    Under the Mayo has REALLY stupid takes.
    -The Batmobile hate is exaggerated. It's starting to sound like a broken record at this point.
    -The hate Mayo has for the cutscene when Batman gets the new suit, is ridiculously forced and makes no sense. Batman recently got a new suit, and rescuing the hostage is the perfect time to put the new suit on because he can do the Fear Takedown in the new suit. And a tutorial helps u learn the new Fear Takedown mechanic. There is no problem here. This is probably the dumbest take, out of all of these really dumb takes.
    -Mayo hates that the game makes Batman cool... dafuq?
    -So, the faster grapple gun is not grounded. Batman regularly defeating 20 enemies at once by himself, Poison Ivy's plant powers, Solomon Grundy, Ra's al Ghul, the Joker virus, Man-Bat, all of that's grounded?

    The Batmobile is way to Overhated for many reasons. The main reason is that it’s the FIRST time we use it in the Arkham games so Ofc it’s not gonna be perfect. Look at the combat in asylum. They could’ve had it like city but didn’t. It was the first iteration in asylum and they evolved it over the games, same with the predator sections.
    Y’all should judge the batmobile under the same circumstances
    Also he complains about the repetitive nature of the Batmobile…. Whilst ignoring how repetitive the gameplay is, you have on foot combat then predator section rinse and repeat, so why do they get a pass? If you say ‘gadgets’ then the Batmobile also gets multiple gadgets throughout the game
    Not to mention he complains about the suit which is worse in insomniac Spider-Man ps4, there’s a whole cutscene and characters praising the suit Which is worse Spider-Man ‘corn’ but Batman bad because the game teaches you
    With the grapple hook, Arkham city literally gives you an upgrade so you can do something similar in the game. Arkham knight just makes you faster because of the suit ‘don’t worry, that suit can take the Gs’
    The game isn’t ‘objectively better’ city is, being worse than the best ain’t bad at all. It’s better than asylum

    Batman Arkham Knight is a game where Batman literally has to fight a army? A captain with thousands of men with guns, rockets,tanks,drones, helicopters, artillery you name it. Batman has never faced something like this before he's use to common thugs with weapons but not trained soldiers. So why are people surprised a lot of the gameplay is using the batmobile?

    • @rpminergabe2953

      Making a story that necessitates a lot of batmobile usage doesnt negate criticism of the Batmobile. The issue isnt that he uses the batmobile, I doubt anyone actually says that, it's that he uses the batmobile as often as he does, when the controls for it are less than stellar, and batmobile gameplay just comes off as overly repetitive.

It doesn't suck because it didn't turn out exactly how you wanted it. You would rather accept Gotham knights because it has a fine story but awful gameplay, rather than knight which has amazing gameplay and a good story because of a single aspect.

    Unpopular opinion, I like the Batmobile, I like how Rocksteady introduced a Batmobile combat mechanic with it being the first of its kind in the Arkham series, it shows that Batman isn’t a god and that his tools are essential, I like the driving, the power slide (drifting) is done well and makes tight turns easy once you get the hang of it, the side thrusts help put an end to most militia chase bits quickly, and the afterburner really give reminiscent Batman: The Animated Series vibes, and the sound and visuals have really made me feel like I’m going fast in a way no other car mechanic in a game has really made me feel. Everything in this game feels both heavier and lighter in all the right ways for me. I’ll personally always prefer Knight over city, but I can totally understand why people would choose city over knight.

    I can kinda see where he’s coming from, for one I think that Batman as a whole is a better character when dealing with smaller enemy counts, and its why I consider Origins the better game combat wise then City, as for the Batmobile, I think the chases work well, and make sense for Batman, but the drone fights don’t fit in my opinion since it feels over the top for Batman since he always felt like a street level hero for me, and the tank has a similar to “he can beat anything with prep time” crap. For the upgrade tree, I get the bloat, because less options that are more meaningful over a lot of less meaningful options, although I don’t think this is the case here.

