Why Gotham Knights Sucked | One Year Later
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 тра 2024
- I skipped over playing Gotham Knights when it first released last year as I felt it looked kind of underwhelming. But now, almost a year later, I figured I would give it a chance and see how I felt. And the results were kind of predictable, but watch the video to see how I felt!

As Terry Mcginnis once said, "Hey, we can't all be Batman."
They should of made a game based on him ☹️
@@Efrencit017a batman beyond game set in the Arkhamverse would've been the ideal choice
@@akshatshah6806 We almost got something like that, except it wasn't Terry.....it was Damian Wayne. It was also set 10 years after knight and would be reminiscent of Batman Beyond.
@@gazem_3211 that sounds like it good be interesting too, albeit not as promising as a batman beyond Arkham game
Ironically they did make him a clone/illegitimate son of Batman so he was batman
I think this game makes 10000x more sense if you consider that WB were apparently working on a TMNT game for a while, with rocksteady distancing themselves from it. This game would make more sense in its concept if it was developed from the skeleton of that scrapped TMNT game, given the four characters etc
Should add that the 4 characters even fit the archetypes of the turtles almost one to one...
this. i totally saw the similarities
nightwing = leo
red hood = raph
robin = donnie
batgirl = mikey
@@EclipseHedgehoglol I just commented this before I saw this. Also Alfred = splinter
.... I hadn't heard about this before, and now I dearly wish I lived in the timeline where we got that game. Sure, it might have been as mid as this is to play, but honestly? A turtle game on this level of graphical fidelity and without the nagging comparison to Batman games of old as you play... probably wouldn't have ended up WELL, but I can see people enjoying it more due to it being a rare big budget TMNT game.
It's rather Robin = Mikey, Batgirl was Donnie, because she was their tech guy, and Robin also wanted to prove himself@@EclipseHedgehog
Its really a shame it turned out the way it did , feel like it could've kicked off another superhero game resurgence where Avengers failed to do so.
Well it’s ok to say that it’s better than the avengers game
@@NicknameJytownI mean, the bar is in hell, c'mon
@@spacejasontodd what are you talking about “bar in hell”
@@NicknameJytown It's a figure of speech. It means that The Avengers were so horrible to say that something is better than that particular game is to say nothing. It'd be more of a challenge to find something worse.
@@spacejasontodd well I did enjoy Gotham knights more than avengers and the combat was way better than avengers combat
This is not the legacy Batman wanted to leave behind. It goes to show how Arkham Knight was a near perfect videogame, even 8 years later it still looks and plays so much better than these mediocre next gen titles.
Agreed
"Arkham Knight was a near perfect videogame"
no
Not with all that bland Batmobile tank BS
@@mjc0961It is not that bad.
I would agree were it not for that goddamn BATMOBILE!!!!!
But hey, at least it gets destroyed late in the- oh, come on, A SPARE!!??
@@jediuser8654does it make you uncomfortable knowing that gamers like the Completionists say that the Batmobile wasn’t a bad addition to the game
So let me get this straight: Nightwing is Leonardo, Batgirl is Donatello, Red Hood is Raphael and Robin is Michelangelo? The colors even (almost) match up!
Edit: and Alfred is Master Splinter
Well Batman and Alfred are Splinter.
Lol, was just about to comment this. Blue Leader, Purple Techie, Red Hothead, and Red/Yellow Youngster.
Usually it's the Robin that doesn't fit the picture, be it Tim or Damian, but overall yes!! I've been saying that for years :D
What’s funny is Batman get brought back to life just to die again few minutes later. Story was shit imo.
That's a good accurate comparison! 😆
What I do like about this game is the fact that you can customize your suit
They could have done better .. it took me weeks of nonstop playing the game to get the Slade colorway.
The fact that you said the fact that shows the fact that you didn’t really need to say the fact that
Better suits in this game than spiderman tbh
@@UFCWWE69Unfortunately that’s true.
you have PERFECTLY described the issue with the combat..
all they need to do is litterally just add a counter, and speed up the animations.
it would fix the combat.
To be fair, the slow combat was actually intentional so the Bat Family would feel like realistic vigilantes fighting street crime.
@@jaxxpool9630
We've already strayed away from so far from realism.
