kind of bad, Jason Todd aside
Many of the Riddler challenges hinge upon the Batmobile. They justify it, but its weak.
Yet again the Joker, whose blood is apparently magical.
Barbara/Tim is a tumor.
Still no free roam with any of the other characters.
The open world is not badly designed, but overly reliant on the Batmobile.

You know you want to suck AK Harley's anus, user.

the problem is what little improvement there is was drowned in an ocean of repetitive batmobile dreck. they just wouldn't let it go the whole game. when the batmmobile fights with you with the remote control shit its just so pants on head retarded. the side objectives were batmobile this batmobile that. riddler constantly whining to you to come race on his tracks. you get a lead on the knight and its im sorry master bruce get in the fucking batmobile and lower those bridges and defuse those bombs. want to get into that building? too fucking bad use the batmobile and hook up your power winch to rev up electricity to open the door. then they really had to rub it in by making you lower the batmobile underground for a fucking sewer mission. jesus h particular christ what a slog.

Joker's Blood is mutated because of venom from AA and AC. So it makes some sense. Or at least some comicbook sense. There was also nothing wrong witb Babs and Tim because he was aged up.

>Tara Strong Harley

Stong's harley is garbage for sure. It sounds like Bubbles doing a horrible Harley impression. But dat Booty tho.

Its more that its yet again the Joker with a flimsy reason. The commentary was fun, but they could have just justified it as contamination from the fear gas without the blood. That secondary plot was forced and unnecessary.
And Babs/Tim was just annoying. It felt like a cheap, tacked on way to shove Batman's callousness in the player's face.
Take it away but keep everything else as is, nothing is lost.

the excessive use of the batmobile is pretty much the worst thing about this game, everything else is almost on par with the other games

>not including Challenge Rooms at launch but as updates and DLC
>Too many challenge rooms about the Batmobile
>All characters mute in challenge room (except Harley Quinn for some reason, likely a glitch), making it lose some charm
>Too much "padding" (firefighters to save, etc)
>Barbara Gordon and Tim Drake? What?
>Did nothing with the Hush setup from City
>No free roam as other characters

I'm still surprised that even though you had team up fighting combat now that there was still no co-op. Not in the campaign, of course, that wouldn't be very practical, but in some challenge rooms it would have been fun

It did a lot right but it did a lot wrong too.

>There was also nothing wrong witb Babs and Tim because he was aged up.
That's not the issue. Tim hasn't been the "young" one for years now, not since Damian.

It's weird because they have NEVER been significantly romantic in ANY major storyline. It's usually Dick Grayson or Bruce but Rocksteady made it Tim because... it was probably Hill's favorite? It's also weird because Nightwing is pretty smug and fun in AK but Tim is boring. What was the attraction about?

Idk but This was pretty cool. Just wanted to say

Waifus were better in AC

I think people tend to rank at the bottom because they've got a bit tired of the arkham formula, they all have almost the same gameplay and combat, gliding, grappling hooks etc.. etc..
that, with those tedious tank battles as well as the horrid pc release, damaged the game mostly

No boss fights.

Is it going to have a sequel?

>It feels good to drive and the combat inside of it is fun. It's not terrible.
My thoughts exactly. I absolutely hated the Batmobile at first. Going through Riddler's track course certainly compounded that feeling many times over. But once I got used to the controls, it wasn't as terrible as I initially believed. Ended up actually enjoyable to use. However, incorporating drifting as a mechanic to slowing down the timer is still the dumbest shit in the game.

the driving Batmobile is fine, but the tank is utter dogshit

Yeah, the Mad Clown's Disease blood storyline was fucking retarded even for capeshit. And especially for a "mature" game like Arkham Knight. There's no way to excuse it.

MUH JOKER AGAIN instead of adding crazy psychedelic battles in the vein of the the first game's scarecrow sections
Also the bat tank sucking is such a huge deal you can't really ignore it.

It was going to but then all the nerds sperged out when they heard that Damian Wayne was going to be Batman instead of Dick, Terry, Tim, Azrael and others. Now they've gone back to the drawing board.

all it'll take is Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum 2 starring Damian Wayne to come out and they'll be on board again

im really surprised wb montreal hasn't shat out another one by now.

That PC Release...

....has been fixed for ages. outdated meme.

>Whore tranny catwoman.
>Trash Harley with tats
No.

The backlash was so bad that they didn't want to take the risk. Shame because it would have been cool to have a fresh character. And the only complaint was that "Damian is a fucking annoying teenager". Nigga, he would be adult in the game.

was there any actual conformation a damian game is what pebbleshaky has been working on? before that they were """" making""""" a super man game or a tmnt game too.

Make arguably the best version of the Scarecrow and proceeds to underutilise him in favor of more Joker.

the PC port, the story, joker being the villain despite being dead

Joker being in the story made no sense but it led to some pretty great stuff. I loved the frenemy dynamic between the two of them, Joker was malicious but still had your back most of the way through. Also the finale was really good, you literally lay Hamill's Joker to rest forever. Very fitting.

Hm, it's almost like adding the batmobile was a terrible fucking idea that should never have been implemented outside of a couple, short, specific missions.