But then again, he simps for Doom Eternal so it's to be expected. Side note, I'm not criticizing Doom Eternal, it's a really fun game, I'm saying that Under the Mayo is a hypocrite.

    He made it halfway through the Harley Quinn section? THAT'S THE BEST PART OF THE GAME! It provides an intricate indoor environment where you get to play as Batman and Robin in shared battles and stealth encounters, and some important events are revealed that ultimately have fallout leading into the finale. And no forced use of the Batmobile, instead encouraging you to use every gadget you have (and later acquire) to find all collectibles and riddles.
    He barely made it halfway into the story, and we're supposed to believe he just knows the game is "half" Batmobile?

    There's two games in particular that I cannot *stand* in any way, that I consider rotten to their core with absolutely nothing enjoyable about them.
    I'm talking about Legend of Zelda: BotW and its sequel TotK - these two games transitioned the series away from its fantastic 'traditional' formula, instead experimenting with the open-world format...and, in my book, they were massive failures. They have none of the heart and soul of previous games, focusing far too much on exploration, neglecting the actual player experience. For one thing, there's absolutely minimal map markers, giving the player no sense of direction or guidance, which for me saps my motivation to continue playing.
    Additionally, the presence of the limited stamina and weapon fragility mechanics are nothing but hindrances, forcing the player to wait for an arbitrary gauge to refill before they can continue sprinting or climbing or gliding or swimming; as for weapon fragility, that makes *every* weapon and shield feel like tissue paper, extremely unrewarding no matter how rare they are or how cool they visually look.
    Dungeons have also been simplified to an extreme, with repetitive puzzles, no dungeon items, no minibosses, and just generally being much worse than even Ocarina of Time's dungeons - the first 3D Zelda game. The main thing "Legend of Zelda" is known for, as a franchise, is its dungeons, yet the Divine Beasts and Temples in BotW and TotK respectively fail to continue this legacy in any way. The Shrines are no substitute, being separated, some being combat challenges with no puzzles, and some stripping you of everything you've collected (not a fun challenge, this).
    That same challenge is present in BotW in the form of Eventide Island and the Master Sword Trials, which absolutely ruins them and makes them unfairly hellish. They're already difficult enough *with* your gear and food; why take them away?
    As for this version of Princess Zelda...I really don't get why she's so popular. In BotW she doesn't appear outside of easily missable flashbacks (that you're likely to find _out of sequence_ making it even worse) and the ending cutscene. In TotK she appears in the prologue, then again isn't seen outside of easily missable flashbacks and the ending. Compare this to previous Princess Zeldas, such as the Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess incarnations, which actually interact with Link multiple times and have actual presence.
    BotW/TotK Zelda is also the absolute *worst* in terms of personality too, being stubborn, hot-headed, and far too wilful for her own good. Heck, the catastrophe present in BotW's backstory only happened because she selfishly refused to listen to and obey her wise, kingly father, who requested she learn how to handle her royal protective magic; instead of doing this, she wasted her time studying the Divine Beasts, a duty any man could've done. As a result, she was unprepared for Ganon's return, directly leading to the death of her father, a lot of Hyrulean citizens, and the destruction of the kingdom. GREAT JOB, ZELDA.
    I can't stand this girl.
    And I can say all this because I suffered through the *entirety* of both games. Damn-near 100%ed them, as much as I could - all spirit orbs, all Korok Seeds, all glowing frogs (in TotK), the works. I had to use an online map for this, to circumvent the lack of map markers and guidance (thanks a lot, Nintendo), and they are games I NEVER want to touch ever again. They're godawful and Nintendo should immediately return to the 'traditional' formula if they want this franchise to return to being fun, enjoyable, replayable games.