That just any attempt to stick to it would actually detract from experience.
@@jaxxpool9630Im pretty sure them releasing elemental energy during their attacks aren’t realistic at all. So it was never realistic to begin with.
@@fatmanjstyle5306 Well, those elemental energy was coming from their gadgets and equipment, not their actual physical bodies and fighting styles. I was talking about “realistic” in terms of how they move around.
@@jaxxpool9630how the hell it's realistic whem you puntch someone that many times? Also it's a batman game so realism should be hanging in arkham.
This pretty much sums up my thoughts on the game. I loved the character dynamics with our heroes, but the villains were ass, and the the game wasn't much fun to play. Unsurprisingly, I deleted this from my PS5 right after finishing it.
Also, congrats on 200K subs J!
This was a direct comment xD
You did better than me. I didn't even make it halfway through the game before I uninstalled it.
@@SolidSnake240 I don’t blame you.
Same, and I found the controls extremely awkward and crap, I thought maybe it was because I wasn’t used to them and decided to give it a chance, but then I realised it wasn’t me not being used to the controls, the game was just bad
Lol so I’m not alone!! As soon as I completed the main story I didn’t even give end game a shot, I was/am over it
It’s been a year? Forgot about this immediately.
Same. I didn’t even finish the game.
The game could be easily ported to ps4 not even mentioning ps4 pro
The only impressive looking thing in the game is the curves of nightwings ......💀
Without context you can tell someone gotham knights came in 2015 and arkham knight came in 2020
@@sourlab that’s so crazy too me you could 100 percent do that. I might find someone who doesn’t really game and do that😂
@@sourlab That's not a high bar, considering that Nightwing is famous for his curves. If you can't get those right, you did something wrong.
@@smashmaster521 well still the best thing in the game
As Bruce Wayne once said: "I'm proud of you, Dick. "
As meh as this game is it has my favourite Batman line ever. Where he sacrifices himself the second time ending with "you're not going to use this Lazarus pit..... because I won't let you". He was so badass saying that. And with the redub that someone did using ai for Conroy's voice, dare I say I cried a little. Especially now that he's gone.
If you look at the Digital Foundry review for the PC version, you'll find that the performance woes are because of piss-poor CPU utilization. It explains why the last gen versions were cancelled and the next gen versions were capped at 30.
Something must've went horribly wrong during the development of this game, most likely executive interference pushing the game for a certain release date before they could iron out all the issues.
Couldn't get past Mr.Freezes area much cause my pc couldn't handle it lol never rode the bike either cause It loaded stuff to fast
Is it still bad now? On pc?
@@joshuam4993nah it tuns well on pc now
I'm sure they aren't the first team to fit these archetypes, but J's description of the archetypes the Knights fall under makes them sound like knockoffs of the ninja turtles, only with an eager younge member rather than comedic relief.
Even the colours nearly match. Night wing the leader (blue as leonardo) and Jason as the brutish one (red as Ralp).
Barabara doesn’t really fit with Don since they’re all extremely intelligent, but close enough (and purple like him.
I actually like the game a lot. All I wanted was to play as Robin and Nightwing and I got that.
This game made me so angry. You're right. It's not a terrible game. It's just incredibly mediocre, which is what made me so upset. I'm also a Batman fanboy. Despite the harsh skepticism up to release, I really tried to stay optimistic, even when I saw the mixed reviews. I couldn't finish it, even though I put like 20 hours into it. I think if the game was downright terrible, I would have been less upset by it, but WBM only cared enough to make this game serviceable.
I'm on the same boat but I gave up under 2hrs so I could refund it LOL. Terrible traversal and movement completely killed off my interest in the game
@@t_tmad5293same man I had 40 min left I took more time doing settings to try and do best graphics I could get I got bored after the first mission Its jus not good but for some reason I wanna finish it anyway idk lol
@@futuredemon2843 Ended up re-bought the game at 80% off. I couldn't help it because I love Batfamily but it definitely wasn't worth at full price.
