I was leaning towards Nightwing, he's always been my favorite Bat-Son. But Batgirl is looking pretty good. Looks like she's the closest you'll get to using Batman in this game.
Yeah Batgirl for me as ewll as her healing abilities will be useful while learning the game plus I kind of like ho wshe looks when gliding so I'm looking forward to gliding around Gotham.
That’s exactly why I’m leaning away from her, she was my number 1 pick with Robin being second but now with how Nightwing fights I’m thinking about him heavily now
Same for me especially with her Drone ability idk why I have a thing for Drone capabilities since Spiderman ps4 lol . I will say tho more gameplay come out I’m stuck between Robin and Batgirl Robins combat is looking amazing and his tech abilities such as Decoy, swarm ,teleport attacks , and this steath ability’s are awesome also his bowstaff spin is top notch . Idk it’s so hard to pick
@@dgripper05 For me th eway Nightwing fights ironically is why he's likely going to be last on my list I always struggle with more acrobatic characters that rel yon speed tbh. I prefer more single target bruisers or stealth charactres really which is why Batgirl and Robin are my numbe r1 and 2. I also enjoy a bit of ranged combat as well so Red Hood will have me covered there at Number 3. Looking forward to this though.
I loved playing as red hood and feel like he does the best with this type of gameplay. His momentum abilities are mostly good, his pistols come in handy and his grabs with mines are super useful. Also love his character personality. Think of Raphael in tmnt
I will try everyone one of them. I like Red Hood so I will main him. However, I love stealth also, so Robin will also be my choice. Most likely I will just change between them whether I want to do stealthy approach or brutal approach
I can't bring myself to use Tim Drake since they ruined him in the comics. Batgirl and red hood will be my characters i think. Until DC ruins them as well.
Getting Red Hood's grab ability on bigger enemies made it so much easier to deal with them. Just heavy strike to stun them, grab strike them. Rinse and repeat.
I choose red hood and once you get the hang off his abilities and his play style he is perfect to keep everyone around you at a distance with his two pistols. I’ve played as the others a very few amount of times but always go back to red hood just because of how versatile he is in combat
I mained Red hood and Robin. Batgirl is kind of for basic and general. Good at everything but not amazing at one thing. Robin is stealthy and focuses heavily on elemental damage. If you enjoy elemental damage just build full robin, honestly with the right build he might be the most OP. Also personally i think using him vs harley quinn makes an amazing bossfight both in gameplay and as a spectacle. Nightwing is super agile and seems to do well with high crit. Red hood is a hybrid of ranged and Melee. Most of your abilities have a ranged aspect or buff you. However his base melee hut like a truck. I built him melee as crit damage and ranged focusing on elemental, usually concussion or frost. He is excellent at crowd control.
Nightwing was who I planned to main because he's was always my favorite. Robin with his stealth (mainly overhead stealth takedown) and Bargirl's hacking (again for stealth) is appealing.
I think I’ll play batgirl most and Nightwing as I have always been a huge fan of both of them :) the other two are cool too but I probably will just explore around with them and save the main missions for batgirl
I'm definitely looking forward to playing with all four characters. They did an amazing job with the approach and variety each character brings to the table. Nightwing or Batgirl will probably end up being my first pick though.
Or we have a 4K display and the fidelity upgrades make 30fps worth it lol, so no biggie for me. Although, I can understand the gripes for those with no such display.
It's Batgirl for me so far. Haven't worked on the others yet. She feels the closest to AK's Batman in terms of how she fights and gets around the open world. Then again I haven't played the others yet so they may be better. Will find out in NG+
I don’t know who to play as for the first time like nightwing is cool and all but batgirl is so much like Batman all of the knights have like a part of Batman in them for like a specific skill in a way I want to play as red hood for range but robin just seems so cool and the suits are incredible it’s going to be tough to deiced great video by the way (:
It’s gotta be Nightwing all the way through, I’m planning on multiple playthroughs but I’ve been waiting an eternity for a Nightwing RPG like this. Others just don’t stack up against my favorite
Nightwing seems like a must for 2p and 4p co-op. Red Hood is nasty with how he steamrolls bosses if you know what you're doing. Batgirl is basically melee Red Hood. Robin has a cool kit lol
@@JorRaptor I need to try it before I can really pick though. I’m just excited that I’ll actually get my hands on the game after over 2 years of hype 👍🏽
I think you also have to think about suit choices and weaponry. Red hood with any elemental weapons completely destroys with pistols. Just have to choose wisely. Sometimes with bio electric it will make guns malfunction for a little bit
I started playing as Jason but later switched to Nightwing .In my opinion Nightwing has some cool moves and has better reflexes than other characters .In Batman Arkham Knight you have different gadgets at your disposal and there are enemies who are not as strong a foe as comparing to Gotham knights coz every time to travel back to belfry the enemies will get leveled up too ,the only option we have is to build your own strategy and try to evade the incoming attacks and Nightwing was a better option for me than the rest of the knights
Robin is the ONLY character who can do takedowns on every enemy type, including the giant tank enemies. He also has the best stealth, and the best AOE attack with his nanites. Batgirl can hack equipment, heal an entire team, and even revive if she goes down. She's the tank. Red Hood can just shoot or beat everything into submission, but has zero stealth specialty. Unfortunately, Nightwing is perfectly fine at everything, but doesn't stand out at all. Too bad, I bought the game just to play him.
I was planning on nightwing, coolest solo member of the bat family imo- but I’m not sure, Tim was always my favorite robin, and I usually prefer stealth gameplay…
I'm saddened Red Hood didn't just get an array of weapons. He's known to have rifles, launchers, and all sorts of firearms. Though, I do like his brawler fighting style. Absolutely brutal.
