This is nowhere near one of the 1st $70 games. Those games existed in the mid nineties, I'm not sure where people are getting their info from. All this is is more fake outrage. I feel bad for those that think $70 is a lot of money, the developers need compensation for their work.
@@deepblue8143 Right.. But cost has to = the value. Games no longer need cds or cases or papers. All digital = cheaper Then you are competing with other things. What can one buy for 70$? Go to an amusement park a few times, See 7 or so movies etc. This game came out and was unplayable by most. Is that worth 70$? Have to wait a month or longer to play? Many games nowadays are not worth $70.
@bobshanery5152 I agree that many games are not worth 70 however, many are especially something like Elden Ring where I sunk over 190 hours in. I can't take my family to the movies for 70 dollars, same as a theme park which nowadays nrlearly requires a loan or a 2nd mortgage of you want to go to Disneyland. I don't want games to be 70 dollars at all however I think it's been a long time coming. I spend 70 on NFS Unbound and a week later it was 39.99. That's my fault for not waiting.
The problem with games like this is that the dev's bosses look at the market and think a series needs to change in order to keep making money. Sadly they don't realize that if people like what they always got, there's no need to change it.
@@thegamingprozone1941 I'd have to agree, some people think God of War might get it though. In 2018 I thought Red Dead 2 was going to win game of the year but God of War beat it, curious to see if it will upset Elden Rimg for the win.
I went to a private launch of the game in the park row London restaurant and instead of inviting gamers and fans, all the "influencers" bought up the tickets and didn't know/care jack about the game or batmanverse. This saddened me😅

My personal biggest issue with the game, as a humongous fan of the Arkham games, is that it isn't the same storyline. I don't have a problem with it being a different story, but it being very clear would be nice. If it was a part of the Arkham storyline, then it could just be considered the worst in the series but it isn't and the gameplay is much, much worse than a game that came out 7 fucking years before it (Batman Arkham Knight) and this is the studio made Batman Arkham Origins, and it was pretty good so you would think they would have an idea of what Gotham Knights should imitate and build upon. But no, we have a game with my only hope left being a good story, and they fucked up on that too, and THEY FUCKING MADE ARKHAM ORIGINS! Just for context, insomniac, who made ratchet and clank (the reboot was pretty bad), and Spyro, who had no experience with superhero games of this type, fucking nailed it pretty well for a first attempt (I still won't forgive them for the remastered edition peter parker), because they had a pretty fucking good idea what makes a good superhero game while making it unique, and someone who did it before SOMEHOW FUCKED IT UP?! Insomniac did it again with miles morales and still didn't fuck it up this badly. My heart literally hurts to see such an amazing game ip fall so hard.
Seeing how the game turned out, thank Christ it's not a part of the Arkham verse. Imagine how depressing that would have been. Waiting 7 years to get a sequel to Arkham Knight (or another prequel), just to have the game be a "Not Live Service" Looter Brawler grind fest with no FreeFlow combat and spongy enemies.