Tbh I enjoyed this game. I understand the flaws with it but to me it's really cool to get to play as these characters as a video game and DC fan, and as a comic book fan, seeing all three robins and batgirl interact is just really cool as we don't see that as often as I'd like. It may not be as good as arkham but it's still a fun as hell game, and it especially just feels like a game that loves the comics it's based on. It really feels like they focused on keeping the game just fun, even if it's not polished.
i agree. i enjoyed my time with it and playing co-op definitely made it more fun. i still feel like people were too hard on it because they wanted it to be another Arkham
@@thelion104I actually think the combat make sense mabey a few more moves options is cool but there is a lot of moves u can do
I was starting to think i was alone. I've really enjoyed it.
yeah it this game wasn’t supposed to follow the batman series of games it would probably be ok
EXACTLY people keep trying to compare them, it pisses me off because I enjoy Gotham Knights a ton! Both great games, but in my opinion, people are ‘meat riding’ the Arkham Games, I get they were ahead of their time, but seriously? Why can’t people just enjoy a game without complaining and comparing.
Great vid. My problem with the game, not wanting to be seen as being part of the Arkham universe was the fact that they literally took the story beat from the end of Arkham Knight with batman “dieing” after calling in the knight protocol or whatever it was called. Think that really blurred the lines for some folk
Yeah I cannot stand that "well we're doing something new" and all that's new is a horrible leveling and stat system that doesn't work with the game. Besides that it IS an Arkham game.
Dying*****😂😂😂
the title didnt help either with knight in it
I don’t know how is it possible that game can scream :” I am a mediocre game!!”
One thing that Gotham Knights really reminded me of is what I desire from game difficulty. In so many games the only difference I see with changing the difficulty is the enemies do more damage if they hit you. Maybe this is just me being bad at games but for me, Gotham Knights is challenging combat wise regardless of weather you play on easy or hard. And I like that. The enemies don't feel less agressive on easy compared to on hard difficulty. What I would like to see from game difficulty settings is something where maybe the enemies can't KO you in one or 2 hits but they maybe are more agressive and multiple enemies try to attack you at the same time. Maybe on an easier difficulty they come at you one at a time but are still just as agressive as they might be on hard? Idk. To me if Imma die in one to two hits in a game that just makes me not wanna play on the hardest difficulty.
Arkaham Origins absolutely slaps it is a fantastic game, so sad these guys couldnt replicate that level of quality
This game seems like it had a very troubled production.
I remember WB Montréal teasing this back in 2015-16 with a photo of the devs wearing Court of Owls masks at a Christmas party.
Factor in that this was suppose to be an Arkham prequel and the final game's plot feels like an Arkham Knight sequel with some rewrites to make it its own universe, leads me to think they rebooted development a few times. The latter which might explain the more lackluster visuals since they made it its own universe, they couldn't reuse Arkham Knights' Gotham, and had to rebuild it from scratch.
I hope for better luck on their next game, but considering WB's change in direction for DC projects and the recent news of major studio heads leaving, might lead me to think they had to restart development.
This game had so much potential and it makes me incredibly sad that it didn't live up to it. I love everything about the premise and was so excited for it. The combat was so bland and tedious. I didn't hate the story but it wasn't incredible. I just wish they could get another crack at it but sadly I don't think it'll happen. Hopefully we don't have to wait so many years for the next batman game.
Congrats on 200K subs, Here’s to 300 and beyond
Wait? It's been a year already? Time flies by. I haven't even touched it, and it's been on sale on 20 different occasions.
For real bro time flies remember me wanting to play it so bad. It’s on sale again for 15$😂 just bought it going give it a try.
how is it, im about to buy it to so i would like your opinion on it?@@boj091
@@boj091 it'd on game pass and ps plus. So now I'm not risking anything.
Having finished the game with 1 character (not going to do it with all 4) it was clear this was going to be a live service game and got "re-tooled" at some point to a single player game but still with all the live service elements in place.
I honestly enjoyed the game in itself. I played both Arkham and Gotham knight and I loved both with story and characters play style!
Oh man the way you described the 4 characters sounded like a copy of tmnt and Alfred is like master splinter
Good video
Will be waiting for the learning to love version
I think the other thing to mention here, is that the stats themselves are never explained. The GOW system actually tells you what damage/ defense will increase with each build. This is just numbers for the sake of numbers.
I never played this game, because frankly the gameplay videos looked boring and the aesthetic sort of screamed "Arkham meets AAA crap." Guess I was right. Not looking forward to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, either. It says something when a game gets delayed for a year because Kevin Conroy's final vocal performance as Batman was gated behind a live service model.
