Batman: Arkham Knight
- Thread starter Falstaff
- Start date
I seriously doubt that the game is a 7 out of 10 after playing Arkham City. That would mean it would rate under the first one which was an extremely short game.
I have faith they will knock it out of the park again.

Their Heroes of the Storm review was absurd. I don't really care they gave it a 6.5 but the fact that the text was full of flat-out misinformation really bugged me. But I haven't put any stock in game reviews in such a long time since it became obvious video game journalism was the biggest joke around and after seeing pictures of the huge pre-launch parties studios threw for these sleezeballs.

Yeah they suck.
Sounds like two things that really pissed off Van Ord was that they give away (with tons of too much foreshadowing) who the Arkham Knight is to a fault so the twist/surprise doesn't ever happen, along with being forced to use the Bat Mobile damn near a third of the game. So two things could have fixed it. A little less obvious on the foreshadowing, and allow players to play through certain puzzles the way they want to play through them instead of being forced to use the Bat Mobile without any other options.

No. Asylum had much better puzzles to figure out the rooms. City's puzzles were repetitive and most of them were solved by just brute forcing them with takedowns and running away. I liked both games but I preferred Asylum.
It did not. In fact I played those games back to back. If you think Asylum had good puzzles you are insane. The Arkham games have never been good with intelligent puzzles anyway.
City was the superior story, and batman experience. Asylum can literally be beaten in one sitting. It is that short, and the end fight with Joker is laughably easy.

Arkham City is, at best, half an hour to maybe an hour longer than Arkham Asylum. Maybe you're adding Arkham City's DLC to the game time.
How long is Batman: Arkham Asylum? - HLTB
How long is Batman: Arkham City? - HLTB
The rest of this disagreement is just opinion.
Main + Extras 16h 45m
Main + Extras 22h 32m
Thats a 6 hour diffrence....
If you ever played City's DLC you would immediately know that it is not a 6 hour DLC. More like half an hour of Robin running around
And In the all play styles category. City clocks in at over 5 hours longer then Asylum.
For Completionists, City almost doubles the time of Asylum at 26 vs 48 hours.

They both have a shitload of filler.... have you even played these games? Look at their main story line scores..
And no I don't agree, all the mad hatter stuff, the Ras side stories and everything else was extremely fun to play in City.

I liked both Asylum and City, and even started playing Origins on Steam again recently.
I think the thing for me is it's the same damn game over and over again. Except in this one I guess you can target guns to make them inoperable and your Bat Mobile gets forced on you.
I mean don't get me wrong, I love the combat and storylines and flying around Gotham... But the rinse and repeat is getting tiresome.
A new Batman Era would be epic here. Like bringing it back to the days of Adam West. Similar to what Rockstar did with Red Dead Redemption. Or just shitcan Batman and make a Superman game in this same fashion with entirely new play features. Can you imagine a game made by Rocksteady with all the play functionality of Batman's combat responsiveness with completely new Superman powers like X-Ray vision, cold breath, light rays from the eyes, I mean the possibilities here are endless.
Well you are not going to love this new game then, I can guarantee it. It will be the same thing with some new stuff added to it. It's basically the Nintendo philosophy of making games.