Sad to see Red Hood done this badly. Death in the Family is one of the greatest DC Red Hood movies ever. Seeing Joker become normal after Batman’s death realizing he’s got no reason to be Joker anymore. Until Red Hood (dressed normally not as his costume) sits next to him, hears his Joke about the 2 escaped convicts using a flashlight to cross a gap Red Hood says “I’ll tell the big man you said hello.” Joker giving off an ungodly creepy smile saying “Boy Wonder.” Then getting stabbed in the eye by Red Hood, his face paint and hear turning back into his normal colours with the coffee washing some of it off as he laughs for the first time since he fought Batman, dying. The true Red Hood kills while the fake Red Hood talks about his anger issues. In Under the Red Hood, Red Hood had every right to be angry, thinking that since he was close to Batman that Joker killing him, Batman would make an exception and kill Joker, realizing that the Joker is never going to stop killing until he’s dead but rather than prevent other from being murdered by Joker he keeps to his code of no killing. Red Hood saying one of the best lines of dialogue I’ve seen in a DC show “Is that what you think this is about? You letting me die? I don’t know what cloud your judgement worse, your guilt or your antiquated sense of morality. Bruce I forgive you for not saving me. But why, why on God’s earth is he still alive”
Red Hood is almost comic accurate, currently in the comics he's stopped killing and using guns, fights with crowbars. It's called an Arc, and I love the way he's presented in game
@@psylina Not armor piercing, expanding gel bullets that maximize kinetic energy transfer without penetrating skin. Like a long range mace strike, think like a gelatin beanbag round. There's more info on it in the in-game database. Blunt kinetics are fantastic for dealing damage through real world armor btw, maces were an answer to armored knights, because the vibration of the strike is what deals the damage, meaning the armor only absorbed a tiny bit of the impact.
@@JakeTalksGamesYTNo it’s just a character assassination that ruins the build up of Jason’s character since his days as Robin. Making Red hood soft takes away what makes him interesting which is ideology of “the ends justify the means”.
This redhood doesn't look like he came from the dead, but as if his parents were siblings- He looks like an orc from the shadow of Mordor. This Redhood looks like an Ogryn from Darktied
they honestly need to make a reboot of batman with terry (Batman Beyond), or maybe add a dlc where he time travel into multiverse to change this gameplay mechanics or something just feels so lackluster of a game
Had a feeling it would be this way since they announced it as a “co-op adventure”, which is somehow now code for “arbitrary numbers over enemies heads” and all the other dumbass free to play model monetization mechanics. (See Wolfenstein Youngblood, Far Cry New Dawn, etc)
Bruce giving speeches about how you the rich always want more, despite being part of that catagory that you dont stay in generally unless you're really part of not just A; You're part of that rich camp, but B; you're likely doing some of the same things to STAY there in the world as we know it. But hey on that B part, can say it's a world different where you don't need to do or be all that to stay rich but... Yeah, that's gonna be a hard one to really try and hold onto. Reality is, real life has become just about as twisted, if not more so, than many of the comics. Another fun review that strikes truer than much out there. Quickly becoming a deeper fan of the channel. Right now this and Civvie 11 are my top picks along with RGT 85. True strikers of the reality while injecting a universe of altered reality we need to ponder to survive it.
I appreciate how this guy actually puts time into writing the description. Been awhile since I read a description that wasn't just a video-to-video copy/paste
You didn't even go that in-depth into how bad the combat truly is, which is by far the most offensive thing about the game to me in addition to just basic movement actions, so, let me just add some more details: 1: The game takes control away from the player arbitrary for doing seemingly innocuous actions like after doing a special move you briefly can't attack or dodge for a few seconds. 2: Simply turning your character in the direction you want to face comes with an egregiously noticeable animation delay that locks you out of any other actions. 3: Sometimes inputs just won't register at all until you press the button for a second or even third time, even though your character is CLEARLY back in a neutral (0) position. This is incredibly baffling considering this game has an input queue system, so the game is literally just dropping inputs out of nowhere sometimes. I often have this happen with batgirl's beat-down special where she'll just stop attacking even though I'm still mashing the X button. 4: I heard they fixed it on console recently but the problem of dropping down from a perch just to have the game fling you half way across the map is still very prevalent on PC. This completely fucks over the stealth gameplay even more. 5: There's no cancelling at all outside of dodge-canceling. 6: Your dodge has no I-frames at all, which means you're completely at the mercy of attacks with horrendously bad hit-boxes at times and melee attacks that come at you out of nowhere from off-screen because they put WAY too much tracking and vortex on them, which looks absolutely goofy. A godmother's spinning attack literally teleports her half a mile to your position. 7: indicators for enemies preparing to shoot you from off-screen often blend into the environment, making them hard to see and react to sometimes. 8: The auto-targeting sometimes has a mind of its own. You could be pressing the stick in one direction and your character will still choose to attack an enemy in the opposite direction. And you need to direct your character as much as possible unless you want to be attacking the air because an animation left your character standing with their BACK TOWARDS the enemy. Simply pressing an attack button won't turn them around. And I could go on, but I'll stop there. The most sluggish, unresponsive, stiff and needlessly restrictive combat I've possibly ever played with. Incredibly undercooked, just like the rest of the game, to a mediocre degree.
You know the best part abbout red hood going to terapy and not kiling. In arkham knight he went to terapy with tonpkins affter the story and even with terapy he still is killing a lot off crminals because because THAT IS WHAT RED HOOD DOES.
Any enthusiasm I had for playing as Red Hood went out the window when I realized that the psychotic killer from Arkham Knight had been turned into a member of the Scooby Gang.
Lol I love your reviews so much! Because of you I’ve experienced Midnight fight express! And I just couldn’t wait for you to review this garbage! I appreciate you sir! And there’s no way that aircraft Batman was in at the end didn’t have any artillery instead of kamikaze attack!
Its even worse on saints row reboot why yall shitting on gotham knights it was way better than saints row id rather play gotham knights it didnt crash as much saints row constantly crashed
A lot of this is pretty on point. After waiting so long I was expecting it to at least be as well presented as the last game. It wasn't. It feels like something that would have been a lot more interesting with an original character or possibly even a character you create. Attaching the Batman Arkham name to it in any way really really didn't help it at all.
I did enjoy the scenes with Alfred fortunately, but the rest of the dialogue, glitches in cutscenes or Bruce dancing in his underwear at the Iceberg Lounge was odd.
You still had a better experience than I did. I bought it and couldn’t start it on my series X, so I returned my physical copy and bought it digital and had the same issue so I refunded it too. WB Montreal basically told me to wait for a patch when I contacted support too
Thank you so much 🤣 for critiquing the game, in a way that brings laughter and is far different from most other reviewers out there. Keep up the good work 👏🏻 Love to see it happen
Wow, this game is truly a complete and utterly mess. Insane how bad it actually is. On so many levels. When you test the game, long before release, it would be obvious that this game is nowhere ready to be released. It need 1 more year, at least. Graphics, story, gameplay, bloody horrible.
Fleek … thank you for breaking down the character/red hood, bullshit. This is as much Batman/Gotham universe with its world n characters as Fortnite is when it copies and paste aesthetic skins onto its avatars n map for some superhero season. Superficial disingenuous bullshit.
So they fake killed Bruce Wayne just to for real this time kill him off at the end, but they had to have him break his no kill rule during the final hour just because? I ain't even gonna try the game when it comes to Game Pass in a few months. Fuck this game.
Let saints row 2022 and gotham knights be a lesson to game studios to make sure to put passion and effor in their games. But lets be real. They will most likely never listen
Red Hood moves like Batman is in a Super Heavy Mech suit. Also damn story, Batman is a pushover when it comes to his morals while Red Hood is a pushover too.

