    Batman: Gotham Knights for that Playstation 5 is a game that got nearly universally panned when it released 4 months ago. And because I'm silly, I decided that OF COURSE, I would go and 100 percent the dang thing. Here's Gotham Knights and the DLC 100% so you don't have to. Also the comic. There's a comic book.

    FINALLY GOTHAM KNIGHTS HAS ARRIVED. There was a small scheduling mishap so this was originally supposed to be the first video of the year, but it is what it is. When I originally tossed this into the ring as a potential poll option, I wasn't expecting it to win, let alone take 40 percent of the vote. But well, I'm glad y'all picked it. Is Gotham Knights a trash fire like everyone says or is there something a little more? Also there's a comic. That's cool.
    Let me know other deep dives and "100 percent" videos y'all want me to check out. There's a big one, Avengers that's gonna be getting it's final patch soon so... that seems like a good idea?? Bad Idea?? IDK

  • @BoyWithTheCoolName
    @BoyWithTheCoolName Рік тому +66

    My best friend and I were so hyped for this game. We were pumped for a Arkham styled CO-OP experience and we had played really bad games before, so we felt we were adequately prepared. We preordered it on PC, but neither of us could have foreseen just how bad the performance issues were. I would get ~20FPS outside in the open world, and at some points it even dipped into the single digits. Once, it even dropped below 1FPS because one random enemy was slowing down the game BIG TIME during a fight. But inside buildings and underground, I would get a perfect 60FPS. The whole open world was woefully unoptimized to the point where I couldn't ride the bat-cycle without outpacing the world loading around me. I have a decent rig that is able to run Arkham Knight on ultra at a stable 60FPS, but it barely met the minimum requirements for Gotham Knights.
    We were disappointed by the massive technical issues that held back the game. The game on its own is average with potential, probably getting a passing grade of a C, but the technical issues really kept drove our score further and further down. When they introduced that patch in early November, the game got very unstable. We learned that if either of us crashed, we BOTH had to close and relaunch the game, otherwise the game would still think we were in a lobby together. When we beat the game, it crashed on the credits for both of us. We uninstalled it almost immediately. We didn't even wait for the 4 player CO-OP mode to come out, so I'm glad you covered that in the video.
    But you know that WB didn't have any faith in the game when it didn't get a season pass; hell, leaked screenshots from the Suicide Squad game shows that it already has a season pass. The way I see it is that WB had two options when it came to Gotham Knights: either give the devs more time to polish the game or to push the game out and move the majority of the team elsewhere. We already know what option they picked, so let's hope Suicide Squad is good enough to justify them sacrificing Gotham Knights for it.

      That is the issue at hand, they don't have more time. Atleast, not in the companies eyes the vast majority of the time. They say "I want Gotham Knights done in 3? years" and when that three years is up they can probably squeeze a delay or two but much more than that and they're bleeding money that could be spent on the salaries of workers on a better game.
      Which even hurts it more so with reviews, you release a 60ish hour game and the reviewer who NEEDS the clicks and views right away only can spend a bit of time playing it before they uninstall it and move on to the next game on their to do list that is likely coming out when the deadline for them to be relevant or in the case of big review sites, actual deadline for the review.
      There is also a massive echo chamber and more people like negative reviews than positive ones, because its more cathartic to see a thrashing.

      yea i think if they work on the technical side, give you what you got at the end of the game at the start of the next one such as traversal, scrap the rpg aspects (power level stresses me out if its not maxed gear lmfao) and tweak the combat a bit(please just ADD PARRIES), it has some serious potential

    Dude, that final charming scene that you were talking about was shown as a trailer at one point I think. I remember that was one of the first things I ever saw of Gotham knights and I thought the whole game was going to be like that, which I was not excited about. Having it be bookended as the last thing is way way better than being the first thing you saw lol

    Holy shit I haven't gotten a notification on your account in a hot minute. Great video and really happy you reviewed this. I played it with a friend as our first game we played together in years and despite the issues it was a really fun and great time that ended in a nightmare fight where my friend who isn't as much of a gamer ended up saving the final hard mode fight flailing around like a madman and chipping her down. It's a great game and glad to played it. The sole thing I really wish is if it just had more. More polish, more content, more story. I know Suicide Squad is being done by another team, but I cant help but thank Gotham Knights for being that gateway game to get into gaming more with a friend I haven't had much time to really do anything with. It's special to me and sucks to see so many people dumpster it as hard as it is. It's what gets exhausting about the gaming community and the internet as a whole where it just becomes a never ending navigation of trying to avoid kicking a seemingly never ending amount of hornets nests over any and everything.
    Happy belated birthday and the last time I think I saw a vid you had blue hair haha. Another cool thing Gotham Knights had unexpectedly brought to me is your channel and I'm sure a decent backlog.

    One cutscene in the game has both players. When you're escaping from the mines and they're blowing up and youre being chased by the owl dudes. Your character opens up the door at the end and looks back before going through it. If you're with a friend, when your character looks back, your buddy runs through the door before you follow after him. Only cutscene in the entire game at least that I know of.

I'll be honest there were multiple times I wanted to stop playing and go on to something else (Whenever I did I couldn't think of anything else to play so I kept playing.) As I kept at it past the opening hours however I couldn't put it down and ended up enjoying myself. The problems I have with Gotham Knights I just wish it wasn't so grindy and enemies weren't so bullet spongey even when you're level capped it was annoying.

I don't have any interest in any kind of multiplayer in my games, and playing a single player campaign that is obviously meant to be multiplayer is frustrating as hell (looking at you, every borderlands after the first one). So I may have to check this one out. Cheers.

    Calling Gotham Knight a 7/10 is pretty bold; I'd call it a 5/10 *at best.* Like, I know Origins is much maligned, but outside of the early technical issues I think it's pretty great - certainly better than Arkham Knight in some aspects. So you'd think that the studio that made Origins would be able to make another quasi-Arkham gam, but for whatever reason the entire damn thing is built around an open world stat-based lootfest with crafting mechanics and if anything that's a deathblow combo for any game. Add to that boring and weightless combat that lacks any sort of impact and you arrive at a game that should have been pivoted substantially and early on.

    I definitely think people who are more familiar with Bat family lore will get more out of this game than people thinking it's another Arkham game. Comic fans have been waiting forever for all these characters to come together. There is so much more story and substance to experiment with just Batman vs Gotham's rouges gallery. I'm sad for the mid reception for something I think was a step in the right direction. It would be amazing if they ever made a Batman movie that wasn't just another origin story.