And that's we're getting Arkham on Switch; WB knows Suicide Squad is doomed, so they're giving Nintendo fans a chance to play some truly great games...even if they goofed by not re-releasing Arkham Origins as a standalone.
Heya J just come to say to tell you congratulation for hitting 200K you deserve it I maybe a newer follower but you pull really good stuff here
I remember seeing some leaked concept art and other game file/coding images that showed they planned to have both Damien Wayne be in the game as well as have Batman be playable at some point, the Batmobile being a vehicle option, and other villains such as Solomon Grundy. As for if the was meant to be future dlc besides the Starro one or part of the base game, I don’t know.
This is definitely a "watch the cutscenes on youtube" game
I’m kinda in the second act of Gotham Knights and it isn’t that horrible by any means. It does have issues like repetitive side missions, very less villains (which is shocking), clunky traversal at times (speaking of traversal, Robin's is my least favourite) which is mainly an issue in the time trial stuff and a bland story which was unfortunately built on a great premise, but otherwise it’s fine. The combat and suits are decent, the main four characters are good and their dynamics are good.
Comparing it to previous Batman games it's a damm shame.
You must've not played Arkham City or Arkham Knight. Because in comparison to both those games - this game is mediocre AT BEST.
@tio_john facts! The only time I have any sort of fun in Gotham Knights is when my friends are on. Damn near impossible to have an entertaining solo session..
I boot up Arkham Knight and I'll lose track of time beating up random thugs and gliding through gotham and before I realize it an hour flew by.
Damn shame how mid GK is...
The game devs made it for the gullible ones like this one
2 more things that plucked my nerves. 1. Homie was using NONLETHAL rubber bullets that could shoot THROUGH enemies to hit other enemies. ..... sure. 2. When everyone isn't in costume and are wearing their street clothes, they're always seen wearing their costume colors and ONLY those colors. Like what is this? Fuckin power rangers? We know who they are, you dont have to make them dress like that when not in costume. It looks dumb.
Congrats on hitting 200k subs, J!!!
I always thought this game was apart of the Arkham series so learning that it wasn't here just confuses and fascinates me more about how this game came to be
7:55 this is the issue, it is not a batman game, yet it is compared like it is
Congrats on 200K J!
Great video🙌🏾
Sad Indeed. I definitely remember being very hyped for this game. I loved the Arkham series so much. Unfortunately I doubt I’ll ever play this game.
One of the things that bother me the most about the game is how little villains there are in the game .. Only really have Talia,The Court of owls,Clayface,Mr.Freeze and Harley Quinn. How you gonna have all 4 knights and have very little villains??? Perfect time to put Deathstroke,Black Mask,Professor Pyg,Killer Croc ect like what tf? Maybe add goofy villains too like condiment king and Crazy Quilt.
Gotham Knights had so much potential to be amazing but man oh man the execution was so disappointing not to mentioned focusing on live service elements for this game development really didn't help anyone in the long run which includes me in this category because i was one of the few people who was excited about this game included having a bat family game fighting the court of owls would be really awesome and tons of fun but unfortnately the execution was so disappointing at least in my opinion.
Loved these videos went and watched them all for the batman games, you should do these types of videos for the spiderman games as well. Just a thought I would definitely watch
10:08 that fade away sequence says it all haha
I really want a sequel in the future
You're trippin bro😂
@@TETEFIEND nope
Terrible gaming taste you have really
Hahaha you’re ducking crazy this game was shit did you start playing video games yesterday?
Me too and anyone who don't like or want one don't have to play it it's simple 🤷♂️ I really want some DLC and some Batman DLC leading up to the fight in the Bat cave also.
I love the Arkham series so much (Asylum is still the best). I didn't even give this one a try.
Ooh wow, I’m really early! I’m sure I’ll enjoy the video, even though I haven’t played the game and don’t plan to
I picked this up in the WB 100 year anniversary bundle. I'm about 20 hours in. If I had paid full price for this game, I'd be very upset. Having paid $15 for this, plus every Arkham game (except Blackgate), both Injustice games, 2 Mortal Kombat games, both Shadow of Mordor games, Mad Max...this game was 100% worth the money.