So Saints Row is worse than Gotham Knights? Geez... Didn't play any of those, but I must say i'm surprised. Btw saying Arkham Knight is "good" is an insult. Arkham Origins is good. Arkham Knight is a masterpiece, even if 11% of it is mandatory Batmobile.

First $70 game, also first one that will drop in price like a rock
This is nowhere near one of the 1st $70 games. Those games existed in the mid nineties, I'm not sure where people are getting their info from. All this is is more fake outrage. I feel bad for those that think $70 is a lot of money, the developers need compensation for their work.
@@deepblue8143
Right..
But cost has to = the value.
Games no longer need cds or cases or papers. All digital = cheaper
Then you are competing with other things. What can one buy for 70$? Go to an amusement park a few times, See 7 or so movies etc.
This game came out and was unplayable by most. Is that worth 70$? Have to wait a month or longer to play?
Many games nowadays are not worth $70.
@bobshanery5152 I agree that many games are not worth 70 however, many are especially something like Elden Ring where I sunk over 190 hours in. I can't take my family to the movies for 70 dollars, same as a theme park which nowadays nrlearly requires a loan or a 2nd mortgage of you want to go to Disneyland. I don't want games to be 70 dollars at all however I think it's been a long time coming. I spend 70 on NFS Unbound and a week later it was 39.99. That's my fault for not waiting.
always great when Fleek uploads again

I don't think you're using that phrase the way that you THINK you're using that phrase.
"The only thing that can stop a bad billionaire is a good billionaire"
--marketing quote from a billionaire at WB
A bad one, too. (The WB billionaire, not the quote. I take it back they're both bad.)
Wait, the Saints Row reboot only came out 2 months ago? I could have sworn that it was at least a 6.
a 6 worse than 4 then
i still think that game is a bad fever dream
The problem with games like this is that the dev's bosses look at the market and think a series needs to change in order to keep making money. Sadly they don't realize that if people like what they always got, there's no need to change it.
But this is an original game? This isn't the arkhamverse

@@blaktiger5939 Exactly my point. People prefer the arkham games.

