I also think they shouldn’t have named it Arkham Knights when literally the last Batman game was called Arkham Knight. They probably thought it would make it sell a lot better but I think it just confused and annoyed people when they got a product they weren’t expecting.
Great take on ninja turtles. I think you are correct, the comparison to the Arkham series definitely dropped the rating overall but if this was a TMNT game, it would have had an 8-9 rating hands down
I played it at release had a good time, experienced some insanely funny bugs like enemies meditating in mid air while rotating for example that was awesome haha it was fun for what it was.
I just downloaded it for the first time on my Xbox One X… yes, and Cloud Gaming, on Gamepass…. With that being said. I’m having a blast! I’m 36, and collect games, and build gaming consoles. This game is my childselfs dream, it’s dope, not perfect, but neither are you. 😊 I feel like the younger generation is spoiled. Yes we all know the Arkham games are in a the hall of fame. But this is a Gotham game, not a Arkham.
I actually had a lot of fun on this game. i also played all the arkham games and i think the combat on Gotham Knights is better imo. i just wished the game still had content updates 😢
Bro your actually a liar, idc if it’s your opinion there’s no way you just said combat of all things goes to gotham knights, the main problem with Gotham knights is literally the combat and for me it was the traversal
@@blinkq_530the loot system wasn’t grindy so it didn’t feel like a full time job, the combat I will admit was meh but it makes sense as to why even Arkham asylum was a bit clunky they tried something new which you can’t hate because rocksteady did that with Arkham asylum, the map wasn’t that boring it had a ton of land marks and buildings you can recognize, if anything I’d be willing to say the Arkham knight or Origins map were worse then this one but at the end of the day that’s my opinion and I hope you consider it
I picked this game up out of curiosity and a love for the extended Batman universe. I expected it to be lackluster, but I ended up having so much fun. Red Hoods minetrick was a stroke of genius. It never got old. And adding elemental effects to the weaponry was great fun. Setting thugs on fire, electrocuting them ... I had a blast.
Also, yes, the attack lag behind the taps because it’s a strike system the first tap set up the then you have to tap again when the animation connects the blow. That’s what I mean by high skill ceiling. You actually have to tap along with the animation. Almost like guitar hero.
As soon as you said you’ve never played any of the Arkham games is when I knew immediately why you like this game. The combat’s insane repetitive and dull and its grind with no worthy reward.
I play Gotham Knight and I love it. I play Arkham too, but Gotham Knights is less stressful to play. It's more relaxing than the Arkham ones. I so wish they would do more with it and give us more Quests and cases.
A lot of people said the same about Marvel's Avengers, but after playing the game, I never experienced the horrid game play that others had experienced. Probably because I like Marvel's characters and had zero expectations other than playing those characters in a game. I wasn't disappointed.
Well u did say con thing with the games so that's good, but still the games not good , no I'm not holding out on if someone else is with me to say it's a great game 😂 No the mission are not jarring lol Just most things are boring . The movement the stealth the overall story and the main 4 character are just fine lol
@@Mango_Roc69 meh ..... I played half of it and it's more of a chore lol I stopped playing but I do want to finish but the stealth n combat just doesn't flow well , every Character lacks something Lol this guy just thinks it's cool cuz he hasn't played better games
I want to defend this game so bad but it does so much that frustrates the player especially doing extremely boring challenges to unlock each characters unique traversal, I’m someone who likes to jack of all trades so I got all of them but it was hell trying to. Add on the fact the open world in this game is so hollow rarely anything interesting pops up like even the worst Ubisoft games did their open world better than this. I will say the main campaign and combat is pretty enjoyable for the most part except some enemy design which made life so difficult while each knight played so differently that I always swap back and forth in the main and side missions just to see their perspective on them which I love the game form although the disconnect in the narrative is massive if you play that way. All in all I find Gotham knights a pretty mediocre game with decent combat and Main story missions but everything else is straight up pain inducing and frustrating
Yep 100%. I feel like the best way to play this is to streamline the main story. I only done about 3 hours total of the open world/side missions. I feel like if you grind for loot, the game will quickly reveal its repetitive nature. This game is best played with a buddy while streamlining the story. Great for a sub 12hr romp.
Didn't play the Arkham games? Nuff said. The Arkham series set the bar so high that anything less is being looked at with high scrutiny. In the terms of quality, it's as follows: Gotham Knights Arkham Origins Arkham Asylum Arkham City Arkham Knight If Gotham Knights had come out first this wouldn't be a conversation. But it came out after Arkham Knight. And then start at the story out with Batman dying and yet wanted to claim it wasn't a part of the Arkham of universe. Which was a stupid move and in all honesty they should have just made this game the battle for the cowl game. But instead they tried to go The avengers route, saw the avengers did horribly, and then tried to salvage whatever they could out of the game.
It was okay but the 30fps on console and terrible traversal killed it. Compare it to suicide squad which has fun traversal for every character. It makes the game so much more enjoyable. I did enjoy ehat i played before i got bored and moved on. Wish it had more dlcs or expansions with cool bosses.
i literally just started playing the game a couple of days ago and its almost IMPOSSIBLE to play the game on console still. The choppy frame-rate, the constant stuttering, bugs and missing textures, crashes. The game makes it SO HARD to enjoy what the game could offer on even the ps5.
Old comment ik but PS5 as well and no issues. Night and day to launch when I played on my series X I no longer touch. PS5 version is crisp and smooth so far whether it's an issue with your console, a fluke that may be resolved from reinstalling, or something to do with internet idk. Ever get better?
still runs like shit on console idk why the title “now is the best time” made me think anything has changed. started a shit game, and has remained a shit game
Sorry the title was misleading. I did say at the start that I can't speak for console players. Sucks to see there's still performance issues on console.
I actively dislike the Arkham ganes. I've played three of them, one all the way through. I like this, though. I'm not that far through it, but I don't find it bad at all.