    As someone who is also not a Batman fan and has only played Arkham Knight and not the other games in the series, I think I’m in a unique place to respond to Mayo’s video. It’s also worth mentioning that I beat the game 120% (yes, I even got all the Riddler trophies).
    Personally, I didn’t mind the Batmobile. Yes, I can see how could feel it was overused, but that’s also sort of a weird argument to me. It’s the Batmobile! One of Batman’s most iconic tools. If they had just made it a simple car to drive around in, that would’ve been lame. Yeah, the tank combat could have been better, but it wasn’t bad.
    His complaints about the combat and “too much crap on screen” don’t resonate with me. I’m not even all that good at this game and it wasn’t too much for me. I’m actually replaying it again because I failed to fully understand all the complexities of the combat the first time.
    The upgrade system was fine. It only didn’t make sense to me because I was still trying to understand the combat at a basic level and didn’t know what would be the most useful. That’s a me problem though.
    The “Batman Porn” comment is just absurd. I don’t understand how that one cutscene invoked such a negative reaction from him. Like, he gets so worked up about it that I was waiting for him to say something borderline homophobic. As this is a superhero game a “suit up” scene is expected, and this one comes with actual gameplay upgrades. It did make me feel badass, which I would say is good…I’m playing as one of the most iconic superheroes, right? I ought to feel badass.
    Sorry for the wall of text. But I definitely agree that UnderTheMayo just didn’t give the game a shot.

    The tanks in Arkham Knight were AI controlled which is why you use lethal force on them. There were exactly two tanks that had people in them. The cloud burst tank and the one Slade was in.
    Edit: another reason why the people controlling the tanks might not have noticed anything around the tanks is due to severe brain damage from training for the events in the story

  • @Montesama314
    @Montesama314 Місяць тому

    I would argue that while the Batmobile doesn't take much of a raw percentage of the campaign or side missions total, it'll vary from person to person as to whether it FEELS like it's a bore that drags down the overall package.
    Personally, in my first playthrough, I was fine with tank combat or occasional use in collecting Riddler trophies, but I fucking HATED going through the few instances of tank stealth and I squinted suspiciously at the concept of a racetrack being treated as a "riddle".

    First, about Arkham asylum, I finished it in 5 hours. Arkham asylum AND CITY can easily be finished in one IRL night (minus the riddler stuff) I should know. I have done this. Now, the criticisms of Arkham Knight... The batmobile is rather well introduced since it's the first time we can use it actively in an Arkham game. Anyone complaining about it like this guy is probably CONSTANTLY AND ONLY USED THE BATMOBILE EVERY CHANCE HE GOT! Like yeah, the batmobile has problems.
    Here's PROPER criticisms on the batmobile. It gets clunkier the faster it gets and combat wise, the tank mode is rather lacking and the turret is highly inconsistent when hitting the weak points on remote controlled tanks. HOWEVER I found the batmobile really likeable and entertaining when you combine the modes. When driving, instead of hitting brake to turn, enter tank mode and spin the camera in the direction you want to go then return to car mode. In tank mode, when enemies there are loads of projectiles and you doubt you can avoid them all, switch to car mode and boost away before switching back to tank mode.
    Next, the actual combat... actually, no. You are saying everything I would say. So thank you for everything you said about my favourite Arkham game.
    Edit: HE REVIEWS GAMES EVEN IF HE DOESNT FINISH THEM?! I played Redfall. I hated it but wanted to finish it to give an honest review.

      A better approach may have been to space out it's use in story missions a bit more so it felt less like yhe devs were pushing it on us and more like a more organic escalation of the mrasures Batman needed to take in order to meet a growing threat.

The combat is the snappiest and most demanding of your attention in the series. Also kind of funny that he didn’t once touch on probably the best stealth in all of gaming, the amount of things it throws at you with the amount of ways you can engage with it is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done.

    I still truly do not understand all the hate surrounding the Batmobile parts of the game, it's really not the most awful thing in the world, those parts of the game can be fun if you just have fun with it! Sure the Riddler races can get annoying and even frustrating at times but frustrating parts come with every game. Are there a lot of tank fighting sections? Yes but I think taking on an entire army of tanks makes me feel badass especially since you do it all by yourself. I may be in the minority here but I really don't think the Batmobile was as terrible as everyone says it is, there are other games out there with far worse vehicle mechanics. Regardless Arkham Knight is a fun game and this doods review of it is awful.