Maybe they should've made an Arkham game, but that doesn't mean Gotham Knights is bad.
Sad you did not talked about the dark temptations more - I say that needed more awareness.
The "Check your privilege" ending killed me 🤣 well done.
New AAA titles never fail to disappoint 😍
nah, modern gaming are lazy
Expect for Elden Ring tho!
@@thegamingprozone1941 wonder if it will get game of the year?
@@deepblue8143 it better or ima riot
@@thegamingprozone1941 I'd have to agree, some people think God of War might get it though. In 2018 I thought Red Dead 2 was going to win game of the year but God of War beat it, curious to see if it will upset Elden Rimg for the win.
Plus, aren't the "rich" owls also technically criminals? So by relation, criminals DO scare Batman?
I went to a private launch of the game in the park row London restaurant and instead of inviting gamers and fans, all the "influencers" bought up the tickets and didn't know/care jack about the game or batmanverse. This saddened me😅
Typical of so called influencers, social media is a disease.
Can the trend of adding level systems fucking end? I don't find fun having to fight 30 idiots which only challenge is that they pinge on bullets
Almost like that’s the point of Rpgs🤯🤯simply don’t play them
@@xreaper2451 Dude my 200+ hours in WOW know this, I'm pointing out that most game are far away from being RPGs however they still add bullet sponges and level systems it's a bankrupt creative decision made to put the "100+ hour content" in the cover.
Sad state of triple A market I guess
Is this seriously what they did to Batman?
Jesus... Conroy must've entered his grave turning like a fuckin beyblade...
Suicide squad did way worse.
🤣
>It was never the criminals of Gotham who scared me, its you. The rich who want more.
Question: who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne, traumatizing young Bruce for life and inspiring him to become Batman?
A: A rich guy who wants to become richer.
B: Some random mugger, probably struggling for cash.
That ending is so relatable.
My personal biggest issue with the game, as a humongous fan of the Arkham games, is that it isn't the same storyline. I don't have a problem with it being a different story, but it being very clear would be nice. If it was a part of the Arkham storyline, then it could just be considered the worst in the series but it isn't and the gameplay is much, much worse than a game that came out 7 fucking years before it (Batman Arkham Knight) and this is the studio made Batman Arkham Origins, and it was pretty good so you would think they would have an idea of what Gotham Knights should imitate and build upon. But no, we have a game with my only hope left being a good story, and they fucked up on that too, and THEY FUCKING MADE ARKHAM ORIGINS! Just for context, insomniac, who made ratchet and clank (the reboot was pretty bad), and Spyro, who had no experience with superhero games of this type, fucking nailed it pretty well for a first attempt (I still won't forgive them for the remastered edition peter parker), because they had a pretty fucking good idea what makes a good superhero game while making it unique, and someone who did it before SOMEHOW FUCKED IT UP?! Insomniac did it again with miles morales and still didn't fuck it up this badly. My heart literally hurts to see such an amazing game ip fall so hard.
Seeing how the game turned out, thank Christ it's not a part of the Arkham verse.
Imagine how depressing that would have been.
Waiting 7 years to get a sequel to Arkham Knight (or another prequel), just to have the game be a "Not Live Service" Looter Brawler grind fest with no FreeFlow combat and spongy enemies.
I can't believe that Arkham Knight is 7 years old.

