Right because arkham knight definitely didn't have ridiculously predictable twist or tedious, unskipable tank combat, or a lack of actual boss battles, and it definitely didn't have the worst pc launch ever.
Arkham knight had a nonsensical main story and you could tell rocksteady just didn’t care anymore and wanted to move on. City and asylum are so much better
if they somehow simplified a already simple combat system then thats impressive. what made it great in arkham is the smoothness and a little bit of skill.
Arkham's battle system was already very laid back, stunning enemies with the cape and punching them really fast was fun, it's weird that they felt the need to simplify a system that uses mostly 2 buttons
Agreed. One or two missions allowing you to use the Batmobile in combat would have been cool and most people would have enjoyed it. Replacing most of the boss battles with tank battles was a terrible decision, though. Pretty much the only misstep Rocksteady made in that entire triology, tbh.
When arkham knight, everyone supposedly hated it and called it a buggy mess. (Sound familiar) oh but NOW it's suddenly the pinnacle, and any other batman game should bow to it?

A Guardians of the Galaxy style game with the Batman the Animated Series crew would rock. You'd get Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski's Dark Deco world without falling into the trappings of open world games plus you get still get sidekicks with streamlined combat & progression.

Games are a hell of a lot more expensive to make nowadays. 20 years ago it costed around 1-5 million to make a triple A title, now it costs a minimum of 100 million. With more and more money involved creativity is taken away from studios and investors want proven formulas that bring players in and keep their attention. Now those formulas are outdated and don't work like they use to. Just look at how many times Ubisoft has used the FC/AC formula for over a decade and now players are burnt out.
Nah they just keep tryin new stuff and half assing it and stop dropping obviously flawed games because the fix was "more than the console could handle"
They should've kept to what they were doing with the Arkham series. Arkham knight was great but it had it's issues to especially when it came to management. The PC port was badly handled and the game never really did much after release. The dlc was subpar and they never updated the game to run at higher fps on newer gen consoles. For a high octane arkham game to release nowadays it needs 60 fps
Well, they're based in Montreal which means most of the people working on this game didn't get hired because on their talents or skills but because they fill "diversity and inclusion" quotas and because they check the right gender and race boxes, so what were people honestly expecting.
Why they didn't take the source code from Arkham Knight, put the Bat family in Batman's place (each one with a different gameplay), improve the graphics, design new missions, write a new story, and it's done, game of the year material, they already did this with Batman Arkham Origins.

@@jetlian uuuuh yea? Timing combos, challenging yourself further on harder difficulties, getting heavily rewarded for it, you didn't need gear score to be better for it and memorizing your timing is skill