While the gameplay was definitely mid, the one thing I firmly believe Gotham Knights got right was the character interactions: this is the best written these characters have been since the animated TV show (and the Red Hood movie in Jason Todd's case)
Not for Nightwing
And that's the problem. Gamers like you give a pass for lackluster gameplay and mechanics because of a decent story...
I appreciate a good story within a game too.. but that should NEVER be the priority over GAMEPLAY.
Go watch a TV series or movie for that shit.. I just want my video game to be fun before everything else
@@pakman0049Bingo
it s not about the graphics. The combat is so slow,when u are playing on pc is verry frustrating when u press the mouse and u see how your character reacts. The vehicle is slow,looks like is going verry fast but nope,it s so slow.
Congrats on getting 200K!
Nobody talks about this game at all to the point that even I didnt even knew this game existed until today
I replayed this game a few months ago and I can still say that I thoroughly enjoyed it the only downside about his game I think is that he should have more story DLC with some of his more famous villains, and definitely more costumes. Maybe explain the city a little bit more.
7:16 Looking forward to people saying this game is underrated when the Suicide Squad game drops lmao
Honestly…I wouldn’t be surprised if that does happen, I was definitely not impressed when the last footage of it came out.
@@JsReviews Oh yeah it looks so boring
In a world where Spiderman 2 has come out? I don't think so.
If anything people will simply gravitate more to the old arkham games especially arkham knight.
@@baki484 I was half joking lul
"Overdesigned"
I didnt know what I hated about the characters looks until you said that. But that's EXACTLY what it is. Just stuff on stuff "for the look". Nice eyes man.🤔👍
I can't believe it's already been a year
Congratulations on hitting 200K subs J. Ashamed that the first game you're covering after hitting that milestone is pretty lackluster. And on a related note. I'm really worried that the upcoming Suicide Squad title could be Rocksteady's last game.
I beat it 3 times…
The third time was an accident. To be real I enjoyed the game
I uninstalled the game after the first mission wtf has to be wrong with your head that you replay the game 3 times get help….
@@kevg1060 does the idea of someone liking a game that you didn’t even play that foreign to you?
@@Pilot_Warden what’s foreign to me is that only someone with the brain of a fuxking potato would be able to play the game once let alone 3 damn times 🤦🏽♂️. You need fucking help dude 😭.
@@Pilot_Warden like what even is you sad shitty lonely life that you play this 3/10 game 3 TIMES 😭.
I doubt they’re gonna add new characters (though I’d be surprised if they did lol) but I think Batwoman would sound like a cool addition on paper since they could just mix the batgirl and red hood playstyles together and everything
Really love the Court of Owls in the comic, so was really sad on how they're portrayed here...
I liked this game a lot, it's a lot of fun. I've played through it twice and really enjoy it.
I disagree, no one found the story appealing. After the Arkham games, people wanted more Batman, not hipster versions of his sidekicks
That manbat fight looked like it took awhile 😂
Fr me Mecha Freeze was horrible. I kept dying.
It's pretty cool how some of the assassins are probably North African, as they speak Tamazight, the language of the Amazigh and the game shows their dialogue script in the Tifinagh alphabet. It's nice seeing the indigenous North Africans getting some love with this head nod.
cant say i had high hopes for this game because arkham origins sucked hard and this just shows that wb montreal dont know how to make a good game lol the closest they did was that batgirl dlc for arkham knight which was just dlc ... and the writing in gotham knights is freakin atrocious like one of those cringely gang members telling a fire alarm to shut up and to 'die die die die!!!!' lmao who wrote that ?
Cause its cheap. Feels like another cheap semi-online game that rushing to a fading dream.
What we need is a Batman Beyond game.
I loved playing as Robin in Gotham Knights. Think the voice actor for GK Robin would make a great Spider-man. 😊
Pretty sure Montreal will not make another Batman due to this and that sucks due to Origin is my favourite. But i'm pretty sure they have lost all good will.😢😢😢
the gameplay is fine. its not just a button smasher theres a thing called timed strike i think a lot of people overlook.
