so what exactly was so bad about this again?
>>729148205Just the spoiler of the AK's identity imoMost people didn't like the car but the car was one of the best 'you need to drive in this non-driving game' shit I've ever seenThere's like 15 minutes of use of it outside of a few combat sections and one race section I thinkOverall I'd say the game is about 15-16 hours and the car that's mandatory is about 90 minutes of that at most
>>729148205the plot is basically just city again but it aight
>>729148294i'm probably in the minority but i loved driving in the car and doing riddler stuffsure drone battles could be better but nothing about them made me hate the game
Asylum is the best one.
rooftop platforming with the batmobile was one thing, but when i had to lower the batmobile into a sewer and then ended up doing combos with it, that's when i knew this game was one big joke.
>>729148205Nothing much. Perhaps a tad too much of driving and not enough of those sneaky takedown bits. Also the PC launch was horrendous, they did after all pull it from stores. 100%'d and really enjoyed it.
>>729148205PC port was trash for a while.Aside from that some people didn't like the bat mobile and the plot was predictable
Are you finally ready to admit that Arkham Origins was good?
It has terrible/nonexistent boss fights. The whole appeal of the Batman mythos is his rogues gallery, and when you adapt that to a video-game, a badass boss gauntlet is pretty much required. City nails this with Freeze, Ra's, Grundy, and Clayface, and Origins nails this with Croc, Deathstroke, Copperhead, Firefly, and Bane. And Asylum, while infamously bad at mechanical fights, still has memorable setpieces with Scarecrow, Ivy, and Croc. Knight has fucking NOTHING. It doesn't even ATTEMPT to have boss fights, much less have bad ones. This is its irredeemable sin in my opinion. I can put up with the shitty Batmobile and the terrible twist and the retarded Joker virus shit, but I put my foot down with the lack of boss fights.
>>729148205Nothing, good game, surprisingly good on the Deck too
>>729148981Freeze was mostly shit imo, it was just a really, really bad one dimensional predator segment of 'wait till he hopefully goes in a way you can use a gadget'Joker/Clatyface was shit, Grundy was utter fucking shit, same with Ra'sYou cannot really do a proper Batman vs rogue gallery imo since 9/10 times he'll either outmatch them physically or it's just 'game mechanics' like 'wait your turn' wherein where's actively serious, he'll take out Bane in ten seconds by cutting venom, etc
>>729149351You're just being a contrarian. Most people who played City will tell you the bosses is one of the best parts
>>729149493Anon, the bosses are shitNow, I know my opinion is 'not groupthink' and this is bad but the fact is Freeze is literally just a really, really shit stealth encounterJoker/Clayface wasn't that bad, just a fun beat 'em up sectigon but Grundy was complete fucking slop and so was Ra's
the best bosses are in Origins
>>729149573Even if what you were saying was true (which it isn't; it's an embarrassingly bad take and probably bait), at least City tried to have setpieces. You know, like an action game. Knight didn't even try, which is just pathetic. It's a Batman game that makes no usage of its villains, which is like a racing game with no vehicles
>>729149685>Even if what you were saying was true>if your opnion was trueOk, so you don't want to argue, fine.
>>729148205In 2025? Nothing much, other than the shit plot. Gameplay wise, its the best capeshit game in existence. Graphics are top notch as well.
>>729149737That wasn't even a bad faith thing to say. Even if I agreed that City's bosses were bad, I would still criticize Knight for its lack of bosses. For example, Asylum's bosses are bad, but at least it HAS bosses. Meaning that the quality of City's bosses is irrelevant anyways
>>729148205It launched with poor preformance. It has long since been fixed.Batmobile was a bit overused but fine, people are stupid when driving as there's plenty of vids of people showing what it can do when skilled.Reusing the tank boss fight sucked but then you reuse most boss fights with pred mode. AK was obvious who it was and writing to ignore it was also stupid but take it with a grain of bat salt. DLC added some good extras. Where it ranks among the three (origins is not part of the arkham trilogy), well all 3 are really good and knight is a decent progression of city though not by an amazing amount. Knight is fine, you can think its better or worse but It's still high overall quality and worth playing along with asylm and city. .
Car skins don't have battle modeWorst story in the gamesThat's pretty much it
>>729148205>great gameplay>underused combat>short>poor story with characters pulled out of the ass>ran like shit on release>broken PC port that crashed, hardlocked and lacked effects>allowed Stefton Hill to fire half the staff and replace them with activists to make his marxist dream game, Suicide Sqadit wasnt bad, but could have been betteryou can tell that jewish pedophile Sefton Hill already did big purges in the studio and was replacing devs with his far left activist buddiespeople dont remember, but there was drama about people who were fired and left, especially the fired writer was salty as fuck with stefton for wanting to make batman woke
>>729148205Nigler. I fucking hate that faggot.This game should've given me a chance to not just put nigler in jail but to broke every last bone in his onion fueled body.I never had many problems with batmobile or overall bad plot, but the fucking riddler being a requirement for knightfall angers me to no end. There's no urgency to catch him, no one is threatened unlike in city, and you have to beat Arkham knight and scarecrow in one night but noo, after 3 games here's more of this homo. I hate gin so much I'm glad the developer is dead. But fuck I like the voices in this game. Jason's "I'm hurt" line is just amazing delivery.