Why do they always want to kill Batman, they could have easily kept Batman alive while you play one of the Sidekicks, he could have operated as a type of Mission control off doing his own thing while sending you off on your own missions. What's with the world these days where they always want to kill off or destroy the classic heroes.
Um court of owls is in it…just because this moron reviewer said they didn’t have a big presence doesn’t mean anything, until you play it you won’t know if it satisfies you. Think for yourself
What was the need to make 4 characters, just two characters would have been enough. They had to record and animate so much because all 4 characters can be used in every mission. It was such a huge waste of money
@@UmarAli-zc8xs After watching all the reviews it seems they wasted alot of resources on the characters and nothing else. Even combat is meh. If 80% of your game is players engaging in combat then that should be the most enjoyable aspect of your game 🤦🏽
In one of the trailers, we caught a glimpse of pick ups showing multiple crafting materials or currencies. Instant red flag. Unfortunately, it showed what's true.
Imagine a city filled with petty thieves and robbers who would kill a woman for 10 bucks just leave equipment and gear worth millions of dollars just lying around in every street of Gotham. Makes perfect sense
Idk why some are saying that combat is boring. The Arkham games have THE most boring combat ever. It’s literally just punch, punch, counter, punch, punch, batarang, punch, counter, repeat. Most of the fights you don’t even have to move. You can literally stand in one spot and win…but yet the combat in that game is praised for being so fun and innovative…when it’s not. At least in this game you have to actively dodge, you get different weapon types, different characters that aren’t DLC, & abilities. This game isn’t perfect, but what he said about the combat was pretty biased imo. All he said was “it was boring.” Didn’t even give a reason for it.
U just plain dumb and don't have any creativity, u can stand still and win a fight, or you can use your brain and try all the gadgets and combos the arkham games has to offer
Games haven’t been the same in years. Idk why people expect so much from every gaming company. When we haven’t got much from any of them in years. Gotta go into games like this with not super low but mediocre expectations. And to all the people saying they wasted money, it’s $70. No offense but that’s literally nothing. Barely fills my tank. Think we need a higher level of intellect and maturity in the gaming community. And any negative replies you might as well keep them, you will get no response from me. This is just my opinion
These Dev teams lost the fun out of gaming 😭 they mistake it for GRINDING and boring side quest. Same like what Assassin Creed went through 💀 for a few years.
u know they will...rocksteady knows what they are doing at least when it comes to game mechanics...im sure they wont hand us half assed RPG and co op shite...
@Victor Nieves Yeah because they aren't protagonists. If you want to play as side characters, then have that as an option, but to actually prevent you from playing as the titular character, for no real reason is just a nonsensical creative choice.
@Victor Nieves Different medium. In a tv show/movie/comic, you have limited time to go through the story. Sometimes a creator would need to exclude Batman to put all the time into that other character who lacks exploration. In a video game, there is literally no reason why they couldn't just create a Batman character. There is no page limit, or run-time. Just different characters to play as, except Batman. That makes no sense.
This game grew on me and I’m happy that people are starting to debunk this review. It was clunky at first but everything just keeps getting better and better. Re-evaluate this, IGN. It doesn’t deserve a 5. Lol
yeah, Im glad the sentiment is changing. Its selling really well as a game, and people are realizing the reviews were wong. New generation dont even read reviews anymore.
This game is awesome don’t listen to this biased review from someone who didn’t understand the game. If you look most gamers who haven’t beaten the game have continued to try and fight against this review
Arkham knight deserved the criticism it got like the boss fights and repetitive tank missions but u never saw complaints about the core game mechanics and how smooth, polished, and detailed everything is
Just played Arkham Knight on PlayStation 5 again. What a great experience. Will wait 2 years when this game is $10 and pick it up. Very disappointing considering Origins was so much fun.
Exurbia game honestly does not look that bad it was doomed to have a bad score just because it’s constantly getting compared to The Arkham games when it isn’t made bumpy the same people it’s not even classified as the same game
@@doetoe6759 the point I'm trying to make. Just because this reviewer gave it a 5, doesn't mean it's a 5 for everyone. Someone out there will thought that this game is great and doesn't deserve a 5.
Rocksteady did set the bar so high, it's gonna be hard to top that. But this looks just embarrassing for 70$ and all the years of wasted potential.. 30 frames=30$bucks.
People need to stop comparing this to Arkham. It’s not the same game nor is it meant to be. Not having control of your character? Not when you’ve been frozen. Poor counter mechanic? Only when you miss and fail (as shown in this video) Easy predictions? That’s life, almost every movie and game is predictable by miles. Just enjoy it for what it is without the comparison.
WB was also kinda responsible for the painful experience that was MK11. They just make games for kids now. We who built them up have been tossed aside and it hurts man.
This game was in development for 8 years…. And they tore it apart in 10 minutes
Ouch/oof

How the fk is it in development for 8 years when it looks it spent 8 minutes in QA?!
they should have dropped the RPG and co op element and gone with the arkham formula...why fix something that isnt broken... still buying it tho

and also the color palette. this one is too colorful to be gotham

They should have never tried to turn it into an action RPG, almost every game is trying to be that.... So many are failing to do that.
One of the worst trends in the last decade. So much more padding, worse pacing, and less attention to physics/AI.

@@UmarAli-zc8xs After watching all the reviews it seems they wasted alot of resources on the characters and nothing else. Even combat is meh. If 80% of your game is players engaging in combat then that should be the most enjoyable aspect of your game 🤦🏽
In one of the trailers, we caught a glimpse of pick ups showing multiple crafting materials or currencies. Instant red flag. Unfortunately, it showed what's true.
Imagine a city filled with petty thieves and robbers who would kill a woman for 10 bucks just leave equipment and gear worth millions of dollars just lying around in every street of Gotham. Makes perfect sense
Just started replaying this, I'm enjoying it definitely not as bad as everyone says imo.
me too! just got it on gamepass and I'm enjoying it so far, many of the framerate issues and bugs have been fixed
I’ve just started and yeah, it has it flaws, but I’m really enjoying this game
They gave it a 5.
Lmfao
Out of 5
Thank u for saving my time
@Myers literally. IGN can't be trusted, they gave deathloop a 10 ffs
@@gamerknowledge539Yeah.
Next time when you make a next gen game MAKE IT 60 FPS
Yup. That should be the standard for ps5/x! And if 30fps is unavoidable make stable AF. (No dips)
GET A PC 💁♂