Are you fucking high? The gameplay is literally just mashing X and Y you’re crazy
@@kevg1060 he’s not high, he played the game. Unlike you
@@Pilot_Warden you’re an actually retard how would I know the main fighting buttons are x and y if I haven’t played it 🤦🏽♂️. The game is shit and you’re coping. Probably a casual gamer who doesn’t understand what makes a real game
The spot with the gauntlet of rooms where you stopped doing side quests is where I just full stopped playing the game. That area was fully obnoxious and the rest of the game wasn't good enough for me to forgive it.
Like a lot of newer games coming out I was interested in the story and once I beat it, there’s no drive to continue.
I really wish this game didn't have to be compared to the Batman games of yester year
When your part of a long running series, that's to be expected.
@@kap1618 Of course. But Gotham Knights is not an Arkham game.
@@kap1618
But it's not "part of a long running series". It's its own thing.
Like how the Telltale games were their own thing. They didn't get slammed for not being like Arkham. Because they were their own thing.
A Gotham game without Batman? GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS!!! 🥴
dawg I won't cap, the only reason that man bat doesn't call for backup is cuz that's the only one that doesn't
congrats on getting 200k subs
really wasnt bad at all, it got overhated because it wasnt an amazing 9/10 game like the arkham games and people love hopping on hate trains, 6-7/10 games are allowed to exist and can still be enjoyed believe it or not, not every game has to be a masterpiece. i personally enjoyed a good 60 hours with the game and had a great time with it
The coop made it super fun and the 4 player mode they added for the end is fun too. I enjoyed it.
So basically mid ..
@WeaponXgamer1 if you consider 7/10 "mid" which makes no sense, that term has no meaning
@@largebig79 he also said 6/10 .. mid
@@largebig79 to him it’s 7/10 and you. To me it was 5/10 the grinding and repetitiveness killed the game for me.
I genuinely really liked this game. It was no masterpiece but I didn't need it to be. It was just fun, to me at least.
The biggest sin was that all of them already had movesets from the previous arkham games and all they had to do was polish that and release a game and they wouldve made a ton of money
There are timed strikes, and you can chain together ceitical hits, its exactly qhat you were talking about in arkham. You rime the steikes they are faster and critical
It's funny how Arkham Knight was a last gen release, and I'm pretty sure it was either 60fps or a high constant 30fps
While Gorham knights struggled
It didnt suck. It was a fun game, just not the one most people wanted.
I mean barely into the game but I can already see the issues lot of ppl had with it. Sure it’s not that bad but it’s not that great either. Just kinda fun.
6:17 that small green symbol looks like a you-know-what lol
i liked it, if they add more content i will play it again
I actually liked Gotham Knights for the characters and the unique Bat-Family story. Not every game needs to be a masterpiece. It's ok to just be a good time, and I had a good time with this one.
I’m so glad it didn’t copy Arkham.
As someone who has truly deeply explored GK combat system I can honestly say it’s the most fun and engaging combat I’ve ever experienced in a superhero game.
It may not be for everyone as it doesn’t make you feel incredible at first. You really have to work at it. Which I enjoyed because I feel like I truly earned something.
Games such as Arkham and Spider-Man are a blast as well but I’ve always found them to be very easy and I get bored of them in end game very quickly because there just isn’t much challenge.
GK on the other hand…I am over 800 hrs in and I’m STILL discovering new combat techniques, missions and traversal tricks.
And that’s all still with just Nightwing.
I’ve barely touched the other Knights but when I do I know I’ll have That much more to love.
I appreciate your opinion.
But I truly love this game more than any other. 😊
Check out some of my Gameplay if you like.
Ps
“Doesn’t require skill” yet you weren’t doing timed strikes and you were playing quite incorrectly.
No offense. Just an observation.
Thank. You.
This game wasn't perfect, but it was quite good. The problem is the endless comparisons to Arkham, which J even tried to defend. But it was always meant to be a completely different style game.
If you wouldn't compare it to the Batman Telltale games (which were also quite successful), why do you insist on comparing it to the Arkham Games?
@@DerrickUltima100% in fact no game is perfect. Including everyone’s precious Arkham.