I'm one of the odd ones out here but I've taken a liking to Red Hoods unique fighting style and combat systems. His costumes pretty dope too so it's Red Hood for me.
@@theblueexorcist8731 so what that’s fine with me it doesn’t bother me at all that it’s 30fps but if it’s that big of a deal for people like then you could wait till they release a 60fps update I guess
By playing one of the characters does the game allow you to not get into all of that elemental and super power stuff and just rely on normal skills and tech like the Arkham games?
Ik a lot of people are complaining about the Game. I really like the graphics/fighting style moves ect. Yea the button layout design could do with some work but I’m excited to get the game when I can
Robin annihilates the end game. In addition to being the stealthiest and able to do takedowns on large bad guys, he also gets bonuses to elemental buildup and damage that make him the best fighter. Plus that momentum move where he charges forward while spinning his staff can defeat a half a dozen bad guys all at once.
I picked Tim first because he is my favourite bat son, but for the last fight i decided to go barbara as she is quick with her hits and can deal more damage due to her being faster
He could have been easily the worst character in the game, the moment they said "playable Tim Drake" I knew who I'd be playing with first. He and Red Hood are my favorite of these characters and will likely see the most play early. But honestly all four look like fun, and different enough to mess around with when there is a chance.
Since this game has a New Game Plus mode, ai’ll be playing it MULTIPLE times. So, I think I’m going to go with NightWing for my first play through, then RedHood, then Robin, then for my final hero/heroine, BatGirl.
I choose to main Robin mostly because 1. His abilities are good. 2. I prioritize stealth. 3. I know his move sets and abilities. But all are such good and amazing characters. But I’m definitely sticking to Robin.
30 fps for Gotham Knights is a deal breaker for me. I am not going to pay a game with current gen price that will run with last gen fps. Even more so, I am now used to 60 fps and I am not going back ....because the difference is big. (I am talking about the 30fps locked framerate for consoles, even in solo mode, which they recently announced)
Looks like another Avengers type experience imo which I also enjoyed for the most part excluding the live service part. I'll pick this up Black Friday unless I get bored before Ragnarok
is it like choosing between assault, range, support & tank? Batgirl being assault, red hood being range, Red Robin being support & nightwing being tha tank?
Batgirl is my likely choice just by being the closest to Batman, but Robin is edging his way to being my second choice. Still can't be sure if i am getting the game at or even near release, might torture myself and watch some streams or something closer to release.
Im still stoked about playing the game but are you concerned at all about the 30fps cap? Im sure they will have a update later on to change this to 60fps & higher but people are losing there minds over this, its like the Avengers virus of a community has infected this games community already.
I personally don’t mind it, people are getting so turned by it though. There will likely be a patch later on after release that provides 60 fps. If fps matters all that much to you, then just don’t buy the game until there is a update providing the specs you want.
@@maul1789 Wait up a minute, i did state im still stoked about the game & will be getting on release day, yes im concerned about the 30fps & im positive they will update the game to 60fps later but your aggressive tone in the 2nd half of your reply was uncalled for. Thats a perfect example of the Avengers community Virus infecting GK's community, there was no need for that statement. Pathetic response @Maul
Personally I'll be on PC and I'm not that bothered b ythe 30fps cap in fact it being slightl yloewr may even help me given I have a physica ldiasbility which can mak eaction games more difficult. Fram erates don' tnormall ybothre me to omuch as long as I'm having fun.
@@SirFrostyFire715 I wasn’t trying to come off as aggressive in the last portion. I apologize if it seems like that. For the players on the PC port it won’t affect you, but it is a little disappointing to some on next gen consoles, but it doesn’t really bother me in particular.
@@maul1789 Thats cool, 2yrs of tolerating the toxic negative bipolar Avenger community has been damaging to me personally, ive started to see the same mentality w/ the GK community starting to head that way over the last week, the fps issue concerns me but its not an issue for me like others are making it out to be, im looking forward to playing & having some fun.
My Favorite To my least is NightWing,Batgirl,Robin Than Redhood NightWing: Fast,Acrobatic,Good Momentum,Fast Dodger and Fighter What i don't like: His Darts aren't my Favorite Ranged attack. He has always been my Favorite Batgirl: Hack Stuff,Revive Herself,Good Melee character,Kinda Stealth and Tough What i don't like: She's Cool i don' really have any Dislikes i guess i wish her cape could kinda be better. She's A little of everything but i love the Hacking & Revive Part Robin: Stealth Specialist,Can Lure Enemys,Tactical Genius,Good Elemental Damage Character and Can Distract enemys while taking other ones down What i don't like: His Staff Kinda feels a little wired but its good i don't have anything bad to say about him really his Movement Ability Is annoying how it has a time limit He's Cool and is Fast and i love Stealthy Characters Redhood: Brawler,Marksmen,Good with Melee and Ranged,Extra Strong and Can Grab Enemy's Easier What i don't like: He's Slow in Combat or Melee and His leap is annoying a little i just feel like redhood could be better but NO HATE i love all of the characters. He's Cool and i love the Melee and Ranged Damage
JorRaptor what do u think about everything going on about this game right now people are saying it's a mobile game lol do u think it will really be that bad ? I was really waiting on this game man like big time
I’m team Red Hood all the way I’ve been a fan since I was a kid plus I like the more tank like gameplay I’ve seen so far robin is a close second for me
i just started the game and so far ive been upgraded jason. i tried Nightwing for a bit but he wasnt that appealing though I may try it again. Tim just feels like he's too weak in fighting (compared to red hood) but his takedowns could be helpful in unlocking momentum abilities and Batgirl just seems like her fights will take longer as she focuses on just one target at a time
Man 30 fps is gonna be hard to look at, I've tried going back to older games and I just can't get past the stuttering of the images its so strange looking nvr understood before I saw it
