That Gamespot author is already getting death threats for only giving the game a 70% (which seems perfect from what I've experienced so far). As we all expected the first time you use the batmobile is very well done, every other time is really blatant "we made a batmobile, gotta use it as much as possible" padding moment.

Another example that if you just bullshit and give it a 10, people will write death threats later, and if you give it a 7, they'll do it today.


I knew they would just pretty much batmobile batmobile batmobile in your face, the arkham insider was loving annoying at portraying that.

I was quickfiring batarangs with doubletaps of 1 like in the other games, but yes, the special combo takedown is actually Alt+1 which is hilarious.

The gently caress? why not R or T or whatever?

Also I just got a GTX 750 Ti. Judging by the reviews, i am supremely hosed for this game anyway.

So far the game runs smoothly, even though it's low. I don't really care for fog or any of the nvidia poo poo, however, as soon as i get off work, I am digging into the .ini file to get rid of that godamn motion blur, it's killing everything.

Also, what the poo poo? I got this from Green Man Gaming, a steam key, where's my dark knight and batman beyond skin? I got Harley Quinn DLC so it was a preorder?

I am actually getting angry at a video game. They monumentally hosed this up, and I can only play this piece of poo poo game I wanted for like 10 minutes at a time because it's chugging up everything.

At least give me the goddamn courtesy of removing your piece of poo poo motion blur without digging into the .ini file and making it crash.

I never had any issues following Firefly. Except when this happened...



The Batmobile would go forward, but I couldn't turn or use the afterburner. Then it started bugging me to flip it over even though it was on all four tires. I tried to get out and get back in, but I fell right through the ground. At least it didn't autosave with me down there. :downs:

Firefly was still way easier than Arkham Knights troop transport dudes, which still weren't that bad. If they gave me 100 more missions to chase after dudes in the Batmobile, I'd be happy.

Jesus, it's like Arkham Origins all over again.

Are you guys talking about the Deathstroke fight in Origins? I haven't played it. Because I didn't have a fight against him in Knight; just the tank batle.

For all the poo poo I give Origins, the boss fights were an overall improvement, even if they didn't have a Mr. Freeze fight equivalent.

Deathstroke was a pretty good looking fight.

I heard rumours floating about that PC folk who pre-ordered might get the season pass free, similar to that gently caress up with AC: Unity, but I've no clue if that's bullshit or what.

Bullshit. They're not that generous. I'd probably bet a 25% discount, and the original hundred dollar men who got hosed on this deal get some exclusive batmobile skinz.

The big problem with the Knight system is this:

The original games had a Wave-based system. Every wave had a specific number of enemies. This lead to an interesting balancing act. You could go for long combos to increase your multiplier but you also wanted to string together as much variation as you could for bonus points. Since there was a limited number of enemies, the variation points were significant and so you had to try to keep stringing things together and getting hard-to-get moves and trying to balance high-point moves with low-damage. There were flaws here but it made sense. Each wave had its own independent scoring system so you could keep it going.

Here? Nope. Variations are now only barely worth going for since you're only graded at the end and while they add to your score it's a much smaller amount. There's no "well, I screwed up this round I'll do better next round." It's only perfect freeflow or nothing.

Yeah, a huge chunk of my hours in the arkham games was trying to top my own score and it was loving great.

Why did they gently caress this up? Why have so little challenges? Why lock it behind a forty dollar season pass godamnit gently caress you

It was cool to me because It's all in the Batman's head and joker is playing devil's advocate, knowing everything bruce has done to protect the city and all of his failures. It wasn't a Joker trying to keep the cycle going and preserving the mystery of the batman so that this madness never ends, this joker is just making GBS threads on you all the time.

It's a shame that I remember more of the Arkham Knight whining though, because holy poo poo, it never ends.

Isn't it kinda hosed up that batman's students (like, say robin, batgirl, nightwing) would...uh study under him for an indeterminate amount of years and all of a sudden this dude who comes out of nowhere prior to city, who knows how to make fiery bat-shaped crop circles...is able to be the successor?

I mean is this like a comic book thing, or something you can actually reason with?


also, seriously, what the gently caress. Rocksteady made too little challenges. Your lovely rear end Arkham Season Pass won't be enough for the content you actually normally put out on your games. It's loving sad that you have to wait until possibly Christmas to get the full game.

I think i'd rather wait until those (loving) cunts (that knew) at rocksteady fix the port, to be honest. Everybody knows at this point.


saw the whole thing on the x box one though, so i might as well refund the PC poo poo and wait a year later when the so-called season pass offers the actual loving game.

I don't like the Shock Gloves because they replace the crisp rocksteady animations with lovely shock ones someone else made. Also I played enough Arkham Combat that I became accustomed to dealing with enemies with weapons, so when I use up the gloves and hit anything and everything with armor, I skip a beat when it runs out and my great combo ends like a wet fart when i accidentally hit a guy with heavy armor or a shield.

I played Arkham alot for the combat challenge maps, because they were loving cool as gently caress. But I just can't do it on Arkham Knight because they added like twice as many buttons and added more bullshit enemies to compensate.\

How do you deal with Giant enemies with lightning wristblades again? You just save up your combo points to start a takedown and rid of them as quick as possible?