>>729148294The car gets really obtrusive if you do the sidequests.
>>729148205nothing Asylum > Knight > City > Origins
Played Asylum, City and Knight recently and I hated almost everything about Knight. Is Origins worth buying?
>>729148205the tank, the fucking tank
>>729153197origins is city but now with 30% less fat, but i think t's worth a playthrough
>>729148294I really liked the chase lieutenants trucks missionsBut the tank ones are kinda meh 6/10
>>729148981>>729149351Origins get memed to hell for some reason, but Deathstroke boss fight was pure unfiltered Ludokino, love that if you came back and played the Deathstroke missions, he more or less had the same kit than you do when you play as him. Love when bosses play in the same rules as you do
>>729148205Too much carToo much JokerJason was lame100% for real endingLower quality writing in general compared to earlier games
>>729153197Unironically the best one. Best DLC as well because of GIGAbat
>>729148205I don't like that there is constantly a way point for you to follow. Breaks my immersion. A map isn't enough? I need the floor to constantly glow in the direction I must go? Fuck off. Zoomers can't read maps and now we must all suffer.
>>729148205It bluescreend my pc.I didn't even bother pirating it after they "fixed" it.
>>729154985I was so hyped for deathstroke in Knight
>>729155743I can't believe it took this long for anyone to say it.>Have to get 100% Riddler trophies to unlock a fucking cutscene
>>729149493Only braindead niggers who have never played other games. I like the bosses for the spectacle but the actual fights themselves are shit.
>>729153197I played it a few weeks ago for the first time and it's one of the buggiest pieces of shit I've ever had the displeasure of playing. It was okay outside of that but the crazy amount of physics issues, getting stuck on stuff at random, enemies teleporting etc. got real fucking annoying and by the end I kind of hated it. Probably would have liked it without those issues though.
>>729148294Watching the devs and PR people doing mental gymnastic pretzels with the Knight's identity was hilarious to be honest.>Ooh this is a new OC the Arkham Knight, a mysterious new vill->OH HEY IS IT JASON TODD? HE LOOKS AND SOUNDS A LOT LIKE HE'D BE JASON TODD>N-no it's not, stop saying it's Jason, it's not Jason Todd, he's a brand new OC just for the game.>OK>Haha we fooled you! It was actually Jason Todd the entire time!
>>729149493I recently finished City and am now playing Knight. Most of the boss fights in City were pretty bad and uninteresting.Asylum did the presentation of bosses better imo and Arkham Knight so far stands heads above them in terms of polish and overall gameplay. Maybe I'll change my mind when I finish it, but so far I'm liking it the most.
>>729148205It was awful on the PC upon release and required two major overhaul updates to make it run as good as it does now.
>>729148205>Batman AK came out in 2015>Everyone universally shits on it for terrible performance>10 years pass>[insert game] releases with terrible performance>"uhmm game is made for future gen hardware! DLSS + frame gen fixes this so stop complaining! They will surely fix it in the next few patches! Silent Hill 2 Remake doesn't need to run at 60fps all the times, it's not a multiplayer game!"The decline should be studied.
>>729153228The only part I personally hated about the tank was those super tanks you had to constantly do hide and seek with in it. They weren't even hard they were just long and boring as shit.
>>729154985Most of the bosses in origins were just quick time event fests in-between button mashing but the presentation of them was fantastic. It really made Knight feel lifeless without the big cinematic boss fights
>>729148205Nothing past its initial pc launch. It's the best one, its predator sections are amazing.
How is Gotham Knights compared to the Arkham games?
>>729152389Riddler is definitely the worst part of the games. The batmobile parts are fine, but the puzzles and just his character as a whole are painfully annoying.
>>729157880 It’s like comparing filet mignon to a microwaved gas station burger. Gotham Knights wants to be Arkham so badly but ends up feeling like a mobile game with a console budget. Clunky combat, no weight to anything, and the loot/leveling system adds nothing except tedium. You spend more time in menus than actually punching dudes. The city feels weirdly dead too. Nightwing feels like a Fortnite emote machine, and Red Hood's platforming makes me cry. Just emulate Arkham City for the 36th time instead.
>>729148205Somehow the Jonkler returned
>>729157880Animation wise it looks like shit. https://youtu.be/iVvtzgQP5AE?si=GoTr0figsWhhVx_B
>>729148205>game has jump scareshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX5wX6ru4hE
>>729148897Sure. I played it for the first time like a month ago; I was pleasantly surprised by how much effort/new stuff was put into it. It's still a buggy mess though.