This game is fun as hell. These reviews are becoming disrespectful.
Idk why some are saying that combat is boring. The Arkham games have THE most boring combat ever. It’s literally just punch, punch, counter, punch, punch, batarang, punch, counter, repeat. Most of the fights you don’t even have to move. You can literally stand in one spot and win…but yet the combat in that game is praised for being so fun and innovative…when it’s not. At least in this game you have to actively dodge, you get different weapon types, different characters that aren’t DLC, & abilities. This game isn’t perfect, but what he said about the combat was pretty biased imo. All he said was “it was boring.” Didn’t even give a reason for it.
U just plain dumb and don't have any creativity, u can stand still and win a fight, or you can use your brain and try all the gadgets and combos the arkham games has to offer
they cancelled batman beyond with damian wayne and old bruce for this
Games haven’t been the same in years. Idk why people expect so much from every gaming company. When we haven’t got much from any of them in years. Gotta go into games like this with not super low but mediocre expectations. And to all the people saying they wasted money, it’s $70. No offense but that’s literally nothing. Barely fills my tank. Think we need a higher level of intellect and maturity in the gaming community. And any negative replies you might as well keep them, you will get no response from me. This is just my opinion
Sigh , Imagine a new Batman game on the PS5 and Series X instead of this.
Don't put that sadness on me
Or....a freaking Batman AND Superman game Worlds Finest!?
This wasn’t made by rocksteady so it doesn’t affect wether a Batman game would be made or not
@@rjg1847 It's not like WB Montreal hasn't made an Arkham game before
I'll do you one better; imagine Arkham Knight enhanced and optimized for the PS5 and Series X
These Dev teams lost the fun out of gaming 😭 they mistake it for GRINDING and boring side quest. Same like what Assassin Creed went through 💀 for a few years.
We knew this was going to be a mess as soon as they mentioned that this was an RPG.
Is it me or half of the review is the guy complaining “why isn’t it like Arkham games!”
Not just you, this is just a 10 minute video of some butthurt Arkham fanboy getting mad that an unrelated game isn't another Arkham game.
“Mr. Freeze can create weather now?! Mr freeze can create weather now.”
“They fly now?! They fly now.”
Stop the exaggeration...I just got the game for ps5 and it's not as bad as you guys are claiming..it's definitely a 7/10 after patch
They should've just made another Batman game.. let's hope Rocksteady can save us with Suicide Squad
The characters were not the problem here
They will
And dont forget Monolith with Wonder woman
@@sambeahan They were, too niche to hold a game at this point. Should have properly introduced them in Batman games to set up this story.
@@sm4carnageihope these characters stand on their own, if rocksteady was developing this game it’d easily be up there with arkham games
u know they will...rocksteady knows what they are doing at least when it comes to game mechanics...im sure they wont hand us half assed RPG and co op shite...
Who would have thought that a Batman game where you can't play as Batman would be a bad idea?
It’s not even a Batman game you’re complaining about something so dumb
@@adee_3199 It literally is a Batman game.
@Victor Nieves Yeah because they aren't protagonists. If you want to play as side characters, then have that as an option, but to actually prevent you from playing as the titular character, for no real reason is just a nonsensical creative choice.
@Victor Nieves Different medium. In a tv show/movie/comic, you have limited time to go through the story. Sometimes a creator would need to exclude Batman to put all the time into that other character who lacks exploration. In a video game, there is literally no reason why they couldn't just create a Batman character. There is no page limit, or run-time. Just different characters to play as, except Batman. That makes no sense.
5/10: "It doesn't make you feel like Batman"
Thats the point? You are not batman
@@xprgamerx512 That's the joke? You do not know the meme
Gimme a Sifu styled game with Batman and the bat family…
Say what you say , It aint perfect , but its one of the best games Ive ever play
Makes me want to play Arkham Knight again
Keep in mind we would have had a Arkham game based on Damien Wayne and old Batman instead of this if it wasn’t for data leakers
This review made me want to return to arkham knight and finish those riddler quests
😆 🤣 😂
😃🙆♂️
Once you take Batman out it's pretty much over. Not my thing.
It's amazing to see that even if there was a performance mode, it would only give a stable 30fps.
"stable"
60 fps needs to be the standard now.