The most annoying thing is when I see people complaining about the GK combat as they upload footage of them playing wrong. 😂
I can’t believe it’s been a year already
Props to whoever designed the Batmobile in Arkham knight I was having so much fun I didn’t even know the game had fast travel
Omg wb said multiple times that Gotham Knights would be it's own thing and not to compare it to the Arkham games but people like j of course did not listen 😅
And J has shown times throughout the video that he is well aware that it is it’s own thing however it’s inevitable to compare since it’s still a superhero/batman related game. It’s like saying you can’t compare X-men origins Wolverine uncaged with the new Insomniac Wolverine since it is it’s own thing. Which it’s true it is but it will always draw comparison.
@WeaponXgamer1 well he shouldn't compare
@@tyleroutland435 Regardless of comparison or not .. the game was mid. No 60fps and the combat was not even that good. Required no real skill.
@@Mr.PR2000 you are wrong
@@tyleroutland435 How am i wrong? All you have to do is level up your character,use the right modchips for your gear and upgrade them to the best power level possible … once you got that your character is mad OP and all you gotta do is button mash,use the special ability and dodge … that’s it ..
I'm pretty tired of RPG mechanics like character stats being shoved into games they don't belong. Your character's skill mattering as much as (if not more than) your own is kind of the whole point of a roleplaying game where you design your own character with a distinct personality and skillset, and games like this really don't fit that bill. And even then, few RPGs these days do have stats matter more than player skill. I think both can work for RPGs, but outside those, I just don't get the point behind stuff like "+5% crit chance" in other games besides padding. And actually, I'm not the biggest fan of cheap, uncreative perks like that even in RPGs.
On that note, both in and outside RPGs, I'm kinda picky about what levelling systems I like. I've found Arkham Knight's kind of disappointing on my current playthrough, for instance, because of perks taking multiple upgrade points and because so many simply don't interest me, and I find myself missing some from prior games. But I guess that's kind of beside the point. Plus, despite levels and perks, the Arkham games are still ones where player skill absolutely matters, and the games can be fun without upgrading at all, while perks can carry you if needed.
Some of the maps looks dope. Mayyyybe someone can rip the map models to make a L4D2 Campaign?
I personally enjoyed gotham knights but I didn't know there was a glide feature but I also didn't think there would be one since I played as red hood which normally doesn't have a cape but I haven't played a super hero game since asylum which I did play solo
Gotham knights looked visually awesome don't listen to him
I think Gotham knights is interesting and good why don’t you like it?
I think it was appealing but a couple of mechanics away from being really good. I think the gameplay is everyone’s true issue. I saw the reveal video of the jumpy roll, stop, roll, stop gameplay. Your character does this jerky jump around thing when you dodge and it’s has a little pause right at the end of it making it probably the most stiff game ever. That on top of the last Batman game releasing in 2015! And this one came out like this. It’s all of that and the avengers loot system in the game that sucks
I never knew this game even released after the announcement trailer. Heard not a peep, smh
Hmmm i wonder will you do a review on final fantasy 16
Comparing a game that said it's wasn't an Arkham game to an "Arkham Game" is so dumb
Yes I agree
People compare different games to each other all the time. People compared this to the Avengers game even though it’s not Marvel. Besides the creators are hypocritical, they compared this game to the Arkham games themselves
This game don’t suck dude
WB, seeing all the success of spider-man 2018 in reviews and sales, decided to copy it but they made everything worse: story, combat gameplay, stealth gameplay, traversal, graphics and suits.Whose idea was it to start a DC gaming universe with this? I hope they fire that dude, god bless James Gunn for canceling this stuff and making game connected to his movies.
My biggest issues with this game are that to play some parts you. HAVE to customize your character there is no defeating clayface AT ALL if you don't have fire equipment, and I just found out about this after almost having a breakdown on stream from getting my ass kick for more than an hour straight cause I had the concussion/ice set equipped. This would be fine it it were at all relevant in the rest of the game but it wasn't and it even wasn't very important before this point in this side quest. Second and this is very small but actually really irritating given how long I had to look at it, Nightwing arms straight up break when using the glider which is awful to look at. And third and most important, they shouldn't have brought Bruce back, for many reasons, but mostly because everybody was expecting it and they didn't really make it that important and most of all, Bruce, independent of his trust in his team would not, EVER commit suicide, specially because it's not like that's the only solution at the end. It feels forced as hell even more so than bringing him back.
