The Natural Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 The story and Batmobile are the reoccuring criticisms I've come across the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 After playing fir a few hours I dint get the criticism of the Batmobile. I think k it's been a lot of fun. Not at much fun as when I did an environmental grapple and beat the everliving shit out of 10 dudes with a pipe, but fun. The game looks absolutely stunning. So happy i sprang for the PS4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm actually not in love with the Batmobile either. It's easy enough to control and all, but it's used a bit too much, and doesn't add much to the game for me. Also, I'll echo the thoughts about the Riddler stuff, no way I'm 100%'ing this game, and that's fine.  I don't hate the game by any means, but so far, there is nothing about it that is making me want to devote large chunks of time playing it.

The Natural Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Challenge Mode question I'll put into spoiler tags to be safe: Â Reading around, is it true challenge mode/challenge maps when you choose a character (in Arkham Asylum you could only play as Batman, you have a choice of four in Arkham City) and a challenge aren't in Batman: Arkham Knight? Surprised if that's the case as its an Arkham tradition. Both fun and frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I encountered the big twist in the story last night right as I was going to bed. Work is torture today because I'm dying to see where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I think I made the right choice to wait for the GOTY edition because I loved Asylum but did not enjoy City. The tighter design in Asylum really added to the sense of creepiness and claustrophobia. City was too busy and some of the Riddler trophy stuff wasn't any fun, which is something that I did really enjoy in Asylum.  Knight seems like they went the City route rather than the Asylum route and threw more, more, more into the game when sometimes, less is more.  I did spoil the true ending of the game on Youtube and, uh, woof. Not the direction that I would have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty J. Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This game gave me four heart attacks with some cheap scares. -First Joker in Ace chemicals-Then Batman when playing as Gordon-Fucking Man-bat-Finally Joker again on top of a rooftop.  I'm in at about 45%, so far really addicted to the game. I like the tone and setting, definitely (so far) a worthy successor to the original two games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Seems like they favored better boss fights in favor of the Batmobile. It's time to recognize that Arkham Origins actually had great boss fights and some of the best in the series.  We actually got a badass fight with Deathstroke in that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkham Origins patterned their boss fights off the awesome Mr. Freeze fight in City and did some cool varied stuff. If nothing else the game had the most interesting villain roster and best boss fights of the series pre-Knight. I don't get the hate honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else the game had the most interesting villain roster and best boss fights of the series pre-Knight. I don't get the hate honestly. That game had no soul. The boss fights were good but they clearly just did the Freeze with henchmen routine that you mention, the story was the shits (that fucking early plot twist killed any joy I got from it), so many goofy run-around missions and plot points, boring sidequests and trophy hunting stuff, clunky combat, glitches everywhere, poor progression design (particularly the predator challenges, as you couldn't complete them after you hit a certain point in the story), among other stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting. Ah yes, like the relatively weak voice acting. It felt like a cheap cash grab to me. They brought next to nothing new to the table and it seemed like they took City and modded it.  As for Knight: Holy shit, yeah, both the Joker popping up and man-bat fucking terrified me. As much as I hated Joker playing Black Skull in Origins, I love him taking up residency in Batman's psyche. It plays up the yin-yang connection they have and will lead to a neat conclusion, I think. I'm really enjoying the story so far.  I friggin' love the whole Kirk Langstrom story from the animated series (I don't read too many comics), so all on board with that.  Not so thrilled with Firefly (and that terrible voice actor: so cheesy) making a return.

RandomAct Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Just spent a couple of hours playing and I'm liking it more and more. Don't wanna give the impression that I disliked it in the first place, I think I was just put off a bit by the large scope of it. It doesn't seem AS huge once you get going though.
