Arkham Knight

If only the game didn't make Batman into the Flash with Fear Takedowns so that he could actually fight his villains instead of one-shotting them in QTEs or cutscenes.

Agreed, but its not like you have to use fear takedowns

I would a lesbian.

I've completed everything except the Riddler riddles/trophies. Should I even bother? Some of the 3 star AR challenges seem ridiculous too but I think most of them would probably trial and error.

>make a villain that knows all of Batman’s secrets and techniques
>try to convince people it’s not Jason Todd

Why did they even tried to make this a secret?
We all knew this is going to be Red Hood - and there is nothing wrong with that. People really like Red Hood as this "wild card" antagonist.

One thing is bothering me - why the fuck is Oracle even in Gotham in the first place?
The entire city gets evacuated, Batman even sends off Robin and Nightwing because it's too dangerous - but the only member of Batfamily that stays in Gotham is a crippled girl on a wheelchair, whose entire schtick is that she can work remotely as a mission control. She could've been on the other side of the continent safe and sound and she would've been as useful as she was in the middle of a warzone in Gotham. And behold, she's taken hostage and nearly killed almost immediately.
She only stayed behind because the story needed a convienent damsel in distress.

>make four villains that know Batman's secret
>none ever try to reveal it to hurt him
>make a villain who doesn't give a shit about Batman's secret
>he's the one that ultimately exposes his identity

I can get Ra's and maybe even Bane, but it bothers me that Hugo Strange didn't just dox Batman as a spiteful dying act.

I guess they wanted it to be a mystery or a surprise, but that doesn’t really work out when there’s like three villains that do the whole “HURR I KNOW HOW YOU OPERATE BATMAN” thing.

Hugo got killed before he could do that.

>She could've been on the other side of the continent safe and sound and she would've been as useful as she was in the middle of a warzone in Gotham.
No she wouldn't.
Once you rescue her and bring her to the PD, she helps you from there, and if you pay attention you'll notice that since that moment her help is much less usefull and vague than how it was before, indicating that for her to actually be as helpful as she always is, she needs to work from her hideout, with all her resources, and that being anywhere else would cripple her helpfulness, without it even being a pun but an actual metaphor of her crippled state.

>"If you try to stop me, I'll reveal your identity to everyone."
>Batman begins trying to stop him
>Hugo even stops him by taking a guy hostage while he's about half an hour away from confronting him
>he just sits back and basically lets Batman kick his ass
>by the time he even could possibly consider taking revenge, Ra's kills him

Hugo was a dumbass, desu.

Hugo’s always let his ego get the better of him. Just look at TAS and The Batman.

Guys it was 3D chess to hide the Joker reveal, and it worked very well at release.
>have everyone theorise about the obvious boring twist to let their guards down and then BAM IM DA JOKA BABY

The Joker was just sort of...there. He wasn’t really a villain.

i dont know

I literally just beat this. So what is that ending? And what did you do with Ras?

I thought that was what was gonna happen when he was dying and told the computer "PASSCODE: WAYNE"
I mean why would that even be the passcode for the self destruction instead.
These games are dumb af, but in an authentic comicy way imo

Her having a "base of operations" was a thing in the 80's and 90's, when this whole "internet" thing was a new and crazy concept and Oracle was a crazy ridiculous character back then. She managed to "destroy the Internet" once or twice. But Arkham Knight takes place in modern days - she just uploads all her shit onto a pendrive or a cloud, packs a laptop and she's off to Hawaii, to save the world while driking pina coladas.

Fair enough.

I think everyone expected Joker to be in a game where Scarecrow could gas you at any time and have you hallucinate.

We’ll never get models this good in the inevitable Batman: Beyond Arkham, will we?

>sending Robin and Nightwing out of Gotham
You massive faggot didn't even play the game

Supposedly not.

But DMC are shit games, the fuck is the point of some retarded rating?

>and get rid of those counter symbols by default.
You can turn them off in the main menu by selecting the highest difficulty

Playing it through the first time now that it's on PS+, even though I already know everything since I watched all cutscenes on youtube
You can tell there's a lot of detail and heart put into the game. After some current AAA and AA games you can see how they were still paying attention to detail back in 2015. Destructible environments, unique assets and tons and tons of pamphlets and posters with actually readable shit
That shit must have sold at a loss. There's too many hours put into little, perhaps unnecessary details for shit like EA
The batmobile is ass

yeah right, that's totally why once she's at the PD she has to hack her way back into her hideout servers to be even slightly helpful.
All of Batman resources thing, be it in the 80/90s or nowadays, be it his super computer in the batcave or barbara's skills with it, has always been that it's vastly more advanced than what the general consumers and even high tech private companies have.
I don't remember the issue in which this is stated, and i think it's been said more than once anyway, but i remember how barbara mentioning how she's able to find anything in a couple of seconds mostly due to the high processing power of her computer and the "hundreds of GB of RAM", so no, she couldnt do shit with a usb stick and a laptop, not the kind of shit she can do from her hideout.

>Jason Todd has Batman cornered and puts a bullet in his stomach
>"yeah too bad Scarecrow said that you had to live otherwise you'd be dead lmao"
>"Alright boys, Batman's in the control room, kill him"
What did he mean by this

>6 fucking free games
fucking epic, they are making my backlog unbearable.

>games all need a style system so that way I know when I'm pulling off totally fr*cking epic combos!

The games name was a bit of a stretch.
So we've got Arkham Asylum, taken from the comics. Then we go bigger with Arkham City, makes sense, it's a continuation of the asylum. But then we've got a prequel that really has fuck all to do with Arkham yet they call it Arkham Origins. WHY?! JUST GIVE IT A DIFFERENT NAME FFS
>I uhh named myself the Arkham Knight because that's where the Joker expanded my boipucci by three inches

He knew Batman would survive that. He wanted Batman for himself.

The riddler trophies were really fun. As someone who thinks most collection trophy stuff is just autism, I actually had a good time with the ones that weren’t races. Some of the puzzles were legit interesting to figure out.

You can just tell Rocksteady are a tragic victim of WB's kikery. A talented studio forced to pozz their games from the Jews in high with bullshit. Kinda like Eidos.
It's not just the environments in Arkham Knight, it's all the great little character details and world building and subtle interactions.

Apparently their next game is going to be a fucking "Live Service" ffs

I can already feel that AK is stretching it with the attention to detail and plus the good graphics. A batman AAA game with top notch graphics that exist nowadays would not fly at all without making some serious compromises in order to save resources

I'll let you know that I'm a retard who played the game with all the grace of a shit fired from a potato gun and I didn't have any problem doing anything in the game. It was way too easy.

ok i have a question regarding arkham knight, can i transfer the save from steam to the drm free version? never completed it but i am thinking of giving it another chance.

This is why I like Arkham Asylum and to some extent Arkham Origins the most overall. Asylum is probably the most focused and coherent game, both in terms of story and gameplay. And I guess Arkham Origins was quite good thematically and in terms of overall story.
Shit starts to fall apart in Arkham City, when Ra's al Ghul, Joker and Hugo Strange start fighting for story attention and the game starts to become bloated, but the gameplay still holds up. And then Arkham Knight tries to tell too many stories at once (Scarecrow! MindJoker! Jason Todd! Oracle!) and introduce too many useless gimmicks that it all comes crashing down.

who knows bit i think they are doing something new

What are the chances we'll get to play as Terry McGinnis?
