Batman: Arkham Knight

[DCMarvelFanGuy]

Everything has a plot. What he probably means is that it was so bad in his opinion that it shouldn't be regarded as a plot, even though it is. That's it.

I suppose. I don't really agree with that though! I thought Rocksteady did a good job with the stories. There's room for improvement in some areas, sure. Overall, I was satisfied!

Finished the game to 100% tonight. It all went by so fast! Now on to the DLC (shells out more money)

 

[The Joker]

Quality over quantity and the quality has simply been lacking for many

Exactly.

It's easily the weakest game of the series, IMO.

So form their own opinion...unless it's that they don't like it? I forgot being a fan meant I had to just blindly love everything that comes out.

The removal of challenge maps depresses me greatly. AR challenges are awful.

The fact that you have to pay extra for them doesn't help either.

 

[Drz]

Tell me about it!

I enjoyed SOI. I'm hoping the snow isn't permanent though. It's screwed up the weather in AR challenges and it doesn't look good on the ground, no tyre tracks or footprints. I suspect It wasn't meant to be permanent and should have returned to rain, like it did after Ivy. Hope they fix this soon though!

Aren't the AR challenges the new version of challenge maps? You still earn medals and trophies for them right?

 

[Oscorp]

It's hard to explain why, but I like the AR challenges much less than the Challenge maps from earlier games. It's not simply a name change, there's something else to them that's missing.

There's only about 6 of them that deal about freeflow combat and predatore challanges, and when the "challanges" on some predator maps is using the easy mode (that instant knockdown move) it becomes a bigger bore.

So it really is a pain that to have more AR challanges, i'd have to pay more for the game and even pay for 3$ DLC just to unlock more characters for AR.

 

[Nardz937]

Are there traditional 4-round combat challenges in later crime fighter packs? I only have the first two so I wouldn't know.

They're similar in that way, yes. But they're different in the sense that there are different challenges.

It's all disorganized and confusing now. In the other games one screen would have all the combat challenges. They consisted of fighting through four rounds of enemies and you would build up the highest score so you can to get all the medals. Then there would be the same map again called (Extreme), it was pretty much just a harder version of the one you completed before. It had more enemies, tougher objectives etc. It was simple and consistent.

Now those are gone and have been replaced with combat challenges that aren't nearly as good or as fun. They're all over the place.

Yes i think it was pack 3 that started to bring those back but yeah if you get all 5 packes i think there is like 8 of the old 4 round style maps.

The only diffence really are not having 4 round maps but that was added latter and the charaters dont talk at the start like in the past. Another then that they are the same darn thing.

Thanks, bud. That's good to hear then.

 

[Team Andino]

Just getting into Season of Infamy.
This is the angle they should have taken overall.

Throw your post in spoiler tags man, DLC is brand new and not everyone has had the chance to play it.

I don't get it. Why would they change what has been the norm for 3 games?

 

[Drz]

They really thought Batmobile would be that great.

 

[Rodrigo90]

It is... to an 8 minute extent.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Batmobile was great for the most part. But I wish it was not at the expense of stuff we loved in the previous 3 games.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Then you really shouldn't be browsing a thread about the game if you're concerned about spoilers and the like then. Recent DLC, of course, but in general the game has been out long enough that people can be, and have been, pretty loose with that stuff now.

 

[Storm22]

Has anyone found a way to get rid of the snow after completing SOI? I'm starting to miss the rain now.

Whoops, sorry, that didn't even cross my mind... to be honest. You won't enjoy it any less when you actually play it.

As far as the Batmobile is concerned, I would have enjoyed it even more if Rocksteady wouldn't have sacrificed predator sequences for it. Predator isn't as engaging as it was in past games.

The potential for everything was there, but it's like they ultimately forgot what made these games special. Yes, the Batmobile was necessary to have, but not at the expense of other game play elements.

From all that I've read, perhaps it would have been better to simply have the batmobile primarily be for transportation. And take out the drone tanks with gadgets, eliminate battle mode, that way we don't have to wait till completing most of the story to use other batmobiles.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think the drone fights would've been fine if there just weren't so many of them, like when you are literally engaged in a stealth mission with your freaking tankmobile. And then replacing actual boss fights with stuff with the Batmobile.