@@andmillions it’s supposedly to be the standard. It’s been over 2 years fir current gen consoles.
"Freeze can make weather now?"
"Freeze can make weather now."
This just gave me PTSD from the same line from Star Wars ep9.
Palpatine is alive.. somehow
Just recently purchased a PS5 and was hyped to get this game now I'm hearing all the negativity on it is a big let down
No joke was about to buy this and then the review came out loll thanks ✌️
"Weak predictable story"
Batman is alive
That would make the game even worse imo, you find out he is alive and they still make you play as the sidekicks 😂😂😆😆
almost everyone predicted that he was gonna be alive 😂
Just to die again lol
What would make it more worse is after you found out Batman is alive by the end of the game they let you play as him after beating the game
Well ra's mentioned the Lazarus pits so there that plus the court of owls will probly bring him back
Just back here to double check this game got the same rating as Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. Wow.
Not gonna lie I'm still purchasing this after a significant price drop
I’ll probably buy it when it’s 30
Epic games will give it for free in 2023
This game grew on me and I’m happy that people are starting to debunk this review.
It was clunky at first but everything just keeps getting better and better.
Re-evaluate this, IGN. It doesn’t deserve a 5. Lol
But they ruined the combat system
yeah, Im glad the sentiment is changing. Its selling really well as a game, and people are realizing the reviews were wong. New generation dont even read reviews anymore.
This game is awesome don’t listen to this biased review from someone who didn’t understand the game. If you look most gamers who haven’t beaten the game have continued to try and fight against this review
Everyone is sucking off Arkham Knight but in 2015 everyone shitting on it, yeah let’s get to that.
Arkham knight deserved the criticism it got like the boss fights and repetitive tank missions but u never saw complaints about the core game mechanics and how smooth, polished, and detailed everything is
@@JJS595 true your not wrong there
This game was meant to be games as a service.
It's crazy we believe ign when they give a low score but totally dismiss positive reviews 😂
The hood lace glitch at the 5:55 mark had me rolling!
How did they get away with that?
They call him red Hood for a reason
Just played Arkham Knight on PlayStation 5 again. What a great experience. Will wait 2 years when this game is $10 and pick it up. Very disappointing considering Origins was so much fun.
Honestly. They lost me when they said batman is dead. No thanks
Funny people dont agree they gave she hulk an 8, but suddenly when IGN gave this game a 5, it's probably right.
Exurbia game honestly does not look that bad it was doomed to have a bad score just because it’s constantly getting compared to The Arkham games when it isn’t made bumpy the same people it’s not even classified as the same game
If this game was woke. It would be an 8 at minimum
Confirmation bias.
It's almost as if it's a completely different reviewer.
@@doetoe6759 the point I'm trying to make. Just because this reviewer gave it a 5, doesn't mean it's a 5 for everyone. Someone out there will thought that this game is great and doesn't deserve a 5.
Game looks fun. When it's 80%-90% off on steam or $5 at gamestop I'll pick it up.
Atm on steam its 50% grab it now if you can. Yeah definitely worth cheaper, since with the bugs and all.
Still need a big open world Co-Op story like this, but in a mature ninja turtle game.
Rocksteady did set the bar so high, it's gonna be hard to top that. But this looks just embarrassing for 70$ and all the years of wasted potential.. 30 frames=30$bucks.
People need to stop comparing this to Arkham. It’s not the same game nor is it meant to be.
Not having control of your character? Not when you’ve been frozen.
Poor counter mechanic? Only when you miss and fail (as shown in this video)
Easy predictions? That’s life, almost every movie and game is predictable by miles.
Just enjoy it for what it is without the comparison.
Batman Arkham Knight is an Iconic game. They should have let Rocksteady make this game. Sad!!
WB was also kinda responsible for the painful experience that was MK11. They just make games for kids now. We who built them up have been tossed aside and it hurts man.
damn this game looks like a deep deep sale or better yet finding it on the high seas. This is like the season 8 of game thrones for the arkham games.
Oof roasted!
Season 8 of GOT should now be an official rating scale, like for example "the colonoscopy was painful, but atleast it wasn't GOT Season 8"
If you still want to play it don't buy it now. It will be half price very soon.
Dead on arrival
Think we can all agree we saw this coming. Sore one to all the people who kept the faith and the preorder.