After having doing a 100% run on arkham city. Which was a pain with all the riddler challenges you get used to its controls and how tight it all is.
Im still trying to do an 100% run on knight and batman or any other character besides maybe catwoman just doesnt fucking respond sometimes. Wanna counter? Nah.
Shoot some boxes with your bootleg disruptor? Nope instead il do a fear takedown or someshit that I didnt ask for.
The game itself was fine. I dont even dislike the batmobile but goddamn that jason reveal was just ass.

Yeah, the batmobile is "fine", the problem is it did not actually add as much to the game as the actual programming, designing, and resource hogging of its inclusion added. If the batmobile had been canned they could have shoved in pedestrian traffic, more side missions, and more villains. Instead we got the "it's fine"mobile, some shitty race courses, some brain dead tank combat, and a lame "villain fight".

>Slam into a joyrider's car in my tank
>Ram it so hard it flips over three times, hits the barrier, flies over it, and explodes into a hellish fireball thirty feet below
>Good thing I only shocked them, huh

It wasn't developed by Rocksteady, they have moved on from Batman. It was/is made by WB Montreal (Arkham Origins). And yes, it was confirmed by Kotaku and Playstation Magazine Italy.

Is it bad that I actually liked Arkham Origins’ multiplayer?

Batmobile is fun, just too many tank battles/lock on missile car chases and not enough platforming around the city

Someone actually played it? What was it like?

Okay, so the breakdown.
Three teams, two are bane and joker’s gang, 3v3. It’s basically gears of war.
Third team is Batman and Robin, trying to stop both gangs from winning by intimidation or something. It’s actually a pretty interesting concept. Pretty fun too if you like gears of war.

I actually have come closer to 100% on Knight than Origins, but I have completed Asylum and City. I didn't mind most of the issues people usually have, I hate the riddler in Knight, not to mention it was painful watching that flimsy excuse for a twist play out, absolutely no idea who did that but fuck that shit. other than that, not that bad compared to what I expected after all the bad press.

the port and denuvo (that is still present damaging legit customers)

Or Gotham just gets locked down again.
Video games

Fuck the Firefly "fight" it's so fucking lazy it's disgusting. I'm not exactly of the opinion he's a phenominal villain or anything but fuck me, that's a severe downgrade from his city appearance. I expected a final showdown that wasn't drive around and double tap A, fuck that was dissapointing.

Firefly was in Origins, not City

Huh, I suppose you're probably right, I liked the fight but wasn't huge on Origins, guess I just put it where I wanted it mentally.

I liked it more than asylum and city. Also happy freeze got a proper ending

All boss fights in Knight are shit. Origins felt rehashy but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy Origins more than Knight.

Freeze didn't really get an ending, though. Nora dies, he lives.

Only thing I was miffed about was the mostly poor riddler stuff. Also would prefer more snapshot challenges

Yeah but it concludes it. Better than MUH FROZEN WIFE infinity he usually gets

Patrician taste. Origins is a better game than Knight.

Fight me, fags

I like it more too. AA is boring and AC becomes repetitive half way through it. The batmobile break up the game making it feel less like you are just running from destination to destination.

Low iq post

Did Knight even have any true boss fights apart from DLC?

Freeze was going to be in the Damian Wayne-led sequel

>freeze got a proper ending
YEAH I SURE WAS GLAD WE FOLLOWED UP ONE OF THE BEST BOSSES IN VIDEO GAMES WITH ANOTHER FUCKING TANK FIGHT

Killer croc, the joker infected trio and knight battle (which were basically an inverted freeze fight)

Killer Croc was DLC

>destroy the cure to Ras.
>treated like a killer
What the fuck? That's like saying not curing cancer makes you a murderer

Graphics are still bugged on PC. Texture pop in out the ass and the rain effects still do not look as good as the console versions.

Overly grimdark. Even the voice acting felt forced when it got to certain points. For example, listen to Conroy deliver the line about Scarecrow's crew "murdering the rest" of the kidnapped doctors. Even he sounds slightly offput by the suddenly edgy tone.

My bad, I missed the DLC part

That's fine as long as there's a new motive rather than more nora

They made Catwoman less hot

I wish they could have figured out something better than LOL forcefields shocking bad guys

Maybe using it in a few specific situations would have been better. Also, fuck the tanks.

no

If you say so

Joker's blood being contaminated with super steroids, doesn't explain how his consciousness lives through inside and how it can take over others.
this is ridiculous even for comics

...

lmao

>from generic pornstar to literal waifu
>less

is this what they call unJUSTing

looks like Matt Hamill

>she will never scratch your back

Try watching with your eyes open

> Scarecrow gets sidelined at every turn
> none of the other villains get proper time either, they just step in for filler
> the numerous times the game tries to be emotional and fails

> the joker infected trio

only the basketball player and most of that was QTE as well

By less hot do you really mean more like an actual cute girl and not a tranny?

I did, and I fucked up saying Matt, it's Mark Hamill

What in the game would have changed if they took Arkham Knight/Jason Todd out completely? Absolutely fucking nothing. The militia would have been led by Deathstroke and financed by Hush who stole money from Wayne Enterprises.

You surely convinced everyone with this picture now.

Yeah other than looking like humans I'm not seeing the resemblence

they couldn't have forced "Arkham" into the title

Batmobile was good and Jason Todd was dropped around half of the game. AK is the best game in the series.

pretty nice model

other than jaw, eyes and mouth being the same it's totally diferent, yeah

Wow you're blind.