When batman kills but red hood doesnt, you know the writers dont give a shit about lore
Sad to see Red Hood done this badly. Death in the Family is one of the greatest DC Red Hood movies ever. Seeing Joker become normal after Batman’s death realizing he’s got no reason to be Joker anymore. Until Red Hood (dressed normally not as his costume) sits next to him, hears his Joke about the 2 escaped convicts using a flashlight to cross a gap Red Hood says “I’ll tell the big man you said hello.” Joker giving off an ungodly creepy smile saying “Boy Wonder.” Then getting stabbed in the eye by Red Hood, his face paint and hear turning back into his normal colours with the coffee washing some of it off as he laughs for the first time since he fought Batman, dying. The true Red Hood kills while the fake Red Hood talks about his anger issues. In Under the Red Hood, Red Hood had every right to be angry, thinking that since he was close to Batman that Joker killing him, Batman would make an exception and kill Joker, realizing that the Joker is never going to stop killing until he’s dead but rather than prevent other from being murdered by Joker he keeps to his code of no killing. Red Hood saying one of the best lines of dialogue I’ve seen in a DC show “Is that what you think this is about? You letting me die? I don’t know what cloud your judgement worse, your guilt or your antiquated sense of morality. Bruce I forgive you for not saving me. But why, why on God’s earth is he still alive”
@Crystalx Oof ppl watch the movies and think they're experts on the character💀
Red Hood is almost comic accurate, currently in the comics he's stopped killing and using guns, fights with crowbars.
It's called an Arc, and I love the way he's presented in game
@@JakeTalksGamesYT Yet he uses guns with dumb 'non lethal armor penetration' bullets in this game
@@psylina Not armor piercing, expanding gel bullets that maximize kinetic energy transfer without penetrating skin. Like a long range mace strike, think like a gelatin beanbag round. There's more info on it in the in-game database. Blunt kinetics are fantastic for dealing damage through real world armor btw, maces were an answer to armored knights, because the vibration of the strike is what deals the damage, meaning the armor only absorbed a tiny bit of the impact.
@@JakeTalksGamesYTNo it’s just a character assassination that ruins the build up of Jason’s character since his days as Robin. Making Red hood soft takes away what makes him interesting which is ideology of “the ends justify the means”.
This redhood doesn't look like he came from the dead, but as if his parents were siblings- He looks like an orc from the shadow of Mordor.
This Redhood looks like an Ogryn from Darktied
When you look up the lead writer for Gotham Knights, it all starts to make sense.
How can they regress from the combat masterpiece RockSteady made in the Arkham series?
What a timeline we live in...
Different developer
@@armyofuno8196 still inexcusable though. Rocksteady set the standard, you'd think every other developer would aim to meet it.
@@thathandsomedevil0828 The standard of having a broken release on PC (arkham knight) that forced the game to be taken off? Only the best
@@armyofuno8196 no, the combat mechanics that the Arkham series perfected. Arkham Asylum being the game that actually set mark.
@@thathandsomedevil0828 and Arkham Knight evolved it's FFC perfectly letting you interact with the environment and pick up melee weapons
I honestly believe Fleek made this scene much better
"My brother in christ we go to the same country club!-"
"CHECK YOUR PRIVLEEDGE!"
they honestly need to make a reboot of batman with terry (Batman Beyond), or maybe add a dlc where he time travel into multiverse to change this gameplay mechanics or something just feels so lackluster of a game
And now Suicide Squad is up for the chopping block. RIP Kevin Conroy, you deserved better
The inventory and UI are the definition of soulless
Batman: "I'll never kill the Joker. But the rich...😡"
Had a feeling it would be this way since they announced it as a “co-op adventure”, which is somehow now code for “arbitrary numbers over enemies heads” and all the other dumbass free to play model monetization mechanics. (See Wolfenstein Youngblood, Far Cry New Dawn, etc)
Bruce giving speeches about how you the rich always want more, despite being part of that catagory that you dont stay in generally unless you're really part of not just A; You're part of that rich camp, but B; you're likely doing some of the same things to STAY there in the world as we know it.
But hey on that B part, can say it's a world different where you don't need to do or be all that to stay rich but... Yeah, that's gonna be a hard one to really try and hold onto. Reality is, real life has become just about as twisted, if not more so, than many of the comics.
Another fun review that strikes truer than much out there. Quickly becoming a deeper fan of the channel. Right now this and Civvie 11 are my top picks along with RGT 85. True strikers of the reality while injecting a universe of altered reality we need to ponder to survive it.
Just found your channel, I love your humor and your videos are great! Actually great humor with information that actually helps understand the game!
Here after the insulting suicide squad game.
batman: Rich people bad.
Bernie Sanders: if you'll excuse me I have to go change my pants
I appreciate how this guy actually puts time into writing the description. Been awhile since I read a description that wasn't just a video-to-video copy/paste
You didn't even go that in-depth into how bad the combat truly is, which is by far the most offensive thing about the game to me in addition to just basic movement actions, so, let me just add some more details:
1: The game takes control away from the player arbitrary for doing seemingly innocuous actions like after doing a special move you briefly can't attack or dodge for a few seconds.
2: Simply turning your character in the direction you want to face comes with an egregiously noticeable animation delay that locks you out of any other actions.
3: Sometimes inputs just won't register at all until you press the button for a second or even third time, even though your character is CLEARLY back in a neutral (0) position. This is incredibly baffling considering this game has an input queue system, so the game is literally just dropping inputs out of nowhere sometimes. I often have this happen with batgirl's beat-down special where she'll just stop attacking even though I'm still mashing the X button.
4: I heard they fixed it on console recently but the problem of dropping down from a perch just to have the game fling you half way across the map is still very prevalent on PC. This completely fucks over the stealth gameplay even more.
5: There's no cancelling at all outside of dodge-canceling.
6: Your dodge has no I-frames at all, which means you're completely at the mercy of attacks with horrendously bad hit-boxes at times and melee attacks that come at you out of nowhere from off-screen because they put WAY too much tracking and vortex on them, which looks absolutely goofy. A godmother's spinning attack literally teleports her half a mile to your position.
7: indicators for enemies preparing to shoot you from off-screen often blend into the environment, making them hard to see and react to sometimes.
8: The auto-targeting sometimes has a mind of its own. You could be pressing the stick in one direction and your character will still choose to attack an enemy in the opposite direction. And you need to direct your character as much as possible unless you want to be attacking the air because an animation left your character standing with their BACK TOWARDS the enemy. Simply pressing an attack button won't turn them around.
And I could go on, but I'll stop there. The most sluggish, unresponsive, stiff and needlessly restrictive combat I've possibly ever played with. Incredibly undercooked, just like the rest of the game, to a mediocre degree.
You know the best part abbout red hood going to terapy and not kiling. In arkham knight he went to terapy with tonpkins affter the story and even with terapy he still is killing a lot off crminals because because THAT IS WHAT RED HOOD DOES.
Any enthusiasm I had for playing as Red Hood went out the window when I realized that the psychotic killer from Arkham Knight had been turned into a member of the Scooby Gang.
Bruce Wayne talking about the Rich was funny when he is very Rich himself.

Hey anyone remember Star Wars the force unleashed? Remember how it had like 40 different skills and combos you could unlock? I do. I miss that shit.

A lot of this is pretty on point. After waiting so long I was expecting it to at least be as well presented as the last game. It wasn't.
It feels like something that would have been a lot more interesting with an original character or possibly even a character you create. Attaching the Batman Arkham name to it in any way really really didn't help it at all.

You still had a better experience than I did. I bought it and couldn’t start it on my series X, so I returned my physical copy and bought it digital and had the same issue so I refunded it too. WB Montreal basically told me to wait for a patch when I contacted support too
I'm glad to see you finally getting the subs you deserve! Great videos with a lotta editing work.
Remember when watch dogs was considered bad?
Thank you so much 🤣 for critiquing the game, in a way that brings laughter and is far different from most other reviewers out there. Keep up the good work 👏🏻 Love to see it happen
Your videos are so fun to watch. Thank you.
there is no man on YT to give more honest reviews then this dude !
Wow, this game is truly a complete and utterly mess. Insane how bad it actually is. On so many levels. When you test the game, long before release, it would be obvious that this game is nowhere ready to be released. It need 1 more year, at least. Graphics, story, gameplay, bloody horrible.
Man they made redhood built like shrek and not in a good way
Red Hood is the coolest bat family member and they did him dirty here. He's the DC punisher.
“Get you back to your bigass family” killed me
This video is very informative and hilarious lol.
Fleek … thank you for breaking down the character/red hood, bullshit. This is as much Batman/Gotham universe with its world n characters as Fortnite is when it copies and paste aesthetic skins onto its avatars n map for some superhero season. Superficial disingenuous bullshit.
I can’t believe you ended the review like that . I was expecting closing thoughts. Ha. Funny. I like you

I like how Red Hook "won't kill" but still primarily uses guns
So they fake killed Bruce Wayne just to for real this time kill him off at the end, but they had to have him break his no kill rule during the final hour just because?
I ain't even gonna try the game when it comes to Game Pass in a few months. Fuck this game.
Let saints row 2022 and gotham knights be a lesson to game studios to make sure to put passion and effor in their games. But lets be real. They will most likely never listen

They should have based the game on Battle for the Cowl. Part 1 you play as Dick. Part 2 as Tim. Part 3 as Jason.
Red Hood moves like Batman is in a Super Heavy Mech suit.
Also damn story, Batman is a pushover when it comes to his morals while Red Hood is a pushover too.

So Saints Row is worse than Gotham Knights? Geez... Didn't play any of those, but I must say i'm surprised. Btw saying Arkham Knight is "good" is an insult. Arkham Origins is good. Arkham Knight is a masterpiece, even if 11% of it is mandatory Batmobile.
